It's so sad right now I'm crying because I'm Native and I should already know everything there is to being Native and I don't and it kills me that us being us is dying out every day 😥
There's no shame in not knowing - unfortunately Europeans did a solid job on their attempt to destroy First Nations' culture and history and religions. That is not your fault, it is the fault of my people. Our generation, as a whole, has the opportunity to learn and grow and preserve what is left - and to instill in our children respect for all that is good and beautiful, especially that which is endangered by the actions of those who came before us.
don't feel bad...there are hundreds of thousands who are native and don't even realize it. i am native but i have no idea which one because those that could tell me, have passed on and they didn't tell my parents or anything like that. the europeans made sure we wouldnt find out. the only thing i can say is Spirit will guide u...it has been guiding me. u just have to listen.
angela carter I was adopted as a baby off the Rez so I know how you feel. I was always told that I’m White Mountain Apache. Trying to unseal my adoption records so I can find out my truth and identity.
Taanishi! I’m sad that so much of our culture has been lost and forgotten. I know so little about my own culture... but I am slowly learning pieces. Thank you for making this video, thank you for keeping tradition alive!
Thank you for this..I’m a 76 year old white woman that has admired the traditions of our native population, and find it heartening that they are being not only kept alive, but celebrated. My belief is that this is SO important to the youth!...knowing their identity and having pride in their heritage. WE could have learned so much in the past, if we had taken the opportunity to embrace our differences and learn from them.
I'm a teenage Irish dancer and I learned this dance to show my young students in Belfast. They loved it - thanks so much for sharing your culture with us!
My daughters are learning this native American dance (they love it) They are ChiChimeca and aztec-hopi from two grandma's on my side of fam. Learning while Corona virus "stayhome" . Native American P.E. @home. CA. N8TV ✊🏾 PRIDE !
My soul sister and I are going to be learning how to dance Powwow for this upcoming season. She and I both had been previously separated from our communities and culture but have found our way back to our traditional ways and hope to pass on these ways to all the future generations as we continue to learn and grow. We are honored to be Native and participate in these traditions.
I am not native american, however, throughly want to learn both jingle and fancy dance. Your lessons help me to at least do basic steps. And, it a good work out for my cardio, i am Elder age person . Thank you so much. Your lessons were great.
I watched this for my husband and mother-in-law, they would love this so much! She had the upbringing but something happened to her father's mother and they lost contact with their tribe over the years. Thank you for this beautiful piece! 💖
Probably through assimilation :( it happens a lot they go to a “school” and erase their tradition and their spirit. Schools like these would say “kill the Indian save the man” it’s disgusting. My grandparents didn’t identify as indigenous because it was shameful to be “Indian” as they’d call it back them and even today where I’m from and where my parents grew up being called “Indian” is a slur
Thank you. I will know how to dance at the intertribal dance at Wildhorse in Oregon this Summer. It is a blessing you teach others. I am 63, but never too old to learn.
or they don't like how she's spreading cultural inaccuracies that particular step was created by Hollywood because the traditional way native dance didn't mesh with music there are actually thousands of different way to dance
Sky Daddy From my observation there are typically no dislikes and pressing thumb down does nothing, unless is unseen but in one's user file. Curious it seems to operate here and for NO good reason I can think of. So much of what we are able to say and do is manipulated. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and will be watching it often. what a great way for anyone to move and have fun doing it. I'd bet most anxious to criticize have some agenda of their own and would never take the trouble to do their own or would be incapable. Sour grapes enhance no one's life, let alone the whiner's. I LOVE sound track used also. ALL FABULOUS!
@@Txmoosetim If that's the case, it says more about them, than the dance. Would be far less petty to just say so. And, with your knowledge, make your own vid to show the TRADITIONAL way then. If you can't dance 'properly', find someone who can.
If you want to be PC, then the name is Dine. I've seen Navajo spelled either way as well. I wonder what it sounds like when you say Navajo because I'm deaf so I don't always get all the verbal word use.
Very informative video! I went to my first powwow last year and participated in some intertribal dances and I really enjoyed it. Tried the two step on the balls of my feet for a few seconds and I REALLY felt it in my calves! I tip my hat to all the dancers. Thank you for sharing!
I grew up with Lakota brothers and family.I'm white but I swear the most beautiful women I've ever seen are the native girls dancing at pow wows with their hair braided and dresses on oh my gawd they are sexy women
may the people who watch see more of these??? I love them, and learned from them. I personally don't know the tribe my grandfather came from, because he was adopted. and I have no other way of learning. Thanks!
Hi from Paris (France) ! Thanks so much for this lesson and for giving me a piece of the Native’s soul!I’d like to come in USA and learn everything about beautiful Native’s Nations!🙏✨💝✨
can you do a tutorial for fancy shawl dance? I live like 10 hours from my reservation and I have no other way of learning and I really want to learn because I used to get small lessons from my grandma and I loved them more than anything. oh and by the way I'm Pawnee.
