his name is Nathan but most people call him Rikishi, hes pretty well known and met and spoke to him a few time at a few Ontario Roundances, dude jokes alot and you got that right, all around a great guy.
Much love from your African sister ❤... I'm pregnant with twins and when I play pow wow music they go crazy, like they recognize it. My other 2 children love to dance around the living room to indigenous music, and I love exposing them to it. I live in America where the Native roots run as deep as the ocean. It can be felt 🙌🏿
@@Protect_123 if you line Russia and China up to California they match up. So your statement has no meaning. And it's historically founded that native americans came from east Asia during the last two ice bridges.
That’s so awesome! Beautiful that you share our indigenous culture with your little ones. Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ (All Are Related) A phrase in my Lakota language.
@@brianbushfamily1814 there is no historic evidence of any native tribe coming from eat Asia, go around the country and ask any tribe where they came from, the creator put us here, we were rooted here, my tribe has been through two ice ages, but does the history books tell you that? No. So don’t tell anyone where they are from when you don’t know any history your damn self, go and educate yourself before making a damn fool of yourself on the internet.
Singing like this touches the spirit. It’s so much better live, I go on the powwow trail a lot (singing and dancing) and I highly recommend if you get the chance!
Spirituality and being connected with yourself and with others is the most important thing about being human, I think when you watch indigenous people connecting with the creator and themselves it's impossible not to feel as though you are also connected with them as well
I come from the other side of the world , a different place a different culture This gave me goosebumps , stirred my adrenaline and blew me away I thank you for sharing this with us and I salute you with awesomeness for keeping such a amazing culture alive Much respect 👊🏼
Being native doesn't mean you have to look like one. My cousins are half black and native. Skin doesn't make us. I'm Spanish Comanche and Taos Pueblo. It's the blood that runs in your veins, and your connection with the people and the ancestors. Being one with what's around you and loving all things and respecting all things. 😉
I am Tejano from Texas, from the mouth of my dear passed Grandma I learned we have a bit of Apache. Not a lot but enough to respect the Native Cultures, so I say keep on passing down the traditions to the younger generations. May God bless you always brothers. 🙏
I haven't done grass dancing in Soo long but man it felt good to dance again, haven't been dancing for years but when I listened to this my feet couldn't help themselves, when ever I hear the grandfather drum my feet seem to have a mind of its own and I don't mind that.
most deep singing my ears ever heard wow the spirits got excited and moved every now and then a song comes along and says hey look at me I'm a big native it's like it's a ancient voice coming back to show how real the spirit of song is alive
I was born and raised in South Dakota, and moved to Germany many years ago......this brought back so many great memories of powwows and gave me tears&goosebumps 🖤 My neighborhood in Wiesbaden, Germany is waking up to some bEaUtiFuL&pOwErFuL music this morning. ☯️ MuCh LoVe ☯️
I am a Native America girl. I dance and go to pow wows when ever ther is a pow wow. My dad has a drum. Chaske hotain. So yeh i love lessening to pow wow songs. Hearing everyones voice make me happy
When covid is over you should check out some pow wows in your area. I know the oka crisis happened out there but don't know too much else otherwise about the people out that way, but I'm sure you could find some local pow wows to check out sometime.
Idk if I heard this song before at a powwow a few years back, but I find myself singing the lead and most of the song. Anyway this song makes me wanna jam out again!
Я Всю Жизнь Любила и Уважала Индейцев т к Они Трудолюбивы и Очень Любят Свои Семьи " Племя" Защищают Мужественно 👍💯👍💯♥️♥️♥️♥️😍♥️♥️🌞 И Кино Смотрю с Детства ♥️♥️♥️🌞♥️🥰😍 А Сейчас Смотрю на Этих Ребят ПОДЧЕРКНУ ИМЕННО (КОТОРЫЕ ПОЛНЫЕ 🤔) И НЕ складывается Впечатление О тех Прошлых и Настоящих Индейцах т к Привыкла Видеть Их Всегда в ФОРМЕ 🤷🏻♀️🤔 А в ЦЕЛОМ МУЗЫКА Их Прекрасна и Классная ♥️♥️♥️🥰 Всегда с Вами Мои Любимые Индейцы♥️🥰♥️🥰🌞👍💯
