All peoples migrated to north America..native American hate groups need to be punished..just as other hate groups are...So blaming other races for your problems...is bull crap !#
...and let us not forget who started slavery, wars and stealing of lands..centuries before white people came to north America..if you going to tell a story..tell it truthfully..the Only race is the human race..period !!..If you think different then that.. you are not embrassing your culture..you are being racist..own that !!..Stop Hate !!!
Example of native American hate...learn your history.
History of the Black Hills and who stole it from other people before the white man did.....
The Arikara arrived by AD 1500, followed by the Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa and Pawnee. The Lakota (also known as Sioux) arrived from Minnesota in the 18th century and drove out the other tribes, who moved west. They claimed the land, which they called Ȟe Sápa (Black Mountains).
Every one migrated here...no one popped out of the north American soil...no one !!..and the earily ones we made up of many cultures and colors..
change your name to a Mexica one before you ask for anything indigenous, you clown..
Thank you for covering topics very few Americans know about. Alaska's history is as big as its land...wide and vast. Uncovering its complexity and revealing dark secrets and misconceptions with beautiful culture and almost lost traditions is wonderful!
Kanaka maoli here and I gotta say, YESSAH, WE WILL STAND WITH YOU. WE STANDING FOR OUR CULTURAL AND LAND RIGHTS JUST AS YOU (pretty sure one of our preparations for sovereignty called nation of hawaii in waimanalo made an alliance with an alaskan tribe, but I forgot which one
Hate to see how European people stayed here and now they claimed the land as “theirs” even do they came like what 300 years ago while natives have been here for thousands of years
@@mariareginavonravensburg7569
You are right 👍
First russian expeditions and settlements were in 1600s.
Westerners came in early 1800s.
Марков Скороходов Markas Sko 12A still they have no right to kick them out when they’ve been here for thousands of years
Goodness Graces you don’t have to write a entire paragraph just to make a point that you can give out in two sentences
@Idriss Deby it doesn’t matter when they committed massacres but the past is the past
This was a great abridged presentation. I'm a Tlingit from the village of Angoon though I live in Juneau. It was great to see and hear what others are doing to address historical trauma as well as standing up for the right to live as the people we are, from where we are.
This is a great video and keep the Indigenous content coming.
i live in alaska and i even get misconseptions about them, they need handouts because food there is expensive because we can't get stuff up in the central and northen lands, and they have to live off the land that they have, we should reform the rules for alaska natives
Frick
Alaska tribes a long time ago stole LAND FROM EACH OTHER STOP SAYING THAT ITS NOT STEALING
I do too but i don’t have misconceptions i live in the only place where it’s actually okay to call natives Eskimos at least that’s what natives tell me
@@Hi-nv8rn I have a great respect for the native people of Alaska because they have a way of life that they can live that is not wholly dependable on white folk. For a hundred thousand years the native people of Alaska lived by their traditional ways and means and lived good and survived well without interference from the white colonisers. Please know that you are recognised and revered as true hunter gatherers to this day by many peoples around the world. Your traditions are still relevant today and the way the world is on a collision course for disaster your traditional way of life will become more relevant as time goes by. A pure pristine, healthy life style that many would love to know and live.
They natives needing handouts is much more complicated than the price of food. Among reasons like racism and chronic depression from living under foreign occupation. It is also do to our heritage and hunting and gathering rights being stolen from us.

The island of Cuba is surrounded by 1,600 islets and cays, which Cubans are forbidden to access. No fishing there by the regular Cuban person. There are many laws regarding fishing in all the areas that have good shrimp, lobster, desirable fish, they are all off limits except by government officials. Cubans are forbidden to own their own boats. When you find a designated areas, you have to walk to the area you are fishing, not allowed to arrive to the area by bycicle, nor car, AND you cannot have a knife with you, in case you want to clean the fish, and sell it along the way. Nope, it's forbidden. Yep, today, in August of the year 2021.
How are the fishing rights doing in Alaska? Who can fish, where can you fish, can you sell what you catch?
