Rob Collier in this video is my uncle! He passed away maybe 10 years back, never knew about this video or the language. He used to tell us stories to put us to bed as a kid. Wow I was so surprised to see him after all these years.
It's a tragedy that the elders are passing on like Rob Collier these are truly National Treasures my own cousin Rose Frank was a master corn husk Weaver and she left us several years ago such a tragedy
Good afternoon. I'm Navajo from the 4-Corners. Back in 2004 I met a beautiful Blackfoot in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I see her in a powwow jingle dress in the mountains of Spokane WA. Much respect to you Blackfoot Culture. Wish I still knew her to be friends with another tribe.
I'm Blackfeet, but my family has never really talked about our heritage because a lot of us didn't know anything about it. I feel like I'm living in the generation of my family that's living in the shadow of shame😔 I'd love to learn EVERYTHING bout my people, even the language! If anyone has any resources or connections to anyone who can enlighten me, I'd be forever grateful💖
Im Blackfeet, but my family never talked about our heritage. I feel like I'm living in the shadow of shame so to speak😔. I'd love to learn EVERYTHING about our people, even the language! I'd LOVE to learn the language with all mt heart and soul. If anyone knows any resources or connections I can learn from, I'd be forever grateful💖
What an awesome video. Thankyou! I was studying the movement of tribes-Nations, in the Great Basin. I have herd about this sign language, but this is the first time I have seen it for real. What a wonderful study you have given us!
My grandfather George Mantee is from the Rocky Boy Montana Reservation, but he was born in 1901 there in Montana and there was no Reservation for the Rocky Boy tribe until 1917. His mother, my great grandmother Alice BigBoat has taken him north into Canadian territory and settle on the Piapot Band Reserve in Saskatchewan in 1911, where he met my grandmother there Mary Watetch a Saulteaux Cree from the First Nation, and the word Cree actually means Nehinaw people, and the reservation Rocky Boy was named after the Great Chippewa (Ojibwa) Chief. that the U.S. govt. had negotiated with for land settlement for our people.. Thank you for sharing this video, I've learn a lot from it..
awesome work done by an amazing race of people/peoples. this information, all of it so far, and all that will come to light in future, will eventually become an invaluable source. please keep going. humanity needs this stuff. Kia kaha. Kia ora. Nga mihi
In the Canadian documents, Rocky Boy was supposed to be part of signing the Treaty 4 treaty with my great great great grandfather Okanese, but they decided at last minute to deport him to the United States. Idk why.
Almost every tribe calls themselves "the people" in their native tongues. Like how the Apache use Ndeé and the Navajo use diné. Both mean "the people" in their tongues.
Thanks for this great video and for the true names. I have a cousin who is "Blackfeet" - he told me it is always " Blackfeet" not Blackfoot but he never told me the real name - maybe he didn't know.
My grandmother is full blood blackfoot/feet Cherokee and she told me blackfoot but I do know that we are called blackfoot in America but in Canada we are the blackfeet
@@mrsellenj.a1740 Well we Americans are notorious for misnaming Indians - even the term "Indian" is an Americanism. How can your grandmother be full blood Blackfeet and Cherokee - which one is it? Does she live near Browning Montana?
@@Hogger280right on , blackfoot/ feet Cherokee is one, but there's Cherokee (which my mother's father was) down south in Tennessee Alabama and Georgia areas. My father's mother was black foot Cherokee and mother's father is Cherokee. My grandmother passed away 2010 she was living in Florida and I honestly can't remember which one she said we were part of.
@@mrsellenj.a1740 Don't tell the Blackfeet or the Cherokee they are the same as the other - each one sees itself as different and unique and if you are half one and half the other then there in no "pureblood"
Absolutely beautiful ! I started kindergarten in Poplar Montana ! Made friends with so many people. So grateful for that experience Not once in my adventures have I once felt out of place or in danger when ever my in the company of the Indian people NEVER ! Just the opposite! Raised on the Montana High Line Proud of it

My in law and great great great grandparents ..I thank you for taking the time to really explain the difference band's and the French intervention and real way of people to know that we had full blood natives in the family like I'm just intrigued with knowing more ..I saw the daws roll and saw their name...what I dont understand is why would would they denied their people because the qutum" amount of blood my greatprents was big on family it meant everything to them ...they excepted even the ones off the resovation marring in to Afro-American to this day im 62 and at the age maybe 7 years old, I remember as a young as i was' our native ancestors coming to visit my grandparents they had coal black full of waves and a beautiful copper color ....ah I love those memories and I remember conversations about staying together as families and to never let divide you....because they will try to conquer you and everything about who you are. Needless to say..this they have been doing since I was child But I thank the most high for restoring these memories of mines that I can share with my children Now...
