From an old Irish chick in south Florida, PLEASE KNOW, there are whites out here who love and appreciate the uniqueness of Your culture. Please, stand PROUD. Your People are loved and admired by non natives. My ancestors were friends with yours, your People saved my ancestors lives, and were almost as surprised by government's invasion and take over as your People were... you'll always be in my heart. I would not be here without the help Your people provided. Forever grateful!!!
The irish where both clonizers and the colonized a lot of Irish people Anglo Irish served in the Brtish empire where born in modern day Republic of Ireland or Modern day Northern Ireland look up the names of statesman soliders cvil servants
Natives are the only race I think should stay mostly pure. There aren't as many pure blood Indians any more. Settlers and army men killed them. They are an important part of our national history that is dying out.
I absolutely agree, but sadly, most if not all real native north americans are sadly extinct. There are still a lot of real native americans in latin america, but I'm afraid that if they don't get their own countries, they'll be slowly racially assimilated by the non-native majority.
Have so much respect for Native Americans. A lot of them look Hispanic. I know I have some indigenous blood me from El Salvador. I am proud and love to learn about all natives of north and South America.
I am an African American Nursing student doing research on the Native American culture, traditions and health concerns. I love this clip! I have never heard about this show and I watch PBS at least 1 day/wk. WE NEED TO KNOW AND DESIRE TO KNOW MORE! So, thanks for being open and honest about your thoughts...please continue to keep us informed! ONE
I think it's not right to call them "indians" . I am an Indian...and my country India means the land of river Indus...So just because one idiot had no navigation skills i think its wrong to call native americans "indians". It is insulting to them and us as well.
they have agreed to that title for generations. The word "indian" changed overtime as English changes. Pretty sure back then they were just thinking Indian=tribal people. That is why they also call them native Americans more often than "native indians." Btw, should u be more concerned with other more important things than whining about being insulted just because people back then used some word to call others?
Draconic Ryuken lol...calm down draco. i have read many other sites where some native Americans don't like to be called that that's why i was voicing my opinion.. lol. if they like to be called that frankly i don't give a fuck then. And yes seems like the "indians" have much more to be worried about. :) have a good day.
It depends on the person you ask. You cannot speak for every Native American/Indian. Some are fine with either title, some are fine with only one. It all goes down to the individual. Some don't like "Native American" because it makes them sound like people of the past as if they have died out. Etc, etc.... just depends on the person.
I agree. India is a South Asian country. The term "Indian" came from Columbus who thought he landed in India, so that's why Nativer Americans are called "Indian". I think it's stupid and I cringe every time a Native American calls themselves that and then defends the title. Indians do not come from the Americas.
As an older navajo man i want tell to all young native americans/ generation always keep your tribe heritage: teaching, languages, wisdoms and especially in your homeland. There is so much to learn about our cultures. Where i live in new mexico there are still ancient dwellings.
I'm from Panama & we are all Racially Mixed....Indigenous, Afr, Sp. I've read /seen vids of the xtian schools your Elders suffered in. It's so good that they survived that,to bring you into the world, that churches were never able to destroy your Culture. So beautiful!
I'm glad to see this. I wish there was a Native American reservation for every tribe indigenous to the United States. Also, it would be nice if there was at least one in each state. Additionally, it would be nice to learn Indigenous American languages. Also, learning about the different tribes and cultures.
Kirby3585 No, if you're mixed you're not a native american, sorry. I'm mixed myself but I admit I'm not or will ever be a native american (even though I'm proud of my native side).
It's true about color. Also, the Dravidians of southern India are now back to black skin, while their genetic ancestors of 40,000 years ago were white like the Arians and those of 75 000 years were black as the Ethiopians are ... the color of the skin adapts to the latitude and sunshine through a few hundred generations.
The American Indians are perhaps the most relevant people in the world we should be learning from. They are some of the best people we could hope to meet, having American Indian friends.
Ashford Miner Thanks, I am currently working to help provide economic and job creation advice to one of the Sioux tribes, I find the American Indian culture and heritage fascinating and I do all I can to promote the rich culture of the people. One of my great friends was half Commanche and a WW2 veteran, I found him to be very interesting and some one I miss now.
