I met chuck billy at a small venue in n, Hollywood hills in 1992 with that kick ass album .I thought I was a big Mex Indian at 6,2 .this man was awesome, I knew he was preaching fer all us tribal people of color.i have been following this band since then.louie perez.testament is my mentor.
I'm a Kaygang native, from the southern lands of Brazil! The blood of all Native Americans is strong! Respect our history! Respect our territories! Respect our traditions, our ancestry and spirituality!
Not a Native American,im an European(slavic) but ever since i remember i loved and respected the Native American people. Stay strong and dont let them tear you down! Sending you strength!

Caps lock or anger =/= immaturity, but since you're being a smartass about it I'll humor you. Let's start with the realities bit. No, I don't know everything, but judging from your comments I can safely say I certainly know more than you. You're trying to tell me that demanding my own race apologizes for countless atrocities against people of color is racist? No, it's not. I'm allowed to be disgusted by history, and I am. I'm sickened by people who think they can play victim when they're a part of privileged, oppressive groups, even if they don't oppress themselves. Though I'm not going to give you the benefit of the doubt, seeing as your icon is literally a person putting the Jewish star of David into a trash bin. I dare you to tell me that's not blatant Nazism/antisemitism.
Oh please. Does any of you really comapre some historical battley between different tribes against the slaughter of hundreds and thousand of people? There is a bit of a difference between two tribes fighting each other with stone/bronze/iron weapons and a massacre done by people who are technologically advanced.
***** Kennewick Man is actually related to Umatilla people of North America, not europeans. This was discovered recently with the advances in DNA custody, so unfortunately you should very well indeed update your information.
***** either way, Europeans populated Europe 43,000 BC. the X mutation, which has been calculated to be 30,000 years at the least, would mean it had been seperated from Europe for a longer period of time than it actually was in Europe. Anyways what you are wrong about is the point of the video is not to be ashamed if youre white, the point is to show the discrimination of the California and United States governments against Indigenous peoples of the area, and the success of the restistance from the people. Chuck Billy's song Allegiance sort of reflects discrimination against white people but is not racist, and in fact is there to show the frustration and views of many of us. Some very ignorant and stupid people are racist against white people (or racist at all for that matter,) but come on, race doesn't really exist, its the 21st century.
I'm Seneca Iroquois from our Allegany Rez in NY... I think it's amazing that after everything our people have endured from Colonialism, Genocide and Assimilation that we are still here and have taken up the fight for our Mother Earth on multiple fronts. Not against only a "White" mentality but a global mentality which imo holds little regard for our Mother Earth and the generations that must live after us. I served four tours in the Middle East as a Soldier trying to live up to my peoples warrior traditions and in hindsight... it didn't leave me feeling like I had truly accomplished that by serving in the Army. It wasn't until I began protesting against those oil pipelines and fracking that I truly felt proud as a warrior... Taking on issues that not only effect us as Natives but all people in our lands and the world really... It was amazing to be among so many of our people bound together in a common cause. So to the young Native men and women I would warn there are plenty of causes us Natives can fight for and against here at home so be weary of enlisting in the U.S military to fulfill your desires to live up to our ancestors as warriors... There's plenty to fight for that doesn't require a M16 on our very own lands that can help you fulfill our warrior traditions. Be careful in deciding to loan them your strength to bring negativity into the world. Nya:weh
Testament is my favorite thrash metal. Native heritage is well preserved, and will continue to grow, no matter who tries to stop it. Metal head from Manitoba Canada here and native heritage is practiced a lot up here. Bang Your Head!
I am not Native American in blood, but I stand behind this message. My blood is Celtic/Germanic, but I do believe we are all one and I really love Native American culture. I actually learned the spirit dance, made medicine bags and have a totem animal and name. I actually believe my druidic ancestors were also medicine men and that the Celtic wheel cross nobody can explain was actually a medicine wheel. Look also at Northern European Saami culture. They are really close to Native American culture. The shaman drum ... White raindeer or white buffalo ... We are all one. We forget. Trouble, wars ... Be a warrior for what is right and never a universal soldier.
