No Dating White Folks: Kahnawake's Iron Rule | Real Stories Full-Length Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Tracey Deer grew up on the Mohawk reserve of Kahnawake with two very firm but unspoken rules drummed into her by the collective force of the community. These rules were very simple and they carried severe repercussions: 1) Do not marry a white person, 2) Do not have a child with a white person.

I am Lauren's father. I am so proud of her. I don't think it's fair that she had to thru this process just because her father is nonnative. BTW, I'm a black american. But a person's race does not determine who they are or what type of person they are or what's in their heart...
Hurt People Hurt People. I think a lot of it stems from fear.
Respectfully some of them look white? My grandparents look way more different.
Ok... 37:00 minutes in and I just lost respect. She is willing to slap this amazing man in the face to have a "native" kid. That is the ULTIMATE selfish act on her part. She doesn't like racism... but she is being prejudice and racist herself.
I bet TH-cam wouldn’t allow a video that says “No dating black folks”. They would flag it down. Double standards huh
Theirs a lot of those videos on TH-cam actually
@@crooked52hExactly 😂
Ironically native women are murdered at an alarming rate, particularly by offenders in their own communities (ie other native people). This is true in America as well as Canada
@@Snottboogie Yeah the myth is that the Natives were just all big friends hanging out together when in reality they were constantly massacring each other way before the Europeans came.
Yeah because black people own TH-cam dont they you muppet😂😂😂
Well, i don't wanna date you.
So this is alright.
There's nothing wrong with preserving one's culture and heritage. This type of thing only really happens when one's culture is under attack. Native Americans have every right to preserve their culture and lineage.
Unless your American and/or white.
Which is under attack.
And so do white people amd theyre trying to whipe them out
Ahéhee AlbionSwede that means thank you In Navajo/Diné. Some people hate me because my ancestry and/or skin color. Some people like yourself like to let us live in peace. Hozho for you you and your family that's blessings. Walk in beauty everyone.
@7eyesopenwide168 White people from various European countries were responsible for the genocide of Native Americans that spanned TWO continents. How can you even compare the two?
Wanting to preserves one's lineage to the extent of possible inbreeding is not worth it.
Variety is the spice of life. Mixed Children are Beautiful.
Thank you to all these wonderful women who shared their souls to the world. Your baby girl is such a beauty! You all brought me to tears hearing your struggles just wanting to live your lives to the full! Your spouses are also special compassionate men, I applaud you for your values! May your relationships flourish!
Kinda related and unrelated at the same time but..
Why do a few bad apples of a certain skin color make most people all of a sudden assume anyone else with the same shade of skin is the exact same. *anyone can be racist.*
Because our brains are hard wired to do the least amount of work possible, there is a natural tendency to put things into simple categories. It's a lot of work to evaluate everything and everyone on an individual basis.
Anyone cannot be racist.
A few?
@@TaylorWilliamsnaturalisttaylor It's hilarious that people still latch on to the intersectional redefinition of 'racism' to mean 'power + prejudice'. If this what is what you meant then you know, nobody is buying that bullshit.
Generally it is a good percentage and not just a few but I get what you mean. The good ones generally end up having to pay the consequences of the bad apples -_-
THANK-YOU! ..for shining a light on this topic... heartwarming & sad, all in the same breath .. bittersweet, as so much of life can be.
Incidentally, for whatever it's worth? All of North America (Central & South America) was First Peopled by First Nations ❤🙏🏽 (Mtl, Qc)
That's racist.
My late mom father was choctaw and when he was 10 he was kicked out of the tribe for he ing green eyes.
An excellent documentary!
Racism is a concept from the devil, to divide the nations and keep us at war. When you become Born Again, we all enter God's family as sinners saved by grace.
Revelation7:9 KJV After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;”
Facts.
United we stand, Divided we fall. --- Holy spirits against the fallen angels of the Evil One.
How can Kahnawake tell people if you marry out get out when people voted NO CASINO and there’s 3 casinos on the reserve which none of the community is profiting from because it is privately owned…When Kahnawake will follow their own rules I will follow them as well.
