Over 75% of Native American culture, history was wiped out.
We are a dying race and the first race here and no other race is forward to the fact about it. We have lost more than any other and every protest we have is never given light.
Have you tried working with the black community on this, they are very inclusive I don’t think it’s in the benefit to be solo, theirs powers in numbers. I as a black woman support what you say but I never hear about what’s happening in your communities and I’m just curious if you try to reach out to black people as they are closest you will have to an ally that can understand
@@ms.gordon3802 Thank you Ms.Gordon.
@@ms.gordon3802 ive actually tried that but im scared to. Im 14 and almost all the black people were racist twords me... So id rather not.. I know not all people are like that but it scares me ya know? And the people that were cool with it turned out to be just as bad when i talk about our sturggles... Around a week ago i talked about what its like for us and he got so mad at me and rambled on about how that doesnt matter right now. I guess it never matters. Then when i talk to my white friends all they say is "im sorry" and no further comments but continued our conversation about the blm movement. Im done talking to people lol...
@@chanceelles6506 We are not a dying race! If north American tribes united with Mexican Americans Central Americans and South Americans we would be one of the largest demographics!
@@leefelixsegg2666 Maybe they take it like for the people who say all life matters, it's like their life (the black ones) doesn't matter when you say another race matter, it's like you tell them your problems don't exist. We know that all races matter, yes the Native lives matters. But the BLM movement does awake a lot of people to the struggle of all people of color and I think it will help a lot of Natives as well. We must be present though to show our support and that we exist but not by saying Native lives matters and people thinking we are downplaying the Black cause. They are both important and once people have opened their mind to the Black community problems, it will have also opened their mind for a good part to the Native problems. Natives must be present there and people will then say: "Hey you lived things as well" and will notice us. The BLM movement is somehow the colored people movement but weirdly if you divide those categories now it will weaken the causes. But really we must be there and be noticed by other ways than by the slogan, maybe by our clothes or something.
I'm Native American and I Support African Americans along with my People which are Native Americans
I'm a APACHE native from WHITE MOUNTAIN APACHE TRIBE in ARIZONA. My FATHER and MOTHER taught us to respect all colors, and don't laugh about them. Our Grandfather in the sky, created us all one. So we do say Brother's and Sister's to different colors. In my families flesh and blood, we got Apache, Navajo, Black, White, and Mexican's and get along. Big family, one sister married a black man, and we love him very much. No matter what skin color you have, we are one. And I love you all. GOD BLESS. ❤️🛐🙏✝️❤️.....
We love you too family. Btw I am Acrican American and Cherokee.

Indigenous Live Matters As Well
@John Brennan you think your funny
@John Brennan Read Acts 17:26. God ordained NDNs 2 B n America 1st. ("from 1 man God made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; & he marked out their appointed times n history & the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him"). NDN traveled through Siberia but God didn't make NDNs stay . He intended NDNs 2 Be the 1st ppl in America so NDNs would seek Him & find Him. read the scriptures.
@John Brennan Ppl have fallen away from God & don't know scripture, but everything is done according 2 the will of God. God marked america 4r NDNs 4 a reason & he lead Europeans 2 meet NDNs 4 the 1st time 4 a reason, & its wasn't 2 kill NDNs off, but 2 pave the way 4 the good News that Jesus died 4 the sins of the world. God wanted NDNs 2 live with him n Heaven. Read Acts 17:30 ("In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all ppl everywhere 2 repent"). All races everywhere are to repent.
Black try to be be us and they think we want to be them and the black People say stuff to us bad things and they think I would help them no and they say there is no this is white washing siting under the white men
Torre Person no see you black people are trying to take culture and dances songs just because you don't what to be black stop trying to take our culture like the whites
yes Native lives matter.

MR_ROBLOX well if you have been to a Reservation before you may notice that there are native families in poverty and it sucks
Who said they didn’t? Your mindset is that immature that u had to make that statement? U sound no different from white people
Yah (God) said in Jeremiah 12:14-15 that after he deals with the nations that have scattered his ppl true, Israel "and" Judah he will return them to their inheritance and every "man" to "his land". So the Native Americans will one day regain their land-their inheritance back by TMH.

I support black and native Americans ❤❤❤ peace and love to both groups
I agree we should support native Americans
Cringe
@serenity4ever2010 To go further Blacks should stop hating on Asians. The covid was developed in Canada & sent to China so the rich can blame it on the Chinese. Thats what the rumor was when covid first came out. this is a plan by the rich elite to curb the population.
@@stormy-le6pb I support African Americans and native Americans. I didn't say anything about hating other groups.
@@stormy-le6pb developed in canada? If there's proof that it's even made, than it's china that made it. You people are very lacking in terms of intelligence if you want to victimize every one else because they are "people of color". Absolutely pathetic and sad.
I feel bad for Native Americans and Aboriginals. Do they feel like foreigners on their own native land? I've seen people proudly degrade them in comment section. There's also this double standard where for example, a native Asian is a British citizen, they are not considered British but when a native European is a US citizen, they are considered full American
You are mistaken, someone born in Europe and living in the US is not considered (full) American as you call it. Any nationality has to go through the process applying for and passing, citizenship or Naturalization. Where you live is not your nationality, the country of your nativity (birth) is your nationality until you are legally granted citizenship in another country. That means you are entitled to a passport in your new country as well.
@@cindycreateforlife Not true, europeans are treated like full Americans, even with an accent as long as they are european they get no flack over existing.
I love how the lady opens up with so much grave and making the point to say what she said thats such a beautiful moment that she said basically although there is native struggles she decided to uplift the black community
Black Lives Matter. isn’t saying other lives don’t matter. Of course other lives matter. Black Lives Matter is saying Black Lives Matter too. Everyone need to work together. To makes lives better, for everyone. We are all connected. I love seeing people working together.
Yes but it's kinda cringe when u see people from other countries joining it...especially countries like india where things like this happens everyday