+Tanicia Killsnight I have absolutely zero native american blood in my veins. I'm as white as they come (sunburn sucks) BUT in all seriousness this song is amazing for so many reasons. Musically, and the message it says. Native Americans are disgustingly forgotten and swept aside. America Needs to understand and appreciate the hundreds of tribes who dominated the land before the greedy Europeans stole there land, yeah it happened can't deny it. If you know history you will appreciate this song regardless of skin color/ race ! Too the people who have Native blood running through their veins STAY PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE !!! and always stay metal \m/
Add a reply...[NO] Actually we share the same roots as you do. We belong to the same fucked up race of creatures that are not the products of Heaven OR Earth, but direct creations of the Creator of both Heaven AND Earth. You are my brother. Let us act as brothers should be not as Romulus and Remus.
Great video. I'm a Turkish and as much as i know that Native American people and we share the same genes.This means we are relatives. Whoever has this genes are always proud and honored people and also great warriors.
This video reminds me of stepping into Two Medicine River with my cousins on the Blackfeet reservation. Thank you Chuck for being another voice and more importantly, giving me an anthem to blast.
This song perfectly explain our situation... as first nations we’re standing alone in our fights for our rights, no ones helps us not the UN or other organisations. Only natives helps natives, we’re standing strong, united, loud and proud
But never forget, until the white man came along, your people had never seen or experienced the losing tribe getting rights. They were just annihilated. I only tell you this, because my whole life Ive only heard grievances from Native Americans. Always negative complaining. I think losing in war and then being here with benefits forever doesn't suck. I do admire your culture probably more than any other though.
@@donovincable5842 I realize you've only heard one side of the story but before the Native Americans were beaten, no loser in war had ever received any rights, only death. Even among themselves, stronger tribe beats a weaker tribe, they got nothing but killed. Some enslaved. I dont know of any country today that has given more to their Natives. Australia has them, Canadians have them, SLovakia...many many more. America has given them a lot here. But all we ever hear are grievances.
@@bellmeisterful Thinking that all native tribes were beaten in a war is just seeing one side of the story too or seeing to much western movies . Not all tribes fought the white men instead they just helped them, then gradually as the white men became more numerous in their territory just lose it or got taken adventage of.
Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall Whenever I’m pushed against the wall This white man’s world won’t tell me what to do Nowhere to run my native blood I wanna reach and touch the Sun Blistering my soul but I can’t feel You hear me say, get out of my way I’ll do it my own way Cross my path and get what you deserve I’m warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard I'm alone I won’t be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud Native blood Forever proud So God damn loud It’s me alone against the crowd Right or wrong it's the road that I must choose There’s no excuse Attitude Got something here that I must prove Live to win instead of born to lose I’m warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard So strong I won’t be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud native blood I never learned to walk Before I could crawl Whenever pushed I push back Not afraid to throw the first punch I’m never wrong cause I’m always right When I’m wrong, I won’t admit it Like the person your mother warned you about They broke the mold after I came out What gives me strength is my beliefs Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall I won’t be pushed against the wall This white man’s world won’t tell me what to do Nowhere to run, native blood I wanna reach and touch the Sun Blistering my soul but I can’t feel I’m warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard I'm alone I won’t be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud native blood I’m warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard So strong Oh I won’t be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud Native blood My native blood My native blood My native blood
That really gave me goozebumps. I did know the song, didnt see the video yet. Great song, great video and great band. Have been a fan since the beginning. Even though I'm white, I have a lot of respect for the Native people of the world. For those of you who don't know: Chuck Billy is of the Pomo Native Americans.
Everyone should be proud of their native blood. It doesn't matter if it's Native American, Hindu or Celtic. I am a proud Norseman and I show it, Everyone has roots. Be proud of them.
Wow...Testament has been one of my favorite bands since their first album...they are CRUSHING IT!! Chuck sounds like he is still 22. The production on the new albums is just FN awesome. Listen to this on a great audio system and it will melt your face off!! :} Thank you Testament for all the great songs and albums over the years. Please keep ripping it up for all of us!!
This is exactly why I love Testament! I have been a huge of Testament since 2000. Absolutely brilliant video clip and I really love the story it tells. I totally agree with Vlad Tepes...never be ashamed of your heritage. It is a part of who you are and always will be. I still remember when I first saw this video clip when it first came out. I had to show my whole family and they all loved it. I love all of Testaments music...they are heavy metal gods...\m/.
I think I Broke my neck listening to this song. It's such a great headbanging song and cd. Everything Testament does it fucken badass. New stuff is just as great as the old stuff.
