Name Šótalútawin "Red Smoke Woman" my 4th gr grandmother. I guess there is no info on her?

This is nowhere near the best CD player Sony ever made, or even at the time in 1994. Way better than most made today, however.

I can hear how sharp those scissors are. After sewing for 43 years, I love the sound sharp scissors make on cotton. This is a wonderful tutorial, though. Thank you so much!

This is an excellent series.Very informative.

I got ribbon skirt material as a Christmas present, but the gift giver did not put it together. I finally got the courage to make it myself, by looking at this video. I yelled, "Nishke!" The lady is using the same material that I have! This is such a good sign I think. I'm ready to give it a go. Miigwetch.

Thank you 💞

Beutiful

This film was created for the Macleod Jubilee 1874-1974 and featured participants from the four Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy, as well as many local "cowboys".

Thank you for this!

My now deceased wife Judy Anne was a manly hearted woman , with true Cherokee blood lines !!! She had the pioneer spirit & you could only be proud of her !!! A true matriarch !!! God how I miss her !!! I have Blackfoot blood lines , my name is in the registry !!!

I am so confused by the measurements and I don’t know how to make it wider on the bottom so you can walk more comfortably

Where can I get applique? I'm trying to finish my daughter's ribbon skirt for the pow wow and I can't find any

How do you measure the waistband? I'm having trouble figuring out the right way.

I’ve grown up in and around the upstate of South Carolina. My mother had fair skin and sandy blonde hair. I thought for the longest time that she had been sent home with the wrong baby. Where she was fair, I had dark hair deep brown nearly black and a dark complexion that became darker brown in the summer. I knew about my great grandfathers Mother being Blackfeet, but it never occurred to me that I inherited all her traits. Years would pass and I became a nurse. One night my patient kept staring at me. Finally, my interest in why he was staring so intensely. I ask him did I have something on my face. No, he replied. “I was just wondering how you made it to SC from Montana.” I said with this accent you think I’m from Montana. “You have to be because you look like a full blooded Blackfeet Indian woman and there are no Blackfeet in SC. I did tell him I had an ancestor who was full or part Blackfeet. A few months later another patient ask me the same thing. Then I saw a picture of a Blackfoot women in a business magazine while waiting for a doctors appointment. Needless to say I was taken aback by the similarities in features. The woman could have been related to me we favored so closely. With the internet I have been able to see myself in so many of the faces. I wonderful and eerie at the same time.

You nailed the Progress Store right on!

A few years ago a Ukrainian poet or singer toured western Canada. She was welcomed by the Ukrainian-Canadian community but caused some controversy when she said something like; you can't be truly Ukrainian unless you speak Ukrainian. The heart and soul of a people is in their language. I heard that here tonight. You can't be Blackfoot or understand the Blackfoot worldview, without being able to speak Blackfoot. The soul of the Blackfoot people is in their language.

This is really informative for someone who has never really heard Niitsitapii before even after thirty years in Pincher Creek.

Thank you Julius! A delightful lesson as always, I learned a lot!

Chi miigwiich for this teaching!

I also teared with she teared. I moved back to this area after being away for 8 years in New brunswick. I thought about this place every single day during all those years. And I finally am home. And now I have an opportunity to be part of this place which is why I'm watching this video so that I can learn further. Thank you for uploading this very informative video. And know that I too also find this place extremely emotional and spiritual.

This is beautiful. ❤

Okiiii

Great video so much information I will share with my students at BCC thank you Rebecca

Thank you so much, amazing instructions. With your calm voice you helped me relax and face my fear of making 2 ribbon skirts for my granddaughters. One is Native and the other Metis. We live in Ontario and Alberta Canada. They are both so trilled. 😊🧡🧡

Miigwech for making it nice and short and not like 5 part series thats one hour and a half long each

Members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints taught Galt about irrigation. Thank you

Really great tutorial, thank you.

Sorry but THIS isn't what Blackfoot FOLKS look like. They were dark chocolate lol I know this due to the Blackfoot that runs through MY veins🤷🏾‍♀️.

Thank you! :)

Going to buy me a sewing machine and everything to make a ribbon skirt always wanted to learn and I know you can do anything you put your mind to.

I really wanted to watch this. I would like to suggest some possible synonyms for 'groomed' that don't make my skin crawl. Taught, mentored, prepared...

Can you show us how to make Ribbon Shirts for men?

Thank you brother

I just recently found out about my Blackfoot ancestry and now I’m trying to learn everything I can about ancestry, language, culture, practices, history, and further work on decolonising my language, thinking, behaviours, all of it. I’m so glad to have information like this so readily available ❤
