Watching this really hurts my heart, yet I am filled with so much love for my People. I have lived 3/4 of a Century, and I remember growing up on the Rez, listening to my "Hootsie" (Grandma) she was over 100 years old then, she died at 118 years old. She would tell us kids stories about seeing the first white man in her life, and how they used to see a wagon train going through their lands. Instead of what the movies portray, she said they would go down and walk beside the whites. She told of how sorry they felt for them, how skinny the little white kids were with hardly any clothes on, and how they would give them food to eat. Show them a easier way to travel through to California, and help them as much as they could. It was nothing like the Movies and Stories the Non-Indians told. It was mostly lies they told, about the Tribal Peoples actual feelings and what they did to help them. I can remember her saying how sorry she felt to see the little white kids barefooted and so skinny, walking along the way, and the stories of what happened. Some so sad, and the way they started sending in the Calvary Men to "force them" to move away. Some stories I don't like to even remember, and my own Father's stories are so sad too. The Tribal People were/are a real loving people, who like to laugh a lot and tell stories about funny things that happened. They like to tease each other and pull jokes on each other. The Non-Native People have hardly any true idea's about the Tribes actual ways, and their inner respect for the land and all living animal life. Today I know the plants, and flowers i can eat and use for medicines, and make tea to drink for different things your body needs. What to do for insect bites, cuts, and things like that. I learned from my Father mostly as I spent a lot of time with him as we worked our cows. He started Ranching when I was young enough to learn,and old enough to try and keep up with him. Today is not like the older times, it is almost another world. I have lived long enough to see the good and bad in people that I could not see before. My belief in our Creator God comes mostly from my Father, and my inner Faith is very deep. We know that there is only One Creator, and He made All Mankind. We knew this before the White Man came to the America's. I believe this is what gave the Tribal Peoples their Honor and Love of the Truth. And so today, I am not so worried about tomorrow or about the world. I will be happy when I am called into the Sky away from this world. Just my thoughts in watching this film.
Dear Anne....... I have always held native American values and cultures in high regard.... the natives represented a peaceful, enlightened culture 2000 yrs old at their zenith when the Europeans arrived, all the prejudice, betrayal, hypocrisy, and injustice was " Christian fueled " ....... indigenous peoples are invariably closer to GOD
I extend an Irish blessing and the hand of friendship to you Anne and all Native Americans who ever lived... May the wonderful spirit of your ancestors live on in each one of you and guide you through all eternity... Beannacht "On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders and you stumble, may the clay dance to balance you. And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window and the ghost of loss gets in to you, may a flock of colours, indigo, red, green and azure blue come to awaken in you a meadow of delight. When the canvass frays in the curach of thought and a stain of ocean blackens beneath you, may there come across the waters a path of yellow moonlight to bring you safely home. May the nourishment of the earth be yours, may the clarity of light be yours, may the fluency of the ocean be yours, may the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life..." John O' Donohue
The majority of the people in this video are not real native Americans they are known as five dollar Indians I am a Florida Seminole Indian being Native American is more than dancing in the dirt and wearing feathers
@@jelliottnesss I like to study about pre columbian meso-american culture. For the people that lived on that land for 15,000 years. It felt sad to see that the thereotype just got modern people to think they are just "savage". However, new generations of people are awakening. Im happy to see that you are proud of your heritage. Please keep it up, dont let it get lost in time. 👍