Much love to all Native brothers and sisters from all Native Nations, Daka Taino a Boriken ( I am Taino from Boriken ( Puerto Rico)) Seneko kakona tiao ( abundant blessings my friends )
as a 1st nations person I cant help but cry with pride this video is the 1st ever to tell it as it is with our ppls the strugels we go thro in life td in modern times oh I have awlways loved Testament sins alooong time ago but this albume n this song made me love them Waaay more :)
Native Americans are just as baller as Vikings, pirates, ninjas, mobsters, spies, and detectives. I say this as someone who isn’t Native American but I say it as a positive thing through and through.
+Hacky_Zak You're somewhat right. Different song from a different band, but it still speaks the same about never being ashamed of your heritage. You are who you are.
Although my last name is European my native side comes from my mother..the story in this video choked me up alittle..loved it and yes im a true testament fan and jason or whoever you really are grow up kid..
I am 1/3 Blackfeet this song has my warrior spirit rising and I can feel my totem the bear roaring with pride louder than it has ever before. Awesome group and song
Testament just captured my attention as does Native American issue's, languages, culture, and especially medicine. I am also awed by Native Blood wearables.
I used to listen to this when I was young. I'm glad to remember this song after years! Still a powerful feelings listening to this while watching the video.
My son wanted to become Native Canadian. He took the language course offered in grade three. Through our First Nations friends, we've learned, as a family, to respect the culture, and to listen. My family taught me to listen to other people and learn from everyone. I taught my kids that too.
Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall Whenever I'm pushed against the wall This White man's world won't tell me what to do Nowhere to run, my native blood I wanna reach and touch the sun Blistering my soul, but I can't feel You hear me say "Get out of my way" I'll do it my own way Cross my path and get what you deserve I'm warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard I'm alone I won't be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud, native blood! Forever proud, so goddamn loud It's me alone against the crowd Right or wrong, it's the road that I must choose There's no excuse, attitude Got something here that I must prove Live to win instead of born to lose I'm warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard So strong I won't be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud, native blood! I learned to walk before I could crawl Whenever pushed, I push back Not afraid to throw the first punch I'm never wrong, 'cause I'm always right And when I'm wrong, I won't admit it I'm the person your mother warned you about They broke the mold after I came out What gives me strength is my beliefs Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall I won't be pushed against the wall This White man's world won't tell me what to do Nowhere to run, native blood I wanna reach and touch the sun Blistering my soul, but I can't feel I'm warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard I'm alone I won't be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud, native blood! I'm warning this world To stay out of my way My voice will be heard So strong I won't be afraid I got something to say My voice will be heard So loud, native blood! My native blood My native blood My native blood
So were driving through the South town's with my little buddy Austen. We stop by @ Mexican Restaurant. They serve us shrimp w/rice on a Cast Iron plate. With Hardwood underneath, I immediately start thinking about the way I grew up ???
The best thrash metal album... I think ever. I can't believe music this good is still being made as someone who grew up as a 'metal head' in the 80/90's.
This is one absolutely fantastic song and video. Newcomer to this style of music. The talent expression is phenomenal! I understand it now. No more R&B for this 47 year old black women. Fantastic, deep meaning in this song.
YOu can still Listen to R&B and this . This is called thrash metal. Other great bands from this genre are: Metallica, Exodus, Overkill, Death Angel, Destruction, Artillery, Ketzer, Reign Of Fury, Hatchet, Lich King, Crash, Whispered, Generation Kill... just to name a few.
After watching this video....I'm going bank to my roots and never changing back for nobody or anything. Thanks forthe wake up call with this video. And thanks Testament for ever writing this song. Love this song by the way.
I'm white, and my mom's dad (my grandpa) was full blooded Indian. I'm thinking that I probably have at least 1 or 2 percent in me. I wish I was full blooded Indian.
One of my favorite music videos of all time. A great, thrash tune. It packs a whole movie's worth of story into a not-quite-six minute video. Plus, most of the actors are people from the rez and I believe it won a prize for best short film.
I am Russian, but I am in solidarity with the feeling of native Americans. I admire the history of the Indians and their aesthetics, which they popularize in this clip. The clip turned out to be very powerful and bright, I am overwhelmed with feelings. The music really unites and inspires. I am a big fan of the film "Dances with wolves" and this clip is a great example of preserving the spiritual traditions of small Nations. Bow to the authors for their hard creative work!
I was just thinking the other day... Iron Maiden has a dying about the plight of the native peoples (Run to the Hills), and Anthrax obviously has "Indians", one of their best tunes (and Joey had native blood as well). Chuck is another "Big Chief" just like Joey, but Testament never wrote a song about his heritage. Then I find this tune, and it's better than I could have imagined! These are some of Chuck's best, most heartfelt lyrics. The band is on fire as well, Hoglan killing it on the drums and Alex showing off his usual shred mastery. Top-tier tune from a great Bay Area thrash band.
