Horses were brought by the Spainards but Native people took it to another level just as they did Frybread.. Everything is done with a passion, respect and sacredness. We love and respect our Animal brothers and Sisters..
Rodeos do not scream love and respect to me.
@@Supernatural2332 then I guess it sounds to me like you've got some research and educating to do because it clearly sounds to me like you don't know anything about rodeo at all
@@pitgroove.37_66 Replying to a year-old comment? Ok.... And I've done my research, plenty of it. Unless your idea of respect and love is terrorizing living beings for a crowd of drunk hicks, not an ounce of it is shown to rodeo animals.
@@Supernatural2332 see it's not just doing online research or watching videos and getting your facts from there. Absolutely not!
It's also about talking to people who are very very familiarized with the sport of rodeo, such as rodeo association representatives, the rodeo athletes themselves, hell even equestrian instructors who know about the sport of rodeo and/or even are in charge of sponsoring their local rodeo!
Oh yeah BTW you're talking to somebody who has not only met the criteria listed above, but as also been around the sport of rodeo his entire life!
@@Hidueje Wow. I had no idea that rodeos were only attended by Natives. Good job at completely misinterpreting what I said. What occurs at rodeos is not in any way, shape, or form loving animals. It's abusing animals to make money, and people of all races do it. Anyone involved in that system is profiting off of fear and pain. Go watch a few videos of calves getting their necks broken and horses getting whipped. Does that seem like loving mother earth?
I’m just getting started riding bulls and broncs. They left out how hard it is financially to start rodeoing. But I’m sure if for most people once they get out in the arena the first time they’re hooked. I’m definitely addicted to the bulls and saddle bronc.
All the people who think this is "cruel" to these animals, need to look up Spanish Bullfighting.THAT is a cruel and disgusting 'sport'.
I grew up in rodeo country up in Washington State, and guess what? Some of the bucking horses can be ridden regularly outside of the ring without bucking or hating being saddled up. They are trained to buck in the ring, and trust me, if a 1,000 pound animal truly does NOT want to enter the ring to buck... That animal is NOT going into the shoot. There is a huge different between being skittish for a moment and truly terrified. Even race horses get skittish entering the gates, but I don't see anyone here saying THAT'S a bad sport, or "terrifying" the animal.
As for the baby bulls and such getting caught and tied, those animals are handled every single day. They are affectionate and know they are loved. What happens in a rodeo doesn't scar the animal for life. It is painless, they don't feel pain the same as humans do. Humans are an exceptionally pain-sensitive breed of animal. Yes, we are animals. Intelligent, articulate and adaptable, but still a type of species. The moment those animals are untied and brought out of the ring, they are fed treats, patted, and given attention. There is nothing inhumane going on in the typical American rodeo. It would be illegal if it harmed the animals, like any type of animal pit fighting is illegal. Animal Cruelty is a felony, America doesn't stand for inhumane torture and harming of animals unnecessarily. People would not allow these type of activities going on if the situations were honestly detrimental to these animals.
DO. YOUR. RESEARCH. Please, I encourage you. Go talk to local rodeo participants, meet and pet their animals. Look up the laws on the events. Don't judge and trash this type of thing, unless you actually know what you are talking about. Stop being negative. I am a Cherokee/Scottish American. I fight against BSL and stand for Animal Rights. I know how it feels to HATE and LOATH a human who harms an animal or a person who hunts for fun instead of for food. I appreciate peoples love and concern for these animals. But there is NOTHING abusive or traumatizing happening to ANY of the animals used in these sporting events.
thank you! ! people who are saying this is cruel are mor I Bs and have no clue. I am country at heart but live in the city and I agree with you. if an animal doesn't want to do it, it wont.
Calm down who cares only Liberal snowflake s r the problem
Bullfighting in Spain is not a sport per se, its an art form
all these people that say this animal abuse, you do realize that these animals are not in pain at all? the only pain Bucking horses feel is the riders spurs which (feels like a pinch), the only thing roping horses feel is just the saddle being tight (feels like a tight belt) and the wieght of the rider (like a heavy backpack) and that's just a few seconds, and Bulls have skin which is 7 times as thick as humans and all they feel is that occasional pinch, and 9/10 of these animals are very willing to do these events especially saddle horse which often run to the horse trailer to go to a rodeo, honestly us Cowboys 99% of the time we get way more hurt that the animals we compete with
thank you! someone gets it! I actually don't do this stuff, but I would give almost anything to do it!