Money is not divided to other members of the community??
@@Ilrichard007 Nop!In Kahnawake the casinos are privately owned so there’s about 8 owners that get paid.The worst part is the community voted no casinos…I know some reserves have casinos that are owned by the community so everyone get a check once or twice a year from the earnings of the casinos.Ohh yeah and I forgot to mention that one of the owner of the casino In Kahnawake (who is not native but Albanian by the way) is on the interpol list and he opened the casino to wash money for the cartels.The whole story just came out about 2 weeks ago,Lapresse did a whole report on it.That is exactly why the community didn’t want casinos because it bring a lot of trouble.
@@Ilrichard007Nop it is not. There was a few referendums to allow casinos over the years which people said no to. If people of Kahnawake would have voted yes then they would’ve open their own casinos and profits from it would’ve been distributed to the community members. The casinos that they have now are all privately owned,one of them just got busted for been affiliated with the cartels and were laundrying money. This is the exact reason why people voted no casinos because it always bring bad people into the community and problems. The first casino started as a “poker club” so it wasn’t “technically” a casino but over the years they added machine,black jack and roulette tables so it is now a fully operating casino. I’m afraid that the gouvernement will get involved eventually because their casinos are getting bigger and make more profit than the Montréal casinos. They will probably use that excuse to cut all funding going to the reserve but the problem is the casinos are PRIVATELY owned so once more the poor people are the ones that will be affected…
Terry Deer one of the best videos I have seen on TH-cam! Thank you!
I am 40 percent Blackfoot and always went by white cause that's my biggest percentage. But my great great grandma was a blackfoot princess and I respect the culture. But you shouldn't judge by skin color. I am very dark from my Indian roots and most think it's just a tan. Don't judge based on skin tone. There are good and bad people in every community.
About as true as can be .
Indians do not have princess. They do not consider themselves royalty. They did have chiefs but not kings. Lol
That nation doesn't have "princesses " lol
1:53 I gotta know where she gets her “ Green meds”😏
Excellent documentary. Thank you Tracey Deer and NFB.
Good, we don’t care
I agree!
Wow, salty...lol😅
@@OriginalGaPeach😂😂😂 smart people
@@OriginalGaPeach nope I wish all lesser races would stay away from white people.
😂 Caucasians say the same thing! That's why you don't care.
And the common denominator is....
That's OK. We're good !!!
Nothing wrong with wanting to protect your genes and culture. I know it’s racist when white people think this way but I’m not sure how wanting to pass on your way of life is racist. However doesn’t mean that mixing cultures is bad either. To each their own
Racists exist in any color.
Spot the anti-white Marxist........
@Doran Krota'n jackass
its bad when they are being diluted like natives.... whites just don't like the fact in canada natives have more kids. Why can't we have a native majority country? Guatemala will be soon....
😂😂😂😂😂❤🎉
I'm a black man love to marry a native woman. I'm NOT racists so about me I'm proud of mixed marriages. A perfect reason why I'm am rollerblader to express myself positive and standing up for our freedom.!!
@Donnell Okafor 2nd channel Thank You friend for replying to my comment 😂 ⭐
Black men are usually willing to marry the bottom of the barrel. Women who have no options seek out Black men.
I think the races need to mix and blend, only then will this race and culture wars in USA will get better.
Let's go, Laura. 😉😅
No, but seriously... Inbreeding is not good long-term.
Europe is majority white why can't usa be majority native? I won't stop fighting until our growth reaches a point where we can become the majority in the coming centuries.
I wish I listened to my parents
Ty for speaking up about this. Blood quantum makes my…well, blood boil. My dream is to work within indigenous mental health but I fear because I’m white af it wouldn’t be welcome but it’s something I’ve longed for for 18 years now!
Blonde women love blonde men and it ALWAYS WILL BE SO
That is your opinion. I am blonde and my husband is not. It all depends on your personal preference.