This is indeed very powerful. The planets Indigenous people and their traditional ways are the keepers of keys and codes to evolving consciousness that is a gift to the entire world. Non-indigenous people would do well to pay attention to the gifts our indigenous people hold. Honor their ways they have much to share.
Thank you. The other commenter is a bit slow lol. But there is wisdom in your words. Can't wait for the people of earth to work together because we can all learn much from each other.

I just started talking to a guy from Alaska and he just started sending me some cute phrases in Yupik, being curious I decided to do some research about his culture. It’s so fascinating!
My girlfriend is a native from Alaska, Yup'ik to be exact. She is very fiery and emotional. Almost feral, but in a positive sense, if that makes any sense. Very appreciative to be hers considering how unique of a human she is. Beautiful, strong, independent and intelligent woman.
From the other side of the world, I honour what you do.
It's nice to know the different nations. We should learn history, government, and civics from many different points of view.
im also from Alaska too is nice too see some online for once !
In Alaska every village is a different people and the main groups people know are actually just native corporations
That's not true. Every village isn't a different people. I don't think people outside of Alaska know what native corporations are.
That was short . I'm fascinated! Is there a longer version of the truth?
As a Hungarian, I am puzzled by these things...
A great video
What can you tell me about totem poles in Native American culture? How are they used traditionally?
So very cool that you are strong in your culture. Hold onto it, its precious in todays world of globalism "sameness". Id be proud to be of your descent. Awesomeness!
I am so wowed by this video.
Beautiful people with a beautiful culture. Hang on to it.
I read a book over 20 years ago about an Alaskan Indian woman who walked 1,000 miles across Alaska after being left. It was supposed to be a true story from many decades ago. I have been trying to remember the name and find a copy for over 20 years now.
Perhaps "Two Old Women"? It's a story about 2 sick, elderly women that we're left behind in the harsh winter. Their adventure and struggles I will leave to you to read for yourself :)
It is Sidney Huntington's autobiography cowritten and called Shadows on the Koyukuk and that was his amazing mother.
I wonder who was paying attention when America took Hawaii and Alaska for their own, in the late 50's. In front of everyone, with no adverse repercussions whatsoever...
Thank you!
We don't need handouts just let us live like we did the last 12000 years
i hope..you can take back your land from white
@Idriss Deby the invaders forced such names on us during the reeducation years of colonialism. My family just randomly picked the last name Wilson because the desk jockey told us to pick something.
We've been here much longer than that cousin.
I’m native Alaskan
we hope alaskian people oneday take back your homeland...stay stronge
We will. And thank you!
@@benwilson5893 then make more babies like Nigerians 😃
Cool video
RESPECT!
Can you tell me about Samuel Saxman?
Alaskan Natives especially Aleut People has an ancestor of the Austronesian from Pacific Islanders (Filipinos, Melanesians, & Polynesians)
Wow
That's the way all OUR PEOPLE OF INDIGENOUS CULTURE is always stereo types no just alaska all over the untied states of so called america...
Tohono O'Odham people of the desert...
I just found out from the dna test, i have indigenous native american in me.
Love the girl in blue. Why'd she look like Katara from Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Last Airbender(2005-2009)"?
I read national geographic's atlas of Indian nations. Eskimos aren't the only tribe in Alaska.
Solutions to improve lives of Alaska natives:
1- shut down the welfare state.
2- those who still speak indigenous languages should continue teaching them. Start teaching children the language while they're young.
3- Allow natives to buy land and a way to make mo ey off the land is either lease to logging, oil and mining companies or even be outfitters/guides to hunters, fishermen and backpackers
Eskimos aren't a tribe...
I’m Orthodox, aren’t a lot of Alaskan natives orthodox?
Oh there is, there’s a Russian orthodox priest I know who is Aleut
From Alaska to Argentina Indios Americanos ❤
God bless Alaska, God bless USA.
that one man is mixed, you can straight up tell
I want us to make videos about our life .... ...
Please do 💓 any videos. Even from your phone.