But the magic of life is that you are always in the past even while you are in the present. When you look up at the stars you are looking at the past for the stars are a billion years old and Earth our Mother when you walk through her forest and upon the face of her you are walking on the past in the present time. Each time you take a trip you are traveling in the past at the present to arrive in the future of the past. The number one beauty of the Creator is that the circle will never be unbroken. It is why my people and all native people reverence the circle of life. This is the real path of a true human being. All of us are related and you are all beautiful in our own true nature. Our thoughts are in control of our hearts and therefore become stagnant and corrupt and then we believe that we are different from all other cultures and creatures of the same Creator. Just because balloons are different shapes and sizes and colors at the end of the day the same air is always in each balloon.
Well allot of you are diluted with European blood, that you guys are fading away like the Neanderthals did; theory they said with Neanderthals is they were more in direct terms fucked out of existence.
But the fact "the new Americans" tried to achieve such a brutal goal is a historical travesty and have been trying to "hide" the severity of their actions ever since. After all how can a country call itself "the land of the free" if it were born out of the deaths of that land's indigenous people?
I'm part native American and proud. I have a rare last name that is Yancy and, it dates back to a native American baby name. Don't worry God will repopulation us because, there are still some natives left on islands🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥺❤️💕
I’m not Native American, but every time i see about their history, it really saddens me that it wasn’t preserved. There’s so much that we will never get to know about these people, and some will be left forgotten. It saddens me even more that it was not to long ago someone could’ve helped them, and yet nobody did. So much lost in such little time. And the after effects just hurts my heart. I wish there was something I could do now.
@@sharadjain2463 The Europeans have learnt their lessons the hard way after losing a lot of their people in multiple wars. They know what hatred and discrimination is eventually gonna lead upto and do not want the rest of the world to follow the same path as them. I personally believe that we should take lessons from European history of what should we not do if we want to accelerate the progress of our country.
I'm from the United States and have seen quite a few comments from Indians on videos about Native Americans, much more than I've noticed on other videos in general. Do you guys learn about Native Americans in school and if so, to what extent? Or have you learned what you know from researching on your own? I see the connections between things that happened in Indian and things that happened in North America
My Grandma use to tell me about our people back in the old days when she was a child. How she was mistreated when she went to white mans school. We are Onondaga from the Iroquois Nation.
Yeah the catholic schools really destroyed many first nations children, many of them raped, beaten and had their mouths washed out with soup cause they spoke they're native language, they're hair cut, and indoctrinated.
My great grandma was Sioux Native and I am also Munsee. Before the settlers came my ancestors were living as natives as Munsee. Wolf Tribe of the Lenape.
Clark Rechner you are what your father is Numbers 1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
My mother taught me how to make this rhythm on a quacker oat meal box. Then I was taught to create sound with a blade of grass held between the palms of my hands. The knowledge they passed on is the greatest gift I will ever receive.
Someone who live today and uses phone etc etc cannot be caled native american if u are a native american u would be living like them. Actually im soo sorry im just jealous i was born at these generation in some MDF STUPID CZECH REPUBLIC i wish i would be a native american 300year ago and live like them😔
My biggest respect and admiration to the Native Americans. The Irish do not forget our brothers and sisters from the Choctaw tribe who donated to the famine aid while most of the world turned their backs. I would one day like to pay my respects too. Peace and love ✌🏼💕
I believe that It is a True music that is connected to God directly... I listen to Native american music almost every night... It is one of the peaceful sounds that quiets my dog and settles him down right away....and dogs ae connected to God's Creation....
Their clothes, their hairstyles, their adornments, their facial features possessed so much character, they were truly the original rock stars.! I live in a small town in New England where many native tribes lived and wish I could go back 1000 then 3000, 5000, 8000 then 10,000 to witness their lives, so fascinating.
I completed a Native American Literature course recently, and have grown obsessed with learning as much of the Native Culture that I can. I have always read of the physical traditions, but never spent a lot of time attempting to understand the oral tradition. Such beautiful culture and language. And the connection to the land is unparalleled in beauty.
I live near the Cherokee Nation. Visit tribal land before you romanticize the American Indian. You'll be disgusted at how these tribes with giant casino's and hundreds of millions of dollars barely do anything for their tribes in spreading that wealth.
@@ascendingneet2263 The Eastern Band of Cherokee's tribal council is making hundreds of millions every year from Harrah's casino. I know this because I used to be their banker. That money is in trust for the Cherokee that live on the reservation. It is supposed to be distributed each year to each resident. If you drive through the reservation, the native peoples that live there are living hand to mouth. It looks like a third world country. There is graft, greed and corruption in my opinion.
@@christschool I wish the money could go toward re teaching the lost traditions to those who wished to learn too. Or maybe toward buy more land to become tribal land.
@@the.reel.mccoy. Some of the money is used for exactly that purpose. The Cherokee do spend some money on their schools to teach tradition and to keep the language alive as well. Right now, they have far more land than they utilize. Native tribes are the largest landholders in N. America by far. Google for a US map that shows you tribal land. Many people would be shocked at just how much land they own because the narrative leads people to believe they have little land when the opposite is true. On a combined basis, tribal lands are about the size of Texas when pieced together.
Im not a Native American but I have always looked up to the Spiritual nature of these beautiful people. I appreciate the respect they have for the Earth and Gods creations. They will always hold a special place in my Heart and mind. When I think hero I think Native Americans. I found this video after searching to learn more about this culture.
rbeck3200tb40 - Who are you talking to? What are you answering? I don't see anything in this thread to which your statements pertain. So... How about you answer my questions? Furthermore, what are your credentials as a historian? From where did you get your degree? Final point, your grammar is atrocious.
Mobitron btw pagans are cultures who worship idols like spirits. This included native Americans, tribal Africans, and some old cultures in the Middle East.
rbeck3200tb40 "read the reality i bothered to educate you with" - I saw no reality, I saw no education, I saw no explanation on any one of your points - I just saw drivel you spouted in angst against a group you've still not clarified your points about. Do you have reading troubles? Which brings me to... You say you're a historian, but you've not cited any credentials for the claim, nor do you show any real reasoning in your statements, so I call utter bullshit. I can't even call your crap an argument because it's just vague hand-waving statements showing your disdain for the native tribes. I already asked you the questions, so you should already know what I'm asking, as they are listed above in this thread saved in a comment chain beneath a RUclips video, but since you appear have problems with reading comprehension or retention, here goes one more time. "Explain to me how they were "evil pagan savages" and what you mean by that. How were they evil, how were they savages?" I won't ask about pagan again because you appear to simply mean they didn't follow main world religions. So instead, I'll ask you how being pagan makes you dislike them? What's wrong with being pagan? Should they be Christian instead? How about Muslim? Or how about Hindu? Taoist? Would that qualify them as non-pagan and make you dislike them less? Truly, I am curious. Please, spell it out for this obviously so ignorant little child.
As old as the footage is, it’s even cooler to think how you’re not just getting a glimpse into 100-150 years ago but actually thousands when you consider how much of so many different tribes/people’s culture & traditions remained unchanged passed down generation after generation for the longest time.
They made the last stand in the west. By the time these videos were made, 200 years of colonialism had already encroached their lands. Everyone knows the tribes west of the Mississippi. The eastern tribes will remain a mystery to most.
Much of our traditions didn't get passed down. Colonization, Assimilation, forced removal, assasination, massacres, residential schools, racism. We are making efforts to restore and pass down what we can, but we lost so much of our ways through the continued genocide against the tribes. Oklahoma and other politicians are actually trying and succeeding in changing laws to "disestablish" tribes. 45yrs after my grandmother told me that growing up she couldn't tell people she was Cherokee due to racism where her family had lived. I'm beyond heartbroken at what could be gone before my grandchildren could grow to learn about their ancestral ties to the original people of these lands. I'm heartbroken for my ancestors who survived the Trail of Tears and what they went through and all tribes went through. I'm no longer wondering if our tribes will no longer legally exist in the near future. It's legally happening and in various ways always has and doesnt stop due to greed for power, land, resources and unfortunately far too many bystanders seeing it and not realizing how it will affect them even if not Native American. That every voice matters and Native American's are less than 1% of the population that once was the only population.
They didn’t have horses till like around 1700 so their life would have been different. Horses drastically changed how the Indians hunted and fought other tribes. I’m amazed the Indians had Sign language idk it was taught in school and shown in movies but never fully registered to me until I saw the old clip video of Indians doing PISL (plains Indians sign language) they where called together to persevere their culture b/c none of the young men were learning it and that was before they were sending Indian kids to catholic schools. My relative Mountain chief from the Blackfeet tribe is in it doing PISL. He is also the man listening to the record in this video above, my mom has a picture of it hanging in her bedroom since I was a kid.
There’s a lot that has changed about Natives over the course of European interaction actually. Some very popular dances are actually 150ish years old. The materials used in certain attire only came into tradition pretty recently as well.
@JiM Beamer btw have u heard of missing and murdered women my auntie is In there so yea my auntie was murdered they lit her in fire and her murder is closed because they cant find who did this I don't remember her I don't think I was born yet but yea
I'm mexican and seeing this video makes me proud of my indigenous side. Although they were not specifically from that tribe, the Aztec too wore big feather hats and looked similar to them.
As an English person, it makes me incredibly glad to hear you are proud to be Lakota. I'm deeply sorry for what my ancestors did to your people and your cousins across the continent. It is an eternal shame. I find it heartbreaking and I hope to see a great movement for justice and a revival of Native power and cultures in the future.
@@dreamer2260 you shouldn't have to apologize. it wasnt your fault, you had zero control over it, theres nothing to blame you over or apologize for. but being able to agree that what they did was horrible and to make an attempt to heal wounds is what everybody needs to do :)
@@okthen4912 Thanks; I don’t feel any personal guilt of course. But I do feel some shame, not only at how people of my culture and country behaved in the past but how these issues and indigenous rights are still so overlooked. I can’t help feeling some small sense of collective shame and responsibility for this; I think that’s to some extent natural and a good thing because as you say if more people felt that way, indigenous peoples would be in a better situation.
@@dreamer2260 Don't grovel, its unbecoming of a man. The Lakota fought hard - often brutally, in fact. Your white ancestors feared them. It was a long hard fight and the stronger man won.
I’m not native american but I wanted to be more educated about their culture. everything is extremely beautiful- the head wear, the music, the clothes just wow. it breaks my heart that this was all taken from them
Oh shut the hell up, their violence in the americas had to be stopped either way. You act like invasions are uncommon, yet you choose to be ignorant in the fact that there's still 6 other continents besides the americas.
i’m not native american but i find the culture and history so interesting. i’m ashamed that the land was stolen and that they have been mistreated for so long. i respect all of you
@@peyxander How can you steal something that you won by fighting a war? You don't hear people say that Turkey "stole" Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) because they conquered it through warfare same with millions of other examples throughout human history.
@@peyxander There are multiple levels to a war that go beyond just physical violence, such as diplomatic and economic warfare, you can argue that there was dishonorable acts committed etc. but at the end of the day the natives lost the war by getting put into situations that allowed them to be crippled by the treaties broken or kept.
I'm Australian and the history of indigenous people here is the same. Many tragedies and atrocities perpetrated against them by colonists and their land and wealth being robbed.
Yes was and so many other countrys belonged to other people that was taken from them to its natural for animals which humans are to fight over territory like wolf's its just the bigger smarter stronger pack will always win
I am from Ethiopian descent but man oh man the native Americans are one of the most prescious civilizations to have lived. I adore and admire. respect and will always show homeage to you and ur beautiful culture. my heart hurts for the destruction that was put on ur peoples livelihood...but thank God your children are still here walking and breathing
I am of Native American Cherokee descent, 1/4th by blood. Being an open minded person who believes in equality and peace for all mankind/womankind. I to feel remorse over the atrocities that have befallen other people from different ethnic backgrounds such as the Africans/African Americans; Jewish Ashkenaz meaning "Germany" or with German/European background and the Sephardim or "Hispanic" ("Sefarad" meaning "Hispania" or "Iberia" in Hebrew, denoting their Portuguese and Spanish base. Many different people have suffered at the hands of other people and their endless need for greed. To the point of total genocide almost in many cases. The Native American people were numbered at around 60 million when Columbus first set foot on these lands. Within just years afterwards our people only numbered 800,000. Your kind words and openminded heart are very appreciated. And contrary to what Mr. Zie Money'(below) believes is the true origin the Indigenous Native American people, they are believed to originate from Asia, not Africa. Although, as in all cultures, many ethnicities have united together and produced offsprings together. That does not have anything to do with their original origins though. You seem to be a very intelligent young lady and that is why I thought to share and reply to your message. Thank you for your thoughts and your time. Sincerely, Penny Wells-Hodges.
Actually, Mr. Zie Money, the Indigenous Native American people are believed to have originated from Asia, not Africa. And lessening the fact that our people were once 60 million and then reduced to 800,000 is something that can not be hidden, nor made to "look less" than what it really was. And that was an atrocious attempt at complete genocide of the Native Americans by other people that were intent on taking land that they knew to be extremely fertile and that the lands they lived on were abundant in wild game. Their lust for more and greed came at any and all costs to the people. Thank you. Sincerely, Penny Wells-Hodges
I'm not certain of all the Scientific facts Mr. Zie Money. There is much debate on all the worlds humans origins. One observation is that each and everyone of of us regardless of color originates from Africa, around the region that is now known as Ethiopia. Some even say that this is the original site of "The Garden of Eden." I am open minded to all possibilities on any matter and enjoy talking with others on topics that interest me. Regardless, during the times of "The Trail of Tears" the Native Americans, Europeans (whites), African Americans,etc. were classified as people of different ethnic backgrounds. The exact blood lineage in anyone living in these times is hard to track precisely anymore because we have become such a mixture of of people. Indeed a rainbow of many different and beautiful colors. We will never truly know the truth of our origin, especially the African Americans and Native Americans because any and all paperwork or any other means of telling our histories were destroyed as a means of "civilizing us." Once again, Thank you.
@@hcasperson we live with all the comforts of our modern life but we lost happiness! They were so connected to the earth and to each other that they were living mostly peacefully before the arrival of europeans.

