@@izzyyellowhair7117 Well i found out quite some years ago that according to modern definition I am a Neo-Pagan and I believe in Animism. I wasn't raised that way. I just found my own way in life by actually listening and feeling the world instead of blocking it out with narrow walls and definitions. Maybe I'm just born different? who really knows? I try to keep an open mind about most things.
Every time I watch something like that I feel deep, deep sorrow and disgust of what European colonizers did to all indigenous people on Earth. It is a crime like no other... to take someone's land, identity, language, religion, customs, ancestry. I am so sorry :( for what we, Europeans had done,
It was a different time and consciousness. And the Europeans were also under that tryanny having to conform to community. standard. Illiteracy was the majority.
Europeans didn’t do anything differently than what had been practiced for 1,000’s of years, except help the world progress past certain practices such as child sacrifice, slavery and countless other progression in human rights. Europeans and western civilization are 100% judged unfairly when it comes to stuff. I love and respect certain aspects of Native American, culture and fat by no means do I buy into the myth that “native Americans“ were living in peace and harmony with the land, and each other before the “white man “came.
Interesting people....and wise. Native people are connected to earth...as it should be. Showing respect for others....to the planet. I admire them for that and more.
You will be someone's ancestor. I think the best things we can do is learn ancestral skills, live as much in reciprocity with the earth as possible, connect to place and community and do what we can to give the natives on this continent as much power and land back as we can (in part by listening to them and ask what we can do)
Absolutely beautiful. I just finished a podcast on Animism in mythology, but it’s so much more beautiful seeing the tradition still alive today. I did my best to capture the stories as they were told in the past, but Canada especially is doing a great job at keeping these cultures and traditions and lifestyles alive today and going forward. Well done!
Animism is not subjective to native Americans it is the oldest religion/belief ever so that is a huge misconception but the native Americans did practice there own version of it. Animism is an unorganized religion more a broad statement of life it doesn’t have strict rules. People who always talk about offensive to say spirit animal should not come so quick to conclusions maybe the person is being legit but most the time not and the people who are calling people out on it don’t actually know what they are talking about and should do more research about what “Native American religion” and they would soon learn it’s not just them who believe. I personal believe in animism and I hate it when people say I’m not aloud to believe because I’m white. That is racism. And I know this got really off track but my point is animism is not an ‘just’ Native American religion.
Shae colean lol shrug it off. I hate hearing brown natives saying they’re more native then me because I’m a halfbreed yet they don’t follow the middle path like our ancestors. As far as people of Europeans decent following the traditions of other cultures it’s np. Others seem to forget that your ancestors were tribal once too
No it isn't, but the natives are the oldest keepers of this knowledge since the "civilization" of tribal people from across the world have lost the traditions and spiritual knowledge that were passed down generations. The natives have so much spiritual knowledge that are kept within and are unknown to many. This knowledge is so valuable and sacred that that is the reason why they refuse to assimilate is to preserve it.
We are NOT past tense. And it is not religion, which is a Eurocentric practice of oversimplification and mislabeling based on their own compartmentalized thoughts and practices. That said, this video is ignorant though seeming well-intentioned. It is also very, very y8t (the created culture that often includes (mis)labeling "Others" and overlaying European narratives and structures on others. Instead of doing so (and if they really respected Native peoples), Evans Woolfe Media would just support Native producers and storytellers to tell their own worldview instead of profiting off interpretation, perpetuated half-truths and stereotypes like this. But it is the age-old practice of misinterpretation and only using bits and pieces of a whole they do not understand as a people. Very human zoo-ish, voyeur-like quality of this video. Plus so many mispronounciations by the narrator, completely unacceptable but again, typical. As you say, 100% agreed, animism and respect for/connection to the Earth and gathered generational experience is Indigenous. Indigenous and original peoples exist around the world, including Europe, who believed and still practice such belief systems. It preceded Christianity, and only is more limited today due to Christian extremism, intolerance and oppression. Forcible conversion or tortuous death was the fate of many European and other original peoples, then Euros took that murder show on the road to the "Americas", and across the world.
I wish we can have pow wows, even if we're not native Americans. The way he described it sounds perfect, the perfect gathering of a community. It's beautiful.
Mana Green I didn’t hear anything about “stealing”.. You don’t decide who can participate in such dances or songs. Our Tradition is Our Religion, and anyone can partake as long as they’re willing to learn and not use the sacred knowledge for entertainment or personal gain and not to play with it.
Really enjoyed watching this ,I am from the U.K .I joined Green peace some 36 years ago so I understand the importance of our mother earth .back then l was regarded as just another tree hugging long haired hippie ,how times have changed.coming from a English Irish background I am also familiar to with Catholicism and the horror of this religion up until this day 'no disrespect to ordinary people who choose christianity' I believe an older way of thought to be the way so to see new generations adopting this makes my day. Peace love respect & power to all who love this earth
Hwllo from Vancouver Island! do you have an Instagram? I'd like to educate myself some more and be more aware...the research I've done might have been written by white people, so I'd like to know more directly from the source...let me know :)
I am happy to see a return of indigenous culture and customs. It is sad to see how much is lost. But I think it is not to late. What a time to be alive and watch the reimergence of the aboriginal faiths and languages. I can't wait to see with my own eyes all indigenous peoples living healthy and strong lives within their communities and ours. Especially when so many of us younger people are adopting their beliefs and customs as our own and moving on from a colonial dominant mindset. Alot of us young people love our great mother and want to see her thriving and pure again.
Animism is in all indigenous tribes of red, black, yellow, brown and white peoples and genders. Its whether you have attained your animal souls, that is important by paying your terrible past lives. Can't regain your animism souls without that purification.
Very general and clear explanation to me. We are inter-dependent with the nature of our planet. We are compassionate and care not only for our self but for the world and all of its species. Alignment with nature is the cure. Is Animism the first religion and the traditional values??
Animism is more of a science than a typical run-of-the-mill religion. It is about understanding nature and the power within it. There is no spiritual dualism, no salvation/damnation, only the beauty of the physical here and now.
I am an American, my descendants are from Europe. I am closest to them in our family heritage and ritual, but my spirituality comes from the earth. This land belongs to our North American indigenous people, their spirit and ancestors have been here for tens of thousands of years. I am a visitor that longs for a spirituality and community that modern culture cannot provide. How does one rectify this?
Sure is a good thing they pointed out that this was all possible through federal funding. God forbid anyone get the impression that this tribe is strong, self-sufficient, and capable of doing things on their own, I guess.
You don't understand the situation one bit. And before just shouting back arguments look at it from a Native American POV: They were just living the life they were living and then Europeans came and hunted them down and stole their homes. They were expected to leave or conform, but there was no more land, so they were forced to assimilate or die. And now you expect them to just have money. How can they have a lot of money? It doesn't grow off their backs. They were truly self sufficient, they were autarkic, and like the man sad: Capitalism isn't their way of life. Also, sorry for responding to your comment a year later, but whatever.
NATIVE AMERICAN LOVING KINDNESS: Loving kindness for the poor people, the manitou have noted their merits, their spiritual cleanliness makes them appear as radiant and physically clean as the wealthy and in this enlightened age the rich and poor mingle as one, without distinction, such is the openness of the heart, developed from years ago when the love began to trickle drop by drop, now the spirit lives without pretention, in a zen world both abundant, dynamic and safe. Loving kindness, for the stories of the world, they are able to be transmitted and received in comfort and without effort, rather than disease and sickness, the forests, the oceans, the towns, and the cities, mountains, and valleys alike are teeming with stories that can be enjoyed on the go or from the comfort and relaxation of ones own home. Loving kindness these stories have restored our belief in our magical selves, and defeated the shadows within by teaching us important morals of karma, and of noble conduct. Loving kindness for the bookstores of today, spreading good information, supporting good karma, and loving kindness for the pagans.loving kindness for bookstores refusing to stock books with incorrect information about the holocaust, that may for example try to identify the Nazi parties with practitioners of pagan faiths, who actually were discriminated against as much as jews by the Nazis who were uniformly Christian.Lovingkindness with events as important and tragic as the holocaust, let us be able to know the truth, and not lies, let us be able to take in the moral of what happened, and truly ensure such a thing cannot happen again.loving kindness, let us not try to destroy other kinds of people or faiths but to understand them better, and to be kinder to one another always. loving kindness may we have something in our American community that is attractive to someone of every heritage of the world, and may the community also be ecofriendly and not wasteful, may we remember our original hosts, the native American peoples who lived here long before us and may we honor their teaching of gratitude for the spirits in all things and honor, not concepts of ownership of the land.loving kindness for native American tribes and may we be visited by dreams that tell us more of the true victories of these noble people, rather than the easy to find recorded history, which highlights a path of hypocrisy violence and defeat...loving kindness, may the cultural dialogue be able to evolve and become more respectful, may the cultures be able to exist, in karmic balance again, fully paid back.the tribes are asking for no more construction in the united states, and instead for a redreaming of what occupies the structures that exist already, Long Bird, is noting that the old nightmare of bars and gun stores on most blocks is appearing again, along with towering buildings, and increased advertisement of gambling. We instead want to dream these buildings full of the stories of the peoples and heroes who overcame these kinds of situations, and of the tools for their avoidance, herbs and wise crafts, not guns. The sacred drum is played and the Manitou dances a balance back into the places that have become twisted...Walking Fish arrived on canoe, and hunts down the spirits the tried to corrupt these areas, trapping them, just as they tried to fish out the oysters and crabs of the sea, making them scarce, but now, the coral and ecosystem of the waves flourishes again, as their predators, abusive companies, and unconscious eating habits, are instead now poached away, by the good spirit dwelling in the soul of society.we are after all America, a country not of blood but of connection to all,
"The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant-it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing." animism kinda wins

