From the Amazonian rainforest! For him to leave his tribe, come here, learn English, begin public speaking... I think most people wildly underestimate the difficulty of taking on all these tasks, especially in just a few short years... Wow. He has such a strong and calm presence. I'm so proud of him and the impact he's making. Big heart.
I spent two years homeless. In that two years, I spent a quiet a bit of time with nature.First lesson I learned was balance. The rocks taught me to focus and take my time. The trees and vines taught me to walk on the earth with respect. The darkness taught me to use my ears, as sight. We are to the flower as the tree is to us. Imagine a world the trees could walk. Would we not want them to walk on the earth with caution awareness and respect? The flower wishes the same of us. Love all living life!
I experienced being homeless for 4 years & had a powerful experience as well. Although I do not wish to experience that ever again I am a better person because I went thru that. Rid attachment to material possessions, learned empathy and to love fellow humans and all creatures unconditionally, learned humility in it's purest sense, learned to advocate for myself & members of all marginalized populations, understood for the first time quantum physics; law of attraction, about energy & that our thoughts & beliefs ABSOLUTELY CREATE OUR REALITY. I learned my own strength. Any one else experience houselessness & wish to share what it was like?.
I Love his Headress! ALL THOSE AMAZING FEATHERS!!! I've heard they are given, by nature while walking in the Forests, or found naturally. Also, Elders of the Tribe give them for their Bravery or Blessings to others. I love all this ! God Be with his Tribe and Family! Tribe of Yawanawa. (Notice Yawa ~ or equal to "Yah Hey Vav Hey". Just think about it, it's not a conclusion). But I know WE (the World" are all connected, naturally!
I felt his peaceful message is simply "please leave us alone". We just want to live the way we live". He had to learn a different language to do that and here he is. What a beautiful man and a beautiful soul. I hope his people get to keep their forest safe from the western world and all its poison.
As we consider them as Indian , foolish , dum , uneducated in our environment . They think of us the same but they carry great knowledge and he comes from the rain forest of Brasil to share with the world " ayawasca ritual to make contact with your own individual spirit " . that is one way we all humans are connected together by spirit .
Native American tribes have embraced Islamic teachings. They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish colonizers. Native American tribes have known monotheism. And know God. If you are asked who is your God??...The answer is Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and all the blessings He has bestowed. There is no God but Him (Allah). And Allah says in the Qur'an Surah Thaha: 14 'Indeed I am Allah, there is no god but Me, so worship Me and pray to remember Me.
I’m amazed at HOW FAR outside his confort zone he has came for all of us. The fear to speak in public is massive for people who speak in the language they were brought up and educated. Stage fright. Fear of not belonging. So many real life dangers , facing people’s resistance and apathy, being away from home for years. Not giving up on humanity. Showing up authentically... for the world to witness. We owe him so much for the message in his presence.
And what a privilege to experience that uniqueness and rarity. The indigenous contribution to our planet and collective needs to be honored and protected
Leaving the forest, his people, his life and coming into a world where power & money is dominant. We should appreciate his dedication towards his purpose and listen to his message.
@@lillee183 i mean it not bad for me though. you just have people who are selfish animals and monsters in general. i can say money or favor can get you far these days.
It's very depressing for me to see a man of his stature doing this 😪 😔!!!!!!! This just proves that there situation is very desperate!!!!!!!! For a man like him to leave and try to speak reason to people!! I'm afraid the truth is it's what's happening to him and his people is the same thing that happened to all the American natives!!!!
That was in 2014. What is happening now in Brazil, 5 years later, is absolutely horrendous. The Bolsonaro government is rolling back all protective laws, tribal lands are opened up to mining, ranching, logging etc. We need to support tribal peoples and stand with them against the onslaught that is taking place. Join Survival International, sign petitions, donate, whatever it takes to safeguard their future. They are the ones who have the knowledge and moreover, the attitude that may save us all.
Maybe it will. But it will take too long and too much will be be lost. The poles are shifting and to escape the expansion of incorporated society, one may have to travel to the wilds of what was formerly due north with regard to the lands of upper north america. The former due north is, as yet, "uncivilized", in which there are simply "pockets" of organized, technical society. (no peace💘)
Just as of now people are being killed in Mariri Brasil, we should organize a protest aganst mining massive in every country infront of the canadian and American embassies and also stop programmed obsolescence so we dont ravage the entire nature for resources to make and sell more things instead of repairing stuff, clothes etc

