I am sorry to have watched what the banking elite have done to your nation. Your words were very moving to me. I am not Apache, but my wife is White Mountain Apache (Chiricahua). I wish the best for you, and fulfillment in your life.
@AMMONAMMO Vauu you have readen history .i.m too Native Indian respecter ..i,m from Finland were the wolwes and bears cavort hah hha
Talofa
LOL, SAMOANS are not Native American's brothers and sisters!!!!!!! Completely different groups!
Great a Pacific ocean warrior we All one
Love to all the Native American Indians from all over the Americas... from Canada all the way to Argentina Amerindians are great people, full of energy and beautiful spirits.
There are indigenous people all over the world, not just in the Americas.
@@gabbym333 Cool but the subjects is Native AMERICAN
I'm Mayan and I feel your pain brothers from the north ,you will rise one day and reclaim your land
Respect for Mayans. Never met anyone so strong of heart or sharp of mind. Changed my life forever.
@@braetonpettit I am nahuat from Kuskatan or Cuscatlan where I am I see alot natives like mayas , native Mexicans, natives from south America, I love it when mayans speak their natives languages here where I am, i am in New Jersey aka Lenape Land .
Omar Noyola are your origins from el salvador? My ancesters are the pipil
@@DonJulio510 I am from el Salvador but that pipil = equals Toltecs , we are toltecas too because we descend from them .
s0ng0ku s0ng0ku Respect ✊🏽
I'll say this much, the United States owes a lot to these people.
Every once in a while o read or see something about the how native Americans live or are treated. It hits me everyone because it’s kept I see over so we will not know the truth. The United States government doesn’t care or give a rats butt about them at all.
And they have money for invasions and space missions .....shame
The states owe them nothing they got a brain 2 hand and 2 legs to work with they can get up go out and start making a living instead of blaming everything on race, growing up with one parent or addiction
@@sullywarner An addiction brought on and supported by the American Government Moron They are kept down in purpose by the government. Hi ahead try going to a reservation the only place the government wants them to be and see how Many Jobs you find you waste of Human flesh...Grow up entitled kid
@@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester they dont NEED TO LIVE AT THE RESERVATION, I hate people like you! You live in america were the only think stopping you from becoming rich is using ur brain
I would love to switch places with the indians they can come live in somalia while we go to america, at least
we dont cry over being poor when the only thing stopping you in america is you
We will Survive because our Ancestors did so for us. Respect to my brothers and sisters. Everyone. Stay true to who you really are.
Yes we will. We are survivors.
Y’all gotta eat the diet. To survive.
Our ancestors survived. So we could continue to prosper. And regenerate.
just another white girl struggle LARPing with her one drop of native blood
White girl what are you about 😭😹
Be strong Apache People, the Creator has a Master Plan. You will come back stronger than you were before. It is almost time. It is written on the wind. aho
There's no plan and there is no creator.
Joseph Seraile
It’s Prophecy that The Natives will Rize Again the Original Name of the Native Amerindians “GAD”
Genesis 49:19
Gad, a troop shall overcome Them: but They shall over come at the last.
♡
tell that to your mother. @@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani
That's what I just posted brother it is true we are coming back stronger than ever,The Creato does have a PLAN.
Wow, I'm Haitian and my heart cries out for you people. Sending good vibrations you way.
growing up on the san Carlos Rez I remember my dad will come home and drink and I would sit there and count my dads beer and he always have 30 can or more and then go to yell at my mom and I would go outside and look up to the stars and moon and I would wonder how my people can be so amazing but be ruin by a couple of things. And then I had to move to Cali and now all I want to do is go back to San Carlos because beside all those bad things San Carlos was my home and is were I feel like I belong and I would honestly move back in a heart beat.
Sorry that happened to you. I hope life gets better for you.
You are a human you belong!
