I'm a Native of Ireland. I have nothing but respect and admiration for a Native Americans. Especially the Choctaw, Navajo and Cherokee. These Tribes donated massive sums of money to Clans in Ireland during The Famine and we will be forever greatful. We are also willing to help the Native Americans in any way we can
I've always especially liked the one that starts with "her eyes are blue" because it doesn't put down either eye color. Both were described kindly, poetically. I've been trying to look for this one for a while as it was the very first Native/Indigenous Tik Tok I ever saw that encouraged me to _really_ listen more than before.
Same here. I have white skin but my face, eyes, and jawline are indigenous due to my mother's blood. I used to think I looked weird but now I embrace the fact that I look like my great grandma, rest in peace.
I always used to be so insecure and embarrassed about the shape of my nose and face my entire life none of my family bothered to tell me I'm part native I have recently been learning about indigenous people and I have so much respect for them and have never been prouder of my nose and face
It's just so powerful when you see these videos! I'm not part of the indigenous community so I couldn't understand the issues a lot in detail but the immense pain and power and terror I feel when watching these videos makes me feel alive and want to fight for something worth fighting for.
I am not apart of an indigenous community but I admire them so much! Their culture is awesome to study about and i live near the smoky mountains. That is a place where the Cherokee lived and I live studying the land they had there!
I'm super mixed. black, white, and native American on dad's side. and Spanish, polish, and indigenous Mexican. apparently I was the only one of my brothers that looks somewhat native when I braid my hair.
What'up fellow Colonised countries, I am a native from South Africa (Xhosa) and love watching these. LOVE FROM SA and wish for the missing native women to be found ALIVE.
im native i dance old style jingle and sometimes i feel like an outsider at my school bc there are not many native people at my school so i am often mocked and shamed for my culture but watching these videos makes me feel peaceful and empowered 🩷🩷🩷
I'm mixed, dad's native and mom's white, and because of where we live (an upscale, "better" neighborhood in a peaceful part of the northeast US), we haven't really been able to connect with our culture because there simply aren't any of us around where I'm about. These compilations, along with visits up north to where my family comes from (we are Wabanaki, also known as Penobscot), have really helped me feel more in touch with my heritage as well as let me know about the various issues scattered about that I otherwise wouldn't have known about due to the somewhat colonized education system (though, I'll admit, I've been lucky in having some history teachers who worked to teach me and my fellow students what actually happened as opposed to the colonized tale). I'd just like to thank these content creators, both in this compilation and in others like it, for putting this content out there so people like me can learn more about their culture and heritage as well as just generally intake content made by fellow Indigenous people. Peace and love
I’m not Native American necessarily however my mother is Mestizo and my Pipil ancestry has meant a lot to me recently. To all the native people out there: you guys are so resilient. such an inspiration, and I’m honored to hear your stories
I’m not indigenous but I’m Australian, born and raised, and it shocks me how little people celebrate their indigenous cultures compared to Australia. Speeches at school assemblies will always start with an acknowledgment of country, even if it’s just a few words. In primary school when I was younger we had choral festivals where we would sing the national anthem in a traditional aboriginal tongue. I know that some people are celebrating their culture on TikTok but it honestly surprises me how little it’s incorporated in everyday life, especially while knowing our colonists were just as bad with killing the indigenous and taking them away from their families.
Natives MASSACRED not only europeans but also other natives. Commanches were widely known for their warlike nature and torture of almost anyone they captured. Natives killed men, women, and children, regardless if they were a direct threat or not. Natives were not/are not innocent. They are people, just like everyone else. They are just as capable of injustice and violence as any other group of people on this planet.
