    I see some of the comments about Native Americans dancing for the white man...I can only speak from the perspective of one of those white people. I remember my parents took me to see Native American dancing when I was a child and I was fascinated by the beautiful costumes and the grace and beauty of the dancers. Even as a child, I knew I was witnessing something special...a true artistic expression of a great people. Never did I feel that they were dancing "for me". Only that I was allowed to witness part of a rare and beautiful culture. I hope Native Americans never stop sharing this...that would be a great loss.

      For your information, these are NOT costumes! These are our REGALIA, there are specific spiritual meaning behind every bead and feather behind this it is our traditional way of celebration of creation

      From what I understand, the clothing worn is referred to as regalia, not costumes. I only learned that recently as a sign of respect.

    I understand the dance: while keeping an eye on the things of his life, he periodically has to look around for external threats. Weakness within is the primary focus; vigilance against the external, while needed, is secondary.

    I think he is simulating the search of the enemy in the battlefield, i read about mexica/aztecs and they used to do a ritual where the dancers advanced "snaking low, leaping up, gazing about in what it seems a stylization of the battlefield searching and attacking"

      Yes you are correct. I'm from treaty 6 maskwacis. He tracks and finds his enemy, he sneaks up and kills his enemy. Proudly dances and gives thanks to the creator for kill by raising his weapon to the sun. This is a very traditional dance and would be performed before the actual killing to show the creator your intent. This would be alone warrior dance. Great observation btw. Thanks

      it's just a bayle, everything is history. We are all human and we are all called to evolution in the good sense, but always to maintain high self-esteem for being very proud of who you are, you must have full confidence and security and high self-esteem, that leads you to be successful, no one should break or feel less we are all human beings and we are all children of God, here in England the success is not in the color of skin but in the security and confidence that you have in yourself that force that comes from the inside out and drives you to speak confident confident and do a good job

    Hey I recognize that place! That’s Knotts Berry Farm. Reminds me of my childhood. Remember as a kid always being so in awe watching the Native American dances. It was always so mysterious. I still love it to this day and wish everyone had the same appreciation. It’s like going back in time. I love their culture/spirituality is so nature centered. Deep connection to Mother Earth. I love it. I wish I had native blood but sadly I don’t. I’m just a mutt from Europe, Spain, Scandinavia, Scotland, and a couple of drops of Pacific Islander and North Africa

Someone asked if he felt weird showing everyone sacred dances and he said no, he was proud to share them with everyone so that more people would understand. He was very aware (obviously) of the history so when he spoke to us kids it was really like opening up a new world we hadn't seen even if california history (establishment of the CA missions, of which our teachers thankfully did not hide how horrible it was for the tribes) was a large part of our education.

I do not know what part or how much but that it is in our family somehow. Sad that this knowledge is lost. But hearing and seeing this gives a comforted and yet exciting too the connection even if some distant inherited past memory.