C.C.🖤 just keep your head up God is big be proud of your culture am from El Salvador that's a central american country. But I love my Natives people. I have a few friends from Oklahoma
C.C.🖤 move back home for the elders for the ancestors for the culture for yourself. That’s what I am doing. I moved off the Ft McDowell Rez years ago I live in Ohio and feel so far away from everyone who really knows me. I’m moving back at the beginning of 2020 it’s never too late to go home. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 hold your head up high cousin we are a proud people.
C.C.🖤 did you ever go back?
Respect to all natives 👐
SO PROUD of these incredible young people! Beauty, Dignity, Pride. They make us proud to be CHIRCAHUA!
BLUE MOUNTAIN Tribe, i find Native American ppl respectable ppl then, all the one's i met. I have 0 friends. I don't socialize wit anyone cuz, i get made fun of & bullied, from my dyslexia & wat i into. I was friends wit Native American children, but they moved. 😔 i felt connected & happie when, had native friends til, my life went down hill & they moved on to other places in u.s.a. & i got into k-pop & learning their language but, only to feel i belong cuz, wit my baka(japanese for: stupid) foster parent, i never belonged wit.... i did start trying to connect bck wit native music & i have stopped listening to dark gothic music & seen less & less of my cyber-gothic sis, Brioni Faith. ..... (sorrie i speak much.) ..... Mister, where is there a Native American tribe who does pow-wows in florida???
BLUE MOUNTAIN Tribe YOU ARE NORTH AMERICA 💯💪😤🏝🇵🇷 TAINO ARE WITH YOU.
BLUE MOUNTAIN Tribe im so proud of my brazilian indian decendence.
ahoo
BLUE MOUNTAIN Tribe I recently was told I'm part Chiricahua. I wish I had solid proof though.
Unfortunately, I am unable to express my feelings in words, as I am sorry for what has been done to you in the past and until now. Please stay away from alcohol and drugs, because as you know, this path has been chosen from the beginning to slowly eradicate you. I have great respect for you.
Edinbosnia1
Alo Bosanac, i nas skoro pa središe ko ove.
Edinbosnia1 you're so genuine and thoughtful, there are still good people...thank you
Agree. I come to tears every single time I think of what was done to the Native Americans.
I feel the same. Of all the problems in America you never, ever hear of the issues that confront the Native Americans. The debts owed to them can never be repaid they are too many, too severe and too hurtful. It breaks my heart to see the poverty and self destruction on the reservations. Sorry for the rant I just get very upset about this subject.
@@harryd.sayles2992 time for payment is over! They get enough! What about the other people hurting in the country? Just quit crying and get over it! Whatever happened happened! It's in the past! Jeez enough already! Fucking injuns had it better than I did growing up! Even if they got what they wanted, they would still want more!
be proud of who you..you are a beautiful people..worship the great spirit who created you and all things..please keep you culture thriving
Jean Smith amen!
I agree 100%.
Fight for the recognition of who you are! And where you belong to! MayGod bless You ALL!
🙏🌌🌅🏞💖
I can’t stop crying.much respect & love. America’s has done so much damage.
and is still doing
Go live in a teepee then..o stead of writing nonsense in a white built house and eating your hot pockets !! Dumbass,,do you people even THINK before you talk?
@luisa Mamea im not but i see people living in cages. Without any respected right of representation. If u see it normal in the year we are...
@luisa Mamea well ur comment is public xd
its generational madness by people who wont do better.
I lived there, I'm a nurse, I'm not native but was treated very well. They are wary of strangers but once they know you they are warm and kind. I will always think of that time with love. They fight every day for existence. Pray for them.
To my southern Apache brothers and sisters. It does get better. Don’t ever give up. We are forever powerful. From a White Mountain Apache. Love and respect
Im mestiso... but I feel closer to my Native brothers.. I hurt when I see them hurting
Me too
Nacho Diaz your Mexican buddy
Your Mexican this is a complete other way of living
We’re all brothers . Mestizo is just a word to divide us . And to Lewis .. you’re ignorant if you can’t recognize you’re own cousins . What’s different ? Life in poverty ? A life burdened by alcohol or drugs ? Life in a rural abandoned place ? Or the dark skin ? Fuck outta here , we’re all brothers and sisters .. and Lewis if you’re native , then we’re brothers as well regardless of ignorance
epocs, Native Americans have always mixed with one another even long ago!
