- This week we bring you “A Conversation With Native Americans on Race,” the latest installment in our wide-ranging “Conversation on Race” series. Directed by Michèle Stephenson and Brian Young, the film grapples with the racist contradictions of a country that, many feel, would prefer it if Native Americans didn’t exist.

Which tribe?

BLOOD QUANTUM PURPOSE WAS TO CAUSE DIVISION AMONGST OUR PEOPLE.
What is your name
Really cool name.
From Ireland I can tell you, don't stop speaking your native language, don't ever stop celebrating your culture, do get politically active and make them uphold those treaties.
at least irish people are still 80% or more genetically irish. the problem with the indians is that if you are 1/32nd indian, you can be indian in america. It is absurd. People hate blood quantum, but without it, even Azov battalion can become choctaw or cherokee lol.
Man I always like natives and I would play as kid with bow and arrows and I'm not even close to America.
@@WSEize are you German? Do you actually care tho, cuz most who 'play' dont care, they see them as characters from a show. Here in America we are seen as extinct, Latin America hates us too the mestizo have to accept their Hispanic side only. Its sad.
Man, Americans were honestly really bad people, I mean we essentially made another peoples land ours and leveled their population (races) and resources,
But I guess you can’t drive bad away from something in order to make it “good”.
@@gregrobinette8620 I care! Used to play with bows as a Young kid, used to listen music like drums( hippie rock connection), used to read about significant personalities like High Horse and others, în highschool. Also made my paper for the english exam în highschool about the british english and american english underlying the native people but mostly talking a bit of american history în relation with native people.
My heart broke when my sister spoke about her grandfather. Because he looks black he feels like he isn't native enough. Let your grandfather know it's MORE of him then he knows!! Incredible video
This speaks volumes. Imagine how many others before him felt the same way and classified themselves as black. It’s a divide and conquer situation. If you divide the lights from the darks there is less ppl to pay/support & the government will phase out of the established treaties sooner.
I understand, our plight as dark skinned American Indians! We must lift each other up! Osiyo & Feathers 🪶 Up!
@@bashfulbeautybelle exactly I know that feel I’m aztec choctaw and black but my grandfather was aztec in choctaw because his mother in father but he married a black woman
I briefly worked at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) some years ago, and it was wild. It was staffed with a team of white genealogists and a conservative (using this term for a lack of a better word) Native American Branch Chief. They engaged in determining who was Native and which tribes were considered legitimate. At the time, this was being done to see who would be granted casino licenses, and tribes were being turned down left and right. Needless to say that the Native people had a few choice words for that branch chief. The Bureau was a part of the Department of Interior, which was being monitored and investigated for embezzling millions of dollars designated for the Native peoples (I’m not implying that BIA staff was involved. The investigation was occurring on a higher level.) It was so bad that employees weren’t even allowed to use the internet. I’d never seen anything like that, and the experience was eye opening.
Us blacks are native Americans we are American Indians.
A white boy can consider himself native and many do.
American Indians were here before native Americans.
Natives are actually from SIBERIA.
All these watered down natives like the one in the video are impostors.
American Blacks are the real and only American Indigenous people.
Stand tall, I refuse to be disregarded. I’m a Maori woman and proud. Indigenous nations all over the world ✊🏼
I greet my Amerindian friends, I live in the south-east of France and after watching a last western at the age of 14 I began to learn the truth about the Amerindians, and since I spend all the free time writing about what I learned when I went to visit the United States several times, now I am not far from 80 years old I always keep this rage in my heart to help the Amerindians to regain their pride and their dignities.
I have always followed what has been going on with blacks in the United States for centuries. you are in the same case as these people of color, so wake up and continue to fight, so that one day the Amerindian land comes back to you.
Remember, there are a lot of people on your side.