I’m feeling ashamed, I’m feeling ashamed that I didn’t know about any of this!? 😟😔
We are English immigrants. Blackfoot (Siksika) nation taught us winter survival, we are forever grateful. We were extremely naive.
I can understand their need to keep the bloodline 100% native and no one should pass judgment on the way their tribe runs things . Im born from mexican dad and salvadorian mom. i did a DNA test 2 years ago and i found out im 36% spaniard 16% Salvadorian and 12% Mexican . Its not easy trying to keep up with all my ancestry having to visit 2 different countries and different customs it can be exhausting and sometimes i wish i was pure breed from one ancestry and one bloodline and im actually a mixture of so much that i dont even know where i belong but i really admire these native tribes who fight hard to keep their culture and bloodline alive and thriving . Ive been to several Pow Wows and i admire their culture its beautiful to know you belong 100% ...
It’s a state of mind, almost spiritual, not a mathematical equation. Also no one is pure anything, Jesus that crap is Eugenics!!!
Nobody is 100% if people all did their DNA they will be pretty shocked to find they have different % of other countries and even race!
@DonnellOkafor2ndchannel they do. Europe is majority white while no usa stat is majority native? are you that braindead?
That hasn’t been a thing. You only need 25% to be classified by their own “nations” that’s how teepee they are lmao
There is no such thing as pure bred and as a Mexican woman I can tell you that first hand. We are not "pure bred" we are a mixed blood people with various lineages.
Good, people should be proud of their race and not dilute the purity by cross breeding with other races even if they’re superior races.
I cant believe hoe racist this is.. Genuinely shame on all involved in this. Racism has no place here anymore.
I grew up near town. Non native. I never could understand as a kid why us and the natives were not allowed to associate with eachother. It’s not only the natives who are discouraged from this, so were we. I ended up going on to have many frendships with the mohawk people.
People still see themselves separate from one another. Sad story.
No its because we were taught this by white ppl long ago my friend…your race started this 👍🏾💯…now deal
That's because they are.
they hurt themselves by turning away with native blood. The dumb percentage thing and half breed is silly. They should have been encouraging anyone with direct ancestry to know their culture.
Ironically native women are offed at an alarming rate, particularly by offenders in their own communities (ie other native people)
Isnt that how most crime occurs?
Uh... MMIW are usually victims of white people. Most commonly white men.
@@jeromec1983 Yes this is the same with all races.
How is that ironic? Obviously if murder, assault, domestic violence, etc. is occurring within a community, it's typically going to be between...people that belong to that community?
Think that @CorpMcfur meant ''ironic'' in the sense that while people are not marrying outside of their culture to continue their lineage (according to the documentary,) while some of them are killing their own. Hope that makes sense, struggling with my English this morning.
I'm a white woman and i am married to a 100% pure Navajo man. And it is true most Native Americans do not like their people marrying whites. But my husband did not care and we have been happily married for almost 20 years now and have a 15 year old daughter. My husband is a wonderful man . The love of my life.
Natives are genetically related to chinese people 😂🤣😅
@@gxhjxrgggitdrhk so what? How else did you think they migrated to that continent?
100% PURE is highly doubtful
I really feel all people are beautiful unless they are "EVIL", I do not like "EVIL" people, because they enjoy destroying people's lives and their livelihoods😭
I think it shouldn't matter what we all are ....genetically .LOVE n being compatable is the most important part.
BUT I do believe that mixed race and natives ect have beautiful and intelligent children mixed breeding is better looking. ❤
Ah yes, good old racism. Everyone does it, every color. Why? When you let the "racists" explain their stories it most of the time makes actual sense. Maybe that is a signal to all folks that if we want to move along as a society, these things need to be adressed.
Based.
Comes from the same thing every time..lots of pain and anger
I mean ... kinda too late for that. Most “natives” in the N America already have white genes/ancestors.
I think they know that already, they can get their blood quantum up, though.
Ok but try explain you want your family to be Caucasian and not mixed, then the fun begings. Then it is suddenly racism
Natives didn't mass genocide us. Do you have brain damage? Do you think Jews were eager to marry Germans post WW2 too?
