[@tommyvizzle]

These singers are amazing! I was fortunate to go to Browning a few years back, the dancing and colors were incredible, love from California..

[@swampwitch6133]

Never be ashamed of your Native heritage! Be Proud of your Native blood and always embrace it! The Indian Nation lives forever as long as we remember who we are and where we came from!

[@elitesports7160]

rob coffman I agree

[@kuhleskind]

Omg!!! my dad is same! mom too! ha! and i know lots ppl who are mixed blackfeet n cherokee...i always say it is best combination. I had the yearning to learn- let that spirit guide you! don't fight it. I am still learning to walk the red road, and since...i feel i have come home and have found my calling to my ppl and our ways. Montana is soo beautiful and I hope to make it my home after graduating nursing school. And I can't wait to learn more n be involved with our ppl.N8V pride! Good luck!

[@pumpkin113t]

Just so you all know the Blackfeet don't stop in Montana or in the US, there are also Blackfeet in Alberta, Canada

[@BassClefButterfly]

I'm only 1/8 or 1/4 blackfoot and i'm just starting to really learn about the culture. It's really amazing! Proud to be part Native American

[@XnativehonnieX]

I love my Blackfeet peoples :). I'm originally from the Blackfeet Reservation. You got a picture of my grampa in there and footage of my crush fancy dancing. Thanks for sharing.

[@jawbreackersprinkles]

first off im blackfeet ok Montana iz are rez , blackfoot is canadian there two different tribes so dont confuse yourself

[@TheWayoftheRaven]

The more I learn about my Native heritage the more intrested I become in the history and music. I will explore the warrior arts in the native form as well.

[@kuhleskind]

love my ppl!!! can't wait to finish undergrad n get back to the rez....our land is so beautiful...it breaks my heart seeing it...i miss u all so much!! I love all my cuzins...every tribe!! let's stay together!! Native pride 4 life!!!! never let the old ways die!!!

[@joecobelljr.3889]

These are very humbling pictures of the Blackfeet Res. Although I do not live there it makes me reminisce. I have been back for many ceremonies and pow wows. Im a relative of the Blackfeet Nation and love the Indian Days my Mother and Father have brought me to since I was just a Kid. Beautiful County. Beautiful People. Beautiful Culture.

[@stumpyale]

My father was Blackfeet, he passed away 16 years ago. I miss him so much

[@jalunielewis8136]

I am very proud of my Indian heritage, most people don't know what their heritage is

[@jwalker42026]

Proud of my heritage blackfeet/Blackfoot and Cherokee indian/African American

[@patriciademekpe404]

Jessica Walker those are amalgamated tribes now. Blackfeet were a part of the Lenni Lenape that move to the plains. They were not Mongolian or Eurasians.

[@Selenaencarnation]

"Blackfoot" is the English translation of the word siksika, which means "black foot." It refers to the dark colored moccasins the people wear. Some Blackfoot people are annoyed by the plural "Blackfeet," which is obviously an anglicization. But most Blackfoot people accept both terms. "Blackfoot" is more commonly used in Canada, and "Blackfeet" is more commonly used in the United States

[@iloveu933]

this is beautiful, i love it!! Browning is my home I have a huge family over there, thank you for making this awesome video!!

[@TheDanobot]

I can feel so much energy in that song and dance.. Beautiful....

[@zagorith14]

Man this is awesome. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm either Blackfoot or Cherokee. I do know that I'm German, Norwegian, French, either Blackfoot or Cherokee (I'm not sure which), and possibly Italian. I am proud to say that I have so many different cultures running through my veins. I just wish I new more about my Native American background. From what I do know, is that my... great grandfather? I think it's my great grandfather. Anyways, he married a Blackfoot or Cherokee princess. Wish I new more.

[@jemzijada]

Blackfeet- have both feet here, in america Blackfoot- have one foot here and one foot in Canada I hope that makes sense. And this video is REAL Montana! UNTOUCHED AND BEAUTIFUL. It still looks the same. I can't wait for NDN days this summer!!!

[@earlreedsr.7316]

I am very proud to be of Blackfoot Indian descent.

[@Wax49]

i love making the trip to browning, first year i get to go to indian days pow wow since i was a baby. i get to see my dad and the rest of my family, plus the ol' rocky mountains...i come from the Weatherwax family up there, marvin Jr is my dad.

[@proudfreemason]

@Melissa3839 That is EXACTLY what this planet needs!!! A NATIVE President.. I would support that 100%!!!