It's not the end, our hearts will always live on in this land. God bless us on our journey.
The San Carlos Apache people are a strong and beautiful people inside an out. Lots of issues, but I fell in love with this reservation since moving here and getting to know the people. Good or bad, I love them all.
taz harry Me too, the Apache people are strong and resilient. They have always been so, and I have faith that they will be alright. They were and are disadvantaged, a big part of that is not their doing. Wishing and hoping for strength and fortitude.
This is absolutely beautiful. My Grandpa always thought that he came from a line of Apaches. I would be honored to be part of this blood line. What amazingly articulate young people. Time to rise up. We all need the power and strength that the Apaches have. I hope to visit one day!
It's possible to leave, and become someone. My grandma, grandpa left the same reservation with a 2 yr old, they were tired of the things that went on, they were homeless but made it. Got an education, had more kids, all which have an education now with masters and PhDs. And I'm a woman engineer who is a year away from a PhD myself. It is possible. There are resources to help you succeed, you just have to find it. I hope someday others leave safe and become educated and we can all go back and fight for our people, because there they are too weak to fight for themselves right now.
What kind of engineer I enjoy studying that glad you done good I hate how the government treats natives
Geronimo was one greatest men in our histor6
He was a great fighter and said we our all children of one god
You are someone my dear. Jesus is the Son of the WHITE SPIRIT and we his sons and daughters he shall SAVE us . 👍 Come as you are.
BEST RESPONSE!!!!!! move forward
I was 27 when I was told of my Lipan Apache heritage, long story. A bit... My Great Grandmother Anastasia married a Spanish man and took her family to SA.TX. to integrate into the Mexican culture for our survival. It was a few years later before I became much more interested in my NA heritage. I do not blame those who were in the council that I contacted for not allowing me any recognition. So many non NA people wanting to play Indian and all, I can and do respect their reluctance. I only wanted to be a part, and I did so distantly. I moved to the east coast and found many people from many different nations to be able to become part of this NA family, that as a child I had no idea I was a part of. In fact I was taught both by society and family the adage... Better dead than red. It was our family's dirty little secret. I did however upon embracing the reality of my heritage feel growing animosity toward this "adage" and towards those who maintain(ed) it. Because of what was/is done to the NA people I was deprived of my culture. I was not allowed to grow up "being" Apache. Today I proudly (when asked) state my heritage. It's not something I could hide considering my physical appearance. Not that I would ever wish to ever hide my heritage. For years I was/am saddened by this loss of identity. My animosity continues over the whole "American" concept. The lies placed upon my people. The horrendous treatment of the NA people as a whole. No one need travel abroad to see a 3rd or 4th world people as they are in abundance right here in Americas back yard. The true story of this "Great America" has been perpetuated by the propaganda of thieves, rapists, and murderers. And by the imposed government and elite who maintain their "righteous" hold on this what was once a beautiful land, stolen. Never forget that if you still benefit from this almost complete genocide of the NA people, you are still responsible ! Your ancestors began this and you still are a part of this situation that you maintain. You have the land and you have no intention of rectifying the damage done. We cannot "go home"... Our home here, has been stolen.
Much love to my Apache brothers and sistas from Los Angeles Ca. I went to the rez in 1995 and met lot's of people that inspire me to this day....
I'm a apache from mescalero New Mexico an I feel your pain an experiences it's the same here. We have the mountains but that can be a struggle somtimes. I understand your words.
I am 17 an I'm glad I came across this video.
Much love an pride as well.
You guys are the best. Stay strong.