I was born in Alaska. I don't remember much of it. I remember the Northern Lights. They were gorgeous.
I know you are beautiful people it’s what happened in the past and the future
WHERE ARE MY Alaska natives
Heyo
hey cuzz
Upper Susitna Denaʼina!
if you put a dish in a sink.....it will.
I wish Native Hawaiians could achieve a similar level of sovereignty.
Inuit not Eskimo.
Malcolm Soh Inuit are from and live in Canada. Alaskan Natives are Yupik, Inupiaq, Aleut, et cetera. Calling us Inuit isn't anymore correct than calling us Eskimos. Many of us don't mind the Eskimo label. I identify as Yupik, or a Yupik Eskimo, never as Inuit. "Eskimo" is easily understood by many to mean "Alaskan Native."
but isnt the name 'Eskimo' --'eater of raw flesh' considered as derogatory? Whereas a more suitable name Inuit should be used for referencing natives who live in Canada and to some extend Alaskan Natives.
Malcolm Soh I do eat raw meat, so I don't consider it derogatory, I understand why some think it would be. It may have come from another Native American tribe that meant "wears snow-shoes.", I've never worn those. I'm not Inuit, I don't like the idea of being appropriating their name for who my people, the Yupit, are. If we must be lumped together by outsiders it might as well be under the name they lumped us under.
Peter Evans points out, in this video, it a misconception that "we're all Eskimos," in that same context it would be another misconception to label us all Inuit.
Delete *being before appropriating.
White people call Inuits Eskimo so the name is more familiar, at least thats what my mom tells me. I have a Yupik Eskimo name and I'm from the Inupiaq tribe
Some have non Alaska Native genes it looks like
yeah, like the white boy talking in the video who looks like you
You probably missed the part about there being several different genes in Alaska. That happened long long time ago by several different migrations into Alaska over tens of thousands of years. Because unlike the self righteous pure blood people who mutated themselves through extreme inbreeding into pasty white people, we had laws against breeding within our family and village. And encouraged mixed blood. Trust me white people science is slowly catching up with ancient people science and is finally supporting our ancient knowledge that pure blood is bad. White people are slow to accept that fact do to keeping it in the family for countless generations, and because their main power in the world coming from raising their children to be racist, but they'll have to admit that incest is wrong someday... Maybe.
My mom!
A story that is very similar to the story of the inuit of Greenland. My people, the danes, treated them badly, badly, badly: no understanding at all of the skills, knowledge that the inuits possess. I feel angry about how arrogant and blind we were and still are. Imagine being able to survive and establish a life with a great culture in the arctics? Just looking at their utensils, clothing and the art tells me that these peoples are very intelligent.... I'm glad that there is a revival of culture and spirit going on today among the young inuit.
We brought you karen!
The original hippies.
👍
Funny part. Both Indian native leaders and state leaders. Agreed the lands for Indian and natives and we'll sell the oil all so pay as tribes earlier date and time well get them the stuff. The youth. Courses and eduications. Not hand outs from the ones saying we going for hand outs. I laugh saddenly sad. We got targets need removed cause of misunderstanding.
Some Eskimos moved in to the igloo next-door, there goes the neighborhood
Tribe of Gad!
God*
Did america or russian colonized alaska?
Russians and Brittish, and then Russia sold Alaska to the Americans
Definitely want their handouts. Plain and simple.
It's funny how they call us latino but we really represent the color red on Nican tlaca not Brown. But where really Mongoliod indigenous from the edge of Alaska all the way down to south America. This whole land was called Cemanahuac. And we migrated from Asia. We have similar bloodlines to Samoa Hawaii tonga and Asia. We surround this whole globe and are against each other, what needs to happen is that all bloodlines of the medicine wheel need to unite to gain higher consciousness and develop mentally,physically and spiritually. Mongoliod negriod(nubian), and caucasiods. Basically all the gangs of today are replicas of the tribes of yesterday that need to open there eyes and exit the matrix. Alot of people forget about the crusades and all the unnecessary bloodshed and separating. Only 3 rules to live by : don't hurt yourself or others, help others and leave the dimension better than found
Why isnt the native American dna spread across the migration routes in Asia?