The people that say that stuff DON"T realize it, because they've never had the sack to try a rodeo event. Instead of finding something constructive that gives them a sense of accomplishment, they negatively lash out at those of us that do it because then they feel like they have a purpose in life. It'd be a pretty sad existence, I imagine...
Justin Penner no matter what you this is violence and getting pinched would get really fucking annoying ok and are you saying getting slammed on the ground does not hurt. The reason you love this is you have the power to do this to them and that feels good find a another hobbie
People don't understand just how massive and powerful and tough these animals really are. They aren't little puppies.
Cowboy Up
Sweet video, as a fellow Navajo its nice to see reports of the reservation, most people still think we all live in teepees and stuff. I can tell you I'm in college, have a well paying job, and am not a "silent injun." The part about the running was what I was told to do as well. To the general population: please respect us, this is our native land after all...
Last Hawaii State Rodeo about 1955. Bill Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy) Rodeo about 1948 old Honolulu Stadium
This is a good portal of the Navajo Nation.
Made me homesick. I love Vice!
My 4 late bros n I were raised on our grandpa's ranch, we're Shoshone-Paiute, our Reservation is half NV/ID. They had loved ranch life, especially when it came to their horses. During the summers they'd ride out to the desert n herd a group of wild mustangs to the ranch, my bros, cousins n friends wud ride them n pick the horses they wanted n wud train them. They also rode in various rodeos in NV n ID, bareback, saddle bronc n cow, they were also great in various sports, especially boxing, they loved the adrenaline rush! I loved riding horses with my youngest bro n had also wanted a horse of my own, but they were always so protective n didn't want me to get hurt, they were old fashioned. Unfortunately I had lost my bros in 1980 to 88 to suicides n murders, I miss n love them dearly.
it's great pieces like this that keep coming back for more, thanks vice
We learned how to rodeo from the Spanish. Baseball is not the American sport Rodeo was the first sport. It will never end. I rodeo and love it
Yes old mexicans leave this kind of life style greetins!
no the rodeo has its origins in mexico not the united states
edmundo espinosa Thats why I said Spanish duhh
when you hit the dislike button, you're expressing dislike for the video. if you don't like rodeo, express it in the comments. i thought it was a good and interesting story! just because you don't agree with the content of the coverage, doesn't mean its a bad story deserving of negative feedback.
I hope they're all doing great.
Is so sad how the real America are living a very hard life
Yatahay, good riding brothers
Nice video.
These aren't the last rodeos. There's still tons of them.
awesome and loved it! what genuinely nice people
Some people (i.e. most of the commenters here) really don't understand the importance of cultural preservation. Too worried about fucking cows. Farming cows is wrong because the way they do it causes unnecessary damage to the environment and is unnecessarily painful for the cattle but that's not the point of this video. The point of this video isn't to glorify or demonize the lifestyle, they are just showing you what happens for informational purposes... Show some courtesy and be polite...
What are Navajos NOT good at??? It seems like any thing Navajos turn their hand too they do well. Code talkers, rodeo Cowboys, and artists everything seems to be done well if they are done by a Navajo.
Racism.
They are the best at Drinking and gambling
@@a.ortega4505 no, if we were good at drinking we wouldn't be dying of sirociss.
@@userlam8519 Good but sad comeback
did levis give him a new jacket? looks pretty new
This make me want to get away from the city,the lights, pollution, & just be free of modernity & live a "simple" life. They truly know their free & appreciate what "hard living" has to offer.
Think I'm in love with barrel racer. Good luck Cory Rose!
Thank you!!!!!I Love horses!!!!!
Thanks.
There is a landing party on the shore. Freedom in the corner watching the empire fall.
That dude has good taste in music.
Notice the Danzig sticker on the car :P
America is such a beautiful place. Too bad it was colonised by the most ruthless, commerce-driven, cruel nation in the entire world.
fuck off
Fox Blue River you fuck off
Rome, Russia, and Germany, have been responsible for some of the most cruel and ruthless acts of all time... Take a history lesson. Aside from that, it says "Rodeo" right in the title... If you don't like it, don't click on it.