I Love you for standing tall!!!
Aotearoa!
Sikario40 Kia Ora my friend 😊
Rami Sebit Look up Maori before you start assuming I am not of an indigenous race thank you. So rude. I am fair because my great grandfather was a full blooded Irish man. But then again why am I explaining myself to you ?? My last name is Maori, my features are Maori, I identify as Maori because I am Maori. We are considered the dark skin race of New Zealand/Aotearoa. I suggest you do some homework instead of coming through with your assumptions.
whenever I hear a white supremacist claim America is a white nation, I shake my head and cringe.
DELTA-SKY LIGHT honestly I don’t blame you, but given the fact that I’m white, I’d have to stand against those aspirations.
@DELTA-SKY LIGHT You should thank the West that you're no longer in the stone age.
@@the_medicine_peddler8324 you should thank the natives for letting mexico live..
DELTA-SKY LIGHT Whites were indigenous people once too (everyone was once indigenous to a continent for that matter). They were the first race of people to be colonized (via the Roman Empire).....this was long before Natives were colonized. Before that, whites were of Viking, Barbarian, and Celtic tribes. I realize Romans were White as well, but nonetheless, that was the first sign on earth of mass colonization of one ethnicity over another. Essentially, whites did to other races what was done to them long before. I’m not condoning it....but any person who wants to dig deeper into it would realize that their history is definitely a setting event to them colonizing others. Europe is and always has been much more crowded and has tons of different cultures crammed next to each other. Mass scale warfare was going on there long before it was in North America. I’m sure there was tribal warfare in North America, but nothing on the level of what was going on in Europe.
I shake my head at your notion it isn't. The United States, was founded and built up by mostly white people. Now you could make the argument the _continent_ isn't white. That's fair and true, but the nation itself is.
By your logic Iran is a white nation because before the Arabs conquered it, it consisted of Indo-Europeans.
I'm Cherokee and I want all of my native people to know that YOU MATTER AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT
These people aren’t even full blood “native” look at their skin color. They are mixed so they can’t say they are actual “native”. I’m even 15% native with blonde hair blue eyes lol
Your tribe don't mean a thing to me, I see myself as human being. Unlike you who wants to keep racism alive.
What about the ongoing genocide they avoided talking about? Or other modern problems/ issues facing us?
It really touched me when the young woman with the glasses told the story about
her grandfather. Bless his heart,he wants to protect her but his actions hurt her heart. I hope that he can come to an agreement with her and finally come out of his room.I love what the young woman said with pride about her name.🌺
What action? All he is doing is being black ?
@@SolAya21 He stays in his room when native people come over because he doesn't want her to be embarrassed by him and his connection to her. She is proud that he's Black, and that she is mixed and wants him to come out of his room.
@@jenniferjacksonescogido7093 yeah I understand that. I just think it's important to realize that this is what it means to be Black in practically any western dominated society. It is to be shunned, hated, and be vilified. The old man is doing what he knows he has to do because of the racism in his society. There is no agreement he needs to make with his daughter. The issue is the society that has traumatized him so much that his very existence can cause harm to others. This is the part that mixed people seem to struggle with. He will never come out of his room in his life he has seen enough trauma and pain for his mere existence that in order to keep him safe he refuses to even be outside. So to me as a full black person I understand why he has to do it and I respect him deeply for it because she will not change their views those views will just have to die with their generation (hopefully). In the meantime he gave his daughter a chance to live a normal life but what else can you do. White people have poisoned the world against us. Including a group that should see us as their brother as we have experienced the same level of hate but even they deny us, even though there are probably more black people with land right higher percentages of native blood over white people yet they are the ones native communities are happy to claim and seek approval from. It's sad but it's reality. The action he is performing is not just the literal description of what he did but the reality of what it means to be Black in the world..hated, vilified, demonized and exploited to no ends. I appreciate the natives that understand this but I was surprised this type of racism existed but like with everything being Black I'm not too surprised that another group has found every reason to hate us.
@@jenniferjacksonescogido7093What is black?
I’m native. I’m 50%Cherokee/50%Mohican. I’m native and I am happy . Government just want to divide and conquer people. I’m half of half. I am still proud to be Native
You are what your father is. Seed earth basic concepts
Good for you. God made you who are you,be proud .
@@j.milesyasharahla1381 GAD and Issachar want to continue to languish in their abyss of uniqueness and lack of responsibility. They know the front lines is us and Esau they scared man.
@Jamal Kinnard Lets talk.
Avia Littlehawk With all due respect where did your father come from before he became a Mohican or Cherokee? that is to imply that either two fathers can occupy the same seed or that two fathers can occupy one womb...No sarcasm or animosity fam I'm checking how deep you wanna go man I can help you through this BS the devil has taught all of us.
A big hello from a Mayan native from central America to my indigenous all over the world.
You’d have to recognize the indigenous identity of Europeans to.
Hola, soy japonés y estudio maya!!!
@mkeufish Finno Ugric People are from the Ural Mountains, so I'm not sure why you're bringing them up.

