A Native American once said, "I didn't born in America, America was born in our lands
Amen. Well said.
A'ho
Indeed, my friend!
America was named after Americo Vespucci a merchant in 1504, the name America was permanently affixed to the newly discovered continents, not chistobal Colon
amen
The Irish never forgot the kindness of the Choctaw people during the famine. To be going through such hardship themselves and to think of others in a far off country........such selflessness and compassion.
I'm part Irish through my paternal grandmother, who's family from Ireland came over as a result of the potato famine. She was the first to tell me about all of that and she and I have been involved with Native American charities as well.
@@CoachIreland mexico never forgot the Irish. The Irish stood beside mix breeds called Mexicans and native american Pueblo indian. They help fight the u.s. calvary to protect women and children and stop the massacres and theft of land. Mexico wasnt allowed to send Ireland money so they send them grains and other foods. In Mexico the irish are honored during Saint Patrick's Day. San Patricio Battalia. The native americans honored them by giving them a native tribe name, Los Chapulinas. The Grass hopper ppl. They were the only Europeans considered native americans. Children of the Land(America). No other european is considered native ppl who belong in america.
@@Castlecoke I would ultimately be guilty by association in that my Irish ancestors were the first to come over as a result of the famine. The rest of my family came over just before and after the turn of the century so they ultimately had no part in, say, the Trail of Tears or the Native American wars or anything related to the oppression or genocide of the native peoples.
I’m proud to be Irish
My family is technically irish but we live in america my relatives still make a big deal out of it for whatever reason
As an indigenous individual of New Zealand my love goes out to all the ‘original’ inhibitors of lands across the globe. May our spirit, storytelling and cultures persevere and be embraced. 💖
Im indigenous North American Oji-Cree, i feel a connection to the New Zealand peoples like our very own people
Red XIII As do I to our Native American brothers and sisters. 💖 Arohanui 💕💕
@@redxiii3159 I'm pretty sure we r real cousins with the Natives of New Zealand! I feel them too!
@@redxiii3159 that's right, they share ançient customs, they are our cousins! I also feel them.
Love and respect from an Indigenous North African (Amazigh). ⴰⵣⴰⵍ
They have been abused, robed, killed, assassinated,lied everything BUT Slaved, they are very brave, free spirit,proud, humbled, welcoming, helper, sharing and honored people who preferred to die fighting . My deepest admiration for them. God keep blessing them.
actually they were enslaved a lot but they endured anyway
Now all people of honor and selflessness will be exterminated.
Protect your families ,and bond with honorable men of all races.
Truth and strength to you .
@@alforliniteaching5670 So true. Victor Frankl survived Auschwitz. He said that there are only two races of people: decent people and indecent people. And the line between the two runs through all races.
@@lostbusproductions8459 nope.
We were literally the first slaves. Just because our African brothers and sisters are more vocal does not mean we didn’t go through it.
No disease nor enslavement will ever wipe out these beautiful cultures. May they live on for generations to come.
@Jesse Delorme Of course the damage was considerable and justice still needs to be done for many tribes across the world.
Native Americans are so cool.
@Serenity Gems Seraphim Yes, indeed! I love our Native Americans. Finest people I have or will ever meet.
Thank you
xXAmightzXx facts
Thank you all beautiful spirits 😁💞💫✌✊
That's just a pow wow
As of 1997 my tribe went extinct. I know nothing other that they were the lencas. That should give you more of a reason to keep your tradition alive.
I'm sorry 😞 that happened to you, stay connected, have children and revitalize our high culture in them....
sorry to reply to something from a year ago, but i have to ask a probably dumb question. if its your tribe its not extinct right if your alive? Or did you mean its culture is extinct?
We Taino were told we were extinct too, close to 500 years ago. Recent DNA and archaeologists cultural continuation evidence show otherwise. From the Caribbean to Florida we Taino are still here. Keep looking for members of your tribe and join others brother, we are never truly extinct. Many tribes, one Nation!
i am about to cry reading this. what our "country" did to the indigenous people was disgusting and inhumane. this land belongs to you, and i will be forever sorry that we took it from you.
Are you central.american?
I am Armenian who is privileged to LIVE on Native American lands ! Every time I go to a Powwow & hear the drums , I feel a sense of kinship & get energized ! I have much respect for your culture & history ! I think the Native American History SHOULD be taught at ALL USA schools !! The REAL Americans !!
