I am native American , Mikhmaq and Houmas . Also Dutch . I know nothing of the three cultures . I am thinking on investigating them all . I was raised in Louisiana's Cajun Culture which is pretty interesting but not in my blood . I am a Melting Pot American . I have an amalgamated mongrel culture .
Both my mother and father were Francophones . In the forties they were punished for speaking French anywhere on campus at anytime . It was so traumatic for them that they taught me only English .
Yeah yeah yeah , I look more Dutch than Indian ....until you see my grandfather ...he looks like me but no facial hair . Turns out there are indians of all coloration in North America . I had heard that we were Native but as I have brown hair and olive skin I thought it was probably just talk likw it is for all of those descendents of Cherokee Princesses . Later it was proven true . I will divulge that I am Native but I feel a bit fake doing it . Thats because my family asssimilated 3 generations ago . I was not raised Native . I am a genetic Indian only .
I don't care what race a person is, its difficult knowing who or what we are. Identity, ya. I'm still searching and I'm 60. But I think it begins within. Honoring self with integrity, holding true to those things that are honorable. My word is true and can be counted on. That I believe is the only Identity need be in a world of deceit.
Volkswagen Beetles had a great jacking system, a piece of heavy pipe welded to the frame, you didn't have to lay down to get the jack in the right spot.
Oscar Howe, the groundbreaking indigenous artist, was getting attention about this time. He died 3 years later. The "joke" about the BIA & Custer at 15:41 is so spot on.. 38:00+ My friend from a South Dakota reservation always accused me of running on "Indian time" because I was usually late. Didn't matter, because he was never ready either..😆
The DVD omits several things in the scene that intercuts between the meeting with the Indians in Charlie's office and Rossi talking to the BIA guy: the introductions in Charlie's office, blisters on their feet, asking how much coverage the Trib gave to Indians, harmony with nature and Indians being caretakers of the land, and all the treaties being broken. When Lou says we don't have the figures right now (about the coverage), it sounds like he's talking about what's happening in South America.
MEDALS are not in every culture used. Take the old Confederacy. There they also used no medals and in the first Olympic games they gave the winners a Laurel Wreath to wear and to take home
I am Native American , Mihkmaq and Hounas , and Dutch ....I know nothi g about the Dutch culture and nothing about my Native cultures... my family firstly assimilated to the French Acadian culture 5hen to The Anglo American culture .... my heritage is acknowleged but not well known or understood . Isn't that a shame ?
Also a good one. Whished they could had kept the boy the show as Animals trainee. Wished they had done a follow up story. The KÄFER ( Bug ) Chassy itself still was a Bauhaus Design form before World War ii. That was in the time Ferdinand Porsche wanted to get in the Economy Car market but the economical bad situations in Germany had stopped that idea.
26:06 WE WANT CONTROLL OF OUR PROPERTIES ... Indeed many States in the USA and earlier even the federal institutions had argued up to the Seventies mostly with the socalled TERRA NULLUS ( Latin for No Land ) for the Natives policy that has slowly changed in the last decades depending on the change in valuing the rights of Indian Americans. That had been thematised here.
Well, Columbus Day is no longer celebrated in many communities. Instead, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day. Columbus' statues are being removed, same as Confederate soldiers. It's a start. Long over due, though.

@@pooddescrewch8718 Go to a Pow Wow. Talk to Indian people there. You will feel something different happening in yourself.
I've always loved that theme song.

No one seems to know in the States that those ones had the same motor as a German Wehrmanchts Car.
@@rogerlynch5279 Which "German Wehrmanchts Car" would that be?

Yeah , i can hear it now
THE DVD uses the same cuts I know from the version aired on Gerrman TV. so your info is rather interesting to me
Very few smiling faces in this episode
Is that the kid from the last season of Chico and the Man?
Microphone in frame 37’10”
37.04... Tell the director there is a microphone on screen.
That probably didn't show on the little tube Televisions back then.
Great Episode. Something I don't understand, if Raymond wanted to honor Animal, why did He give the medallion to His other friend ?.
It's probably a Native American tradition that only makes sense to you if you grew up with it?

It honors another when you give something away in their name.

Of all the things our government could do to make amends, the very least is to denounce Columbus day!

Boom microphone in the shot at 37:01 :)
I hope you have found a new hobby in the last 8 years .
"How much space did the Tribune give to Indians last year?" Why do they have to give them any?
Why give anyone any space? There are people who are interested and who care.
Why do they have to give any groups space? But they do, so why not Native American issues?
Mrs pinch any
Indians? How about native Americans.
They were called Indians until the last decade.