As a Native, when you stop the victim mentality and stop putting anxiety like oh you're x so you must be y and you should z. Because you victimize someone, the 'oppressor' would only feel more powerful and do more than the 'victims' stuck with anxiety.
When he said "Black relatives," that means us Black/African and Native/Indigenous people are family. We were here in the beginning of time and still be here until the end of time.
No you wont
In the Americas? No your ancestors came much later. But why does that matter?
I as a black man that was born in Jamaica stand with you our Native American brothers and sisters!
webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/american
Here is my question to you my Jamaican brother. Do you stand with your black brothers from America? The reason why I ask is because you are a blood relative to black Americans who was here before everyone. In fact 300 thousand blacks was took from the Gold Coast of America- south and North Carolina. To Jamaica after the war by the English. Most Jamaican think the Gold Coast there from is Africa. It was America. Look at the splendor that these brothers had in America. There’s a picture showing the war that took place in America. It was no so called natives there tho. Just your black American brethren. That is if you can handle that.

Also I know black people are the first on this earth and some of us migrated thousands of years ago to different part of the world make that millions of years ago. The original Native Americans are also black so yea I know my history I ain’t dumb. I only commented on that video because it was about natives and what they’re going through and what the black community was going through as well. That’s why I said what I said.
@@anthonyjohnson5961 many slaves were taken to Jamaica from Senegal. Some Indians were sent to the islands and some enslaved Africans and “negros de Guine” were brought to America. Nobody seems to talk about the wights in “servitude” that ran away to join the Indian tribes or those that married into tribes for benefits. Where are their descendants now? Oh, they are the Natives.
@@anthonyjohnson5961 I mean we all came from Africa if you go back enough. By that logic we're all black.

I’m a white man from England I completely agree with the indigenous side and think it was horrible what happened now and in the past I stand with them and anyone who has experienced such racism
Thanks for your support from the yavapa apache..
European colonization is the root of all racist ideology in the US. Manipulation had Black people (Buffalo soldiers) against Natives...Natives against Black people(5 Civilized). There are many Black Indians I know who had a hard time growing up in Native Nations and I knew Natives who went to predominantly Black schools in the DC area and moved after a year or so cause of how hard Black people were to them. We should be focusing, healing and working together. Black people fight super hard since slavery to now to get our voices heard. I am married to an Indigenous woman and I am
learning the struggle of natives as an adult. Hell I didn’t even know Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean and East Coast were slaves until a few months ago. Keep fighting, no matter what. Black people and Natives are both owed a lot from the U.S government.
Have you ever heard of the Seminole War
Hardworkin T, Your historical account of Buffalo Soldiers is correct and it should be equally noted that the same European Colonization Manipulation caused Natives to turn against Natives. Chief Sitting Bull was killed by his friend and Native of the Indian Police.
The Indian police trained and commissioned by the Whites did the dirty work so, to speak to many Native Nations.
Liberation for all Aboriginal Natives of this land is to realize
Our ancestors had one common enemy and it wasn't one another.

@Dizzy Chicko it’s not that we prefer it , they forced it on us . They destroyed our sense of culture and aboriginal pride . They mixed with us and made us feel ashamed of half of us since childhood . Still we managed to keep a lot of aspects of our culture and integrated it to the practices of the new society . Many of us are proud of our aboriginal ancestors . So no sir , not everything is lost for us .
all natives from north and south america had to have relations
@Dizzy Chicko damn bro chill it was not their decision
We need to work together. Indigenous people have land (not a lot but more than Black people) and there are plenty of Black people with a lot of money. We need to come together and build up that land into something that’s second to none. I’m sure we could live together peacefully.
As a real-estate developer I tried this years ago and the one thing I noticed is that when some blacks get money and fame they want to move into whitle communities because it makes them feel like they have me it in this country. Most of them are not interested in building our own communities. My family did develope a decent balck community in Lawnside, NJ but eventually I moved out because the local leaders were jealous of their own people. I would rather be native American and have a culture that i could appreciate.
That’ll never happen… look into the Dawes Rolls. And the five dollar fee for Indian Registration that Chinese men and White people paid to be legally registered to a tribe, own land, etc., is where the term “5 Dollar Indian” comes from. White people don’t have any Asian DNA unless they have a direct Asian ancestor; the same is true for Natives. The Bering Straight ice bridge theory is 10-15,000 years before the first Europeans crossed the Caucuses…
As Black woman I support Native lives matter too.
The way I see it is, everybody on Twitter (for example) is profiting from the slavery and mass genocide of Natives, none of them seem to realise how blessed they are and the sacrifice that has taken place for them to squabble over petty grievances.
Stay safe.
Yours sincerely,

Natives and blacks have both been oppressed, natives wiped out to almost exstinction, and blacks forcefully taken from their homeland and experience slavery and the stripping of their original cultures. Your impincation of still, this is native land plays into the oppression olympics were minorities feel the need to one up each other on who’s issues need to be addressed.