And also destroyed, as when they drove whole herds of bison over cliffs, killing much more than they needed. Once the horse arrived that practice was ended. Also their hygiene left much to be desired. Travellers often mentioned that one could tell where an Indian camp had been because it looked like a smelly dump. However, natives at least did respect and honor those animals that allowed them to live. Their idea that even a blade of grass had a "spirit" is in sharp contrast to the mindset of others. Their devotion to extended family was exemplary also. Just be aware that Hollywood has (as usual) made a mess of history.
HI There Just to clarify , you stated: "And also destroyed, as when they drove whole herds of bison over cliffs, killing much more than they needed" This practice was known as a "buffalo kill" and was done by trappers who ran out of beaver pelts-not a native American practice. The trappers used only part of the buffalo leaving the remainder to rot. The depletion of buffalo was caused by the practice.
@@lynn4746 Actually, Native Americans and other Paleolithic hunter-gathers have been doing so since 12,000 years ago and maybe earlier. I never read about fur trappers doing it. Archeological evidence is now growing in abundance as to where the Natives held these buffalo kill events and how they were carried out. Until the horse appeared, this method was the only way tribes could obtain enough meat and supplies to last them for quite a while. In the harsh world of the open plains, anything must be tried in order to survive. Of course later on, there was no excuse except greed and depleting the Natives by destroying their main food source cannot be excused in any way, shape or form. P.S. Even hunting on horseback was extremely dangerous, and each such hunt usually ended up with a number of warriors killed or injured. www.amusingplanet.com/2015/06/the-buffalo-jumps-of-north-america.html
@@Cissy2cute Brutal…… Until compared to what the settlers did (200,000 buffalo were killed annually). Also, the native Americans used everything, including the bones