Also, some Solutrean weapons found in Virginia, show us that the taking of territory by Europeans dates back over 17,000 years, they sailed along the southern edge of the ice, which was crossing the Atlantic at the latitude of Newfoundland, and were hunting seals and bears (broadcast on Arte of 30/12/2004). They were the ancestors of the current Basque population, genetically identified as the oldest Europeans.
Yes! They are our ancestors. I am a descendant of the Susquehannock, Wolf Clan. The only reason we survived was from the safe refuge from the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabeg tribes and the French. The Susquehannock are a white tribe, said to be extinct, yet still not recognized as Indigenous. We are not extinct, most don't know or are too fearful to say out loud that they are descendants of the Susquehannock. I hope this changes.
ido too much about native American people..their beautiful and from my rare association as a kid growing up in Oklahoma City...i found them to have a skill for humor and laughter truly a blessing
....... ?? But you don't even treat your Native Australians right. ~Aboriginals~ Why do you want Natives there? History has shown your people to be extremely racist and intolerant of the people who are original to the land.
You have to understand Historically there a Millions who are Native American and are unable to be apart of the dying cultures because of Blood Quantum laws, Skin Color ect. Your correct in the idea that being a true member of the tribe is to know and have strong identity in the culture. However there are millions of people who are dumped in the white or black demographics who have the brains and hearts to revive the culture since it is dwindling.Those same souls are most definitely our relatives
I'm not native at all, both of my parents are immigrants, and yet I still call America home. However, I respect their culture though, and I wish I could learn more about their culture. Peoples misconceptions is what causes the real stories to die out.
As funny as that is, why do you have to call every white person a wasicu? Not every white person is greedy, taking the best. Were all people, we all have feelings, and dreams, and a spirit, so why hate each other?
Please love who you are as individuals, as a community, as family but most importantly for exactly who you are and where your from. I absolutely love the whole concept of your cultures and beliefs and traditions. I wish the rest of the so called modern western world would have the same values in life. I love your traditions and strong beliefs the best. ❤😇❤
I have to agree with @trooper Stew. Indigenous people of the Americas have come from northern asia, and have settled in different areas in the Americas, such as Canada, the US, Mexico and Peru. The indigenous people of Mexico, are Native to the Americas, and can be the descendants of the peoples who settled in the Americas 10,000+ years ago. Therefore, the Mexicans are Native Americans. Don't like it, that's fine. It's evolution.
"Evolution" Wathelll!!???.. The "connection" tht WE had w..our Asian ancestors..if any.. died..nd NO LONGER EXISTS..This is a proven scientific fact.. Native American DNA is genetically UNIQUE!!!.. "WE ARE HERE_ _ _ "WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE"...
When they say that we are the same as them that has always been true just because in the past they lived different ways then us that doesn't make them different. We are all the same just because we live differently shouldn't matter but it does for some weird reason. Some ex friends I had didn't want to be my friends anymore because I'm 1/5 Native American which is stupid. But that doesn't matter because we are and always are the same. :)
4TIMESAYEAR Actually scientists have proved that there are many different human races. All belong to the human specie, but as every animal on this planet, there are also human races.
Just wipe off the word "Indians" from the description. These guys are native Americans. Indians are the people who come from the land of Indus which was the world's greatest civilisation and full of wealth, gold and spices and it was that land the white Europeans were after and not these folks. Well, eventually Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese did find us.
It was so interesting for me because same things are happen in Japan. Ainu-indigenous people in Japan also face discriminations/difficulties because of their looks and cultures...:( I respect the Native Americans they are great and have beautiful cultures;) fighting!
87willus What a lame-duck answer. 'Mestizo' does not signify, in any way shape or form, exact equal proportions (50/50) of Native-American/European. Also, most or many mestizos usually tend to carry more Native-American ancestry and are only labeled as mestizos due to them self-identifying under the umbrella of "Mexican" and/or cultural de-attachment (ignorance/self-hate).
Thank you for posting this video! Please keep posting more educational videos about Native Americans. I love it. Very educational. Native Americans language should be an official language in the U.S. There is no Native Americans' holiday in the U.S. to honor Natives. That is disturbing!
