We are the ORIGINAL AMERICANS! We were here before Columbus and the Pilgrims and we will still be here long after this country is dead and gone. Without us there is no United States of America. I am proud of my Cherokee blood and I will never forget the sacrifices that my people made for me. I love all of my fellow native brothers and sisters.
even though I'm asian and not related to america in any way, this made me cry. the pain the native americans have gone through is always supressed. we as people of this world have to help each other in developing and speaking their voice, not to supress and rule.
Proud as always to be indigenous.. as a Full blooded Navajo apart of the Navajo Tribe of the Four Corners. All of my relatives of the United States and Canada.. I love you all.
"misunderstanding all I see " , John + Yoko were working with native Americans , they covered the wounded incident with The FBI in the media , big story with John's assassination , they needed a bigger cover up story , two shooters , the guard Jose + chap I'll boy , MK Ultra , CIA , fbi , in we can go on
Native American tribes have embraced Islamic teachings. They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish colonizers. Native American tribes have known monotheism. And know God. If you are asked who is your God??...The answer is Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds and all the blessings He has bestowed. There is no God but Him (Allah). And Allah says in the Qur'an Surah Thaha: 14 'Indeed I am Allah, there is no god but Me, so worship Me and pray to remember Me.
My great great grandmother died on the the trail of tears. Cherokee. Restoration is so necessary. Nature is waiting for us to get it. Thank you so much!
I am from Croatia but recently i have the urge to visit native American people and give them our support We should all live from our hearts like children do Love everyone and everything Universal love is the solution for everything 🦅🦄🌟🦄🦅
There is truly no amount of words or apologies that can excuse the complete annihilation of an entire civilization. There is people out there who’re working and doing everything they can to help keep your cultures alive. Never give up hope and never ever let them take away who you are.
@@ifyousayso03 And at least acknowledging what happened and apologizing for it is a great start at making reparations happen, as opposed to what’s happening now where they’re just being swept under the rug as if it never even happened at all. Can’t have one without the other but that’s just my opinion.
@domicile ubiquitis Well when considering that those same exact tax payers are currently living on First Nations land and enjoying everything without any thanks, respect/dignity or even a simple acknowledgment for what has happened to them to begin with, then I’d have to say that’s the least that we can do for them honestly. Really it should be the government outright paying for anything/everything that they need to be prosperous but the last thing they want to do is invest into the same people that they tried to exterminate.
@domicile ubiquitis I’m not saying that they don’t have homes on reservations but when was the last time you took a look inside of a reservation? My guess is never because the homes many have in them are little more than shacks that are barely hospitable and the land on those reservations was/is hard to farm which makes it even harder to sustain themselves on top of that. They didn’t get to choose their homes, they were forced into them unlike everyone else.
Thank you so much for sharing this Ted Talk LoVina. I am not a Native American, but I give much honor to your people and value them for who they are. I am with you Native Americans!
I weep for what was done to your people your people are connected to this earth in a way no other culture has been I weep because of what was done to such a beautiful innocent race of people its the genocide noone likes to talk about I wish I had native american friends I have watched and read about Native Americans as much as I can and I am so amazed at your peoples resilience I pray that the almighty creator will restore what was stolen one day and I hope your people will someday come to see the truth of our world that with every generation comes more hope slowly but surely ❤️
I loved she ended we all bleed red. We all need to rid our hearts of hate for the damage done but to heal together and move forward. I am of other races but also Native. thank you this was a great presentation
My European ancestors weep within me. They cannot speak, they cannot ask forgiveness, but I can do it for them. My people are not free until we acknowledge the deeds of ignorance and cruelty of those who came before. Humility and remorse more than money, will bring the tears of truth. I honor you, LoVina Louie. I honor all of my race who have the courage to see the realities of this nation's his-and-herst'ry.
Words can't describe how I feel right now im full of pikuni pride right now im in tears that video hit hard the fact im standing on this earth is a testament to survival so many stories about how close it came to me not existing how my dad made his life's work to make sure the cycle of that pain wasn't pass to me he made sure my name wasn't stolen I still know of it from the stories told thru my dad and grandma I know the truth of things and nothing will ever take my pride my name my culture from me im thankful to be Indain for this profound connection I have to things
I cried my head off... I am very Sorry for your loss and heartache as a nation.... As a mother my spirit and heart would die if my child was stolen. ..
