- Most Americans have no understanding about life on Native American Reservations in the United States, including myself until recently. Join me as we start this multipart Native series, first with the Salish people on the Flathead Reservation in beautiful Montana.

Sadly Many Indian reserves in Canada are disasters. I stayed at a hotel on apache land and it was spit and polish, 100% native run, I was so impressed. Wait maybe it was Navajo.
Peter, do a segment on the Hmong people n why they're here in America!
Zuni Pueblo,New Mexico, A:Shiwi Warriors 💪👍🏹🛡
@@notveryobviousguy4373 1. Never preached about your carbon footprint. 2. I reserved a small one with good gas mileage but they didn't have any when I showed up so they gave me a big one since that's all they had. Go get some sunshine :)
@@PeterSantenello haters are going to hate, going to hate... This is why instead of a synergistically bonded world our whole system with their spewed out venom of the thin line of a biased opinion versus a desputed perhaps as a result of a incorrectly taught fact 😪 wake up ppl we're on the verge of a WW3... Why in the world would or should any higher species or Civilazation nessisarly come to any group or tribe of ppl aid...
Its truly unbelievable that at the moment as a world we stand divided by judgments, miscommunication, misinformation, EGO, money, greed, and power to be in control of one's own inner peace to battle who's war? The governments? Or maybe one should ask perhaps maybe ones own?
Peter’s ability to get people of so many different backgrounds to open up to him is unparalleled.
It's all about respect. In order to get it u gotta give it first. Peter is amazing 😎💯
✌ ☮
He’s a very genuine guy I believe and people see that.
Open up about what? I see nobody addressing current issues. I hear nothing but crap about the past. Ppl wale up everything being said is out of a book...lol
@@kennycaldwell9270 did you actually watch the whole video? They did speak of some current issues and how to deal with them.
I lived there in Montana among the Salish Kootenai tribe in my teens to early 20 and I'm Dine (Navajo Tribe). I was treated like family and I'll never forget the wonderful memories I have there, such giving, friendly people.
Where do you live now? City or different tribal land
Native American people from the nationalist political ideology visited Ireland in many republican funerals in the 80s..... highly respected here in Ireland
@@jackietreehorn5561 Nice
I'm Blackfoot breed married to a Crow woman. Used to live in Arizona and knew many Dine; great people, most are very friendly, honest and hardworking.
@@jackietreehorn5561irish people are highly respected within the native american community
This series is SO needed just for the educational aspects alone. I believe there is DEEP HEALING that we as Americans need to go through and it starts with the different people groups who were here from the beginning. THANK YOU Peter for being bold and courageous seeking wisdom and insight and sharing with the world.
Agree, We need to learn about them and how they live today after the Genocide.
May God have mercy and may God forgive us for what happened back then.
May the Force be with them.

Be in peace, and, enjoy
the the world around you.