My great Nani used to braid my hair and sing me a song when she did when I was 4 before she past. Put feathers of an eagle in my whole ears...sewed beads in my head and gave me a dress...but we hided it just to fit in to her husband's family... we was forced into a treaty that was never and my tribe no longer reside at there land but my daughter and son still reigns
as a european living in the u.s. i hate how people make jokes about the genocide of native americans or dont think it’s a big deal. i stand with all native and indigenous peoples everywhere ❤
I'm cherokee, my ancestors were on the trail of tears. It's hard seeing pictures of my ancestors that were on the trail because I know how they passed away. In loving memory❤️🫂
13:29 That's such a cool story! I remember I found a local story while doing research for a "names in your hometown" history paper about the origin of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, and Mt Adams. (There's more to the story in the beginning too, if you want to look it up!) Basically, two sons of the Great Spirit Sahale, Wy'east and Klickitat (or Pahto) both fell in love with a beautiful woman, Loowit (or Loowitlatkla). She couldn't choose between them, so the two brothers fought, destroying numerous villages and forests in the process. In his anger, Sahale smote them, but he still loved them, and raised up a mountain in memorial where each one fell. In Loowit's place was Mt St. Helens, with a perfectly symmetrical cone beautifully wrapped in snow (that is, before it blew its top in 1980). In Klickitat's place was Mt. Adams, bent low as he mourns seeing beautiful Loowit wrapped in snow. And in Wy'east's place was Mt. Hood, still showing him lifting his head to the sky in pride.
Osiyo. I'm Cherokee and Aleute. I love seeing My CUzzins and Aunties and Uncles and Brothers all having a voice and educating each other and others about indigenous history. More content like this.
I love this. As a kid I admired all these tribes and natives. When we returned to Puerto Rico and learn about our natives "Taino" made me feel a connection. Just wish we would learn more and protect more our history and lineage. I know, I believe it's in the southern and central parts of PR, there are families trying to conserve and get out a lot of our Taino history and I love it. I know my grandma from my mother's side, she has lineage and if you see her in person you see " India Taina" and I love it❤❤❤. My mom would tell me that her great grandmother was a native Taina❤
It's great to hear about families in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 trying to preserve the Native Taino history. As a Native American from Arizona, I hope more Puerto Ricans rediscover their Indigenous heritage.
I'm Navajo and I love my tribe and my people but I don't like expressing out to non indigenous people because they always make fun of it as in our music they just mock us and start screaming when I'm around it's sad 😔
My goodness, I’m so sorry that people are ignorant and have made you feel like you can’t express yourself ☹️. I’m a black woman born in England and my father used to send my siblings and I to sleep every night with Indigenous traditional music and it’s probably one of best memories of my childhood. Please know that you and your people have love, respect and support from many parts of the world ❤
I am a Native American/White mix. I am mostly white though, but it is always awesome to hear about the culture of Native Americans and it saddens me when I hear about the bullshit they have to go through.
HEY SAME HERE!! MY FATHER IS WHITE BUT MY MOM IS NATIVE!! SAME WITH MY GRANDPA BEING A FULL BLOOD AND MY GRANDMA BEING IRISH AND GERMAN!! You are not alone and I completely agree with you entirely!!
1:28 this is kinda a bruh moment cuz in old photos like nobody smiled in pictures it had nothing to do with race, it was just the fact that the cameras took so long that they couldn’t hold it
Puerto Rican here with 22% native Taino and bit of Mayan/Wayuu and my wife Rican mix w Mexican 53% Hopi/Aztec/Taino natives, so are our kids, 🇲🇽🇵🇷🤜🤛love both worlds❤️ u have great blessing day.
It's really important to remember you can't identify Native Americans by how they look. It was millions of different cultures and several races mixed together before colonization, and the skin tone mixing has gotten only stronger after colonization.
No there's people who look distinctly native like the on 1:13 for example, but like you said it depends on the tribes and of the different regions in the Americas. Inuit and Northern Canadian natives look like people from Siberia, they have lighter skin obviously because it's cold and look way different from Indigenous people of Southwest USA and Mexico.
What people think of when you say "Native American" looks like most of the popular tribes in the US, brown or tan with reddish tint skin, straight hair and a nose with a slight bump to it.