@@TheHoriyoshi Which famous chief said: The white man made us many promises, more than I can remember, but he only kept but one, he promised to take our land, and he took it.
The pain, innocence and wisdom in his eyes. 😢 Some may think he is the voice for his tribe. But he is actually voice for each and everyone of us and for our future generations to come.
I agree, you can feel his pain and I also feel it for all of us around the world and for my people in Mexico. He is there talking to us because they are losing their way of life due to the rapid change in society. They're asking for help, for all of us to be conscious of our impact and even inviting everyone to their home, so we can see with our own eyes how happy they are where they belong. Not in the one that society wants to impose on them.
@@quetzalcoatul1 what nonsense is this. Our tribes were dissolved, wherever they are they are, and we had to accept this because of the many diasporas that continue since biblical times to this day, yes it is till happening. And if we jews cannot trace the tribes - I can trace my lineage 500years, and not through DNA- if we don't know how would anyone else. That seems fanatical and a very gentile thing to state. If it is true, then that is wonderful, a lost cousin. But the proof could not come through DNA and the story would be sketchy at best. Get back to me - I am from three tribes myself. And a few more that cannot be proved only speculated. But us jews aren't big on lineage, only that we have jewish blood.
"What people need is more love and to understand each other." I truly believe that Indigenous people have a special connection to the Earth and to other people that is very deep a true nature. I think that Nixiwaka is a true warrior for his people back home in his tribe and also for all of us humans who need to stop consuming to fill that void within us, because by doing so we are destroying our home and ourselves. I hear you brother!
@@andreww4751 I know right, Imagine actually believing in and proposing something even if it's not the entirety of the solution, and then some normie sympathizing with it, truly pitiable. But honestly I understand the future of our problems are mind meltingly huge and complex but we need people fighting on the right side against them, and to have the strength to fight for our survival requires a solid and wholesome worldview and value system, for which an awareness of our interconnection and thus the value of understanding and empathy for eachother is a good place to start, and people with worldviews with this as a basis have been capable of immense good. Not enough, obviously, but a lot nonetheless.
I, for one, am of the opinion, that a person's deep connection to the land, to nature and the elements are instilled & achieved by the methods in which you are raised; what you are exposed to and what you are taught as well as the environment and stimuli that you arent. The True People who adopted & raised the child whose biological parents hailed from Great Britain or Africa were raised exactly as if they were indeed their biological child as their customs, ways, survival skills, religious beliefs & language were the only ways they knew! It is impossible to teach that which you have no knowledge of. One's DNA, country of origin and the superficial coloring of our physical features are completely insignificant for we are All simply Ghosts driving an incredibly fragile flesh covered skeleton for a undetermined period of time with no warranty and no guarantee except that your license seems to expire way too fast.. We are of Earth. We Are People. We are all Human beings.
By some amazing stroke of luck, this American got to do a ceremony with some representatives of the Yawanawa tribe. It was one of the most joyful experiences of my life. I realized our western arrogance towards how indigenous people live, and how we've got it backwards: they know infinitely more than us about living a meaningful, peaceful, joyful life.
Amen man. I would love to stay with them for a weekend or have a night to just live their life and learn from them. Did you learn anything? About yourself or life?
Do they truly know more about living a happy life? Or are they simply infinitely more happy because they are removed from everything that makes us unhappy? I've always known or at least had a suspicion that people who live remotely or indigenously are happier because in their world there are no worries. Living naturally as they do there just simply is no room for unhappiness.
This man is so beautiful, I see life and pure love in his eyes. He radiates masculinity yet gentle. Money could never come close to wealth in this man heart. ❤❤❤❤❤
LaVee Pineal Goddess Gentle masculinity is incredibly beautiful. I had moments of it modelled for me when I was a child, but it was so very little. I wish I had someone this tremendously tender in my life, who happened to be a man, too. It would have been so healing.
I just heard a podcast about the fragility of our western civilization and how people have lost their knowledge of survival techniques. The speaker suggested that after a collapse many would gravitate to indigenous tribal areas to survive. These are the only people on earth who know how to survive in nature without electricity, man made medicines and supermarkets. It is in our own best interest to respect and protect these tribes.
Native American tribes have embraced Islamic teachings. They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish colonialists. Native American tribes have served Allah. The answer Praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe and all the blessings He has bestowed. There is no god but Him (Allah).

@@YRD666 Abrahamic dogmatic religion is unfortunately a means of arresting of the minds of masses. Virtually all native american peoples (north, mesoamerican, south) believed/believe in much more broad, nature oriented, animistic spiritual views. If you are find strength in your religion to do real good in the world, it is a blessing.
No. Get off our peaceful comments with your allllaah. There’s nothing peaceful about a religion that doesn’t respect other religions. EVERY RELIGION IS RIGHT and it all stems back to the same god. Virgins births, 12 followers, 3 days and more- every god/deity in every religious story ever made (minus the real fake one- Scientology) your Islamic threats of one and only god do not phase me and most People aren’t interested in your prehistoric cult like barbarianism 🎉 Women do not have to hide their face from earth 🌎 and we have rights as do any humans on this planet.
@@vintheguy it’s hard to explain, you have to live it. I live 14 years in the Amazon and am aware of many shortcomings in our thinking. Look up my channel about plantwork and shamanism
What a beautiful soul.. I’m Japanese and felt a strong connection listening to his song. I agree with him the western way has set us back, nobody even knows how to live in nature anymore or how to heal the body and soul, knowledge has been destroyed and we’ve become slaves to the system and we’re fueling the power that’s creating so much destruction hate and chaos, we have all become lost souls. There is no respect towards our true god (nature) I know many westerners feel the same and is fighting to protect nature. We all need to stand together they control us by keeping us divided.
Senorita Aurora you know he’ll stand up for others and himself in any ways he has to but isn’t hateful, angry, etc. love and compassion is not weakness it’s the opposite especially when your being spat on and abused by your fellow man
Dawn Irish I would disagree. There’s a perception that masculinity has to mean aggression, anger, lack of harmony, volatility, intolerance, strong-mindedness and stubbornness- that’s simply the western contortion of masculinity. Masculinity can be gentle and kind and strong and loving and wonderfully tender all at once, just as femininity can be. Anything else simply holds people back from being the beautiful people they can be.
I didnt understand much, I am German. But I saw his eyes and his face and I heard his voice and know what he is telling about. And he touches me deeply and I feel: Most of us, born and living in Europe in zivilisation, are ill in body, mind and heart, me too. This man is so healthy in his spirit and inner beauty - but he is just like we all should be: human beeings, children of mother earth and the great spirit.
For not understanding much, as you say, you truly understood the heart of what was being expressed! And I totally agree with you, and feel the same way!
The fact that he wants to be home in his tribe but isn’t. Learning new languages, traveling to different countries because of how we have done natives terribly wrong. You can see he has accepted what has happened but is trying to protect his and many other tribes future. We need to do better.
@@tomwatson3735 You do not need to feel guilty about the past. But - I do think it is a good thing if we can feel the compassion, in the present, for difficult histories in the past still impacting the present, when they are brought to our attention. Listening with open minds to others' stories is a powerful way to be truly human. Feeling that compassion can heal lots of wounds we did not have any direct role in afflicting. Also we ourselves are grateful when we are having a hard experience and receive compassion and understanding, right? I hope these thoughts offered as conversation can be received as only that.
@@AstrisWorld How about the conversation that this man might be a total grifter, lying to everyone and getting treated like a prince everywhere he goes by gullible hippies. I notice he's wearing really beautiful indigenous jeans. Made by indigenous children in sweatshops in Indonesia.
Respect him, his ethical standards, moral compass, integrity, and humility. A great teacher for humanity! May he, his people, and our world be blessed.
I wish I knew someone with his spirit. He seems like a time traveler. Visiting for a short while from the past. Disillusioned at what he sees. He’s a true man.
@@rosariomireles901 Hmm not exactly🤔. We’re 70+ million throughout the Western Hemisphere. Sure, our population is not much compared to other races but it’s not too shabby for a race that was predicted to become extinct back in the early 1900s. Oh, & another fun fact is that the biggest race is the mixed Native/European race. Too bad they are detribalized & no longer practice the native culture unless you count eating native foods like corn on the cob as native culture
@@nvmoondevotee28yrsago48 A lot of folks don't even know that they have a little Native American in themselves! Someone i know recently found out and this person's mother didn't even know! The best part is that now that we all know, you can actually see the facial attributes. It's very fascinating!
I'm Brazilian too. My paternal grandmother was from the Guarani tribe. I'm proud of my heritage and I am very connected to nature and a great lover of the winds and thunderstorms since I was very little. I also use medicinal plants.. I've learned with my father. We come from Earth, we eat from Earth and we go back to it.
Thank you for this. I love this. I am Nativo Americano Indian from the Aniwodi Clan (1 of the 7 Cherokee Indian Clans). It fills me with much warmth and love in my heart to see this and I hope it continues to make an impact. This knowledge of truth is so necessary for our Earth.
I'm Paraguayan so i also speak Guaraní too cuz it's an oficial language with Spanish in Paraguay,so i'm not an indigenous but we Paraguayan do speak Guaraní cuz it is part of our culture but i always wondered what was like the Guaraní tribes culture before the Spaniard colonization,do Guaraní tribes in Brazil keep having same habits,culture and customs even after Portuguese colonization?
I'm American & admire & respect global indigenous people. I lived in Arabia before it was westernized. We All need to reconnect with nature & family. Nothing is more important than love for family, respecting & preserving our earth that God created for our joy.

