I AM INDIGENOUS...MI’KMAQ PROUD FROM NB CANADA...I AM NOT FROM CANADA.. CANADA IS FROM US. WE WERE HERE FIRST
Fun fact: indigenous peoples does not mean (as i first thought) that one people lived there before others came. Take Sweden were Germanic peoples ancestors came to Sweden around 15 000 years ago and the Sami peoples came around 2500 years ago but the Sami peoples are still the indigenous peoples of Sweden. How? That depends on whom you ask because indigenous peoples means different things to different countries and different organisations. I just wanted to share this for those who like me thought that indigenous peoples was the first peoples in one place.
would that be the Samarians ? All of us on earth are part of the 12 Tribes of Israel- whom were scattered around the earth after the fall of Babylon.

You're right that's not what it means but we were in fact on this land first regardless of the meaning..
No, it means a continous culture over a long time. It's unfair because some of us are indigenous. We just can't prove it. Just have to keep it to ourself and be proud anyway of who we are.
I am proud of my tribal culture Love from Indian Bhil Tribe
Thank You for getting straight to the point.
I just have a few things to say, and one is that I am sorry for not doing research and taking things by what was being told to me. now that I know better,, I just want to say I am so sorry for not researching and just by going by what I am told. After that, I took a history class during the summer with tears in my eyes after learning about the history of the Native Americans. I will never be able to stop apologizing to you and your people. I am so sorry. I'm also a brown/black person. I just want to put that out there. because I think I know some of your battles and what you have had to deal with for so many decades.
Sheila M wait what are u sorry for? what did u say to offend? what did YOU do?
Mark Whitfield Black Brown people are the original native Americans indigenous to America.
Spare your sappy sympathies for those who actually deserve it.
Idegonous means being born to the land. This makes me ill... looking at a people that wete colonized and begging for equal rights in their own land!! Originally owned by aristocrats(people of money)and tossed into politics!
Tell me about it. The real definition of American is indigenous Copper colored
The definition of “black” is pale and deficient. Crazy. Everybody is okay with pushing the true natives down to the bottom. When we are the ones who have been here for over 200,000 years.

"Indigenous"
Being Indegenous to me means being a guardian and caretaker of my tribal places as other are to thiers, looking after the land and environment, and having access to generations of advanced knowledge and cultural richness and the power of the ancestors, resources, and to become a powerful ancestor for my descendants.

A 'guardian and caretaker'? Like the fools who blocked a train in British Columbia so that people would have to drive home instead of taking the greener option? Yeah, great idea: throw a few tons of carbon right into the air, will ya?

where are these free houses you speak of? i'm sure the 29% of un-housed people in Canada that are Indigenous would like to know. the 18.8% of our Indigenous people living on the poverty line too.
First nation, native, indigenous call it by any other name than the truth 4th world nation
Talk to people who live beside the reserves, you'll get quite a different take on the native peoples but that doesn't fit the narrative the Government wants you to hear.
Actually your comment fits the government narrative.

Everyone seems to scream, "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!" Not every white person wants to steal someone else's culture and claim it as their own. As a first generation Canadian, I see other cultures that are beautiful and amazing, but for fear of being labelled a culture thief, I don't indulge in, contribute to, borrow from, receive inspiration from, question, or even look at said culture. If it isn't mine, I have been trained to see, turn my head, and mind my business, in case my questions are seen as having ulterior motives, and heaven forbid, insulting someone. Just because my skin colour is white, does not mean I am your enemy, or that somehow I am out to hurt you. I am sorry if my skin colour leaves a rancid taste in your mouth, but please understand, I have done nothing to you, to give you a reason to hate me.
"Namelessandfaceless" -- Do you really think any of us are so pathetic that we are focusing our energy on you, and you alone? That when we say white people are the problem, which they are, that that means "every single white person no matter what they do"? You can start being an ally by saving your white tears and saying, yeah, Colonization happened due to my Ancestors, and what I can do to help is stand by N8Vs in all they do.
What is worse than cultural appropriation is cultural genocide, and that is what happens when white folks refuse to see that everything white people do here that is NOT in resistance to the dominant (imposed/colonial) culture CELEBRATES that culture, and is thus anti-N8V. Your way of life, as you live it, comes at the deeeeeep price of the N8V lives and Lifeways that were forcefully reduced towards entire elimination. It is only through fighting have we ever been able to be treated fairly by whites, because whites have never listened to us.
Reasonable people are never greedy, and greedy people are never reasonable. Colonialism has always been about greed and intolerance to Lifeways that are not conducive to white imperialism.
Can you at least admit that?
@@pippenstein And if 'standing' by N8Vs 'in all that they do' means also agreeing to their self-destructive behaviors...?