Complete respect! I want to visit Native American area as a person who wants knowledge and wisdom, NOT as a tourist. I want to speak to the Elders. I want to learn the hearts and minds. I want to hear the stories past down through the generations and the lessons those stories were meant to teach. I will be humble and treat all with respect and dignity. Do you think I would be allowed to do that without fear of retaliation, given the fact I’m a white man? I’ve long wanted to do that. I would be very honored.
From what I understand you earned your headdress for acts of bravery and honour your tribe and with each act of bravery you’d earn an additional Eagle feather most often chiefs and diarist chiefs and war chiefs I am l’nu my tribe is the mi’kmaq and that’s about as much as I know
I agree but for me the word that best describes these warriors is Noble. It was great to see the early movies starring Actual Native Americans and not Europeans Pretending to be Native.
It’s interesting because in the Pleistocene, there was the American lion, which was much larger than the modern African lion. Americans lions inhabited much of the west coast of the Americas.. and the American lion was still around when the Native Americans came to the Americas. The American lion however didn’t have a large lion mane, though.
@Saadiya Rothschild You’re horribly brainwashed, blacks aren’t the natives to an entire continent that they never been to before 1492. Where is your evidence and sources?

Native Americans are people I greatly respect and admire because I find their culture and way of life to be quite fascinating. Godspeed and many blessings from Ireland.
I thought I was European, mainly Irish and UK. I am born and bred in Yorkshire, England and so were both of my parents. But when I had my DNA tested I found I have five types of Indigenous America DNA too among other ethnicities. Two of the five are from Brazil the rest from North America. I have many, many, Indigenous American DNA matches and, after a lot of research, I am putting them on my family tree. I was briefly given a 6th type but that seems to have disappeared now off my GedMatch profile. My highest percentage of DNA is Irish but it's one of the English sides that my Indigenous American belongs to.
And you shall remain because you are a very ingenious people and can endure everything that has and will happen to you. I started my career in Gallup, New Mexico and I got to know Peter MacDonald, then chairman of the Navajo tribe. I learned a lot just from listening and watching when I got the opportunity. The teachers did not allow the children to speak their native language and were punished for doing it l. That was in the 70s and the white man (like me) were still treating those children like indentured servants. Even today we still have not learned that the native (real American) American went to war fir this country and are still doing it. We had better heed the warnings because the Native American is a resilient individual and will eventually overcome.
0:50 okay this clip was for real cool. It's not very often that we get to see anybody from any time before the 20th century smiling, let alone laughing. Wonderfully inspiring and uplifting.
lmao those aren’t your ancestors. many of those people are from different tribes, what tribe are you? you can’t be related if you aren’t even from the same people. also the music isn’t even real “native american music” the music heard in here is made by some white man in hollywood.
So many haters...stop your pre-conceived biasies and admire it and appreciate it for what it is. A window to long lost moments that will never be again. Treat the moments that have vanished with respect.