I am from São Paulo, Brazil, and I just saw his lecture. This goes to show how we are disconnected from the indigenous tribes. His message is painful and important. Maybe we will start taking care of people and the world in 2022 ❤️
There is something very sweet about him. I noticed it from the beginning, just very innocent and endearing, like a child. But he is not childish, he just seems like a very gentle guy. I love it, that can be rare to see, one who is gentle but yet authentic and wise. A quiet wisdom. Thank you ❤
Ne'La agreed, but the beautiful thing is we can bring it to life again. Just a bit of releasing old conditioning, facing fears, and so on😊. Modern society cannot do anything without the citizen's consent
La Red wow, my whole view of what a "man" truly is has been certainly distorted over the years then, but thats not a surprise since most men in my life haven't been the best.. luckily I have one in my life, my love, who is just like this.. it's like sunshine. I hope every deserving woman meets a man like this.
Curious Diva not all the tribes whatever save mine or ours they look at things that we as a culture today as I speak here in the United States clear-cutting is Extreme example of what's going on in South America I live in Colombia South America I speak Spanish I learned in 3 months I learn to read and write in about a year proficiently I saw a different side of these people the way they treated the indigenous people in Colombia was horrible they leave them in the streets and let their children breastfeed right in front of them you just walked by them like they didn't exist still happens in the United States to this day they treat the American Indian with contempt most cultures do cuz they want them to broaden their ways just suit the way they do act & Speech

I actually cried when he said his door is always open. I want to drop everything and go and see if this natural life cures or helps my many chronic illnesses. I’m 25 next month and already have a hysterectomy and can’t hold a job because of my other, worse medical issues. I’ve always been an outdoorsy person and I’ve always felt more connected with nature and the animals than the society we live in today. I don’t even know who I am, I have no spirituality, and I don’t know what to do with my life. I already feel it’s over. I don’t have the money or support to do things like this, but I wish I could.
I'm with you man. Just remember that you are never alone even if it feels like it. Any day here on earth with the rest of life, even if isolated, is still home. Sending you love on your journey.
I have fantasized many times how life could be so much joy if we would leave in a tribal world, where your main priority would be waking up to find something to hunt or gather for our family and our self, be able to explore & wander without been concern on how to pay your taxes, get the newest phone, decide what to dress, worry if you are praying to right God. All of these things the just seem unnecessary if one compares.
Similar social conventions and stress that exist in your society also exist in tribal societies. I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both a western modern way of life and a tribal traditional way of life. I don’t think I fit in either one of them. The western modern way is too stressful, too materialistic, too disingenuous and detached from the natural way of life. However my tribal culture is too misogynistic where I as a woman felt and was treated like a second class citizen, I didn’t have equal opportunity to education as my male relatives and the gender roles are quite restrictive. However, I love my traditions, my culture’s connection to nature and spirituality and so many other things. I guess I just have to be greatful for being able to be exposed to such different lifestyles and it’s up to me to find my place in the universe just as I pray that you will find that world & life you fantasise about! 🙂
This helped me more understand that we are all family and stewards of the earth. You can hear the sincerity of his voice and strength of his soul. We could all learn a lot from our brother.
Too bad we can’t get more on board to think this way. I appreciate your words. Religions have torn each other apart. Destroyed the main objective. To live as one with the earth that was created by a power bigger than ourselves that we will only know through living our lives and respecting nature. Not just wild nature but nature in all of us humans.
“We live because we have the forest.” Awesome talk. Awesome message. These people live symbiotically with nature, treating it with respect and only taking what they need. We could learn a lot from them.
Lauren Ellis The border between "us" and "them" is a very strange story the tribes of "western civilisation" tell each other. You as well live in symbiosis with nature. If you destroy it you destroy yourself. What a strange culture that destroys itself and everything beautiful with it.

His eyes shine like diamonds. His words and song touch me deeply. The headdress and face paint accentuate his powerful spirit. I am blessed to see this today!
His unspoiled nature! His innocence and inner peace! I feel bad about myself watching this, but I found my happiness in his story, I felt like something is calling me to go back to where I belong, nature... Let's get back to our nature, let's get rid of this materialistic world and start living for our people and our land, for our earth. People let's do something, let's take a step and change our world, does anyone have an idea how we can get started ?
GS GS. I like how you think. I try to be kind to others, interact with different cultures by being respectful and asking questions while embracing the diversity. Recycle and dont destroy Mother Earth. If you find an answer let me know!
GS GS To go back to the earth and to our nature I recommend to love yourself, choose healthy habits, eat lots of veggies, love and respect not only people but animals as well. Don't let the media brainwash you, you don't need all the junk they make you believe you need, lots of makeup, clothing, tech devices and so on. Keep it simple, technology can help us sometimes, but don't depend on it. If you do that you will suddenly realize you have more time, spend it doing something that makes you feel useful and happy. Build a relationship with God, by praying, meditating, doing community work, whatever makes you feel your life has a purpose, because we all have a purpose in life. Hope you find it.
@@juniortavai7084 I'm not sure what you mean by _"the law of one",_ but from what i know, *there are no laws* but those we humans formulate. There are truths, however.

Now, i do know that we create conditions to experience from such as gravity, and the many limitations we human beings experience from our perception. These are not laws, however, for they are not absolutes.