They Are Not Indigenous. They Came From Mongolia And Other Eurasian/Asian Countries During The 9th And 10th Century And Are Majority Proto-Mongoloids Or Mixed With True Indigenous. This Is Well Documented In The 10th Century Mongol Novel Fusang Translated In The 13th Century.The Break Down Of The Word Indigenous: "Indi" means Black And Genous Means Belonging Too. They've Been Here For A While Longer Than The White Man, But This Land And Every Land's Real Indigenous, Autochtonous, Land Elders Are The Dark Hue Melanated Peoples.

I am indigenous,india
I Am Indefinitely From The The Tribe Who Crossed The Red Sea,, Ancient Astec,, History Of The Love And Faith From Ancestors Forever,, Thanks,
someone help me/educate me i’m confused and this video didn’t help as much as i was hoping. i was talking (on my instagram story) about how i look like a regular white girl but i am actually puerto rican. like my great grandfather immigrated here to the Us from puerto rico. and a girl replied & called me indigenous. should i take offense? what is she tryna say? should she even be calling me that? i’m puerto rican. i don’t have any indian in me. i really just am having trouble understanding this word and i want to understand it so i don’t offend anyone and because someone is calling me it.
Hi! Sounds like that girl was misinformed. Indigenous usually means being a part of the ethnic group that lived on that particular land first, before any other groups immigrated or colonized it. There were native groups living in puerto rico for thousands of years before Spanish colonizers arrived and exterminated them. From what you've said, you're Puerto Rican without any native heritage, so you're hispanic/latinx. I hope this helps! :)
You just experienced a snowflake trying to be politically correct, I like to just identify as my first name. I wish everyone would.
I'm indigenous English.

I am indigenous in india
Im proud to be tuguy
I have no land or people. I am connected to no one and nothing. I am a product of colonialism and capitalism. I have no culture. I have no home. My family was in this land before Canada was a country but they are not Indigenous to it. My ancestors have not lived in Europe for hundreds of years. Elders and Aunties taught me about The Creator, Raven, Sacred Cedar, and Residential Schools but I don't belong. Please assimilate us. We are not pretenders but we want to be part of First Nations. Your drums are my heart beat. Please help us all.
I'm indigenous from India
Telangana state kumram bheem district
sorry not the same. Hindustan only became india recently, you guys were always known as Hindustan, indian was originally applied to the people of west and east indies. FACTS
North American Aborignal Society of Canada No it wasnt. Columbus wanted a shorter route to INDIA by sailing west from Spain. Name given by the Greeks I think mispronoucing a sanscrit word or something incorrectly originating from the indus river. has been in use in Greek since Herodotus (4th century BCE) I have been to Spain. Its a country full of white people that say its because we look like the people of india to them. Oh if you have no historical knowledge on columbus (apparently) well he came with the spanish and he died in seville spain.
In 1492, east coast indigenous peoples discovered a ship of Europeans lost at sea. 😄
You from the India subcontinent in South Asia are the actual Indians and always will be.
The European seafaring colonizers looking for your landmass, had wayyyy too much pride to ask for directions, or admit to being lost. Not even remotely close to their destination! 😆
And that's why natives are still called Indians to this day. Bloody ignorant pride! Too much effort to rewrite their history books it seems. They were NEVER Indians to begin with. 😉
Hey. How are ya?
We are the Aboriginal indigenous niji Indians of America. Any other name or title without those words in it is a lie. We been here still here and ain’t going nowhere. 🏹🏹🏹🔥🔥🔥🎯🎯🎯🦅🦅🦅

Oh, I can think of a number of meanings synonymous with 'Indigenous' - and not one of them is flattering.
Happy Columbus Day everyone!
@Aron Canada is not a real country anyway so it doesn't matter.
I am a indigenous I live in a fist nation in garden hill in Manitoba
I like it here a Lot but when we were in Winnipeg some cops told us to get the f+++ out of there town that was in Winnipeg a Lot of kids were crying, it was our land but they took it away from us
Sharil Editz coming from First Nation Dene of Treaty 8, “First Nation” just means Natives with treaty rights.. I think you’re full of it. Lmao
walt cobb is right.
Why am I on this side of the Internet ❔