This is really beautiful. Native American culture fascinate me. I've always wondered how they lived in the 1800s, what their day-to-day activities were, what their traditions are, their traditions, their homes and lifestyles are like. They just fascinate me.
Only some of the Natives did the raiding, and killing. There were tribes who were plains Indians and they were warriors. Cherokee people were just farmers, lived in one spot all their lives, built homes and fed their families and taught their children how to farm. Don't be so racists by lumping everyone in one nasty pile. As with the citizens today, there are good ones and there are bad ones.
no police, jails or prisons. no stop and frisk. clean air and water. when Londoners were still drinking from their own sewers, the Inca had an entire infrastructure supporting cities twice as large. the technological superiority of Europeans at the time had more to do with geography than any claim to ethnic superiority. As for the buffalo, are you so uninformed not to know it was the white man specifically that slaughtered them almost into extinction? If it were not for native superiority in resource management, the buffalo may have gone extinct centuries before due to climate change. Stop reading the history spoon fed by genocidal victors.
I live in west Nebraska . I love to travel to Wy, SD to see a feel the past . It excites me that we had this great history in the area. It also saddens me very much . I give the Native Americans the highest respect.

Love from an Australian Indigenous Aboriginal my brothers and sister across the waters may Yous live in peace for now and eternity. Keep on keeping on !!!
I love this so much . don't know why !but it brings tears to my eyes.im Mexican American my parents are from Mexico but it fasanate me so much I feel joy pride and all good when I see these videos.my dad was born on 1930 or 1932 around there and he use to say that the native Americans use to take him away to the mountains and would feed him carne de venado and bear meat. carne de venado is deer meat.i love all u you native Americans with all my heart forever.love all tribes.

nicolas sosolic shut ur ass up i would rather live like a real man/woman rather then living like a coward i would like to be born either in the 1880s or 1500s these were the times where life is about living and enjoying and chilling not like now money or power or taxs times were better
Sarah Leason i don’t care i said in the 1880s or 1800s cuz in this time nature was the place to live in and in the 1500s is where knights were a thing so i wouldn’t mind being there
I’m so grateful and fortunate to have Native American blood inside me. Well, I’m half-Omaha Native from my mother’s side. She’s a full-blooded Omaha Native woman who married my father, who is Louisiana Creole descent (being mixed with Creole French, Jew Ashkenazi, Irish, and African-American) which makes me a Redbone individual. I’m already proud of my mixed heritage but I also support my Native American heritage, too, because being born in America, I always support my love for the *TRUE* Founding Fathers.
I've watched this countless times. It's both haunting and beautiful. The three men dancing during the Sioux Buffalo Dance are called Hair Coat, Parts His Hair and Last Horse. I really like the background music Yestervid chose for the Sioux Buffalo Dance too.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and you know God loves us so much,So where are you originally from? I am David originally from Spain but currently living in Texas now.
As a Native American myself I felt heartbroken to my ancestors when I saw this. As I learn more of people's past I more so understand their pain everyday 😔
"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." ~ Native Americans 🤔 May I ask if you care to know the fact that the Second Amendment in the USA was historically put in place in the American Constitution, mainly to encourage slaughtering indigenous Native American people, in order to take over their homeland. Moreover, the hidden mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans population in their motherland, the Continent of America before European Colonizers arrived was around 15 millions, while European population in their motherland, Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native Americans population in their motherland is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continent of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived. Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it. All they need is their beloved motherland back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations. Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc. Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for twenty thousand years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people. Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of the European population. In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔
@@cmonman85 your so dumb headed it shows, DeColOniZe you can’t decolonize jack shit it’s human nature get over it you know you can’t change it face it and stop crying about it. Be glad that your whole entire race isn’t extinct unlike other places in the world, and you still have land.
My jaw dropped as I learned Native Americans population in their motherland Continent of America before European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.[For more, pls read the informative multi-page comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle" on RUclips]. Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLIONS.. It is a shocking sad truth. 😔
Problem with you're thought process is you assume every native tribe was the same and you couldn't be farther from the truth. Many native tribes hunted, slaughtered, r*ped and committed genocide to other tribes. A good example is the apache who was hunted for the purpose of extinction by the commanche. Now bother apache and commanche are of "Nomadic people" meaning they loved off raiding. That means they attacked and destroyed other native tribes taking slaves and murdering the rest. You should really do some studies and read some books from the time instead of believe all natives was some kind of nature loving people. Most was not. Also this happened for hundreds of years before the Spanish came knocking and before the white man.
Watching this really hurts my heart, yet I am filled with so much love for my People. I have lived 3/4 of a Century, and I remember growing up on the Rez, listening to my "Hootsie" (Grandma) she was over 100 years old then, she died at 118 years old. She would tell us kids stories about seeing the first white man in her life, and how they used to see a wagon train going through their lands. Instead of what the movies portray, she said they would go down and walk beside the whites. She told of how sorry they felt for them, how skinny the little white kids were with hardly any clothes on, and how they would give them food to eat. Show them a easier way to travel through to California, and help them as much as they could. It was nothing like the Movies and Stories the Non-Indians told. It was mostly lies they told, about the Tribal Peoples actual feelings and what they did to help them. I can remember her saying how sorry she felt to see the little white kids barefooted and so skinny, walking along the way, and the stories of what happened. Some so sad, and the way they started sending in the Calvary Men to "force them" to move away. Some stories I don't like to even remember, and my own Father's stories are so sad too. The Tribal People were/are a real loving people, who like to laugh a lot and tell stories about funny things that happened. They like to tease each other and pull jokes on each other. The Non-Native People have hardly any true idea's about the Tribes actual ways, and their inner respect for the land and all living animal life. Today I know the plants, and flowers i can eat and use for medicines, and make tea to drink for different things your body needs. What to do for insect bites, cuts, and things like that. I learned from my Father mostly as I spent a lot of time with him as we worked our cows. He started Ranching when I was young enough to learn,and old enough to try and keep up with him. Today is not like the older times, it is almost another world. I have lived long enough to see the good and bad in people that I could not see before. My belief in our Creator God comes mostly from my Father, and my inner Faith is very deep. We know that there is only One Creator, and He made All Mankind. We knew this before the White Man came to the America's. I believe this is what gave the Tribal Peoples their Honor and Love of the Truth. And so today, I am not so worried about tomorrow or about the world. I will be happy when I am called into the Sky away from this world. Just my thoughts in watching this film.
I love this very much thank you for your thoughts ❤️
Thank you for sharing
Dear Anne....... I have always held native American values and cultures in high regard.... the natives represented a peaceful, enlightened culture 2000 yrs old at their zenith when the Europeans arrived, all the prejudice, betrayal, hypocrisy, and injustice was " Christian fueled " ....... indigenous peoples are invariably closer to GOD
I extend an Irish blessing and the hand of friendship to you Anne and all Native Americans who ever lived... May the wonderful spirit of your ancestors live on in each one of you and guide you through all eternity...