If it’s a black community, why are they in the same place as other people.
As a tribal member we were raised to live in the present, and not celebrate victim- hood. Life really is what you make it.
Speaking out on injustice and police brutality and trying to make changes in the justice system that does not work for anyone of color. Keeping your head down and saying nothing allows them continue.
How would you be celebrating victim-hood? I think that is more eurocentric programming used to shame the victim into silence. Who is benefitting from your silence? How is life what you make it when what you attempt to make is constantly being destroyed or taken away from you until all your hope and dignity is shattered. How does anything change if the oppressor is allowed to assign who is a victim and who is not? When did becoming a victim become a dirty word? How do you live in the present when nothing has changed?
@Michael, I get what you're saying. We're raised knowing our history thanks to our elders, but at the same time you don't let it define you.
In native american warrior societies. Forgiving was a thing that got in the way of justice... I don't see any cops forgiving criminals for their crimes. Where's your spine!
This video showed up in my feed and I’m happy that it did. I lived in New Mexico for a short time and loved it there; also loved my exposure to the Indigenous population. Thank you for your support! You just gained a new subscriber.

It is too bad that many Hispanics, Whites, And Blacks take advantage of Indigenous hospitality
@@matthewmann8969 How do blacks take advantage?
Black people from America are Native American that’s what people don’t understand the natives of today are moxed already but native Americans ranged from black black to what they look like today
My indigenous brothers and sisters have been long forgotten, we should be remembered and shown that we are still here and alive and that we need to have the native women and children protected. Never let the fire die out.
As a white man who grew up in the ghetto and also on and near reservations I can honestly say ??????? TF
@Fat Daddy Its that age old sin rearing its ugly head as usual. "For the love of money is the root to all kinds of Evil." It that same ole envy that causes ppl 2 sin against Gods commandment, Do Not Covet anything, things, property or possessions that belong 2 UR neighbor, but as usual, many don't heed the warning 4 that sin which is the 2nd death N hell.
Black Canadian family here. We also stand in support for our native brothers and sisters here and in America.
Where was the native lives protest ??? It’s a genuine question
I empathize with the history of your people, I sincerely do, however if you're going to ask where the native protests were you need to ask the native people. Without black people standing up for ourselves the BLM movement wouldnt exist. There are millions of Native people in this country. Why are y'all not protesting through way BLM is? Or maybe there is another issue preventing the non native public from being exposed to your fight for justice. Please educate us instead of being jealous. We can help each other. It'd time for these white people to understand that they cant shit all over us because our skin is dark and we don't subscribe to their culture.
Maybe y’all need to stand up and speak out instead of commenting on UA-cam 😂. Y’all are getting mad with us, when we’re not the issue. What y’all don’t know is that black people are native to America as well. But your ignorance and hate blinds you. Do your own protest. Why do you people need US to protest for y’all. Let me answer. YOUR PEOPLE ARE NOT AS STRONG AS YOU THINK!
@@blkmerican-.2934 for real though😂
@@blkmerican-.2934 THANK YOU!! You notice their hate and frustration always swings around to us. I wonder where all of these groups were back when we were getting hosed, bitten by dogs and strung up in trees (just to name a few things). They just sit around waiting for us to do something and then want to piggy back.
@@nicoleervin4352 What do you mean "back when." All that shit is STILL happening to us today!
I stand with natives only. 12 million of Natives got slaughtered for their land ,but that's okay somehow
People were people good ones and greedy ones
It was called ... COLONIZATION..IMPERLIST
Natives had slaves too.
@@marcossealey8612 Alright..I'm part TUSCARORA NATION what's left of us.
Slaves such as african or european or indigenous
that's the way it was at that time period in history.
Man makes slaves out of each other
And by a very generous estimate- 17 mill Blacks died in the transatlantic slave trade alone,, and i am not counting the Jim Crow Era.
As a black man I respect, love and cherish Native Americans and this beautiful land and both of our races have been oppressed for years, this land is yours and I respect that but they brought us over here and they're treating us like shit
Finally a black person in these comments who isnt overdosing on meth saying black people are the real natives.
@@yokez Black people are NOT the real natives, the natives are the real natives.
Also many black people don't know they have native American Indian blood, just like European blood.
Many of us DO know that we have native blood. Especially on the east coast. Ppl think the indigenous were wiped out, but they mixed in. Many native Americans dont know or dont acknowledge that they r more modernly mixed with Asian immigrants as well. But that's neither here nor there.
When I have told some native American people that I have native blood they have said " oh all black ppl think that" or " it's probably just legend" or " it's probably so small it doesnt count"
I know my ancestor and they r bothered by the way people, people that should know the history, dismiss them. But they live through me, regardless.
@Tomicaa there were almost 600 different tribes here in America (USA). The slace ownership was very isolated events. Some of them owned native black mixed slaves, that belonged to rival tribes.. many tribes split because there were groups that mixed with the Europeans and ones that refuse to mix. The mixed ones were considered native for convience and manipulation. Often it was the mixed native euro ones that betrayed their people and acted against certain moral codes.
@MAX- AMILLION GONZALEZ cultural aspects like what, exactly? What "name" did native Americans give to "African Americans"? I am "African American" and I have NEVER met ONE African American person that does not acknowledge thier native American ancestry. Every single African American I have ever met in my life is proud to say that they have native ancestry, including me. I am proud of all of my ancestry, tbh. On the other hand, I have met several native Americans that do not acknowledge "African Americans" as legitimate descendants. Even though many modern natives also have mixed ancestry.
@MAX- AMILLION GONZALEZ the only African American ppl that I've met, that dont speak of native ancestry r the ones who's family has come directly from the African continent in 2- 3 generations. Just to clarify.
@MAX- AMILLION GONZALEZ oh lol. So ur changing the subject now. I've heard yt ppl say the same thing. But if ur only talking to ppl that dont know or understand history / the combination that created modern times... then ur just looking to be upset. And if ur native why would u claim being Hispanic? Because u speak Spanish? I dont call myself English. Just asking
Past history was cruel to the world. Think of Rome and their empire that took over a vast amount of land. Think of Britain colonizing India and their empire. NO COUNTRY IS WITHOUT SIN. Unfortunately we all now have to live with the repercussions. What we can do now is learn from our mistakes and keeping culture alive
Well that's the human nature for you.