This is also why whites typically hate blacks so much - They have never, ever, bent the knee. No genocide, no cultural changes - nothing.
It's also why we love some Asians, because they lighten their skin, try to play our music etc. - Except the Chinese lately, that's why they've become the enemy now. And why we're so concerned about the 'Africans' being exploited by the Chinese. 😂
And, same with the Russians. They have never adopted the concept of 'whiteness' ... they're hated for it by the West. It's like Putin said to Obama's team "See this (pointing at his skin) we may look the same, but, we do not think the same".
Crazy part is most of these people already look mixed race .
I still can't believe us, our species are so hateful given any reason especially when it comes to differences. Sometimes I wish we weren't taught race or nationality when we are children we don't know or understand and we like and love everyone. We should teach that. PERIOD
I think you're right.
Racial prejudices aren't taught, it's inherent to human nature. Let's instead learn to recognize and accept that nature
It was white supremacist that invented & enforced racism. Don’t blame humanity, when there’s a clear culprit.
Damn what happened to Natives? I haven't seen one in this video
It’s definitely watered down not 100%
@@GrabinGears My opinion as well 🤷♂️
Damn, if only we knew who was responsible for killing 90%+ of Native Americans! 🤔
I am mixed 4 different tribes and yes I'm also french ...Its awful the racism still exists on both sides of the fence ...Lets be clear alot alot of mixing happened way back in the day that people have no idea about before 2 sets of grandparents.Lets do some ancestry DNA and we will really find out .....I find issue this day and age when anyone claims to be 100 percent of anything.I am so happy these ladies went with there hearts..May they remain happy with lifes best 😢❤ Very sad that the woman who looks more white didn't get her membership even though she lived there her whole life but the young lady who features were more native was excepted
Ah - so this is the good and virtuous type of racism.
Yeah, because they’re not White.
If a White person said that, then it would be wrong.
Get it straight! 😂
so you'll even attack an culture with a few tens of thousands left? you don't see the risk of being diluted to extinction? always the white people attacking natives who want to revive their culture.
No it's not. Its just the good old fashioned kind of racism
I’m 1/4 Apache 1/4 Cherokee 1/4 Irish and 1/4 English so I’ve been bullied by everyone. It’s really ridiculous. In 2023 you’d think people would be over this racist problem by now but ignorance still exists. People are people. Why can’t everyone learn to love one another or at least try to get along with one another. We All have much bigger enemies than one another.
You think Natives can just get over white ppl trying to exterminate their whole race? On top of stealing their land? Then pushing them off to the side as if they aren’t important. Gotta bridge to sell you than.. We have Memorial Day & Veterans Day but no notable native holidays. Thanksgiving is not a native holiday but a pilgrim holiday.
Your race started this🤔 stop denying your truth ms lady
And the fact you state your all those different nationalities….i highly doubt that lol
@@Og6blvck That’s what I know of but my point is that I’m a mix of all kinds. Humans originated in Africa and then moved everywhere. We’re all people. Some kids in school think they’re just one race but Americans are all mixed up. Everyone is now. It’s ridiculous to make someone feel bad because they’re different then another person. We’re all perfectly unique. Lots of Love to you!♥️
@@Og6blvck rude. Stay in your lane, bully
We dogged a Bullet there lads 😊
🐕🦺
Bloody Dyslexia dogged 😂
Racism
protecting your culture that ruled these lands long before whites? only a white man can call this racism.
What about the people from Finland that refused the Europeans and setteled with the natives. They fished and hunted for the community. Finndians. We connected with natives. The only tribe mixed.
Finnish people have incredibly interesting genetics. The Fins have more genetic commonalities with Nigerians than even Norwegians. I'm not kidding either.
Dont the natives know that native amd blacks intermarried back in the 19th century the ex slaves left the south and mived to Canada
All those who have a racial issues with others need to take a DNA test and see how many other races they are as well. Its disgusting. Lets all embrace each other and celebrate each other! Quit with the HATE.