Excuse me for my english because I'm french. American Indigenous would be a better word than Indian or Native. But this is not the problem. I'm really choked that white Americans don't want to admit that a genocide has occurred in America. They should learn that at school as we do in Europe with nazism and the jew genocide. That would be good for everybody. That's upset me Americans try to give lessons to the world and are unable to face reality in their country. By the way I'm far from to be an anti american so don't blame me. I'm interested with some aspects of the american culture and I'm always sad for the "natives". 4.4 millions that's ridiculous :( That not even half of the inhabitants of Paris and suburbs, but in a giant country. For all the haters, if people could respect each other that would a major step for humanity.
Ginger Jam apparemment ils préfèrent se faire appelés les natives, au moins ça démontre que c'est leur pays à la base, alors qu'indigène c'est péjoratif.
So easy to say what this country should teach and not "like in France". before making statement of any kind people look at themself in the mirror France has it own issues with some part of the population consequenses of both slavery and colonisation. and until now because France refuse to face the reality of its unglory past we're still struggling with a lot of negativity. Oh yes they teach in school about the nazis and all that (which is absolutly normal) but they teach enough about the other darkest pasts of this country. It's not that different after all check out how very well right wingers are doing in France now and people affiliated to them and/or their cause always easier to judge other without judging itself first sad.
Where do you read I said France is perfect ? Nowhere. I know there are big problems here and I know the inglorious past of my country because we learn it at school (not enough but we learn it). By the way I don't judge I make a difference between governments and people of a country. Ciao.
I see more White people talking like they are Native American than Black, but many natives don't seem to have any problem with this. I am Black (as I have always identified) but have a lot of native Blood and probably more than the White people who I see in everyday life.
This just shows how ignorant your are. In the tribe where my dad's ancestors are from the Shinnecock nation we are educated about how a lot of our people intermarried (many africans and irishs) for practical and non practical. This is why our tribe is so diverse.
Native americans are decendant from asians,a full blooded one will have part of asians features and characteristics such as their squenty eyes.Native americans cross a land bridge which doesn't exist anymore.Eskimos are also asians,not white,black or whatever race.Hawians are also asians or polynesians.Native american do not have pale skin like chinese people,they have tan. There are hardly any full blooded native americans,now that they are mixed alot of people will not see one with asian characteristic thinking they came from whites or black people even hispanic. Check out this video of how a full blooded native american will look like. (NATIVE AMERICANS short video full blooded indigenous)
Natives have been here dating 50,000 year's (or more)And DNA just says we are more related to each other than to any Asian population's. So that THEORY is not true. Sorry.
***** ''The earth and universe is ended more then 6000 years old'' You are quoting from the bible lol this isn't a religious discussion. scientists have given many different estimates so your ''proof'' is invalid.
Joseph Phon Thank you for bringing to my attention that it is a cultural identity, I possibly meant to say "Latino" but, I feared it wasn't politically correct.
I know what you mean i was for the first 20yrs of my life raise in East la in California going back and forth on weekends to the pecanga reservation. every person.i know in LA was mexican. or black.
+N8tivePatriot565 Most mexicans have native descent though. Just because they have been conquered by a different nation (that being Spain) and now speak a different language from natives in the US and Canada, doesn't make them any less native.
The color of your skin is not your Identity if you don't want it to be. Its all about the will to learn about your heritage and be blessed with that connection to it. You are blessed to have that been immersed in your heritage, but there's so many who are just like you are barred from such a thing because the biggest problem facing the Tribes today isn't alcoholism, diabetes, poverty, but it's fear and segregation, things taught by the White Controlled Government. Humans aren't meant to be apart
ummm...there is no law that says that these people still have to live on reservationsO.o Be like every other american and just pull your-self up from your boot-straps and make a new life for yourself!
its kinda the other way around because alot of mexican americans,and a few traditional mexicans have native american ancestry,and traits due to them either being a mestizo,or having native american ancestors from a long time ago.
I agree that tribes should keep their cultures, but it's dangerous to assume that they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps when they don't have proper resources, or even basic living conditions, on most reservations. Ideally, there should be organizations that work WITH the community to figure out what is needed to flourish and keep traditions alive, whether through financial or other means. And there are other ways to support - raising awareness about harmful stereotypes, for instance
Each tribe is a sovereign nation and determines citizenship not always by blood. Also, each tribal citizen has a family history that reflects the larger history of the United States and can have ancestry from all over the world and that is a beautiful thing. Its about kinship and expanding the hoop and those are central ideas to who we are as NDN people.