I think all of us natives should be proud because our ancestors had to fight for us to be here
Natives bring such a valuable contribution to this country in spirit and culture. I pray they find peace of mind and a positive way forward.
Natives ARE our country!!
Bs. They were killing each other for land and resources way before white men showed up. Love the lie that they were peaceful lol they were no different then the rest of mankind.
Hmmm. Hawaiian’s have to prove ‘blood quantity’ too. And yes our land, our kingdom was taken forcibly too. I see a common theme here.
I've been hearing about a bigger push for Hawaii to secede from the US and I really hope you can. You deserve to have your home back and your sovereignty.
Scientific Revolution FYI they illegally were annexed. Federal government owes them reparations AT A MINIMUM.
I didn't know colonization was a theme
Yes Kahealani. I have never owned my own home and as a senior I had to prove blood %. Still don’t have a home and my grandparents land was taken by the sugar companies.
808 Dream I am so sorry and I am so sad we didn't get to display the Hawaiian flag in defiance because of stupid police and racists!! I am so mad.
I didn't know Native people had to approve their blood amount. That's messed up
Mr Anderson To be honest, the percentage they ask for is 25% which is low already. It would be disrespectful to true natives by trying to claim assistance when you are example: 15% native and 85% European. If the people are in this video are let’s say 10% native (which some seem to be) they need to stop embarrassing themselves. I’m full black and i have the same amount of European blood (slavery) yet you don’t see me claiming White
Mr Anderson Self hatred is real. I think it came out that she was 0.09% Native. Meaning less than 1%. The only way they try to prove they’re native is by wearing long decorative earrings and doing pigtails. It’s a bit cringe really
Many tribes have no blood quantum requirement for citizenship.
Lee Ross Depends on your tribe. I am 50%Black, and 50% Native American. My momma was full blood Native. There is a card that shows your percentage. My tribe considers a person a part of our tribe if they are 50%, or more. They are trying to save our tribe’s blood as pure as they can. Sucks though because I have nieces and nephews who will never be a part of our tribe, but they can say they have Native blood in them because they are 75% Black. I have some Black features, but my Native side is more prominent. I have a strong red tone to my brown skin along with coal black straight hair, and I understand along with speak our tribal language. I never lived on our reservation, but I go back to visit. I speak English all of the time for the most part because I live in a city. I represent my Native culture as well as Black culture.
Yes that is crazy
Obama said it best!
“If your not Native American, you came from somewhere else?!”
Even Native Americans came from somewhere else, if you start going down that rabbit hole then the deeper it gets.

Native Americans came from south east asia 16 000 years ago during the ice age.
Yet we’re all on the same rock floating through space
Another good example of listening to people instead of just talking about them.
Native American president. I really hope that we get one . God bless all native Americans
Bibiano Bautista 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Proud Luiseño
Never going to happen. We only have one medical doctor from Navajo nation in Arizona.
Stella Moreno Beebe thanks what you think
You need to have Native president.. cz if you see here in India we got prime minister who puts country and Hindu's first so we are progressing.. so you also need a great leader
My great grandparents were Native. I miss them. I miss hearing their stories. I wish they were still alive
Share their stories, so they will stay alive🙏🙏
So aren’t you native as well?
I completely understand what you are feeling. My great-grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. My family always tell me stories about her and how she was and even that part of my family,my culture. She actually married an African American man and loved her family. My family never failed to expose me to that part o my culture even the langue and I’m only 16 years old. So keep digging keep learning you’ll culture. Live it everyday.
MiMi And NyNy wouldn’t that make you Native??? You say that line like you aren’t...
I still get told stories and I love it! Every totem pole has a story to it!
"My family survived Catholicism."
WOW, that speaks a lot.
Loved hearing about their experiences first hand. Thank you.
My wife is a Celt, born and raised, with a strong connection to her family and home, in Ireland. They have never forgotten the incredible gift the Choctaw People gave during the Irish famine, in 1847, even though they were suffering themselves. The Choctow people, having just endured the Trail of Tears, still had the humanity and compassion, to send what little they could spare , to help the Irish, something their English Overlords, refused to do. There is a sculpture, called Kindred Spirits, in Cork, Ireland to commemorate this great gift. It is a circle of eagle feathers, forming a bowl shape, to represent the gift of food. it is a very humbling and emotional experience, to stand there looking at that sculpture, and be reminded of what two great native peoples endured on their own soils, opposite sides of the Atlantic physically, but closer in mind and spirit, then I have ever known two tribes and clans to be.
Not to start anything but did you know that those Natives also owned slaves and their. slaves also endured the trail of tears.I was very disappointed when I learned this ,and the fact that for so long they didn't acknowledge it.
I read about that in school, so you'll be happy to know that somewhere in America we are still learning that history.
Thanks for sharing!
I never knew about that!
The so called American people stole everything and diabetes was used and created in a lab for destruction of the native race of people and know it's chemtrail spraying and other evil and wicked agendas unbelievable but so true WOW
Paul Casson yeah and then the Irish came here and gladly slaughtered native Americans throughout American history example being John Sullivan
Also there was irish landlords in Ireland
When will a native American become president of the USA...
Probably never
Sometime slightly later in the 21st Century at least.
We’ll keep our hopes up!
When will the natives get their land back?
Pretty Girl Indigenous people can either be black or tan, or sometimes even white.
YOKOOAH what lol 😂
Thank you for sharing, this was eye opening. I always thought that proving your Native ties was to prevent non-Native people from taking Native benefits (i.e. college funds), I never before though of it as a way to track "dilution" to the point of no longer providing benefits and stealing back the land provided. I appreciate you sharing that and opening up a narrative I hadn't considered before.
Hello Nicole, how are you doing?
These people are lying they are mongols mixed Europeans
They are immigrants who came here nowhere in real history do indigenous people look like them but the dark brown female you people need to stop in this time we read books you people are a serious joke
😮😮I have brown skin, hazel eyes, black hair. I have no idea what I am , but DNA says I am 40% Native American and a mix of everything else. I don’t know what that means.
"My existence is resistance" is a beautiful phrase. Thank you for sharing.
That should be held up during a protest
It's beautiful but it's also heartbreaking. Because that resistance is daily, it never stops, even when you want it to. Life shouldn't have to revolve around resisting oppressive systems yet here we are.
that phrase is from the Bolshevik revolution. :)