As a Native American living in North Carolina all my life, we didn't grow up on a reservation, just a small town in one of the poorest counties in the state. I absolutely love how you visit various tribes and the reservations. I love seeing how similar/different life is growing up on a reservation verses a town.
How about canada.....Reservation Kahnawake
Are you by chance Lumbee? Just curious since I know a little about Robeson County. I'm also in NC (non-native). Nice to meet another NC person
@@ShineyPenny654 I am.
@@thescuffletownchef Meet a few Brothers from The Lumberton Nation working in a Fiber Optic's Plant. Hard working folks & used to live in the Beautiful Greenville SC. For 10 yrs. Good Southern People, Miss the Food, Miss the Work, & Yes even Miss the X, lol. GODSPEED & ya should learn a Trade js
I’m Choctaw from Louisiana and what’s interesting is most tribes east of the Mississippi River don’t have your traditional Reservation like the tribes out west. Most of the land here was claimed by the white man so we either lived with them or had to buy the land back for ourselves. Reservations were implemented to appease us. But it ended up doing a lot of harm as well. Cause the land is super poor and resource inefficient.
I live 15 miles from the Flathead Reservation. I have lived by and traveled through the reservation for the last 40 years and I am sorry to say I haven’t tried to learn more about it. I see it differently now as a more beautiful, more spiritual and cherished place for the native people. Thank you for bringing the gift of awareness to your viewers. I will never see the Flathead Reservation the same again.❤
Why dont you go there and make new friends :) we have alot of white folks who come around and see them as one of the people :D
Yeah well the next time you kill a deer maybe you should take it to an elder as a gift and stop feeding off their land for free.
The fact you lived there so long and haven’t tried to respect them says a lot
Change that
@@eagleclaw1179 white people can't hunt on the flathead rez. Get educated fool
@@eagleclaw1179 What ? This person is literally acknowledging mistakes . Don’t tell someone to show up with a dead deer to a random elder . It will be confusing .
@@opossum2255
It’s called showing respect
I don't think most people realize how many native tribes there actually are. They only know what they have seen in movies. These are a proud, dignified people and learning that non-natives come to their land and leave trash behind is so disrespectful. Thank you Peter for an interesting look into the lives of this noble culture.
Yes, it is terrible. We have the same in beautiful areas of the UK countryside particularly during covid - too many people and just dumping things I could never afford just to leave behind like a tent!
And that they're all different, and not some monolith. People will call them natives/indians/etc even when referring to a specific tribe or nation.
I’m from the Tribe they call Quest
@@NothingButDanks BANGIN beats
How is leaving trash on a reservation any different than leaving trash elsewhere?
I would watch an entire channel dedicated to visiting various native reservations. This is so great.
Hello how are you doing? Hope everything is going well with you?
yes me as well
I live in the Flathead Valley and my wife is a white woman working to help the tribal people to buy homes and build them on there own land. There is alot more to her job but these videos are helping her so much to understand more about the people and there culture. She is extremely passionate about helping all the natives on any tribe with home ownership. It's beautiful to see.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
The work of the Great Spirit.
@@andrewmantle7627 Good, so how is the weather over there with you?
Do they understand that home ownership is a responsibility, not a right?
Give an indian a taxpayer paid house and he trashes it in less than one year.
Who will do the upkeep?
Ridiculous comment
While living in Montana in the 90s I met different tribes that live there, Salish Kootenai, Blackfeet, and Bannock. I had so much fun living among them and I'm from the Dine tribe we come from Northern Arizona.
Blackfeet
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
There's also Assiniboine Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, Crow. There are 8 reservations in Montana.
@@chrisshelp1172 Good to know, so how is the weather over there with you?
Wow. When he said “we are history in the making right now” that was so so powerful and an incredible and important perspective to hold.
I went with my Granddaughter to this reservation last Thanksgiving to meet her Yiah (great grandmother), grandfather, uncles, and to see where her people came from. She is part Salish and part Shoshone so she has a lot of family on the Flathead and Wind River. I will say when we drove up the hill and the Mission Mountains came into view on our way to see the Buffalo, it took my breath away. Gorgeous. It's a beautiful land.
Rest in assurance they are beautiful people and will love her as their own. I went to school there and instructed for over 25 years now I am home on my reservation. My grandmother said remember you are a guest. Your home is here. Her situation is different because she is in marriage and to a fine Salish man. Beautiful!!!
If you came up from Missoula I know exactly how you felt. I remember how I felt coming over Evarro hill the first time and seeing the valley spread out and the Missions rising up. Simply breathtaking.
Interesting and maybe unrelated, there is a "Shoshone Park" in Buffalo NY
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
You are recording history ❤ as it is god bless the Native American respect and solidarity from Ireland
My friend Nicky was so proud to be half Irish & half Blackfeet, she had two bumper stickers, FBI: Full Blooded Indian and FBI: Full Blooded Irish. I laughed and told her she can't be full blooded of two things, but she said that's the magic of that combination. She passed away a few years ago, but your comment made me think of her. By the way, it is a very, very common cultural mix here, the Irish and the native people in the Western USA got along very, very well. And, btw, Butte MT is, by population percentage, the most Irish place in America. Both the native & non-native people here stand in solidarity with Ireland too, btw, you all have some deep history with English speaking people trying to wipe you out, too.
@montananerd8244 same amongst the eastern woodlands tribes which is why 90 percent of mix blood cherokees are scotch-irish and cherokee
I just recently discovered your channel & this series on Indigenous reservations is fascinating. Good for you for bringing to light the conditions that exist on the reservations.
I grew up on the Flathead Reservation, went to SKC (Salish Kootenai College). I am so grateful for having had so many wonderful experiences there.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?.
I hope all of America's First Nations People are successful in whatever they do. They've had most of their land taken from them, and they should be allowed to manage their own property and their own affairs as they see fit. Thanks for sharing this video.
They did not have their land taken from them.
I 100% agree.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?.
What then do you call it??
They were invaded and the land was stolen from them, genocide from the white people.
A shame/crime that the American people must live with, no more no less.
@@yusufbych6308 They were conquered. There is no shame in it. Every country is a country of conquerors. Moron.
I watched your visit to the Crow reservation first but I am seeing a common theme among the Native activists in their focus on feeding themselves in the food deserts of the reservations. This is an amazing group of people who can see what they need and are trying to fill that need.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?.
Thank you Patrick and Regina for being hosts to Peter and educating us. I hope to hear more from them on a future show.