Probably, the same reason that most of therm look like they could be from Scotland, & same reason that there, or nearby, is the province of Nova Scotia ( meaning New Scotland)
This should serve as clear evidence that not all "native American" cultures are the same, nor do they all (for some incredibly strange reason) wear Plains Indian regalia or share similar customs. Apparently there are "native Americans" that get their ideas of what it means to be indigenous from Hollywood movies, having no semblance at all to the aboriginal people and cultures of this land. I would even suggest that having to borrow from another Indian culture is evidence of being a culture vulture and a fake or inauthentic culture all together. I know for a fact that I'm not the only indigenous person who sees that these people are just dressed up, jumping around for no apparent reason. Frankly, I see nothing that indicates a shared experiences of people working to overcome the damage of inflicted by outsiders that left them dispossessed of their culture. land and heritage. Nor do I recognize any of the beauty that generally results from such a struggle. What I see looks more like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys that decided to dress up and play Indian, with no regard whatsoever of the people they have chosen to imitate. Then again, maybe it's just me.
The Cacique is asking for help.......YOU MUST READ THIS Honorable Mayor, With all respect, I humbly ask that you take the time from your important duties and obligations as Mayor of Amityville in the county of Suffolk in the empire state of New York in the country of the United States of America to read, investigate, analyze, judge and meditate under a prayerful heart what I will humbly request of you in this document of mutual communication as citizens of this great nation. You might not know me by name or title, I lived in the Village of Amityville in an adequate dwelling located in the corner of Oak and Lake in front of a beautiful park with a lake. You might have heard or known my family since we have been somewhat active in the community. My ex-wife Fanny Garcia has an educations degree and was a teacher in your school system for a while. My four sons, Renzo Andres, Ramon Antonio, Fabian Luis and Miguel Angel Garcia all studied proudly in the Amityville school system, participated in sports through your local clubs, worked in your local shops and businesses and attended our local Catholic church. I myself enjoy all this with my family and loved were I lived dearly. So what happened you might ask for me to be asking you for an urgent request now? Good question but if you do not already know let me first tell you a story about who I am... When every person is born we all are innocents, tender and in need of care; don't you agree? But, even though we are tiny, fragile and with soft skins, we all carry steal a great burden into life...The previous history of the life lived by our ancestors; is this right? We only know how great or small it is when we are told of it, but we are all born innocent of the previous acts of humanity. I was born on the 27th of February in the year of our Lord 1964 the day of the independence of the great land of my people Haiti Quisqueya, today known as Haiti/Dominican Republic, to a mother named Indiana and a father named Caonabo Garcia; the last silent Cacique of my land. At that time my mother Indiana was in New York City with a child in her belly was requested to return immediately to her land because the future Cacique needed to be born in the sacred land of his ancestors. You see honorable Mayor this fact I did not know at birth a fact that a neither asked or wanted but accepted as my fate in this the land of the living. When I was a child doing childish things I did not know history, family issues, secrets, death, agony, circumstances, responsibility, honor, loyalty, consequences....and must important who was an Indian....not to mention a Cacique and what that meant until I was trained by my elders from my birth until to the 12th of December of the year of or lord 1973 when for the first time in my life I left the country of my birth and stepped upon the land of the free in the city of New York in the empire state of United States. I did not question the fact that even though my father was the inspector of the system of education in my country I never attended public school but was personally trained...I thought that was normal but was not. I learned about our role as a family descendant of the Great Caciques of the Maya / Aztec Empire, I learned how we came to this land surrounded by waters, how we lived, our culture, our civilization, our beliefs and our struggles to survive. I learn how my people one day believe in and embraced a great wondering Cacique that appeared walking the lands because he was the perfect example to imitate, not just because of his words, but because of his actions, deeds, love, and miracles performed. I was told many, many times in many different ways how as he departed towards the East hovering on top of the waters after promising that one day he will return my people without hesitation or fear, full of love and passion, entered their ships and followed him into the unexplored waters after him. My people the Mayas discovered first Cuban (The land first touched) a short distance away, when into Jamaica ( Land of the Gods because it was so beautiful ) and settled in Haiti Quisquella ( Land of high mountain rest of the Great Cacique ) stayed, my beloved Island land that I Love. There we waited for his return...and...there we became TAINOS. It was hard for me been so young to understand, cope or comprehend what that descriptive word meant.....my best meaning is and what I understood after many years is....Godlike. As the time of my departure to safety in the Super Power of the time the United States of America drew near, even though I was not fully of age, I was told our cruel reality and the dangers of revealing our well-kept secret to the world. Why? DANGER OF DEATH. My ancestral Grandfather in 1492, when we supposedly were discovered, was Caonabo, my Grandmother was Anacaona together they were the Mayor Caciques of that time, Caonabo the Cacique who became CARIBE for the first time in our history. Caribe was a descriptive word that was very hard for me to understand even to this day.... my best meaning is and what I understood after many years is....The devil incarnated. It was told to me many times to calm my young spirit down from anguish when I used to hear them speak and describe the works and magnitude of selfless brutality this sound conveyed that they assured me that it is impossible to become Caribe voluntarily. To become one is only possible if the God of the Universe himself allows it for his glory. So, why did the godhead of his people become one?; When he realized that his hope of being able to finally see with his own eyes what his people were so anciently waiting for for so long was not true but a total lie. Engulfed in deep spiritual mourning over the fact that the person that he believed to be the Great Cacique of our past turned out to be a salvage. They came not to love but to rape, not to give but to take, not to heal but to kill. So he was turned CARIBE for the first time in his life. Then he proceeded to destroy their fort “La Navidad”, killed all but a few, took all their possessions and forced the saved ones under submission to teach us how to use and operate their foreign weapons and prepared for the return of the in basils. WAR was declared. It took trickery from the Spaniards to be able to submit, capture and then kill this great man. CAONABO After he was dead his wife continued with the struggle until she was tricked once again like her husband had been tricked into committing a larger mistake; remembering the Taino’s way of life, trusting and believing their intention for peace she was convinced to gather all the Caciques of the Islands to meet in a formal consul to negotiate peace amongst them; as the Caciques were seated and waiting inside the palace meeting hall and my Grandmother was outside inquiring why was taking so long to commence the meeting and talking to them, she witnessed with her own eyes how the soldiers of the enemy closed down the assembly and put it ablaze killing all inside it. Later as an example to her people she was hanged in the great plaza, cut into pieces and her bones and flesh were displayed all over the land. Our people fell under a dark cloud of an intense feeling of mourning, anguish, and hate and now we all became CARIBE against them. Fleeing for their lives, they mistakenly forgot about her young daughter, my ancestral Grandmother who was immediately protected and concealed. later she married my ancestral Grandfather known all over the world as Cacique Enriquillo. Tainos from birth, both of them became submissive to the new order and followed willingly the newly established laws and ordinances enforced by the new rulers. Knowing who they were in secret and what they represented to the people they submitted themselves to the point of becoming slaves under the new law of retribution and repartition established by Spain. Under their new master they followed instructions and obeyed faithfully and with joy were baptized with foreign names and they would have continued like this into death, but their master committed a grave mistake - He tried to commit the sin of rape. They ran away and in hiding, under the darkness of the night he was made CARIBE and felt, this awful taste and this intense pain in the heart for the first time in his life and because he was trapped with no way to go he submitted to the evil that he felt within and declared WAR again.. The war that he and his braves orchestrated lasted for another 20 years until the King of Spain himself was obliged to offer the first peace treaty of the new world to him under Enriquillo terms in order to stop the bloodshed of his Spaniards people. The treaty was honored for a few years until they killed him, The Cacique was buried in his sacred grounds in the area of the country were he specified under his terms in the treaty. Of course, his tomb became a place of pilgrimage for our people until they neglected their contract, abounded their words sealed and signed by their Kings, desecrated his tumb and built a Catholic church on top of his bones. They did not learn from the past and Spanish blood started to inundate the land again until they discovered the perfect weapon to submit our rage and destroy our race...the biological weapon of decease used to genocide our people all over the Americas. Now you know why the sea surrounding our Islands is not called today the Taino sea but it acquired the name of the Caribbean Sea because of all the years of suffering by millions of people from both sides of the conflict shedding their blood-fighting courageously for a just and Godly cause... to protect the lives and future of our people in the continents. When our people finally realized that in reality under the disguise of evil came to our land the Great Cacique that all along we all have been waiting for attached to wood posts poring his divine love to all the believers we received peace. ...( cont. upon request at renzocgarcia@gmail.com
+Svava Ironwood Scot/Irish are Scottish who were brought to Ireland by the illegal occupation of and colonisation of Ireland by the British to settle, in ulster, to drive the Irish out ,but instead they became integrated together they are not "Celtic norsemen" and that's why the northern Irish accent and Scottish accent are so hard to tell apart . Irish people practised paganism before st Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland and it wasn't the same form exactly as scandavian one .. the Wiccan religion derived most of its beliefs and practices from gaelic paganism .
Fresh There were some Natives. And some were mixed. And there were some that did not look Native at all. Fresh I'm a Native indigenous woman from the Cherokee and Apache tribes. Stay blessed by the great spirit. Wado. ✌️✨
It is important for people to think before criticizing here. First Nations people come in all shapes and sizes, colors and traditions. The governments which established themselves on this continent beginning in the 1600`s , did everything possible to exterminate the red race, to whom The Great Spirit had entrusted this continent. Their children were stolen from them. Their homes were burned down in subzero weather, and the army brought them blankets to keep them warm; but those blankets were infected with smallpox. General Custer personally cut the unborn babies from their mothers wombs. Those of you who would criticize how these people have come to LOOK after several hundred years of assimilation, yet know nothing of their actual history, need a lesson in humility, and in grace. Do you critics look like your 8x great grand father? Well, you would not know would you? The traditions here are what are of importance, not how deep the persons tan is. People live in houses now, and are not under the sun from dawn to dusk. I am sorry for those of you who watched this and learned nothing. I am sorry that your parents failed to give you any depth of character.