@@juanrisa945 Trust me Indigenous People receive plenty of help/Resources already. You should see them up in Canada. I can't walk through downtown in my city without being begged for either money or a cig by some drunk native missing half their teeth. Some of those who ask actually get mad that I have no handouts for them. Been called quite a few colorful racial names by them too lol.
Natives get countless benefits such as not needing to buy hunting or fishing licenses, and not having to even follow the hunting/fishing rules that non native people have to follow. Also prescription coverage, paid schooling (college/university), along with money from their band office (my ex got $4000 onetime just for being native....)
Then they say that the government is trying to "oppress" them somehow... Like really? They get better rights/opportunities than anyone else in Canada. But it's still not good enough so they got to ask for more and bum off me in the mean time? Lmao
If you want them to be treated "fairly" Then take away all those perks and make them like everyone else. It'll have the 2 sided effect of people no longer seeing them as a bunch of welfare low life's, because now they'll have to work as hard as everyone else to get someplace in life.
The story of native Americans is basically the story of every indigenous people on every continent and every island.
Western civilization diminished tribalism as being beneath western civilization but in reality nationalism and patriotism are the same as tribalism, just rebranded to justify selfishness, hatred, and greed.
Jason Smith Bad argument. It’s also in human nature not to be greedy and enslave what is your point?
chris black he’s saying every culture has done horrible things to each other, the Maori, Australian aboriginals, native Americans.
Brian Is Me My point still stands.
chris black his point was better yours is pretty weak.
John Burton yes like the Anglo saxons or natives of Scotland and Ireland.
The last girl forgot to mention, her family survived The Bloody Aztec Empire thanks to Spaniards
I grew up being told I was native, and being told many different things about my native heritage. When I got older I found out that my family knew next to nothing about our heritage. We all grew up being told that all natives make dreamcatchers and wear feathers in their hair, in what I would later learn is called culture appropriation. The knowledge that my family had on our culture was essentially erased from generation to generation. I had a really good teacher in High School teach me and my classmates about the thousands of different tribes that I had not known before. I was able to get more specific answers from my mother on which native tribes we thought we descended from, but I want to know for sure.
It's going to be awhile before I can do that, but it absolutely breaks my heart on how little I and my family know.
I am Navajo, Creek, and Seminole! i love being native, i’m so blessed and wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world.
Wow that"s great. I just have a question: Based on statistics, the native american population in the US is the lowest. So is there a pressure for a full-blood native american to marry another full blood so as to "preserve" the native american race?
Sure you driving a car, flaying a plane, ride a horse, use electricity, and taking gov. HANDOUTS, yes life is easy in a land of the white creator, inventor, HAWK.
@@karlos_infamous where i am no cares anymore, we all just joke about it but never forget what happened.
@@sanny6295 wow thats cool. However, i just find it annoying that some white people like johnny depp and elizabeth warren always claim native american ancestry and identify as such 😅 when in fact, they don't have native blood
@Time Allen i disagree; i don't think preserving native ancestry is racist.
Proud of my African, Shoshone , and Cherokee Native blood 🙌🏽‼️
what part of africa you from?
You have relatives in Africa ?
@DroidXPhone No ! Do you ? Respect others as well...
Continue to be happy love forget these comments ❤️
Osiyo
It's good to see American natives thriving. They are a great example of resiliency.
I'm half native and I couldn't care less. The world today is not the world of yesterday, and it's time to grow up.
Oh cool, what tribe?
I really do hope that we get a Native American president. Please
*It sounds empowering but more important to that is that we, like the African American civil struggle, do recognize that this land was part of first nations with culture and governance. I do not believe first nations want to assimilate to the colonial culture or way of governance, we dont have anything to offer to them honestly if we look at the mess we are in. Coexistence and respect would be the supreme achievement NOT the presidency of a corrupt and faulty system and society.*
Nani Sunami why does it matter? It's just the color of their skin.
Why lol. We need a qualified president, regardless of their skin colour.
Nani Sunami oh my god i pray for it and im white
drew quick ~Not blood, DNA...originating when the continents still connected through the Bering Strait. If you're going to talk about history, there's much more that you need to understand about it! White people, Vikings, came and conquered, then Europeans, the 'original', indigenous people's are all Related!
That “one drop black ... one drop anything else” point is important.
Many forget we are souls spirit and walk the circle of life
@Sherazade Mayers, You are more than walking flesh randomly evolved, and one can live many lifetimes, to gain and understand through experience. Much native youth will harbor mixed feelings about this, and many do not even take a second glance at what our ancestors have taught nor learn from it.
Listening to how Native is considered makes me realize that it’s part of the white man tactic! I was watching that show by Henry Gates and he talked about how if your mother was a slave then you were a slave also! They did it this way because many of the fathers weren’t slaves and they couldn’t enslave by generations if they could be free through the father! I think that’s part of why you’re Native through your mother! There were some black families who had a white mother and ended up being free because their mother was free! I never knew this until Russell Wilson’s tree was revealed 😱 History is just twisted!