would you like to make a claim based on your race?
i didnt get a single thing from this video because i was too busy laughing at the music.
It’s weird cause it’s not even our real music 🤪
How do u know if your indian
I still don't understand what native means. like native Americans also descended from Africans just like other humans were. So then they migrated from Asia through a land bridge a few thousand years ago. So native Americans weren't originally from america as in they evolved in america but instead migrated. I think when someone defines indigenous I think it means first settlers because native Americans settled the Americas before anyone else did. Okay so when they settled they became native even though they migrated to the Americas instead of evolving there in the first place. So what makes a native more native than say a European who also didn't originate in america but migrated here just at a more recent time. I'm still confused as what it means to be a native to a land so I hope someone else does
More generation equals more history to the Land, one just has more history than the other, keep in mind many of our languages are born in the Americas with little to no connection to anywhere else, English is from Europe, You can understand a british person. Although I don't believe one is more American than the other. In Ecuador there are no indian reservations so they can get a monthly check for being indian. We got ecological reserves and anything in it is protected by law including human inhabitants. The afro-ecuadorians are members of an ecological reserve, they did not have to be indian. There is also forming a commitee and buying acres of reserved land out of your own pocket. That basically means anyone can buy a reservation so to speak. its just not racially based. Which I agree fully with.
They dug up Geronimo's bones believing he was Moses so what does that tell you'se all the rooster.
This is an odd video to have a project about... still great very well said, real easy project
It means looking outwardly white Latino Asian yes because it’s not on the outside that counts but what’s on the inside....oh wait you can’t use DNA hmm wonder if you can use DNA to determine other ethnicities🤔hmm just can’t use it to determine “indigenous” ancestry ok gotcha😉
Yeah you cannot determine Latino either with DNA. For starters it ain't a race, its just a regional term nowadays, short for latin american, deriving from the roman word Latin. Yep, celia cruz is a black "latina" William levy is a white "latino" and george Lopez is a mestizo(mixed amerindian) "latino". peruvian president fujimori is a Japanese "latino". What do they have in common? they are all from latin america. What is different about them? none of them are the same race. The majority of Latin America is RACIALLY Mestizo not Latino nor Hispanic. Latino and Hispanic is NOT in our demographics, not even in Mexico.
"Sharing my traditions with every person I can" unless that tradition is art, and the person is white.
I assume you're referring to cultural appropriation, but that would be the non-indigenous person who the traditions were shared with turning around and presenting them as their own, profiting off them.
bussche+ Except in reality the artist in question was shut down because her art was inspired by an indigenous artist. Her art exhibit gets shut down for her skin color not matching the artwork. If that's not racism, then I don't know what is.
badmojo420 inspired by sounds like a cop out.
bussche+ Why is indigenous art so taboo that people of other races aren't allowed use their style?
badmojo420 Because of Canada's history.

Indigenous: when you are born here, it means 100% legit you are from here.
Unlike every one else 😄
Genetically, it means specific adaptations to the climate, altitude, topography and the ability to better digest the local flora and fauna
I was born in the US. I'm 48. Therefore I'm indigenous.
@@davidsirmons that level of elementary logic ensures that you're missing the larger context.
Your ancestors aren't from here, thus no genetic adaptations like they do, especially with the indigenous flora

Then no-one is indigenous, to any land other than Africa, where humans began.
It's either that....or being indigenous is a qualifier meaning a people have lived in a given land for long enough that generations think of it as theirs. And "native" indians slaughtered the true aboriginal people who were here far before them. There are cave paintings of tall, black-skinned and white-haired people being surrounded by red-skinned Indians on horseback, the indians firing arrows into them. These people were likely from Australia, as those features are common to the aboriginals there as well, and no-where else. As not a single trace of that bloodline exists on the north american continent today, it's clear the Indians wiped them out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
trolls are out in full force hahaha
This is painful to watch.
Why?
Free housing, free money, getting into courses on lower marks, getting jobs on lower qualifications and if all else fails having jobs created specifically only for Indigenous people. The gravy train keeps rolling on.
And as for the free money you're talking about are you talking about the $5 we get a year 🤣😭 you can have mine if you're going to sit here and cry ... That's only $50 after 100 years 😭
@@BxbyRxmbo Rubbish. Abstudy, free housing other races are not entitled to eg Aboriginal Housing Victoria, free dental Victorian Aboriginal Health Services etc, special loans, monies to start businesses other races can't get, free/very cheap pharmaceuticals nobody else gets etc. The gravy train rolls on.
It means living on state welfare, having privileges for the ethnicity your were born, and being overly represented in Canada.
That is what being Indigenous mean.