Again our brown brothers and sisters are uplifting and standing with their black brothers and sisters. People often forget the shelter and open arms that were given to run away slaves. Thank you for your continued love.
Yeah hard to remember considering some tribes held and sold slaves
Honestly, I do not want to boast, but I am a living example, that true Love is colour blind. I am mixed of a Caucasian/German mother and Native/Afro American father. I was raised, not to judge a book by it's cover and to be tolerant towards different Cultures and Beleives. Our granny was a Katholic, our grandfather was a Protestant... Back in World War Two... Both where almost gassed, for not being pro Hitler and had to run. My siblings and I learned about ALL of our backgrounds. I was very lucky to be born and raised in Europe, where things are a bit better and different. Racists are every where and come in different shapes and sizes. I learned Racism through Kindergarden/School/Jobs and daily life.But we all come from ONE source and HE/SHE/IT made us to their likeing. So I do beleive, that this is, what WE should focus on. Be save, prosper and proud.
You are so blessed! Thank you for bringing some balance into the mix!
I am a federally recognized Native American female. My tribe was the first to walk the trail of tears from Mississippi to Oklahoma in 1831. We lost many of our relatives during the deadly winter walk. One of the coldest winters of that time. I went to a gathering when my chief was visiting my area a few years ago. When the group that came with our chief walked into the room, I could feel my ancestors walking beside them. It was ominous. Even my husband could feel the spirits of my tribe within the space. We felt their joy and sadness. Today in their honor, I love all people and all natural things as much as I am able to love. My ancestors had a wisdom about life and how to live it with love. This is unknown to the Native Americans that went the civilized mans ways. Trees make me happy. A stream of water is beautiful to me. A bird brings me joy. I know that the only way to shift the unfairness and atrocities in this world is with compassion, understanding and love. I dream of the day, all people will live in harmony. It may not be in my life time as I am older. It would be a treat to witness brotherly and sisterly love throughout the world before I leave my body. Miracles do happen.
Most of Native Americans (north & south) are now Christian or are floundering because they feel lost. Christianity does not resonate with me and I do not judge my brothers and sisters who choose this path. But for those that are floundering, I feel nature is their church. I do admit I love Jesus Christ deeply and appreciated his teachings to enlighten the human species. However, I choose to follow natural laws as my ancestors did which is what the Great Spirit encouraged to all of his people. The natives understood how to nurture nature and live cohesively with it. Now, I will share with you something that many of our native ancestors were unable to teach their children due to the white mans interference. They took the native children from their parents and taught them another language. They punished them if they spoke their native tongue. They taught them how to live the way of the white man and told them their culture was inferior and as a result, this killed their native culture. Due to the language barrier, this knowledge could not be passed onto to their children. In fact, many of these children became estranged from their parents. The missing part of our historic culture is that the natives of this planet had friends that lived inside the earth. They still exist, however I feel most of them have left due to the continued destruction of the planet. I send those who remain, my many thanks for their continual work to heal this planet and I feel them acknowledge me. They are known in the English language as Gnomes. And no, they do not look like the cone capped midgets our world depicts them as. They are much like you and me. You would probably never know you met one if you saw them in nature. Their job is to be stewards of planets and are responsible for all that grows be it on land or in the water. They nurture the air, the water, the earth, fire and the mineral kingdom. Our ancestors learned that a planet is a living being, hence Mother Earth. They learned how to take care of it and they did so along side the Gnomes. I do not care if you believe me or not. I only write this so that those who resonate with it, understand the importance of taking care of this world and that emotions and thoughts are very powerful. They can form into things good and bad. YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS take control of them. It is very important that we stay out of the negative and in the positive. My dear native brothers and sisters, this information is somewhere in your genetic history. Try to remember. There is more to this world than humans and I pray that harmony will be here soon. Be compassionate, kind and loving to all things. Including those who you feel may not deserve it. There's a saying and it is, "Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins". Being in a high vibrational frequency is what will help this planet heal and those who live on it. My native brothers and sisters, I empathize with the struggles that you may encounter. Let's look to a positive future. To all who wish to heal the earth and yourselves, no alcohol or drugs. Native American are destroyed by them. It is something I have witnessed time and again. Even in my own family. Eat as much fresh foods as possible. Give thanks to all those foods that gave their lives for your sustenance as our ancestors did. Stay in a healthy positive mindset. And if you acknowledge the Great Spirit as your your leader, pray to him letting him know this. I know he will surround you with his love as he loves his people very much. I once heard him cry for us. It was unsettling because I felt as helpless as he does. Our culture has forgotten him and he sees so many of his people struggling. I believe the Natives of this planet are vital to it's healing. And it will heal as you do. One of the ways is, we must stop living in the past. Unfortunately, the humans of this planet put too much attention on skin color/race. We are spirits living in bodies. Color/race doesn't matter. All spirit lives matter. Love matters, compassion matters, this earth matters, and so on. Let's do what our ancestors were taught and take care of our home. Learn what ever you can to help you achieve this mindset. There are a lot of techniques on the internet that you can research. The law of attraction is a great place to start.Teach those who are willing to participate. Invoke some of our native traditions that are energy lifting. Give thanks to the elements. When the winds become hateful, we must acknowledge their pain and anger to calm them. When the rains are needed, we lovingly acknowledge and ask the water spirits to bless us with their gifts. This is what we did. I once lived in Florida. When the winds would pickup , I would sing a sweet melody to them and I told them I am sorry and that I understand why they are angry. And I asked them to forgive us. Our air is filthy and they are angry with us because of it. Where I lived, we never experienced any destruction. I cannot say that for other areas in the state. In closing, question everything, including me. And if you find something that doesn't come from total love, then only retain that which is loving to you. Also, there is a great book that I think will help all peoples to understand natural law. It's called A Journey Into Nature. A Spiritual Adventure, by Michael Roads. Pan, who is a Gnome is written about in the book. Chi hollo li (Choctaw for I love you)!
Amazing post. Thank you for writing this . Peace brother