Chief Michael traditional people are traditional people that Traditions cans for the original bands are founding fathers Christianity came in it's not considered traditional Christianity is a religion of the colonists it is my understanding that this came to be due to hunger of our people traditional people extends from the Trail of Tears to say that Christianity is traditional is like saying traditional people are like basketball players makes no sense I understand that your search is back to your original bands good luck in your search
Animism is the true way of life and belief for humanity. Soon, the people of the 4 directions (black, white, red and yellow) shall all move to the Red Way of life. This is it: We are all one with the Great Spirit, and the Great Spirit is one with us. For everythink you take, you give. The 4 directions of the self are the Spirit, the Body, the Mind, and the Emotion. As the invaders of Turtle Island converted Natives to their religion, soon too the children of those who came (Black, White, and Yellow) will unconvert and revert to the Great Spirit (Animism).
I respect the Native Americans. I don't support the hunting of the animals though, because I view all living creature equally important. The ancient hunters were different from today's hunters. Today's hunters are cowards. The ancient hunters were one with the wolfs & the lions, and they only killed for food or defense. Not anymore. Animals are very mistreated by humans today. As far as Catholicism, Christianity or other forms of monotheism, it's a foreign religion which was forced on the Native American people, just like it was forced on African Americans. In fact the world at large didn't welcome monotheism with open arms. Monotheism forced itself on the world through fear tactics, torture, war, suppression of knowledge, deception, propaganda, and destruction of all indigenous people from around the world and the destruction of nature based spirituality
I actually found an example of Ojibwe prayer. I couldn't even begin to quote it, but it expresses deep sorrow, pain & apology for being forced to kill in order to live. The basic idea is there is a certain air of ceremony surrounding the hunt which involves worship in the beginning, middle & end. Essentially, to them, everything in nature is protected by spiritual beings. Humans, however, already fill that capacity for themselves, so they do not have a specific spirit clan watching over themselves. But, the other clans, including the ones who protect the animals, view them as family & it's almost a kind of solemn pact between man & the spirit world to take a life in a hunt. So, a person would pray for a good hunt, upon which, the spirits would take your need into account, then choose one of their family to be sacrificed to you for your survival. Therefore, if the spirits were not respected, then they would come for you, slaughter you & defile you in the same way you had done to their family.
I don't mean any disrespect by this, but from my own studies, I think some of what you said may be inaccurate & might be based on assumptions made without being able to see the full picture of the past on certain issues. And, believe me, I understand full well how & why that could have happened. And all I can say in terms of the discrimination is basically that most people don't understand much about their native ancestry one way or the other. They don't understand that things have really changed that much, either, or the abuses Native people went through for about 100 years after their conquest. I have two younger brothers- both adults. The one doesn't want anything to do with native culture except learning the language, then took one look at word examples & immediately gave up. The other, upon learning we were Blackfoot, literally started chanting "We D'N***afeet." As much as it pains me to say, he is about 20. And, parts of native culture are, understandably, private, but that's largely been up to the tribes themselves. And, besides, it's usually the ceremonies themselves that are kept for only the initiated, correct? I know what you're talking about when you say ceremonies have been performed for a long time, almost as sideshow acts, so I understand the upset. However, the prayer I read was posted in a book on Ojibwe mythology & religion. It's already openly accessible to the public, so I don't think there's an issue where they're concerned.
I agree, in general. Most of it, however, doesn't appear to necessarily be lies, but misunderstanding. I've had a great deal of success organizing it all by studying work done on multiple tribes & trying to figure out what fits where & how, but it is a very slow, & still ongoing, process. Working off of the Lakota, for instance, what I often see is, because both Lakota & English are such complex languages, but in completely different ways, "bad English" for them would often consist of endless rambling that seemed like it was constantly jumping from subject to subject at random or sentences that would simply never manage to get to the point. I hope an example isn't seen as rude, but "The Dog ate my homework." might turn into, "You ask me in which place my homework now lies, and I tell you, I have this dog and he is hungry and quite obnoxious today, therefore my homework cannot be here this day." Anyone can see how that might drain on people or get confusing after a while. After all, there were only three or four guys working on this stuff in the late 1800s & a lot of researchers really didn't work off of one another, or do so very well & by the time people started taking things seriously, almost all the real knowledge was gone. Unfortunately, that's the best we have & it is often disjointed, incomplete or just very poorly stated in general. But, back to the point, the only things I think were off in what you said the first time were the beliefs that your people created native science & the idea of the "pow wow." I think I know what you were referring to-- the Chaco culture & the Ghost Dance Protest in the 1800s-- but I don't actually think the southwestern nations necessarily came up with the idea behind those, despite the fact that those are definitely achievements to be proud of as they are. Feasting & Dancing seems like it was a general part of all Native religions in one form or another & what I can already see is that there was a massive amount of crossover from culture to culture (for instance, even though there are about 20 different native ethnic groups in the Continental US alone, there's maybe only about 5 distinct religions among them.) But, I'm not sure that has that much to do with cultural origin, but moreso of cultures consistently melding together & working together over a long period of time. That crossover between cultures, however, does mean most of that disjointed information can actually be put back together. Beyond that, though, I'm still unsure of whether you're talking about just native people in Mexico, or that entire culture region, which continues a fair way into the US. I realize, as you say, you are from Mexico. But, I could swear I've heard of similar forced labor scams occurring in the US as well, where natives were forced to create souvenir works for tourists. I do know that most of the accurate native iconography that exists in the market & is recognizable as native art by the average American does come from that region, but that doesn't necessarily mean that other native groups haven't kept a lot of their own culture or that those things don't exist anymore.
Karina Nalbandyan That is precisely one of the reasons I went Vegan! It's a shame, that living beings are treated in such a way now as if they are things and not a living, breathing, thinking beings that also have a will to live. I'm happy to find someone who holds the same beliefs. :) Peace and love to you.
cekinxxx actually if we’re talking about the Bible that’s not true. God had to kill an animal for Adam and eves sake AFTER they had disobeyed his command. They were given access to the fruit of all the trees except the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. According to the Bible man was meant to be vegetarian, but our disobedience brought the fall which has brought about the tragic sacrificing of the lives of others as a natural consequence of our sin. I don’t believe the Bible is true at all but according to the Bible man was not created to eat animals.
With all respect and from peace, you all couldn’t have 10% indigenous blood it would show up in your phenotypes. You look European, sound European your names are European. Let’s all be honest and look at this subjectively not from ear but from actual attempts of listening to history and nature.
It’s funny how people who are not native or don’t belong to this indigenous nation( Mikmaq) have no problem telling people who they are, that is not your place or right to tell someone what there identity is, that practice in itself is racist, racial profiling is extremely wrong and no human has that right, the Canadian and US governments created the system to tell who is a indian and who isn’t by their standard which for some fucked up reason has the rest of the non indigenous world thinking they have a say in who looks indigenous, um bitches please, I’m a Mikmaq enrolled member of elsipogtog First Nation New Brunswick, I’m a light skinned native, and I will never let anyone belittle me for my skin colour, those the commenters who feel they have a right to racially profile people, no you don’t, you have zero right in that is your only human yourself, to all the non indigenous people of the world, remember your place on this earth and learn from the disgusting colonialism history of your ancestors,to make the world British, to make the world French, kill the Indian save the man
Evans Woolfe Media would support Native producers and storytellers to tell their own worldview instead of profiting off Euro interpretation, perpetuated half-truths and stereotypes like this. But it is the age-old practice of misinterpretation and only using bits and pieces of a whole they do not understand as a people. Very human zoo-ish, voyeur-like quality of this video. Plus so many mispronounciations by the narrator, completely unacceptable but again, typical.