My people (Lakota), do the same thing. We ask permission of the animals and plants to consume them, honor them for their sacrifice. Why? Because they are living beings, with lives and memories. Our brothers and sisters. So it makes sense to speak to the plants and animals before we pick and hunt them.
Indigenous AND part Christian colonizer. Mestizo. The is a situation I sometimes think gringos are incapable of understanding. The real meaning of La Raza.

You've experienced the joy of it and that is a blessing that most kids are robbed of - they are never taught how to connect or shown the things around them. So its extremely sad for those like yourself who have known and lost - but also very sad for those who never got to know it at all.

@@Oakami IMO, Because we have been socialized in the scientific paradigm. But, is this necessarily always valid in different circumstances? If you were socialized different (culture, place, time, status) you would be asking different questions. 100 years from now we will be asking questions based on our socialization based on place, time, culture, status. It is a dynamic question...different answers for different times.

We need more people to open their eyes and recognize the fact that we are living in a subjective reality. Western civilization is based upon the ideology that a "civilized" lifestyle is the best way to live, and that it is the key to 'fulfillment'. However, I think a majority of humanity can agree that these fast-paced lifestyles are not derived from the true intent of the heart. Its not our faults that we've been born into these lifestyles, but you are at fault if you choose to live in ignorance. At some point in time we have lost our touch with the real world, and with our true selves. Please, search inside of yourself and realize that you are a savage at heart. You are an animal and its okay to embrace it. Call me a "hippie" or whatever you'd like. I'm just a human being who has opened her eyes.

It takes a strong spirit to do what he did. Most people can’t even imagine leaving the comforts of their homes to go somewhere that has a completely different array of languages and societal norms. And to do it without looking down on us but rather with an openness to understanding. I think we’re all brainwashed monsters who don’t give a eff about how we effect other people with our daily routines. But maybe I’m just too cynical. This mans spirit really spoke to me without needing words. Just him even standing up in front of a crowd already spoke enough. Not to mention he’s pretty hot

Mel Medley Your words mirror my own thoughts entirely, and I also had tears in my eyes too. I wish the rest of the world could get on the same page as this man and his tribe, I prey that one day we will be back in harmony with the earth and Mother Nature 🕊💜🌍🌸🍄
For some reason, seeing this man brought tears to my eyes. For the lost cultures, for his tribe, and for every other people destroyed by the white Westerners. Westerners have brought nothing to the world but the idea of money and destruction of everything for the sake of some profit masked as progress. Not an ounce of spirituality or appreciation for anything other than that. But now they are all losing themselves in Goa and what not, tripping in their minds that they are masters of yoga and mindfulness, but only because and while it is trendy.
To claim that literally all westerners and stuff that came from the West is ridiculous. The concept of many existed in many non western societies. You rant against colonialism and capitalism, then sure, you *are* correct.
I bursted in tearswhen I heard him sing the song at the end. I didn’t know where it came from, I just felt deep connection and nostalgia. Does anybody here felt the same or is it just me?
It's the frequency, all energy. It literally sends a signal (vibration) to the spirit, thus the "we are all connected". Nature will do this as well. Even living in a big city, going out at night or during the day. When showing pure appreciation to all of nature it shows appreciation right back. ✌️❤️🌏⚖️🙏♾️

Thanks Nixiwaka,...I am from India,..We are Siblings,...As a Hindu from India, I feel happy to see Indigenous Ethnic Ancient Traditional peoples....🕉️🕉️🕉️💕💕💕💪💪💪🙏🙏
Yes, true and sadness is a good step in the direction of VERY good news, Vachik, We are Nature, and we can listen within anytime and hear the forest calling....and inviting us to restore the beauty we are, right here, right now. Hug, Claire
I cried when he sang, the feels for humanity & this incredible, miraculous Earth came pouring out I can feel their plight. We need to heal each other to heal this planet. Please do the work 🌎🌞🌜✨🌲🌿🍄
His pain, innocence and wisdom in his eyes were overflowing. And before I know I was too. ♥️ Only if we understand life like they do, imagine how beautiful earth would be.
Imagine that: asking the plant consciousness for healing- for the medicine to be effective. An honor to hear him speak. Perhaps someone will do a documentary on him at home…
Only a simple, openhearted soul with a strong connection to nature can be like this young man. Just look at his eyes and you can see everything he feels. Great speech! I am looking this over and over again and I my grandson saw it. It is important to make our children and grandchildren to understand what is the most important thing in life.
Guardian spirit is nice way to describe. As a Turkish shamanist i was wondering what we can call them in english. In turkish we say '' iye '' . iye means owning something dedicated to them to protect by god.
Last year after the watching 'The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman' on Netflix, I started searching online, I found Survival International and began donating money to raise awareness and protection for the many families around the world. Half of my family is from Brazil, I decided to go visit even though I have no living relatives over there, and I felt full of life and joy experiencing nature up close and personal. Today seeing this video, Nixiwaka inspires me so much and I def feel so proud of him. Please share this video with others and inspire them to become part of this great journey.
Only found this video in 2021. I looked at him & heard him speak and I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for your presence and what you are doing. Much love.
My father taught me how to be at one with nature. He loved all animals, all living creatures, plants, rocks, mountains, the ocean, you name it, he loved it. I learned that from him. I can’t imagine not having that love, nor the spiritual communion it brings. Of course, give. What most humans have done to the earth in their greed, with that love comes pain. I very much enjoyed this wonderful talk.
Sharon, you were blessed to have had a very evolved father, mine isn’t so much. Overall as humans we don’t LOVE enough, our fellow humans, the animal kingdom, Mother Earth should be sacred yet not fully understood, were is it taught? It’s all fragmented learnings, so I encouraged my children to research the answers to questions, to always be curious, to understand, & to be kind & compassionate. It was my best endeavour to equip my children to ask about who, what, where and why, and to never assume complacency in life, as nothing is guaranteed.
"What we need is more love and understanding of each other". LISTEN. TO. THIS. MAN. Love...both given and recieved is ALL WE REALLY ARE! We aren't the darkness that makes us think love is not enough.
I feel so disconnected to the system I was born into. Although I try my best to bring awareness to people and stand up for Mother Earth, I feel that I will only feel truly free when I am living with a tribe and living by the land
I wish I could encourage more people to watch this. It's so important to learn about indigenous people and also learn from them. I'm Native American, and I have always felt so connected to nature, my ancestors, and learning about different cultures. It's amazing your tribe is so open to inviting people to learn. I hope that I can go in the future. And I hope that our societies can solve the land and environmental issues. Thank you for this talk and for sharing. :)
Shana Leigh I feel called to nature. I am Chinese American, and I have always sought connection. My ancestors have lived in a little village in southern China for hundreds of years. I feel Being close to Earth, meditating all my worries away, breathing the fresh air. The native Americans have always fascinated me due to their connection, especially the shamanic practices.
taoist40 taoist40 what a special family history! Have you had the opportunity to visit the village your family comes from? There is no doubt in my mind that we are all connected.
Shana Leigh No, but I have to at some point. Most of my family in the village have already left or have passed away. I still have family in the states, so I’m not completely alone, but my parents are almost 80.
@@ShanaLeigh Unfortunately, I don't. I have a hard time learning due to severe hearing loss. The tones are difficult to hear. Even English is getting a bit difficult. Maybe getting a shamanic healing session might help.
I love how he added in the part about ayahuasca - like it takes balls to go up and talk about the real spirituality of it all knowing most people in that audience, especially for the year had being 2014, would think it was crazy (myself included at the time). What a wonderful message, and from such a humble spirit 🕊
From the Amazonian rainforest! For him to leave his tribe, come here, learn English, begin public speaking... I think most people wildly underestimate the difficulty of taking on all these tasks, especially in just a few short years... Wow. He has such a strong and calm presence. I'm so proud of him and the impact he's making. Big heart.
Exactly..!! Well agreed with you..!
Yea. People of color can be smart too. Who thunk it?
This is really great. We can learn so much from central and Ssouth America.Planrs, medicine and more
@@ruthrogers808 Yes..!! That is true..!
Right!! What type of tenacity would it take to live in a tribal land and then Brazil, and then London? I hope his message goes far.
I spent two years homeless. In that two years, I spent a quiet a bit of time with nature.First lesson I learned was balance. The rocks taught me to focus and take my time. The trees and vines taught me to walk on the earth with respect. The darkness taught me to use my ears, as sight. We are to the flower as the tree is to us. Imagine a world the trees could walk. Would we not want them to walk on the earth with caution awareness and respect? The flower wishes the same of us. Love all living life!
@Alien X you're welcome! Austin Tx. USA
I experienced being homeless for 4 years & had a powerful experience as well. Although I do not wish to experience that ever again I am a better person because I went thru that.
Rid attachment to material possessions, learned empathy and to love fellow humans and all creatures unconditionally, learned humility in it's purest sense, learned to advocate for myself & members of all marginalized populations, understood for the first time quantum physics; law of attraction, about energy & that our thoughts & beliefs ABSOLUTELY CREATE OUR REALITY. I learned my own strength.
Any one else experience houselessness & wish to share what it was like?.
Your words are so beautifully spoken.
Bless you for the lesson you are passing on xx