@@MercyAlwyz23 It depends on the people, some inherit a clan through the mother others like my own it is through the father. The best source of information is from the people themselves as no "Tribe" is exactly;y alike, though many things are shared in common, as many view, the only separation is that of our languages.
Oshkaabewis Debwewin ok thank you for clarifying.
I grew up in Canada, and native culture was present in education, however it was very whitewashed. I and many of my peers left school with a lot of unanswered questions, racial biases, and misinformed ideas about native culture. A conversation like this one never happened. Thank you for sharing…❤
We are here.
"My existence is resistance"
Powerful
I disagree
I disagree as well. This vid was some left wing dramatic bullcrap
F22 fighter jet Try some other outlets then. You’ll see that most natives say very similar things.
Why resist when you can go around? That is more akin to the Native mind than anything. Just goes to show these kids are living perspectives thrust upon them by manipulative puppet masters that have always striven to control the Native Peoples....and apparently, sadly...it's still working with 'some' of the Native Youth today.
LOL!
Love these docs on Native people. We never learn about the problems faced by the native community in school or in the news.
To bad you won't know D real truth this American doesn't want to listen they got there heads buried in the sand my hope is that they wake up & realize we are all 1 people & race.
well you never had any schools before the white man arrival, so now you just take of the feathers and learn.
ElusiveCube natives were the ones who taught how to tell time, days like the calendar etc but what would you know 🙄
@@Emm486 Time as a measured interval was first made by the Greek man Ctesibius some 600 BC, in Alexandria, ancient farmers also measured the seasons for timing the harvests, you should go to school the tribal chief is teaching you some irrelevant knowledge, now the whole world is laughing at you WE HAVE FOUND YOU IN A STONE AGE WAKE UP!!!. we do not inherited from a TRIBAL INDIAN AS MUCH AS A BOWL OF SOUP, everything you eat, drive, fly IS WHITE.
@@ElusiveCube ha ha ha ok roy rogers settle down
Fascinating and profound. We need more videos like this.
This was a culture changing documentary in my home. Thank you for making my family more sensitive to those around us, and encouraging us to recognize the continuing violence and pain that Caucasian cultures and power structure cause. We owe you.
Give up all your possessions and give them to the tribes or natives directly. Until you do you are simply virtue signaling.
@@ronaldlincoln2935how about the elite does that?
Yep. I am all for it. All whities should give their land and possessions to indigenous people. They talk a big game, but never do it. I have nothing, so I have nothing to give away.@@AlienTraveller9
People can say whatever they want, but Natives are still around and they were here first.
can we europeans indigenous to europe do the same or do we get called racist when we dont want more migration...?
Agree
@Winston Beltran so that makes you ignorant on judgment of others while your not accepted or acknowledged you look down on people mixed.
That will solve the problem says no one.
@@ojberrettaberretta5314 If natives would be against immigration they might be called racists too. Instead, they are the ones suffering from racism, which is completely crazy, cause they are the ones being in their home continent. Maybe think if native european would be suffering from racism from immigrants, thats completly stupid
As a Shoshone/ Cherokee mix, It's truly sad that our culture is the largest genocide in history but it's never talked about or just plain hidden. I remember going to a white mans school as a kid and learning about the white version of history, Now a days, the Native culture is all but completely erased from history books.
*Nowadays
@Elijah Wilson That's all you got? That 's all there is to native history and culture?
@Elijah Wilson Of course! But is that all Native American culture means to you? You know what? Don't answer.
why didn't you go to a native school?
I here you! That's what they did to the aborigines in Australia. These criminal now sit on these throwns and are honoured for what I ask. Reparation needs to happen and certain people need to be on trail dispite their status
1:07 This is how native Europeans feel in London, Brussels, Berlin, Malmö, and Paris. And we need to start talking about it.
You reap what you sow
@@Jason21012 That makes zero sense. Go flood Mongolia with Arabs, Eastern Europeans, and several other ethnicities they exterminated. Go flood Japan with Filipinos and Papa New Guineas, or maybe even the White Australians they tortured during WWII. No race is innocent. And I’m speaking up for indigenous Europeans who NEVER LEFT THE CONTINENT MIND YOU. And all countries in Europe are under genocide right now whether they had a colonial empire or not. Every race has at one point in time been imperialist, colonial, practiced slavery, etc. you’re just upset that Whites did it better. You reap what you sow. We’ll be sure to remember to tell that when we…. Kick you out of our country you insist on living in despite hating us? LOL What race are you and what country do you live in?
@@Jason21012im sorry but what?? Since when germány colonized turkey?? Since when sweden colonize anyone?? You have to stop putting europeans in one bag swetie most inmigrants in netherlands and germány are turkish and middle eastern, turkey was a colonizer country to Just for your info, belgium Just colonized one country and it wasnt even for belgium benefit as just the king of belgium had acces to it, in the case of britain and france i can see where you are coming from but the modern people and even in those times arent responsible for the crazy rich élite desicions you think most peasents and common folks in britain had any life better just from colonies they were exploited to specially during the industrial revolution kids and men
Seems like you should have talked about it before the people you elected destroyed your countries. Too busy mocking Americans for being dumb gun-toting cowboys though.