This is HISTORICAL TRAUMA. !
My prayers are with you my young ppl. ❤🙏
You are the true people of this Earth and respect from a Timorese from Australia
Greetings from from Hungary! Stay strong! God bless You all!!!
No words. Just tears.
Beautyfull little sister from min 6:40...
I am crying with you about all the pain you felt.
So sorry for all that.
Still hoping and praying for a better world!❤️
Peace
Stay strong we are all one big family in this beautiful planet called Mother Earth
Thank you all for being my friends and thank you all for standing up I have to thank the young and old my prayers are with everyone and thank you all for standing up male and female 🙏❤️ love you all
"we coud have been like spartans and ninjas combined but Im just a drop" that's deep !!
Damn I'm glad I found this. Makes me feel good to be a San Carlos Apache. We will prosper and find our fight again, be the stone the waves can not move, the eagle that soars above the clouds, and a man to tame the heavens.
This right here is heart wrenching. This Apache in Los Angeles, and according to my Dine' sister (who grew up on the Rez) said I had a pretty hard life anyway. SO it seems to me after watching this video and seeing the struggles they are telling and noticing the inner turmoil is very sad. The good thing is we have only to look within and draw strength from each other. We can only go up from here. Many Blessing to the littles ones. Keep the faith.
Jay Bear rez life aint that fucken bad! we are used too it so it aint no thing to us. it may look harsj to outsiders and maybe it is but this is our home and most of us are happy living on the rez. you can take an apache off the rez but you cant take the rez out of an apache!
Hey Jay bear, fellow n
Diné.. I stay in Inglewood... Lets get in touch ?
Although a few years passed here with this great little story. I am also struck by the similarities of your peoples dispossession as was with my peoples of Aboriginal Australia.. and the ripple effects of colonisation.. brothers and sisters of the great Apache nation, you are not alone.. we feel your pain of loss also..
Sir, or mam. May your people have the strength to keep tradition alive. Everything in this world is an eb and flow. Your time to shine is coming and the white man learns his ways are foul for the soul he turns to the older ways seeking a better place of hart. And the people who were once hunted will be praised for their wisdome.
Chiricahua Apache here! Damn proud to call myself an apache

Much love from the Navajo Nation my relative..
I love you people because you're a unique family. Don't give up , great people.
Prayers for all the people, much love to you
These kids have their ancestors features. Apache people are beautiful. From a Tuhoe brother of New Zealand to my Apache brothers and sisters I stand with you.
my grandma was born in Alamo Gordo new Mexico. she's a mescalero I'm mescalero . but she raised us in Los Angeles. I wish I had some brother and sisters here to teach me something about my people. she didn't know much . she went to bording school. before she died she gave one last war cry and fell into a comma and past on to the next world. I was raised in the Aztec traditions. very beautiful. still dance . but I would love to learn some crown dances and ceremonies to teach my kids
@@ogcconstrictors6713 I'm a mestizo, Spanish and native American. 70% to be exact...I'm rpoud to be Native
@@ogcconstrictors6713 why is it that the amount of "blood" someone has is only brought up when it comes to native identities? you don't hear me asking my white friends what percentage their blood is. leave us alone our blood quantum is no white man's business.
@@user-zt3rt8zo2g I'm Mexican American mestizo, not white, and I ask because their alot of imposters out there
@@ogcconstrictors6713 i don't care, i don't even like when natives bring up blood quantum because it reinforces the idea that our indigenity is determined by non native people thus we are inferior. being native is based upon culture and connections, not how much "blood" you have. and before you ask i am nahuas and mexican.
@@user-zt3rt8zo2g sorry buddy, hut native is about blood quantum, so u telling me if a white man with 10 percent native blood only follows native culture he is native..lmfao, native is a race buddy
Be strong from the lessons of the past . Don't let the past dictate our happyness or our future. I changed my family name by taking the good from my raising and leaving the shadows of the bad behind . We need to live life as the Phenix flying from the fire and the ash to soar . Peace and love to each and everyone who reads this . May the great creator send his blessings upon us !