"On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders and you stumble, may the clay dance to balance you.
And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window and the ghost of loss gets in to you, may a flock of colours, indigo, red, green and azure blue come to awaken in you a meadow of delight.
When the canvass frays in the curach of thought and a stain of ocean blackens beneath you, may there come across the waters a path of yellow moonlight to bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours, may the clarity of light be yours, may the fluency of the ocean be yours, may the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life..."

Cameras are the real time machines.... To see the past is an amazing thing .
I'm not gonna lie that's a beautiful way of putting that
But the magic of life is that you are always in the past even while you are in the present. When you look up at the stars you are looking at the past for the stars are a billion years old and Earth our Mother when you walk through her forest and upon the face of her you are walking on the past in the present time. Each time you take a trip you are traveling in the past at the present to arrive in the future of the past. The number one beauty of the Creator is that the circle will never be unbroken. It is why my people and all native people reverence the circle of life. This is the real path of a true human being. All of us are related and you are all beautiful in our own true nature. Our thoughts are in control of our hearts and therefore become stagnant and corrupt and then we believe that we are different from all other cultures and creatures of the same Creator. Just because balloons are different shapes and sizes and colors at the end of the day the same air is always in each balloon.
Be careful with "real": those cameras only showed what the cameraman wanted to show, what the actors wanted to show, what the audience wanted to see.

But the fact "the new Americans" tried to achieve such a brutal goal is a historical travesty and have been trying to "hide" the severity of their actions ever since.
After all how can a country call itself "the land of the free" if it were born out of the deaths of that land's indigenous people?

I'm from the United States and have seen quite a few comments from Indians on videos about Native Americans, much more than I've noticed on other videos in general. Do you guys learn about Native Americans in school and if so, to what extent? Or have you learned what you know from researching on your own? I see the connections between things that happened in Indian and things that happened in North America