Thank you sister. We have all been hurt by the injustices of the past. You are truly beautiful inside and out. I feel peace, forgiveness and healing from your voice. You are /were a beautiful nation. God bless you 🙏😭😭😭😭
@@SleepiiAngelkat I'm honored by your reply. You are a walking angel on earth helping to shift the consciousness of mankind in the direction of love and understanding. You deserve all the thank yous there are to give. Keep on healing hearts!
I am moved to tears May all peoples awaken and see that we are all interconnected and with all living beings,the great spirit,the great mother,all planets and that only love and compassion reign A'Ho🪶🙏🪶
✊💖 I grieve for what has happened and continues to happen, but I have so much hope for the future. I stand with The Rebuilders and all Native People. Much love.
im a descendent of the ojibwe tribe and watching videos like this is helping me feel so much more connected to the part of me ive been denying or saying i wasn't part of, i am learning to accept that i am native American still. blood quantum doesn't matter to my tribe and i have been invited to visit the reservation anytime i like. my people are still here. we will remain here.
Thank you for this deeply touching presentation. Your voice, your words, your songs, and your video are all beautiful. Again thank you for your peace and love and insightful information.
Beautiful. Thank you. ❤ This video and more like it need to circulate. I've watched several this morning & have noticed a common thread of peace, love, connectedness and a wish for healing. No bitterness, no anger, no hatred, although each would be understandable. After several hundred years we still have a long way to go to understand what the indigenous peoples have to teach us. ☮❤🕊❤
I have Iroquois INDIAN IN MY BACKGROUND THAT I AM A NATIVE AMERICAN NO MATTER where we originated, we all are Gods children and should love one another in peace and respect. I have Irish,Scottish,English-Welch,German,Iroquois in my back ground and gravitational tendency for my Indian live if nature and to live in harmony with the invirment for a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I agree we have destroyed our beautiful land that God entrusted to be caretakers of our plants & animals. To all people to live in peace. She has a beautiful spirit and compassion for her ancestors for there future as true native Americans.
Hello LoVina, I just wanted to tell you that I loved your whole video, and I was highly touched by you and your daughter's most precious memory together. It seems to me that the Eagles blessed you both. As a White woman, I just want to apologize for any hurt that my ancestors caused your ancestors. Thank God that Today is a new Day. Though we have done much damage to Earth, We have a chance to change the path we as a planet are on. I pray that we All come out the other side of these times and walk together into a new beautiful future where we can all honor each other, and Mother Earth from the bottom of our hearts. May the sun always shine upon you. Namaste
Thank you so much. I’m trying to write something in honor of the indigenous, Native American tribes but I need to research a lot first. This is fantastic.
I have 1/4 Mohawk Tribe nationality but I also have a mix of European ancestry as well, but this video spoke to me. It gives me chills when she sings in her native language.
I cried while listening to the outpouring of your heart. I feel what you say in a place deep within me. I am not , that I know of, Native American, but I am human just like you an like you said we all bleed the same red blood....I feel the connection with the earth and the air around me and remind myself in this busy world we live in that connection is the most important life sustaining quality that we have. Thank you for the knowledge that you continue to pass on. Thank you for the sense of hope that you speak and life giving energy of your words. The "white" man was wrong in so many ways and I am so sorry for what happened and continues to happen to the generations past and present. It takes people like you to stand up and inspire...not tear down or blame or ridicule. I'm proud of our Native American heritage and I'm so proud and honored that you are making a difference. We all can if we just try.
When She sang the first song. I started to cry, as soon as I heard the first note and I could not stop crying. I am so sad that so many human being suffer, because the balance on this world got out of balance.
I met many wonderful Navaho people on my two experiences with the Sierra Club sites in Utah. One gifted me with a spectacular view of wilderness from a private road in Colorado on my way to Utah. Others shared their stories and humor. I felt blessed to know these people. We need to respect and protect their tribal heritage.
