    I love these Native tiktoks because, not only it’s nice to see their culture, but it’s also educational. You learned more about Indigenous people on Tiktok than in your school does.

    All of my kids never stayed strapped down in their cradle board. Of course that's how they went to sleep every time. But when they woke up either an arm or a leg would be out working hard to get the rest of them loose

      That skinwalker one cracked me up I would have probably got it to insult it's self because their known to mimic people so if you say something about the skinwalker then it will repeat it. I would probably say something like "oh look at me I'm a skinwalker and I wear pink tutus." Then I would go back inside and sleep peacefully.

    • @SteamShinobi
      @SteamShinobi 3 года назад +2

      Kwai! I have been helping to revitalize our language, Abenaki, since I was a young kid. I'm not super familiar with specifics about ute communities, but if you, or anyone else planning on that route, see this comment, let me share some tips and ideas that I learned throughout the years, mostly the hard way, but also by being taught by wiser folk than me. Also, I am not an expert:
      It's going to be a longish read, I'm not sorry about that: It's a topic very near to me, and others, and I want to give everyone everything I've learned to help them. If you don't want to read much more: goodluck on revitalizing your language, I may never know you, but I care for you and love what you're doing, I'm proud of you, and I wish you success.
      [TW: swearing, colonialism, academia ]
      1) Do not quit. Even when it seems like the language is super difficult. There are questions you can't google, and you may have to figure a lot of things out yourself, but do not quit. Find it in your heart to do this for the current and future generations, I can't stress that being the most important first point - don't do it for only yourself.
      2) There are likely communities on Facebook or other social media platforms where people have been slowly collecting resources, who have linguistic and cultural backgrounds and who are willing to accept you. Some may not be welcoming, but I've seen most are that I've worked along side of. SIDENOTE FOR UTE: A quick google shows a lot of projects underway for Ute, and I'd be willing to bet they'd welcome learners.
      3) Reach out to local museums and academic institutions (tribal resources, colleges, univeristies, libraries, rare book stores, and hell even auctions) for any and all material you can get access to. This doesn't even have to be local, you'd be surprised how some places way around the world have come into language material. I've found some papers from the 1800s written by some random Italian guy on our language. There are sometimes audio recordings so you can start to nail down pronunciation/intonation, sometimes it's field notes, sometimes it's material that's untranslated, but identified with that language. Reach out, and ask. Worst you get it is no, or maybe "Ewwww" or something like that, but at least ya tried. Also, bring a pencil and paper, in theory you should ask first, but fuck it, it's your language, write that shit down, write all of it down. Even if you don't quite know what it is, you can ask someone later. Just be respectful of older books because you don't want to destroy, all linguistic information is useful information.
      4) Talk with revitalist from other communities to exchange notes on what is working/has worked. It's an ongoing fight, and a very new one. Some days might seem like the language will die and that all the work you has put in was for nothing, but we might even just be holding the torch to pass it on, maybe we start a wildfire, who knows. Keep strong, keep trying, you can start a whole generation of speakers single handedly if you're stubborn enough.
      5) Be open to outsiders. Sometimes you'll meet people you disagree with, or you're annoyed with. Treat them solely in regards to the language, and treat them kindly, but do not shun them. In the same breath, be open to criticism, questions, corrections, and all else from experienced and new, liked and disliked learners alike. Furthermore, be open to criticize, question, and correct new and older learners alike. A fresh set of eyes and a brain chalk-full of curiosity and ignorance can sometimes be the needed factor to see huge progress. Not knowing something is impossible can be hugely beneficial.
      6) Be willing to take some losses in time and money. The first thing I will say is I UNDERSTAND it is our language, and we shouldn't have to buy it back, but the world doesn't care. Sometimes you will be spending out of pocket because you may not get funding to help you. I've spent hundreds if not thousands already personally buying material (books, transcripts, fields notes, audio recordings, etc) just to give that back to the learners without ever seeing a dime back. I've spent thousands of hours translating material, going through those notes, listening to recordings to transcribe them; it is a labour of love that will bring it back. I'd be lying if some nights I wasn't aboslutely driven insane by trying to figuring out different grammar particals, different constructions, etc. It is what it is. But it takes time, and it takes money. Personally, it is worth it to hear the language spoken again, when I started, we were very few who could speak it, and now at least a handful are trying to learn it and it makes me happy every day to wake up and know there is effort.
      7) There will be people who say a lot of stupid shit (hi, that's probably me at this stage too), to quote the wise Dave Chappelle on the matter: "Fuck em". Do what you need to do to revitalize the language.
      Embarking on this journey is something I will have the utmost of respect for, and I know that as nobody that means nothing to whoever is reading this, but if you're doing it alone, if you're full of doubt, if you're surrounded by people who don't believe, know that I do and will. If I can help, let me know. If you just want to say that you are revitalizing your language to someone random, then do so; I want to be able to tell you how fucking proud I am of you, of anyone, who makes that choice.
      Goodluck.