I can't speak for all natives but many take pride in their heritage. So, being told you look Asian or Hispanic, (the two most common mistakes) can be an insult. Native's have their own distinct features like any other ethnicity, and it even depends on what type of native you are. Most ppl just don't assume native when you meet someone, cuz its not that common. But my point is no one really wants to be told they look like something they aren't, or they don't identify with. ~ I'm also Ojibwe.
Native Americans are very smart people and I just love the way they think and their understanding of earth.
im native and black. my grandma had very long hair and would sing songs to me when i was young.. i miss her
From a Maori woman to your beautiful culture stand up, stay strong and always carry your ancestors in your hearts, life and future Kia Ora!.
Dont let your race extinct.
Protect your race, your people, your tribe. We are not all the same. Every race is special.
I aim higher...I protect my nation. I am a 'MURICAN, a citizen of a great and mighty nation!

Natives are the only race I think should stay mostly pure. There aren't as many pure blood Indians any more. Settlers and army men killed them. They are an important part of our national history that is dying out.
I kind of agree. Like everyone can marry who they want, but yeah they risk a lot by marrying outside their race. It sucks.
yes. i am a dying breed.
That sounds stupid, because love is love.ps.rezervations are small not everyone wants to marry there cousin.
I absolutely agree, but sadly, most if not all real native north americans are sadly extinct. There are still a lot of real native americans in latin america, but I'm afraid that if they don't get their own countries, they'll be slowly racially assimilated by the non-native majority.
scarfaced1237 I've heard that when the last Indians is gone then the land will disappear, its just a saying, but that what I heard.
i remember when i went to an american school,everyone didnt like me because im a native and after all these years people give me looks.
Well I accept you !

I'm proud of my Native American ancestry even though I'm a mestizo
No brother, you are not less Native for being mixed! You are fully indigenous if that is how you live your life! Do you know what tribe specifically?

I have to agree with @trooper Stew. Indigenous people of the Americas have come from northern asia, and have settled in different areas in the Americas, such as Canada, the US, Mexico and Peru. The indigenous people of Mexico, are Native to the Americas, and can be the descendants of the peoples who settled in the Americas 10,000+ years ago. Therefore, the Mexicans are Native Americans. Don't like it, that's fine. It's evolution.

Hey thats me , Im Lawrence wow this was done like in 2006 awesome
When they say that we are the same as them that has always been true just because in the past they lived different ways then us that doesn't make them different. We are all the same just because we live differently shouldn't matter but it does for some weird reason. Some ex friends I had didn't want to be my friends anymore because I'm 1/5 Native American which is stupid. But that doesn't matter because we are and always are the same. :)
Absolutely correct. There's only one race: human.
4TIMESAYEAR Actually scientists have proved that there are many different human races. All belong to the human specie, but as every animal on this planet, there are also human races.
Certain distinguishing features that emerged in certain populations do not mean you are a different "race" - there's only one - human.
And how is then this difference between the humans called?
There aren't any "different" human races. There's only one.
Indigenous people's rights need to be protected.
Just wipe off the word "Indians" from the description. These guys are native Americans. Indians are the people who come from the land of Indus which was the world's greatest civilisation and full of wealth, gold and spices and it was that land the white Europeans were after and not these folks. Well, eventually Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese did find us.
And the English in 1607
I really like this culture. If I could travel to the USA, then i will visit the native americans :D
It was so interesting for me because same things are happen in Japan. Ainu-indigenous people in Japan also face discriminations/difficulties because of their looks and cultures...:( I respect the Native Americans they are great and have beautiful cultures;) fighting!
It brings happiness to my eyes every time I watch this.
Mexicans are natives it's in there history and blood
Look up mestizo
Everyone knows we're natives.