@@g9ez567 Technically they were two races, one group moved into the Americas from across the land bridge in between Alaska and Kamchatka at the time while another known as "Population Y" moved in from Australia. Australians are Melanesians. Even so I think it's accurate to overall describe them as ono distinct people on cultural lines.
@@afroartist1086That theory isn't really relevant since it was only one tribe in South America that supposedly has Australian Aborigines dna. Most Native tribes don't have Aborigine dna
In those really old photos of people they normally didn’t smile because the cameras were so slow and their faces would hurt from trying to smile for so long. Regardless of race or culture.
My family came from Germany and Ireland, Ireland during the famine, dont know when from Germany. I take pride knowing my family didnt take part in slavery or stealing land directly from indigenous Tribes in my home state. I hold s much respect for all indigenous people, without them, a lot of the things we have now wouldnt be here.
Thanks for your kind words about my people. I've noticed white people of irish or german descent have respect for indigenous people. Germans and Irish were tribal people themselves long ago.
I'm a Iñupiat (Indigenous to Alaska) descendant on my father's side, my mother's side is mixed Euro (West Coast Euro, mostly French) but.. I've always struggled with my identity because I don't have a connection to the community because of my adoption.. My bio father lied to the social worker on purpose here in the upper United States and hid our Indigenous side of our family so I would get adopted by a distant relative, my adoptive mother and father.. This is one decision I've never approved of, and is the hardest thing I've had to deal with recently. ICWA did not protect me, and so I lost the one chance I would have had to grow up with an Indigenous family.. I am scared to claim that I am Inupiaq because of what happened.. 2 sides of my family are colonizing French while the other sides of my family are Iñupiat , African, West Asian and Indian (from India).. This is my story, I am my ancestor's greatest dream that was never supposed to come true... For so many reasons, I feel incredibly invalidated with my identity, I don't have a connection to my culture.. I wish there was more awareness for these issues..
As polish gal, I hella wish we Slavs had such strong connection to our roots and prechristian culture and faith that Native American and African Americam people have 💔 Sadly christian missionaries did very good job in destroying whatever they could and twisting the rest to their narrative 😢 You guys are so lucky, You resisted Your faith, customs, rituals and traditions remain ❤❤❤❤❤❤
learned that the area i was born & the area i grew up in had a lot of native tribes; but specifically "Potawatomi" caught my attention, as that was the camp i attended when i was younger. and the area i live now, a tribe called Chesapeake lived here, which is also the name of a few of our roads and a city near me. The Lumbee tribe also lived around these parts. what's sad is that there are no Potawatomi people living in the United States anymore. i'll be researching these 3 tribes and looking into their history, it saddens me that these people were driven out of their lands (and slaughtered) so viciously that none remain in their own native land.
I’m mostly a European mutt, but I’ve always heard stories of Native American ancestry on my father’s side. After doing a DNA test I found they were actually true and I’m 3% Indigenous North American, which I know is a tiny amount. Even if it’s tiny I still feel connected to that part of myself, and connected to whoever my ancestor was. I’ve done a good amount of research into my family tree but still have no idea who they could be. Also, there’s just something about Indigenous music that makes me emotional. I was lucky enough to see A Tribe Called Red play live once, that was an experience.
I least I'm European, I love Native American culture. Our culture was pretty much erased by dear Roman Empire (History repeats itself), and seeing Native people so proud of their culture makes one to share my true one too
I'm half European, the white (English)side of my family didn't take anything tho, they came after it was taken, and they worked hard to feed their families. The white side of my family didn't want to be apart of racism or taking things. Sorry I ment the other side of Europe!! Not England and stuff- I forget to say stuff😅
To read this always wanted to go to Europe and see everything France German Italy to share my culture them and the same with them 🙏🐻from the yuchis tribe
On the Kunik, are they breathing in to symbolize anything in particular? Sometimes I'll snuffle the top of my kids head, and I love getting his scent. Is that what they're doing, smelling their person's scent? TIA ❤️
I dont Think im anything special- other Than an ordinary scandinavian, but i love to learn about This stuff, people and so on i find it interesting, and dont even get me started on the clothes- it’s so pretty
Lots of tests never say what tribe you are from just what state. Most people already know we are indigenous to Michoacán but we wanna know what tribe. Thats the main one that was there but I don’t just wanna assume.