😂🤣😂Survived??😂🤣😂With 85% of population of India (more than a billion people on the face of the Earth)
By that measure, the true survivors of India are the SCSTOBCs/Dalits out of the thousands of years of Upper Caste oppression which, by the way is carried even to this very day, everyday, every moment of the day...
Comparing yourself with the natives of the US??😂🤣😂
Those natives are barely 1-2% of the entire US population today, living in the worst poverty in far flung reservation land in the middle of nowhere, with NO political, economic, bureaucratic, military representation in the US. Is that scenario even "REMOTELY" comparable??😂🤣😂

Please do more on Native Americans, i want to learn the unspoken truth
Read a history book. Not just the ones they force you to read in school.
Check out an idigenous history of the united states by Roxane Dunbar ortiz. It will be much better than anything the New York Times could offer.
One thing that people don't realize is that European and Indigenous lived together for hundreds of years, intermarrying and exchanging culture. There are millions upon millions of people in the United States who have Native Ancestry. And yet some out there believe only those of "pure" ethnicity should be recognized as Native to this land. There are only 8 people left who speak my Native language. None of them are "pure". So I guess we no longer exist. And my brother shouldn't be teaching his children the language, because after all, what does it matter. According to many Indigenous people, we are too watered down to be recognized. Racism comes in many forms. Never be ashamed of who you are. Do not let people tell you that you are less because of what blood you carry.
Native Americans are the first and original Americans.

well the weird thing is even europeans are mixed, for example greek, persians, indians (indo-aryans) were first large empires in the world, the greeks are middle eastern they went to europe and colonised people there, then romans colonized europe , then came the 2nd roman empire the Khazar-German empire, that went to colonize germany and britain, britain/france/spain off shoots of roman empire went to colonise other countries, also in middle east/ north africa egyptians were first to have large empire then came the ummayads who were from north africa, then came the turks who ruled over arabs and entire middle east, then came genghis khan. Meet even im mixed german ashkenazi here.
Natives slaved people also they should get off the white man and look in there own past even pass when the European came and Christopher Columbus wasn’t the first to find America just the first to survive to tell the rest of the world native bows was the best killing weapon at the time but once the riffle came it was able to over power that being said there was other races that made it to America but couldn’t survive when they crossed pass the native Indians.