Romans were in the UK and Ireland long before America was colonised, so in a way, they are your very distant ancestors, at least culturally. Russia has never eliminated a whole race in its colonies (I myself come from a former Russian colony), neither did the Germans (don't get me wrong, I do not support what the Nazis have done, BUT you have to admit that the Germans have never eliminated a whole race of people to occupy its land and make profit from it). The colonists in the US did, however.
And by the way, I have nothing against rodeos per se. I just hate the fact that so many Native Americans died because of your greed and ruthlessness
My greed and ruthlessness?!?!? It was predominantly French and English that came to America hundreds of years ago and did what they did - it sure wasn't "me'. Never-mind Germany or Rome, Russian leader Joseph Stalin was responsible for between 20 million and 60 million deaths of innocent humans... That doesn't count or what? Also the Native American "race" was NOT eliminated - I personally know many of them. I'm not even American I'm Canadian, but don't run down other countries for past events when most other countries have dark moments in history too..
Sweet life thumbs up to ya'll out ther 👍🤝👌🤙💪
What lovely people!
You know. Haha literally said it about a hundred times but seems like a good guy.
Ranching and rodeo have been a way of life for centuries and will stay around longer yet,
you don't like it don't watch it........
Funny enough, I just finished the game clocking 121 hours, and the last place I visited was the Cazador nest south of the dam.
foarte tare💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
That is so nice
Trying to get a hold off vice groups
An instinctual, panic response to the flank strap, is why the broncs buck.
Any horse will buck to get something "strange" off it's back. The broncs need a flank strap to force them to "perform". They often need a few zaps with a HotShot, too, because 99% hate their "job".
AnimalLeftist they don’t hate it. They are bred for it and most are treated like royalty outside the chutes.
these native people have lived off the land and off animals all their lives, and the rodeo is on of the few things they have left. you would deny them the right because you think these animals are sad? how about we treat PEOPLE ethically before we think about the rights of animal.
I'm a barell racer as far as these comments go please stop...
Barrel racer or English rider?
I guess the grass is always greener.
Cool shit nice video!
Amo esse esporte!!!
My Favorite Sport Is a Basketball.
⛹🏾♂️🐄🇺🇸🥤🪐💙⭐️❤️🛻
They tell you because the majority of people are not vegetarian or have not considered being vegetarian, its a way of getting the message out there, and we all eat everyday, the topic of food will come up, that is why they tell you.
I love the Mexican rodeos too!! I'm all way up here! Should be metal for the Indians.
Not "Indian" you ignorant f**k.
Some people have different options on what they see, some people see abuse some see a life style. We got to all cowboy up, you got to do what u love
somebody get this man an engine
Ironic that native americans are still in forefront of what is going on in the real rural america they can kick us and take our land but we still survive and have a good way of life as good as we can make it
Its a great way of life, hard but looks like fun. Better than urban life. Crowds, smog and concrete everywhere. I feel deep inside I should have been a country boy. I guess at 53 its too late now!
Navajoe ! I remember dat ass - kickin' movie !
go up 2 effie mn ill show ya the last rodeo ull c sume tuff boys and what a party 4 a town of 90 people...
The Bronco Only Please.
🏀🐎🇺🇸🥤💙⭐️❤️🎶🛻
Ditch the bits. the way you Yank on the reins really hurts the horses mouth.
Shut up u swine
2020?
Amo ese esportd
Most rodeos treat the animals fine and there are veterinarians around if anything happens. There are only a small few of the total that use abusive practices which I dont condone. But just because there are a few bad apples doesn't make it right to ruin 100s of years of native tradition IMO. If you really are a vegetarian I take back calling you a pansy hypocrit.
why is that regardless where natives come from they always have the same accent? i lived on a reservation for nearly a year close to prince george in british columbia doing volunteer work at a co-op and all the people born on the res had the exact same accent as the natives in this vid. every other res ive visited has the same accent. anyone have a clue why?
Possible that the tribes you're familiar with are athabaskan which is a language group. Apache, Navajo, and several tribes in Canada and Alaska are also athabaskan.
This has nothing to do with my argument. The guy I was responding to said you never see strong vegetarians, which is false. George Laraque was a 6'3 260 pound enforcer in the NHL, he was vegan.
I never said humans aren't meant to eat meat, I said people can be vegetarian and still get all their necessary proteins and amino acids. I'm not a vegetarian I eat meat every day.