Pls say it right it's natives Indians are from India
@melainegg6134 some Indians prefer to be called Indian. Cgp grey has a video on it
@@TheLalalalani They have the RIGHT to be called whatever they want. I call them Native American Tribes out of respect.
As a native , I love this.

+C/S purely half hahah. My mom is of Italian descent, my father is the native, I look more like him tho.

+OnceUponATimeThereWasAPersonWithALongUsername.TheElongationOfThatUsernameWasPlainlyLegendary I bet you're very attractive & that's really coooollll!! Power to the ppl:)
Hokte Petete, As a non-native I love this. Mesmerizing.☺✌
This video makes my heart soar with so much pride. 😊 As an Indigenous woman, I'm proud to have Native blood running thru my veins. To all my Native brothers & sisters from Canada all the way down to South America we are still here...strong, resilient & fierce on Mother Earth. Wakan Tanka (Great Spirit) bless and heal us all. 💓🌎🙏🌻
Why do I cry when I see and hear the music and culture, since I was a young boy I’ve always admired the great American Indian, And respect they’re heritage, we “ America “ needs this spirit of the native to love and respect each other
Not Indian... Natives or aboriginal people
@@nita1stunna1 no, Native ppl or first generation. We prefer that over aboriginal.
Stuff like this makes my heart beat. Makes me want to ride and be a warrior. Reminds me of my native ancestors as a Mexican. My mom and grandmother went to boarding schools in Mexico. Makes me proud to be brown and where my skin color came from.
You are beautiful
My aksótha spent some of her formative years in a school…I thank Creator for my lake’níha not having to be in those schools!
It’s weird how Mexico was so heavy assimilated compared to the US. At least in Durango where my family is from, I struggle finding information for that region tbh
I’m not a Native but I would LOVE to attend a Pow Wow. I believe every American should be required to even KNOW what this is. You’re not allowed to be in America and be ignorant to this.
Yesss
Everyone is welcome at PowWow as long as your respectful 🥰
That's your opinion
I’ve been to many in my state of Arkansas as I kid and they’re amazing
Your not native but you believe people should be required to k ow about certain ceremonies. What a joke
I’m a indigenous to Mexico. I like to watch these just cause unlike my culture your culture is still alive. Please don’t let it die, no matter what ANYONE says don’t let it die❤️
If you have never experienced a Pow Wow..go to one. It is amazing.
DDRPriest I love going to them!
I went to one a few years ago when I was in I think 6th grade and it was amazing!! They were so awesome and kind!! I also figured out I have some native American heritage aswell. I have Choctaw heritage somewhere in my DNA and I did a DNA test a few days ago so I should be seeing what other heritages I am made up of in a few weeks!!
DDRPriest are their rules on who’s aloud to go there
Omg u have to go to a powwow it's amazing
Why does it make me emotional..I get goose bumps and tear up!! I'm Cherokee and Choctaw!! I guess that would explain it...lol
I love the Native American culture. If I had been born as one I would be so proud. There is something very special about it :)
Same!! Beautiful culture
Me too.
That’s a beautiful thing about Native American culture…we don’t discriminate against ANYONE learning Native American’s culture, as long as you stay respectful. No, you will never be Native, but to have an authentic understanding of our practices/traditions, means you are more an ally than those NA (even) that try to gate-keep our culture! Natives are some of the nicest and humble peoples you will ever meet. How could you not want to be a part of that?!?? Best wishes…I pray Creator guides you towards what your seeking. 💜
@@cassandraglosson9352 I love the beautiful Native American culture. If only the earlier European immigrants were more respectful to the indigenous peoples of the world. I’m also thinking of Aborigines and Maori as well. I would love to go to a Pow Wow. Yes we should all be respectful to each other. I also love watching the different African dances as well.
@@cassandraglosson9352that is straight us bs. I don't know where you live but I'm from a small town in ontario canada and I married a native woman and have kids together and i have never received so much racism in my whole life from native people. What I've learned is that it has nothing to do with me. It's their suffering and bitterness. They do exactly what they complain about. In my opinion, the first nations around where I'm from are totally lost. They require aid from the military all the time because the youth are committing suicide daily. They need so much resources just to barely get by. They have so much status and entitlement it hurts them and makes them sick. It's terrible.
real americans.great culture..great people. one day you will overcome.
