Shout out to all my natives across the land. Much luv from OKLA.
thanks, white boy
fellow Oklahoman. deff shout out to my Native frens
Yessur much love from MI
Hey yeah much luv here in Milwaukee WI Kickapoo Tribe
i read "Little Earth" and instantly clicked because i lived there a couple years with my cousins. When i lived there, the furthest i could go was "cockroach park" and daily crossed the fenced bridge. riding bikes,rip sticks, and it was fun. All the kids would play at the park together, or we'd go the basketball court right next to it and play lighting or sumn. I miss it there so much, but i hope the shootings/killings stop. It wasnt paradise when i was there as a kid, but you could atleast walk around freely without worryin abt anything. I hope everyone in there gets out like i did🙏🏽❤️
I’m from Arizona, Navajo Nation and I will be visiting this location just to meet and share some knowledge about one another’s culture and experiences.
Dope all the best brother
Also visit Pine Ridge South Dakota, see how my Oglala Lakota (Sioux) Rez is!
I’ve been to Little Earth on numerous occasions as a child but could never say I grew up there. I always thought it was so cool that the city had a place for natives (being there isn’t much of us) but it is disheartening to see what has been going on there in recent years and beyond. I understand there are ghetto’s in just about every city but it hurts me differently to see my people so down bad. We are a warrior society and we need to return to that. No more drugs, no more alcohol, no more violence. The next generation and OUR generation needs us to get our act together. I pray for our people and for our communities and the communities around us. I pray for Minneapolis and for the reservations who are also experiencing this. We need to do better and we most definitely CAN do better 🪶
Shoutout Tommy G for the exposure
well cant ever go back to the ancestor ways cuz white man lands now...😟😞
Little earth has been like that since the 1990s. Shooting happens between march or april (which ever month feels warm) all the way until novemeber or december. The drug epidemic been a problem for the past ten plus years.
I’m not sure the “warrior culture” is what needs to be emphasized. Some of the best aspects of “native/indigenous” culture need to be mixed with some cultural reforms. Tribal lands need to be better leveraged, which includes shared/communal property being wisely molded in a way that preserves natural elements, but also facilitates economic opportunities, better relations with neighbors, cultural/tribal cohesion & activities. Some of the tribal land should be made more akin to private ownership. End the rebellious/victim/anti-assimilation indoctrination. Self police your society, use the warrior mentality against thuggish degenerates to give them tough love…
@@boxcutter0 100% agree with you. Those things are what I kind of associate being a warrior with. When I say be a warrior I don’t mean just be strong and tough and know how to fight. I mean take care of yourself, take care of your families, take care of those who need you, raise your sons to be better men. We as a people need to collectively be on the same page when it comes to restoring our communities. In my opinion it starts with the men. Men lead your families in the right direction, provide for the sick and the needy, and the children. Establish good relationships with neighboring families. Drugs, lust and alcohol will destroy you and if our men our destroyed, so are our communities. This is easier said than done but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be done
I fuck with the maturity of the “tour guides”. On these hood vlogs, everyone always show out and try to make it seem like their hood go the hardest.
But these dudes were calm, collected, and reserved. And these probably be the mfers that bust ya head open.
Midwest we gangstas and gentlemen 🤞🏾
Exactly, the quiet ones are the most dangerous.
That minneapolis for you 🙏🙏🙏I love little earth despite its reputation the govt have rlly failed the native population in Minnesota
@@coleket8173no the natives failed themselves in Minnesota
Because they know they nowhere close to the hardest 😂
Granny naming all the Minnesota juvenile detention centers off the top is crazy 😂❤
Sad part is all that does it ready them for prison instead of helping them like she think it does..
I'm saying🤣🤣 shit threw me back. The only one she named i was in was red wing but I heard plenty about boys totem town and county homeschool
It be like that here
I used to visit my brother in Sauk Centre. In like 1993 I was in 6th grade my bro was in 8th grade sat in Sauk for 2 years for armed robbery.
She’s naming schools for boys they send to like a boarding school not a juvenile center
Bruh its not only a problem in Minnesota it's all over the reservations nationwide but I want to give you a huge shout out for bringing light to this situation 💯 ❤❤❤❤
Yea sound like when you don't have strong family vales you think you need to raise yourself and treat others like 💩💩💩 doesn't matter your skin color...but matters if your parents care about you and show you right