Thank you for sharing this amazing and inspirational video. I have been blessed to have been reminded of the richness of FN cultures. The road to healing is a long and arduous journey may you find peace and fulfillment of all your dreams for the next 7 generations and beyond. What you are doing is drying the tears of your ancestors and giving new hope to carry them forward. Such beauty and strength in your people.
Thank-you for being who you are, for bringing us the truth about ,not only your people, but also my people, our people. The video made me cry . I support two organizations of Native American children, Now I Love you and your people more, as well as all the Native American children. I will always honor your people present and gone.
I don't know who my people were, what they were called , what language they spoke, BUT I am proud of my Native American heritage. My nose, my long hair, the color of my skin. I love it all. I know one day the land in the americas will one day be ours again. I dream of the day. Until then...
Much LOVE and praying for these great people to get back their power in all possible meanings and lead us to the great connection and living in peace and harmony with the Mother Earth and all the beings! Which means to be in tune with our real selves.
Excellent. The People will prevail. Your sacrifice is great it should not have been this way. Your love for this life and land and this life and land have great love for the People it is not possible that great love can be separated for long. Time for homecoming, home is where the heart lives. Good minds and good hearts prepare for the return the coming home for everyone. Thank you .
😢 to touch a soul deeply the words tell the truth the pain is released a new traditional way has been born. Such a beautiful song story feel privileged to see this Ted Talk 😢 ❤
its important to,learn and understand the different kinds of Tribes and their cultures,Its sad that people are not protected in their land,the rain forest should be protected land,we should all learn to respect and love one another and respect each other and our different cultures.
I met a man who was obviously one hundred percent Native American. I was expecting him to say to us, “Go back to your own country.” He didn’t. He turned out to be a man with self respect, humility and he was respectful to everyone. He was really nice to this elderly man who thought that people wanted to poison him. The elderly man seemed to trust the indigenous American man. I am not, but the elderly man trusted me too. I always liked older people for a long time. What we had in common was our emotional maturity. He liked my Dad a whole lot. Indigenous Americans are very tolerant people who accept everyone in America no matter who you are.
I'm here to make amends and begun reconciliation for what, most of, my ancestors did to the Indigenous Human Beings from Turtle Island. I'm deeply honored and grateful for being born and growing up on Chinook land.
Blessings and thank you..... America needs to heal from this tragedy. It never has, and you can see that things are getting crazier because we are so out of balance. I pray that people begin to wake up and listen and heal. In the last 3 years, I learned that my grandfather's family was murdered in Ukraine by the Nazis, and I also learned that I am Native American as well. I have always felt the pain of my ancestors even before I knew. My heart knew.
Thank you for speaking. Sorry to see such few viewings. I did share to my Facebook friends. We have the Montana Youth Challenge Academy here in my little town of Dillon Montana. I have been fortunate to have made friends from members of our tribal community through my work as a wildland firefighter, wildland medic, and as a hydrologist. Glad that you have found your voice!
I have traveled through your city of Dillion. I was very impressed. We visited your local museum with its Indian art. I am so glad you have set aside cultural differences and found respect for the indigenous people In your area. You are a blessing.
@@dianemitchell1717 Much credit goes to one of our beloved doctors, Doctor Loge. After taking care of our bodies, he retired and was asked to look at all the artifacts. He worked with members of the Salish and Kootenai tribes. Having myself worked with the tribes, I was so happy. My daughter and grandson visited this summer and I sent them over as well. Underneath everything, we are human beings. All out of Africa. Just different paths.
If you’re Hispanic then chances are you might have some type of Indigenous blood. Middle America (Mexico) and South America also had indigenous people. South and Middle America with the most well known (Aztec, Incan, Mayan, etc.). Is possible.
That is a beautiful waiata (song) and a honest truthful reality for all indigenous people, who have suffered frim colonization, Our language beaten out of us, whenua (land) stolen. I will overcome the pain, we shall remain
What a deeply emotional and heartfelt appeal to a loving understanding of us all. May we as a humanity unite and cooperate in full understanding and reverence for one another regardless where we come from...