At 27:30, she has African features! She’s mixed with African!
Her hair and nose! I’m Native American as well. She’s definitely mixed with African.
I'm puzzled at your comment - why the surprise? She explains that her father is black...
@@Julia_Coelho_Music terrible! Our native people shouldn’t be mixing with them! 🤮
I knew someone who had a really big family and they were indigenous. Their mom would tell them to date white people because they didn't know if they'd end up with their cousin 😂
Realistic concern actually. In the middle east, there is a LOT of inbreeding because of small population - especially in the Jewish population. The inbreeding is ... very, very high.
Most adhere to this for cultural preservation. Some tribes were decimated almost to extinction. So it's best they marry and have children with their own kind. Every culture does it.
Good video clip... Makes you realize that people of whatever stripe are still ignorant and stupid.... Everyone has a right to protest their own cause for their race and nation.... Really sad that people can't live together 😢
P.s. At the end of the day Kahnawake is the same as the wirkd at large, yet tge bigger picture, doesn't recignize their oroblem is unique. The broader picture fir most is an independent struggle and much more selfish, as we are not united in ir fear and pain. The people of Kahnawake must sroo thinking they are unique, our pain us collective, no one us singled out fir pain, and no one gets out if here alive...Pure bloodline is just a myth, we are somehow related, yet being a relative, does not necessarily make you family. Race is nithing more than a social construct to divide and rule...V
Laws like this divide us instead of bringing us together. 😢
Like I told all my children as they were growing up it does not matter who you are or what you look like, unfortunately every child is made fun of so never take it personally!!!
Sadly they’re truly not all made fun of. That isn’t reassuring though I know you mean well. But it isn’t fact. Especially for our minority groups and it’s disgusting.
My heritage and I'm not really accepted by anyone in my community cause I wasn't born there and family went through a few generations of colonialism. It's really hard being a native who lost their right to be part of their community cause where you were born a parent going down a different path for relationships.
The only one I felt accepted me I met in university went through the Oka Crisis. Her sister was stabbed in the terrorism caused by the government. She was the one amazing person I met.
This definitely isn't my fault or my heritage. Colonialism has harmed us time and time again and I sympathesize with my community for the trauma my people have gone through. It is my desire to help my communities one day even if I never am accepted.
Is this still happening? Coz this is so weird to me. I understand wanting to keep cultural and racial ties to your community but this sense of racial purity and basically excommunicating people for marrying outside of the reserve is so sad. I thought the way we treated our Indigenous people in Australia was bad but this is just showing that in other places, Indigenous people kinda treat each other with just as much racism as the outside community does.
I really hope that some positive changes can be made for this community and any others that are similar. ❤
I know what it means❤ My father taught me. It's about our community taking care of each other. Strength in unity with love and acceptance.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
XD her lost
Loss not lost 😭😭
Sometimes socially marginalized and rejected people feel the need to do the same to others. I find that fellow black Americans are often the most judgmental people I have encountered on the planet. I do understand that comes from personal pain, but it still is not right.
Yes! I am not oblivious to their tribulations, but based on personal experience, I agree. I'm a white woman raised by a white woman. My mom was raised by a racist white man. My mom taught me to stand up to racists and protect people, especially black people. Not everyone I meet knows this nor does it really matter anyway. But a few years ago, I worked at an eye doctor who was also white and adopted a brother and sister whom were black. It was a close knit family business and the son and daughter worked there too! A ton of entitled patients would come in, and state that because I couldn't provide discounts that I was racist. One time a patient was blacklisted for how she treated patients. When I told her that the physician advised he couldn't treat her, she said I was racist. EVEN THOUGH THE DOCTOR WAS MARRIED TO A MIXED WOMAN WITH TWO BLACK CHILDREN, THAT HE CHOSE TO LOVE AND SUPPORT (THEY ARENT HIS WIFES BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN EITHER). I had to tell the doctor, sadly that I was quitting because I experienced so much racism from people saying I WAS racist. It was a tough decision. I've had alot of judgmental experiences, I try not to let it get me in a frenzy. I know it's nothing like what fellow Black Americans experience.
