But I have cried nut because I as sad,,,but It was such nostalgic feeling and joy to contact with my families,,, such a feeling,,, The experience is my treasure in my life.😀😀😀😀
we all came from very tribal cultures where song , dance , drums were every day forms of worship. Its in all of our blood. for most "non native" americnas our ancestors less than 3000 years ago were all tribal people, hunter gatherers, early agriculturalists. Our memories dont die so easily--thats is why powwow are so powerful for all of us
I’m not even Native American and hearing these songs and the drum beats almost makes me emotional. They all put so much heart and soul into their songs and have held on to their cultures and traditions despite so many years of oppression.
@@mercster You should definitely seek help just by saying that. What spews from the mouth is manifestation of what is in the heart! May the Creator grant you peace!
As in African American. I truly enjoyed watching the greatness of the indigenous peoples of America. you truly have a special culture. Never forget who you are, never forget your ancestors. Peace and love to all.
Just attended my first pow wow in Albuquerque. My father is Tarahumara. Hes almost 80 years old. He told me right away hed never felt so much love n proud to be Native. Recommend everyone to put it on their bucket list.
Thanks for sharing. Is your grandfather from Chihuahua? My great grandpa was a native from the Sonoran Desert, we aren’t sure where came he from exactly.

It’s such an honor to share this country this nation with our native American family. Our brothers and sisters. Two of my children are 50% Mescalero Apache.
I'm so proud to be an Apache warrior. Like my father before me and his father before him. And his mother before him. I didn't come here to cry about oppression. I came to boast our bravery and victories. We have conquered our enemies. I'm Jewish and Apache. Millions died so that I may live and carry on their path to the promise land. I come to you with one message -live long and multiply!!!
Coming from an American Indian, our culture was put through a lot.From kids being taken from their homes and to a boarding school where they were forced to learn the American ways, All the way to going missing just from being Indian. I am very glad that we don’t have to go through this as much as we used to.
Im Greek and watch these all the time, I LOVE this....!!!! Nothing better then getting people together to celebrate their heritage and honor their ancestors!!!!! Wish I was allowed to attend!!!
You are allowed to attend. They are open to all nations, including Greeks. If it this was a closed traditional gathering we would not be seeing photos from the event. No video allowed.
My wife is Metis and I'm as far as I know am a pasty LIGHT skinned boy and I'm allowed to go to Pow Wow's, that being said, because of past tensions between those of European ancestry and the Indigenous population...I am FULLY aware of MY light skin and am on my best behavior. Thanks to the re-education my wonderful , wise and beautifully charming REDHEADED METIS wife has provided me!!! LOL

My daughter and granddaughter has Hopi blood. My late husband was half Native, and half Caucasian. My late husband wish was always taking me to see this pow wow dance. But he never had his dream come true. My wish and dream is to take my daughter and granddaughter some day. To keep the memory alive for my late husband.
As a black person who is trying my best to understand and honor the people that originally lived on this land, I love watching powwow videos and hope to come to one in the future
They did not originally live on this land. Millions of other people lived here and were displaced, colonized and even murdered by these the later wanderers.
Could you imagine if his ancestors helped you too? Please keep phone and laptop off your body they cook the body and so people get "issues" like you had sometimes. The EMF is too much for people.
Despite that I don't have known Native American heritage, I'm very, very fond of Native American cultures. The music is so relaxing, healing, and comforting. Native American wisdom of the elders has taught me so very much.
We come from the same roots as our ancestors, so everyone have a different perspective on cultural & history but it may divide us into separate understanding of this vast known universe. We're all relatives
Thank you so much for saying that ! It explains why I want to learn so much and even try to learn some of the language and I’m fascinated by all of the aspects. Especially the Sun Dance
IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE SO MANY NATIVES COMING TOGETHER. MOST OF US NATIVE BLOOD ARE COMPLETELY DISCONECTED FROM TRADITIONAL SONGS, DANCES AND TRADITIONS. MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BLESS ALL NATIVE PEOPLES AND THE TRUE WAYS STILL COMING THROUGH. AHO.
I worked for 10 years on a reservation in AZ as a counselor. During that time, I drove all the way to Albuquerque twice for the All Nations Pow Wow. It was a wonderful experience I will never forget. It's amazing how packed that Stadium was and even getting to a BR was quite a feat and everyone got along. Nothing but love there. I will never forget that experience. Ya ta hey.

