- In this program, Wyoming Chronicle will convene a panel of Indian youth to discuss how life on the reservation is reported and perceived. We will also see how a tribal-centered curriculum featuring traditional arts is helping anchor young lives on the Reservation with meaning, sense of purpose, and community.
Mikala is so pretty!
Yes, the talk is quite interesting, but indeed during the video I kept thinking that she looks adorable. But so does the young journalist. My kingdom for seeing these smiles on those people's faces again and again.
I love watching real Indians talk and share their thoughts and feelings.
Your culture and connection to nature is like a major magnet to me!!
The longevity and proof of sustainability is soo "zen" and addresses all the destruction that colonists are responsible for
Hi from East Timor an island country in the northwest of Australia. I wanna say that you guys are amazing, I am also a native to my island of Timor. Living in tribes culture and tradition is everything and mostly is an identity to tell people where we come from. I am glad that you are sharing your stories for many of us out there to be aware. I am sure both of you are becoming the role model for your future generation and the ambassador for your tribes in America and in the world.
Great thoughts! Thank you for sharing with the Wide World! Blessings!
"We're still here ". That says it all. A brilliant PBS interview.
We have a filthy drug and crime infested states like Seattle Wa. Dont bad mouth the native reservations. They didnt put their self in poverty out crap government did and have been doing for years
@@dannyhillhouse454 United States of America had broken every agreement with Indians. ALL OF THEM!
"We "Native Americans are Survivors" First Americans"
Would be great to have more “ native” journalists in this country!!
Love it.... it's been seeded since late 1800's..by our elders that had inherited genocide..... with cruel POLICY'S & REGULATIONS...they said in time ALL WALKS OF LIFE WILL SPEAK & COMMUNICATE ON SAME LANGUAGE...as in LATE HISTORY I believe we're there.... keep praying singing chanting drumming........ silent prayer
Im from the WRR and its super beautiful and the culture is very comforting to me. I been off the rez for a long time and ive had so many good opportunities to become independent because of the native community in the city. I will always remember who I and be proud of who I am. I learned so much about my history as a native, by non native people. Had i stayed theres no doubt i would of been dead and accomplished nothing, Most of my family has died from alcohol drugs and violence. I wouldnt bash where im from theres no other place and no other people, its so much fun On the other hand it does have an alarming rate of crime. I always pray my people have more resources to be uplifted and to stay focused on the culture because its very rich and one of a kind. We need to never forget those that are struggling on the reservation because of the boarding schools. We are still being affected today. Theres so much more to all tribes than what people see.
So glad I found this. I learned alot. Thank you!🙋🏼♀️
Both you young'ns did really well in this interview. I thought that the interviewer really ought to have included a couple sets of parents just to secure a balanced answer to his question. It's obvious he was making a play to find loopholes in your answers, which is unfair, considering you both are still very young & expected to answer such a deep, historical & biased question. Even the slight differences in the age group between the guy & girl shows a vast difference in experience just by the way they answer the questions posed.
It's absolutely beautiful how similar our two cultures are. We as Maori are the natives of Aotearoa aka New Zealand. The same history of being invaded, having christianity thrown down our throats, being punished for speaking our tongue. If you can't beat 'em then join 'em was the european motto. Interbreed with the 'Noble Savages' They did try their damnedest to annihilate my people, when that didn't work, the next best thing was to assimilate us. Our history is also full of pain but like yourselves, we too have gone through a renaissance to instill into our children that we have a history that has many conflicts, hurts etc, then we have all the beautiful aspects that set us apart from all those others that call themselves New Zealanders.
We have our native tongue that is finally recognized as the second official language of our own country, lmao! This is secondary to english. We have events similar to your pow wow which I know brings much joy to our youth who radiate when they perform. Our war dances 'Haka' is a great way for our young men to offload their anger. Then there is'Whakairo' which is wood carving. It is fabulous to see what our young men are thinking when they transfer their thoughts into wood they are carving. When one finds his calling as a carver, to see the progress made from their first piece of art is amazing. Whatever the activity, it is always encapsulated with culture. Prayer to our God/s primarily, our ancestors that are waiting for us on the other side, acknowledging the blessings in our lives & the lives of our loved ones. You know how the story goes. I feel so proud that you guys made it too. It really warms my soul to know that we brown skinned, gorgeous looking, strong hearted, clever, thoughtful people never gave up. Most importantly, we held tight to our spirit for life, for love and for each other.