They are nothing like us. Haha. No way. 😂😷👌
Mexicans are mix some more or less native
87willus What a lame-duck answer. 'Mestizo' does not signify, in any way shape or form, exact equal proportions (50/50) of Native-American/European. Also, most or many mestizos usually tend to carry more Native-American ancestry and are only labeled as mestizos due to them self-identifying under the umbrella of "Mexican" and/or cultural de-attachment (ignorance/self-hate).
And we love you, Sabina.
I love my Indian nation
They look NOTHING like you...
Or “Indians” of India
👉🏽FIGURE IT OUT!
I am 100% Mongolian. My father is a diplomat to the U.S. and we had to move to the states. I was born here, but grew up in Mongolia.
Yes it dose!! :D
Mama Africa

Thank you for posting this video! Please keep posting more educational videos about Native Americans. I love it. Very educational. Native Americans language should be an official language in the U.S. There is no Native Americans' holiday in the U.S. to honor Natives. That is disturbing!
Excuse me for my english because I'm french. American Indigenous would be a better word than Indian or Native. But this is not the problem. I'm really choked that white Americans don't want to admit that a genocide has occurred in America. They should learn that at school as we do in Europe with nazism and the jew genocide. That would be good for everybody. That's upset me Americans try to give lessons to the world and are unable to face reality in their country. By the way I'm far from to be an anti american so don't blame me. I'm interested with some aspects of the american culture and I'm always sad for the "natives". 4.4 millions that's ridiculous :( That not even half of the inhabitants of Paris and suburbs, but in a giant country. For all the haters, if people could respect each other that would a major step for humanity.
Ginger Jam apparemment ils préfèrent se faire appelés les natives, au moins ça démontre que c'est leur pays à la base, alors qu'indigène c'est péjoratif.
thumbs up :)
So easy to say what this country should teach and not "like in France". before making statement of any kind people look at themself in the mirror
France has it own issues with some part of the population consequenses of both slavery and colonisation. and until now because France refuse to face the reality of its unglory past we're still struggling with a lot of negativity.
Oh yes they teach in school about the nazis and all that (which is absolutly normal) but they teach enough about the other darkest pasts of this country.
It's not that different after all
check out how very well right wingers are doing in France now and people affiliated to them and/or their cause
always easier to judge other without judging itself first
sad.
Where do you read I said France is perfect ? Nowhere. I know there are big problems here and I know the inglorious past of my country because we learn it at school (not enough but we learn it). By the way I don't judge I make a difference between governments and people of a country. Ciao.
+vannina yt It's not pejorative to say "indigenous" but the usage is more common in Canada than in the U.S.
Came here because I was reading a book with Native American characters and needed a picture to imagine.
Oh, human beings of today
We all gotta wake tf up there’s so much mestizos and natives in Latin America we all must unite
I support the native americans..........
0:11 I thought they were hitting the quan.
anyone else except me?
Same here m8! lol
its an eagle dance lmao
Slime On The Moon lovinu
I strongly respect them, and maybe I'll visit them someday. Greetings
I was watching the video and I was serious about it till you see a black guy talking like his a Native American on 3:44
I see more White people talking like they are Native American than Black, but many natives don't seem to have any problem with this. I am Black (as I have always identified) but have a lot of native Blood and probably more than the White people who I see in everyday life.
This just shows how ignorant your are. In the tribe where my dad's ancestors are from the Shinnecock nation we are educated about how a lot of our people intermarried (many africans and irishs) for practical and non practical. This is why our tribe is so diverse.
He's just a native american of black decent(Afro-Indian). Its not hard to understand, I mean he doesn't even look like the average black guy.
He's mixed.
TheSuburbanBase Thats what I said.
He seems like a lovely young boy.
i wish we shared the land with natives
Wtf
Gernnell Miller lol
Actually we do. Those who leave own lot and with gambling have bought more.
This must be a joke
Last time I checked, a American-Indian could by property
Press F to pay respect to these guys
1:32
I am a white man of Europe.
In my heart the Native Americans are fantastic proud people. I love you.
Native americans are decendant from asians,a full blooded one will have part of asians features and characteristics such as their squenty eyes.Native americans cross a land bridge which doesn't exist anymore.Eskimos are also asians,not white,black or whatever race.Hawians are also asians or polynesians.Native american do not have pale skin like chinese people,they have tan.