I discovered what is Powwow thanks to the beautiful novel "There There", I really wanted to know more about it and about Native culture. I am so impressed by these majestic dancers, the power of the drums and the chantings. Beautiful, beautiful traditions. Keep on singing, keep on dancing and tell you story ✨✨
I read so many books, fiction and nonfiction about Native Americans when I was barely old enough to read, and then every documentary I ever found!

And this is only a fraction of the total amount of tribes represented from the Americas still surviving today. Very beautiful to see them freer than before
Aztec????? They got extinct hundreds and thousands years ago......... There its virtually impossible to be Aztec. 😊😄I would understand Comanche, Apache, Cherokee, and Lakota. But seriously??? Lol smh
@@MegaLastchild Aztecs people still exist. The indigenous languages that were spoken then still exist. They now called Nahuatl. Look it up. Research it if you don’t believe me. There are various insidious people and languages still in Mexico. You are latino so you should know this. Educate yourself about our roots.
@@coldwar45 son they went extinct a long time ago unless you're talking about spiritually bc it's a known fact there is no more Aztecs if there is they're probably 10% bc that blood line died out I am well educated and know what I'm talking about!
These people are not first and true American they are Mestizos. The first and true Americans came from East Asia who crossed the Bering Sea Land approximately 35000+ years ago. Original first and true Native American Indian ancestors came from Siberia, Korea, Japan, and Alaska.
Germany does not exist. Never has. Its another belief in the Holy Roman Empire. Germanic culture is a different story Are we familiar with Arians at all?

I love all of the dances and dancers but the Tiny Tots and Golden Age dancers always grab my heartstrings the most. Last week had it’s challenges and I am grateful I was able to meet my obligation to help my brother in his time of need. After I had a day to recover, I went out to run some errands and a juvenile eagle landed four feet in front of me on the pavement, looking into my eyes for a few moments before flying off.

Now THAT was the coolest shit I've seen. Doesn't matter what walk of life your from, THAT STUFF makes your feet bounce. Seriously impressed. Props to the US Marine. Nice to see brothers in all walks serving. 1st Cav, US Army myself.
The one gathering that awakened all the pride and admiration I have for my Native American Ancestors. Was raised to be ashamed of my indigenous heritage, and this gathering seen years ago made my heart burst with love of my heritage. This is not just a spectacle, it is an awakening of the spirit.
My grandmother family is Choctaw and Cherokee I love singing in nature I feel thousands ancestors standing by me feeling my heart with unconditional love with our great creator and all the dancers dancing in a spiral represent the spiral of life how everything in nature is spiral
I didn’t expect tears to come to my eyes with the singing and drum beating but they did. I wish I knew some of the words but apparently my heart does. Thank you.
Is this native American culture? no America was created in the name of the Holy Roman Empire Aborigninal culture is Aryan, not semitic. America is not a country
Listening to the heartbeat of the drum stirs my heart! It makes my legs start moving and my body answers and becomes the beat! We are one we are all related!
I have been going to powwows for as long as I can remember since I was little. Iam blackFoot Native American our Culture and songs are beautiful iam proud of my native roots and where I come from .. I highly recommend going to a powwow if you have not

@@Bakedea87 Thanks my brother. That is all I have ever wanted. I have spent time with Lakota in sweat lodge as well as with their medicine men. I've been with Navajo and others. I really miss being with my Native American brothers and sisters and hope I can find a way to get back with them again for good.
I was taught-the drumbeat is the Heartbeat of Mother Earth. If you "feel a connection" THIS IS GOOD!!!! I love taking babies to Pow Wows...they automatically move with the drumbeat.🪶
Being from Panama and having always eaten Tortillas made from boiled and then fried hominy, I am just learning more about the wonders of nixtamalization and how all these native Americans were able to make this maize their staple. Thinking they are now suffering from Diabetes makes sad and hope their ancestors will give them the wisdom to go back to their ancestral diet based on corn, pumpkin, beans, amaranth, peppers and other vegetables. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. I'm not a Native American, but when I look at the types of music invented on this country's soil, as in Rock n Roll, and other fast paced dance music, I personally think they were inspired by the vibrations that Native Americans drummed into the earth over many, many years.

I lived in Knoxville TN and my husband and I were walking around enjoying the day. We came across a powwow I cannot describe the feelings that rushed through me. Pride, love and beauty.

I attended Gathering of Nations once when it was the The Pit at UNM. As someone who grew up with Native American culture all around me, crafting many items, and so much more, the music, the dancing still moves me after 60+ years.

