Went to a powow in Montana when I was a teen..... I'm 76 now and it remains a standout memory in a long life full of adventures.... It was one of those once in a lifetime moments
I really enjoyed the content of this movie. It made me respect the Native American people even more. Many have a hard life and don't get the respect they deserve.
I agree, that they have it though and deserve respect, but that ,s not what my comment is about?,I actually like the native Americans and I watch alot of chanel,s that teach us about their custome and history, and I learn Soo much from all those chanel, I'm just saying I wasn't happy about the way she fucked the dog away like it was a bag of trash?, I mean ?, That must have hurt the dog right?, Are these people suppose to have a spiritual connection with mother earth and animals?, If it was just a prop, then that is fine, I'm actually surprised that no one in the comments have said anything about this , EXCEPT me?, Am I MISSING SOMTHING HERE? just wondering?
Took care of my Dad until end at home only 2 days in hospice. They came to house once after initiating the arrangement. Then he was gone. A little traumatizing even though it was time. You are blessed!
We hope your situation continues to be positive for all involved. Another film of ours that may 'hit home' as well is our new film TOUCH THE WATER. Here is the link for the trailer if interested: ruclips.net/video/mmteT6v6dBo/видео.html
What a beautiful, interesting, organic and honourable culture Native American's have.I have lived in large, busy towns where 'fame and fortune' rules most people's lives but I feel a deep affinity with the natural ways of all tribal peoples! I absolutely love this film and look forward to viewing more like it...thank you!!!
Grandmothers are so special. Please subscribe to our channel. Have you seen the trailer for our next film? ruclips.net/video/mmteT6v6dBo/видео.htmlsi=ORWEhSIeQpOZbH5c
This is good to hear. I am a grandma of 3,: and sometimes feel a quiet amazement when I really see how much they care for me. My son's babies often remind me when he was a baby, and I'm so thankful for him, and his babies.
All of these people reminded me of my family members. Specially back home in Centra Mexico.. sometimes I feel shamed of being called "Indian" but when I see other tribes in South America and also in north America. I does make me feel proud to be Indigenous Native American!
@@anoukfialabeutler7819 we must find our race and breed within.. I have seen several indigenous people get married with blacks or whites. Yet they wonder why we are loosing our religion and beliefs
People and material things enhance our happiness in my opinion. A beautiful movie involving Native American who aren't given the place they deserve in these United States! Great film!
I loved that this movie had no cussing or sex in it! It didn't need it! We traveled to South Dakota in 2019 from Texas for a destination wedding to Custer State Park.....we were at Crazy Horse for Indigenous People Day and it was an experience that will live on for quite a while! I am of Cherokee descent and appreciate a good movie and a place to learn true history. Thank you for your great work!
What a beautiful film. I loved the gentle pace. No HollyWeird BS & distracting & disconnecting effects. No unnecessary empty filler words. Like good music, all good stories need soulful spaces of silence for the soul to breathe & expand through the challenges. Meegwech
Among the most difficult things in life are in this film. Taking care of others (family and relations) and be simple and true. What is the most important thing in this movie is simplicity, tenderness and sweet easygoing. Far away from hollywood just be with human beings. Thank you.God Bless.
Thank you so much for this movie! I can so relate to Harry's feelings about the Pow Wow ,because that's exactly the way I felt! I was adopted by a white family and when I found my Mom we started going to Pow Wows together. Wonderful memories!
love the raw beauty of the land and the sweet love of youth, the so so beautiful singing of the men on the drum, the dances at the pow wow and the whole life of those tribal nations living on the land...thank you!
The countryside is gorgeous. Having lived out SouthWest for about 40 years...Colorado and California i travelled through Utah..Arizona..Nevada and New Mexico often for various functions. Its amazingly gorgeous. I felt blessed to have had the privilege to be among it all.