[@sariahmossman4463]

I am a mixture of too many backgrounds. The one I identify most with is Native Hawaiian, but I do know that I do have Blackfoot blood on my mother's side. It isnt much, but I am so proud to call these beautiful people my ancestors.

[@MimiBass87]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FIND OUT HOW YO SPEAK Algonquian. IM TRYING TO CONVERT MYSELF BACK TO MY HERITAGE AND I NO LONGER WANT TO SPEAK ENGLISH IM BLACKFOOT NATIVE AMERICAN. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS WHERE I CAN LEARN. THANKS

[@fender32285]

This is soo cool! I have blackfoot on dads side(my grandmother) and Mohawk from my grandfather on my dads side. I also have canadian indian on my moms side i'm not sure which tribe. All my cousin's are tan but i'm pale lol somehow.

[@twigrlHailey93]

I'm very proud of my Blackfoot heritage. I'm what you would call a "half-breed" but it doesnt stop me from representing both of my cultures.Hopefully one day others will see what great things we have done for our country and recognize it more.

[@Pandabbadon]

Yeah, I partly grew up there anyways, my grandma is from North Browning and I have a boatload of cousins that live in North B-town and Cut Bank

[@brybry9604]

I’m proud to be part Blackfoot indian

[@WhiteStarWoman]

You might want to check out Whispernthunderdotorg An online magazine written by Natives about Natives and their issues and lives. Ask the ancestors to know more and it will come to you from places you wouldn't expect!

[@redgringrumboldt8983]

This is my tribal affiliation! I'd love to go out there and get educated more on my tribes' history.

[@sheriemcclelland8014]

my grandmother is half blackfoot nativeamerican and french canadian on my moms side and her father also french canadian and another native american tribe but i do not know what it is is even if we are not full blood is there exceptance in the tribe.i have always wanted to know about my heritage excluding the light eyes hair and skin myself show alot of facial features that r native american i have always been proud o of my heritage i s i identify more with this part of my race then the other

[@Pandabbadon]

both, the Blackfeet ARE Piegan/Pikunii/Pikuni. "Blackfoot" is a direct translation of Siksika, our Confederacy name. I don't know why they plualized it. You can't pluralize "Siksika" in the Blackfoot language. We are the Piegan/Blackfeet band, the Kainah/Blood band and the Siksika/Blackfoot Proper band, but we're all Siksikawa (Blackfoot People) and we call ourselves Niitsitapi (the Real People) traditionally

[@springheelzach812]

most tribes dont do that. the cherokee for example accept any one who can trace their bloodline back to somone who signed the Daws act

[@chitownzfinesthustla]

hey im mixed with black foot can sumone tell me the diffrence between our tribes only see a little amount of views on youtube for blackfoot vids

[@charliesangelwannabe]

I would like to know who the musican/singer is at 7min in. (toward the end).

[@CmdrALF]

ok, so i've been wanting to connect to my ancestry for forever now and i've recently just started to lookup my na side. on my father's side, i'm blackfoot and crowe mix and my father is also a blood brother to a souix who was a truck driver and for some reason i feel more connected with the blackfoot. i'd love to be able to look up my fathers' side of the family but the state of indiana has his records sealed. does anyone know of a way to get his records unsealed?

[@gboss293]

Can someone tell me how to trace our roots? I’m told I have blackfoot blood. My grandpa who had the answers passed away when I was a little kid. I remember wearing one of his headdresses and it dragged in the floor a couple feet behind me. I can feel it in my soul but I would like a definite answer.

[@mouthforwar17]

my father did a blood brother ceremony with a blackfoot chief. i may not be have blackfoot blood by ancestry but im proud of what my father did. i have a question tho..why do i see men in kilts? is there some sort of relation between scots and blackfeet? id like to know cuz im very scottish lol

[@mouthforwar17]

@Selenaencarnation 7:55 thats definately kilts and bagpipes...what are bagpipes n kilts doin at a pow wow?? maybe theres some scottish & native american ppl there like i said before

[@BooThing14]

Hey wondering if the actual native native americans had all that colorful clothing and assesories?

[@CalJennings]

Who plays the flute in this video? Good stuff! Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Be With You, Cal-el

[@Irreverent_RVer]

I drove through there last month. I saw many homes with a teepee on their land. Is this for a personal reason, spiritual?

[@georgeupham7914]

After NAID we double check the teepees and repair them before packing them away.

