As an ally, I will say that the Indigenous culture and history caused me to look into my own family history and what did I find? I found that my history/culture and the history/culture of others has the same or similar source of joys and sorrows. This automatically in my heart, made everyone around me - near or far, my brother and sister! I pray for this revolution to come and the sooner, the better...Miigwetch!
Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. It's beautiful to see how exploring Indigenous culture and history has led to a deeper understanding and connection with others. Your empathy and solidarity are important in fostering unity and positive change. Let us continue to work together towards a more inclusive and compassionate world. Miigwetch for your heartfelt words, Meggie! 🧡🙏🏽
Thank you Mallory. My mothers family side is from Ontario area and are Ojibwe and came to the States. I am trying to learn as much as I can about my past and the Ojibwe History and Culture. Thanks for helping me on my journey. Have learned much from you. Take care and Blessings.
You're welcome, Carson! I'm glad to hear that I've been able to help you on your journey of learning about your Ojibwe history and culture. Blessings to you as well! 🧡😊
Thank you Mallory for this! I am from New York USA. I've known since I was a child that my grandmother was from the Seneca Nation. She passed when I was 10. I love that I have indigenous history but not very knowledgeable about our past. Actually have been criticized for saying that I am part native. I've been afraid to try learning again. I love your energy, and that you acknowledged the gate keeping. Thank you for your openness! I appreciate you! Amy
You nailed it with these 5. We have come a long ways since the days of my great grandfather when he literally was not a citizen of the US back in the early 1900s - he was born in Indian Territory (now the US state of Oklahoma) and later became a citizen. If wasn’t until 1978 that the US passed the Indian Religious Freedom Act which finally granted religious freedom in the US. I think that right now we are the strongest that we have been since the 1800s and are only getting stronger. I agree with you that awareness and knowledge has really taken off in the past several years!
You're absolutely right. The journey of recognition and progress for Indigenous peoples has been marked by challenges and resilience. Growing awareness and knowledge are making a real difference. Let's keep pushing for justice and understanding. 🧡
You're welcome, Deborah! I'm glad to hear that my videos are helping you feel closer to your Native side. It can be challenging to stay connected to our culture when we're far from our tribal communities, so I'm happy to provide a video that can help. 🧡🙏🏽
Do you think one of your neighbors on the southern border could get his hands on the Truth and Reconciliation Handbook? It may take another 20 years for it to happen here (maybe longer depending). I am curious of Canada's struggles around it. I'm glad to see it happening.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, David. It's important to acknowledge that there are varying perspectives within the Indigenous community. While some may prioritize gatekeeping and addressing the impacts of historical trauma and ongoing systemic oppression, others may approach things differently. 😊🧡
@@MalloryRoseCo I realize that every time I comment it is the same rant, if it makes you feel better I actually unsubscribed and hit do not recommend when you show up because I do not want to do that but you still keep coming up so I take this as a sign and so here I go. I think it is disingenuous to even imply that the Native community is any form of a community united in anything much less this multi national community united in beliefs of tolerance and acceptance. Most bands are bogged down with petty inter clan rivalries or have been infiltrated by other agendas whether personal, corporate, political, or socio/political it ultimately does not matter as all are internally corrosive and divisive. While all this is going on there are still far too many reservations with inadequate drinking water. This leads to the astronomically high suicide rates not to mention the terrifyingly high incidents of missing and murdered Native women. This is why I see all this "revolution" to be pointless at this point. Whatever talent, knowledge, and resources we (and I cannot believe that I am including myself in this) can come up with, probably locally at first , would be better spent on establishing traditional learning centers where whatever traditional skills that can still be found are taught and people are able to practice them with others. I am Six Nations which, like many, has a proud warrior tradition however I was taken during the sixties scoop and ended up growing up in Kamloops B.C. which was one of the places where unmarked graves were thought to be discovered at the Reservation Residential School grounds. I however, after a year in an orphanage was adopted and grew up as the only Indian not living on the Reservation. I was lucky, I was adopted by good people who loved me and they were my mom and dad and I was raised Roman Catholic. My family was deeply involved with the Church and all my experiences with the church were pleasant and I was an Alter Boy and was approached several times to apply for Seminary School. I was tempted because I have always enjoyed a quiet contemplative spiritual life but it just did not feel right. This touched off a decades long journey of self development, self reflection, and final self construction as well as many attempts to connect with whatever parts of me that were connected to the Native community. As time went on I began to look elsewhere and it was with Traditional Chinese Martial arts that I found a connection. It was a Shaolin style with a Traditional Sifu and he brought the whole package the deep Taoist and Buddhist philosophy and spirituality as well as the discipline, principals, duties and obligations of a warrior and through Traditional Chinese Medicine a whole system of healing. This impacted me wondrously as it was everything for which I had been searching. With a warrior drive to protect and an ever growing draw to healing I became a Firefighter and a Paramedic working in Toronto as a Firefighter and in the surrounding areas as a Paramedic as well as formalizing my healing drive with a Doctorate in Natural Medicine specializing in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I also opened a Natural Medicine clinic "The Inner Light Healing Center". Now I am 56 retired and a virus dissolved my liver and if I walk too fast I blackout. I mention this because I cannot tell you how much I wanted all this to come from the Native community but I had to find it elsewhere and it made a huge difference. Now imagine what a difference if children were able to learn this in the community, they grow up respecting the community and the culture and themselves, They grow up wanting to protect the community and the culture and themselves, they grow up wanting to heal the community, the culture and themselves and then they have a way to pass that on. That is the only way that we can get communities to heal and unite, that is the only way to get the communities to unite over common goals and beliefs , that is the only way to root out and prevent insidious agendas that are intended to dissent and fracturing of communities. I am sorry for this rant and promise to not comment any more.
What you think of these 5 areas that the Indigenous revolution is going to impact?

Thanks for another very informative video.😊
You're very welcome, Norah! I really appreciate your support. 🙏🏽🧡
Also, thank you again Mallory for your awesome videos, they help me feel closer to my native side, since I live in Oregon, far from my tribes area.

The Doctrine of Discovery has been a demolition sledgehammer.
Indigenous cultural and history is very rrich culture.
Hello i would like to find my spirit animal. My indian name is Fast Horse.
💛❤️🖤🤍✊️
All I see in the Native community today is gatekeeping and systematized victimhood status. I deeply wish I saw more but I do not.