When the last trees are cut down, the last rivers and creek are poisoned, and the final fish caught......then they realize that you cannot eat money. NDN proverb.
My grandfather is in this video. Thank you Chuck and Testament; for this song and the video.
Much respect!
That’s sick
Very very cool!!! Are you from their area ? I live in New Mexico, and Chuck/Testament are well loved here.
I met chuck billy at a small venue in n, Hollywood hills in 1992 with that kick ass album .I thought I was a big Mex Indian at 6,2 .this man was awesome, I knew he was preaching fer all us tribal people of color.i have been following this band since then.louie perez.testament is my mentor.

Yeah amazing band right ❤
Great song and video! Never be ashamed of your heritage. You are who you are!

Great video. I'm a Turkish and as much as i know that Native American people and we share the same genes.This means we are relatives. Whoever has this genes are always proud and honored people and also great warriors.
I like how the shaman starts waving his stick along just as the blast beat starts
LOL. Perfect timing whoever edited it that way. That shaman could probably do some blast beats on the drums with wrist control like that.
Cherokee and proud. Thats me. Metal head forever.
Yeah ok

Uclulet First Nations here in Canada listening thank you Chuck for this beast of a song
Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall
Whenever I’m pushed against the wall
This white man’s world won’t tell me what to do
Nowhere to run my native blood
I wanna reach and touch the Sun
Blistering my soul but I can’t feel
You hear me say, get out of my way
I’ll do it my own way
Cross my path and get what you deserve
I’m warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
I'm alone
I won’t be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud
Native blood
Forever proud
So God damn loud
It’s me alone against the crowd
Right or wrong it's the road that I must choose
There’s no excuse
Attitude
Got something here that I must prove
Live to win instead of born to lose
I’m warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
So strong
I won’t be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud
native blood
I never learned to walk
Before I could crawl
Whenever pushed
I push back
Not afraid to throw the first punch
I’m never wrong cause I’m always right
When I’m wrong, I won’t admit it
Like the person your mother warned you about
They broke the mold after I came out
What gives me strength is my beliefs
Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall
I won’t be pushed against the wall
This white man’s world won’t tell me what to do
Nowhere to run, native blood
I wanna reach and touch the Sun
Blistering my soul but I can’t feel
I’m warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
I'm alone
I won’t be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud
native blood
I’m warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
So strong
Oh I won’t be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud
Native blood
My native blood
My native blood
My native blood
Woke

Even though I'm white, I have a lot of respect for the Native people of the world. For those of you who don't know: Chuck Billy is of the Pomo Native Americans.
I'm white as well, most of the women I've dated and closest friends are Indigenous. my first real "Girlfriend" is Cree.
I'm not fully native. But my mother's side has both Cherokee and Chicksaw! Im proud of it. Native blood! Hell yeah! I stand with you all!
I'm Apache n I'm not afraid to say that I am proud to be Native
Greetings from Turkey!

You have all the reasons to be proud of your heritage! Your brave ancestors survived genocide and colonialisation!
Oooohhhh!
Native indigenous here. WE SHALL REMAIN BY BLOOD!!!!!!!!
Just saw this live in London, Canada! \m/ \m/
Beautiful 🙏🏼. All respect to the Native people of America, north and south. Powerful statement Testament.
I'm half Navajo and I always love testament.
I have Cherokee heritage and I'm proud of it.
Everyone should be proud of their native blood. It doesn't matter if it's Native American, Hindu or Celtic. I am a proud Norseman and I show it, Everyone has roots. Be proud of them.
And contrary to what a lot of people think, being proud of your roots and respecting those of others aren't mutually exclusive.
Beautiful words
Well said no matter what race or religion ur RESPECT is the key ,we are all human.
My roots are German. It's kinda frowned upon to be too proud of that heritage
We are all united through METAL and it runs through all our veins, metalheads are my brothers
1:37 that Native American knows how to blast beat :P

Proud Native "Navajo" Native love to all natives!
Diné Bikéyah
Proud!
finally some honor to the tribes and the Natives of this land
Put Chuck, Alex, Eric and "big daddy" Gene Hoglan in a studio or arena and step back and enjoy. Shout out to the call back to roots. Powerful.