Watching this video,being native I've lost my culture after losing my father,I struggle now everyday trying to get back what I have ignored by my father and this video hit home bcus I struggled with substance abuse for 37 years trying to mask the pain,clean and sober now 3years and searching for the past and trying to pass it on to my kids
I'm sorry for all your pain I don't want to see anybody suffer I've suffered from alcohol and drug abuse, prison system but I'm free from that now, it's nice to hear y'all speak! bless you all ...
thank you...
All first nations must have as more children as they can have.
Yes procreate. Have lots of kids. Lots of them because certain people want to see your race die so don't let it.
I am game when to start
Hard to do when you live in poverty
It makes me feel very sad to see your pain. I'm crying for you, and praying for you. Don't lose your culture, don't lose your self. You all are so beautiful!!!!! Send to you all my love.
Such a rich and “proud culture” 👌🏻🙏🏻👌🏻.. all of them should be and I’m sure are proud of there cultural heritage... God bless them 🙏🏻.
YOUR ALL AMAZING AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR LIFE STORY♡
beautiful people :) peace be with you all.
I feel your pain. i was a victim of the government schools for ten yrs, that physically and mentally abused me for being indigenous. I visited your homeland 25 yrs ago to gain more strength. I am still here, Yaqui Yoeme and proud.
Historical trauma is real and sad.
Ronove thank you my white brother ✌🏻
@MysteriousOklahoma we must let go of the past and move on. Focus on today. For a better future. We can't go on lamenting. Our ancestors didn't go though all that hell just so we can sit here and cry. They lived it worse. Ours is psychological. Find your way out this labyrinth with books and positive audio.
Yes, sadly. I just don't get how people can hate others so much. That whole them vs. us mentality is insane.
@Johnny Bravo What kinda crap comment is this? You're definitely the problem! Not to mention ignoring the rampant racism against Indigenous South Americans! Wow, just wow!
And did you really just say Native Americans have the same DNA as mongols? Oh boy! 😵
@Johnny Bravo Was waiting on you to prove just how racist you are. Bravo Johnny! Pat yourself on the back because like I said,YOU'RE THE PROBLEM! Telling a group of marginalized people to get over it just because you're so short sighted and ignorant and have zero clue (or rather ignore) about the blatant racism towards Indigenous peoples in South America.
And learn some science so you can stop making yourself look even more ignorant. Sub Saharan Africans and Aztecs/Indigenous Americans are genetically two different races of people, just like Indigenous Americans and Asians are genetically two different races of people....Duh!!
From a puerto rican to those indians watching please continue to fight , dont let them take your land and your language , your dreams ....i lived in Fort Sill oklahoma when i was 6 years old , ans lived in Cheyenee Wyoming in 94 ...miss those yearz..
Watching these videos I miss my family I moved away around 30 yrs ago and now most of them are gone I wish I could have stayed around
Well done ! More people need to see these stories and hopefully they will understand one day . So I'll share this .
Stay strong my beautiful my APACHE people!!
Commonality now days growing up with a single parent is tough. My mom split when I was 5, my dad was good but an alcoholic, so I was alone a lot found myself sleeping under cars from fear of the dark I developed. But you never give up - you push forward no matter how hard and most importantly you help others on the same path. Find peace , love and strength....
I am kunu but all us natives need to start to help each other like these strong, proud, and inspirational kids what a awsome vid, u kids r true leaders like the great Chiefs know that native blood is the best inheritance . From a person that grew up on the black river, willow mtn, and dry lake strong land strong people brothers and sisters of the earth look out for one another is the key. And to look and feel the past we look further into the future again awsome vid on those kids outsiders look what the rez's hold hope and future power from one of the twins on San carlos
Thank you for sharing yourselves and your beauty with us. To me, you are the hope of the world. Much love!