As a future hiatory teacher i promise, that i will teach, speak and never forget about your struggles and unbelievable amount of trauma, that we brought to you, and all xour brothers and sisters. We shall never forget what happened and what is still happening to your people. I hope that future generations of chlidren will know what happened, and will treat you as a equal to each other. I hope that you will found peace and return to your homeland.
We are the ORIGINAL AMERICANS! We were here before Columbus and the Pilgrims and we will still be here long after this country is dead and gone. Without us there is no United States of America. I am proud of my Cherokee blood and I will never forget the sacrifices that my people made for me. I love all of my fellow native brothers and sisters.
Ahem. It was called the Western Lands. America (both north & South) was named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer.
The term for such people is Waisichu. It means Greedy One. It is the driving spirit of capitalism.
@@MAG320 long before that this land was referred to as Turtle Island and I challenge you to find out why.
Yeah, you came first, and you are cool.
@@sharonkaczorowski8690 does waisichu mean Coyote in your language?

I met a man who was obviously one hundred percent Native American. I was expecting him to say to us, “Go back to your own country.” He didn’t. He turned out to be a man with self respect, humility and he was respectful to everyone. He was really nice to this elderly man who thought that people wanted to poison him. The elderly man seemed to trust the indigenous American man. I am not, but the elderly man trusted me too. I always liked older people for a long time. What we had in common was our emotional maturity. He liked my Dad a whole lot. Indigenous Americans are very tolerant people who accept everyone in America no matter who you are.
❤️
Even when he said go back he is still very respected. And white people need to get the fok out of Americas everywhere.
May God bless you and your people, keep you standing for your rights with strength that only HE can provide 🙏
Her name fits her so well. Such a beautiful and powerful voice 💛
I'm here to make amends and begun reconciliation for what, most of, my ancestors did to the Indigenous Human Beings from Turtle Island. I'm deeply honored and grateful for being born and growing up on Chinook land.
thank you thank you for sharing the culture and experiences of these beautiful people.
Blessings and thank you..... America needs to heal from this tragedy. It never has, and you can see that things are getting crazier because we are so out of balance. I pray that people begin to wake up and listen and heal. In the last 3 years, I learned that my grandfather's family was murdered in Ukraine by the Nazis, and I also learned that I am Native American as well. I have always felt the pain of my ancestors even before I knew. My heart knew.
I love to hear her speak. Such a beautiful person.
Thank you for what your doing!
Powerful! Thank you so much.

Well I don't think I can argue with this woman
Thank you for speaking. Sorry to see such few viewings. I did share to my Facebook friends. We have the Montana Youth Challenge Academy here in my little town of Dillon Montana. I have been fortunate to have made friends from members of our tribal community through my work as a wildland firefighter, wildland medic, and as a hydrologist. Glad that you have found your voice!
lim lemtsh much appreciated :)
I have traveled through your city of Dillion. I was very impressed. We visited your local museum with its Indian art. I am so glad you have set aside cultural differences and found respect for the indigenous people
In your area. You are a blessing.
@@dianemitchell1717 Much credit goes to one of our beloved doctors, Doctor Loge. After taking care of our bodies, he retired and was asked to look at all the artifacts. He worked with members of the Salish and Kootenai tribes. Having myself worked with the tribes, I was so happy. My daughter and grandson visited this summer and I sent them over as well. Underneath everything, we are human beings. All out of Africa. Just different paths.
Absolutely beautiful. So full of hope & strength
so true love an respect always from the uk
You touched my heart. Thank you my grandparents were born in New Mexico they say we have navajo but I'm not shure
If you’re Hispanic then chances are you might have some type of Indigenous blood. Middle America (Mexico) and South America also had indigenous people. South and Middle America with the most well known (Aztec, Incan, Mayan, etc.). Is possible.
That is a beautiful waiata (song) and a honest truthful reality for all indigenous people, who have suffered frim colonization, Our language beaten out of us, whenua (land) stolen. I will overcome the pain, we shall remain
love you :) prayers to you
Beautiful message that we all can learn from❤️
What a deeply emotional and heartfelt appeal to a loving understanding of us all.
May we as a humanity unite and cooperate in full understanding and reverence for one another regardless where we come from...