Dc ThreeTwo Yes, registered. That’s what the white mans government requires of tribal members in our own country in order to have certain rights. Maybe a better way to say it is, federally recognized Native American. However, I realize there are many people in the North American continent that have Native American blood and are not acknowledged as so. I am not sure about your comment, wtf. I mean, I know the acronym. I am not sure as to the context. Well wishes to you.
Dc ThreeTwo I agree. When those of my family arrived at the destination, they were given a number. This number is handed down to all of my great great grandmothers offsprings. It wasn’t, enough that my tribes, families lost all of their processions and many died along the way. When they got to Oklahoma, If they declared 50% or more Indian blood, the white man could take control of their estate. Needless to say, the majority of the survivors did not declare their true percentage of Indian blood. Which means my family’s degree of blood is skewed. We have done a family tree and know our true degree of blood. Which is significantly more than what the government has recorded. And this I can say is true for all tribal members in North America.
@keepitmoving I have to state that I know nothing for certain, and since there is no proof of this claim, we only have our beliefs. My personal belief is that it is not truth. I say this because I have been given knowledge that I trust and it supports a different history. I will also say that based on this knowledge, the Black race is NOT the original race of this planet. The original race was the Amazons (they were not black skinned people). However, from what I have been given, it's the North and South American Natives, that are the longest lived on the earth. Science is not precise and it does not account for our planets past history that is undocumented for millions of years. The big question is why do we have so many different races? How is this possible? I have my belief and it is out of this world in kind. I do feel very strongly that native cultures, be it the Aboriginals of Australia, the Black African Natives, Asian Natives or the North and South American Natives, all had one thing in common. They lived in loving harmony with nature because they were given profound knowledge and understood natural law. Their ancient lifestyles and traditions are rejected in today's world and a lot of these people feel lost with no purpose in life. There are no more ancestors to teach them what they need to know about their race and the truth of what they are, which in my opinion is equal to the Gnomes. Now, I want to ask you about what your thoughts are regarding our purpose as a human being. I believe it is to love and nurture our home (Earth) and continually, positively evolve while respecting all life form.
@keepitmoving The cycle of life does need to keep moving and we all need to be responsible with the cycle. Meaning we should not over populate. Our planets resources are finite and we need to consider this in all things that we do. We want the future generations to be able to live well but not excessively. Taking more than the earth has to give will ultimately destroy our home. This is what our native ancestors knew and why they lived a simple life. I too am stumped with what the African Americans want to be called. After all, they are Americans. I have Irish blood in me. Does that make me an Irish Native American? No, I am an American. And so are my ancestors. I just happen to have Irish in my family because my Indian great grandmother married an Irishman. I understand the black races concerns and their struggle for their rights. The Native American culture is still struggling with the loss they have experienced. The fact is this world has known human trafficking for thousands of years. The Egyptians enslaved the Jews. The Vikings raided European villages and made lots of money selling people. Not to mention what happened to the North American Natives. And don't get me started on what Columbus did to the South American Natives. Columbus day should be outlawed. Lucky for me, two of my dearest friends are black skinned and have no desire to be a part of this Black Lives Matter movement. They are evolved enough to see that the power behind this is trying to divide us as a country.
I ask you to see this as well, and to love all the American people no matter their differences. I wish that they could also see what I and my friends see. United we stand, divided we fall. As a country if we could accept each other for what we are and what we are not, we would be invincible and the power behind the separation tactic knows this. So always try to see between the lines, and you will see truth. Because we live in a world where truth is mixed with lie. And usually the lie is right smack dab in front of you. Never take what you read or hear at face value. You will start to see things as they truly are.
Did you guys know that Native American enslved black people and refused to give them up
Thank you for being an Ally and asking how to help. Every Ally for any cause is Appreciated for that respect!!!
Red people are so few that they should protect themselves whether supporting anything or not. Support your survival first before fighting in the name of others. Make sure whatever you support that it never turns to a danger that traps you into being unable to protect yourselves
Black America has always loved Native America. Black and Native have the same struggle!! Every time Blacks have to fight for equality?
They NEVER LET ANYONE forget about what the Native Americans went through. Now its time for Native Americans to SPEAK UP AND BE HEARD!!!
They have been TOO QUIET for TOO LONG!!! But..... take into account this one important thing!!!
THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY AND JUSTICE MUCH LONGER ..... AND PAID THE HIGHEST PRICE!
Along the trail of tears ..... You will find strange fruit. WE SHALL STAND TOGETHER. If we go crazy in this struggle? Well just have to go Crazy TOGETHER!!!
life does not have a color. Look up words you don't know like 'native' I was born here also, I am a native. stop all the separating and in fighting and we all would benefit.
You should say it twice so they can hear you
I stand with all my people of color.
Whites need not join in your stance...darn them.
Ignoring the Native American is not by accident but a colonialist policy. The government knows American is not Africa its Indigenous America. So this issue must be censored because to recognize it as such, it must recognize the whole continent is under colonialism as was Asia and Africa yesterday.
If so called Black people, so called Hispanic people, and so called Native people only knew we are Gods chosen and come together, and get back to keeping Gods commandments, then we can actually get somewhere.
First Nations children were abused, killed and raped in christian residential schools. They have their own powerful belief systems bringing more christianity into the mix is counterproductive.
@@leahw0patterson82 I never said anything about Christianity. You might wanna take some time to study.
My heart hurts at how humans treat each other due to something as silly as skin colour/ethnicity. We all need to stand together against these brutalities.
Yes. I condone this notion of yours, as I am sick of everyone bringing each other done for the stupidest of reasons. I believe that it is up to us (whether you come from a different culture, descent, country, etc, it makes no difference) to begin lifting each other up by the hand, helping other communities to get back on their feet, and overall just spread love and support to many of our fellow human beings. Not everyone will support this that is pretty obvious, but we need to not focus out attention on those people and focus it on those that do want to become a part of this.