🇦🇩. 💟. 🔥👍. 👋
ROMÂNIA
Thank you buddy ❤🦅❤❤🦅❤
I’m very proud to be a Navajo and a Native American
TURTLE ISLAND BROTHERS AND SISTERS YOU'RE CULTURE IS BEAUTIFUL!...... much love and respect from IGOROT NATION of the Philippines
Me too, respect from the Ilokanos and the Tagalogs
I want to see this!!
Coming from a Mexican lol... all random but I feel this is so empowering as I carry other tribes of Native American tribes ( Aztec and Maya and other southern ones) but I can imagine that these tribes were also distant relatives of the ones of my ancestors.
(: Long live the Native Americans of North America as well!!
They ain't distant! All Southwest tribes were Mexican!! We have a lot in common and core beliefs!!
That was my 2nd time dancing there at that powwow. Was a lot of fun, awesome to meet and catch up with a lot of friends and powwow family! This video is pretty cool!
These are the TRUE Americans of this nation, not the Caucasians that yell out go back to your own country. Respect the land that was forcefully taken by these beautiful people and where we are not worthy to even call it our own. Long live the Native Americans!
Hijab Hound Thank You Brother?For Your Kind Comments About My People Here Nda 🇺🇸"States"🇺🇸 "God Bless You"...👍👍
Jeff B. Hey! Buddy..Canada kept the Treaties made with Indigenous people of Canada and still upholds today since 1771. Yet Americans brags about having Honour and pride...now tell me again how many Treaties America Honoured Since 1771?!? Do tell, I’ll wait....
not accurate. at the time the mayflower landed this place was not america. there was peace for 50 years as the early settlers came from england. it was not known as america at that time. it was the english colonies.
Return our LAND!!!
I went to my first pow wow when I was 11. I knew I was a part native American but never took the time to actually look into my culture before going to my first pow wow. It felt so amazing. As if I belonged there. I wanted to start dancing with them even though I didn't know how to dance.
Im a Latina🇲🇽 from Oregon and ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MUSIC, it makes me incredibly emotional. Whenever I hear it, I get CHILLS. I would want to experience a powwow at least once in my lifetime, I truly admire Native Americans, the real Americans❤️❤️
You did say you're latina. Most that I know are mixed with indigenous blood. You could even be mixed with a North American tribe. So you may belong more at a powwow than you thought.
I love latinas.
I happened upon these videos, & I watch them for hours. Such a beautiful culture, that doesn't get appreciated or recognized like it should.
the ending scene with all the names of all the nations gave me chills! I had no idea that so many cities and states are named after the tribes.
That was a short list. About 600 acknowledged tribes in just the Usa but Canada, Mexico also have hundreds
@Sinkpehna RossFire What about California? Arizona? Nevada? Texas? Washington? Oregon?
@Sinkpehna RossFire New Hampshire Vermont are not
Whoever all put this event together.... incredibly powerful
In tears watching this, chills hearing the singing and the drumbeat. There's something so raw and powerful about native American culture, absolutely breathtakingly beautiful 💕
Native Proud I get goose bumps everytime I hear the drums and chants A'HO
Watching the dancers brings tears to my eyes, always has. I feel the drums I am drawn to the voices.
I like 😊it when people acknowledging good things and deeds
I am native Scottish I have always associated with native Americans as I believe we were so alike and think my soul was native American as soon as I hear the drums it's gets you're plums pumping
My family originates from the Miskito tribe of Nicaragua, sending my love and admiration to the native tribes of Northern America ♥️
I am from Cherokee Eastern Band, but we too had to avoid the reservation growing up; and my grandfather taught me how to hide in the woods in case the government people came. We missed our whole heritage except getting close to nature. Those skills I did learn.
Us too!!!
We are lucky to be able to see this at all considering the history. You get a hearty "Skaal" from this norseman
I'm in love with the culture. the music, the drums, the singers, the dancers, the regalia, the meaning and spirituality, the beautiful faces...Greetings and solidarity from the southernmost part of our American continent where our Indigenous people are also in the struggle for survival. ✊✊
I have a Sioux friend ,he introduced me to his cultures and roots,this is so beautiful and colorful, I'd love to dance to the beats of the drums,I love native Americans,much love from Philippines 😊💕
The saddest book I have read is: Bury my heart at wounded knee. It sickens me to the core of my being what the Europeans did to the native people's. They destroyed their way of life. But they did not quench their spirit.