Native Americans are such a handsome people... There's a regality about them... "Dances with Wolves" really brought this out... Kevin Costner... I'll always remember as a young kid, reading about Custer's last stand... Actually being so pleased that the Indians had won that battle... Never liked what was done to such a dignified race of Indigeny... Cowboy films always portrayed them as savage and cruel... As was done to the Aboriginals of Australia, the Khoi San (Bushman) of the Kalahari in South Africa and others... Man's inhumanity to his fellow man and woman and child... Thanks for the sharing of such a lovely story... Magical
A truly adorable story with the main female character has the personality of an angel. Lovely photography and love those landscapes in Arizona. Thanks for sharing your work with the viewer.
Beautiful story and movie! I have Choctaw and Chickasha blood in my lineage but, my family from the early 1920s denied it and our ancestors were lost. I continue to research but, I havent been able to prove it with documentation. They were in Indian Nation pre-Dawes and were ashamed of their heritage.
Thank you for providing a movie that reflects a small portion of the beauty within the Native American culture. I was blessed to experience much of their culture in Alberta Canada and this movie brought me back to a wonderful place and time. Thank you for the movie and the excellent upload.
I absolutely loved this film. I live in Colorado 40 years ago I lived in Gallup. I will never forget the Dine' . This film brought back so many beautiful memories of what I learned and what I saw by living in New Mexico❣️❣️❣️
Im an indigenous women from Southamerica, i was adopted with only 6 month into a european family, since 20005 im back. In 2012 ive met the father of my daughter, he was raised in his indigenous comunity, still lives there. Watching turquoise learning all the skills, was a flashback. A very good movie i really appreciate it ✨
I love watching these movies; as someone with native ancestors - it makes us see the beauty within the simplicity and how important passing those lessons on actually is!💯
Our elders mean the world to us on our rez! Elders come first. My mom is 90 yrs. She is one of the last elder to speak our language. Our language is dying & the youth don't want to speak it. They can sometimes understand it but ashamed to speak it. So sad!
It is sad 😔 to see a culture with its language disappear. In Hawaii where I was born & raised, there are immersion schools teaching & speaking Hawaiian & other languages of the people there. Thru the Hula
You know your statement is heartfelt ,I'm Malaysian, English, Irish Scottish always lived in towns,cities in the u.k. never knew much about native americans was always drawn to tribal culture,and boom when I had my calling it hit like a volcano ,when I first purchased my drum it played me ,and then my drum done past life regression on me I have seen I have been many leaders ,and I have started to speak a native language when drumming or rattleling ,nothing is ever lost xxxx
I'm a kiwi I'd love to be a native American I have always had a connection, I've stayed on a rez and also traded for a dream catcher that I still have after 20 years, I feel for you ,such an important culture, check out leak project he visits many rock carving sites with native Americans, the world needs the storytelling
@@stevelichtwark4259 Hi I'm Maylasian,English, Irish and Scottish, I had a calling to be a shaman, and I do past life regression with my drum ,I have experienced doing past life I have been a shaman many times native american, African,amazonian ect... amongst many animals and so on,if your really drawn to the natives then you more than likely were once a native american in a past life,you are just having this present experience as you ,follow their culture ,spiritually, buy a shamanic drum,rattle,smudging feather,crystals ect... ,follow their respectful ways,talk with the native americans and you can surface all you have been to rise up all that you are ,meditate ,go out in nature and be silent ,connect with what creator gave us not modern day life,eat organic food is important and no matter what religion or belief we are all made up of organic material, honour and respect yourself your body is your temple,within it holds all the answers you seek ,unlock the doors within 😀