There is no church built by men as magnificent as the world around us.
Jockjammer wow so r u a neo pagan also animas too
Many ‘temples’ and ‘holy places’ of the old ways were built on ley lines. Almost like they felt it. Look it up.
Is that a quote or did you just come up with that?
@@webbess1 It's not a quote. I've been saying that most of life when people try to tell me I should go to church. ;)
@@izzyyellowhair7117 Well i found out quite some years ago that according to modern definition I am a Neo-Pagan and I believe in Animism. I wasn't raised that way. I just found my own way in life by actually listening and feeling the world instead of blocking it out with narrow walls and definitions. Maybe I'm just born different? who really knows? I try to keep an open mind about most things.
Animism is not a religion, it's a way of seeing the world.
Every time I watch something like that I feel deep, deep sorrow and disgust of what European colonizers did to all indigenous people on Earth. It is a crime like no other... to take someone's land, identity, language, religion, customs, ancestry. I am so sorry :( for what we, Europeans had done,
It was a different time and consciousness. And the Europeans were also under that tryanny having to conform to community. standard. Illiteracy was the majority.
Europeans didn’t do anything differently than what had been practiced for 1,000’s of years, except help the world progress past certain practices such as child sacrifice, slavery and countless other progression in human rights.
Europeans and western civilization are 100% judged unfairly when it comes to stuff.
I love and respect certain aspects of Native American, culture and fat by no means do I buy into the myth that “native Americans“ were living in peace and harmony with the land, and each other before the “white man “came.
@GraphicomCro These people are mixed you idiot! You ruin these videos because you don't know enough to SHUT UP.
@@fisherstrong6 Child sacrifice was extremely rare. These are lies propagated by the church to demonize pagans.
Todos los nativos hicieron sacrificios y esclavizaron?
Interesting people....and wise. Native people are connected to earth...as it should be. Showing respect for others....to the planet. I admire them for that and more.