It is sad, but true, that all original people anywhere on earth will eventually lose their culture, and what remains is but a dim shadow of what was.
The tribes of Europe, hundreds of them, are forever gone along with their culture and unique languages.
Within a hundred years the idea of "original people" will only be an historical footnote as it is among Europeans.
You can try to hold on, but change is inevitable, relentless, and unstoppable.
Thank you native friends, I'm a black woman, that appreciates you standing by us and we should support you, and I'm sure we will!!!
Shouldn't it be you standing by Native Americans who were here first? Why does it have to be Native Americans standing by black people instead of black people standing by Native Americans, whose homes were literally obliterated and they were almost wiped out so that white Europeans and their black slaves could come over and live here? Black people can pretty much do anything they want now, why are you still acting like you are victims? You own the media and get all of the attention you want when something happens to just one of you, the world responds. Have you seen the conditions of the Native American reservations, have you even cared to look up Pine Ridge in South Dakota or the Navajo reservation in Arizona, where they don't even have running water? While black and white people have been fighting for decades against each other there are other minority groups that just get completely ignored. It's all about I'm black or I'm white, while the rest of us who live in this country have to suffer from your constant fucking race war! Blacks and whites should bowing to Native Americans and thanking them for the land they live on now!
@@DMWolFGurL and native people can pretty much do anything they want now, like support other minority groups, which the natives in the video have no problem doing. Oppression olympics is a pretty disruptive thing because just because others suffer different types of oppression doesn’t mean what other mini are going through is invalid or should be ignored. Asians have a spike of hate crimes against then since covid, and people are starting to address anti Asian racism in the US, but since they weren’t obliterated and faced massacres by your analysis we should just simply ignore it, black people currently facing systemic repercussions from the school to prison pipeline, gentrification and displacement, the 1994 crime bill, affects of redlining, who never got reparations contributing to the economic generational/racial wealth gap, people shouldn’t speak about their issues because of native oppression and Asians, can’t speak about their issues because of black oppression, and latinos can’t speak about the xenophobia they face because they can do anything they want and Asians have it worse. You sound goofy, discrimination isn’t a monolith and nobody has to stop talking about the discrimination and systemic issues that are happening within their communities. When you do oppression olympic semantics it literally reaches no end goal for collective liberation,but you’ve made it evidently clear you don’t care about other minorities forms of oppression
@@DMWolFGurL natives aren't gods also African Americans were forced by will to comes to the americas it wasn't out of choice. that's why appreciate native Americans who stand by us with our cause the same we would for natives. both groups were oppressed and abused which is something we have in common. we should stand united and not against each other because we've both gotten the shitter side of the stick.
@@tayswur1d452 I totally agree! As a black woman I agree when he says Native Americans aren't appreciated the way they should be and its like people tried to completely write them off!! But we didn't come here as partners with them with the white man I'm sure my ancestors would have preferred to stay home! We should stand and support our brothers more but we're definitely not the enemy actually we're completely the opposite we're family I just wish we all knew it!!🙌🙏
Many Native Americans would B hypocrites if they hated the White man cuz many Native Americans are part White. There are more mixed-blood natives than there are full-bloods. From what I read, all A.A.'s have on average 10-24% European DNA. Floyd had a white woman as his girlfriend too.
As a black man, I have always considered the Native American people to be my brothers and sisters. Unfortunately a lot of my people do not even realize that a large majority of our ancestors were indigenous people, because these things are not being taught in our schools. I love what you guys are doing and together we must stand. Thank you.
@Wyeil Arbukle explain...
@Wyeil Arbukle I guess my point is that through me researching some things on my own, I found out that all black in America during that period were not captured in Africa and brought over here on slave ships. Some were already here, and were considered to be Indians. This is something that is not being taught in our schools.
@Wyeil Arbukle I understand. But being called a native American is nothing to be offended about, no more than being called an African American. We had similar struggles during those days, which means we had a common enemy. I believe in concentrating on similarities are more important than concentrating on the differences, because that will make us stronger. Because as far as white supremacists are concerned, African Americans and Native Americans are the same. Minorities are stronger working together than trying to create yet another divide. As far as I am concerned, Native Americans are our brothers and sisters.
@Wyeil Arbukle interesting. Enlighten me. What is the difference between a Native American and an Indian.
@@williewhite1161 My family still owns land in Missippi Louisiana Georgia and Illinois. We are tan and brown skin with wavy and curlier hair. We consider ourselves as Black and Native American due to admixture, slaughter, and ignorant information spread to majority of the population. Don’t ever let the stupid and ignorant get to you.
...so much for just being a plain ol' proud American.
I really appreciate and am motivated by this. This is what it looks and feels like to have allies and I hope we are able to build together. One thing I will say. The term "people of color" hurts both of our communities in the long run because it lumps us all in one category and also allows people to co-opt your lineage. Native Americans have endured and endure very specific struggles, have a very specific lineage, and have made very specific contributions to this stolen land that no immigrant community or even my community (American descendants of slavery) have a right to hold claim to. Just as Black American descendants of slavery have a very specific lineage/history, struggles, and contributions, and claim (reparations for slavery, mass incarceration, redlining, and Jim Crow) that no other group can lay claim to. I say this because my community has experienced first hand other "people of color" that migrate to this country, benefit from resources/programs/culture of ours while rejecting/discriminating against Black American descendants of slavery and aligning themselves with whiteness (i.e MANY Latinos that came into this country, over 50% identifying as white as one point when they migrated here, Asian business owners in our neighborhoods that discriminate against/follow us/unrightfully call the police on/attack/kill us or African immigrants who have a history of discriminating against our people while accessing many scholarships or programs created specifically for us). This is my first time actually hearing Native Americans use the term "people of color". Don't want your community to fall for the same allusion of inclusion that we fell for. Also, white women are now considered "minorities". Imagine that.lol
This is very good!
EXACTLY!!! Don't fall for the POC Trick. Some will act like your allies then vote for a bigot. We just experienced this recently.
NEVER FORGET!!
Exactly. There is overlap in our struggles but also things that are unique to each group. Both should be acknowledged.

