As a Roma my self I was shocked when I see these Irish and Scottish travellers that how similar way of life they have even their professions were the same .. I’m just shocked .. god bless Irish and Scottish travellers from a roma 🙏 ❤ 💪🏻 🇮🇪 🏴 ..
Thank you so much for everyone who had a part in this brilliant film. Wonderful script, beautiful and clever (in a good way) graphics, lovely music, incredibly informative, humane, and just plain perfect. I learned more in five minutes about gypsies/Roma/travellers than in the whole rest of my life. It should be required viewing in schools, youth organisations, and perhaps Parliament. Wonderful!
Wonderful to come across this it explains a lot in a beautiful way , my daughter in law is an amazingly strong gypsy lady .I will share this film with my grandchildren so they may understand there heritage , thank you to everyone involved
My Dad's family were Roma but my Grandmother inherited a farm in Wales. They opened a chip shop in Brynawel near the pit. My Grandad was killed in that pit but I always remember the 3 horseshoe trivet my Nan kept in her fire grate from her travelling days.
Thanks for educating us. My sense is the irish travellers were the remnants of the gaelic old order, and deserve great respect for never submitting to english law
An excellent short film. I am not a traveller myself but I have always been interested in your way of life. This film taught me a lot about your lives from the past. Thank you for sharing it.
What a lovely short film explaining the history of travelling people & their heritage (OUR HERITAGE). What a pity that #Pritipatel seems to want to exterminate them! #PCSC_2022
Ah this is lovely! Thanks for making it. I knew a bit of the Mincéir stuff but didn't know about the Scottish and Roma parts as well. Will share this on!
Absolutely beautiful and the rythm and pace of it was so lovely. I learned so much and want to know so much more. I think I may have some 'Gypsy' blood, from some research I have done. Exciting!
It's a good video, basic information and yet there is much, much more to the history of our people. Much more. You should of added the full repetoire of our skill sets. We are not all tree surgeons and ground worker's. Many of us are artists, entertainers, diplomats.
This is interesting to me, at the beginning of the video and in the thumbnail the patten is clearly from an ornament maker called Royal Crown and Darby. It's been collected by all three groups for years, along with Royal Worcester, Royal Dolton and Waterford Crystal
Ethically speaking, there is no reason why a nomadic lifestyle should not be possible even today. Surely, society at large could make things easier for those communities who wish to continue that lifestyle. Tradition is not bad unless it becomes a conservative form of traditionalism. And that is a problem for all communities, not just the nomadic ones. :)
@@moonbug7252 Gorjas, yes are non-Gypsies. A pikey is a non-traveller also but the reason they get called pikey is because they are trying to imitate traditional Romany Gypsy, they are new age travellers which I remember the term back in the 80s.
@@AntaresBottia I understand but non-gypsies use that term for any gypsy, it's become removed from its original meaning. The gypsy side of my family have been that way for decades, way before the eighties (that's the most I know now, need to get family records for their side sometime) but people will still call my family members pikeys. Thanks for teaching me the origin I never knew.
@@moonbug7252 Yes, unfortunately non-Gypsies still make reference to Gypsies. Their ignorance doesnt allow them to comprehend it. I only reference the 80s due to the influx of the new age travellers who desired our way of life. It was because of them Thatcher brought out the red tape, though can't blame others for wanting to experience freedom like we had. Thank you also, nice speaking with you.
this is how it is folks. gypsys are Asian in origin. not western European. gypsys and travellers aren't the same people. the gypsys came from the Roma, and the travellers were from Scotland and Ireland originally. the gypsy language is very similar to Indian.
I’m conflicted with video. It is beautifully done. There are a few generalisations I’m not a fan of-which is the problem with generalisations. I would like to see a more critical approach and acknowledgement of the dark sides. Not to say there aren’t dark sides to all groups, there are 100%. But hiding behind ancient culture is never a justification, especially with issues like abuse.
I would like to understand these cultures more. it's a shame there is such a solid divide between our societies. it seems some differences in values between our societies are not spoken about enough. for example, once I saw a young boy go up to a busking band in a busy pedestrian street and he took a handful of coins out of their donations guitar case and walked back towards his mother, who stood by and did nothing to prevent the boy taking the money nor to return it, mother and boy then walked away quickly while one spectator shouted for the boy to return the money and that the mother should be ashamed of herself. can the behaviour of this boy + his mother be jusitified / understood / condoned ? can travellers understand that such behaviour causes offence and resentment by settled society ?
Pear fishing was big in my indigenous highland traveller family. My uncle died in the 1970s while pearl fishing so yeah it was a pretty common practice for scottish highland travellers.