My mother told me when I was little her and my dad took me. I was scared so I would cry guess it scared me LoL. I now love the powwows!
that sounds like an ego

I'm not Native American (in this lifetime) but always feel a connection and love drumming. Very spiritual.
Have you heard young spirit?? They're real good I recommend listening to them. Aho!

After being out of powwow dancing for a couple years it’s beautiful and emotional to be able to hear the songs of my people from years past our songs and traditions live on through generations even after years of oppression seeing the gathering of nations after these years of the pandemic will bring tears to your eyes I hope to be able to get back into dancing at powwows soon to be able to honor my ancestors for anyone who is a reconnecting Native American please go to any powwow you can and indulge in your culture
Thank you for this my cousin. Be well.
Thank you so much for sharing these on UA-cam. Almost feels like I'm there.
And this is only a fraction of the total amount of tribes represented from the Americas still surviving today. Very beautiful to see them freer than before
I stumbled upon this video and I am amazed! There is something very powerful here. Spiritual and beautiful.
This is awesome I thoroughly enjoyed the event and hope to witness it in person one day in the future. Thank you for this.
Goose bumps. All those beautiful displays of heritage. What a buzz.
I’m a Aztec and I still speak my native language, I wish I went to this !
You will. If you want to, you will.
Aztec????? They got extinct hundreds and thousands years ago......... There its virtually impossible to be Aztec. 😊😄I would understand Comanche, Apache, Cherokee, and Lakota. But seriously??? Lol smh
@@MegaLastchild Aztecs people still exist. The indigenous languages that were spoken then still exist. They now called Nahuatl. Look it up. Research it if you don’t believe me. There are various insidious people and languages still in Mexico. You are latino so you should know this. Educate yourself about our roots.
@@MegaLastchild Aztecs are still around, it’s just the Empire that’s gone.
@@coldwar45 son they went extinct a long time ago unless you're talking about spiritually bc it's a known fact there is no more Aztecs if there is they're probably 10% bc that blood line died out I am well educated and know what I'm talking about!
Gathering of the Nations...one day I will attend in person. Glad to see this here on UA-cam!
These are the FIRST and TRUE Americans in USA. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
My highest praise and respect to all of them, from Alaska to Florida. I love you all.
well, not exactly. USA is a roman corporation and did not exist during First Nations
These people are not first and true American they are Mestizos.
The first and true Americans came from East Asia who crossed the Bering Sea Land approximately 35000+ years ago.
Original first and true Native American Indian ancestors came from Siberia, Korea, Japan, and Alaska.
@@uzumate9976 Hence, making them the first Americans to reside in North America lol. Thanks for coming full circle.🤓🤓🤓🤓
There are Native brothers and sisters all throughout this beautiful continent brother.
Many thanks from Germany as long as it still exists
Germany does not exist. Never has. Its another belief in the Holy Roman Empire. Germanic culture is a different story
Are we familiar with Arians at all?

This stirs up the Kalinago🇩🇲 blood in me. Clad to see Natives getting thr recognition they deserve.
Wow! Powow!....
Love it. The music and chanting make it exquisite that the nature flows inside them and they are dissolved in it.
Wow natives.
Loved it. Love 🥰
The sound of drums goes straight to the heart!!!!
@Mark Honey good thank you!!
love the Pow wows, been in OKC and SD, love the culture and their songs, im mexican, but love be one of the few on the pow wow festivals
Love the gorgeous beadwork. Stay connected to the culture forever!
You remind us of the sacred indigenous people of the planet ! Your wisdom is immense and the cosmos thanks you!
I love all of the dances and dancers but the Tiny Tots and Golden Age dancers always grab my heartstrings the most.
Last week had it’s challenges and I am grateful I was able to meet my obligation to help my brother in his time of need. After I had a day to recover, I went out to run some errands and a juvenile eagle landed four feet in front of me on the pavement, looking into my eyes for a few moments before flying off. I couldn’t believe what just happened and it left me in such an emotional state I began to cry. I will never forget this honor I experienced!

It has been several years since I've been to a powwow. I love the healing energy and the inclusiveness.