as someone from tha navajo nation , it’s really crazyy how all these mfs in the hood get all this coverage doin dumb ass shit , but when its us natives actually trynna protect ourselves from gettin taken advantage of by the cartel it gets swept under the rug , the native american reservations are the most dangerous places in this earth because it’s not federal land , only the fbi and the tribal police have jurisdiction in this area the size of the United Kingdom 🤦🏽♂️ its soo fuckin crazyy
@@darkfafnir4389oo
@darkfafnir4389 Its not the parents, tbh its the people they hang out with. You're who you hang out with regardless of your upbringing. Your parents can only do so much, I had great parents. Still was being a loser like most of america. Only you can change your future.
I'm in WA and the natives go crazy here. I didn't realize it was so huge all over
I'm from Southside of mpls n grew up in little earth watching this brings back alot of memories I love my hood
That young woman who became a teacher now in the community she grew up in, that is the story that needs to be told. She had to have had many of the same experiences, but she took another path, made different choices, did some hard work to become a teacher. Good for her, they should look up to her and those like her. She's trying to get that garden going becasue she is involved in doing the actual work to help her community. I hope she becomes a mentor in her community as she grows older.
There’s already a community garden that the kids get paid to work at and they fired the guy that was working there. It’s fkd up too cause he’s a good guy. He’s irreplaceable. White guy too but ev1 loved him. They just had a meeting about him today. I didn’t go tho.
No
The rest of the community would rather blame the pew pews than di any changing. It's much easier that way, and they don't even have to take responsibility!
No
Itd be kinda boring, shes cool but she lacks charisma, we want the grittiness ans seedy stuff
This man really went to South Minneapolis.. holy sh*t. I spent time out in the Twin Cities, about 7 years. The natives out there are not to play with... both Ojibwe and Lakota.
Mdewakanton Sioux 🪶💪🏽
it is not that bad 😭😭
Lmfao dude South Minneapolis is fine, 4 blocks away theres a 60yr old white dude riding a street bike. I go through this neighborhood 3-4 times a week and its so much nicer and safer than South Chicago. To anyone reading this: Minneapolis is not a war zone and if you actually spent time there you'd say its one of the nicest cities you've been in.
@THRMLVZN that's abit rich. There are armed robbery daily by kid 8 to 20 years old. Real nice city
@@THRMLVZN It's not fine at all. Non residents can not travel there at night anymore. I've personally seen the decline of the Cedar and Stacks area over 15 years. Why do people compare hoods like its a competition, got nothing else going comparing how many people get robbed or killed in a city that was once much safer.
Shinning light on the Indigenous community is real af, respect.
Yea shows how weak they are and forgotten the faces of their fathers
How is it real? I work for the cherokee in stillwater oklahoma, they got tons of CASH, if your an indian and broke its your own peoples fault
@@joeydiaz5037you know nothing swine. N MINNEAPOLIS REPRESENT Boozhoo aniin.
@@darkfafnir4389what’s up with you who made you a fool
@@joeydiaz5037nah punk not all Indians are the same
I’m only 1 minute into this video and all I can say thank you for sharing this! From someone who grew up in Minneapolis!
Solid vid Tommy, good job shinning a light on a community that does not get enough coverage. Appreciate your variety of content lately. Keep it up brotha.
The fact that we get free videos on TH-cam by Tommy is truly a gift; keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👏👏👏
May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people.
Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deal, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 🤷
Tommy's the best!
Well said...Glory of the real story
I learn a lot from his videos.
'Slavery, Genocide, Colonialism & Colonization' are evil things done by evildoers.. You can't discover a place if people are already there for 20,000 long years.
Native Americans came from Asia 20,000 years ago when Europeans came from the Middle-East some 40,000 years ago.
This land is their one and only ASSET. Their beloved motherland that their ancestors forebears had lived through thick and thin, and endured through hardships of all sorts for so long. With their main ASSET being taken away from them, their IDENTITY, their DIGNITY, their POPULATION and most of all, their FUTURE are all but gone.That's a sad truth indeed. 😔 🤷
All they Native American people need is their beloved motherland back, the lands that their ancestors' forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for tens of thousands of years.
May I ask, why not let Native Americans have Europe, since Europeans have had both North/South America Continents already; a fair deal?
Remember the saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it too" and "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do". 🤷
'Slavery, Genocide, Colonialism & Colonization' are all evil things done by evildoers. 😔
Speaking of Native American people who have not occupied an inch of European land, or slaughtered a single European in Europe; while European Colonizers have occupied both North & South America lands and terminated 99.9% of Natives population.
Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia.
The 'land grab' is more of the same in the Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in the Asia-Pacific region. 😔 🤷
I went to college (UMN) near this neighborhood and was always warned to not go through it
I live in it. All of this stuff is true, but remember, little kids and grandmas live here. It is not so terrible that you can’t go through.
@@cj_danielappreciate the info
That's crazy, because the U is like 2 miles away from here.
@@jhin8054 The southern edge of the west bank campus is roughly 3000 ft from the Franklin/Hiawatha underpass, which is one of the crossings of Hiawatha into the Phillips neighborhood (and depicted in this video multiple times)
Wow that teacher Sol is doing such a wonderful job. Looks very young to be a teacher. Hello from the Navajo nation'!
My dawg Frankie love what you doing for the community & thank you to Tommy g for giving us a chance
Respect once again Tommy G. Not being afraid to go places and tell the stories that nobody else will go an do. Sad how far reaching the fentanyl epidemic has spread, young-old, wealthy or not it doesn’t care. The young lady is a great role model for her community and the youth. Keep up the good work. Prayers from Kainai Indian Reservation. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🇨🇦🇨🇦🫡✊🏾
Lived a few years in Powderhorn and passed the 35 encampment everyday. Much respect on covering this
It’s bad under that tunnel on 31st they gated up it and it still didn’t stop them
Now you need to go over North Mpls & the East Side of St Paul
Da real hoods of MN fr
yup go over north now
Go to the Hmong hoods in St. Paul.
Hmongs are the best ppl!
Wassup Dosia
We got Tommy G in little earth before GTA6. Tommy you should check out on of the powwows.
We've had the same problems in Canada unfortunately. You should make a video on the indigenous in the prairies provinces
winnipeg especially
Def should make a Winnipeg north end vid
Come to the northside bro I’ll show you around and we can get some northstar burgers
Treated like shit on our homelands by the imports. We survive.
@@Idk-gn6bhsaskatchewan, my home province.
Thank you for talking about the natives! We aren’t talked about much, but there’s a lot to be told. People need to be educated about the natives and how they live. The good and bad parts, so again thank you for sharing something!❤
You should cover the indigenous in Canada. Winnipeg, Regina or a reserve
no
@@manifresh1264White Cat Huh "Cat noise"
@@manifresh1264 ?
Agreed
Yes frrr
tommy g is a good dude. we all want to see the Native American communities thrive in this country
Thank you for sharing this! MN local myself this was wild to see.
Fr bro
Thank you for shedding light on native Americans. We don’t usually get an opportunity for our voice, I truly do appreciate you and I hope one day to meet you Tommy !
Wouldn’t have found out about you if it wasn’t for Agent00
grand portage is an amazing place i’ve been able to talk with the tribe there before when i was a kid. i would do canoe trips up there and did the grand portage trip when i was 13 - they’re very kind and isolated people honestly envious of their simple lives
I appreciate you for shining light on my people 💪🏽 Mdewakanton Sioux 🪶
Y’all rich ass are not in the proj 🤣🤣😂
I honestly saw the title and wanted to shake my head but seeing the video this was actually done very tastefully.
Donated to the community garden. Thanks for sharing these stories!
Aye finally a spotlight on something that's so close to my heart, Emilio on this one, that's family and a genuine good person to know. Pride to the people of little earth, growth and positivity to all! ❤
"Finally" Bruh the Native issue has been talked about for decades...
Thanks for spreading light on the issues within Minneapolis and for directly aiding my city through that go fund me Tommy… class act
That’s my city I grew up at that park I ate at the church growing up!!! Mann that makes me wanna go home!!!
Ivan Redday is my cousin. When i lived in the cities i would visit him and his siblings which i’m close with, i miss him very much and think about him often! #IvansWorld
Ended up here partying in the middle of the night. Called for 3 cabs because we had about 15 people leaving at once. Only one driver came, so he kept having to take us 4 at a time, over and over. Nobody else would do pickups there.
Tommy G thank you for your hard work always providing hard hitting news.
I been waiting on the . Minneapolis videos since I saw you w Bruce rivers , this is a much needed shine on the natives man tbh we don't know enough of that history and what happened to all the natives and the reservations alot of missing ppl in those areas.
loved the part of you giving advice to the guy that just got out.. it’s never too late to change 👊🏻
Anyone else from Minneapolis?
Naz Reid. 👁️🌲👁️. Salute
I got scars all over my body. Including a slash across my neck. I'm an army soldier from the m.n national guard. They said I look too cute to have such a wound. I was also hit by a truck when I was 5yrs old.
I grew up in the Philips community, just outside of Little Earth. We lived in the MIWRC building in the 90's to early 2000's. Southside we outside! ❤️🖤💛🤍

