Life As A Young and Native American | Indigenous Voices

- Almost three million people currently identify as Native American - despite this, their place in both our history, and the modern day, is largely ignored.
For a century, the U.S government believed what was best for Native American kids was to strip them of their families and communities, their culture and language, their hair and clothes. Now, mounting research has demonstrated how this policy has decimated communities and been deadly to Native peoples. “Identification with a particular cultural background and a secure sense of cultural identity is associated with higher self-esteem, better educational attainment (grades and going to college), and is protective against mental health problems, substance use, and other issues for adolescents and adults,” a summary of research by the National Indian Child Welfare Association stated in 2017.
For 24 year old Delmar, learning about traditional practices is a way to honor her heritage and make sense of her place in the world.

As a central native american trying to rescue as much as I can from my culture and as a young guy. This makes me so happy and cry, to see others young native americans trying to do the same.
Which country of central america are you from???
Te llamas "Leonardo Hernandez", empieza por clambiarte tu nombre y apellido.
Hi how are you doing
Ya which country are you from?
I'm a Honduran Spaniard, and I love that my people conquered América. I say this to piss of liberal extremists. :-) Put your tears in my jar.
Spain liberated América from cannibalism and human sacrifice. Spain committed no genocide, as proven by most Spanish speakers being Native Americans. Most Hispanics can't even grow a beard which shows how non-Spanish they are.
I plan to learn Quechua, Pukina, Lakota, Mayan, Náhuatl and more. I love beautiful Native American civilizations. God did so much awesome stuff with ihs predetermined race and their glory.
Be proud of your culture, teach the younger generation about them. Never loose your identity and never loose your mother tongue .Greetings from native of borneo.. ❤️
When you stop entering a sacred circle with a number on in competition for money!!and being entertainment for wasichus then the power will come back to the people!!!
@@monkshavano3613 I don't understand your stupid comment.
I have no culture. I wish I did though
Hello, im an Indonesian living in jakarta
@@BubbleArcadia That's impossibile, everyone has roots. You just need to find them.
As a Native American who grew up away from her reservation and finally taking her culture back I thank you 😊 seeing you embrace your culture is really inspiring. I am from the coushatta tribe and I’m proud to be indigenous!
You are not indigenous. Black people are indigenous everywhere…
@@Lori2540 sure bud
@@Lori2540 Lay off with propaganda
Yall native americans should get out united states where you are treated like shit, come to Peru, Bolivia and Brazil that your soul will feel home and your culture will be celebrated. I know that the land topic is really important to us native people, but stay in mind that we still living this culture, if you need a second home, come to south america brothers and sisters.
@@otohime8516I would really love to move there, maybe when I'm older
It makes me depressed thinking about the conditions which Native Americans are still subjected to. Native American history after Columbus is absolutely tragic, and too many people don’t see the extent of it. For example, the Taíno peoples developed mass suicidal tendencies (e.g. mothers performing infanticide, men jumping off of cliffs, etc.) after endless mistreatment from the Spanish. Today, natives are still suffering from high rates of drug abuse, alcoholism, obesity, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. If you blame the natives themselves for these issues, you are highly ignorant. Who subjected them to slavery and destitution? Who forced them out of their homelands? There’s so much to native history that people aren’t aware of: the suffering, but also the sophistication of the cultures. It makes me very happy seeing these young natives reconnecting with their cultures-although truthfully, they should never have been separated from them in the first place.
Jennifer Wang So my dad told me that when white people (am Native American) he said when the elderly got sick they would throw them off the cliff because of the diseases and how they didn’t want children to get sick or they would leave I don’t know almost any words from my clans am Navajo and Hopi and Omaha it’s sad to see what I’ve become and my ancestors become because of Europeans am sorry if this offended you if it did sorry and goodbye
@@juicekasten4615 Sorry to hear that, man
I've no doubt about that. In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners indigenous Native Americans. Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes like Slavery and Colonialism had long been over, why on is this notorious Colonization still lingering on earth? blog.chinadaily.com.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=820652
Gio Corvino To your first reply: Native Americans definitely aren’t a monolith, nor do all of them get along. But that doesn’t excuse the indiscriminate trauma and genocide brought upon Natives by colonizers, the effects of which are still seen today. It’s not Westerners’ faults that they happened to be the ones with superior weaponry, but with power comes responsibility. This responsibility wasn’t exercised. The effects of Western colonization on Native Americans and pre-Columbus Native American wars are incomparable. Years after the wars and genocides, Native lands are still being encroached upon. Their reservations have shrunk drastically in the name of Western interests. There are still Natives today who remember being taken away from their parents and sent to Western schools and families in a purposeful and legislation-backed effort to erase their heritage. While it’s not necessarily modern white Americans who committed genocide, they are still enjoying the fruits of their ancestors’ unjust victories. Native Americans certainly deserve compensation for what has and still is happening to them.
r0nni3_w YT Super late reply but please don’t blame yourself or feel ashamed! I didn’t mean to insinuate that it was the Natives’ faults for how they became. That sort of negative effect isn’t something that manifests in people by their own choice. I’m not Native myself, so I might be overstepping with this explanation, but this is just what I’ve researched; their trauma was brought on by the effects of Western colonization-foreign diseases, wars, enslavement, etc. It’s not their fault that this happened, so please don’t feel sorry. Thank you to you and your ancestors for being persevering, because it’s a blessing that Native American cultures and peoples still exist today.
Love from India! Embrace your culture, embrace your family, embrace your people! Nothing makes me happier ❤
As an Assyrian I feel I can relate to native Americans. Losing your home, your culture, generations of trauma. Never stop your voice or lose your culture this was your land first.