They are adults, stop talking about them as if they were children.
@@creativefreedom9143 She is a senior, which makes her about 18 years of age which is NOT a child, but a young adult. She doesn't have the life experience to answer some of the questions he asked her so it a way I agree that it wasn't a fair to ask her such LOADED questions. They are wonderful young adults and I respect them greatly, but there is a lot they do not understand, that only someone in their 30-40's and older understand. It's called life experience, and you can't get that from books, you get it from living and struggling and hopefully surviving and thriving.
The Shoshone cradle board in the background is beautiful. I understand the Elders animosity and I think some of that animosity stems from the loss of their ways of life and all of the horrid things that were perpetrated on the people and all of Native America.
Thank you for offering some reel reporting, and giving an honest look at Natives so rare in the USofA !
👏 bravo to you young people’ truly truly enjoyed what you were saying
Both of these beautiful young people are so smart, stable, grounded, and wise beyond their years. I wish them much success and happiness in wherever their lives lead them.
You are people, you are human, you live your lives like all of us you are the same yet you are different just like anyone else, you are here. I see you, striving and going, I see the beauty of your culture and traditions. I am very glad that you are here sharing this space and time with me in this world. I am very glad that you are alive as a people and as individuals beings.
Very beautiful & meaningful...well balanced showing important aspects.
Most enjoyable presentation!
What beautiful young people, blessing to you !
When is your next video? :D Keep it up!
Thank you! Inspired by your shared experiences and stories
Mikala has a beautiful loving spirit.
Haha she's my auntie
@@sunrhodes8903 ...May you and all your family and Nation..Be Blessed always by the grace of...The Great Spirit.Mitakuye Oyasin.Bright Moments from Australia 🐝🌈
These two are wonderful ambassadors for their people, my heart aches for them and the way they are treated by the authorities in the 21st century, where is the civilised thoughts towards them I ask myself. On a final note I must say that Mikala is very beautiful lady and good luck to the them for the future.
The Englishman I remember reading an article from the Los Angeles Times when I was about 14. It was syndicated in the local newspaper. The issue was the coal mining company tapping into more water resources underground.
Los Angeles paper prefaced the article by pointing out that the Navajo reservation had about 50 percent unemployment and the drunks in the border towns. Then delved into the issue. About 2 years ago it touched on another issue. Again it started with the high unemployment. Haha.
It's funny because we had so much food to eat at home from the ranching and farming we do. And farmers and ranchers on the reservation actually depress the unemployment numbers even when life is good. But we go to school and we are taught that our incomes are way below the national average. It puts pressure on the youth implying that their families are in poverty. It further complicates as how natives are viewed in American society even when the impression is false.
Unfortunately, the national media does that from afar with second or third hand facts. Even information that is outdated but they still run with it. As Native Americans, we just have to ignore those perceptions and continue to progress.
The young man mentioned that you go to any reservation and you’ll find those problems. Heck, go to any town in America and you’ll find those problems.
yeah but when your native in a town country area its just not the same. I dont know if you are aware of the suicide rate especially on the wind river reservation but its really scary. I know i been off the rez for a long time and i wish my people had more opportunity to have jobs and transportation. Not only that but to have more native activities going on. I honestly believe that our success will be achieved once we really embrace who we are and never forget what our ancestors went through in those boarding schools. We are a people who have been stripped of everything we are our whole identity taken away.