Thanks for uploading this. Its amazing that the true cultures are awakening again helps ground a person to have a history :-)
Love this! Thank you so much! Feel less lost now. I believe Animistic Culture is deeply rooted in my soul.
I wish i could know beautiful things like this.
my family has been lost from our ancestors ways 😢
Arianna minihahas someday u will.. u can dream of it..if ur ancestors will come in ur dream and teach in a natural way
You will be someone's ancestor. I think the best things we can do is learn ancestral skills, live as much in reciprocity with the earth as possible, connect to place and community and do what we can to give the natives on this continent as much power and land back as we can (in part by listening to them and ask what we can do)
Absolutely beautiful. I just finished a podcast on Animism in mythology, but it’s so much more beautiful seeing the tradition still alive today. I did my best to capture the stories as they were told in the past, but Canada especially is doing a great job at keeping these cultures and traditions and lifestyles alive today and going forward. Well done!
Beautiful! Thank you :) keep banging the drum! :D
Animism is not subjective to native Americans it is the oldest religion/belief ever so that is a huge misconception but the native Americans did practice there own version of it. Animism is an unorganized religion more a broad statement of life it doesn’t have strict rules. People who always talk about offensive to say spirit animal should not come so quick to conclusions maybe the person is being legit but most the time not and the people who are calling people out on it don’t actually know what they are talking about and should do more research about what “Native American religion” and they would soon learn it’s not just them who believe. I personal believe in animism and I hate it when people say I’m not aloud to believe because I’m white. That is racism. And I know this got really off track but my point is animism is not an ‘just’ Native American religion.
Shae colean lol shrug it off. I hate hearing brown natives saying they’re more native then me because I’m a halfbreed yet they don’t follow the middle path like our ancestors. As far as people of Europeans decent following the traditions of other cultures it’s np. Others seem to forget that your ancestors were tribal once too
No it isn't, but the natives are the oldest keepers of this knowledge since the "civilization" of tribal people from across the world have lost the traditions and spiritual knowledge that were passed down generations. The natives have so much spiritual knowledge that are kept within and are unknown to many. This knowledge is so valuable and sacred that that is the reason why they refuse to assimilate is to preserve it.
I've never heard of animism
@@phillipdaugherty1486 it is the belief that there is spirit to some degree in everything
We are NOT past tense. And it is not religion, which is a Eurocentric practice of oversimplification and mislabeling based on their own compartmentalized thoughts and practices. That said, this video is ignorant though seeming well-intentioned. It is also very, very y8t (the created culture that often includes (mis)labeling "Others" and overlaying European narratives and structures on others. Instead of doing so (and if they really respected Native peoples), Evans Woolfe Media would just support Native producers and storytellers to tell their own worldview instead of profiting off interpretation, perpetuated half-truths and stereotypes like this. But it is the age-old practice of misinterpretation and only using bits and pieces of a whole they do not understand as a people. Very human zoo-ish, voyeur-like quality of this video.

As you say, 100% agreed, animism and respect for/connection to the Earth and gathered generational experience is Indigenous. Indigenous and original peoples exist around the world, including Europe, who believed and still practice such belief systems. It preceded Christianity, and only is more limited today due to Christian extremism, intolerance and oppression. Forcible conversion or tortuous death was the fate of many European and other original peoples, then Euros took that murder show on the road to the "Americas", and across the world.
I wish we can have pow wows, even if we're not native Americans. The way he described it sounds perfect, the perfect gathering of a community. It's beautiful.

Mana Green I didn’t hear anything about “stealing”.. You don’t decide who can participate in such dances or songs.
Our Tradition is Our Religion, and anyone can partake as long as they’re willing to learn and not use the sacred knowledge for entertainment or personal gain and not to play with it.
And it is coming. Just keep your eyes open for this kinda stuff near you! :)
Really enjoyed watching this ,I am from the U.K .I joined Green peace some 36 years ago so I understand the importance of our mother earth .back then l was regarded as just another tree hugging long haired hippie ,how times have changed.coming from a English Irish background I am also familiar to with Catholicism and the horror of this religion up until this day 'no disrespect to ordinary people who choose christianity' I believe an older way of thought to be the way so to see new generations adopting this makes my day. Peace love respect & power to all who love this earth
I am Native American,no way would I ever be a Christian ever. I consider myself to be more of a spiritual person.

Hwllo from Vancouver Island! do you have an Instagram? I'd like to educate myself some more and be more aware...the research I've done might have been written by white people, so I'd like to know more directly from the source...let me know :)
I am happy to see a return of indigenous culture and customs. It is sad to see how much is lost. But I think it is not to late. What a time to be alive and watch the reimergence of the aboriginal faiths and languages. I can't wait to see with my own eyes all indigenous peoples living healthy and strong lives within their communities and ours. Especially when so many of us younger people are adopting their beliefs and customs as our own and moving on from a colonial dominant mindset. Alot of us young people love our great mother and want to see her thriving and pure again.
Animism is in all indigenous tribes of red, black, yellow, brown and white peoples and genders. Its whether you have attained your animal souls, that is important by paying your terrible past lives. Can't regain your animism souls without that purification.

Very general and clear explanation to me. We are inter-dependent with the nature of our planet. We are compassionate and care not only for our self but for the world and all of its species. Alignment with nature is the cure. Is Animism the first religion and the traditional values??
Indigenous Ethics and Lifestyle @ 2:58
i love these people omg they're so awesome. watching it again.
Animism is more of a science than a typical run-of-the-mill religion. It is about understanding nature and the power within it. There is no spiritual dualism, no salvation/damnation, only the beauty of the physical here and now.

I am an American, my descendants are from Europe. I am closest to them in our family heritage and ritual, but my spirituality comes from the earth. This land belongs to our North American indigenous people, their spirit and ancestors have been here for tens of thousands of years. I am a visitor that longs for a spirituality and community that modern culture cannot provide. How does one rectify this?
They have such a beautiful culture.