As a non American, I love how you portray the beauty and diversity of the United States. It really is a beautiful place.
American here.
America is not at all beautiful or diverse. It merely has pockets of beauty and diversity. Outside of those pockets though? Horrible.
SoLo! You are straight out from the movie!! It is not on the grounds and reality!!
Reservations are not beautiful.
@@brandon9172 You are comparing to what?
@@brandon9172 Define beauty. Define diversity. It's all relative. There is no utopia on this planet.
Seeing the woman on the stairs in the park was such a surreal moment to catch on film. She seemed so happy to move into the area in contrast to what the group was talking about right before she arrived in frame.
Yeah she seemed so evil and dangerous. Can you believe she even said god bless?
@@woodspirit98 I think you being sarcastic, but she definitely behaved cringeworthy. I was offended by the luck of respect from her and I'm not even native American.
She didn't bother me , she seemed cringeworthy for sure .she just was passing through , I didn't think she was evil .
I said the samething when she appeared such a weird but interesting coincidence.
She is oblivious, as we all are, before watching this video. We have the luxury of viewing both sides of this conversation, where as, she seemed ecstatic to just be soaking up the beauty of the place. Maybe as she becomes familiarized with the culture of the area and inhabitants, she’ll become more enlightened, as we all will be, as we grow to empathize with those around us and those that came before us. Blessings and good fortunes to all and may we all experience growth, well being and peace with harmony in our future endeavors!
You're dong the right thing with your videos. Keep going!

I admire your ability to listen and attempt to understand different world views and perspectives without pushing a particular ideology onto people. I also appreciate that there is no garbage music playing when the people you encounter are talking. It's nice being able to listen to what is being said without useless distractions.
❤Great comment,I so agree esp the music bit 🫶🏻fifi
Thank you Peter for sharing these people's insights.
As a Indigenous Australian I feel that most traditional land owners would share the same thoughts as Patrick and Regina.
Stay strong and keep your community safe.
I love the flathead area, so Beautiful. When visiting with my uncle for some fishing. I Met his Native American friend, was my first time getting to know him and his family. He invited us to come fishing with him on the flathead river. I was honored to be invited like that, and able to learn some of his techniques. He shares what he hunts and fishes with the Res. It's a Tragedy what is still going on to this day. The Missing women, the lack of support, and so many other topics.

Thank you so much for doing this video. People really need to truly know how hard Native Americans have to fight for survival to keep their nations alive and growing.

Has anyone else noticed the common denominator with all the different Native American Tribes/Nations? They all work come together and work together to feed and care for the elderly, the widows, the sick..................they care for and take care of each other!!! Even the ones in Alaska on the island!!! I have always had the utmost respect for all Native Americans. How so many families can come together and live as one when it comes to caring for their community. The RESPECT for the lands and water ways! How they hunt only for food and have always been the caretakers of the earth and wildlife has always made me want to learn more about them. They have so much more knowledge in caring for and healing the land than anyone I have ever known. I know their knowledge has been passed down through many generations, and I am so glad that they continue to use that knowledge and pass it on to the next generation. I wonder how many people have ever thought of how they were able to not only survive but to prosper with the very minimalistic of tools and sheer brute strength through all seasons and catastrophic events. I wish there were something I could do to help them get their land, I think our country owes them that (and more).
"They all work come together and work together to feed and care for the elderly, the widows, the sick..................they care for and take care of each other!!! "
In Alaska the tribes also have the authority to banish members from their community or village for a period of years for misbehavior such as drunkenness, fighting, theft or other offenses.
@@Dutch_Uncle WOW! Sure can tell I was half asleep when I wrote that! I should have proof read it before posting. Lesson learned, don't type when half asleep.
You need to get out more. You should have seen the aftermath of the Water Warriors in North Dakota. They left the area trashed and polluted . Abandoned cars and trash everywhere . Yep protectors of the land for sure
They didn't exactly prosper before. Their numbers have always been relatively small. Many plains indians didn't take care of the elderly or widows at all. They let them die for the good of the rest.
@@woodspirit98 WTF is wrong with you?
Peter you never cease to amaze me with your work. This is fantastic.

