Exactly why my family doesn’t celebrate this American holiday. Who can celebrate genocide?? I am Kanaka Oiwi, I stand with my Native American brothers and sisters ✊🏽
I'm of native American descent and I know my history. My father passed on our oral history to me. My family was forcibly removed from Hiawasse, we rescued members of the lost colony and other ancestors land was stolen on the Chattahoochee river ( now called the Cherokee country club) of which they were never compensated for. My father suffered intergenerational trauma it was hard to watch him suffer. But don't feel sorry for me because I bought our land back in Chestuee (Rabbit town) Tennessee paid in full. I have an Emotional attachment to that land and I'm going to be buried one day. Remember Thanksgiving was the last harvest and the beginning of the massacres. I wont be celebrating that fact. Enjoy your Turkey.
This is why I don’t celebrate To learn how The Natives was slaughtered by the hands of the wicked! It’s nothing to celebrate the massacre and putting them in reservations.
This is especially relevant right now because what Israelis are doing to Palestinians is exactly the same as what white European settlers did to Native Americans.
We will never own the land, but always rent from the government. Even if you own your land taxes will get you in the end. IT'S WAS NEVER YOUR'S TO BEGIN WITH.
❤ In my town there is a local Native Americans community center. On Thanksgiving after my bath I wrap myself in a blanket and go w m family to the center to listen to their production about American Indian history. It’s my humble way of showing respect.
I'm sure that the reporter meant well, but the "Happy Thanksgiving" comment at the end is ironic. My best friend is [half] Native American and she refers to Thanksgiving as "Un-Thanksgiving" b/c it is a "negative" day in the Native American culture.
WE ARE NOT OUR FOREFATHERS JUST AS HE IS NOT YOU ARE ALL AMERICANS BLACK WHITE RED YELO WHATEVER GET OVER IT WE WILL NEVER GET TO THE NEXT CHAPTER IF WE DIDN,T LEARN BY THE FIRST. TOGETHER WE ARE THE GREATEST, DIVIDED WE ARE NOTHING BUT NOISE
Will this include pointing out that numerous native tribes were slave holders? By the way that includes the Cherokee Nation, which held numerous slaves. Just an FYI. Carry on.
It would be more helpful if our chief knew how to speak the language. They stripped funding for university courses because they didn’t fall into the guidelines for federal grants. Next he will holler for reparations all the while we are “sovereign”
I don’t blame our elders for not speaking traditional Cherokee. I understand and empathize with the abuse and trauma they went through to “assimilate”. The Keetoowah need to get off their high horse.
Christianized Colonized Homeless and Dehumanized in Denver Colorado USA Land of the Free???? Home of The Brave!!!! The 11 Hour is upon Us Koyaanisqatsi. Time To Do The Ghost Dance!!!!!
CHEROKEE NATION AND TENNESSEE BRED! MY FAMILY IS FULL BLOODED CHEROKEE IRISH! MOM AND DAD ARE IN HEAVEN NOW AND SOON WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN IN OUR HEAVEN!
@GarysnewYT it's common sense, I'm not bending over backwards to apologize to people who are ashamed by the lack of accomplishments of their ancestors societies...
Modern society has poisoned this land. We are the savages who came to this land. The Natives were doing fine and this land was doing fine without us. We are mobsters/hooligans who took this land. without regard to humanity. When the white man came here he found a garden curated by the native people. They were far superior to us as they understood meta-physics and the meta world. Our so called modern society is killing us - depression, diabetes, wars on other people and is very un-natural to the science of life.

Cherokee Braves, the very last Confederates to surrender. ❤
Thanks for the casinos & weed shops ✌️ sorry for stealing the land and everything else
"stealing"
$, battles, politics....
Sorry, Modern society could not exist next to Paleoithic stone age people. 🎉
What a stupid comment. Just confirms the guy's point, That most of America is ignorant about this.
Your comment is very callous and cold hearted.

@@eb1247 And that gives you the right to commit genocide, breaking treaties and backstabbing other people?