Before Europeans went to America, the native people lived of the land, had a more harmonious way of life....living the dream. I feel this is how we should all be living now.
But now life feels so plastic and fake.
Then you should live that way. Think of yourself as an immigrant and adopt the lifeways of your new country.
But there is a lot more to it than powwow.
Helen Kistler yes true. It depends on the history and where the people lived. It wasn't the same everywhere during every time.
@04#?20tivo !?32#? Also different homes exist in native cultures. Not just tipis.
@04#?20tivo !?32#? This argument is kinda flawed because if you Euros didn't come here, we wouldn't have a need to be reliant on those techologies than we do now since they pretty much took most of it for their own gain.
Aww so sad 😭
I truly do love this video. I am learning more about my native american heritage as I am Cherokee. I believe in my people and all nations. We are a beautiful and strong people and very proud to be as one!

Vern DeLaronde we rise together we fight together!
+Lee Francis okay and????????
@@continentalx "Lee Francis" isn't exactly a Russian name
@@ishaboy5090 It's a fake name.
Vern DeLaronde lets be honest, from the looks of it, since Canada still upholds and kept the Treaties made with Natives since 1771 and Americans broke theirs, Natives of America choose the wrong side back in 1812...when First Americans broke away from the Crown should of been a first sign that Americans can’t be trusted...
I wasn't taught from a young age how to dance or what tribe I was from or what my native heritage was. I found out only about three years ago that I was Aztec Yaqui. My grandmother then taught me how to dance and I have took place in about seven different Pow Wows so far and the amount of energy and openiness is amazing. The colors are beautiful and the people are amazing. I was welcomed in with open arms and nows my first year as a fancy shawl dancer. Anybody who is of native heritage should get to experience. I may not look like a native american because my skin to light and my eyes are not dark enough but my DNA has more native than I thought. Found out I was almost 57% Native American.
-Thanks for taking time to read this....
Peace love and respect my Aztec sister ✌✊😊 Oji-Cree here 😁💞💫
That's awesome. I didn't find out until after my military service and my DNA test. Then the internet happened and showed all of the culture that was still alive, not just with my great grandma. You are born native if you have the DNA (ancestry) as your ancestors are always with you, its in your lineage. Your culture is native once you learn it, and you can learn things at any age.
That would have been an awesome gathering to attend! :)
+arcticablue Gathering of Nations Powwow is Every April
arcticablue
I love to go an see it again. ...love the event....culture dance etc..
im also native myself. ..
( dineh )
I used to go to a Powwow every year but not like this... I went to ones in the fields. So amazing and I miss them! I gotta go again next year.
They have a lot of pow wows during the fall time. This one is The Gatherings Of Nations(the biggest one. GON). But smaller ones go on everywhere i think, ive only been to the ones on the west coast. I perform and compete. Been dancing since i learned how to walk!✊🏽
Every single time I encounter the Native America ritual, which is very rare for me, I feel a sense of spiritualness. I am not of the Native America culture, but wished I were. And to hear that drum beat and watch them dance, I just want to join in and learn it right there on the spot. It stirs me deeply.
I like it when people acknowledging good things and deeds
Hi there....how are you doing? Hope you’re fine and staying safe??
It's about time something this great was publicized
They have such a beautiful culture, it's nice to see that they can now embrace it and make it into something "cool".
Yeah you're right handsome... Well I'm kitty by name, I was just going through the comments and I come across yours... Do you care for chat if you don't mind ?
So proud to be Diné ❤️ My great grandma told me so many stories passed down from generations. If my great great (idk how many greats I have to go back) grandma almost drowned in this stream during the long walk. If she had died I wouldn’t be here to this day or I could have been born a total different person. ❤️
Que Bonito mis hermanitas y hermanitos saludos desde Bolivia purenacional
I am of African descent but I also have Cherokee and Samoan Indian and I love to see any native Americans dance I love to see the powwows I used to participate in them when I lived in Colorado what a blessing to see them keep their native clothing and keep their native heritage alive it's Beautiful
Hi there....how are you doing? Hope you’re fine and staying safe??
I'm a Lakota and I love this video
I am blown away watching this. awesome! can feel the dynamic power of the powwow..
i started tearing.
Am so proud they are still around...❤
Indian Nation Will Rise Again!!