so much of my native sister gone missing and still no justice or see the whole world be side china who shows we matter
When he talked about how natives are suffering from the riots, it reminded me of the stories my elders told me about the buffalo soldiers and what they did to our people
True as we are all suffering
Damn it feels good to be a gangster
Cohatus Ballinger what the hell no one should be justified in doing what the Buffalo people did, just like no one should be justified in what the Europeans did
Instead of focusing on what some of our communities did to each other imagine how far we could go by banding together and creating change. Natives have the highest percentage of deaths by police. We have the same concerns.
U have to blame the us government for that. They turned us against each other. Please research and don’t make it as if they were out to just kill natives
I am glad to have watched this video, there is so much pain and truth, concern and feelings of neglect and disrespect here. I took the time to read many of the posts, even though I didn't need to to feel the emotions. The indigenous people of north america indeed have suffered far more than any other race of people now living here. ALL life matters, and as soon as mankind in general realizes that fact, the world can be become better, but as long as ANY individual group deems itself superior to any other by reason of skin color, stature, religious belief, sexual orientation, or for that matter physical size, strength or perceived level of knowledge, the same violence and persecution that has gone on since the beginning of time will continue. My fear is that we won't learn to live together and our privilege to exist here will in time be revoked! I pray that all my find joy, peace and love in their lives
Please maintain Native American cultures.
I think it is funny how we talk about oh I am opressed more and no I'm opressed more.
When all we need to do is accept each other. I am white and I absolutely love learning about other cultures and I take my time to listen. Race is just another world for culture. It is not the color that is making us fight it is the lack of understanding another culture. And respecting it even if you do not understand.
Do onto others as you would have done onto yourself!☺ My favorite quote to live by.💖