My mother is Indian and I have always loved going to pow wow! The drums, the singing, just take you away to another place and time. Beautiful human beings! Much love from Utah ❤!
You are a special and unique person. Your life & soul matter. Your life is very short compared to eternity.
Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day. God does love ❤️ you.
i feel like natives all over the americas feel like this. I’m native but my culture and practices faded away a long time ago and I want to reconnect. This video made me feel at home.
My family is from Zacatecas, I’m in the same boat. Try reconnecting with tribal traditions or practiced and clothes and culture from living tribes from around where your tribe was. Or, I’m taking some from all of the Mexica empire because not much is known about individual tribes.

Hello Eduarda! How are you doing today?
May God open doors of blessings for you today and favor you in all that you do. Good morning.
Heartbreaking but uplifting. Absolutely disgusting what happened to the Indigenous, just horrible. But seeing their strength to perservere and thrive after everything they went through is inspiring, it's such a beautiful culture that we can learn a lot from them. Wish them nothing but the best in life and beyond
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
So you're a nationalist? Nice. Me too! Europe for Europeans.
Yeah I’m British and I think you are guys amazing
We have lost our words and learned the words of others. Words are important as they literally shape one’s thought. One word takes this shape while another word takes that shape. With that in mind, know that Indian is a false title for Native People, just as is “indi-genous” as that literally means “Indi” blood (genous)… as is “Native American” because while we are Native to these lands “America” is a word bestowed by those not native to the land, and in fact comes from an Italian man named Amerigo Vespucci …
As such, these names and words put on us, like shackles, not only force us to lose sight of our own identity (as with other ways too) but also shape us to be viewed a certain way by others.
In my opinion, these false titles/words cause others to perceive of us as what we are not: Savages, Indian/Indigenous, Ab-Original (literally “away from” original; ie not original), American, etc…
We are First People, we came to these lands so many seek and have sought, FIRST…
We are First People.
But others don’t want to think that way - hence the false and historic descriptions/titles…
But look how fun it is to live out of your van these days, to ride horses, and live with less… the hippie vibe is growing and people are buying, but that was our culture that was sold as savage, and now it is in high demand, with expensive tags ironically….
Look in the mirror. Or you will never see the stars.
Problem with america is all the attention goes to black people 😂 black people think they had it worse in america which is absolutely insane. But you can see it in mainstream media, its inly about black and whites. 😂
I’m Mexican but when I see natives Americans and I see myself in the mirror we are no different. We might not have life easy but we all doing our best to have better life and keep our culture alive and get it pass down
You also want to jump the border and live off European exellence.
Mexicans are mixed native american. But most Mexicans have European blood, and the further north you go in Mexico the more European blooded Mexicans you get.
Yes it's indeed that's funny..do you have any pet?
Beautiful Native Americans Culture. After all still here today. I am Incan from Perú. 🇵🇪 Respect! ✌️
Me too
Me too. But i have inga, chanca and wanka blood.
I'm an African... And this pulls the strings to my heart so much... Started researching the native American pple cos of Pocahontas myth... And I just love the fact y'all are coming out with ur stories...
Love the way she embraced the huge tree trunk, at times whenever i see pine trees in the mountain, I touch and hugs them too..sounds weird but, connecting to nature is refreshing and feeling calm & refreshing. I think american native indians are the original people in America. Your culture is impressive. Thanks for this video --PF,SouthPacific
Not Indians, we are just Native Americans
I also love hugging trees. But when your in the city people dont understand that.
@@tkn463 not sure where they’re from, but in my languages (Finnish and Swedish) and I’m pretty sure some other languages the word for native Americans is ’intiaani’ and ’indian’, which could easily get accidentally translated to the English ’indians’. So it’s possible they’re just not a native English speaker and didn’t mean any harm.
As an indigenous Mizo tribal from the state of Mizoram in the Asian India, I extend my deep support to our fellow Native indigenous brothers and sisters living in the Americas. Today's generation needs to know the truth about what your ancestors have gone through and be treated with better respect and understanding. Till today, I don't see any President of the United States sitting in the White House who is of Native origin.
Yes,that will be great. American president will mean just that then. Today its a European president
@@induchopra3014 and just one African. The rest, all white