@@QuitinaOnawa But a lot of those issues are common to all of rural America, like the meth epidemic. As for suicide a large amount of Native Americans serve in the military and military veterans sadly have a sky high suicide rate. I agree with you there are issues but the NYT grossly exaggerated to push a narrative
Thank you and may The Force be with you all-love and respect from me
Who the great spirit bless you all.im brazilian n im so proud of my native brazilian decendence.i just envy the fact of how the indian reservations from usa are independent states,i just wanna this for my city volta redonda,the bastards from rio de janeiro state goverment simplely dont care about us,they just never did nothing for us.we from latinamerica also lives a horrible reality of poverty,alcoholism n adicting,just as the usa native americans,im suportive to the native americans reality.
BR, TMJ.
Great interview.
You young adults are the future of your past, never lose your values or traditions. Who knows, maybe one day the Natives will be plenty again and all without handouts. Stay strong.

I'm starting to really learn about what happened to and still happening to Native Americans. All the broken treaties, and living on reservations.
Agree 100%
Bad things happen in everyone's life, wherever people are. There are terrible things that some folks do because they are looking for things they aren't willing to work for, things they think they can get by just taking, and it often leads to terrible outcomes. Some things people can control, others are the results of other people's actions. It's that way in all cultures, but I recognize that Native Americans have these things closer at hand. Young people who are taking control of their lives are making a positive difference among their people. People who are passive in their lives and willing to have life just happen around them, are the ones who have the worst outcomes. Proud of those who are willing to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.
When is the summer POW WOW
I can imagine it is quite ironious, that the NEW YORK Times publishes an article about high crime rates, substance abuse and poverty in ANOTHER community, fingerpointing, while being in the same situation....
I fell in love with Mikala after five minutes...
All young people need. To be able to help.each other in school and help.in there town to help each other in peace and love with each on the reservation to . It hard on the reservation to live on what young women to do show love to each other help. And show love to other people to that is the key is love each and help each out with the. Promble from jesse aragon.flaming eagle
I'm watching this
In the old Way of Life, Tribe means Family. We are not a Community who have committees. And even now, when we do have Community. Family values means more as we Tribal People have been here living this way for thousands of years...not hundreds of years like many of the migrants from other Continents. We were living in Peace and Harmony when the Settlers first made contact with our Tribes during that time. American History does not explain that period very well... about how we truly lived in a "Ceremonial Way of Life" on most of this Continent.
The earth only makes one kind of human. One with red blood. We are brothers and sisters. Evil is from the air, not from earth. Be earth.
Yes, there is drug, alcohol and crime in Urban America also. It isn't just a Reservation issue. Then again NYC and many other places, is SO FAR removed from the rest of America they find a story in these issues. Most of us "walk in two worlds". Your family history can be German, Irish, African or any other nationality that you keep alive also.
where are these treaties? show them to me now 2-24-18.
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏❤
Hello pepper.My dream walker.
The most under utilized asset on a reservation is the LAND. Why not have bison, vegetable cultivation./farming, Horses etc.
Are problem when outsiders talk what they think is best for us people just because they say we are natives we are all humans what God made to please our heavenly Father in all God's ways all people in this world 🌎 why I say this teachers from are school they hate Apaches God taught me to read and I am very thankful amen from the two native sisters with God's love ❤ 💘 amen
Save your Culture!
It's not easy, they closed all the mines in Yorkshire, now I live in Devon, and haven't found a mine here yet either. Apparently, I have been displaced.
I don’t understand as an Aussie, why the real people of this country don’t stand up!!!!!
I think everyone that is native American and ones that are not full blood needs to stand up make the government listen I wish I had grew up on the reservation
@@hermancobb7825 no u dont! People who live on reservations are diet poor.
I think the Battle of Wounded Knee answers that one for you!
For the same reason that Aborigines - the real people of Australia, don't!
The public to get together and request more government funds to educate young kids and teenagers for more organize education government jobs
There are so many great government jobs that Native Americans Indians should seek.
Things need to change I noticed some native Indians try to keep the room always but nowadays it’s time to get together in large numbers and make a request to the government for better schools and much more.
Handouts and more 'gov't jobs'... are not an answer.
I did not know there were jobs on the reservation.
education? i payed my way through college. the student loans, (thanks) i have paid them off. it was hard, but i have fulfilled this contract. a BS from an accredited university.