There are hardly any full blooded native americans,now that they are mixed alot of people will not see one with asian characteristic thinking they came from whites or black people even hispanic.
Check out this video of how a full blooded native american will look like.
(NATIVE AMERICANS short video full blooded indigenous)
***** Their probably all enrolled somewhere, but mixed.
There's lots of full bloods in south america and the far north.
natives are not asian that theory is disproven.
Natives have been here dating 50,000 year's (or more)And DNA just says we are more related to each other than to any Asian population's. So that THEORY is not true. Sorry.
***** ''The earth and universe is ended more then 6000 years old''
You are quoting from the bible lol this isn't a religious discussion. scientists have given many different estimates so your ''proof'' is invalid.
im really curious about these people.. i really love their simple faces..
Marlon Somcio Their complextions looked latino, but with caucasian features.
i remember twilight if i see these people.. Taylor Lautner as Jacob
Latino isn't a race
Joseph Phon
Thank you for bringing to my attention that it is a cultural identity, I possibly meant to say "Latino" but, I feared it wasn't politically correct.
Question are you of mixed Heritage? It'll be a true Marvel if you aren't to be honest.
Native people are the best, don't pretend to be something there not!!
Truely beautiful people, fantastic culture.
2:37 rare to see a native in LA haha i see tons of chicanos of native american ancestry.
aman blackhearth Chicanos are decended more from the aztecs and myans Native Californians are the Ohlone, the Yokuts etc.
I know what you mean i was for the first 20yrs of my life raise in East la in California going back and forth on weekends to the pecanga reservation. every person.i know in LA was mexican. or black.
aman blackhearth lovehimfidibin
Mexican.. Cntrl..or Sth American decent...
Last guy hit the nail on the head
Lol why is the black guy there lol
because he's part native american. wtf?
Black natives look better than white wash natives.
I like this documentary.
Indian rapper ohh damm lol
Some more black appropriation but by a skin. That guy is half mexican tho..lol
+N8tivePatriot565 Most mexicans have native descent though. Just because they have been conquered by a different nation (that being Spain) and now speak a different language from natives in the US and Canada, doesn't make them any less native.
litefoot!!! :D
The color of your skin is not your Identity if you don't want it to be. Its all about the will to learn about your heritage and be blessed with that connection to it. You are blessed to have that been immersed in your heritage, but there's so many who are just like you are barred from such a thing because the biggest problem facing the Tribes today isn't alcoholism, diabetes, poverty, but it's fear and segregation, things taught by the White Controlled Government. Humans aren't meant to be apart
ummm...there is no law that says that these people still have to live on reservationsO.o
Be like every other american and just pull your-self up from your boot-straps and make a new life for yourself!
madisonblue96 lobio,j
madisonblue96 As soon as you land thieves leave and we can return to our original homeland and sacred sites.
Native Americans are cool as fuck. Make sure you guys keep your heritage.
its kinda the other way around because alot of mexican americans,and a few traditional mexicans have native american ancestry,and traits due to them either being a mestizo,or having native american ancestors from a long time ago.
Who else had to watch this because of they’re teachers
👇
I agree that tribes should keep their cultures, but it's dangerous to assume that they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps when they don't have proper resources, or even basic living conditions, on most reservations. Ideally, there should be organizations that work WITH the community to figure out what is needed to flourish and keep traditions alive, whether through financial or other means. And there are other ways to support - raising awareness about harmful stereotypes, for instance
Oh I'm totally with you there, man. That sounds like the perfect way of life to me!
I agree on this with you, Shootapsky!
Each tribe is a sovereign nation and determines citizenship not always by blood. Also, each tribal citizen has a family history that reflects the larger history of the United States and can have ancestry from all over the world and that is a beautiful thing. Its about kinship and expanding the hoop and those are central ideas to who we are as NDN people.
Native pride be proud of yourself
I can't speak for all natives but many take pride in their heritage. So, being told you look Asian or Hispanic, (the two most common mistakes) can be an insult. Native's have their own distinct features like any other ethnicity, and it even depends on what type of native you are. Most ppl just don't assume native when you meet someone, cuz its not that common. But my point is no one really wants to be told they look like something they aren't, or they don't identify with. ~ I'm also Ojibwe.
BLESS US ALL!