Asians came here we didn't go there
Nun Ya lol my boy, I heard this a lot. And I don’t know where you got this from. All Indians from Alaska all the way down to Latin America are the same people. All contain 9 repeated allele genes. We did in fact came from Asia but we are not the same race as Asians or Mongolians. Just cause y’all look like them does not mean you are them. Some Alaskan and Canadian natives may in fact have Asian blood in them because Asia is soo close to them and could have mix but that is just a small amount of the population on natives in Alaska and Canada. Literally you should look at pictures of Indians in the Latin America like the tarahumara, mayans and the Yaqui. They look very similar to Alaskan and Canadian Indians. Stop the ingnorance :)
🙏👍💜
Difference as china and india🇮🇳
Dang so no Mexican food in Alaska? Oh well.
Marjorie is so pretty.
asap sciences did a much better job.
🇨🇳 China And India 🇮🇳 Example Surprise Me
Wonder how much of what has been lost from the ancient traditions was the dignity that came from hard work. Making dog harnesses from seal skin, etc. It's easy to understand, though, why it was easy to move from those life and death existences to something that promised an easier life.
From old footage of "village parties" beating the drum and dancing, the old ways don't look more mystical than any other block party. Just a place for people to finally get some human interaction.
As much as people think "white civilization" means Christianity, in large part it just means adopting the social customs collectively agreed upon as okay in a place where a lot of people call themselves Christian.
If these people could actually be introduced to the God-man who left heaven to walk on this treacherous planet, enduring the elements so He could say "I've been where you are, I hear your pain, I love you, I'll die to redeem you from your mess" maybe there wouldn't be so much pain in these indigenous communities.
Yes, they need Jesus. We all do! He didn't stay dead, either. He's available to any who believe.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
I am Eskimo still...lol.....this might lighten you up., we are grateful, through for caring for homeless in big cities, life is hard, . but it couldn't be hard then this...www.nfb.ca/directors/quentin-brown/
You may believe you have good intentions but you sound condescending and think like missionaries did. It helped justify the reason our native and indigenous people’s land was stolen, to benefit colonizer’s business interests. The harms of Christianity spread out still today, often condemning native peoples for their cultural beliefs. I forgive you for you may not know better but please allow us to hear the voice of our Alaska Native tribes and Nations without your outside opinion of them. Native peoples do not suffer and have not endured because of a lack of belief in a Christian god, it is because their land was stolen and colonizer’s injustices all across the world especially during the 1800’s. They drink because of generational trauma and other conditions caused directly by the harms colonizers brought and committed against native and indigenous Alaskans. I was so fortunate to become close to an Aleutian friend in elementary school when I lived in Anchorage as a young girl. I miss her to this day and see her face and hear her voice and remember how she spoke to me and how respectful of her family and others and her knowing right from wrong. I cannot remember her name but I appreciate her for all she taught me, and for being such a kind friend. From Hawaiian kanaka maoli to Alaska natives I send much aloha and may we onipa’a, stay steadfast and immovable. Blessings to our native sisters and brothers, how nice to hear your voices and listen to your stories. IMUA!!! Go forward toward a brighter future with unmistakable strength and courage! 💓💓💓💯🤙🏽
Thanks for your reply! You are right-colonization and people using religion as a foothold for greed have done unspeakable damage. We agree.
I don’t think it’s helpful to banish all outside opinions, however. Only when dialogue happens can true healing take place.
God bless you and each indigenous group you mentioned. What a better place it would be if all of us shared a love for the land where our Creator placed us. Peace!
What do people get wrong?...as a white a person, im gonna what do ppl (outside the culture ) get right?
Buzzfeed ?
Real people ?