I am American Indian, and the constant March in race baiting and using skin color/or special group which is the basically the only thing that’s very important about you. Race is now how a person obtains and develops their Identity. Things like character, morals, authenticity, treating your neighbor with all the dignity which they deserve and you as well. A society which idealizes Victimhood is a society that will fail. Notice most people who are “victims” tend to occupy a certain block within our culture? Hint, acting like a victim, despite what a culture might have said you were, is a certain route to depression, anxiety, hostilities, a very limited scope AND incredibly biased view on the world and mankind’s available knowledge. “Let the first person or tribe or nation that is without sin cast the first stone.” I wised up to this very young. I learned what MY people did to other Native Americans and it makes my stomach turn BUT I DONT JUDGE PEOPLE FROM A DIFFERENT ERA WITH TODAYS IDEALS. The world was a savagely violent place where people killed or were killed, sometimes for no easily visible reason. AND all major cultures did this, ALL races did this, And yea that includes us Indians ok folks? And if you doubt that, I can point you to truck loads of reference material to learn true history. I am Native American yes but I am an American first and always a human being infinitely. I rarely wake up thinking, oh poor me the victim like many minorities in our world today as they have been brainwashed by toxic ideals and toxic people. I gave up this destructive viewpoint luckily, but many it appears haven’t been so lucky. Oh no, that wasn’t luck. It was a CHOICE……

I am so happy that this video got made (though the oppression of natives sickens me). Any chance we could get an update on how these people are doing today? Much love and keep up the good fight from Germany. Will use this in my English classes to show what "manifest destiny" and "progress" meant and means to a vast number of people.
Progress. such a great word. And still today used to defend the leftist encroachment into everything great about our (American, or any) culture. The Metaverse all this other nonsense.. "You can't stop progress." "Progress" .. the same words used to justify what was done to the Indians and the wildlife of this nation. It's because the same people, or people who believe the same exact way, are the ones leading the charge. The World Economic Forum, the Silicon Valley aristocrat CEOs who talk in private about how to change the world without a care to what any of us want.
It's all the same type of thinking. So great that you brought those things up.
It saddens me that most of these types (people who support natives, people who love and support preserving nature and primitive ways of life) fully support the Democrats and leftist politicians of our time because of the false thinking that they care about them and the environment. The only thing they care about and the only thing they ever cared about is power. This is why you never see any of their supposed causes getting any better.
Racism is all but gone 99% .... but they still constantly harp on it how women and black people are oppressed... Do they EVER talk about Natives ?? No. Do they EVER talk about actual oppression in other countries in the Middle East or elsewhere where geocide is occurring? NEVER. And in fact the activists who do talk about that are shunned and exiled by the Democrats / leftists. Never allowed to speak and never in the same platforms as the leftists.
The Democrats have been in power now and control of the Executive and both halves of the legislative branch since 2020 and what has been done for natives? Nooooothing.
And nothing ever will.. I realize you're in Germany but it's probably the same the world over. Natives aren't high enough in numbers to help them win elections. Probably the main reason why they don't give af about them.

Beautiful words ❤ I wish ppl from both Americas, like REAL ones, had much more to say in "mass media" than they do. Their culture is as beautiful and diverse as that of Ancient Europe before christianisation. As a Polish, and therefore Slavic, woman, I totally stand for total and unusurped freedom of every nation, belief and culture, as long as it does not bring harm to innocents ❤ Native American and Old Asian people are my very favorite. It's sad that China, Japan, Korea, India and Philippines became so comercialised, just like we here in Europe. Little to nothing remained out of their raw original beliefs. Noone prays to Slavic Gods anymore, little to noone takes the Norse pantheon and values seriously, Taoist metaphysics have becime sugarcoated and forgotten, African countries became so infused with christianity and islam that if You practice Your Native ways there, they'll call You a "witch". Similar thing can be said here in Poland, though noone here had died because of it, luckily... What I mean is.... When entire world seem to have largely forgotten their Roots, the Natives of both American continents still hold and cling strong to their unaltered culture, believes and traditions. It's such a rare gem. We ALL should take a HUGE inspiration from these wonderful people. Something we could all learn and benefit from. Lakota, Navajo, Apache, or any other tribe and nation, BE PROUD of who You are, cause You surely, trully deserved it ❤ Love from Poland 🇵🇱

For sure. you know the phrase all men are created equal was written by Thomas Jefferson.

I'm a white mut born and raised in a town in between two reservations. Mom's boyfriend was Mexican, his kids Native/Mexican. Only sadness I saw was how one reservation had a lot of opposition to teaching town folk, not the town folk from hindering the reservation. Gladly, the community in both town and reservation are learning together and love the land just the same. I did see drugs as a common threat, town or reservation. I have been invited to ceremonies and a lot of good people just want to teach/learn. We can only unite when everyone is willing to learn. My white history made it seem like I was destined to be an alcoholic, German/Irish. History shows that every group of people fought for land. History also shows insane people do insane things. Destiny is not our past, it's our actions that shape our future. I strongly believe everyone needs to learn how to take care of whatever land they are on. People as a whole are very wasteful and greedy.
And many of them are.

