This is what Zion looks like to me. One heart, one mind. A love for one another.
Shalom to you, my Hebrew Lost Tribe brothers and sisters. "The Valley of dry bones are awakening" and if I'm the first to say this to you, stay listening, other voices will surely come.
Heart warming video. I loved the lady in the red sweater talking about how “community stuff” was weeded out. Nowadays any psychologist will tell you, we are wired for connection and it is the loss of community that is one of the main causes of poor mental health. Amazing project, so important to revive Native American culture in this way, it feels authentic, not just some paper thin, box ticking exercise. I’d like a community canning facility, such a great idea. Also I love that community togetherness and collaboration is valued above money, that is real value, those kids are very lucky. I can’t say enough good things about this film, thank you for making it. Subscribed 🙏👌🌱
Thank you very much for your nice comments. Our dear friend Jeff Metoxen passed away at work few years ago. This is his legacy.
Thank you sincerely!
They have a rich culture, full of skills. They don’t need to stay in schools hours and hours. Just learn reading and math to run their business. No need to waste time in useless long day school education. The tribes before pass down their culture and knowledge from their parents, grandparents, and community. They did not need modern education .
It was not about education it was about indoctrination and subjugation.
Captain Richard Henry Pratt's speech in which he used the now well-known phrase to describe his philosophy of assimilation: "Kill the Indian in him, and save the man."
Thank you very much!!!
LOVE this video! ❤️
This is the most informative video on sustainable agriculture using traditional methods I've found. More people need to understand the importance of this knowledge, and have to the will to do something with it.
I've been practicing the The Three Sisters in Arizona for two seasons now, growing Hopi Blue Corn, Scarlet Runners, and a variety of heirloom squash and pumpkins. I'm curious if anyone knows of a place to trade traditional heirlooms? I'm looking for Hopi Pale Grey squash, and any traditional variety of legume. Preserving the genetic lineage of these crops is perhaps the most vital thing we can do, in light of agricultural industrialization and genetic modification.

Yes 💯%
Thank you very much!!!
@@indigenousedumedia likewise, thank you.
New sub HERE.
This way of life is SO beautiful, and loving of earth, humans, animals & plants
Great, great work. Seeing the people on the land, harvesting and working with the fruit of the land was the best.
Good job my friends, your on the right track! Substitute the cattle and chickens for bison and turkeys, throw in some paint type horses and your off to the races. Traditional bean and vegetable varieties are still around as well as tobacco and pawpaws.
So cool how the concept of nixtamal spread so far and changed name and form. Making that corn more nutritious
Education of the youth is the key... They children are our future...
Thank you very much!!!
i believe that what the settlers did to the natives of this continent should be in the forefront of the american people’s minds. what they had to endure is absolutely tragic and horrifying. we took so much from them and they still are feeling the effects today.
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for sharing
According to my great grandmother, that is where they moved from when she was a child, and that we are related to people's there. I sure wish I knew more, she has moved on from this earth.
Thank you very much!!!
I love you ✨️
Corn needs to be processed in order to provide nutrients. "The word “nixtamal” comes from a combination of the Nahuatl words for “lime ashes” and “corn dough” which describes the original method of creating the alkaline solution using hardwood ashes to raise the pH of the water."
Ya mistakes were made, woops.

My family name is morales I’m just finding out we are from Cherokee Tribe how would I find out more
Start building a family tree, use online sources to go as far back as possible and contact city records to see where the nearest settlement was and where they moved to
Hi Jessica, all US Tribes have a culture presevation offices that deal wuth genealogies. I would suggest to use a DNA test to start and then contact the Cherokee Tribe that is related to your family and ask for help with their office.
I am related to Polly cooper if you know Oneida you will know of her
QUESTION
How would SOMEONE go about starting a community "family" similar to this... This is a DREAM of mine. 100 acre woods _& ALL my beautiful PEOPLE.
Sorry for the delay. This is the model you can use. You can contact these amazing fellas: ua-cam.com/video/EScfVBAxAow/v-deo.html
Are they still around? This farm and community.
The community of course. This is part of the great Oneida Nation. This reservation is located next to Green Bay city in Wisconsin. They have a very nice Hotel and Casino to stay. The tribe has a cultural preservation office and a museum, which includes the original cabins given by the govern when they were relocated from NY. You can ask for a guided tour. Oneidas are kind and gentle communities composed by traditional families that never forgot their past.

@@indigenousedumediathey need to be relocated back to New York, at least own original lands.
Casinos eat away at a person's soul.
@@mns8732 Casinos were a "solution" from the federal government offered to
Native Nations to replace their economic responsibility to compensate the Tribes in perpetuity for vast live and material losses and transferred to citizens. Tribes use the income for housing an diverse internal operations. i agree w your characterization of casinos. But then Tribes will need a level of subsidy or compensation and much more land to be economic independent. Nonetheless ALL Tribes in Indian Country are already involved in many economic development projects to replace casinos> Anyway the Supreme Court rejected the relocate back to their ancestral homeland in NY.
I really loved this documentary. I love how these people are growing their own food. I love these people especially more than other Natives because our families live so close and look so similar (Italians in CNY).
Thank you very much!!!
What if Indians that were on this land before the English came. Did not teach the settlers how to hunt for food and to grow crops. It would be a better America today. My mother was Cherokee.
They didn't really have a choice. The conquerers were more advanced and would have learned the land either way.
For indian nations to have survived would probably have rquired a smallpox vaccine. There was just no stopping the english with the numbers that were left.
I'm a Navajo Indian that works the land without using free child labor
This project is far from using child labor. These are educational interventions for community building processes inside and outside Native reservations around sustainable agriculture. In many ways educating local and native youth ensures that everybody understands environmental threats like mining for instance.
My respects to Navajo Nation
