NATIVE AMERICA
Season 2 of Native America is a groundbreaking portrait of contemporary Indian Country. Building on the success of the first season, this four-part Native directed series reveals the beauty and power of today’s Indigenous world. Smashing stereotypes, it follows the brilliant engineers, bold politicians, and cutting-edge artists who draw upon Native tradition to build a better 21st century. Each hour reveals a core tenet of Native heritage: the power of Indigenous design, how language and artistry fuel the soul, the diverse ways that Native women lead, and the resilience of the warrior spirit. Brought to life with dynamic stories of the here and now, these thematic episodes launch an active dialogue between past and present. They reveal the foundational beliefs and traditions that Native Americans carry forward to this day, even as they live fully modern lives.

2:37 He looks like he's trying not to cry right there. This is amazing. I'm so glad they're still playable. Such a huge thing to be able to give these back to their peoples and their descendants.
That would bring me to tears.
What a Beautiful, Priceless Gift!!! Thank you for this.
My great-grandparents all died decades before I was born, and I'd give anything to hear their voices. What a treasure!
A song from that long ago and the meaningful thread to the descendants makes you feel the tragedy of what happened even more viscerally.
Give my tax dollars to make all of these recordings available to the descendents of all impacted peoples before supporting foreign conflicts
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really amazing opportunity to share these cultural experiences directly from generation to generation. I hope the indigenous people are offered modern recordings of these to more easily share them and continue the story 🖤
The tribe is currently working on better understanding each recording so we can sing them at powpows! some 2 minute recordings can take months to fully understand.
This is amazing...I pray you get copies of all of the tapes for your tribe...bless you...
Beautiful to restore that connection for the family and the language and the song that was lost. Very beautiful.
My great grandmother was indigenous (Choctaw is all I know) and still sang the songs of her youth she learned from her grandmother..... it may not be exactly the same but the spiritual connection to my GreatNana was so powerful 😮😊... she taught me so much and lived to be 100 years old.... I was almost 30 when she transitioned so I had a long time with her which most of my friends didn't have that chance....DL aka MsDL411 TheModernShaman
What's really sad is the group of people who was trying their best to wipe out all traces of your people and culture are the last ones to hold your peoples valued languages and songs/music. I'm always well aware daily that as an African American I walk on Native American Soil. In spite of all my people went through I also respect Native Americans. Respect.....
I was thinking the same thing. The languages are gone because of the schools that separated children from their parents and culture, forbid them to speak these languages, and thought that these people's would vanish. Glad these Native Americans are still here.
Exactly & Afro indigenous feels the pain from both sides ❤
Knowing thousands of languages are lost is crazy to think about… it is incredible that these nations and tribes still have their language after so much was done to stifle it!
I hope that these are being recorded while they're playing. Perhaps there's a chance to clear up some of the recordings so they aren't so scratchy and could be played so the tribes can learn songs, etc. Very cool. I wish I had recordings of my grandparents and parents. I'm not indigenous, but to hear them again, Wow.
How amazing! True History was preserved. This is wonderful fir the Indian Nations. Thank you for sharing. My husband inherited his grandfather’s cylinders and player. Wondering if I should share with some museum. No Indian chants, but plenary of the early 1900’s.
Seeing and hearing Nates response was a wonderful part of this story
Powerful and hope more will hear these recordings. Important to do so folks😎👍👍
These recordings are really touching!!!!!
Helping to revive as many lost languages of Native American tribes would be such a huge step in restoring the enormous debt that they’re rightfully owed, due to the treatment they received during the establishment of this country! You can see how much it means to these gentlemen & I’m so incredibly happy for them!
The treatment of Native American tribes during the formation of this country, is itself a tragedy that does NOT get the attention or senses of repentance, solace, contemplation, respect, etc., that it rightfully deserves. Imho, it’s right there w slavery as being a blight on our nation’s history.
I would give anything to hear my ancestors like that, hear ‘em singing or speaking….wow, what a gift. ♥️
It’s time to digitalize all of these now so they can be brought back to who they belong.
I'm sure they're digital copies already.
I'm sure you're not the first person who thought of that, lol.
@@PapagenoMF yeah, so ? How many people who are not indigenous say it ? 🤨
@@ngonsainti Every single librarian, archivist, genealogist, museum director and historian say it. We all want all records, regardless of race and background, digitalized and made available to the public. The problem is it's expensive and time consuming, regardless of whether its American Indian history or not.
I hope the tribe can get to hear all the rolls. Looks like they stayed where they're stored.
This is amazing! I hope the playback method is non-destructive, otherwise they'll be lost again in time!
That's intense! He's speaking from the past.
Some one tell me that they are digitizing these rare and important recordings?
@terryscott5004, yes, that is being done.
Hopefully the recordings are digitized so everyone can hear them, including the communities which descend from the creators of the recordings.
That's amazing
The loss of any human culture is the loss of any human wisdom.
Right
Awesome!
I didn’t even know this channel also posted content last month😢. I love this❤
They all should be digitized.
Minorities unite❤❤❤
Against what?
Wow!
My ancestry was stolen because my grandmother kept it a secret. I may never know the truth.
The fact that these people are able to revive their language and traditions is astounding. I'm trying to type this and see through the tears in my eyes. Aho …
💚
Are they going to digitize these to a less fragile format?
WOW this is so great! blessings to this tribe🩵
may you grow and prosper
Why haven't these cylinders been digitized so that they are not lost thru deterioration of the wax?
🙏💞🕊️
I hope they make backups on something besides wax cylinders.
❤
😢😢
Evil people met open hearted people and tried to extinguish other human beings.
100 year old recordings
When we think they were recorded: 1800’s.
When they were actually recorded: 1923
💚🌈
We Ænamericans (Native Americans) have a future with a past.

These recordings are beyond priceless!
But are they using a mechanical system to read them???
You don't need a mechanical system to read them!!!
Each time you read the recording in this manner you run the risk of wear, tear and damage.
Please devise an optical (non-contact) system reader.
It would take me just a few hours/days to build a prototype.
I expect I could even extract data from it that your mechanical reader misses.
