What I've learned is that it has nothing to do with me. It's their suffering and bitterness. They do exactly what they complain about. In my opinion, the first nations around where I'm from are totally lost. They require aid from the military all the time because the youth are committing suicide daily. They need so much resources just to barely get by. They have so much status and entitlement it hurts them and makes them sick. It's terrible.

      Vern DeLaronde lets be honest, from the looks of it, since Canada still upholds and kept the Treaties made with Natives since 1771 and Americans broke theirs, Natives of America choose the wrong side back in 1812...when First Americans broke away from the Crown should of been a first sign that Americans can’t be trusted...

    I went to my first pow wow when I was 11. I knew I was a part native American but never took the time to actually look into my culture before going to my first pow wow. It felt so amazing. As if I belonged there. I wanted to start dancing with them even though I didn't know how to dance.

  • @emmamay7974
    @emmamay7974 5 лет назад +5

    I wasn't taught from a young age how to dance or what tribe I was from or what my native heritage was. I found out only about three years ago that I was Aztec Yaqui. My grandmother then taught me how to dance and I have took place in about seven different Pow Wows so far and the amount of energy and openiness is amazing. The colors are beautiful and the people are amazing. I was welcomed in with open arms and nows my first year as a fancy shawl dancer. Anybody who is of native heritage should get to experience. I may not look like a native american because my skin to light and my eyes are not dark enough but my DNA has more native than I thought. Found out I was almost 57% Native American.

You are born native if you have the DNA (ancestry) as your ancestors are always with you, its in your lineage. Your culture is native once you learn it, and you can learn things at any age.

I remember everyone was so nice and they painted my face and gave me my own little feather band. One of them invited me to dance with them but I was extremely shy. I remember that now as an adult and it makes me appreciate everything they do and what their culture had been through.

I have the most respect for Native Tribes to U.S. your way of life and respect to mother earth and spirit is truly a way of being. how I wish things were different. We can learn so much from your culture. I want to say Thank you to all Native Tribes that pass their knowledge on it would be a horrible mistake for your knowledge to disappear. America owes your Tribes more than you have. I have always wanted to be native when I was a little girl. when I turned into my teens it was through your knowledge that I questioned god as religion and prayed to spirits. I pray for all Tribes to one day get the land that was once theirs back. God Bless your Tribes and traditional values and you still carry your ancestors ways and incorporate into this age. Blessings and Love to All.