I know you’re still broke AF
This kind of problems are everywhere
The assimilation is so disturbing to me. The english language and clothing is incredibly restrictive and insulting just like cutting the hair of warriors was. 1800 was very very recent and I chose to support violent protest and more treaty ENFORCEMENT!!!
Huh??
Well spoken young people.
It's so nice, that my ancestors have had no connection to that terrible Native people genocide. And I don't understand why today very few people talking about it, it looks like most people just don't care about it.
I honestly don’t know what we would be able to do about it. 🤷♂️
@@creativefreedom9143 Prayers are always answered, if people are sincere.
Ohhh good grief.... more, vastly more, Indians died at the hands of other Indians...
What theyve done to native americans in the past is criminal and what theyve literally stolen from them is even worse im so glad that theyve had the tenacity to keep their culture alive and well with these united pow wow's!!!

I love her
I would love to come to America and pay homage to your rightful lands as an englishman. all you native Americans should be the rightful owners of those lands.
Would you like for me (Anglo-American) to come back and live with y’all in England?
@@creativefreedom9143 There ain't room, that's why we have small houses, small cars, small err. I'll leave it there!
I agree, First "Native" Americans!!
@@paulalee2363 There is no "first' native American. Anyone born in NA is Native American.
God is the boss and God is my everything. I love God more than anything on this earth.
Amen God bless all people ❤️
I don’t understand why these native people of their own country have to live on reservations and go to schools on reservations, our Aboriginals are of this country and go to the same schools as the rest of us, I was told via instagram that the natives don’t want to leave their reservations, but I fail to believe that, take down the fences open your arms and embrace these beautiful people who are calling to be recognised and loved. Peter from Australia
I'm white, so I can't pretend to speak for Native Americans, but I'm also an American studying in Australia, knowing both the history of Aboriginal Australians and Native Americans, I can tell you that it's not so simple as that, taking away the reservation, taking away the last of their land is the last thing any Native American wants, it would destroy their communities. Aboriginal Australians never got reservations, which is something my Aboriginal friends and teachers have often discussed with me, it's a major problem because there's still this idea in Australia that "Aboriginal Australians didn't have a concept of property, therefore we can do whatever we want to their sacred lands and waters. They don't belong anywhere." (To those who don't know, Aboriginal Australians did have a concept of property, this is just an excuse the British came up with in order to claim the entirety of Australia for Britain.)
Peter Sguazzato they were forced to live there, not anymore. Public schools allow them to go to school where they want. They can move anywhere they want too in the state I live in atleast. Some rezs offer cheaper housing and benefits I do believe.
So many ignorant people read the history and you would know
Majestic Potatoykn
@@oliverwitte996 IT'S NOT SO MUCH A CONCEPT OF PROPERTY REALLY, BUT ONE OF WHAT IS MINE IS MINE, AND WHAT IS YOURS IS MINE TOO. THIS IS WHITE JUSTICE, AND ALSO THE JUSTICE OF PSYCHPATHIC GLUTTONS, WHO LUST FOR POWER, RICHES, LAND, WHATEVER YOU HAVE THAT IS WORTH TAKING REALLY!
Can't believe they are still labeled as American Indian. 🙄
We are all native somewhat
I'm smart in all kinds of different businesses in the USA but takes alot of money to open and to run all kinds of different businesses that i'm smart in in the USA. I believe White people and indians can help each other and to love each other in Jesus Christ.
dammm I a barbarion native viking got raised by these natives it nice to see other sisters and brothers instead more barbarions natives
Forced!!!!!
It’s the stigma they live with..
I am white, of the civilized; I strive to be a 'learned' white. Indigenous people know how to live in the Environments of our planet, we civilized do not. Indigenous people strive to live `In Harmony' with the Environments, while the civilized think that everything was 'created' just for them to do with as they please. There is a civilized tendency to 'modify' the Environment to meet some short-term need, without considering the Environment or the long-term effect. We see all around us the `civilized way' does not work, and that it has devastated many of the Environments of our planet. It is my belief the civilized have much to learn from indigenous people -- important things like how to live on this planet. These are things the civilized must learn soon, because otherwise the civilized 'edifice' will soon come crashing down, quite possible resulting in a planet with few or no 'higher' life-forms. If the civilized continue on their present course, they will bequeath the surface of our planet to the distant descendant of the slow-living single-celled organisms that live a mile or more below the abyssal plain.