@@kateykurzawa5419 Like blacks are not racist. Theres plenty hate crimes against us. I bet you are one of those who kneels and is sorry over nothing. Blacks are killed mostly by other blacks
@@kateykurzawa5419 If you're a victim of racism, you're primed to see racism everywhere. It's like PTSD. You seem like a compassionate person. I hope you don't take their reactions personally.
its wrong to preserve your culture even if its nearly extinct? not surprising coming from the ancestor of a colonist.
@@doubled57690 I don't know who you ment but I am from Finland and we were colonised by Sweden and Russia for hundreds of years and we were their farm slaves and forced soldiers. Russians killed 1/3 of my people at one point but hey no hard feelings 😂 Truly, I got no hard feelings. Then Soviets murdered my Grandma's tribe, the Karelians, plus other Finnic tribes as Stalin hated us so much, some ended up in Siberia, hundreds of thousands fled, my Grandma being one of them. She lost her village, house, eventually even her language.. Still no hard feelings, why be victim.. Own your situation.. I am learning Karelian language now and we have customs and rich food culture from Karelians.
Omg what a beautiful love stories,😢why love have to be hard to find to get,we deaerve ir,anyone regarding race,blood color!!😢 i am mexican,married a colombian but i would have married anybody aa long i am in love❤😂 I live in NY and met Mohawk people and they treated as a NORMAL,NO RACISM ❤
How many of these couples will still be together 5 years from now?
Just humans being humans. We're all just a bunch of trible A holes.
It's very scary and sad like Lovings vs Virginia.😢
When cyborgs take over, we shall realise how petty and foolish we were focusing on division over unity.
Ohhh really? NOBODY CARES!
Karahkwinontie?
Great video that shines a light on racism and ignorance. My parents emigrated to Montreal in the 50s. They came from Greece. I have always been curious about the natives that live here and have always wanted to get to know them.
5 yrs ago, I did a DNA test, which I later uploaded onto a website that gives you your ancient DNA. I have Siberian and Amerindian DNA. What?? How?? Huh?? Turns out pre Columbian settlers are believed to come from Siberia through the Bering land bridge some 12 to 30 thousand years ago. Your Siberian ancestors crossed the land bridge and mine made their way to Europe. So ya...pretty cool. Keep on rocking it you guys. I'm sorry for all you have suffered. Much love and respect. xx
The gender bias is mind blowing. These people are reinacting some of the worst aspects of colonisation. A blood Quantium, ffs.
I live in Aotearoa, all Maori people are both indigenous & have European blood too. It’s accepted, legally , culturally. We have issues here, but Canada is in the Stone Age by comparison, in terms of decolonisation, environmental issues. This kind of attitude is planning their own demise as a people. Really sad!!!
The young people may change this, as the man with the glasses says this is based on the “ Indian Act”, used by Apartheid South Africa, the weird irony. The blood quantum was never considered in Aotearoa, being Maori is about language, culture & connection to the motu(land) & whakapapa . This is really sad, & applying it only to the women ought be illegal, anywhere, anyhow, aytime. That would so not fly with wahine(Maori women) in Aotearoa. SAD
Tautoko. I found this so sad
5 Dollar Indians my family was never on a Reservation my grandfather caught a train to Detroit to be employed in the auto industry
My grandmothers dad is a mow hawk the relatives live in Canada I’ve never met anyone but seen pictures my grandmother sadly past away after she went to visit our ancestors she absolutely loved meeting them all really gutted me and my brothers never got the chance to meet everyone mow hawk watchala tribe was the family name
Asian, Black, White, and Red only be with your kind. OR marry whoever you want and I'll still support you. Sincerely an unconcerned Navajo/Diné hastiin.
If you only marry your own kind, you'll be inbred. That's not good, genetically .. at all.
I'm Irish, but I'm also Lakota Sioux. Not my fault. I didn't ask to be born that way. So its wayyy to late to hate no matter what.