Damn you can hear the rez is in his voice lol.
It's good to see native girls taking a crack at Team roping. That's unheard of on my rez.
The participants I think would disagree. Semper fi, stay motivated petty officer.
You chose the wrong side of the argument, and made a terrible point. Rodeos are cruel, very, very cruel. The horses buck for a fucking reason.
Abuse! STOP DOING THIS AND STOP THIS CRUELTY!
your face is cruelty
That's cool.
It's not abuse
smh that's what they all think >.>
+♥AVAcado♥ fuck off
which is better american rodeo or spanish bullfight or both of them are cruel towards bull and horses .
Kyoya Lion Tategami actually rodeo is not a form of animals abuse, it’s more manly a sport, unlike bullfighting letting them get stabbed to death,
@@that3008 ok ... But still animal get hurts in these sports [ sorry for my poor English ]
Kyoya Lion Tategami actually they dint get hurt at all, the flanks and ropes are made out of a special rope fiber that don’t hurt the bulls at all since I am a bull and horse stock contractor
Kyoya Lion Tategami actually they don’t get hurt at all, the flanks and ropes are made out of a special rope fiber that don’t hurt the bulls at all though since I am a bull and horse stock contractor , besides was there ever a point where you have no job and your trying to look for one but find absolutely nothing, and you are trying to feed your family and pay bills.
@@that3008 ok
I really liked this- i'm going to use it in my ESL class regardless of the swear words. Nice...

GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!
Me to
you can lead a gift-horse with no name through the desert to water, and it will probably quench its thirst without too much provocation, but make sure not to assess the state of its dental hygiene until you get home.
Ya'ah'tee.
those bulls look pretty beast
as far as barrel racing
Technically, they are "in the States".
VICE should do a story on gay rodeos they're HUGE.
I love the mexican rodeo
I fucking love VICE
Last rodeos? What planet are you living on?
Chad Atwood “ last american “ native nations ..
GOD i wana spend 5years to 10years with this pack.
You are beautiful Cory!
these people don't seem 2 spend much time in front of a screen (with or without keyboard)
Yeah just watch VICE's documentary "The Scariest Debt Collector in the UK" that big dude is a vegetarian. And he's a big muscly bad ass.
bushpilot223 the fuck are you talking about
Iv seen enough, time for some Hardcore Pawn. Wish these ppl the best of luck.
You obviously don't know what you're talking about, there are grains and soy products that have all the different types of animo acids you would get from meat without the negative effects. I eat meat but I know a meatless diet is much healthier because I'm not ignorant, some meats are good but a meat eater is rarely healthier than a vegetarian. Many ufc fighters are turning to vegan diets because it helps their performance, these people know a hell of a lot more about nutrition than you or me.
super hardcore bro
Not for indians
When gates gets open one of the "operators" that seats behind on the top of the fence stretching the rope that is attached to horses or bulls genitals and this makes animal furiously bucking and jumping about. Belt before hint legs of horse or bull underneath has got a loop that squeezes privates. Enormous pain and frustration manifested with hint legs striking upwards when desperately trying to loose painful loop up. Cruelties? No way. Enjoy.
Where did you even learn that it was around their private parts?
Daaaaang cory rose baaaaad
i wonder 11 years later if she sold her horses due to the downfall of the economy.
Doubt it.
I live in Europe
Since when did I say that rodeos produce meat? The notion of which is absurd.
hy fuckin love shit I'm Navajo and thank you vice! Navajo nation!
It's okay
if you dont like the subject matter obviously you arent gonna like the video. thats what the dislike button is for, deciding whether or not you 'like' or 'dislike' what you saw. no one sees it till theyre already watching the video anyway so who cares
im a native and i say the exact same shit.
Arguments, please?
i didnt actually watch any of this i just commented haha
yo grandma
That boy is looking great, and I'm straight male.
and truthfully, its the Spaniards once again, this time in the guise of native tranquility.
is that pocahantas?! :D
My moms friend is in there :) earl tsosie jir :)
Rodeo is all about abusing animals. I don't think it deserves any attention like this. The people in the video are PROUD of abusing animals. It's not right.
Says the person that’s from a place that does bull fighting knowing that’s the true animal abuse
ditch the Levi's ad's. Levi's aren't American-- ALL made overseas.