My existence is resistance is absolutely it. Although I had lost EVERYTHING because my European ancestors were colonized as invasive, nosy Christians by the Syrians, I regained some of the understanding why I'm different back after doing the second DNA test from a second company (I live in India). It showed that I have DNA from 12 different pools, including NW Africa, Native American (Pima County and Central American, both of which I didn't even know about) Tuvan, and SE India in ascending order, aside from my European pools. India is the largest DNA pool after Sardinia. Sardinia needs to be looked at further to see if there's any mixing of blood there. But somehow, that Indian mindset survived hundreds of years or maybe a few thousand years. This DNA report explained EVERYTHING about my life, being deaf, growing up Heathen and seeking for answers outside of the usual Christian environment I found myself hemmed in and having to fight it in deep south Texas, and eventually, gradually growing into a Hindū mindset over 25+ years unconsciously until I found out over 5 years ago that I'm really Hindū. I finally found out what I am based on what I have experienced as a person. It all makes sense now.

Hello Margaret,how are you doing?
As a european it's weird to see Americans obsession with race and their quest to divide each other by it.
You obviously need to understand American history because since the inception of the country’s founding, race was a huge part of its early days. Colonial notions of race around slavery & tribes predate America’s founding & were enforced afterwards. Europeans created the race machine that allowed their expansion but it’s too late to turn it off after 300 years, it’s ugly legacy has a life of its own.
I remember a native was talking on NPR radio on how this is occupied land and how we are occupiers, then the radio went to static. My guess was the government didn't want people to hear the truth.

Btw, I do agree that we are just occupiers, none of us own the land.

I'm only 1/32 native Miami, grew up entirely removed from the culture with zero exposure to it. My great great grandmother was forcefully assimilated into society when she married a white man (I'm not sure if the marriage was willing, but I doubt it) and when her only surviving child was white passing, he discarded the culture entirely. Now I'm 97% white and 3% Miami and I keep hearing mixed things about what it is to reconnect, and if I should. On the one hand, the Miami nation encourages reconnection so long as you have proof of heritage, but on the other, I hear so many concerns as to if it's appropriate for white individuals to "reconnect" in order to be a member of a racial minority. And no part of me is native, not my appearance or my culture or my upbringing, only a small drop of water in the lake of my genes. And then again, I hear stories that this shouldn't discourage me because the government uses blood quantum to erase the indigenous, that if I have ancestors that are native and I embrace the culture, language and customs then that determines my nativeness- not my appearance or race. But it seems very confusing, and for a group that's suffered so much, the last thing I would want is to trudge all over their culture and rob it from them.
And native Americans are not dead you'll find full blooded in Mexico,Central and south America.

Nicole H fire blood nation!!
Exactly. My bf is from a northern tribe and they're very, very mixed and lighter skinned. We were discussing skintone one day and he seemed confused as to why I referred to natives as medium skinned, since all the natives he knew had light skin, so it must be a myth.
I found out I am also NA,29%, and I'm light/medium skinned(I am 60% european),darker than his mom who is apparently 1/2. My dad is medium, he would be about 60% Native, his mom is medium/tan, she would likely be an even higher %. They are from Mexico.
It all depends on the region and how much mixing there has been. Generally, I feel like you won't find many porcelain natives, so that is why I was saying "medium"; it's a general umbrella term that applies to most, not all.
Nicole H I kinda don't care ! Being native is in a person's soul. Sometimes you can feel peace with nature. Where white blood always craves more paper money.

Here in Brazil, 300 years ago the emperor implemented a program to create the Brazilian ethnicity, mixing natives and whites. The all-white, black and native population are minority.🇧🇷
love to hear Liz Warren's take on this
I am a Seminole ,Cherokee and Iroquois mix. They just refer to me as African- American. I am more American than they could ever be. The problem is compulsory education. When we let someone else tell us our history.
Stop whining nobody is stopping you learning your own history.
It's your phenotypes that they look at
@Kevin K 😆😆
@Michelle M when you say "y'all" who do you mean?
@Michelle M right....so all white Americans are ancestors of people who killed "native" Americans and therefore guilty of backstabbing?....and all non-white Americans have nothing to do with American history?
This was an interesting video.To the young woman who couldn't talk without crying--My heart broke for you and you were very brave to say the things you said through your tears.Racism is a human thing, not a racial thing and the more I learn, the more clear that becomes.
I appreciate this video; my respect to those Natives in the video and to the author of this video! Thank you.
I’m Ethiopian Messianic Hebrew and I’ve been standing with y’all for sometime now. We have a large community with Ethiopian Hebrews and Natives. We will unite and bring down the house!