I love that Native Americans are throwing off the religion of their conquerers and returning to their roots.
Sure is a good thing they pointed out that this was all possible through federal funding. God forbid anyone get the impression that this tribe is strong, self-sufficient, and capable of doing things on their own, I guess.
Bill Wiltfong oh you mean before WE TOOK THEIR HOME...AMERICA
Why did you take their home, Barbara? You shouldn't have done that.
You don't understand the situation one bit. And before just shouting back arguments look at it from a Native American POV: They were just living the life they were living and then Europeans came and hunted them down and stole their homes. They were expected to leave or conform, but there was no more land, so they were forced to assimilate or die. And now you expect them to just have money. How can they have a lot of money? It doesn't grow off their backs. They were truly self sufficient, they were autarkic, and like the man sad: Capitalism isn't their way of life. Also, sorry for responding to your comment a year later, but whatever.

NATIVE AMERICAN LOVING KINDNESS: Loving kindness for the poor people, the manitou have noted their merits, their spiritual cleanliness makes them appear as radiant and physically clean as the wealthy and in this enlightened age the rich and poor mingle as one, without distinction, such is the openness of the heart, developed from years ago when the love began to trickle drop by drop, now the spirit lives without pretention, in a zen world both abundant, dynamic and safe. Loving kindness, for the stories of the world, they are able to be transmitted and received in comfort and without effort, rather than disease and sickness, the forests, the oceans, the towns, and the cities, mountains, and valleys alike are teeming with stories that can be enjoyed on the go or from the comfort and relaxation of ones own home. Loving kindness these stories have restored our belief in our magical selves, and defeated the shadows within by teaching us important morals of karma, and of noble conduct. Loving kindness for the bookstores of today, spreading good information, supporting good karma, and loving kindness for the pagans.loving kindness for bookstores refusing to stock books with incorrect information about the holocaust, that may for example try to identify the Nazi parties with practitioners of pagan faiths, who actually were discriminated against as much as jews by the Nazis who were uniformly Christian.Lovingkindness with events as important and tragic as the holocaust, let us be able to know the truth, and not lies, let us be able to take in the moral of what happened, and truly ensure such a thing cannot happen again.loving kindness, let us not try to destroy other kinds of people or faiths but to understand them better, and to be kinder to one another always. loving kindness may we have something in our American community that is attractive to someone of every heritage of the world, and may the community also be ecofriendly and not wasteful, may we remember our original hosts, the native American peoples who lived here long before us and may we honor their teaching of gratitude for the spirits in all things and honor, not concepts of ownership of the land.loving kindness for native American tribes and may we be visited by dreams that tell us more of the true victories of these noble people, rather than the easy to find recorded history, which highlights a path of hypocrisy violence and defeat...loving kindness, may the cultural dialogue be able to evolve and become more respectful, may the cultures be able to exist, in karmic balance again, fully paid back.the tribes are asking for no more construction in the united states, and instead for a redreaming of what occupies the structures that exist already, Long Bird, is noting that the old nightmare of bars and gun stores on most blocks is appearing again, along with towering buildings, and increased advertisement of gambling. We instead want to dream these buildings full of the stories of the peoples and heroes who overcame these kinds of situations, and of the tools for their avoidance, herbs and wise crafts, not guns. The sacred drum is played and the Manitou dances a balance back into the places that have become twisted...Walking Fish arrived on canoe, and hunts down the spirits the tried to corrupt these areas, trapping them, just as they tried to fish out the oysters and crabs of the sea, making them scarce, but now, the coral and ecosystem of the waves flourishes again, as their predators, abusive companies, and unconscious eating habits, are instead now poached away, by the good spirit dwelling in the soul of society.we are after all America, a country not of blood but of connection to all,
Yea ok.
"The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant-it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing." animism kinda wins

Good video. But actually about the Mi'kmaq people, not animism.
This should serve as clear evidence that not all "native American" cultures are the same, nor do they all (for some incredibly strange reason) wear Plains Indian regalia or share similar customs.
Apparently there are "native Americans" that get their ideas of what it means to be indigenous from Hollywood movies, having no semblance at all to the aboriginal people and cultures of this land.
I would even suggest that having to borrow from another Indian culture is evidence of being a culture vulture and a fake or inauthentic culture all together. I know for a fact that I'm not the only indigenous person who sees that these people are just dressed up, jumping around for no apparent reason. Frankly, I see nothing that indicates a shared experiences of people working to overcome the damage of inflicted by outsiders that left them dispossessed of their culture. land and heritage. Nor do I recognize any of the beauty that generally results from such a struggle. What I see looks more like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys that decided to dress up and play Indian, with no regard whatsoever of the people they have chosen to imitate. Then again, maybe it's just me.