The “ we never smiled in photos thing is a little funny cus the history of photography is that its really hard to keep an expressive face for long enough for thw picture to develop i dont think that native Americans just didnt ever smile or wouldnt in photos if the situation was different anywho not the point
13:00 Damn. Where I grew up in Canada the name of the people native to this land is very well-known and talked about especially in school so this is weird to see.
3/4 of my ancestors were *literally* colonizers. 😭 1/3 of my Colonial ancestors were the Quakers and Abolitionists. 2/3 were the S!ave Owners of the Old South.
I don't even know which one my country is. I have equal Irish and English relatives and ancestors xvzkcigkfivlgj technically I can get passports for both countries but vindhschdlcyxxjbc But yeah, if anyone should be going back it should be the white Americans (my family didn't come to the us until the 1950's and we've since moved back) Anyway stand with native tribes
11:43 Something I think we get too angry with the situation to realize is that these young white boys who know exactly nothing about anyone but their immediate family haven't chosen to be this way. The knowledge has been intentionally kept from multiple generations of European descendants, until we no longer knew there was a problem at all. We are taught and trained specifically to believe we are superior, and that those things that happened in the past really weren't all that bad, and that it was SOOOOOO long ago that it should hardly matter anymore. It's not an accident. It's not a coincidence. The truth has been stolen on purpose from non-native children, which is its own sick kind of oppression. It only multiplies the atrocities our ancestors committed, and most of us can't even see how it wounds us as much as it wounds our native neighbors. Having to relearn how to be a decent human being in your 20's, and realizing that the authority figures you trusted aren't interested in joining you, is exhausting. It's a system that was built to give white children the advantage; but in the long run, it's destroyed us in ways no one could have predicted. Yes, these fancy white boys are stereotypically clueless, but they didn't wake up on their 13th birthdays and actively choose to be. They've been artfully styled by generations to be above thinking too hard about most things. But the more we publicly converse about the reality of America's anti-native history, the more change we will see in their children and grandchildren. If we keep talking, we can give them back the voice that's been taken from them. Then they can scream and shout along with the rest of us, and our voice will be tenfold. Our forebears have cheated us all of so much. I like to hope that some of them might not have if they knew what grief they would land their far-off descendants with... But I doubt it.
Im native American way back then if we said we were here first or this are land we were hanged or raped give a respect we are human being to why can't we get kindness we don't just because we are native and even back then they put all native American kids in one school room it native americans we are not dangerous because we are Native ..........................WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS WE MATTER
He looks similar to my Mexican classmate in California. A lot of Mexicans have indigenous blood and don't know about it, many of them were quiet insecure about being darker skinned.
Also just because you grew up in a place where "most look like that" doesn't mean he couldn't be bullied by other people. Lots of non-white folks are self-hating and many of the racist + passive aggressive comments towards me were from other people of color.
The history of the residential schools should be the focus of alot of lost families names clans n last names due to church attempts to eliminate us people from native communities know who importance of this
Every single nation on this planet has been at war with their neighbours. Yes it is not good what people have done. Should we hate others for their ancestors.... The people today have not done what their ancestors have done. Should I hate either side of my ancestry. This is not the solution I am part french and part mi'kmaw. I don't hate either side nor try to have one side pick on the other. This is not a solution. It is good to know history that we may not repeat what was done for it was evil.

learned that the area i was born & the area i grew up in had a lot of native tribes; but specifically "Potawatomi" caught my attention, as that was the camp i attended when i was younger. and the area i live now, a tribe called Chesapeake lived here, which is also the name of a few of our roads and a city near me. The Lumbee tribe also lived around these parts.
what's sad is that there are no Potawatomi people living in the United States anymore. i'll be researching these 3 tribes and looking into their history, it saddens me that these people were driven out of their lands (and slaughtered) so viciously that none remain in their own native land.