Not them 5 dollars native American you talking about, we are the trues Moors Indians look up our history.say no more
Rietta Carson No but The colonizers addressed them as Western Indians, in lue of their physical similarities to African-Indians
As a person from the actual Indian subcontinent, the sheer degree of misidentification in this thread gave ma a headache
Could you change Indian to aboriginal or First Nations or indigenious please, indian is very offensive to my culture
never
HOW DARE, TO THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW OUR CULTURE. NO THUMBS DOWN. JUST RESPECT

Apache and Yaqui, an Aztec tribe.
Is it possible for me to contribute subtitles to this in Korean? I'm teaching my Korean students about Native Americans in lieu of Thanksgiving.
Enjoying the different 'movies' being shown of our Native Indians of the US of A who are doing a beautiful job of 'remembering ' and 'continuing' their heritage. Bravo!!!!!
I LOVE every single aspect about Natives every custom every bit by the drums every song every move they dancers made OMG I hope one day I enjoy one of this magnificent shows named Pow Wow
I'm Palestinian and I feel for the indeginous Native Americans. What an amazing and beautiful culture 😢❤️
Sending all my love to the indigenous people of Palestine, Insha Allah, Palestine will be free soon and you can all return to your native land. 💖🇵🇸
the movement is something else they really look light on their feet
Hi there....how are you doing? Hope you’re fine and staying safe??
Each drum beat and song is the heart beat and winds of the land.
El sonido de sus tambores me llenan de nostalgia y alegría de su pueblo.,nunca dejen sus tradiciones y raíces es simbólo de su GRANDEZA e HISTORIA !!! ❤❤❤
We will never forget. Taino tribe present.
Yes! Taino here too.
Sure buddy.
I love this video but at the end where they were listing different tribes they forgot a bunch here in Alaska. they forgot tlingit, hida, tsimian, chupik, yupik, and my tribe athabascan, and many others.
is it true that many native tribes in the far north dont want to be attributed to the other native american tribes? i remember hearing this from somewhere...
Yes we don't get the credit we deserve.
Haida was up there. so that includes some of the Alaskan tribes. its also a Canadian one :)
but they still missed my tribe!!!
+AlaskanChicka907 I think its just the bands/tribes that participated at the event
My great grandmother was apache and Cherokee. She never signed papers proving she was native as in our state she would have been exiled. Even before I knew I was part native I heard the drum as a calling and I have been trying to connect with what little culture I have left.
So enjoyable, takes one 'back in time' , performance's excellent.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!
Proud to be native!👍❤
Absolutely beautiful the spirit and connection of family and love are alive and shall never die as long as dance and music of the Natives and Pow Wow are alive it will haunt the soul and own this land they call America.
So wonderful to watch and the children doing such an amazing job
Very beautiful pow wows blessed and enjoying these dances Thank for sharing this moment
Hi there? Hope you're good & staying safe?
So well done and performed, I'm enjoying!!!!

Gave me the chills..
Those drums and dances are so powerful! I've been blessed to go to my first pow wow this summer, and then a second one, and then a third one! I had the chance to dance and drum it was truly amazing!! Bless you all my friends :)

Great Film. The Spirit of Real Americans never dies. it is very lively to see their culture and people. the nature and beautiful heritage they have create will continue to make the great atmosphere!
My heart is American Native.Let our heart's

journey.We must make the new world ours,
and continue our traditional ways.
Awesome.

Hi there? Hope you're good & staying safe??
I remember going to a powwow when I was a little kid because some local native Americans went to the dentist office where my mom works and one of them invited me and her, I was about 7 years old. I remember everyone was so nice and they painted my face and gave me my own little feather band. One of them invited me to dance with them but I was extremely shy. I remember that now as an adult and it makes me appreciate everything they do and what their culture had been through.
I do hope they'll never ever lose their culture and traditions!!! I love them so much ❤
You can say "For Shame" And "How terrible" But words only get you so far. Want to help them? Be an ambassador. Carry their legacy as a respectful observer. Don't make excuses for them, don't make excuses for yourself. Stand as a respectful member of a conversation and speak what you know, and ask for knowledge.
Gathering Of Nations!!!
It's great that we can all around the world see and learn about the wonderful culture of the Native Americans now. Thank you ❤❤❤🇵🇱
Beautiful cultural performance, unity & recognition!All cultures deserve recognition and to live in Peace.