TESTAMENT=UNDER RATED
how about exodus or overkill?
They are definitely underrated! They should be in the big four with Metallica and Slayer!
ZackAttack1990 actually without megadeth and slayer cos other bands outclass them
Better than overkill
How about Kreator
This is exactly why I love Testament! I have been a huge of Testament since 2000. Absolutely brilliant video clip and I really love the story it tells. I totally agree with Vlad Tepes...never be ashamed of your heritage. It is a part of who you are and always will be. I still remember when I first saw this video clip when it first came out. I had to show my whole family and they all loved it. I love all of Testaments music...they are heavy metal gods...\m/.
My great grandfather was a native American I never got to meet him but from what sounds like he was a good man
Sault Tribe Chippewa here, very cool video. It won an award in a native american film festival which is sweet because its so heavy.
Of all the big Thrash bands from the 80’s, Testament is putting out the best music still in the last 10 years
Facts.
Chuck Billy. Metal's favourite Pomo Native American. This man deserves all the respect he gets.
Love this, thanks for sharing! \m/
I think I Broke my neck listening to this song. It's such a great headbanging song and cd. Everything Testament does it fucken badass. New stuff is just as great as the old stuff.
Much love to all Native brothers and sisters from all Native Nations,

The story of Medicine Rock is very sad... and indeed a Testament to our Native struggles.
POMO Pride!

Native Americans are just as baller as Vikings, pirates, ninjas, mobsters, spies, and detectives. I say this as someone who isn’t Native American but I say it as a positive thing through and through.
Northern Cheyenne/Northern Arapaho. FOREVER PROUD SO GODDAMNN LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
roots Bloody Roots!!!
+Pedro Nāo Cimento .......I think your lost lol
+Pedro Nāo Cimento Isso tá meio errado jovem
+Hacky_Zak You're somewhat right. Different song from a different band, but it still speaks the same about never being ashamed of your heritage. You are who you are.
Pedro Nāo Cimento CHAOS A.D.!!!
Pains intervention madness dark angel. We have arrived
I am Eastern Cherokee tellico plains Tennessee tellico lake little Tennessee River and proud of it!!!!!! Wado testament

I Love that Chuck & the Boyz' keep writing &singing for and about My Native People!!!! Native Pride!!! Nation Wide \m/
The signature change at 4:59 is mind blowing. Authentic testament pattern. Fantastic piece 👌
I love this song ! We are Native Americans ! I am from Brazil !
I am 1/3 Blackfeet this song has my warrior spirit rising and I can feel my totem the bear roaring with pride louder than it has ever before. Awesome group and song
No one cares what fraction of it you are. Just be proud
Im chickasaw and choctaw and Cherokee part native American im proud to be native American so this band rocks
This is and always will be Native American land! Proud to be Cherokee!!!
Testament is one of those bands I never listened too and I'm wondering why. they rock!
Testament just captured my attention as does Native American issue's, languages, culture, and especially medicine. I am also awed by Native Blood wearables.
I used to listen to this when I was young. I'm glad to remember this song after years! Still a powerful feelings listening to this while watching the video.
I think that the Native American culture is beautiful.
My son wanted to become Native Canadian. He took the language course offered in grade three. Through our First Nations friends, we've learned, as a family, to respect the culture, and to listen. My family taught me to listen to other people and learn from everyone. I taught my kids that too.
Native Americans will always live on and will stay strong! \m/ Forever Native love ❤
Native is where it is at..... We all need to step back and give the respect that is deserved. \m/
came for the music, stayed for the message. Respect.
Testament is my #1 favorite metal band of all time. Just saying.
Completely agree
Your boyfriend is one lucky man.....That's enough to make someone fall in love.....Hahaha.
I thought it was Adele
Slayer
Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall
Whenever I'm pushed against the wall
This White man's world won't tell me what to do
Nowhere to run, my native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul, but I can't feel
You hear me say "Get out of my way"
I'll do it my own way
Cross my path and get what you deserve
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
I'm alone
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood!
Forever proud, so goddamn loud
It's me alone against the crowd
Right or wrong, it's the road that I must choose
There's no excuse, attitude
Got something here that I must prove
Live to win instead of born to lose
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
So strong
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood!
I learned to walk before I could crawl
Whenever pushed, I push back
Not afraid to throw the first punch
I'm never wrong, 'cause I'm always right
And when I'm wrong, I won't admit it
I'm the person your mother warned you about
They broke the mold after I came out
What gives me strength is my beliefs
Whenever I stumble, whenever I fall
I won't be pushed against the wall
This White man's world won't tell me what to do
Nowhere to run, native blood
I wanna reach and touch the sun
Blistering my soul, but I can't feel
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
I'm alone
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood!