It's one of my dreams to attend something like this or a pow wow. If these videos can make me emotional watching from a screen, imagine how much more it'd make me feel in real life 😍
These songs definitely bring the a energy of our ancestors to the drum as they where the ones to pass on these songs. They're not written or recorded but passed on. That is amazing. Obviously songs get recorded and written these days... but for them to survive through our people not being able to practice our traditions is awesome 👏
So friggin' beautiful. I've always wanted to see it live and I've been invited by a good friend and his uncle to attend locally but i always feel weird. Like I'm encroaching on something really spiritual that isn't a spectacle. I'm like "does that make me one of THOSE people?" Lol My ancestors were Scots (celts) and Vikings as far as genealogy says and they're dead cultures. It makes me sad but at the same time it makes me incredibly sad about my ancestors' history with that of these peoples'. Anyways, not gonna get all weird. But this is amazing and puts a lump in my throat. Honored to get to see it even on a small screen
As someone who follows the powwow trail every summer who sings and dances at every single one of them, I encourage you to go! It’s always very nice seeing people who are interested in what we do! It’s stuff like this that makes us together as one. We may walk different parts of the earth, but we all live under the same sky
It's really not necessary to feel like that, especially you are being invited, and from what I understand everyone at pow wows is so friendly and happy that you are there, just be respectful and enjoy yourself, you won't be treated as though you don't belong, because we're all family and we don't treat family members like outsiders
There is nothing wrong with learning culture of any sort. The problem stems from people that are not willing to learn and are just there to observe like we are zoo animals.
Evil and negative energy's can only keep u down for awhile...if u have the drum in u culture on your side protecting u ... loyalty to the drum and my cree people..hiy hiy
Thank you so much for all you guys just being you! May we always hold on to our heritage and our language or culture may we never lose it for when we do we lose ourselves love you guys
Mis respetos.. No se queda cosa siento o que cosa cantan pero se siente una emoción tan grande y una paz espiritual.. Es una bendición tener su cultura y saber que la aprecian mucho.
Like the guy below said I tear up hearing this the drums the voices makes me feel emotional an ppl it's really important you never let ur history good an bad ur dances ur traditions die it's so important you keep all of it alive ⚘❤
that guy in the green shirt is one of my new favorite singers. i cant believe how he put it down! i rewatch his solo all the time. ive never seen soul like that on a drum. hes so cool.
I haven't been to a powwow in years! Seeing this on video can only give you a small idea of what it feels like to be next to these drummers. You will feel it I'm your bones ans the energy can be felt as soon as you enter the circle!
Not being an Native American my spirit guided me here. So much joy and pain, the drum beat of history. The drum tells the story of trust, betrayal, the willingness to share when the intent of the government was to destroy. I am glad these drums can still tell this story of a great people who still survive after the greatest genocide to occur in the history of humanity.
loved green shirts start love the hole group tho drumming is something i've been doing for a couple years now and i love listening to other drummers started when i was 11 or 12 im 18 now
I have been in Canada and i never feel what Canadian is about, till i hear the true land owners, the natives of this land do the pow ow , then i truly feel that i am in Kanata.
Im Polyneasian but love watching Native American cultural performances, its so mesmerizing 💪🇼🇸❤💙

Sorry to say but he just passed a few days ago.. Pretty sad to hear of his passing within the powwow and round dance circles..

a pow wow is like a festival or a party you are fine to go, especially if invited, just be respectful.
and buy an indian taco theyre good af lol
This is the only music I found that I consider a treatment for mental health issues. Truly healing in a way I don't get from other forms of music.

Wish these guys were still like this...😔😓😢
I love how my skinny dude squeezed in to thoroughly get it
This would be crazy to experience something like this in RL the energy would be unreal, gives me goose bumps just watching. Love from Australia