The word indigenous is not helping you its saying you lost the land to the settlers
All u 39 people who dislike this should be ashamed of yourselves
Blame the creator
Russian heritage, in all individual nations
This is a great video to learn more about Alaska natives... for example... everything they say they specifically "aren't"... those all give you a pretty good idea of what most of them "are". Like... statistically... most Alaska native ARE Eskimo. That's not a slur, in fact, it's the term 90% of them use for themselves. Also, alcoholism IS the number one issue among Alaska natives. And they have the highest percentage of government assistance of any ethnic group in the entire United States. SO this is a great video... just take the opposite of everything they say.
dumb.

Nice having free health care
That was a temporary bribe. Only low income natives qualify for free health care just like anyone else now.
more native tattoos that I have never heard of. I am Yup'ik. The people that get them can't explain the logic behind them.
All humans are native.
All humans are indigenous to the earth.
We all came from the same ancestors essentially.
It’s great to celebrate the cultures we steam from but essentially human beings together as one is what our next evolution is.
She said colonization is why there’s drugs alcohol and suicide.. funny I see that in the white black and brown communities..
greed and war are the problems. And either it be a brown Mayan king, a white French king, a black Ethiopian king, or a yellow Cambodian king..
Greed will lead to all the same sins every empire suffers from.
Changes the system but respect all people.. not long ago in human history is was white Europeans that were being enslaved by Rome and the other ancient empires
Top 3 least funny people
Don’t blame alcoholism and drug abuse on others
White settlers = invaders, colonizers and occupiers
"I speak English" You'll be speaking Russian soon! 😂😅😆😅 You know Russia is coming for their old lands.
That’s not even accurate in the slightest
all they talk about though is blame and not how to fix it or anything like it
Only way to fix it is by not letting the government "develop" anything else. they are trying to stop the government. All they want is their way of life (hunting and tribal rituals). they don't need hand outs, just freedom to hunt and THEIR LAND BACK!'
O.C.S. wrongfully removed my children ignoring my family's protected rights violating ICWA. I need help. I need legal representation. I'm not being represented properly by my public defender. Please help. The State of Alaska is trying to remove my parental rights and my children have been with a white foster family for 3 months.
I am sorry you are going through this. I used to have an attorney friend who worked ICWA cases and I helped him with the cases sometimes. It was in California and he is not licensed in Alaska but my heart is strong with you. I am in Hawai’i if I can be of help to you, please let me know. What Alaska Nation are you? I don’t know how to see replies but I will check back here to see if you hopefully got my message.
Don't solve a problem just put blame and it's okay
Recognizing the problem isn't putting blame on it. Just because you don't like what your people did, doesn't mean it still isn't affecting the native people of today. So I guess the "African American" "Native American" "Native Alaskans" or pretty much any people affected by colonization is just putting blame? You should really read some books. It might help with the critical thinking skills.
You people seem angry that you think Im missed informed
All humans are "Native" to Earth.
Human lineages root back millions of years through many lands and bodily shapes.... so no group of humans in their current form originated necessarily in a particular spot on this globe. What you are doing is called "identity politics" which is a Democrat tool for their divide and conquer tactic.... You're the SJW
I have respect and love for all people. I think it's time for us to start focusing more on our similarities and less on our differences, especially as this world becomes more and more populated and we're living should to shoulder! Hahah Respect and love to you sister!
Yes all lives matter
Native means thar ur ancestors are from a certain land, continent, etc. Unless ur part Native American, ur ancestors are probably european and thus u would be native of europe and not America.
THANK YOU JACK
They Are Not Indigenous. They Came From Mongolia And Other Asian Countries During The 9th And 10th Century And Are Majority Proto-Mongoloids Or Mixed With True Indigenous. This Is Well Documented In The 10th Century Mongol Novel Fusang Translated In The 13th Century.The Break Down Of The Word Indigenous: "Indi" means Black And Genous Means Belonging Too. They've Been Here For A While Longer Than The White Man, But This Land And Every Land's Real Indigenous, Autochtonous, Land Elders Are The Dark Hue Melanated Peoples. Leprosy Albino Mutation Happens In Land's Without Sunlight, So You Do The Math What Land Those Might Be They Derived From. Antarctica Is A Place On That List As Is Some Areas Of Siberia.