[@Selenaencarnation]

@mouthforwar17 well sir if you havent noticed that there are diferent people there representing different flags and no us native americans have nothing to do with scottish people

[@GiasJulii]

@SaiKoSeSu my brother you know your heritage you are American, I personally have so many different nationalities in me including 3 different Native American tribes (Commanche, Blackfeet and Cherokee) it would be silly of me to think of myself as anything but American nor would I want to. My Grandmother a full blood Blackfeet was a very proud American and would not use the term Native American, just American. A ship does not sail on yesterday's wind.

[@kuhleskind]

Hey that pow wow song sounds familiar...is it blackstone? or whitefish?...i know i've heard...i think i may have danced to it...? lol

[@f8lfrogman]

I want learn more about my ancestors and not the fictional history book version where can I learn more

[@sorrelsquirrel]

when do they hold these pow-wows? i want to go and learn more about my tribe

[@georgeupham7914]

Every full second weekend in July.

[@JuggalettePrincess92]

The Blackfeet tribe is awesome!

[@KushaDwipa]

"Blackfoot" is considered Souian related to Tutelo and Catawba from the east coast not the same as Blackfeet in Montana.

[@akaiYaMa9]

haha Ya, thats exactly what I'm sayin' and you're Cherokee and Blackfoot too! The best mix out there haha! I was starting to think I was the only one out there that was Cherokee and Blackfoot hahaha, good to know I'm not alone!

[@justinracine8542]

Do know what they call a Blackfeet suitcase? Kunysac

[@Pandabbadon]

thanks, for the video. Makes me miss home =/ North-B-town!

[@mouthforwar17]

@Selenaencarnation go to 5:17 theres a bunch of guys in kilts with big flags in a parade procession.

[@TheLearning50]

[@elisabethmartino5585]

[@acerb4566]

5***** ps: new band for the international music fans on the rez......."Moonlight - List Z Raju".......from Poland.

[@acerb4566]

Cultural Survival: heres the deal, do as they do over in Europe. use Folk-Metal to preserve and enhance the cultural and emotional impact of old stories and songs. Keep the traditional music always! but a side order of Folk-metal wont hurt!!....a sample: video, (Tyr-Regin Smiour)..........Pagan folk-Metal. Faroe Islands. scenes from huge viking festival.

[@Dutchvine]

Welcome to advanced rock n roll. LIght years ahead.

[@st0rmch1LL]

[@TheLearning50]

@Casshern1100 Thank you that was very heart warming to hear. :)

[@TheLearning50]

Im Kicakpoo and Navajo Desendant I also do not let anything stop me from who iam even if i look white. I use to get teased alot by other native kids growing up becasue I didnt look native. :( Although I have my tribal id that still didnt help any very much. But still proud of who iam.

[@Wax49]

[@lokolette17]

I'm 65% Blackfeet and about 25% Cree and about 10% white maybe a little less then 10% but I do live on Blackfeet reservation and its awesome here

[@hemigod2]

@busywomenduckhead well if you are a half breed like me then it is black foot not black feet...

[@Casshern1100]

@songbird564 That reminds me of a Na' Pi story about Old Man stealing the suns hunting leggings.They were used to catch a bush on fire and make the animals run out,away from smok and fire,only to be shot down my the sun and old man.The ending is a pretty good lesson about,well,what some people call "karma".Look it up if you've never heard the story and enjoy ;)

[@AntonioGarcia-fv4zn]

yeah same hear

[@naz8008]

Hey, Same here I look White, but I am Irish and Native "Blackfeet".

[@manbigus]

I taught for a year in Heart Butte, MT on The Blackfoot Reservation. I absolutely HATED it there. The locals were totally disrespectful and rather racist towards the white man. Never again will I waist my time there.

[@runingblackbear]

blackfeet is why you have this name cause the stane moc from the black swamp grate grandmother was medicine woman she was a healer or midwife she told of old ways to my grandmother of things this why i know of blackfeet and in native sign this is why you touch your moc to show of this ( ho wa )

[@exvandale]

[@springheelzach812]

[@lisadiannemillerjackson3995]

Proud of you and it and them also. Peace.

[@springheelzach812]

First of all no need for all the caps second you can know more than one language. if you want to learn the language you could look online for it but a better option would be try to find some one in the comminity to teach you.

[@andrewgrubbs9208]

[@PrestonGarveyofthesettlements]

[@dawneyekeen3415]

Proud to be Blackfoot!

[@curuxa64]

Ask about all this to you grandfathers.They use an urinal and after they were emptying it in the street, sharing it with his neighbors. This way it began the pest and other miseries. The w.c. is slightly new, and the soap and the shower also. Certainly, I am white, but I have memory and brain too.And you ? have an urinal?

[@epic1032123]

love the blackfeet and love the people who think the same