I Love his Headress! ALL THOSE AMAZING FEATHERS!!! I've heard they are given, by nature while walking in the Forests, or found naturally. Also, Elders of the Tribe give them for their Bravery or Blessings to others. I love all this ! God Be with his Tribe and Family! Tribe of Yawanawa. (Notice Yawa ~ or equal to "Yah Hey Vav Hey". Just think about it, it's not a conclusion). But I know WE (the World" are all connected, naturally!
I felt his peaceful message is simply "please leave us alone". We just want to live the way we live". He had to learn a different language to do that and here he is. What a beautiful man and a beautiful soul. I hope his people get to keep their forest safe from the western world and all its poison.
As we consider them as Indian , foolish , dum , uneducated in our environment . They think of us the same but they carry great knowledge and he comes from the rain forest of Brasil to share with the world " ayawasca ritual to make contact with your own individual spirit " . that is one way we all humans are connected together by spirit .
Native American tribes have embraced Islamic teachings. They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish colonizers. Native American tribes have known monotheism. And know God. If you are asked who is your God??...The answer is Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and all the blessings He has bestowed. There is no God but Him (Allah). And Allah says in the Qur'an Surah Thaha: 14 'Indeed I am Allah, there is no god but Me, so worship Me and pray to remember Me.
He wants us to help the Native People save the Rainforests & their Culture
Forest was lost long time ago:-(
I’m amazed at HOW FAR outside his confort zone he has came for all of us. The fear to speak in public is massive for people who speak in the language they were brought up and educated. Stage fright. Fear of not belonging. So many real life dangers , facing people’s resistance and apathy, being away from home for years. Not giving up on humanity. Showing up authentically... for the world to witness. We owe him so much for the message in his presence.
And what a privilege to experience that uniqueness and rarity. The indigenous contribution to our planet and collective needs to be honored and protected

@@stealthfur1375 really???? Explain urself and who u are then ??
That was in 2014. What is happening now in Brazil, 5 years later, is absolutely horrendous. The Bolsonaro government is rolling back all protective laws, tribal lands are opened up to mining, ranching, logging etc. We need to support tribal peoples and stand with them against the onslaught that is taking place. Join Survival International, sign petitions, donate, whatever it takes to safeguard their future. They are the ones who have the knowledge and moreover, the attitude that may save us all.
Maybe it will.
But it will take too long and too much will be be lost.
The poles are shifting and to escape the expansion of incorporated society, one may have to travel to the wilds of what was formerly due north with regard to the lands of upper north america. The former due north is, as yet, "uncivilized", in which there are simply "pockets" of organized, technical society.
(no peace💘)
The whole world is under assault. It’s impossible to stop.
Just as of now people are being killed in Mariri Brasil, we should organize a protest aganst mining massive in every country infront of the canadian and American embassies and also stop programmed obsolescence so we dont ravage the entire nature for resources to make and sell more things instead of repairing stuff, clothes etc
Survival international ain't doing anything they use the money for themselves
Where are the allied forces in helping this travesty? After the fact?

The pain, innocence and wisdom in his eyes. 😢 Some may think he is the voice for his tribe. But he is actually voice for each and everyone of us and for our future generations to come.
I agree, you can feel his pain and I also feel it for all of us around the world and for my people in Mexico.
He is there talking to us because they are losing their way of life due to the rapid change in society. They're asking for help, for all of us to be conscious of our impact and even inviting everyone to their home, so we can see with our own eyes how happy they are where they belong. Not in the one that society wants to impose on them.
HE JUST HAS TO OPEN HIS EYES AND REALIZE HES A TRUE ISRAELITE. I THINK THE TRIBE OF RUBEN
In total agreement
No, he is the voice for his entire tribe
@@quetzalcoatul1 what nonsense is this. Our tribes were dissolved, wherever they are they are, and we had to accept this because of the many diasporas that continue since biblical times to this day, yes it is till happening. And if we jews cannot trace the tribes - I can trace my lineage 500years, and not through DNA- if we don't know how would anyone else. That seems fanatical and a very gentile thing to state. If it is true, then that is wonderful, a lost cousin. But the proof could not come through DNA and the story would be sketchy at best. Get back to me - I am from three tribes myself. And a few more that cannot be proved only speculated. But us jews aren't big on lineage, only that we have jewish blood.
"What people need is more love and to understand each other." I truly believe that Indigenous people have a special connection to the Earth and to other people that is very deep a true nature. I think that Nixiwaka is a true warrior for his people back home in his tribe and also for all of us humans who need to stop consuming to fill that void within us, because by doing so we are destroying our home and ourselves. I hear you brother!