      So I'm still learning my culture myself but I'm pretty sure when non-indigenous people talk about having a spirit animals it is offensive bc us natives are in clans, so when someone tells us they are a certain animal it sounds like they are trying to be native, idk. The dream catcher is originally made by natives and helps bad dreams it comes from our culture and is kind of offensive when someone non-natives use it, and since others that are non-native make Walmart versions of our culture it's annoying because everything we make either has a meaning or a story connected to it. When non-natives make them they usually just do it to be decorative. Like I said I'm also still learning I'm sorry if this was confusing, but I hope I kind of helped.

      Well spirit animals are something that is very sacred to our culture and was appropriated by colonizers. Dream catchers are also sacred and having them used without people knowing the origins or even knowing that that are an indigenous thing. As long as a native has given it to you or you bought from a native seller, you are fine. ❤

      If you use anything from Native culture, just make sure you understand it's true meaning & use it properly (don't hang a Dream Catcher from your rear view mirror). Don't buy those cheesy items from China. Visit a local Pow Wow & buy from Native vendors. Ask them questions and listen. Or buy from legitimate Native artists online. Research who you're considering buying from as there are a ton of companies that say they're Native or selling to support Native communities.

    Very cool. The only thing that surprised me was the comment about being bothered by other people using dream catchers and naming their spirit animals. I wonder if this is a general sentiment or something the creator of that portion finds offensive.

I can neither be recognized by my government, nor my tribe because of the stupid Dawes.

      You're not alone! The federated tribe was comprised of many people both belinging to and not belonging to the Aniyunwiya people. The trail of tears, though an atrocity, was still part of a publicity stunt to show they were going to "do something" about the "petticoat government" congress wanted nothing to do with. Many, many, many Cherokee today are non-indiginous people, while many indiginous people who did not cede their lands or were not part of the nation were moved north in a harsh winter - where they were expected to die because of the climate. Many people who did not cede were later marked black freemen on their documents.
      This has been a very big controversy for a while and many are displeased with the fact that the registration office and Dawes refuse DNA test results. Likewise, the fact that a lot of this messed up DNA databases, haha.

    I have used dreamcatcher since I was a child. I went to a fair at 5 or 6 and a group of Native women approached my mother and I to ask if i could come make crafts with them. It was an activity they were offering for a fee but they offered to teach me crafts and tell me stories for free. They helped me make my first dreamcatcher and explained it. I've loved them ever since. I still have one above each person's head above their beds in my home. I hope it isn't offensive bc they mean a lot to me. Also i practice an unconventional path of spirituality. I have my whole life....through that path I discovered a deep connection to a few animals that appeared to me in visions as being guiding spirits. As a matter of fact I was doing a meditation one night calling out to my ancestors and guiding spirits. I was going through a rough time and wasn't receiving as much communication or signs from my guiding spirits as usual and it confused and upset me. In the meditation I cried out to them asking why they had forsaken me and what I had done wrong. I told them I needed to understand. A vision came to me of a beautiful blue Jay and it made me aware that it was one of my guiding spirits. I told the blue Jay I didnt understand why I felt so disconnected from my spirit and why I wasn't receiving as much guidance. The blue Jay assured me that I was not disconnected from my spirit and told me to sleep and soon I would see a sign that would help me to understand. The next morning when I awoke and went out the back door there right in front of my door were 2 baby blue Jays. I made sure they were ok then went inside and watched out the window for their mother to return. Half the day passed and I didn't see her, which seemed odd as mother birds feed baby chicks that young all day long usually. So I got all stressed for them and built them an artificial nest in a tree and put them in it so animals couldn't get to them. Soon after I saw the mother return and start to feed the babies. I sat and watched as she flew back and forth feeding them. As I watched the chicks I saw how upset they got when they couldn't see their mother. But by this time I had realized she was always pretty close by and was watching over her chicks even when they couldn't see her. At that moment I heard the voice of my soul say "you are the baby chicks". I finally understood. Just as the blue Jays felt abandoned scared and forsaken when they couldn't see their mother, I too felt this way when I couldn't see or feel the signs and guidance of my soul...but just as the mother blue Jay was there the whole time working for the benefit and nourishment of her chicks, I realized I too was being nourished, protected and cared for even when I couldn't see it. There were two other animals presented to me as spirits guiding me also, but the blue Jay brought the most profound understanding to my limited mind. I have called them my spirit animals before, but I certainly never have an intention to offend any one. I also know most offensive people are too ignorant to know they are offensive and that doesn't make it any better. So I apologize if my behavior or feelings have disrespected anyone. Is it ok to call them my guiding animals and to continue to use the dreamcatchers? I did explain the origins and purpose to my daughter and husband before hanging them up for them. And dreamcatchers have become one of my daughter's favorite items bc she had really bad nightmares before I hung it up for her. She is a very psychic little girl full of light so the darkness likes to make it rough for her. I hope I can keep things in my life that hold a lot of value and significance without being that kind of lady. My intentions are pure and my love of their culture is genuine. Anyone that could help better educate me would be greatly appreciated. Blessings!

    One thing I took issue with was the mention of non-natives owning dream catchers.
    Now I am not Native, nor do I claim to be. However, I have many dream catchers, pieces of art, jewelry all made by native artists. I buy these things because not only do I love the work, but I love the tradition, culture and artistry behind every piece I come to own. If that's a problem for you, then that's your issue, not mine. I truly don't care if it makes someone uncomfortable to see it, along with the other pieces, in my home.