So glad I got to get involved with this project. It's been great to hear it's so well received. Well done to all.

What a lovely short film explaining the history of travelling people & their heritage (OUR HERITAGE). What a pity that #Pritipatel seems to want to exterminate them! #PCSC_2022
This is wonderful animation which could change people's perceptions of nomadic people of all derivations...thank you for sharing 👏👏👏
Great video. Using this for my class in Ireland during Covid-19.
Simply put, beautifully made...I am proud to be part of a creative peoples.
Such a beautiful gentle film

What a lovely short film! thanks you for sharing. :)
Good work - thanks. Clearly expressed, and full of information. Well done the makers.

such a moving video- thank you for creating this and raising awareness
Loved this - not a stray word, beautifully illustrated.
Beautifully done, thank you.
Really interesting, great to see the meanings behind the labels.
Gorgeous film! I had no idea about all this history, happy GRT history month!

You should of added the full repetoire of our skill sets. We are not all tree surgeons and ground worker's. Many of us are artists, entertainers, diplomats.
absolutely loved this ❤️❤️
Can I say this has made me open my eyes to the Gypsy/ Roma and travelling people's culture and origin found it interesting
Kushti,simple & clear
Very interesting

My mam dad are full roama gypsies remember my mam saying we came from India she would say we’re ever you end never forget what you come off 👍👍
Great video !!!
Yeah, we still get discriminated against until this day. I won’t stand for it. The word “pikey” really rattles me.
Why? As a born and bred traveller myself, Pikey was in reference to non-gypsies. Shows you their ignorance.
@@AntaresBottia aren't non-gypsies called gorjas? and even if pikey was used for non-gypsies, its taken on new meaning and it's now used against us.
@@moonbug7252 Gorjas, yes are non-Gypsies. A pikey is a non-traveller also but the reason they get called pikey is because they are trying to imitate traditional Romany Gypsy, they are new age travellers which I remember the term back in the 80s.

what a wonderful video! (me too)
Great stuff
loved a this 🙏🙏🙏🏽❤
Brilliant
Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey! Can we screen this at our community cinema? Will be in touch!
Cant and gammon/beurla reagaird are completely different languages.
Absolutely
Hi there, can this video be used for a training package being developed to raise awareness of GRT communities? Who can I contact about this
Yes of course - we created a training packge here www.travellerstimes.org.uk/features/gypsy-roma-traveller-history-education-pack
What music is this?
this is how it is folks. gypsys are Asian in origin. not western European. gypsys and travellers aren't the same people. the gypsys came from the Roma, and the travellers were from Scotland and Ireland originally. the gypsy language is very similar to Indian.
That's literally what the video says
I’m conflicted with video. It is beautifully done. There are a few generalisations I’m not a fan of-which is the problem with generalisations. I would like to see a more critical approach and acknowledgement of the dark sides. Not to say there aren’t dark sides to all groups, there are 100%.

The wagons were called convertible floats.
I think they're called vardas
I would like to understand these cultures more.
it's a shame there is such a solid divide between our societies.
it seems some differences in values between our societies are not spoken about enough.
for example, once I saw a young boy go up to a busking band in a busy pedestrian street
and he took a handful of coins out of their donations guitar case and walked back towards his mother,
who stood by and did nothing to prevent the boy taking the money nor to return it,
mother and boy then walked away quickly while one spectator shouted for the boy to return the money
and that the mother should be ashamed of herself.
can the behaviour of this boy + his mother be jusitified / understood / condoned ?
can travellers understand that such behaviour causes offence and resentment by settled society ?
I liked this video but I can't imagine travellers/gypsies catching snakes or pearl fishing for a living in the UK or Ireland.
They would have a hard time catching a snake in Ireland
Pear fishing was big in my indigenous highland traveller family. My uncle died in the 1970s while pearl fishing so yeah it was a pretty common practice for scottish highland travellers.
I gave up as soon as I heard 10,000 years I knew my self the rest was not worth watching.
Bible movies are the best
Bow tents are more of a Scottish thing.
Benders
@@johnburns748 yeah they're called that too
Italian sb Irish
