(Father & Son) Randy VS Therien Paskemin @ Shelton Powwow 2017

[@livingonadollar2882]

people think its just a father and son dancing ...It's a father and son sharing the love of dance. Giving back to the commumity And teaching people outside of it. The culture And good nature of the tribe while honoring the family members before them Pure enjoyment

[@ginahamptondukes6901]

Brought tears to my eyes when I realized his were real and not just because he could not answer, as there was no answer.

[@cliffordstanger8960]

Some don't even get that chance, good moment for sure

[@texasoutheway9395]

Well said some of the best grass dancing I’ve seen besides my uncle Ronnie Preston back in his days but that young bull at the end is the next champ must be the sons son cause I think he won against both them !

[@jasminewinesburg]

randy is a legend son soon will be too

[@petra6655]

Wonderful this way of love and tradition! 🥁🤗✌

[@kathrynboyd8621]

It was a dance of father and son dance together - in my thoughts, both winners, dance of honor, not all sons still have a father and not all fathers still have sons to dance with, it's a Blessing! ❤

[@DarlineCombs]

Beautifully put.

[@shelbel2257]

You know he wants his son to win. But he will make him earn it. Thats beautiful

[@jacquelyngravina3805]

THIS is something we cannot lose……❤❤

[@ellenchavez2043]

Culture is never static. It continues to evolve as the people learn and see more. Old traditions incorporate new ideas, sensibilities as the younger generations step up to carry on. Any culture that remains static, dies.

[@georgeupham7914]

Dad had some old time moves, son had exuberance. Wonderful.

[@terereynolds698]

Wow I wasn't expecting that to happen, so beautiful to see 3 generations of Randy's family in a dance off, father, son, grandson it doesn't get any better then this.

[@mooncakerabbithender7203]

I watched this video and was so touched by the beautiful and amazing dancing. It was beyond words how special this event was hearing the bells and seeing those incredible feather head dress . 7 years have passed since this was filmed but |I just had to leave my word of respect to you all thankyou for making my day, I will continue to research powwow dance .

[@janetjennings8751]

This was so beautiful that I am crying, but in a good way. 😊❤

[@texasoutheway9395]

Shoutout for pops teaching his ways and much love too the family for working as a team it’s all about culture and family that was teamwork not a competition !!

[@CatherineFogarty-qh1db]

I just love the Indian ways. My kids dad was Indian and my two daughters are half Indian. I just love this.

[@virginialeitner2057]

I would not be able to choose between the two, they are both absolutely awesome!

[@mariasalazar9171]

[@mixedandknot5911]

I watch Native American's movies, pow wows, etc. I love them. These costumes were really beautiful. Thank you very much.

[@ProudUteGirl]

They are not called costumes...that's an offensive word about our traditional clothing. It's called an outfit.

[@karenmcpeak1303]

It's beautiful to see the traditions being taught and shared.😊

[@ciaragrey5523]

The bond between father and son. How do you determine who wins? ❤❤❤❤ And the youngin' will be a contender in the future!

[@JoanEllis-g4h]

I believe my father is Cherokee, what a great feeling.

[@zoraidajimenez3789]

[@TXLINKS23]

This one's hard to watch without crying

[@Rowantree-o3w]

So beautiful, it made me cry. So majestic and powerful.

[@CagleConcepts69]

This is wonderful.. I'm Cherokee ❤

[@jontrejo4856]

It was sad when he looked across when the little one came in and seen his dad was eliminated but when he seen little brother on stage with him he couldn't help but keep on going.. sad story happy ending

[@anaestherporrascastro113]

Hermosa danza hermanos Salydis desde PERU AMERICA LATINA

[@veronicashirley3177]

BEAUTIFUL dancing, father & son brought tears to my eyes 😭, HAPPY TEARS, both are AMAZING dancers 💯👌

[@CarolLHargett1]

you don't get any better than this, Randall is a legend.

[@missysiss7797]

Oh that brought tears to my eyes. That little one came in and it was awesome!!

[@jan-michele3546]

That was awesome to see. I miss the powwows from back home. Puyallup, Quinalt, Shelton, Tillamook, and even traveling to Canada for them. I hope one day, I find some close to where I live in Tennessee. Usually, when I do, it is a few days late when I hear about them. My daughter's godmother got her started in shawl dance at the Puyallup Powwows when she was 3 years old. She doesn't do it anymore, I wish she did. She was good at it. Her godmother was a jingle dancer. THANK YOU,for sharingI look forward to future ones.

[@robertmurray2843]

Wow those eagle feathers were part of the prize thats amazing im sure those are rare to get

[@AnastasiaRomanov-w9x]

This is very touching.

[@RobIzzy69]

That was absolutely beautiful I felt their joy and it brought tears to my eye!!!

[@1jilliantolley4]

That was 3 generations dancing. Most Beautiful thing I've seen.

[@crystalsaskatchewan]

I love this video, even though its 7 years ago. I just love it. ❤

[@jonmunoz2772]

Glad to see my northern cousins honoring the ancient traditions unfortunately I wasn't so lucky to be raised in my culture, I only found out later in life that I was chiricahua apache and raramuri from Mexico on my dad's side and they were forced to abandon their native heritage from the colonizers because I don't even have an Indian name and just as our American tribal cousins endured great atrocities under white rule in the US we endured similar atrocities in Mexico under Spanish and later Mexican rule. I love learning not just about my own heritage but my cousins and I know we are not really family but we are all related by our shared heritage of turtle island. Much love and respect to my Indian brothers and sisters please cherish your heritage and keep fighting to practice it and protect it because you never know how precious it is until you lose it or forced to give it up like what happened to my family.

[@Ann-st8et]

Jon, I'm so very sorry for what my people did to your people. It was cruel, shameful, disgraceful. I'm happy that you're finding and living your heritage and culture. They are something to be very proud of. I stand with you my Native American brother. ❤

[@TheCuteWetRat]

Same over here but north of the border 🥹

[@riseandroot4530]

Hau - similar story in my family as they had to hide being Indigenous all our lives. But what you lost, you can regain and reclaim. I live in the UK now but I am still indigenous and always will be. Reconnect!

[@jofrazier-hansen4097]

Wow you can see the father son bond in the moves even.❤

[@v9311]

This made me so emotional wth

[@rezeditz5007]

[@gloriabarreratorres2560]

El padre debe sentirse orgulloso de que sigan vivas sus costumbres y perdurarán con su descendencia felicidades

[@BillD-h1k]

It's pretty cool to see when fathers and their sons go head to head because to me that shows together family of what he was taught and how much he learned from his father from generation to generation will the family line of Indigenous dancing will forever be taught till the Great Father comes from the Heavens and we will all dance for his grace and eternal love. May you all be continually be blessed in the up coming new year. ishaaaa!

So moving: seems to me like a ceremony whereby father and son are facing the inevitability of the elders handing cultural treasures to the younger generation.