I love native Indians. Huge Respect!!! from Albania 🇦🇱.
Y did Jesus Christ (God) die? Out of love ❤️. God's great love for you caused Jesus to come down from Heaven and enter our world and died on a wooden cross ✝️ for our sins. Because Jesus Christ was holy and committed NO sin, He was the only One qualified to become our substitute.
But Jesus' temporary death is not the final event. 3 days later He rose from the grave conquering sin and death altogether.
Jesus Christ ascended back to heaven & now He offers forgiveness and heaven to anyone who trusts Him (Jesus Christ) as their Savior. When anyone does, he or she will be guaranteed to go to heaven after this life.
Don't you want this eternal security 🤔 locked 🔐 into your life before it's all over?

@@LordOfSweden no not at all, I'm European and proud to be so. I was just saying that I really appreciate this culture. I wasn't blaming anyone :)
I'm from a small town in West Yorkshire; Many many moons ago in probably 1999 I remember a strange tanned man entering our classroom, he showed us things that were beautifully carved and he talked about his life "back home" where he came from. He looked like a man that had lost everything now I recall the memory each thought he had left him with a little sadness. He wasn't like us, the way he moved or talked I remember him taking questions....The way he pondered on his replies I could tell he missed home.
He was a native Indian that settled on a council estate, he lived 1 street up from me tucked away in a corner where he used a tree stump as a table for his family, 4 boys if I remember correctly sometimes if it was a hot day he would get the most beautiful teepee out and set it up. I wish I had spoke more to this man and his family! I wonder how they ended up living on an extremely shabby council estate with a rep like the worst of them in the middle of England.
I'm also interested to how a Native American came to England, to a council estate of all place. I hope he found way back home.
Beautiful. My parents are from Central America and I was born and raised here in the United States. I have the highest respect for Native American culture and I want to keep learning about your culture. I teach adults English so during the month of November, we are learning about Native Americans and their history. Last year we watched Smoke Signals in class, discussed it and made sentences in English about the different characters. This year we are watching Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and will discuss in English as well. I have attended a few pow wows and they were beautiful. I am working on teaching my children Spanish because it is easy for Latinos who are born in the country to lose it just like I see here that the youth in Native American communities also have to put effort into learning and keeping the languages alive. I wish I could help in some way, knowing that natives on the reservations suffer from depression, alcoholism, domestic abuse, etc. I guess the best way I can help is to simply keep learning about everyone's different cultures and help be a voice for the injustices that happen all around the word. Great video. I love it. Thank you.
I believe that as I like many other non-indigenous people Love and Admire Native Americans. We want to help we just don't know how. I am French from Louisiana, My Dear Grandmother was beaten in school for speaking French which was her native language. This caused many to quit and hide in the swamp lands so they would not be taken by the government. So many non-English peoples have suffered in the same ways. At the hands of the Catholic church and the U.S. Gov. Everyone seems to feel that they are the only ones yet there are so many of us. We have lost our French Language. We never lost our love of life and ability to laugh. Many of us still live off the land and they're taking that away bit by bit with hunting and fishing regulations. What can we do?

