      Sadly Many Indian reserves in Canada are disasters. I stayed at a hotel on apache land and it was spit and polish, 100% native run, I was so impressed. Wait maybe it was Navajo.

    As a Native American living in North Carolina all my life, we didn't grow up on a reservation, just a small town in one of the poorest counties in the state. I absolutely love how you visit various tribes and the reservations. I love seeing how similar/different life is growing up on a reservation verses a town.

      I’m Choctaw from Louisiana and what’s interesting is most tribes east of the Mississippi River don’t have your traditional Reservation like the tribes out west. Most of the land here was claimed by the white man so we either lived with them or had to buy the land back for ourselves. Reservations were implemented to appease us. But it ended up doing a lot of harm as well. Cause the land is super poor and resource inefficient.

I laughed and told her she can't be full blooded of two things, but she said that's the magic of that combination. She passed away a few years ago, but your comment made me think of her. By the way, it is a very, very common cultural mix here, the Irish and the native people in the Western USA got along very, very well. And, btw, Butte MT is, by population percentage, the most Irish place in America. Both the native & non-native people here stand in solidarity with Ireland too, btw, you all have some deep history with English speaking people trying to wipe you out, too.

    Has anyone else noticed the common denominator with all the different Native American Tribes/Nations? They all work come together and work together to feed and care for the elderly, the widows, the sick..................they care for and take care of each other!!! Even the ones in Alaska on the island!!! I have always had the utmost respect for all Native Americans. How so many families can come together and live as one when it comes to caring for their community. The RESPECT for the lands and water ways! How they hunt only for food and have always been the caretakers of the earth and wildlife has always made me want to learn more about them. They have so much more knowledge in caring for and healing the land than anyone I have ever known. I know their knowledge has been passed down through many generations, and I am so glad that they continue to use that knowledge and pass it on to the next generation. I wonder how many people have ever thought of how they were able to not only survive but to prosper with the very minimalistic of tools and sheer brute strength through all seasons and catastrophic events. I wish there were something I could do to help them get their land, I think our country owes them that (and more).

      In Alaska the tribes also have the authority to banish members from their community or village for a period of years for misbehavior such as drunkenness, fighting, theft or other offenses.

My brother looked back into our families history but could only go back to the 1600's or so. To know your lineage for thousands of years is pretty special.

    The last two "reservation" documentaries you filmed were awesome!!! I used to work for the State of Ca in Susanville. We had several natives in our care. I learned a tad about life from them. Even got to watch prayer time during sweat sessions inside an actual tee-pee with the Paiute tribe. I also grew up near DQU which years ago was a tribal college. Simply amazing people. I also know of an 18 year old kid that receives $800k a year from the tribe he's in via casino monies, yet his own siblings get nothing. Personally, anytime the US Govt gets involved in the lives of people, things are worse for everyone involved. Personally, I love the native people, and this freaking Govt should stay the hell out of their lives

      @@wesleybrown3266 my dad suggested "Black Elk Speaks" when I had a written history report in seventh grade. We had to do oral reports on historical people that witnessed incidents. Like the moon landing, or an autobiography about pilots from WWII. Unfortunately I can no longer ask him any suggestions on books, he passed away about six years ago. He Majored in English, while at Pepperdine University, and picked Russian, Greek and Native American literature. However, I did some research, and you could always try: "Dog Flowers: A Memoir by Danielle Geller" or "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer." They are both autobiographical and you can learn about different outlooks. I hope those help! I know my dad had mentioned another book to me all those years ago, I'm just sorry I can't recall who it was about.

    Love that area (I'm salish & colville lived on both rezes during my childhood, now live in cherokee). Turtle lake was the best place growing up as a kid. Beautiful place and people. I understand trying to walk two paths, it is a different way of being. Especially when you're mixed blood like most of us are. I don't view it in a bad way, I'm thankful to know that my very existence is a result of my ancestors surviving genocide & boarding schools. But I do not hold bitterness in my heart either. Love is colorblind.

    Thank you, Peter. Love it. We are in great debt to the Native Americans, in many ways- I thank them every day for all the food (corn, potatoes, sunflowers, strawberries, avocados, chocolate, tomatoes, squash, and so on, the list is very long. The diet in Europa was very poor before- they made it rich, and their culture is great, love it.
    The history of Native Americans is just so sad, a genocide, but some survived and can still learn us a lot.
    Looking forward to watching all of those videos from the Reservations.

    • @standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory

      And not just the food, our form of democracy was heavily influenced by their long history of freedom. The "American Way" is much more Turtle Island (the best name I have found for the pre-colonial region) than we ever admit. The native people did not focus on tech, true, but were innovators of so much!! New info keeps coming out, but the first people were very advanced & definitely the founders of what we have today. All we had to do was collaborate fairly, and their "Eden" could have been ours too.