I’m mostly a European mutt, but I’ve always heard stories of Native American ancestry on my father’s side. After doing a DNA test I found they were actually true and I’m 3% Indigenous North American, which I know is a tiny amount. Even if it’s tiny I still feel connected to that part of myself, and connected to whoever my ancestor was. I’ve done a good amount of research into my family tree but still have no idea who they could be. Also, there’s just something about Indigenous music that makes me emotional. I was lucky enough to see A Tribe Called Red play live once, that was an experience.
Hoka it's always a good day to be indigenous
I was insecure about how small my eyes were growing up but I'm part Native I'm proud of my eyes now it's my heritage
I least I'm European, I love Native American culture. Our culture was pretty much erased by dear Roman Empire (History repeats itself), and seeing Native people so proud of their culture makes one to share my true one too
I'm half European, the white (English)side of my family didn't take anything tho, they came after it was taken, and they worked hard to feed their families. The white side of my family didn't want to be apart of racism or taking things.
Sorry I ment the other side of Europe!! Not England and stuff- I forget to say stuff😅
@Ibo Zambotnik Of course!
@Ibo Zambotnik yes
To read this always wanted to go to Europe and see everything France German Italy to share my culture them and the same with them 🙏🐻from the yuchis tribe
are you romanian?
1:27 😍😍😍
My people came from here and other places.
I love this culture😊
I've a question, how can you use the music from tiktok videos without violating copyright?
You can't. You can post the video but if you get paid on TH-cam, then won't pay you for that video.
2:00 This is peak comedy.
My family has a book about setting bull in one of our bookshelves.
On the Kunik, are they breathing in to symbolize anything in particular?
Sometimes I'll snuffle the top of my kids head, and I love getting his scent. Is that what they're doing, smelling their person's scent?
TIA ❤️
I dont Think im anything special- other Than an ordinary scandinavian, but i love to learn about This stuff, people and so on i find it interesting, and dont even get me started on the clothes- it’s so pretty
😱 O POR DIOS ,❤AMO ESTE VIDEO ,AMO ❤ESTA CULTURA .

Lots of tests never say what tribe you are from just what state. Most people already know we are indigenous to Michoacán but we wanna know what tribe. Thats the main one that was there but I don’t just wanna assume.
Proud mohican and Narragansett with some Blackfoot. It's good to be Nehiyaw
Ima native American and that first video was amazing because that's always what I told ie to tell people th to that woman💪🙏⚡🦃🐓🌪🇺🇸
The “ we never smiled in photos thing is a little funny cus the history of photography is that its really hard to keep an expressive face for long enough for thw picture to develop i dont think that native Americans just didnt ever smile or wouldnt in photos if the situation was different anywho not the point
13:00 Damn. Where I grew up in Canada the name of the people native to this land is very well-known and talked about especially in school so this is weird to see.
3/4 of my ancestors were *literally* colonizers. 😭
1/3 of my Colonial ancestors were the Quakers and Abolitionists.
2/3 were the S!ave Owners of the Old South.
Don’t be let down by it, what your ancestors did does mean you did those things too. We have no control over that
Thank You…
👍 very well said young lady..
At 11:17 when he said Cherokee I was so happy because I'm Cherokee and wado for putting that in there 😁
Here around in Spartanburg, South Carolina there is a lot of people that know mostly about Cherokee, nothing else
@@mauricexodhe9663 that's so cool!!
Proud blackfoot, nez perce happy 😊
To the first gal, they wouldn’t welcome you…they would treat you more like an outcast
Yep, I can't tell anybody to go back to their country bc i would first have to go back to Wales 😭👍
Ya same if someone(indigenous Australians) told me to go back to my country I would be so confused bc I was born there😭😭😭
I don't even know which one my country is. I have equal Irish and English relatives and ancestors xvzkcigkfivlgj technically I can get passports for both countries but vindhschdlcyxxjbc
But yeah, if anyone should be going back it should be the white Americans (my family didn't come to the us until the 1950's and we've since moved back)
Anyway stand with native tribes
I gladly return to my country if you pay for my plane ticket in full.