@@tsippyhadass897 lol, what do you think they did in these wars? Prank or scare each other? Boo! Is not seeking to “remove” the genetic line (killing all the wives and children even) of a tribe out of your land not genocide? Returning to your chief with as many scalps as possible made you the celebrated (genocidal) warrior. You know if they took the scalp it actually it meant proof of a death….
Yes I feel it was so too and you stand in a truth not many will speak out on. I am sure the Native Peoples will lead us all to a much more peaceful world where love family and peace is for everyone. I mean it too.
I hope you are able to make more native movies in the future. Any native story from any country is a great thing to do . Keeping history alive is important
There are many very creative folks out West. I lived in Colorado and visited the surrounding states where the artistry comes alive. From Kachina dolls to sculptures of many..Indians..cowboys..horses..landscapes. Its all wonderful and neverending. Thank God. Its beyond beautiful. ❤
What a sweet movie! I lived in Fairbanks, Ak for 15 years, this movie reminded me a lot of the native Alaskan culture. You can't put a price on family!!
I have always loved Native American culture and especially Native American spiritual creativity but I can’t explain it. This film explains it much better than I can.
I'm of Polish Ancestry but really enjoyed this film. I have seen it twice, so far. I like the refined culture and the passion these people have for the arts! Much respect.
This is a very interesting movie based on a simple and touching story that happens in an Indian reservation having mesmerizing landscapes. Thanks for uploading the film.
Wow, thank you very much. Just this movie came to me. I am so glad that you made this movie with beautiful native people. I loved it. Much appreciated 👍
Still love watching this. Growing up always watched this with my mom! Happy to see my peoples culture going world wide especially on RUclips a great source for videos even the educational ones! Even Stateline 😂
as a teenager I fell in love with the native way through my readings and understanding of their natural ways. I learned of their woodland skills and hunting skills I have been to pow wow's and enjoyed the experience I would rather be an Indian than a cowboy! My hunting dogs name was Shoshone!
I agree with you Miss Ricka. This was a very good movie, I refleck often to my grandparents. Family is important. GOD watch over all the Native Americans, they were here first.
A beautiful piece. I like the graceful touch on societal struggles, from language loss and alcoholism to the melding of pow-wow culture… very sweetly true. Just beautiful.
deep down this movies carries a message to me.i really enjoyed this movie. the simple but elegant story line the very good acting and very much so no blood guts and gore made it very very good. the "native american" have been producing some excellent movies and i thank you for this enjoyable experience
Lol... They all my relations... yep have similar situations within our tribes here too... But hey we worth it.. & we make beautiful kids & mokopuna/grandkids🙂💜💜💜
I know right, ma sani speaking in Navajo the things she said were so hilarious. Made me cry tho when she was doing the sing prayer my Chii used to do that.
What a beautiful story I love the American native my dream is to go to the reserve and also Yellowstone. My ancestors are from India and I'm south african Indian. ❤
I never seen a movie like this before but it was a very beautiful movie heartwarming. And may turquoise Rose grandmother spirits rise high in the sky and her remains reincarnated into something beautiful. Grandma seem like a beautiful woman I made me think about my grandmother raised me and my past back in the 60s I've been thinking a lot about my family. This was really heartwarming the movie thank you for sharing it. Hope you will show others similar to this I would really enjoy it.
@@HoltHamiltonFilms No . I like the trip to the Reservation , it's scenery , The Res. Rd. music , The verbal and non verbal interchanges with the hitch hiker , And the prelude building up to the trip . But no , "a favorite part" is like asking that about the movie "Tombstone"- How do you pick a "best" Doc Holliday part? Turquoise Rose was so well cast , musically backrounded , and plot/scenes there's really no "favorite" . So much was "spoken" without words , everything magically intertwined . Thank you! PS - Other than my obvious fascination with Tombstone , I otherwise never comment on movies .