Patrick does so much for our reservation and our community. I am Salish and from the beautiful place in this video.
God bless all these people 🙏, you could sense the pain n hurt in this man. Wow! What a history we all have. I pray we teach our children more about these important groups of people and there land.

For some reason the lady walking through the video perfectly summed up for me what the Natives were discussing couldn't have happened at a more perfect time.
Yep. And she was likely scoping out land, not just "sightseeing." 👀😒
We moved on the reservation 6 plus years ago pre-covid . We have a small ranch if anyone has seeing the mission valley it’s like living within a National park , it’s breathtaking . We respect both native and non native you have to on this reservation
💯 I noticed that too
Right? She sure did make a fool of herself lol
I though she was gonna ask to speak to their manager after her other comment
Thank you 🙏🏾 Wela'lin. Well done once again. Using your platform to let us speak truths, respectfully. Love hearing from other Nation's from across Turtle island.
Hello how are you doing? Hope everything is going well with you?
Turtle island is from the creation story of the Iroquois. But if it makes you feel good using it.

There's a lot more we need to learn about Native American Reservations, the real indigenious people of America. Great job again, Peter!

The sooner more people can understand that we are all human beings first and that we come in all different colors, shapes and sizes. It takes all of us to make the world go around. To be honest i am a little envious of the native Americans. They have such a strong heritage, they know where they came from. I am over 50% British and rest is mixed. My brother looked back into our families history but could only go back to the 1600's or so. To know your lineage for thousands of years is pretty special. I really appreciate you Peter for producing such a meaningful insight into areas where the mainstream media would never go. Stories of the heart, from the heart. Well done!
Man, you're content is so authentic and respectful. Really enjoying catching up on your work and getting educated via the people you meet, aswell as the way you navigate the topics with such kindness. Keep up the great work, for every poor use of social these days, youre doing good!
Greatly appreciated, Peter and hosts. So much to learn. Cheers from the Netherlands.
They talk about education, and it's necessary, but trade schools and skills based learning are also needed to help (re)build these communities .
A few months ago, I asked about the video about Native American culture, life etc., now I'm enjoying watching it!! Thank youuuu! Very interesting and impressive!!

I love this series. As someone whose Mother grew up on a reservation, Nett Lake Minnesota but didn't teacher her children the traditional ways , I am learning a lot. You should do a segment on people that are only half native , which I am. We seem to not be accepted in either worlds. My Mom is native ,my Dad was from England, so talk about confusing.
most of America is by-racial now, and it's all about your perspective, no more, no less

So glad you got to experience Flathead! My mom grew up in Polson and my dad was right up the road in Kalispell, such a beautiful place with beautiful people. One of my favorite parts of every single year is driving through the flathead. Such an amazing place.

My grandmother fled Pine Ridge as soon as she could, after surviving Indian boarding schools and TB at the Sioux San. Reservations are essentially Concentration camps the prisoners adapted and survived to this day.
Love how you said this didn't come to mind when picturing a reservation. My dad lived and taught in Baraga, Michigan in the upper peninsula and the entire town is reservation property, but it just looks like any regular small town.

I am honored to have Aunties from the Sèlís and Kootenai. Even though I am descended from a Norwegian Sämmi refugee who homesteaded in the valley my Aunties just let me learn with all the other kids; they never held my heritage against me. I wish our culture and legal system would stop persecuting and punishing the Earth’s Founding Fathers and Mothers. I am sorry, brothers and sisters. My history (my ancestors’ history) is my shame. 😢
I just found your channel and I've got to say, that was one of the easiest subscribe buttons I've ever hit. This hard hitting, honest and real insight and look into all different walks of life is high quality, and I'm totally here for it. 💯
More Native American footage please! Especially with Thanksgiving in the US next week. Good stuff.

The last two "reservation" documentaries you filmed were awesome!!! I used to work for the State of Ca in Susanville. We had several natives in our care. I learned a tad about life from them. Even got to watch prayer time during sweat sessions inside an actual tee-pee with the Paiute tribe. I also grew up near DQU which years ago was a tribal college. Simply amazing people. I also know of an 18 year old kid that receives $800k a year from the tribe he's in via casino monies, yet his own siblings get nothing. Personally, anytime the US Govt gets involved in the lives of people, things are worse for everyone involved. Personally, I love the native people, and this freaking Govt should stay the hell out of their lives

That landscape is absolutely stunning.