Their clothes, their hairstyles, their adornments, their facial features possessed so much character, they were truly the original rock stars.! I live in a small town in New England where many native tribes lived and wish I could go back 1000 then 3000, 5000, 8000 then 10,000 to witness their lives, so fascinating.
I completed a Native American Literature course recently, and have grown obsessed with learning as much of the Native Culture that I can. I have always read of the physical traditions, but never spent a lot of time attempting to understand the oral tradition. Such beautiful culture and language. And the connection to the land is unparalleled in beauty.
I live near the Cherokee Nation. Visit tribal land before you romanticize the American Indian. You'll be disgusted at how these tribes with giant casino's and hundreds of millions of dollars barely do anything for their tribes in spreading that wealth.
Christschool interesting! Can you explain more. I’d like to know all the details
@@ascendingneet2263 The Eastern Band of Cherokee's tribal council is making hundreds of millions every year from Harrah's casino. I know this because I used to be their banker. That money is in trust for the Cherokee that live on the reservation. It is supposed to be distributed each year to each resident. If you drive through the reservation, the native peoples that live there are living hand to mouth. It looks like a third world country. There is graft, greed and corruption in my opinion.
@@christschool I wish the money could go toward re teaching the lost traditions to those who wished to learn too. Or maybe toward buy more land to become tribal land.
@@the.reel.mccoy. Some of the money is used for exactly that purpose. The Cherokee do spend some money on their schools to teach tradition and to keep the language alive as well. Right now, they have far more land than they utilize. Native tribes are the largest landholders in N. America by far. Google for a US map that shows you tribal land. Many people would be shocked at just how much land they own because the narrative leads people to believe they have little land when the opposite is true. On a combined basis, tribal lands are about the size of Texas when pieced together.
Im not a Native American but I have always looked up to the Spiritual nature of these beautiful people. I appreciate the respect they have for the Earth and Gods creations. They will always hold a special place in my Heart and mind. When I think hero I think Native Americans. I found this video after searching to learn more about this culture.
That's really heart warming!
rbeck3200tb40 - Who are you talking to? What are you answering? I don't see anything in this thread to which your statements pertain. So...
How about you answer my questions?
Furthermore, what are your credentials as a historian? From where did you get your degree?
Final point, your grammar is atrocious.
Mobitron
How about you read the reality i bothered to educate you with
Whats your little questions kid ?
Mobitron btw pagans are cultures who worship idols like spirits. This included native Americans, tribal Africans, and some old cultures in the Middle East.
rbeck3200tb40 "read the reality i bothered to educate you with" - I saw no reality, I saw no education, I saw no explanation on any one of your points - I just saw drivel you spouted in angst against a group you've still not clarified your points about. Do you have reading troubles? Which brings me to...
You say you're a historian, but you've not cited any credentials for the claim, nor do you show any real reasoning in your statements, so I call utter bullshit. I can't even call your crap an argument because it's just vague hand-waving statements showing your disdain for the native tribes.
I already asked you the questions, so you should already know what I'm asking, as they are listed above in this thread saved in a comment chain beneath a RUclips video, but since you appear have problems with reading comprehension or retention, here goes one more time. "Explain to me how they were "evil pagan savages" and what you mean by that. How were they evil, how were they savages?" I won't ask about pagan again because you appear to simply mean they didn't follow main world religions. So instead, I'll ask you how being pagan makes you dislike them? What's wrong with being pagan? Should they be Christian instead? How about Muslim? Or how about Hindu? Taoist? Would that qualify them as non-pagan and make you dislike them less?
Truly, I am curious. Please, spell it out for this obviously so ignorant little child.
As old as the footage is, it’s even cooler to think how you’re not just getting a glimpse into 100-150 years ago but actually thousands when you consider how much of so many different tribes/people’s culture & traditions remained unchanged passed down generation after generation for the longest time.
They made the last stand in the west. By the time these videos were made, 200 years of colonialism had already encroached their lands.
Everyone knows the tribes west of the Mississippi. The eastern tribes will remain a mystery to most.
Much of our traditions didn't get passed down. Colonization, Assimilation, forced removal, assasination, massacres, residential schools, racism. We are making efforts to restore and pass down what we can, but we lost so much of our ways through the continued genocide against the tribes. Oklahoma and other politicians are actually trying and succeeding in changing laws to "disestablish" tribes. 45yrs after my grandmother told me that growing up she couldn't tell people she was Cherokee due to racism where her family had lived. I'm beyond heartbroken at what could be gone before my grandchildren could grow to learn about their ancestral ties to the original people of these lands. I'm heartbroken for my ancestors who survived the Trail of Tears and what they went through and all tribes went through. I'm no longer wondering if our tribes will no longer legally exist in the near future. It's legally happening and in various ways always has and doesnt stop due to greed for power, land, resources and unfortunately far too many bystanders seeing it and not realizing how it will affect them even if not Native American. That every voice matters and Native American's are less than 1% of the population that once was the only population.
They didn’t have horses till like around 1700 so their life would have been different. Horses drastically changed how the Indians hunted and fought other tribes. I’m amazed the Indians had Sign language idk it was taught in school and shown in movies but never fully registered to me until I saw the old clip video of Indians doing PISL (plains Indians sign language) they where called together to persevere their culture b/c none of the young men were learning it and that was before they were sending Indian kids to catholic schools. My relative Mountain chief from the Blackfeet tribe is in it doing PISL. He is also the man listening to the record in this video above, my mom has a picture of it hanging in her bedroom since I was a kid.
There’s a lot that has changed about Natives over the course of European interaction actually. Some very popular dances are actually 150ish years old. The materials used in certain attire only came into tradition pretty recently as well.
These times are not so long ago. One of my grandmothers was born in 1879. She would have been 15 in 1894.

I adore and admire. respect and will always show homeage to you and ur beautiful culture. my heart hurts for the destruction that was put on ur peoples livelihood...but thank God your children are still here walking and breathing
Don't believe them, the "native Americans" we're just black people they gave em another name in history books to make the massacre look less
I am of Native American Cherokee descent, 1/4th by blood. Being an open minded person who believes in equality and peace for all mankind/womankind. I to feel remorse over the atrocities that have befallen other people from different ethnic backgrounds such as the Africans/African Americans; Jewish Ashkenaz meaning "Germany" or with German/European background and the Sephardim or "Hispanic" ("Sefarad" meaning "Hispania" or "Iberia" in Hebrew, denoting their Portuguese and Spanish base. Many different people have suffered at the hands of other people and their endless need for greed. To the point of total genocide almost in many cases. The Native American people were numbered at around 60 million when Columbus first set foot on these lands. Within just years afterwards our people only numbered 800,000. Your kind words and openminded heart are very appreciated. And contrary to what Mr. Zie Money'(below) believes is the true origin the Indigenous Native American people, they are believed to originate from Asia, not Africa. Although, as in all cultures, many ethnicities have united together and produced offsprings together. That does not have anything to do with their original origins though. You seem to be a very intelligent young lady and that is why I thought to share and reply to your message. Thank you for your thoughts and your time. Sincerely, Penny Wells-Hodges.
Actually, Mr. Zie Money, the Indigenous Native American people are believed to have originated from Asia, not Africa. And lessening the fact that our people were once 60 million and then reduced to 800,000 is something that can not be hidden, nor made to "look less" than what it really was. And that was an atrocious attempt at complete genocide of the Native Americans by other people that were intent on taking land that they knew to be extremely fertile and that the lands they lived on were abundant in wild game. Their lust for more and greed came at any and all costs to the people. Thank you. Sincerely, Penny Wells-Hodges
+Penny Wells-Hodges funny because African Americans trace back
To Asia and not Africa
I'm not certain of all the Scientific facts Mr. Zie Money. There is much debate on all the worlds humans origins. One observation is that each and everyone of of us regardless of color originates from Africa, around the region that is now known as Ethiopia. Some even say that this is the original site of "The Garden of Eden." I am open minded to all possibilities on any matter and enjoy talking with others on topics that interest me. Regardless, during the times of "The Trail of Tears" the Native Americans, Europeans (whites), African Americans,etc. were classified as people of different ethnic backgrounds. The exact blood lineage in anyone living in these times is hard to track precisely anymore because we have become such a mixture of of people. Indeed a rainbow of many different and beautiful colors. We will never truly know the truth of our origin, especially the African Americans and Native Americans because any and all paperwork or any other means of telling our histories were destroyed as a means of "civilizing us." Once again, Thank you.