@Num Num see this is the problem when someone tries to say something nice people bad mouth you. There is no winning on either side here. I just said something nice and you attacked me. I don't see how you think that is okay to do that.
@@animalkingdom2871 Yeah...Num Num is a bit of a racist, you'd be wasting your time. I've gone through a lot of the comments, the hypocrisy of some of the "native Americans" is pathetic. The one's I speak of, shouldn't refer to themselves as Americans, they haven't a clue to what an American is. They speak of "their" land being taken from them, never was just there land. There ancestors are guilty, as all races in history, of taking land from others. What a bunch of selfrighteous hypocrites, there a descrace to there ancestors, and are the ones destroying there culture. This applies to all color and races of people. NUM NUM...your just a pussy but you can change that. Get off your ancestors back, stop sniveling about the past. We all know the atrocities your people were subjected to. There were many others, all colors, races thousands of years before your great great great grandfather, who suffered more.
Jeez...sorry I'll stop now.
Crazy Art...sorry I vented, I'm just tired of the bullshit .

In Tulsa Oklahoma b4 the massacre in 1921, Blacks and natives were marrying living dying and being buried together as families when it was a territory, blacks weren't able to acquire land in the states, so they went to indian territories and flourished, until it became a state, and we all know the rest of the story!!!🤔🙏✌

Hmmm🤔I stumbled across this and it’s very interesting an I appreciate it, and all of y’all are in my thoughts💭and prayers 🙏🏼and thank you for this video🤝💯🤛🏼
I'm black and native American and seeing the changes, forward progression, eyes & ears and attention to the cruel and evil bigotry many of us of African ancestry have dealt with and still do. But it used to discourage me to feel like those of us who are of native American ancestry didn't have a voice akin to other mistreated ethnicities. It almost felt a little worse. Like we were like ghosts, not seen, not heard, not noticed much at all. I used to wrack my mind trying to think what me must do to be seen and heard as much as our other mistreated siblings of other ethnicities. I'm 29, my wife is also black and native American and we've known each other since we were 8, became teen parents at 15. And most ppl my wife &/or I share with others the bigotry and prejudice we've experienced, they're literally shocked that we went through that, and the things these wicked & heartless individuals have said to us. And have even done &/or said to us in front of our children. AND what they have said &/or done TO our children. Being mocked, disrespected, mistreated, heckled, harrassed, picked on/making us & our history the fodder for mean, insensitive, hurtful "jokes". The bopping on their mouth(s) while hollering-mocking Native American cries and calls. The "hi-how-are-ya" mocking chant. The littering or spitting in front of our feet and then mocking my wife &/or I saying, "Uh oh, whoopsy, I just littered on/spat on mother earth. Are you gonna cry, dances with wolves, Tanto, Pocahontas, Saca", or some other name they made up or took from a character in a movie, TV show, video game(s). But seeing this was encouraging in ways i can't even fully explain. We do need to work together and support one another bcz many of us are mixed race. And as the great prophet, Min. Brother, Malcolm X said during a speech/sermon one day, "A house divided can not stand and will fall in on itself.". I believe the union between us will help us see some change. And that's a beautiful
When ''Native Americans'' start acknowledging the FACT of Black People being here WITH THEM before uropeans arrived, then all of these issues can begin to be resolved, and healed. But as long as ''lighter skinned'' Natives Americans continue perpetuating the white racist lies about themselves and ''darker skinned'' Natives not being Indigenous, then the neglect of Native Tribe concerns will continue. This is another example of why Black Life & History being respected and reaffirmed will benefit ALL PEOPLE ON THE PLANET.
Peace to all the Native Tribes and Nations
As a black American, I feel historically closer to Native Americans than any other group. For many of us, nothing has changed. The physical, emotional, and psychological terrorism is an everyday occurrence, with no sign of stopping. IMHO, if we could stop arguing with one another longest to see who benefits from this system, who created it and how to permanently end it we would all be better off..
The Catholic Church Created It.
What's the 1868 Webster's dictionary definition of American? The civil rights act was for the Indian... SO-CALLED AFRICAN AMERICAN!
I am black and native American and i fully support our brothers and sisters I wish we would handle this adversity better tho I genuinely appreciate and love that this msg is being presented on the same wavelength we have a deep history yet to be fully flushed out thank you for your support from my heart thank you 🙌
I am a full blood Native American and all you mixed races think you are better then us and stomp on us all over Latin America don’t be so proud of whom you are every full blood native just sees you as a white man that’s all you will ever be to us and nothing else!
I always loved Native Americans because of their struggles, pain, loss and more so their resilience in the face of oppression. They are the true first peoples of the Americas and have my respect, and i live all the way in the Caribbean. Much love and strength to you all.
Thank you brothers and sisters! Lei's not split hairs, we're all black in the eyes of the colonizers. I want the Indigenous Americans to get their lands back in order to properly manage what the colonizers destroyed and African Americans to get reparations ($$$) for their ancestors' labor that built the south. It's in the works as we speak.❤
It's funny the Natives today look a lot different from the Natives of old. My grandmother is 100% Native and the only difference between the Natives and African Americans is the hair.
Funny how my family is considered Black even though we have prodominate Indigenous American features and silky wavy and curly hair. We just go by what society says, so that we’re not attacked. Also pomade, bear grease, and perms was thing back in the 1800s to keep hair looser.
Their were many different tribes
Thanks for the support brothers and Sistas my fellow West Indians.
in France we suffer exactly the same hatred towards people with an immigrant background we are united in the face of racist far-right parties as well as the French Islamophobic government there will necessarily be an international convergence of the fight against racist colonial oppression resulting from so-called European countries
I still believe we're all American and this is a great country...Reforms yes but defunding police would create Anarchy and it seems as we witnessed in Portland and Seattle that they don't care for any culture or race at that.
The reason the police looks like soldiers is because of stuff like this.