Peter, you are doing some outstanding journalism. Stories of native americans needs to be told and in their words, with their emotions.
Thank you for teaching us and sharing your community with us to better understand.
Mother has arms big enough tp hug all of us. We need to see eachother to know we exist. Thanks again Peter. And I learn so much about the incorrect lessons I learn and how not to apply them in the future thanks to people being open about their way of living. Great health to all,
Not so fun fact. Native Americans on reservations were not even aloud to speak they’re native language until the 1970s!!! Look it up!!
True
Allowed.
I'm indigenous Australian and it was the same for my grandad he was actually whipped at school for speaking language
False
Also dancing and singing was illegal!
I was born and raised in the Bitterroot Valley, Montana. Love the Native History. Very much of what makes Montana. Thank you for making this video.
My dad grew up in the Bitterroot Valley. I love Montana and just finished a book my grandmother wrote about growing up on Tenderfoot.
@@ginasmitasin479 wow! Great history not to mention an amazing family heirloom!
@@AppreciatingSimplicity08 Yes, it was interesting getting to see how she grew up. I was never quite sure what to make of her relationship with my dad which seemed tension filled but I suspect it was that there were a LOT of us (8) and he wanted to make a good impression as we only saw her every other year. Her description of the area was delicious.
I have lived my whole life in the bitterroot since the age of 5 when I moved here from 4 hours north. Western Montana is my home and I respect the Native culture .
Excellent! So much respect for our native brothers and sisters
This is beautiful and so educational
Hello how are you doing? Hope everything is going well?
Patrick’s jacket is awesome.
Love to learn about other tribes! Thanks Peter for sharing! 👍

These videos are needed as a reminder of the people that have been neglected and left behind in America.
Please come to HAWAII!!! I'm sure the Hawaiians feel the same as the Indigenous people of Montana.
Love your content!!!
Nope.

Your way of learning the other cultures and about the lands' history through so many different people is what I respect a lot. This one is definitely one of my most favorite videos.

I'm glad this video was approved. I really appreciate it!
We need an anger translator for both of them when Madam Chardonnay strolled through.
Glad your doing a story on this Peter. I find it very interesting to understand Native American people better and especially how they feel about what was done to them, and how they cope today.
Hello how are you doing? Hope everything is going well with you?
What was done to which ones?
*you're

@@woodspirit98 The nation of the USA mostly during the 1800's committed heinous acts of physical and paper genocide on all indigenous peoples in it's territories. Their Indian removal policies inspired Hitler to apply similar policies in Nazi Germany
I've been to flathead lake many times and I never knew it was native lands. It's absolutely stunning. Great video.
When I see land in America, I picture indigenous people like this guy for some reason.

The Indian School in Phoenix was still operating up to the end of the '70s. Now it is an historical park right in Phoenix. I used to go to it often when I lived there. It was created to preserve the history of the native experience in America. it is a very spiritual place.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?!
That's my favorite part of Montana. From Flathead lake up to the Canadian border. I went up there last year and it was like I made a spiritual pilgrimage there. 2200 mile drive from Alabama and it was worth every cent of gas money I spent there and back.
You're talking about my childhood right there! Grew up in Kalispell, attended Flathead HS, had the Mission Range as my front yard and playground. Summers on the lake with the clearest water on the planet and winters on the slopes, Big Mountain was like a big brother. Glad you appreciate the beauty!!

Hey Peter! So glad you were able to finally get to film this perspective! We learn so much from your ventures into each culture… Thank You for sharing this with us! I look forward to learning more through your videos!! 🙏🏻Safe travels!🙏🏻