I never understand why a lot of people say they are two different nationalities at once. It's confusing. a person's father who carries the seed of the child's nationality is what makes us who we are. We may get characteristics from our mothers but not our nationality. We're either one or the other.
@stephensautumn24 Serious? So the color of my skin matters, and nationality? What about our character? I'm sorry that's your beliefs because that is what is dividing our country so much, and always has. Ignorance, hatred, and confusion. If I bleed red, and you bleed red, what's the difference. In the end, it doesn't matter what anyone is. Love, patience, kindness, forgiveness, and mutual respect are the only things that will set us free from that thought process. It is liberating to the mind and soul to not care. None of it matters.
@@92drybones92 What if my paternal line ancestor is from one culture but their sons have married women from another culture for generations? If my grandpa’s grandpa’s grandpa down the male line was Japanese, does that make me Japanese if all of my other ancestors are Irish?

Usually tribes only allow enrollment in one tribe only so it really depends on your own tribe's requirements too.
@@michelleg7 Just a guess. Do you live in the US?
Interesting how people never talk about how the Native tribes were killing each other before the Europeans came. I love how history is adjusted to be politically correct.
@fab Nobody denies that, lets just stop acting like they were all holding hands singing songs together. They were at constant war with each other.
@@kimchi2780perfectly stated ♡
Why do ppl do this? Sure you were nearly wiped out and then forced to assimilate but so what y’all were fighting as well. No one would ever say sure ppl died during 9/11 but Americans kill each other every day.
@@kimchi2780 Agreed. And how are they "native" if they migrated across the Bering Strait?
@@kimchi2780 Yes. When compared to what the settlers did to them (eradicating 90% of the Indian population in a couple hundred years), they lived peacefully. Their population was stable and for that matter, happier than most people are today.
I see folks didn't watch the doc and only judged it by the title.
My husband shares my culture and beliefs. It was expected of both families that we marry within our people. I didn’t question it. It never occurred to either of us to marry someone who wasn’t human.
My parents said only white men. I’m Mexican.
What would happen say you married a dark Indian guy?

My moms wyt and Dad Native. Grew up in foster homes.. remember my perspective adoptive parents telling their friends that i was Italian ect. My Auntie contacted them before my Dad died from a diabetic coma, trying to get me back and then to go to his funeral but they didn't tell me till 6 months later and he was buried. Lots of lost time.
That's terrible....
I love my Natives
Wtf 😂 but there white
I'm from Quebec and it's sad .
Also known as the Kardashian Rule.
Okay. And I tell my kids the same in reverse.
Oh, don’t you dare😮 It’s racist if a White person decided not to date outside their race
🙄
In college a group of us were invited to visit a reservation. It was very beautiful and very sad. I am a black American by the way. I say this to say what I saw is beyond speaking. They still grasp their culture and fought to keep their language history religion alive. We went to a powwow and. Really humble me. I admire this people and it's sad about their history in this country
Can’t speak their own “languages” after all this time from grandma cuz they were boozin but oh okay 😂
Why do you think they were 'boozing' where did the booze come from? Alcohol was unknown to them before we started the genocide.
I mean this same thing was said about the Chinese and opium, you laced them with it. The Chinese remember what you did.
I see nothing wrong here considering what happened go their people, land, and culture in the past and present.
Makes sense to me
😂 I’m white and I don’t even date white. Everyone is entitled to date who they want. I grew up in a very hateful family and I always thought it was disgusting. So this makes sense to me as well. Good for them.
@@NursingAround damn 😭

@@NursingAround well maybe I want to see natives make a comeback.... pre columbian new world. Africa is majority black why can't the new world be???? Europe is majority white why can't use be majority native? JUST A QUESTION HERE?
@@NursingAroundI’m not like the other Becky’s - 👧🏼
Proud Native Americans, this is beautiful...It is ur God given right to protect and preserve ur heritage.
Interesting, because if a white person said that they would automatically be labelled racist and lambasted.