@@andreww4751 I know right, Imagine actually believing in and proposing something even if it's not the entirety of the solution, and then some normie sympathizing with it, truly pitiable. But honestly I understand the future of our problems are mind meltingly huge and complex but we need people fighting on the right side against them, and to have the strength to fight for our survival requires a solid and wholesome worldview and value system, for which an awareness of our interconnection and thus the value of understanding and empathy for eachother is a good place to start, and people with worldviews with this as a basis have been capable of immense good. Not enough, obviously, but a lot nonetheless.
@@andreww4751 boo
I, for one, am of the opinion, that a person's deep connection to the land, to nature and the elements are instilled & achieved by the methods in which you are raised; what you are exposed to and what you are taught as well as the environment and stimuli that you arent. The True People who adopted & raised the child whose biological parents hailed from Great Britain or Africa were raised exactly as if they were indeed their biological child as their customs, ways, survival skills, religious beliefs & language were the only ways they knew! It is impossible to teach that which you have no knowledge of. One's DNA, country of origin and the superficial coloring of our physical features are completely insignificant for we are All simply Ghosts driving an incredibly fragile flesh covered skeleton for a undetermined period of time with no warranty and no guarantee except that your license seems to expire way too fast..
We are of Earth.
We Are People.
We are all Human beings.
By some amazing stroke of luck, this American got to do a ceremony with some representatives of the Yawanawa tribe. It was one of the most joyful experiences of my life. I realized our western arrogance towards how indigenous people live, and how we've got it backwards: they know infinitely more than us about living a meaningful, peaceful, joyful life.
Leon Campise, Awesome! 💞
Amen man. I would love to stay with them for a weekend or have a night to just live their life and learn from them.
Did you learn anything? About yourself or life?
That is incredible! I assume you had the strong drink what was your experience from that?
Leon, as did I. I just came back from living with the Yawanawa for 10 days. Life changing.
Do they truly know more about living a happy life? Or are they simply infinitely more happy because they are removed from everything that makes us unhappy? I've always known or at least had a suspicion that people who live remotely or indigenously are happier because in their world there are no worries. Living naturally as they do there just simply is no room for unhappiness.
We need people like this in our governments.
Which is why governments won't let that EVER happen.

Gentle masculinity is incredibly beautiful. I had moments of it modelled for me when I was a child, but it was so very little. I wish I had someone this tremendously tender in my life, who happened to be a man, too. It would have been so healing.
I just heard a podcast about the fragility of our western civilization and how people have lost their knowledge of survival techniques. The speaker suggested that after a collapse many would gravitate to indigenous tribal areas to survive. These are the only people on earth who know how to survive in nature without electricity, man made medicines and supermarkets. It is in our own best interest to respect and protect these tribes.
Native American tribes have embraced Islamic teachings. They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish colonialists. Native American tribes have served Allah.

@@d.i.713 exactly
Dawn Irish
I would disagree. There’s a perception that masculinity has to mean aggression, anger, lack of harmony, volatility, intolerance, strong-mindedness and stubbornness- that’s simply the western contortion of masculinity. Masculinity can be gentle and kind and strong and loving and wonderfully tender all at once, just as femininity can be.
Anything else simply holds people back from being the beautiful people they can be.

@@tomwatson3735 You do not need to feel guilty about the past.

Curious Diva not all the tribes whatever save mine or ours they look at things that we as a culture today as I speak here in the United States clear-cutting is Extreme example of what's going on in South America I live in Colombia South America I speak Spanish I learned in 3 months I learn to read and write in about a year proficiently I saw a different side of these people the way they treated the indigenous people in Colombia was horrible they leave them in the streets and let their children breastfeed right in front of them you just walked by them like they didn't exist still happens in the United States to this day they treat the American Indian with contempt most cultures do cuz they want them to broaden their ways just suit the way they do act & Speech

Nicholas Napier Totally agree. Native people are badly treated here in Canada too. And that have to change NOW! All around the globe, the aboriginals are the protectors of mother Earth and the keepers of sacred knowledges. But I believe and I sense that the people of the Earth are slowly opening their eyes and their hearts... and that a new era is coming! ☆
OUR LAND!!!!!! Til the white man arrives
I love how he’s comfortable in his skin in front of such a different world, and so ready to share. Thank you for bringing awareness about the rainforest and its people.
beautifully said
I actually cried when he said his door is always open. I want to drop everything and go and see if this natural life cures or helps my many chronic illnesses. I’m 25 next month and already have a hysterectomy and can’t hold a job because of my other, worse medical issues. I’ve always been an outdoorsy person and I’ve always felt more connected with nature and the animals than the society we live in today. I don’t even know who I am, I have no spirituality, and I don’t know what to do with my life. I already feel it’s over. I don’t have the money or support to do things like this, but I wish I could.
I hope that an opportunity finds you and allows for you to spend time with nature. I really do!
I'm with you man. Just remember that you are never alone even if it feels like it. Any day here on earth with the rest of life, even if isolated, is still home. Sending you love on your journey.
lets goooo coz same. We aren't supposed to live like this.
do an ayahuasca retreat with them ! it can cuee and you support them in the meantime