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this beautiful and engaging movie. I don’t know how I came upon it while scrolling RUclips but I am so happy that I did! Thank you for sharing this sweet, honorable, happy film ❤️
Another wonderful film from the people who leave us blessed memories from generations past! May we remember them & pass them down. My indigenous roots come from Hawaii, a wonderful blend of people from different parts of the world...Heaven sent by God to His Creation! Celebrate Him! Be thankful for the good things of our ancestors, be mindful of your heritage that is esteemed, and build a good legacy to leave behind! Do the best you can & teach the children & others by example in all you say & do. Live honorably, so you go through life with few regrets & head held high! Aloha nui loa!
I’ve been studying the language of Hawaii. If anyone is interested, it’s available for free on Duolingo. I’m so happy I can already understand some of it. Ua Kuluma Ke Kanaka I Ke Aloha. 🌺
What a beautifully done movie that I’ve seen ever. my Husband was 3/4 Cherokee (From N.C & East Tennessee-Appalachia Mountains in Roan Mountain, Tennessee) on both sides, his Mother’s side and his Father’s side. (His father’s mother was in Eastern Band of Cherokee Nation) my husbands father was Walsh and his Mother’s family was English/Irish) My husband’s 2nd cousin on his Dad’s side is Del McCoury who plays Bluegrass and his sons have their Band called “The Travelin McCoury’s” My husband was called home almost 2 years ago. I know he would have enjoyed this beautiful movie. We moved to Arizona in 1999 for my husband’s health.( He was an Vietnam era In AirForce) We have a Apache Arizona family tribe who have 10 children and many grandchildren too! They all brought love and happiness to my husband and myself. I’m blessed that there Tribal family always here to help if I need them. Thank you for making a very truthful movie. 🕊️🙏💜💘 🫶💖🙋🏻
Thank u so much, I absolutely loved this movie! I liked that it showed the rich culture of the Navajo, and their beautiful craftsmanship with the items they make. And the storyline was very well done!
Wow , this movie really touched my heart . It shows the beautiful spirits and culture of special native Americans . Their values, love and warmth shines ✨️ from within threr hearts , and connects to my soul ❤ beautiful people , awesome from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ thank you all for sharing this wonderful story line .Great acting , and so well done 🎉
I wasn't raised on a rez. My elders were always number one to respect, love, & cherish. I was taught to take care of them as they increased in age. I learned more from them about how to live & be happy with what seemed to be less. I love & recall all they taught me.😊
Such beauriful young people . I wasnt sure if the nations still spoke their langauges . What Russia has done is preserve the original languages and dialects,of which there are over 100. And my grandfathers langauge ,maori has seen a rebirth un the l ast 40 years .keep making these great movies mr Hamilton 🎉
Our library has this movie, which years ago I checked this movie out. A rare find I liked the movie 🍿 happy I have I pad,and U tube is amazing, it’s winter here in Farmington. New Mexico,
Very nice movie! Living on the edge of the Navajo Nation, I have seen, met and friends with, some of the most beautiful people there are around! This movie encapsulates all their beauty! ❤❤❤😊
My favorite part in the movie is when Turquoise became truly engaged in her relationship with her Grandma in a supportive role and realized that she was there in support of Her and what she had to offer in understanding the Native ways. Turquoise then fell in love with living on the Res. and being able to meet the people that lived there by learning the customs and the Spiritual ways of the Indian Nations.
Thanks for sharing. Glad this movie meant something to you as it does us. Here's our newest film coming out soon - www.holthamilton.com/touch-the-water.html
I am a Native from New Mexico close to Shiprock and when I heard this movie was in the making I kept tabs on it. Now it is one of my favorite movie! I bought the movies, but I will still watch it on youtube. I often wonder if Holt Hamilton made more movies? I hope he did! ☺☺❤❤👍👍