Robert Spies that’s why I enjoy my faith. Being Wiccan I can live in harmony with the environment and nature. I’m similar to natives. I respect nature and love this plante. Im also in touch and in tune with my pagan ancestors and follow my tradition. I also do have some native in me too. As far as what I don’t know and neither do my grandparents. They’ve lost touch with that side and anyone who can tell us us deceased.
I find these comments to be very strange at best, and at worst, feeding into benevolent racism.
Shame USA.Govt. should invest in these areas,the reservations.That would give an equal opportunity to natives to use their lives in a better and useful way.At the same time help them in making their lives,while preserving their culture and traditions.But it seems,govt. wants to finish them off slowly,by denying them the job opportunities and other basic needs...In such a scenario,natives need to stick to their roots and traditions and help each other in building a better future,through modern ways...Learn the modern ways,but stick to your roots......Hassan,Kashmir.
The US Government does make investment in these areas and people. I know and work with members of various tribes who leave the reservation for college and trade schools since the opportunities on the reservations are few and far between. These people are awarded special aid from the US Government and third party sources based on tribal status. What's more is there are various grants that are awarded to tribes that cover various needs on the reservations. Your analysis is superficial at best.
@@nmelkhunter1 So I wonder what their chances are compared to other Americans, and how many on a res are given help, in proportion to white Americans. And should help be really steering people away from their home and people. Is that a success, or just perhaps a creaming off by a sick society. I know some go back on the res after study and work, and good on them, but I have read a lot of material down the years from campaigners, and there's a lot of deviance in this system at all levels, and many needy people miss out, but then it's not unlike systems I have worked in within the UK, a place full of crooks, white crooks. I make that as a sweeping statement as I resent the coming of the white man to Turtle Island very, very, very deeply. I lived there in 3 former lives, and fought to remove the white settlers, and invaders, and I would do the same again at the behest of the Great Spirit, Whom I attuned to love and serve, for He too too is a servant of the Great Mystery, and Creator of all the worlds. Some call Him God, but He is most certainly not the One represented in the white man's bibles. The salvation and restitution of the Bird Tribes will come, but through the intervention of the Great Spirit, Who has decreed long go to return the land to the natives. The white men will be no more on Turtle Island, he must return home, for the US was never his land, simple. The Romans eventually left their conquered lands to their indigenous peoples, now the white Europeans have to be forcibly removed by the Great Spirit, and |His many workers. It commences in 2028 Sept ish big time, big nuclear holocaust, N Korea planned for long time, but many red men know of this time, and prepare to receive their lands back. Then no more need for grants systems, and other means of control by white invaders.
America has A History of down playing!!!! Who they hurt!!!!!
Vanessa Cox thats what theyve always done!!!
nothing like a ordinary bland white man; interviewing the most beautiful sacred peoples in this world, not country, WORLD.
They’re not “sacred.”
@@creativefreedom9143 There have been sacred tribes and lands amongst the whites, and all around the world, which is why the native people of Turtle Island came to know of the Great Spirit. A descendant of King Erik and some Vikings who crossed the Atlantic to Newfoundland, made his way onto the prairies, and became a servant of the highest, passing on spiritual tidings to the natives, who then passed on these tidings to other tribes, so that eventually many of them had seers, herbalists, healers, and spiritual leaders. They were warned of the coming of the white man long before he came, and were clearly told not to fraternise, nor interbreed with him. Sadly, the tribes were not all spiritual, nor unified, and so after many years, these divisions and weaknesses led to the capitulation of the tribes, until only fragments remained of the former glorious cultures. Soon, the Bird Tribes will be revived though, and their lands returned, although I sense they may receive other peoples from Asia, as prophecies indicate this. Let's see. First, the Apocalypse in 2028, WW3 in 2033, and great New Star in 2038, the end of many lands and men, then a New Kingdom of God by about 2056.