I'm warning this world
To stay out of my way
My voice will be heard
So strong
I won't be afraid
I got something to say
My voice will be heard
So loud, native blood!
My native blood
My native blood
My native blood
So were driving through the South town's with my little buddy Austen. We stop by @ Mexican Restaurant. They serve us shrimp w/rice on a Cast Iron plate. With Hardwood underneath, I immediately start thinking about the way I grew up ???
The best thrash metal album... I think ever. I can't believe music this good is still being made as someone who grew up as a 'metal head' in the 80/90's.
Believe it! I'm glad to see meaningful metal still play a role in rock music!!!
This is one absolutely fantastic song and video. Newcomer to this style of music. The talent expression is phenomenal! I understand it now. No more R&B for this 47 year old black women. Fantastic, deep meaning in this song.
YOu can still Listen to R&B and this . This is called thrash metal. Other great bands from this genre are: Metallica, Exodus, Overkill, Death Angel, Destruction, Artillery, Ketzer, Reign Of Fury, Hatchet, Lich King, Crash, Whispered, Generation Kill... just to name a few.
Even though I'm not native American, i was born and raised in Oklahoma. Muskogee to be exact. This song means so much to me. Thank you Testament...🤘
"Proud 2 b Native" from Laguna NM. Chuck Billy says it all. To each his own opioion
After watching this video....I'm going bank to my roots and never changing back for nobody or anything. Thanks forthe wake up call with this video. And thanks Testament for ever writing this song. Love this song by the way.
Full Cree here from northern Manitoba, never been soo proud while listening to this masterpiece. 👍🏽👍🏽
This song make me so proud to have native blood!! \m/
I'm white, and my mom's dad (my grandpa) was full blooded Indian. I'm thinking that I probably have at least 1 or 2 percent in me. I wish I was full blooded Indian.
@@bobby1970 you'd be 15 percent then.
Your father is 50 percent
Your 25 percent
And your kids will be half of that.
@@SuicideRedemption , very cool. That's awesome. Thanks for the info.
Yeah ok
Proud to be a Native American
As colombian that song hits me hard. Proud of my native blood.
Loved the video such a powerful message... Never give up the fight!!
this song explain exactly why I always say that metalheads should controle the planet and we would live in a much much better world
How about no
Tombking2 How about yes
That escalated quickly.
***** zup man
Kowl Gockle That's because you're immature.
One of my favorite music videos of all time. A great, thrash tune. It packs a whole movie's worth of story into a not-quite-six minute video. Plus, most of the actors are people from the rez and I believe it won a prize for best short film.
I am Russian, but I am in solidarity with the feeling of native Americans. I admire the history of the Indians and their aesthetics, which they popularize in this clip. The clip turned out to be very powerful and bright, I am overwhelmed with feelings. The music really unites and inspires. I am a big fan of the film "Dances with wolves" and this clip is a great example of preserving the spiritual traditions of small Nations. Bow to the authors for their hard creative work!
I can feel my heart pumping my native blood through my veins. Love Chuck Billy
I was just thinking the other day... Iron Maiden has a dying about the plight of the native peoples (Run to the Hills), and Anthrax obviously has "Indians", one of their best tunes (and Joey had native blood as well). Chuck is another "Big Chief" just like Joey, but Testament never wrote a song about his heritage. Then I find this tune, and it's better than I could have imagined! These are some of Chuck's best, most heartfelt lyrics. The band is on fire as well, Hoglan killing it on the drums and Alex showing off his usual shred mastery. Top-tier tune from a great Bay Area thrash band.
When the last trees are cut down, the last rivers and creek are poisoned, and the final fish caught......then they realize that you cannot eat money. NDN proverb.
Black Elk?
Dude....thats sooooo hippie stuff please leave
@@alesism16. Dude... youre so Eric Cartmann!
Of course you can eat money. Doesn't taste very good, but you still can eat it.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo shut the fuck up thats not what it means
I always listen to Testament whenever I feel like shit..
Their songs boosts me up! 🤘
This video reminds me of my life. Would never go without a fight. Diné Bikéyah warrior spirit
Much love for Chuck Billy representing his native American roots native Americans first not the white man much respect
Thats racist!
@@ras124 wanker