The Cacique is asking for help.......YOU MUST READ THIS
Honorable Mayor,
With all respect, I humbly ask that you take the time from your important duties and obligations as Mayor of Amityville in the county of Suffolk in the empire state of New York in the country of the United States of America to read, investigate, analyze, judge and meditate under a prayerful heart what I will humbly request of you in this document of mutual communication as citizens of this great nation.
You might not know me by name or title, I lived in the Village of Amityville in an adequate dwelling located in the corner of Oak and Lake in front of a beautiful park with a lake. You might have heard or known my family since we have been somewhat active in the community. My ex-wife Fanny Garcia has an educations degree and was a teacher in your school system for a while. My four sons, Renzo Andres, Ramon Antonio, Fabian Luis and Miguel Angel Garcia all studied proudly in the Amityville school system, participated in sports through your local clubs, worked in your local shops and businesses and attended our local Catholic church. I myself enjoy all this with my family and loved were I lived dearly. So what happened you might ask for me to be asking you for an urgent request now? Good question but if you do not already know let me first tell you a story about who I am...
When every person is born we all are innocents, tender and in need of care; don't you agree? But, even though we are tiny, fragile and with soft skins, we all carry steal a great burden into life...The previous history of the life lived by our ancestors; is this right? We only know how great or small it is when we are told of it, but we are all born innocent of the previous acts of humanity. I was born on the 27th of February in the year of our Lord 1964 the day of the independence of the great land of my people Haiti Quisqueya, today known as Haiti/Dominican Republic, to a mother named Indiana and a father named Caonabo Garcia; the last silent Cacique of my land. At that time my mother Indiana was in New York City with a child in her belly was requested to return immediately to her land because the future Cacique needed to be born in the sacred land of his ancestors.
You see honorable Mayor this fact I did not know at birth a fact that a neither asked or wanted but accepted as my fate in this the land of the living. When I was a child doing childish things I did not know history, family issues, secrets, death, agony, circumstances, responsibility, honor, loyalty, consequences....and must important who was an Indian....not to mention a Cacique and what that meant until I was trained by my elders from my birth until to the 12th of December of the year of or lord 1973 when for the first time in my life I left the country of my birth and stepped upon the land of the free in the city of New York in the empire state of United States. I did not question the fact that even though my father was the inspector of the system of education in my country I never attended public school but was personally trained...I thought that was normal but was not. I learned about our role as a family descendant of the Great Caciques of the Maya / Aztec Empire, I learned how we came to this land surrounded by waters, how we lived, our culture, our civilization, our beliefs and our struggles to survive. I learn how my people one day believe in and embraced a great wondering Cacique that appeared walking the lands because he was the perfect example to imitate, not just because of his words, but because of his actions, deeds, love, and miracles performed. I was told many, many times in many different ways how as he departed towards the East hovering on top of the waters after promising that one day he will return my people without hesitation or fear, full of love and passion, entered their ships and followed him into the unexplored waters after him. My people the Mayas discovered first Cuban (The land first touched) a short distance away, when into Jamaica ( Land of the Gods because it was so beautiful ) and settled in Haiti Quisquella ( Land of high mountain rest of the Great Cacique ) stayed, my beloved Island land that I Love. There we waited for his return...and...there we became TAINOS. It was hard for me been so young to understand, cope or comprehend what that descriptive word meant.....my best meaning is and what I understood after many years is....Godlike.
As the time of my departure to safety in the Super Power of the time the United States of America drew near, even though I was not fully of age, I was told our cruel reality and the dangers of revealing our well-kept secret to the world. Why? DANGER OF DEATH. My ancestral Grandfather in 1492, when we supposedly were discovered, was Caonabo, my Grandmother was Anacaona together they were the Mayor Caciques of that time, Caonabo the Cacique who became CARIBE for the first time in our history. Caribe was a descriptive word that was very hard for me to understand even to this day.... my best meaning is and what I understood after many years is....The devil incarnated. It was told to me many times to calm my young spirit down from anguish when I used to hear them speak and describe the works and magnitude of selfless brutality this sound conveyed that they assured me that it is impossible to become Caribe voluntarily. To become one is only possible if the God of the Universe himself allows it for his glory. So, why did the godhead of his people become one?; When he realized that his hope of being able to finally see with his own eyes what his people were so anciently waiting for for so long was not true but a total lie. Engulfed in deep spiritual mourning over the fact that the person that he believed to be the Great Cacique of our past turned out to be a salvage. They came not to love but to rape, not to give but to take, not to heal but to kill. So he was turned CARIBE for the first time in his life. Then he proceeded to destroy their fort “La Navidad”, killed all but a few, took all their possessions and forced the saved ones under submission to teach us how to use and operate their foreign weapons and prepared for the return of the in basils. WAR was declared. It took trickery from the Spaniards to be able to submit, capture and then kill this great man. CAONABO After he was dead his wife continued with the struggle until she was tricked once again like her husband had been tricked into committing a larger mistake; remembering the Taino’s way of life, trusting and believing their intention for peace she was convinced to gather all the Caciques of the Islands to meet in a formal consul to negotiate peace amongst them; as the Caciques were seated and waiting inside the palace meeting hall and my Grandmother was outside inquiring why was taking so long to commence the meeting and talking to them, she witnessed with her own eyes how the soldiers of the enemy closed down the assembly and put it ablaze killing all inside it. Later as an example to her people she was hanged in the great plaza, cut into pieces and her bones and flesh were displayed all over the land. Our people fell under a dark cloud of an intense feeling of mourning, anguish, and hate and now we all became CARIBE against them. Fleeing for their lives, they mistakenly forgot about her young daughter, my ancestral Grandmother who was immediately protected and concealed. later she married my ancestral Grandfather known all over the world as Cacique Enriquillo.
Tainos from birth, both of them became submissive to the new order and followed willingly the newly established laws and ordinances enforced by the new rulers. Knowing who they were in secret and what they represented to the people they submitted themselves to the point of becoming slaves under the new law of retribution and repartition established by Spain. Under their new master they followed instructions and obeyed faithfully and with joy were baptized with foreign names and they would have continued like this into death, but their master committed a grave mistake - He tried to commit the sin of rape. They ran away and in hiding, under the darkness of the night he was made CARIBE and felt, this awful taste and this intense pain in the heart for the first time in his life and because he was trapped with no way to go he submitted to the evil that he felt within and declared WAR again.. The war that he and his braves orchestrated lasted for another 20 years until the King of Spain himself was obliged to offer the first peace treaty of the new world to him under Enriquillo terms in order to stop the bloodshed of his Spaniards people. The treaty was honored for a few years until they killed him, The Cacique was buried in his sacred grounds in the area of the country were he specified under his terms in the treaty. Of course, his tomb became a place of pilgrimage for our people until they neglected their contract, abounded their words sealed and signed by their Kings, desecrated his tumb and built a Catholic church on top of his bones. They did not learn from the past and Spanish blood started to inundate the land again until they discovered the perfect weapon to submit our rage and destroy our race...the biological weapon of decease used to genocide our people all over the Americas.
Now you know why the sea surrounding our Islands is not called today the Taino sea but it acquired the name of the Caribbean Sea because of all the years of suffering by millions of people from both sides of the conflict shedding their blood-fighting courageously for a just and Godly cause... to protect the lives and future of our people in the continents.
When our people finally realized that in reality under the disguise of evil came to our land the Great Cacique that all along we all have been waiting for attached to wood posts poring his divine love to all the believers we received peace. ...( cont. upon request at renzocgarcia@gmail.com

Irish people practised paganism before st Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland and it wasn't the same form exactly as scandavian one .. the Wiccan religion derived most of its beliefs and practices from gaelic paganism .

It is important for people to think before criticizing here. First Nations people come in all shapes and sizes, colors and traditions. The governments which established themselves on this continent beginning in the 1600`s , did everything possible to exterminate the red race, to whom The Great Spirit had entrusted this continent. Their children were stolen from them. Their homes were burned down in subzero weather, and the army brought them blankets to keep them warm; but those blankets were infected with smallpox. General Custer personally cut the unborn babies from their mothers wombs. Those of you who would criticize how these people have come to LOOK after several hundred years of assimilation, yet know nothing of their actual history, need a lesson in humility, and in grace. Do you critics look like your 8x great grand father? Well, you would not know would you? The traditions here are what are of importance, not how deep the persons tan is. People live in houses now, and are not under the sun from dawn to dusk. I am sorry for those of you who watched this and learned nothing. I am sorry that your parents failed to give you any depth of character.

l'nuisi its that easy
What an absolute shame that they confirmed to the Catholic religion. It is so beneath them.
Animism is the true way of life and belief for humanity. Soon, the people of the 4 directions (black, white, red and yellow) shall all move to the Red Way of life. This is it:
We are all one with the Great Spirit, and the Great Spirit is one with us.
For everythink you take, you give.
The 4 directions of the self are the Spirit, the Body, the Mind, and the Emotion.
As the invaders of Turtle Island converted Natives to their religion, soon too the children of those who came (Black, White, and Yellow) will unconvert and revert to the Great Spirit (Animism).