The beat of the drum; the beat of your heart and the beat of the Earth; yes my heart leaped!
Native Pride World Wide My Brothers & Sisters Much Love From Aboriginal Australia To Different Cultures With the Same Hart
Love and Respect the Aborigines of Australia. From your Native American brother.
Now THAT was the coolest shit I've seen. Doesn't matter what walk of life your from, THAT STUFF makes your feet bounce. Seriously impressed. Props to the US Marine. Nice to see brothers in all walks serving. 1st Cav, US Army myself.
Really a BLESSING to be able to watch these tribes give their best self. I Love it. Thank you for the blessings! AHO!
The one gathering that awakened all the pride and admiration I have for my Native American Ancestors. Was raised to be ashamed of my indigenous heritage, and this gathering seen years ago made my heart burst with love of my heritage. This is not just a spectacle, it is an awakening of the spirit.
My grandmother family is Choctaw and Cherokee I love singing in nature I feel thousands ancestors standing by me feeling my heart with unconditional love with our great creator and all the dancers dancing in a spiral represent the spiral of life how everything in nature is spiral
So beautiful a d uplifting. Thank you a d Love to all nations. May traditions live on forever
I didn’t expect tears to come to my eyes with the singing and drum beating but they did. I wish I knew some of the words but apparently my heart does. Thank you.
This is great! I love native American culture.

Is this native American culture? no
America was created in the name of the Holy Roman Empire
Aborigninal culture is Aryan, not semitic.
America is not a country
@@je-freenorman7787 I love Native American Culture 👍🙌
@@je-freenorman7787 fk outta wit that bs European nicca this place was peaceful until you guys came to this land
Listening to the heartbeat of the drum stirs my heart! It makes my legs start moving and my body answers and becomes the beat! We are one we are all related!
I have been going to powwows for as long as I can remember since I was little. Iam blackFoot Native American our Culture and songs are beautiful iam proud of my native roots and where I come from .. I highly recommend going to a powwow if you have not

I am a native heart. Love you my brothers and sisters.
You are Native heart and soul. You are one us. 😊🤗
@@Bakedea87 Thanks my brother. That is all I have ever wanted. I have spent time with Lakota in sweat lodge as well as with their medicine men. I've been with Navajo and others.
I really miss being with my Native American brothers and sisters and hope I can find a way to get back with them again for good.
Such a powerful gathering, beautiful to see and listen! I wish I could be there on 2023 April!🌟
I was taught-the drumbeat is the Heartbeat of Mother Earth. If you "feel a connection" THIS IS GOOD!!!! I love taking babies to Pow Wows...they automatically move with the drumbeat.🪶
I love the powwow atmosphere I have danced traditional dances in the UK 🇬🇧 but would love to dance in the US
incredible energy of all, the Mother Earth thanks u
I just love listening to Natives sing!!! Watching them dance and listening to the beat of the drums does stir up emotions for me!! ❤️❤️❤️
me, myself and I said so. is that self worship?
You could have ancestors. There's a reason.
My heart beats with the drum! So beautiful.
Being from Panama and having always eaten Tortillas made from boiled and then fried hominy, I am just learning more about the wonders of nixtamalization and how all these native Americans were able to make this maize their staple. Thinking they are now suffering from Diabetes makes sad and hope their ancestors will give them the wisdom to go back to their ancestral diet based on corn, pumpkin, beans, amaranth, peppers and other vegetables. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. I'm not a Native American, but when I look at the types of music invented on this country's soil, as in Rock n Roll, and other fast paced dance music, I personally think they were inspired by the vibrations that Native Americans drummed into the earth over many, many years.

I am only a very small amount Mohawk, my mother was a small amount Iroquoise.
I still appreciate this music and its heart beat.
Very moving music and dance - I love attending our local pow wows here in SD, and I'm not even Native American!
I lived in Knoxville TN and my husband and I were walking around enjoying the day. We came across a powwow I cannot describe the feelings that rushed through me. Pride, love and beauty. They were Cherokee, and my short grandma had some Cherokee and she was from Murphy NC. THE TRAIL of Tears goes through Andrew's and Murphy, NC.

That sounds like it might have been a rape case
I attended Gathering of Nations once when it was the The Pit at UNM. As someone who grew up with Native American culture all around me, crafting many items, and so much more, the music, the dancing still moves me after 60+ years.
I am so glad for you that you meet to powwow and to have so much joy together. It is so important that you have this tradition. God bless you and turn all things better for you. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart.
Sheer pride and beauty! From young to elder, wonderful to see!
I am a native earthling, from Southgermany, Family of the Ruepp. Love to you all, respect and recognizing. ❤
I love how in the introduction each group essentially does the same thing but each put their individual twist on it, so fing cool :))
I'm not native, but I love watching these!
You might be, maybe even in a past life.
@@Bakedea87not sure that thats how race works
@@mishchayt Not sure race has anything to do with it. Some things calls us for many reasons. Some good some bad but it is for us to find out or choose.