My 3rd great grandparents, on my dad's dad's were in Drummond, Granite, Montana by 1863. Through that 3rd great grandfather, I have a Cherokee 6th great grandmother, who was born in the Oklahoma Territory in 1740, and was in Oologah, OK. by 1748. This branch of my tree, descends from William Bradford.
Thank you for this , I love it a great education for me. love the signs there always new ones. helps unnderstanding new signs have come during covid. There is a big difference between necklace people and cut throath.
necklace people my ass they ALL wore necklace's up and down the plains and nobody wears a necklace up under the jaw like that....that's where you cut someone
My Great Grandmother was Lakota / blackfeet . Would love to find the family I'm related to. Have strong yearnings to get back to a positive relationship with them to learn and grow. Im getting older but have wanted this all my life.
There is something in their physiognamy which is common among all Native Americans, whether those who settled in North America or in Central and South America.
Beautifull psisiwa flying high in the air, without a care. Buffalo cubs running everywhere!!!!!!! Kiayowa eating fish in the summer sun and the aponi watching having fun!!!!!!! So beautifull the Blackfoot are and we appreciate you all under the stars!!!!!!! Light up my life like a glow worm giving me light at night!!!!!!!!! Hurray to Our GreatGod for everything Hes created and how He wants us to be good stewards in this world that We stand, live work and pray in!!!!!!!
I always 'consider the North Ameriçan Indians a very Unique people, to me the world over could have learnt alot from them if they were allowed to teach
Hi everyone... My friends natives. You can say, how those tribes were identified. Ex: the Apaches indians were very easy to identified them, coz the clothes they wore. But the rest of those teibes. Cree, Shoshones, Blackfoot, the Navajos wore thwmselves similar to the Apaches ones... How we knew thatone indian was Cree, etc.
Im a historian I can relate to most people and there history my people are not misplaced we held our sacred ground. Im from the piikani nation and dam proud of my ancestors
I watch these things for entertainment! Ive always been so fascinated with Native Americans just everything about them. This is the second or third time I've seen this.
Walter plecker reclassified Indians as African Americans n it's disgusting wat has happened to the black ppl of America. This video shows original video of true Indians dark complexion ppl thank u!!!!
Flathead was often referred to intentional head deformation that was popular in France for centuries and well into the 20th century. It makes sense they would notice a people with normal shaped heads and then find a name for them.
Teresa Karr - The Blackfeet Nation are in Montana. The Blackfoot Tribe is in Canada. I am blood-brother to Leon Rattler. He is Chief Of Chiefs of The Blackfeet Nation That overseas many Tribes.
Jerry Blizzard Being a chief in a tribe is not for a lifetime...anyone can become a chief in a tribe if they prove to be worthy its doesn’t stay in one family, it’s doesn’t matter if you’re related to any chief just means they were chief at one time and someone took over...plus elders are the ones who have the last say in stuff...even chiefs listens to the elders. A chief does what a elder tells what is best for the tribe....
So a traveler might say 'I went to visit 'the people', then after that I went down to 'we the people', and finally visited 'the people' before coming home. lol
I would rather see more of the actual signs than all those numbers. Actually it would be great if the signlanguage could be tought and learned worldwide. So that everyone could communicate. Very interesting! Talking silent. I bet there was less unnessesary chatter. And to use both hands the brain was more balanced as well.
map is all screwed up and the cree and chippewa came down from Cananda after the reil rebellion as it was called in the 1890 there not montana or American Indians
why not both? plus the pictography is so closely related to Hand Talk (the sign language(s) spoken here) it might as well be called its writing system. It functions a lot like Chinese writing which covers a bunch of different oral languages, but all written with the same characters... the prairie Turtle Islanders here just happen to sign the writing
I'm Cherokee, black foot Cherokee mixed and I was told that the Europeans called the blackfoot/feet was because there were black and Indians living together and had family together so they nicknamed them blackfoot/feet ,some history dose say that. I think that it was uncalled for to change names of tribes to disrespectful names given by the European people who invented their world and take away whats never been theirs because of their greed...

In the Aymara people there is a surname Quispe instead of Qhespi similar to Qaesp'e. whose meaning is crystal, mirror or something resplendent.