Simple, elegant, beautiful story. Don't miss this one!
Loved this movie
I loved the simple Living of the *Native Indians*
The simple things in Life gives you immense peace n happiness.
We have all been distracted away from this kind of life and it is the real way to live.
I loved this film. Family is everything in Indian Country. If it wasn't so Native People would have never survived 400 years of genocide.
So very true ......
As well as hundreds and thousands of years of battles between native tribes for land, power etc.
@@SDPtor it was wars, not genocide

Yes I feel it was so too and you stand in a truth not many will speak out on. I am sure the Native Peoples will lead us all to a much more peaceful world where love family and peace is for everyone. I mean it too.
Wonderful movie ,thanks. I was taught to be respectful to my elders

Thank you for watching. Have you seen we have a new film coming out? www.holthamilton.com/touch-the-water.html

I know right, ma sani speaking in Navajo the things she said were so hilarious. Made me cry tho when she was doing the sing prayer my Chii used to do that.

I truly admire the purity & simplicity of the Navajo people. Thank you for putting together such a great movie! God bless!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I loved it. All the way through.
I never seen a movie like this before but it was a very beautiful movie heartwarming. And may turquoise Rose grandmother spirits rise high in the sky and her remains reincarnated into something beautiful. Grandma seem like a beautiful woman I made me think about my grandmother raised me and my past back in the 60s I've been thinking a lot about my family. This was really heartwarming the movie thank you for sharing it. Hope you will show others similar to this I would really enjoy it.
Thank you Calvin. Yes, we have others to share that are finished and more to come. Enjoy again and again.
Thank you for sharing your video that's really nice to see
This movie is a Classic , a wonderful movie that should have won a slew of Awards .
Whenever watching it always an experience .
Thank you so much for your kind words. We very much appreciate calling it a classic. Do you have a favorite part?
@@HoltHamiltonFilms
No .
I like the trip to the Reservation , it's scenery ,
The Res. Rd. music ,
The verbal and non verbal interchanges with the hitch hiker ,
And the prelude building up to the trip .
But no , "a favorite part" is like asking that about the movie "Tombstone"-
How do you pick a "best" Doc Holliday part?
Turquoise Rose was so well cast , musically backrounded , and plot/scenes there's really no "favorite" .
So much was "spoken" without words , everything magically intertwined .
Thank you!
PS - Other than my obvious fascination with Tombstone ,
I otherwise never comment on movies .
@@waldipup9010 thank you and well said!
@Blue Bee Wish I could be as highly sofistimikated as you are ,
But to repeter' une Englais -
This is a freakin' classic .
Loved the singing and dancing, you can feel it deep in your heart !
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this beautiful and engaging movie. I don’t know how I came upon it while scrolling RUclips but I am so happy that I did! Thank you for sharing this sweet, honorable, happy film ❤️

The greatest and most positive portrayal of Dine. The story is a "coming of age" full circle, humble, and professional masterpiece. Thanks!

Another wonderful film from the people who leave us blessed memories from generations past! May we remember them & pass them down. My indigenous roots come from Hawaii, a wonderful blend of people from different parts of the world...Heaven sent by God to His Creation! Celebrate Him! Be thankful for the good things of our ancestors, be mindful of your heritage that is esteemed, and build a good legacy to leave behind! Do the best you can & teach the children & others by example in all you say & do. Live honorably, so you go through life with few regrets & head held high! Aloha nui loa!
ALOHA KAKOU!!!
Maui no ka oi!!!
Mahalo ke Akua!!!
I’ve been studying the language of Hawaii. If anyone is interested, it’s available for free on Duolingo. I’m so happy I can already understand some of it.
Ua Kuluma Ke Kanaka I Ke Aloha. 🌺
Wow!! Lovely movie regarding the blessings of experiencing a loving family!!
What a beautifully done movie that I’ve seen ever.
my Husband was 3/4 Cherokee (From N.C & East Tennessee-Appalachia Mountains in Roan Mountain, Tennessee) on both sides,
his Mother’s side and his Father’s side. (His father’s mother was in Eastern Band of Cherokee Nation) my husbands father was Walsh and his Mother’s family was English/Irish)
My husband’s 2nd cousin on his Dad’s side is Del McCoury who plays Bluegrass and his sons have their Band called “The
Travelin McCoury’s”
My husband was called home almost 2 years ago. I know he would have enjoyed this beautiful movie.
We moved to Arizona in 1999 for my husband’s health.( He was an Vietnam era In
AirForce)
We have a Apache Arizona family tribe who have 10 children and many grandchildren too!
They all brought love and happiness to my husband and myself.
I’m blessed that there
Tribal family always here to help if I need them.
Thank you for making a very truthful movie.

Very beautiful movie. Glad Turquoise learned some of the traditional ways. I was in that area in 1968. People were very kind😌❤️
Thank you for sharing.
I wasn't raised on a rez. My elders were always number one to respect, love, & cherish. I was taught to take care of them as they increased in age. I learned more from them about how to live & be happy with what seemed to be less. I love & recall all they taught me.😊
Thanks for sharing. You will probably like our next film hitting theatres November 3. www.holthamilton.com/touch-the-water.html

Our library has this movie, which years ago I checked this movie out. A rare find I liked the movie 🍿 happy I have I pad,and U tube is amazing, it’s winter here in Farmington. New Mexico,
I cried, I laughed, it was a really good movie..👍👍
Very nice movie! Living on the edge of the Navajo Nation, I have seen, met and friends with, some of the most beautiful people there are around! This movie encapsulates all their beauty! ❤❤❤😊
My favorite part in the movie is when Turquoise became truly engaged in her relationship with her Grandma in a supportive role and realized that she was there in support of Her and what she had to offer in understanding the Native ways. Turquoise then fell in love with living on the Res. and being able to meet the people that lived there by learning the customs and the Spiritual ways of the Indian Nations.
Thanks for sharing.
It is a beautiful thing when a daughter returns home.
@Blue Bee only if it seems to make sense to me in the expression of the thoughts.
It seems someone prefers monosyllabic words only