There is some really rare beauty and sadness in his eyes.
Smilaz Musik Ik he’s VERY serious
Smilaz Musik yeah I’m glad someone noticed and commented
TCT Damn man good call...
What you all see in this man as beautiful, is the same thing that you have lost, because you live with technology.
@TCT It's not to the people who are destroying it dummy. It's for every one else... he did just invite you to go visit...
I have fantasized many times how life could be so much joy if we would leave in a tribal world, where your main priority would be waking up to find something to hunt or gather for our family and our self, be able to explore & wander without been concern on how to pay your taxes, get the newest phone, decide what to dress, worry if you are praying to right God. All of these things the just seem unnecessary if one compares.
Rafa Lo, keep fantasizing, your fantasy shall be your reality is you so wish. 💞
Rafa Lo now you have got someone else fantasizing 😊
That was a beautiful comment.
it is how we were meant to live.
Similar social conventions and stress that exist in your society also exist in tribal societies. I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both a western modern way of life and a tribal traditional way of life. I don’t think I fit in either one of them. The western modern way is too stressful, too materialistic, too disingenuous and detached from the natural way of life. However my tribal culture is too misogynistic where I as a woman felt and was treated like a second class citizen, I didn’t have equal opportunity to education as my male relatives and the gender roles are quite restrictive. However, I love my traditions, my culture’s connection to nature and spirituality and so many other things. I guess I just have to be greatful for being able to be exposed to such different lifestyles and it’s up to me to find my place in the universe just as I pray that you will find that world & life you fantasise about! 🙂
This helped me more understand that we are all family and stewards of the earth. You can hear the sincerity of his voice and strength of his soul. We could all learn a lot from our brother.
Too bad we can’t get more on board to think this way. I appreciate your words.
Religions have torn each other apart. Destroyed the main objective.
To live as one with the earth that was created by a power bigger than ourselves that we will only know through living our lives and respecting nature.
Not just wild nature but nature in all of us humans.
“We live because we have the forest.”
Awesome talk. Awesome message. These people live symbiotically with nature, treating it with respect and only taking what they need. We could learn a lot from them.
Hey gorgeous
Lauren Ellis The border between "us" and "them" is a very strange story the tribes of "western civilisation" tell each other.
You as well live in symbiosis with nature.
If you destroy it you destroy yourself.
What a strange culture that destroys itself and everything beautiful with it.
Human kind died the moment we lost our connection with nature
Died but also killed everything around. And it’s still happening
We all didn't
Yes. There are some people connected but not enough
There is still hope Ms. Bella.
a useful way to see it: human 'kind'. It's true. if we lose sight of the reciprocity with nature we lose sight of ur nature. our 'kind' nature indeed
Bless his heart. He keeps trying to remember to say "West" instead of "White" when we really know about the full impact (good and BAD) if we're honest. Precious.
Facts
Why say west if, for him, it's really north? You really hate white ppl so much?
His eyes shine like diamonds.
His words and song touch me deeply.
The headdress and face paint accentuate his powerful spirit.
I am blessed to see this today!
His unspoiled nature! His innocence and inner peace! I feel bad about myself watching this, but I found my happiness in his story, I felt like something is calling me to go back to where I belong, nature... Let's get back to our nature, let's get rid of this materialistic world and start living for our people and our land, for our earth. People let's do something, let's take a step and change our world, does anyone have an idea how we can get started ?
GS GS. I like how you think. I try to be kind to others, interact with different cultures by being respectful and asking questions while embracing the diversity. Recycle and dont destroy Mother Earth.
If you find an answer let me know!
GS GS To go back to the earth and to our nature I recommend to love yourself, choose healthy habits, eat lots of veggies, love and respect not only people but animals as well. Don't let the media brainwash you, you don't need all the junk they make you believe you need, lots of makeup, clothing, tech devices and so on. Keep it simple, technology can help us sometimes, but don't depend on it. If you do that you will suddenly realize you have more time, spend it doing something that makes you feel useful and happy. Build a relationship with God, by praying, meditating, doing community work, whatever makes you feel your life has a purpose, because we all have a purpose in life. Hope you find it.
GS GS yes I do. Start showing love to everyone and everything around u. Watch how people learn from u.
Go to the forest, it will teach you everything. All your ancestors have lost was once taken from you as well. Go back to nature. It’s the only way.

His message is simple.
One Life
One heart

one truth.

We can live with many different tribes, with different truths, and yet in peace with each other.
Yes correct It’s “ the law of one”
We are all connected humans, animals, trees etc.
@@juniortavai7084 I'm not sure what you mean by _"the law of one",_ but from what i know, *there are no laws* but those we humans formulate. There are truths, however. That you exist is a truth, for example. Energy is another truth. Consciousness, or all that is, is another truth. Now, i do know that we create conditions to experience from such as gravity, and the many limitations we human beings experience from our perception. These are not laws, however, for they are not absolutes.

Thank you, Yawanawá warrior! ❤️
I immediately fell in love with the energy he radiates. Confidence + humility, Pride + hope, and pure love. The world needs more people like him, and I hope the spark in his eyes never dies out.
Interesting when he said that the shaman has to ask the plant for permission in order for the medicinal properties to work.
Indigo 360 Pitiful really
My people (Lakota), do the same thing. We ask permission of the animals and plants to consume them, honor them for their sacrifice.
Why? Because they are living beings, with lives and memories. Our brothers and sisters.
So it makes sense to speak to the plants and animals before we pick and hunt them.
i thought that was one of the most beautiful moments of the talk
@@waterheaterservices no, you're pitiful.
@colleeen holy ..This is similar to the scene in AVATAR when she thanks the animal that they will eat for his sacrifice
Wow, as a Mexican-American this really touches me. We are indigenous to this continent and if anything, we are the future.
Indigenous AND part Christian colonizer. Mestizo. The is a situation I sometimes think gringos are incapable of understanding. The real meaning of La Raza. Although I've seen racism against indios by mestizos in Mexico, namely in Chiapas. Worse than white racism because it denies the connections and debts to our ancestors.
believing to be the future is what the conquistadors thought about themselves.
@@squirlmy getting past the guilt of that indoctrinated self hatred and fully forgiving ourselves to opening up and reconnecting to our roots is part of doing the work.

You've experienced the joy of it and that is a blessing that most kids are robbed of - they are never taught how to connect or shown the things around them. So its extremely sad for those like yourself who have known and lost - but also very sad for those who never got to know it at all.

Everyone who reads this comment will realize we are in extreme spiritual turmoil and by denying our own spirit we deny the importance of our physical form. We kill because we forget that a spirit lives inside. Please just for one second remember what you know to be true - we are spirits. The flesh houses a spirit. All flesh houses a spirit.
we kill because we forget a spirit is inside..what?
@@Oakami IMO, Because we have been socialized in the scientific paradigm. But, is this necessarily always valid in different circumstances?
If you were socialized different (culture, place, time, status) you would be asking different questions. 100 years from now we will be asking questions based on our socialization based on place, time, culture, status. It is a dynamic question...different answers for different times.
Plant houses Spirit, too. That's what the man was saying.
He speaks english very well and his love of nature could save the world, if we will listen. Thank-you Nixiwaka Yawanawa!

