[@freazeezy]

why are foxes always portrayed as jerks?

[@dominique.gonzalez622]

Because they're are sly and slick

[@stephenjemyers]

I find the same thing with gingers

[@Dougarrowhead]

Not interesting at all.

[@TheVirtualLegacy]

Cherokee were part of the Iroquois originally and we branched off.

[@pazzodi3]

Does the Cherokee language match that of the iroquois? I'm not to familiar with their languages but from what I know they don't.. so I think you might be mistaken on that history.

👋 hi

[@backwordsMedicine]

"iraakwok" is not an algonquin word at all (anishinaabemowin language) and the people of the longhouse's language is anishinaabemowin...."algonquin" based....it's roots. miigwech.

[@krisaten3849]

My family comes from new york. On my fathers side I am Seneca and on my mothers side which is from west virginia I am cherokee and black foot. that mixes well with the irish and german lol

[@beverlyjacobs2963]

New York is where the Mohawks lived around

They are natives

[@oscarestrada7238]

good play and story

[@TheTim2uall]

what the hell does cannibalism have to do with this video?? secondly...the Ganienkaha..the People of the Flint,or Mohawk are the easternmost Haudenosaunee nation.... They are known as the Keepers of the Eastern Door,and their traditional territory was adjacent to the Abnaki, who lived in Vermont and New Hampshire..therefore they couldnt have been solely responsible the Nuetrals.... so obviously someone doesnt know their facts...i know mine cuz cuz I AM HAUDENOSAUNEE!...Seneca to be exact

[@beverlyjacobs2963]

Lol

Hi

Great stories. Teachings is better, then Christianity. No, I am not to any religions. I take from different idea beliefs to connect with the spirits.

I WANT TO HEAR BEAR STORIES

[@SWEETWATER3338]

🤦🏽‍♀️ unimpressed MOHAWK.

[@dominique.gonzalez622]

This is terrible

[@staceymccauley5597]

Then don’t watch it, i mean what is terrible about it? Or are you just judging him.

[@dominique.gonzalez622]

@@staceymccauley5597 I did stop watching it around the 5th minute mark I don't know what your problem is

[@pazzodi3]

@@staceymccauley5597 yeah the speaker doesn't know what he's even talking about.. he doesn't even explain what the iroquois did to surrounding tribes to keep the Dutch happy.. there's a lot he's skipping over to not give clarity.

[@siobhanmacdermott]

He's performing for children. Exactly how much blood and guts do you think would please you with the children listening? Be precise.