Native Americans: fighting terrorism since 1492. Greets and much respect from Rome, Italy.
I mean Native Americans committed genocide against each other constantly since the time Europeans arrived.
No one cared when the Shawnee literally butchered and wiped out an entire river tribe. Why does it matter who's doing the genocide?
@@ruskyalmond1977tribal warfare existed everywhere, no matter what country or continent, but what the Europeans did was truly disgusting, they went from killing them like they were dogs, to forcing them onto reservations, starving them and then going to massacre them even when they surrendered a white flag of peace like in Wounded Knee.
The Shawnee killing out a tribe is a lot less than Europeans trying to kill out all the tribes

More of YT's videos w/ indigenous voices need CC for the hard of hearing :c auto-generated subtitles do not count, and I really want to be able to take in all the information :/ Nothing against this video in particular, it's beautiful and much-needed coverage, all it needs is more accessibility

Those white people dont give a shit to you guys, but we Chinese people can feel u, we are always here to support u finding ur own culture and using u own language!
Hello how are you doing?
Hold your horses bro, spreading hate wont fix anything. Those " whites" do care, though some are evil, just like some chinese are evil too.
@@loinsnathanloinsnathan4605your own people don't give a darn bout you
Don't talk hypocrite.
I'm white (Spanish/Italian by origin) and I can well imagine what these people have gone through.
Native Americans have every right to preserve their heritage and culture, even if it's difficult in this day and age for everyone.
Everyone can show empathy and compassion, regardless of their origins and skin color.
Beautiful people 100% American genuine native people here respect.
Wow, this is truely magical. I’d only wish to be born a native Indian! I think their culture is absolutely beautiful
They dont look indian

It's awesome that you continue your tradition and maintain your spirit! What evil colonialists did to you could not break your spirit as they tried using malice and crime while your soul is a manifestation of good in the universe!!!

Woah! native american its just like asians its incredible to see native there i thought native americans is already extinct because of white domination but om wrong its cool to see if they preserve the culture very well i have no idea about natives in america because its never been taught here. I wish all americans will be proud to their heritage not european love to see their traditional costume also.

So much to teach and exemplify,for everyone, about the healthy expression of tribalism: positivity, human connection, and healing sanity.
@Lee Ruoho just out of curiosity, are you of Finnish descent? Your last name means "grass" in Finnish.
May God open doors of blessings for you today and favor you in all that you do. Good morning.

You can still agree with a videos message while still thinking it’s a trash video
haha that's a little exaggeration, no?

7:13 I love the dance native American cultural revolution 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
NO MORE RESERVATION LET'S GET ARE HOME BACK.
I hope you get your homes back, but I also wish more Natives would mix into society because I feel at a lost by not knowing the true inhabiters of this land.
That would be absolutely horrible please let's never do that
Like that's ever happening- shrek
U could go live the way if u wanted to... but u won't...
@@pit208 Good grief... Anyone born here is Native American. And no people are Indigenous... we all arrived within seconds of each other during Earth's history. Seconds of each other. No one is tied to a res and those abusing themselves made that decision. Your acting as their savior and lord is virtue signaling and nothing more.
Real Owner of america
Why?
I know this is not what this story is about.... But HOTDAMN Delmar! Seriously a NATURAL beauty.
It is nice to hear that someone else becomes angry for our past and current issues. I am of the Chickasaw tribe the traditions were not taught to me. I would like to see our heritage more widely spread to be involved in. I am a proud Native American but am tired of having to prove it no others not just general public but also political. There is no other ethnicities have to do this so why do I. I do not look like Hollywood portrays what we all look like the scrutiny I and others are under to prove who we are.
Hope you can find happiness in this world.
Indigenous live we continue livin !
Can’t forget to send you my prayers for a happy weekend, I wish you joy and happiness all of your life, happy weekend.