Yah... nice pious tone there...
🦊..ask them if they celebrate,...Easter , Christmas , and or thanksgiving ,...lol’,.....they sound like catholic kids who are thinkers with thoughts of others values ,...if one would like the truth,...find the ones who live with purity ( oh’ mean art ) to live with purity is to exist in spiritualness ,..one of the older spiritual leaders told us kids not to let any ,..one’ ,...control your thoughts ,..your feelings ,..or how you live ,...to much outside influences with the four horsemen , sports , religions , politics , and law ,....give our kids attitudes ,...developing with the four horsemen interferes with native heart ,...the heart can not breath with the four horsemen running through it at the same time ,...the heart needs to develop first ,...the school curriculum is backwards to developing native heart ,... ( that’s why your kids are ,..funny ) every one of our kids who committed suicide held attitude towards self ,....even with our own ,..be careful who tells you what kids ,....POW wow are not real it was the intent to make money through our own purity ( art ) (sell to our own people’s ) so they would always be surrounded by spiritualness and loved ,...
I was rise in USA born here as a fred
They are not *not Indians” trey are natives
First "Native Americans"
every person is an oppressed people at some point their ancestors were conqured by another man depending how you deal with is the outcome
do you live on a reservation
Bullshit!!!! Whiteman are not oppressed like the blacks Indians and Latinos. The whites are the oppressors.
@@janicerigsbee4129 And there comes the racist.... If you believe that you have no clue about history whatsoever. What's with the native tribes of my homeland?? "My" tribes got slaughtered by the roman empire and later almost completely erased by christianity by the sword or conversion. There is almost nothing left of my ancestors legacy. But that doesn't count I guess because we where white.... But unlike you, I don't therefor call the Italians oppresors for some shit their ancestors did a 1000 years ago.
People need to learn to move tha fuck on TOGETHER instead of endlessly blaming eachother for everything. Unless you want history to repeat itself, AGAIN.
I don't understand these people. Why they don't fight for themselves? Why they let to be a toy or an oriental cat in a cage. They keep them in reservates but this is their country. Why US made so many stans for people that don't have any cultural differences but didn't create any for them. Why in free, 21 century's USA they celebrate The Thanksgiving that is still their national celebration as a memory for sloting the Indians? I don't say that they should rebel or make war but fight for their rights and future. So they could say with pride that they feel to be Indian not American and not be afraid of feedback. They should not let history to repeat it selves. They want to be kind and open hearted for americans again but don't know that they can disapeare through that. I know something about that because I am Kashubian and if we wouldn't care about our identity but identify with occupant I guess that we and our tradition, language wouldn't live today. They can be them selves just ones a year or on a competition with a number on they feet just to conntinue their tradition then. I'm glad that they still know they language etc. I can't image a world without any nation or culture that appear on it. I thing that every single one is same important.
They have and still do fight, I don't know much about Kashubia, but I highly doubt you've suffered as much as the Native Americans have, they're much more resilient than you think.
I made some signals outside my teepee while drinking a beer and singing naive american songs with my peace pipe blazing as my horse dances.
these kids are either in denial or they dont know hkw bad their situation is
Dancing everyday is important dance for THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND HIS WIFE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD OF THE LIVING DEAD AND HIS WIFE IS A VERY LONG TIME AGO I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH YOU GUYS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AS WELL AS A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT ON THE OTHER HAND IS THAT I SAW A PICTURE OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE IT AS THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS WORLD AND HIS FAMILY ARE IN MY LIFE IS SO SHORT THAT YOU ARE A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A VERY GOOD IDEA TO THE BEST OF THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. THANK YOU BABE MAY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA SHOW YOU SOMETHING ABOUT ME THAT HEALS YOU AND OUR CHILDREN IN The true blood of Jesus Christ omen
Life on the reservation: Crime, poverty, and alcoholism.
Self-inflicted 'victimhood' and so many 'outside' perpetuate it.