I respect the Native Americans. I don't support the hunting of the animals though, because I view all living creature equally important. The ancient hunters were different from today's hunters. Today's hunters are cowards. The ancient hunters were one with the wolfs & the lions, and they only killed for food or defense. Not anymore. Animals are very mistreated by humans today. As far as Catholicism, Christianity or other forms of monotheism, it's a foreign religion which was forced on the Native American people, just like it was forced on African Americans. In fact the world at large didn't welcome monotheism with open arms. Monotheism forced itself on the world through fear tactics, torture, war, suppression of knowledge, deception, propaganda, and destruction of all indigenous people from around the world and the destruction of nature based spirituality
I actually found an example of Ojibwe prayer. I couldn't even begin to quote it, but it expresses deep sorrow, pain & apology for being forced to kill in order to live. The basic idea is there is a certain air of ceremony surrounding the hunt which involves worship in the beginning, middle & end. Essentially, to them, everything in nature is protected by spiritual beings. Humans, however, already fill that capacity for themselves, so they do not have a specific spirit clan watching over themselves. But, the other clans, including the ones who protect the animals, view them as family & it's almost a kind of solemn pact between man & the spirit world to take a life in a hunt. So, a person would pray for a good hunt, upon which, the spirits would take your need into account, then choose one of their family to be sacrificed to you for your survival.
Therefore, if the spirits were not respected, then they would come for you, slaughter you & defile you in the same way you had done to their family.
I don't mean any disrespect by this, but from my own studies, I think some of what you said may be inaccurate & might be based on assumptions made without being able to see the full picture of the past on certain issues. And, believe me, I understand full well how & why that could have happened. And all I can say in terms of the discrimination is basically that most people don't understand much about their native ancestry one way or the other. They don't understand that things have really changed that much, either, or the abuses Native people went through for about 100 years after their conquest. I have two younger brothers- both adults. The one doesn't want anything to do with native culture except learning the language, then took one look at word examples & immediately gave up. The other, upon learning we were Blackfoot, literally started chanting "We D'N***afeet." As much as it pains me to say, he is about 20.
And, parts of native culture are, understandably, private, but that's largely been up to the tribes themselves. And, besides, it's usually the ceremonies themselves that are kept for only the initiated, correct? I know what you're talking about when you say ceremonies have been performed for a long time, almost as sideshow acts, so I understand the upset. However, the prayer I read was posted in a book on Ojibwe mythology & religion. It's already openly accessible to the public, so I don't think there's an issue where they're concerned.
I agree, in general. Most of it, however, doesn't appear to necessarily be lies, but misunderstanding. I've had a great deal of success organizing it all by studying work done on multiple tribes & trying to figure out what fits where & how, but it is a very slow, & still ongoing, process. Working off of the Lakota, for instance, what I often see is, because both Lakota & English are such complex languages, but in completely different ways, "bad English" for them would often consist of endless rambling that seemed like it was constantly jumping from subject to subject at random or sentences that would simply never manage to get to the point. I hope an example isn't seen as rude, but "The Dog ate my homework." might turn into, "You ask me in which place my homework now lies, and I tell you, I have this dog and he is hungry and quite obnoxious today, therefore my homework cannot be here this day." Anyone can see how that might drain on people or get confusing after a while. After all, there were only three or four guys working on this stuff in the late 1800s & a lot of researchers really didn't work off of one another, or do so very well & by the time people started taking things seriously, almost all the real knowledge was gone. Unfortunately, that's the best we have & it is often disjointed, incomplete or just very poorly stated in general.
But, back to the point, the only things I think were off in what you said the first time were the beliefs that your people created native science & the idea of the "pow wow." I think I know what you were referring to-- the Chaco culture & the Ghost Dance Protest in the 1800s-- but I don't actually think the southwestern nations necessarily came up with the idea behind those, despite the fact that those are definitely achievements to be proud of as they are. Feasting & Dancing seems like it was a general part of all Native religions in one form or another & what I can already see is that there was a massive amount of crossover from culture to culture (for instance, even though there are about 20 different native ethnic groups in the Continental US alone, there's maybe only about 5 distinct religions among them.) But, I'm not sure that has that much to do with cultural origin, but moreso of cultures consistently melding together & working together over a long period of time. That crossover between cultures, however, does mean most of that disjointed information can actually be put back together.
Beyond that, though, I'm still unsure of whether you're talking about just native people in Mexico, or that entire culture region, which continues a fair way into the US. I realize, as you say, you are from Mexico. But, I could swear I've heard of similar forced labor scams occurring in the US as well, where natives were forced to create souvenir works for tourists. I do know that most of the accurate native iconography that exists in the market & is recognizable as native art by the average American does come from that region, but that doesn't necessarily mean that other native groups haven't kept a lot of their own culture or that those things don't exist anymore.

That is precisely one of the reasons I went Vegan! It's a shame, that living beings are treated in such a way now as if they are things and not a living, breathing, thinking beings that also have a will to live. I'm happy to find someone who holds the same beliefs. :) Peace and love to you.
cekinxxx actually if we’re talking about the Bible that’s not true. God had to kill an animal for Adam and eves sake AFTER they had disobeyed his command. They were given access to the fruit of all the trees except the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
According to the Bible man was meant to be vegetarian, but our disobedience brought the fall which has brought about the tragic sacrificing of the lives of others as a natural consequence of our sin. I don’t believe the Bible is true at all but according to the Bible man was not created to eat animals.
With all respect and from peace, you all couldn’t have 10% indigenous blood it would show up in your phenotypes. You look European, sound European your names are European. Let’s all be honest and look at this subjectively not from ear but from actual attempts of listening to history and nature.
in spanish america we call meztizos im one too , if you want to see real native they are in latin america.
Cross breds wich turned into Mexican and catholic yippie real native?
😂😂😂😂
THIS looks like 5 dollars Indians
elohim660 they are, and so are you
So damn judgemental seriously!
Stop refering them as Indians.
Ayan Maity the reason people is because they traveled from India all the way to Alaska, but come on they been in America for 50,000 years.
Awass it don't matter what they call us in their languange
Benawesome BW that is totally wrong
It’s funny how people who are not native or don’t belong to this indigenous nation( Mikmaq) have no problem telling people who they are, that is not your place or right to tell someone what there identity is, that practice in itself is racist, racial profiling is extremely wrong and no human has that right, the Canadian and US governments created the system to tell who is a indian and who isn’t by their standard which for some fucked up reason has the rest of the non indigenous world thinking they have a say in who looks indigenous, um bitches please, I’m a Mikmaq enrolled member of elsipogtog First Nation New Brunswick, I’m a light skinned native, and I will never let anyone belittle me for my skin colour, those the commenters who feel they have a right to racially profile people, no you don’t, you have zero right in that is your only human yourself, to all the non indigenous people of the world, remember your place on this earth and learn from the disgusting colonialism history of your ancestors,to make the world British, to make the world French, kill the Indian save the man
runningbear gardner ha lol thin blood boy
Yes exactly 100%
Evans Woolfe Media would support Native producers and storytellers to tell their own worldview instead of profiting off Euro interpretation, perpetuated half-truths and stereotypes like this. But it is the age-old practice of misinterpretation and only using bits and pieces of a whole they do not understand as a people. Very human zoo-ish, voyeur-like quality of this video. Plus so many mispronounciations by the narrator, completely unacceptable but again, typical.
I'm NA I Have no religious beliefs just Believing N..So that makes me what??? A real NA
i like the fact that the man is the only one talking. Whenever a man with a women, the woman would be the one who would say everything
Parents and children? come on now. stop using those nasty admirily law queen of englann crown corporation words. Mothers and Fathers have sons and daughters they are not Parents they are not Children.
