I'm on a healing journey and appreciate the sharing of ancestral wisdom. My Great Grandmother is my ancestor descended from the Blackfoot. I have sent prayers to the sun on eagles wings and feel the need to journey further down a path with my ancestors as guides. I wish to heal myself and my family and live more harmoniously with nature.
I am so amazed at this video. I remember as a little girl to be at a okan on the blood reserve. With that.old lady " rides at the door" it just brought happy memory, for me. 😊❤
god its just so cool to see that alot of this stuff hasnt changed, except maybe the clothing. I remember alot of this from my childhood in the 2000's to 2010s
What a great video for your family! That's fantastic to be able to see it for your family. My great-grandfather was a Piegan Blackfoot who was stolen from his family by Christian missionaries. The missionaries lied to the Indian Agent telling him that his family was not caring for him and were drunkards. He was my Aniyunwiya grandfather's favorite man to learn from. He gave me my NDN name, Kiasax when I had turned 11. My Agidoda, his son-in-law might have thought to have given me an Aniyunwiya name but deferred to his father-in-law. That is why I have a Piegan Blackfoot name though I am more Aniyunwiya than anything. They, my Agidoda and my great-grandfather told me my name meant Bear on the Left, but years after they had crossed over I spoke with a drum and singers from the Rez at Browning told me my name really meant Clumsy Bear or Awkward Bear. After thinking about it I had grown 7" over 5 months and my feet had gone from size 8 to 13. So I was Clumsy. Blessings to you and your family. Be well and safe.
so sad to see what a great nation we came from, reduced to our squalor which we live in now. These terrible reserves where even water is hard to come by, when we used to have a wealth of goods provided by the earth.

Do you have any real info or backing to what you're saying? The Blackfeet conception of power was called "natoji" (sun power).... so why couldn't the sun be equated to the creator for them?

I am confused by the allowance of the flag...and sickened. My ancestors have been killed by those responsible for this symbol.
The flag represents the Nation for which some young people have chosen to enlist as servicemen. What other flag could represent that country…? 🤔
Blackfeet
Pikuni
Blackfoot confederacy
Heart Butte
Hairy nose country
BIG SKY COUNTRY