There is so much hate and power in this world people have just lost themselves. It’s time to find yourself and start healing others. I really hope more people share this video ❤️✨
We need more people to open their eyes and recognize the fact that we are living in a subjective reality. Western civilization is based upon the ideology that a "civilized" lifestyle is the best way to live, and that it is the key to 'fulfillment'.
However, I think a majority of humanity can agree that these fast-paced lifestyles are not derived from the true intent of the heart. Its not our faults that we've been born into these lifestyles, but you are at fault if you choose to live in ignorance.
At some point in time we have lost our touch with the real world, and with our true selves.
Please, search inside of yourself and realize that you are a savage at heart. You are an animal and its okay to embrace it.

He speak with Nature.
Everyone must .
It takes a strong spirit to do what he did. Most people can’t even imagine leaving the comforts of their homes to go somewhere that has a completely different array of languages and societal norms. And to do it without looking down on us but rather with an openness to understanding. I think we’re all brainwashed monsters who don’t give a eff about how we effect other people with our daily routines. But maybe I’m just too cynical.
This mans spirit really spoke to me without needing words. Just him even standing up in front of a crowd already spoke enough.
Not to mention he’s pretty hot

A beautiful man and soul. We must protect him, his tribe and all the tribes/indigenous of South America.
So Did u do anything other than make this comment?
For some reason, seeing this man brought tears to my eyes. For the lost cultures, for his tribe, and for every other people destroyed by the white Westerners. Westerners have brought nothing to the world but the idea of money and destruction of everything for the sake of some profit masked as progress. Not an ounce of spirituality or appreciation for anything other than that. But now they are all losing themselves in Goa and what not, tripping in their minds that they are masters of yoga and mindfulness, but only because and while it is trendy.
To claim that literally all westerners and stuff that came from the West is ridiculous.
The concept of many existed in many non western societies.
You rant against colonialism and capitalism, then sure, you *are* correct.
He speaks truth. Try going camping in rural setting without electronics or modern comforts. You will experience authentic peace and wholeness.
I bursted in tearswhen I heard him sing the song at the end. I didn’t know where it came from, I just felt deep connection and nostalgia. Does anybody here felt the same or is it just me?
It's the frequency, all energy. It literally sends a signal (vibration) to the spirit, thus the "we are all connected". Nature will do this as well. Even living in a big city, going out at night or during the day. When showing pure appreciation to all of nature it shows appreciation right back. ✌️❤️🌏⚖️🙏♾️
I feel it everyday. I cry everyday for Mother Earth and for the human race to find balance and respect again.

Wow, yes. I'm not someone who cries very often, but this did it for me. It was beautiful.
Imagine that: asking the plant consciousness for healing- for the medicine to be effective. An honor to hear him speak. Perhaps someone will do a documentary on him at home…
Only a simple, openhearted soul with a strong connection to nature can be like this young man. Just look at his eyes and you can see everything he feels. Great speech!

My father taught me how to be at one with nature. He loved all animals, all living creatures, plants, rocks, mountains, the ocean, you name it, he loved it. I learned that from him. I can’t imagine not having that love, nor the spiritual communion it brings. Of course, give. What most humans have done to the earth in their greed, with that love comes pain. I very much enjoyed this wonderful talk.
Mon Papa René COUTURE.
Il est comme ça.
Sharon, you were blessed to have had a very evolved father, mine isn’t so much. Overall as humans we don’t LOVE enough, our fellow humans, the animal kingdom, Mother Earth should be sacred yet not fully understood, were is it taught? It’s all fragmented learnings, so I encouraged my children to research the answers to questions, to always be curious, to understand, & to be kind & compassionate. It was my best endeavour to equip my children to ask about who, what, where and why, and to never assume complacency in life, as nothing is guaranteed.
It amazes me how kind his voice is in the midst of describing how his world is being plundered by those outside of the forest he loves so much.
What would being angry prove? What would sounding desolate prove? Nothing. It would only appear forced. We live in such a fake world....
"What we need is more love and understanding of each other". LISTEN. TO. THIS. MAN. Love...both given and recieved is ALL WE REALLY ARE! We aren't the darkness that makes us think love is not enough.
He’s a vibrational soul before we even knew what high-vibe means lol
I felt that
I feel so disconnected to the system I was born into. Although I try my best to bring awareness to people and stand up for Mother Earth, I feel that I will only feel truly free when I am living with a tribe and living by the land
What you all see in this man as beautiful, is the same thing that you have lost, because you live with technology.
It is true Kaithleen
Me too. I would feel better if i left the western lifestyle for a better more meaningful tribal way of living. In touch with mother earth.
I say this all the time 🐞
I felt the same way like you do. I simply left from Western world and live simple and close to nature life in Brazil. I recommend for everybody!
Most struck by his love for humanity and peace. Though all this is happening he chooses to bring change through love - not anger. True wisdom
I'm from Brazil and my heart is broken for all those problems caused by our society. Good job Nixiwaka. God bless you.
I wish I could encourage more people to watch this. It's so important to learn about indigenous people and also learn from them. I'm Native American, and I have always felt so connected to nature, my ancestors, and learning about different cultures. It's amazing your tribe is so open to inviting people to learn. I hope that I can go in the future. And I hope that our societies can solve the land and environmental issues. Thank you for this talk and for sharing. :)
Shana Leigh I feel called to nature. I am Chinese American, and I have always sought connection. My ancestors have lived in a little village in southern China for hundreds of years. I feel Being close to Earth, meditating all my worries away, breathing the fresh air. The native Americans have always fascinated me due to their connection, especially the shamanic practices.
taoist40 taoist40 what a special family history! Have you had the opportunity to visit the village your family comes from? There is no doubt in my mind that we are all connected.
Shana Leigh No, but I have to at some point. Most of my family in the village have already left or have passed away. I still have family in the states, so I’m not completely alone, but my parents are almost 80.
@@taoist32 You should definitely go! Do you speak any Chinese? I heard it's difficult to travel outside of major cities there without it.
@@ShanaLeigh Unfortunately, I don't. I have a hard time learning due to severe hearing loss. The tones are difficult to hear. Even English is getting a bit difficult. Maybe getting a shamanic healing session might help.

I love how he added in the part about ayahuasca - like it takes balls to go up and talk about the real spirituality of it all knowing most people in that audience, especially for the year had being 2014, would think it was crazy (myself included at the time).