Nothing to be ashame of cuz y'all the truth
The strength within my native people i adore our hearts and minds, i would love to share the idea of don't cry for the pass lets bring our orginial back through our children courage. Much love to my native nations i carry you all with love in my heart and soul 🙏
Fantastic video! So well done, really effectively conveying the varied emotions of these Apache kids.
Thanks for posting!
Government should try what they did in the 50s
I'm an American, and I love all my native American sisters and brothers.
Beautiful brave strong Apache people Stay Strong The poem really touched my heart. You were taught to run. Run with the wind and never give up. The disease of alcoholism does not care who you are or where you are from. Please understand young ones that it was not your father or brother or mother that did these awful things to the family. It is the disease- cunning, baffling, and powerful. Jails, institutions, and death. Stay true to your roots. Know who you are and never allow another's ignorant negative attitudes dim your light. Shine on brave ones. Maka akiacita
Love you Apache brothers and sisters, rise up and be strong, you each have meaning and great worth, you all are greatly loved!
I love y'all All from this Mighty Los Angeles we shall remain the desert can be a good place just migrate toward the natural rivers and water in that region and let's build Narragansett peace but I want all my Native American brothers and sisters to relocate to Northern California in the Kalmath/Hoopa tribes region they have the most beautiful pristine river region still and we are United as One here jobs for everyone and the reservation is beautiful natural waterfalls and all
My people.... My kind... I miss you
Precious brave strong youth. God bless you you are victorious. Never. Lose Faith trust your creator.
Heartbreaking, but hopefully amends can be made, and these wounds can heal. Love and respect
sometimes I think we had no business coming here I can't imagine what native americans went through
The business was conquest. Nothing new, nothing special, when you take a look at human history.
epocs oh yeah that of course justifies the wasichus in their blood thirsty decimation.
epocs You clearly know nothing about native people before the genocide & colonization began. No known Indian people practiced rape or the rest of the atrocities you claim...those were brought here from Europe.
@Christigoth they always leave that part outta the conversation! It's fucking hilarious how the mighty warriors did their evil and got dealt with! And we're supposed to feel bad? Don't think so! Especially now WTF has injuns went through that was so bad? Compared to others! Really what? Nothing that's what!
Only sometimes?
You are a beautiful people, You all have the soul of Angels
Very well made. Thank you for sharing these stories.
The more I learn, further deepens my heartache.
IN MY HEART EVERY ONE COUNTS, WE ALL ARE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM,
Yes we are
i love love love the peaceful sound , i felt it resonate with my soul !!!!!!
Heart breaking reality. Stand strong beautiful souls
Oh my, You.... are the Great heart of this nation. When I was young my mother told me I was Cherokee by blood. I hold tight to that, you are all my Heroes. I love all, young and old alike. The people. Hold tight to tradition, song and words. I had the privilege of growing up in your country and so fell in love with the Apache. The best friends I have ever had.
They will still be a great nation on this precious land. They will have a shepherd, and he will lead them to good pastures.
@நாகராஜ ஐயர்- சேர பாண்டிய நாட்டு அந்தணன் Jehova means the Eternal One

You all have such beautiful hair. Love you all.!! Hiy-HIy from Saskatchewan, Canada. #Iseeyou
My heartbreaks and tears of deep sadness overwhelmed my eyes as it cascades along my cheeks when I see what my people have been reduced to, not only In the U.S. but throughout and in between the continents of North and South America. In these trying and changing times we ought to stick together, in the spirit of our ancestors and in their memory-- help one another . We must continue to evolve as a people and rise again to reclaim these lands that are rightfully ours, if not , keep trying, and remain steadfast in our dignity as a great people . When I say great people, it encompasses all people indigenous to the Lands known today as the "America's. " I am Lokono/Arawak from the Lokono Tribe in Guyana South America. I send You my Apache brothers and sisters love from my people (Our People).
but tribes were at war with each other, and you guys did not have land ownership. not all natives or european nationalities are the same. Anyway enjoy this chinese and maybe future russian controlled world.