One of the most woke sides of the internet
The first clip simply sets a bad mood on a video that is supposed to be a celebration of culture.
Name song for 9:45

I'm related too cherokee and yeah
11:43 Something I think we get too angry with the situation to realize is that these young white boys who know exactly nothing about anyone but their immediate family haven't chosen to be this way. The knowledge has been intentionally kept from multiple generations of European descendants, until we no longer knew there was a problem at all. We are taught and trained specifically to believe we are superior, and that those things that happened in the past really weren't all that bad, and that it was SOOOOOO long ago that it should hardly matter anymore. It's not an accident. It's not a coincidence. The truth has been stolen on purpose from non-native children, which is its own sick kind of oppression. It only multiplies the atrocities our ancestors committed, and most of us can't even see how it wounds us as much as it wounds our native neighbors. Having to relearn how to be a decent human being in your 20's, and realizing that the authority figures you trusted aren't interested in joining you, is exhausting. It's a system that was built to give white children the advantage; but in the long run, it's destroyed us in ways no one could have predicted.
Yes, these fancy white boys are stereotypically clueless, but they didn't wake up on their 13th birthdays and actively choose to be. They've been artfully styled by generations to be above thinking too hard about most things. But the more we publicly converse about the reality of America's anti-native history, the more change we will see in their children and grandchildren. If we keep talking, we can give them back the voice that's been taken from them. Then they can scream and shout along with the rest of us, and our voice will be tenfold.
Our forebears have cheated us all of so much. I like to hope that some of them might not have if they knew what grief they would land their far-off descendants with... But I doubt it.
0:00-0:52 she ate and left no crumbs
She left no crumbs like her dad left her mom
He is my hero
Proud Flathead and Kumeyaay. Not afraid to call people out silencing history.
5:32 YESSSS I GET TOLD THIS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I LOOK WHITE BROOO.
Im native American way back then if we said we were here first or this are land we were hanged or raped give a respect we are human being to why can't we get kindness we don't just because we are native and even back then they put all native American kids in one school room it native americans we are not dangerous because we are Native ..........................WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS WE MATTER
9:35 he was not. He grew up in so cal where everyone looks somewhat similar.
He looks similar to my Mexican classmate in California. A lot of Mexicans have indigenous blood and don't know about it, many of them were quiet insecure about being darker skinned.
Also just because you grew up in a place where "most look like that" doesn't mean he couldn't be bullied by other people. Lots of non-white folks are self-hating and many of the racist + passive aggressive comments towards me were from other people of color.
The history of the residential schools should be the focus of alot of lost families names clans n last names due to church attempts to eliminate us people from native communities know who importance of this
I'm from Texas so I can't go back where I'm from
that first girl isn't Russian ! Is it a dare ??? 😵💫
Song at 1:32? Anyone
Halluci Nation- Electric Power Wow
I'm just advocated to give my ancestors land back and mines!!! I love who I am.
You mean the land that cavemen and tribes wandered into tens of thousands ago?
the first one is badass! 😎
Nah she just another "Oppressed poc" looking for victim points
@@nikrose5229you're funny
SLAYYYY
Every single nation on this planet has been at war with their neighbours. Yes it is not good what people have done. Should we hate others for their ancestors.... The people today have not done what their ancestors have done. Should I hate either side of my ancestry. This is not the solution
I am part french and part mi'kmaw. I don't hate either side nor try to have one side pick on the other. This is not a solution. It is good to know history that we may not repeat what was done for it was evil.
Does anyone know the link two the video of the little red dress earrings?
my duaghter's cree half german
Not the absolute fax being spit at the start of the video 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
I am indigenous
