Hello. I'm from Russia. I live in Kazan (it's a capital city of Tatarstan which is one of the provinces in Russia). Here we have our own traditions which are connected with the Muslim culture and we have the holidays as well (like Qurban and Ramadan). In my family, we usually speak not only the Russian language but the Tatar language as well.
I am from Sicily, Italy and in Italy every single region (there are 20 regions) has got its own local language, its own dances and songs. There is a lot of traditions, one of them is using a big kneading trough in chestnut wood to make pasta using as ingredients water and durum wheat flower. This is something that really few people do, the most people just use a modern machine.
Hi!, I'm from Venezuela. The indigenous culture in here is very mixed, Wayuus are the most popular ethnicity. Warao is a common indigenous language in our country, but Spanish is the primary language we speak.
I'm from Brazil. And here there are two famous different indigenous languages Tupi and Guarany. I know there are more I don't know the names though. I liked your video 'couse they spoke really nice English.
Hi. Thanks for your comment! Could you please send an email to easy.languages.english@gmail.com and tell us a bit more about your students. We hope to be able to respond to your request :).
@@rebeccaeasyenglish6385 The main similarity that I see is that here there is also a constant struggle for the preservation of languages, something that is kind of difficult. It is interesting that in Mexico the predominant culture in society is mestizo while in Canada they are a minority group.
Great video about indigenous cultures! I would've liked to hear some spoken indigenous languages but I know this is an English learning video so a little bit of a shame
Thanks for your comment! :) We did ask some of the interviewees to share a word or phrase in an indigenous language, but unfortunately many of them were not able or comfortable to do so. Some of them shared that they are in the process of (re)learning their mother tongue(s) in their communities or through language revitalization programs.
Crazy Greek Mathematician such things are not easy easy to come across. Much like asking for a single-ancestry European, it is not a simple task. Native nations, before and after contact with Europeans, would have marriages across nations, adoptions from one into another. It’s not a homogenous gene pool. The Athabaskan language group, for example, encompasses Diné or the Navajo language in the Southwest of what is today the United States of America, as well as the Athabaskans of the northernmost parts of North America, like in Canada or Alaska. Then, with the coming of Europeans, there was intermarriage, sexual violence, etc. An estimated 90% of the indigenous populations of the Americas were killed by disease, famine, and of course warfare over the course of just a few centuries. Because of these factors, it is not common to find a member of a tribe of, say, a southeastern tribe like the Choctaw, the Chickasaw, or the Cherokee that is “100%” or “full-blooded.” The Seminole nation is an example of a tribe which came into existence because of intermixing. Displaced tribes and escaped slaves from the southeast game together in the southeast and formed the Seminole Nation. Of course there are exceptions, but I’m sure you get the point. If one is looking for an indigenous person who can find no European or non-native ancestor, it is most often found in more isolated communities, such as the people living in the Amazon rainforest today like the Waorani/Huorani, or members of Inuit or northern tribes, where traditional sustenance and material cultures are less infringed upon due to the lack of colonization efforts in those specific regions. But all indigenous people who can claim identity are indigenous. Things like blood quantum do not matter to many. What matters is community ties/willingness to learn, especially for those who are what is called “reconnecting.” This means individuals who only later in life learn of their indigenous ancestry or are far removed from their communities. It’s very difficult for many reconnecting individuals, myself included, to reclaim that identity when the resources for learning indigenous languages are not always available, and one is far from the community. But I digress. As I see it, blood quantum does not matter in terms of indigenous identity or ancestry and being an indigenous person. Blood quantum is really only a factor in determining tribal citizenship in respective nations.
Please upload more videos. This is one of the best ways to learn English.Thank you so much.
jim igosso I couldn't agree more
Hi Jim. Thanks for your support! We plan to make and publish more videos soon :). Are there any specific topics you would like to see?

Hi Claudio. Thanks for telling us about this tradition :).
Chao! It's so exciting! I'd like to see your videos about every region and their customs. Do you mind to shoot videos??
I hope you are safe in Italy.
Thanks. I'm fine
Claudio Ristagno That’s good to hear.
They should try to do polynesian languages, Maori, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian etc.

Thanks for the subtitles!
Great video, thanks! I'd really appreciate more materials about Native American communities.

¡Hui! I'm nahua, it's interesting to hear natives from all over America.
Thanks for your comment :). Did you notice any similarities or differences between nahua culture and Canadian indigenous cultures?

Are you Canadian, Rebecca?

@@rebeccaeasyenglish6385 thanks for the reply! That's understandable
I wish there was an interview with SINGLE-ANCESTRY indigenous people...