They have spiritual triumph over adversity
WOW!! With all that has happen to you........you still are strong peoples. God Bless you and touching your lives in a mighty way.
My ancestors walked that trail of tear's so I know the business
Much love from the Navajo people, my relatives.. I feel this so many times. Sometimes, I wonder why I exist as a Native.. I would wonder if I could fit in with my people.. I think about if I forgotten my heritage here.. as in this city.. now with the pandemic, I think about those questions. With the alcoholism of my uncles on the Rez, growing up with single mother divorced, moved from my home on the Rez.. I feel so much regret.. and sorrow.. deep in my heart..
My love and respect towards my Apache brothers and sisters..
Some of those amerindian boys cut the hair short,i just love my long,black n smooth nativeamerican hair.here is brazil but we are so americans as you from north.who the greatspirit be with you all,you are people of good,deserves be hapy.
I'm a Chiricahua Apache and live in NM, I broke that cycle of parents drunk and I have been sober 23 years. You young people need to rewatch your selves on this video and break that cycle and educate your selves and create a better life for yourselves and your children. Bikeguuandan will always bless you.
I miss sitting in Ms. K's classroom... everyone of these kids were seniors when I was a freshman. Now, I graduated and I feel like shit...
My Beautiful Apache Brother and Sister’s !!!! Keep the spirit and customs strong. Learn the mother tongue . Lots of love From Cali Javi
My mother was born on this Reservation and placed up for adoption because her parents were alcoholics. I would very much like to connect with some of the people and take more of our beautiful Apache culture in.
you can always call the apache tribes office for more info 9284751600
Same here. I wonder how many children where adopted out.
Do you think your lives were better or worse for it? If you feel that is to personal, it's fine not to answer.
Doesn't have to be one way or the other, Jay Winter. As with other aspects of life, with other persons as well, there are good points and bad points. With many Natives, there is an integral need and inherent connection that you feel, the need to be close to your peoples, your cultures, your ancestral lands, so when that part is taken away, there can always be a longing that is unfulfilled anywhere else. I know that may not have been your intent, but some ask question like that to prove other points like Nativeness is necessary or that the "white way" or other ways are better. It is a question of assimilation. Was assimilation better or worse for Indians? Millions died for it, thousands survived and are the parents of Natives now, who need their Nativeness. It is no, yes or no, better or worse, answer.

I grew up on the Rez. Key First Nations/368. Anin from Saskatchewan, Canada. I’m anishnabae you guys ain’t alone. We all have to come together and help each other. Whites don’t understand us never will we gotta help each other any way we can
Great people.....Keep strong and with happy hearts and comforted spirit
Thank you for keeping the spirit alive! We are the first people of this land, we are still here and will continue to be here for eternity!
The Tribes should take the whole Country Back.
Don't want deportation for those who were born here. Don't be blaming an entire race or ethnicity base on what individuals had or have done, but the individual(s) would be at fault.
A good start would be for native Americans to reject the current way of living and breathe life once again into their ancestral traditions and ways. Then take back their lands after a few generations and after their numbers are up
Now you on the course of lossing it all with that stupid ideals
@Mario Alberto Torres De Los Lagos Medeiros De Jesus great. Start with 5 subscriber s
The way i see it; america has run its county to shit. Lets see how the it would be under the rule of the tribes! All the land divided between them and a counsel of wise men from each tribe work together to govern all the people.
All the hate... I wish people would put down the bigotry and learn that we are all one people. We all are doing the same thing here, just trying to make the best of life. Why cant we get along. White, black, native, it dose not matter we are all brothers and sisters under the sky. We all bleed the same blood and we all feel the same pain! Stop the vilance stop hating eachother and learn to love your self wich is all of every one. We are one.
My heart is with you. I hope you know how strong and resilient you all are.
