    Chills and tears with that chanting....the power and emotion in their voices is very overwhelming.

    basically a blanket ceremony...usually for when a boy becomes a man, he deserved every bit of it.

      Those beautiful blokes who comfort and rub his back after inducting him, letting him know that it’s alright, they know he is present in the moment and take him all the way through. It’s beautiful and real.

    Lol even I know the term native is derogatory ... Lots of ignorance here

    • @mrtomahawk27
      @mrtomahawk27 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Native just means original inhabitants. I think you might think its derogatory because people are always like "fuckin Natives!"

    Acting? I guess we'll never know. Sure looked like he had to work himself up to cry.

      Rella What makes you believe he would act like this? The guy's dying and he is taking amounts of the limited time he's got left to try and help native people out by giving them a voice to Canadians, not to make them feel bad, but to help them learn about Canada's dark moments and to reinforce the need to change things up north for the better.

      You sir are a first class piece of shit. This man is dying of a brain tumor while his wife is now dying of breast cancer after having beaten it once before. The time given for his disease to kill him is on average 12 to 18 months and he was diagnosed 12 months ago so he is on borrowed time from this point on. You think you are going to have to fake a cry being in his spot? Get a life and quit posting crap like this just keep it to yourself you are a fool and you make all who know you look just as foolish for being friends with such a lowlife as yourself.

      Rella, that's what YOU would do. You can't speak for others with your serious blindness. Take off your blindness.
