    I used to go camping with charlie thom when I was younger, up in the marble mountains. we would ride in on my grandmothers horses and do sweat lodges and sing and dance up in the wilderness. It was very nice to hear him speak in this video, thanks for the memories.

      My family lost the Native culture as a result of catholicism, Irwindale, California.
      My Native Roots are of the "Chumas-Tong-va " people of Southern California.

    Dedicated to my friend. Nobody took him seriously. He was a bird singer. He had a hard life. He was a nice man. He would have understood this.
    He would approve this. He was Shivwits but his grandfather was Mojave . He would totally get this.
    After his accident, he was blind. So he worked on his bird songs.
    In our friendship, i was not able to ask him about his songs. I didn't want to be rude. I'm a gabacho.
    My friend was a good man.

    This was fabulous. All of the participants were so remarkable. I especially enjoyed Charley Thom and wondered if he is related to the Thom family mentioned in 'In the Land Of The Grasshopper Song," written back in the early 1900s. There were Thoms in that book from Karuk country.
    What a wonderful evening. Thank you for sharing.

    My grandfather went to one of those "schools" when he was 12. He and his 5 brothers were tricked into going-their parents I mean... Any way, I am proud of my Karuk/Shasta heritage. I am trying to learn the Karuk language, I find it a difficult, but beautiful language. I love the regalia too. I find that the more I learn about the culture the more I love it. My father grew up with it, in it... This is a wonderful thing this video. Yootva.

      America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, a map maker from Florence, Italy. He wasn't a priest and he never traveled with Columbus. He was just another arrogant European douchebag putting his name on stuff that wasn't his.

    • @bassline5633
      @bassline5633 6 років тому +3

      Hmm? History is a lot more complex then mainstream school brainwashing is willing to tell. Genetics can not peice together everything, we need to listen to the people's stories and have spiritual love to receive a full picture.
      The Hopi tell of a Hopi brother Pahana(white brother) who left their people to live in the land of the rising sun, and the Hopi were told he would return someday. The sun rises east, so the east is where Pahana traveled, and he was probably not "white" at first, but as he adapted and assimilated with the people of the east he changed...
      Also we see Hebrew Yesraelai culture to a huge extent in the Americas, and it seems some of this carried into Mongolia too.
      My theory:
      It is to my understand that the South Americans migrated there from Eden, according to Sumerians, and had been there since before the flood (first race of man), and they survived four men and four women on a raft atop of the tallest mountain during the flood(Hopi and other flood stories resemble this). Then later the Semites began expeditions to a foreign land across the sea. The Phoenicians taught the Yesraelai to trade with the Land of Ophir, which was said to be in the ocean somewhere south and maybe west of India. Yesrael were not a sea bearing people, they were Nomadic Tent dwelling Medicine men, and warriors, with a huge Oral tradition of Creation. Under Adonai Davayd the nation of Tribes became Allies with Phoenicia, and His son Solomen had a Naval trade with Phoenicia. The Phoenicians and Yesraelai traveled to the legendary land of Gold on occasion. Many claim it was Shangrala Island south of India, but this theory does not explain how Hebrew customs settled in america, or how they retrieved so much Gold. Now peacocks certainly came from India, but that was just one of several riches that are said to have come from the Journey to Ophir. It was during the Assyrian war, conquer and captivity of Yesrael that lead to the exile of the 10 northern tribes, they scattered many areas of the world, a specific group in Esdras is said to have traveled to a Land where mankind never dwelt (or atleast that was the idea), and they had a mighty Seraph(fiery serpent) guide them across the Euphrates by parting the water, and it took them a year to travel to the said land.
      Well we see in America there are two primary family lines, though many peoples have attempted or have entered the land throughout history. Firstly we see the Quaotl type languages towards south, and the more Hebrew languages northern. From south america through Mezoamerica to North America, we see traditions, Oral legends, culture and Phenotypes similar to that of Yesrael. North America that is the USA is where we see a stronger Cultural tie, and in the regions of the Bahamas and East coast there have been found Phoenician and other Hebrew artifacts, as well as a remembrance of the Hebrew Eloh or deity to behold. We also see through the Hopi with Pahana, and the culture in siberia and Mongolia, that the Hebrew culture seems to be even there, but not as fluent or strong as North America. I even heard a Mongolian Shaman pray to the "great spirit of Mount sion" and to sky father, the same spirit. They wear fringes, they pray to the spirit of four directions, and they care about mother earth, though not all "shaman" focus their worship to the great spirit unfortunately.
      It makes me wonder if Anthropologists of the early 19th century purposely coined all tribal beliefs shaman by an agenda that contradicts reality. If one society believes there is Father sky and Mother Earth, and the great Holy spirit, and to give all love, then this is good. And if another society bows to the river and prays to the river god instead, and steals power from others, this is not the same at all... One is "Shaman" and one is not, but which one? This must have been an anthropological mistake, or deception to get grips of control on Native Religion?
      Anyhow, what am I saying?
      I am saying It is evident to me that Native americans are Original to South america since before the record, and that Yesrael came and assimilated their rich culture with an ancient people, and together in a land set apart, they flourished. It was the North American natives that may have assimilated with Yesraelai and migrated to Asia, settling in a foreign land, adapting the Turkik language, and became mongolian. Their people then assimilated with the people over in the east, and Asians such as Chinese, and Vietnamese, etc... were a result. Which essentially means that while Europeans have been conquering lands, and Israelites have been assimilating worldwide in the other bloodlines, so has the American people been blending into much of Asia and the Middle east.
      Interesting huh? You will not hear that in history books. Culture does heavily suggest my theory, and I am not the only one to share much of this belief...

He even stated he isn’t a public speaker and was nervous so how dense can you really be? Especially since he is now a very well known and respected lead singer in our communities and culture. You are a sad and ignorant person and you should be ashamed of yourself for saying such a thing and disrespecting my family and my culture.