How beautiful- how sad. I feel for all and see the loss. Beautiful people in a once beautiful world that was honored and nurtured by them.
And also destroyed, as when they drove whole herds of bison over cliffs, killing much more than they needed. Once the horse arrived that practice was ended. Also their hygiene left much to be desired. Travellers often mentioned that one could tell where an Indian camp had been because it looked like a smelly dump.
However, natives at least did respect and honor those animals that allowed them to live. Their idea that even a blade of grass had a "spirit" is in sharp contrast to the mindset of others. Their devotion to extended family was exemplary also. Just be aware that Hollywood has (as usual) made a mess of history.
HI There Just to clarify , you stated: "And also destroyed, as when they drove whole herds of bison over cliffs, killing much more than they needed" This practice was known as a "buffalo kill" and was done by trappers who ran out of beaver pelts-not a native American practice. The trappers used only part of the buffalo leaving the remainder to rot. The depletion of buffalo was caused by the practice.
@@lynn4746 Actually, Native Americans and other Paleolithic hunter-gathers have been doing so since 12,000 years ago and maybe earlier. I never read about fur trappers doing it. Archeological evidence is now growing in abundance as to where the Natives held these buffalo kill events and how they were carried out. Until the horse appeared, this method was the only way tribes could obtain enough meat and supplies to last them for quite a while. In the harsh world of the open plains, anything must be tried in order to survive. Of course later on, there was no excuse except greed and depleting the Natives by destroying their main food source cannot be excused in any way, shape or form.
P.S. Even hunting on horseback was extremely dangerous, and each such hunt usually ended up with a number of warriors killed or injured.

I have many, many, Indigenous American DNA matches and, after a lot of research, I am putting them on my family tree. I was briefly given a 6th type but that seems to have disappeared now off my GedMatch profile. My highest percentage of DNA is Irish but it's one of the English sides that my Indigenous American belongs to.

And you shall remain because you are a very ingenious people and can endure everything that has and will happen to you. I started my career in Gallup, New Mexico and I got to know Peter MacDonald, then chairman of the Navajo tribe. I learned a lot just from listening and watching when I got the opportunity. The teachers did not allow the children to speak their native language and were punished for doing it l. That was in the 70s and the white man (like me) were still treating those children like indentured servants. Even today we still have not learned that the native (real American) American went to war fir this country and are still doing it. We had better heed the warnings because the Native American is a resilient individual and will eventually overcome.

Agreed. : )
Only some of the Natives did the raiding, and killing. There were tribes who were plains Indians and they were warriors. Cherokee people were just farmers, lived in one spot all their lives, built homes and fed their families and taught their children how to farm. Don't be so racists by lumping everyone in one nasty pile. As with the citizens today, there are good ones and there are bad ones.
Not all of them were raiders, it can't be. Some of the tribes really were peaceful people I believe.
no police, jails or prisons. no stop and frisk. clean air and water. when Londoners were still drinking from their own sewers, the Inca had an entire infrastructure supporting cities twice as large. the technological superiority of Europeans at the time had more to do with geography than any claim to ethnic superiority. As for the buffalo, are you so uninformed not to know it was the white man specifically that slaughtered them almost into extinction? If it were not for native superiority in resource management, the buffalo may have gone extinct centuries before due to climate change. Stop reading the history spoon fed by genocidal victors.
These films were entirely fictitious. Frank Lee here knows!

"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." ~ Native Americans 🤔
May I ask if you care to know the fact that the Second Amendment in the USA was historically put in place in the American Constitution, mainly to encourage slaughtering indigenous Native American people, in order to take over their homeland.
Moreover, the hidden mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans population in their motherland, the Continent of America before European Colonizers arrived was around 15 millions, while European population in their motherland, Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native Americans population in their motherland is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continent of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'!
For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived.
Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it.
All they need is their beloved motherland back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations.
Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc.
Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for twenty thousand years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people.
Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of the European population.
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.
Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes the West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤔
@@cmonman85 your so dumb headed it shows, DeColOniZe you can’t decolonize jack shit it’s human nature get over it you know you can’t change it face it and stop crying about it. Be glad that your whole entire race isn’t extinct unlike other places in the world, and you still have land.
My jaw dropped as I learned Native Americans population in their motherland Continent of America before European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.[For more, pls read the informative multi-page comment by 'Lonely Alaskan' at, "Complete History Of Indigenous America Before Colonialism/Chronicle" on RUclips].
Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLIONS.. It is a shocking sad truth. 😔
Problem with you're thought process is you assume every native tribe was the same and you couldn't be farther from the truth. Many native tribes hunted, slaughtered, r*ped and committed genocide to other tribes. A good example is the apache who was hunted for the purpose of extinction by the commanche.
Now bother apache and commanche are of "Nomadic people" meaning they loved off raiding. That means they attacked and destroyed other native tribes taking slaves and murdering the rest. You should really do some studies and read some books from the time instead of believe all natives was some kind of nature loving people. Most was not. Also this happened for hundreds of years before the Spanish came knocking and before the white man.
I'm apache and proud. But you can't take the good without the bad.
Deepest respect for you native Americans ! From France 🇫🇷
This is so beautiful. I’m in tears.
Same
Oh wow.
Seeing some of those natives smiling to the camera warms me up, they’ve been through so much at that time