As someone who has been on and off fetty for 4 years, I've gotten clean time but sometimes i slip up.

I promise no matter how dark of a spot you're in you can make it out, even if you think your life isn't worth it keep that narcan.

Delivered new flooring to that project in the mid 90's I was carrying roles of carpet out of a van and putting them by doors to be installed in the apartments, and residents would come and crap on the carpet o their neighbors if they liked that color better to claim it as there own. Just a little insight to how people have always been there.
I hope Minneapolis treated you well grew up in this area excited to watch the video
hell yeah tommy g this is wats up frfr, im native and used to live in milwaukee on the south side 16th & grant from 2011-2016 and moved back here to the rez in michigan, i been following and subscribed to u for almost 2 years now and happy to see that u made it to the native american community, u definitely need to do more videos on other reservations and gangs (native mob-used to be native vice lords, latin kings, native style, native gd, native crips, native bloods)

Hi Tommy, I didn’t know you were polish. I’m polish too, living abroad for a very long time now. Great work with your videos. Thank you for your content.
Grew up in East Phillips, right next door to Little Earth. Moved to Chicago (Bridgeport) and there’s less gunshots and heroin addicts
For real...

She’s on a right path trynna stop kids into getting into trouble. Protect her at all cost🙏🏼💯

Congratulations Toomy g for 2m subscribers ❤❤
Happy to see the stories of Native Americans
80, 000 in the first 3 hrs... Tommy is the GOAT Every upload is a banger and I find myself constantly waiting for your next vid to drop. I got so much respect for you bro, you are one of the only ones on TH-cam showing raw footage of what it is really like for Native Americans. Keep doing you.
Mad love from a Lunape /Anishnaabe in Ontario 🇨🇦
Alex at 5:23 - that's a good man right there. Much respect to you sir.
Who ever dose the editing needs a raise the videos are getting better and better
Are you the editor😂😂
Whoever does the editing is doing a good job
Is there a new camera operator? Some shots are super disorienting. Wild zooms, aperture changes, shakey frames. What happened this project?
Thanks for shedding light on the Native American Tribes Tommy. Love your videos. You should come to the SMSC WACIPI (Powwow) next month in Shakopee Minnesota August 16-18 you’ll love it!
If you don’t change the cycle you’ll always be caught in the same circle, you, your kids and there kids. I worked my ass off to provide for my kids to give them a better life. But you have to be willing to change yourself and your ways💯
When grandma rose was talkin about Totem Town I tripped out. I was there twice 😂 - C1 and C3
😂😂😂 ikr. My cousins used to go to redwing for stealing cars
So glad to get here at the 3 min upload mark. Get way too excited for Tommy G vid uploads lol

No Lie, Tommy G's video's are some of my favorite video's that I look forward to the most. It's some of the best boots on the ground coverage that we see anymore these days. The interactions with people, the filming, the editing. The quality is unreal. I wish we could see Tommy G become president or help run our country at least. It's very clear he cares a lot about our country and it's people. Just really appreciate the work you do man and your team
I noticed that the music was a bit to loud at some points, its still a great vid though. Tommy your the goat
Big dogs gotta clean they camera lens.
thank you for making videos like this!
Tommys goofy ah face in these thumbnails kills me 😂
You made my Tuesday stressful I was waiting for your upload brother
Tommy I love how your channel has changed. You’ve come along way from sus raps in the hood. I’m so proud of you!!! Keep on rocking 🎉🎉🎉

You can js search up “ Nawayee Center school “ i go there and im full Mexican 😂

Bottom line: Life is about choices. Some are good. Other's are bad. People can break the chain of poverty is the right choices are made. Say no to drugs and alcohol kids.
@@bbbae5968 easier said than done. Especially when you don’t have the resources, guidance, and/or have mental shit going on (ex. PTSD)

Been a huge fan for 6 months Tommy. Maybe you could do a video in Alaska since i'm half Athabaskan. Check out Skagway or White Horse. My grandma loved those places as a kid.
I lived in little earth and so did some of my family. It’s wild! Good memories and bad!
That's dope Tommy I recommended this he actually went there awesome shit Tommy G in Little Earth South Side Minneapolis stand up!
Hell yeah. He was outside my house and I didn’t even know it. I was watching that white car at the beginning of the video from my window till it left
Live in Minneapolis, not near this but often drive by it, def a hot spot and folks living in absolute poverty, these folks deserve better
after seeing a ton of videos like this, even about other reservations, I think the huge issue that no one really talks about is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Fetal Substance Exposure and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome and its lasting effects on development. It turns a child, at no fault of their own, into a potential time bomb of multiple social & developmental issues that present in aggressive ways, that can get worse depending on genetics, epigenetics and the environment around them (support, care, friends) and then if they themselves get exposed to substances and alcohol, is really takes it up a notch further. It's not just a pure poverty issue, a government issue or a historical issue. It's a now issue that is being propagated by parents right before, during and shortly after pregnancy.
That needs to be talked about in every community. Look at Chrisean rock and her fam. They all look and act like they have fas. If you watch ac video about fas there are just as many whites kids as there are black kids and there will be a couple native kids in there
can we kiss