@@devodootie Thanks so much. GOD bless your heart always, so how is the weather over there with you?
You Have a Fantastic Way Of Bringing People Together Peter !! Thank You so much for what you Do !!!!
This makes me very sad .reminds me of my uncle's story basically he was drafted into WW2 at the age of 16 out there near a base in the Pacific NW he met an Indian girl name Trevi she was in a boarding school nearby she iwas a band of Sue from a reservation in Montana soon after that they married and he brought her to Az they had 7 kids but then he started suffering from pstd due to a bomb that hit the ship he was in WW2.. that earned him the 💜 he was not able to function normally anymore they separated when the children were very small he was put in a mental hospital she turned to drinking and died the oldest daughter that was sill very young at the time toook care of her sibling the best she knew they all sort of grew up went their separate ways as u can probably imagine under these circumstances did not fare to well they found each other again when they were older and went to get to know the reservation where their mother was born
I'm sorry your cousins and aunt and uncle suffered so much, Beatriz. May the Lord heal them completely.
Sad story. One thing you may want to clarify is you stated he was "drafted" into the service at 16. The draft was only applicable & the military accessible to those who had reached the age of 18. During that period there were young men under 18 who could join the military, but they had to get express permission from a parent ot guardian. There are also stories where they would lie about their age & come up with some kind of phoney documentation to support their claim of being 18. But no one under the age of 18 was ever drafted into service. And also, if they were 18 but had not yet graduated from high school then they couldn't be drafted either. In other words, if they had turned 18 but were in their senior year of high school, they weren't able to be drafted until the end of the school year. They weren't taking kids out of school.
@@leskobrandon691 very nice of you to put that so politely. To me, it makes me think this person is a bit of a liar and calls her entire story into question.
The U.S. gov. had strict regulations on the draft age during WW2. They did not draft 16 yr olds. However, it was fairly common among NA's like my own father, living on the Flathead Rez, to forge their birth certificates to join the military-- not just to fight against the enemy, but just to get off the Rez. This is what my father told me, -- and why. 🔥😘
@@leskobrandon691 hmmm I wouldn’t be supposed if the government was convincing kids to forge their docs and join. I’ve heard of recruiters doing way worse!
peter, so glad to see you doing a series on those who lived in this land first and now are totally overlooked by everyone, it seems. hope you get to south dakota, pine ridge, rose bud, etc.
The clovis people were here before the Indians and asians before them.

@@woodspirit98of course you’re an old white dude
Instead of individual beds they should cultivate a few acres. Employ a few people to work it. If you volunteer hours you are paid in food. This set up does work.
There's no finer place than the flathead valley heaven on Earth
I stumbled across one of your videos last night. At the typing of this message I have watched several spanning the time you have been sharing, I wanted to say thank you for the amazing content you share. It is very illuminating and leaves me with much food for thought.
Very very very very very very very cool that you're on this Native People's kick lately.
I love Peter santanello 🎉
Thank you for teaching about the different tribal lives across America ❤
Awesome video! Thank you Patrick and Regina and to Peter! Made me happy to see you guys speaking truth the power!
Once again Peter you have knocked it out of the park. We live in the uk but my daughter-in-law is from the Choctaw nation . I have had a big interest in all native tribes . Thank you again for bringing this too the forefront of life on what is really their land that was stolen from these people in the early 1800s . There is so much poverty and social problems on reservations that should be brought forward in the u.s parliament . Thank you again for your time and effort …
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?,
Look how beautiful that land is. Rather be there than Beverly Hills
Thank you for your hard work and for bringing this important information to so many people.
This was truly appreciated series. For a foreign to see a truthful story, told by this people themselves. Thanks for making this and thanks to all participants. It was valuable.
As someone not from the US, it seems absurd that people from a reservation can't own land on that reservation by default.
If you don’t pay property tax in the cities, the government will seize your house and auction it.
There are many zoning laws and such.
You can’t just build a theme park or factory in the middle name of a residential neighborhood.
There is land set aside for national forest, agriculture, reservations and a whole lot of other stuff.
There are official NGO agendas going forward to move ALL people away from owning private property of any kind or even being able to enter nature reserves for the sake of the environment and sustainability.
The thing is God is the creator and owner of everything and He created it for Himself. If God blesses someone with land they are a steward of it.
Colossians 1:16 - For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Genesis 2:15 - And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
neither can the average joe outside of reservations
@@johnline
You're correct, the average person finds it a struggle to own a home, let alone land. There is a lack of affordable housing for everyone.
When people do "own" land they have to pay taxes on it and abide by restrictions. In the elite's eyes, everyone is on "their" land.
Proverbs 22:7 - The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
in the US nobody owns land. The government can take it from you whenever they want.
Great video. Peter is always respectful. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this educational video. You are doing very important work, helping us learn more about Native Americans.
Partied on that Rez a lot back in my younger days.
Ohhhh innit
Beautiful land, the Mission Mountains are just amazing! My favorite mountain range to just look at. They just start an go straight up! No foothills, they are a sight to behold.