Wow, so nice! I am not native but I am learning as much as I can about the traditions and beliefs. I would love to learn some dance, this video is amazing and beautiful!! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I loved watching how simple you make the dance steps look. They are not simple if danced correctly for ten to twenty minutes!
I am not an indigenous person but I have been wanting to learn these pow wow steps and the simple ones. I've watched several how to videos on UA-cam and just couldn't get it yours is the first one I watched that I understand and can do it. I also like your advice too people that are just starting as it takes years of practice practice practice because I believe that's true. I am glad that people are allowed to dance now and I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and I'm glad that people are dancing and I hope that palouse will come back around to my area because I love to go and watch them. Thank you so much for your teaching it was very good and I really appreciate it.
my grandma was supposed take me to learn how to dance when I was 8-9 but we lost contact with her now shes passed 16 now and still want to learn but idk how 😐
You are giving us a precious, priceless gift. You will be blessed for your teachings to us. Thank you so much for taking time to share your talents and gifts with us.
Darling that was beautiful. Its so meditative. We had a chance when we went to S Dakota. It brought chill up my body and yes, when we were done, i cried. It felt so freeing.Stay true to your roots-you are a lovely young woman.
This is beautiful. I am a 15yo Native. Though, I was adopted and don’t know much about my culture, and have never been to a powwow. I wish to learn my language, and how to dance. This is extremely helpful. ❤️ keep our culture alive
I hope you are keeping your commitment to yourself to learn your language. My grandmother taught me that first they take your language and then they take the culture.
You make it look so easy! A dear friend of mine is part of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in Belcourt, ND, and with her guidance, my two sons are learning about her culture as part of our homeschool curriculum. They are hands-on learners, and I want them to fully appreciate the thought and care that goes into pow wow dancing - that it’s a traditional celebration with meaning and storytelling. Thank you for showing us steps and explaining the differences between male and female dance postures.
I dance exactly like this in my living blasting tribal music; it’s so beautiful and feels so good! I can’t imagine how moving it would be to attend a Pow Wow, or participate in one. Amazing!
Thanks so much for sharing. I find that most Native Americans are super-protective about their culture and refuse to share it with others. They may be justified in doing that because of the historical abuse they've endured but at the same time, they reject those of us who don't want to abuse but just want to express admiration. Again, thank you SO much for sharing. Your kindness makes me feel accepted and not rejected.
Allways remember that every tribe, nation , and culture has to be shared in order to stay alive. And history shows us that if we do not remember and share our past with others . Especially now !!! If a culture is not shared , it will fade to dust.... Stonehenge , Machu Picchu , Easter Island etc..... But to agree with you. I as well and very happy to see and be part of sharing of Native/tribal cultures. And I hope that I have said nothing of offense but I love what you stated.
thank you so much for this video! it has been years since i learned to fancy shawl dance. i am from the passamaquoddy tribe but i moved into the white man’s world about 10 years ago; sadly, i have forgotten most of my tradition, language, etc. i still attend powwows but am now shy of the fancy shawl dance. i used to love it! this has helped me a lot and given me the confidence to practice on my own. powwow season is coming up!! woliwon (thank you) ❤️
How beyond cool. Looks like a pretty good workout, actually. I love Powwows. It's been way too long since I've been to one. I agree, you are a good teacher. Good video. Thank you very much.
I am Cherokee , And Black foot and my grandmother and grandfather were Native American but everything from being made fun of to being called half breed going to school . Don't the people know that there are a few of us left that still believe in our native traditions .
I've 58 and I've been trying to learn men's traditional for a while and this really helped me. Adassligi Utsati (many blessings- Cherokee) Thank You so much, The Pow Wow Poet
Wow really beautiful. And those moccasins are so pretty! I am part Choctaw but have only been to a couple of Powwows. There are not many that are in my region. I hope to go to more in the future.
This helped my family alot we have been dancing for years and when we seen this video 2 years ago it helped us alot to dance better both jingle and fancy shawl thank you
It warms my heart to see people involved in cultural teachings ,never forget your culture and always pass it down ,especially your language.You are a great teacher .
Thank you for this lesson. It is amazing and watch it ever six months. I love Pow Wows and listen to drum music often even though i"m a Welsh immigrant.
Haha Deann I"m so happy I found this video of you cause I've just decided to start dancing cause my 2 daughters want to learn so I lucked out by finding your video. JessieAnne Blackhawk Gordon
Thank you so much for this 💕 I always feel blessed and honored yo keep learning as a reconnecting Native. Always had a goal of one day dancing at pow wow I’ll get there!
Keep tradition alive.

the one two step was created by Hollywood to better mesh with their music traditionally there are thousands of different ways of dancing and drumming
Let's say you have Christian beliefs...can you still dance pow wow
@@delmarsimpson25 yeah. Unless you're like the one denomination that believes that dancing is a sin. It's a tradition.
You are a great teacher of native dancing it's easy to follow what your teaching thank you ❤

Excellent!!! thank you for sharing America's indigenous culture with the world.😊
It's not like that here. Those cultures are being forgotten. Some of those like this one teach the wrong way.

It could be Canada
@@boogiewitthahoodie5556 It is Canada.
