Hi Sierra! I love your channel. I'm from Florida, not native. My grandparents lived in Clarkdale AZ in the 1960's and 1970s. They were not native but most of their friends were Navajo and Hopi. I have special memories going on the Navajo reservation with them as a little kid in late 70's.

[@SierraJohnson]

Wow! That is awesome! Do you come to AZ to visit?

[@maurizioevaristo4496]

Hi Sierra. I Maurizio Evaristo, and follow your channel from Italy. I am "native" in the hearth. My original land is actually an island looking toward Africa in the South west of Italy. We have got traditions strangely surprisingly similar to the dine's . A wild territory many sheeps, and traditions of honor in a very ancient culture proud of them. Our aspect is very similar also as external aspect. Dark skin black hair, and oriental eyes. There is a "genetic" cultural and misterious connection between us. The same I feel with native australian people. I made some research about it. I Have been in Arizona and New mexico many years ago, before you were born and I was struck and still I am by the nature and the local culture. I'd like to return with a mission, to develop some international exchanges between nations to create "bridges" across the oceans. What do you think about it? the video you post are very nice Sierra. Keep going. Ciao

[@SierraJohnson]

Wow, that is so interesting of the similarities that I did not know of. I'm sure your land is beautiful. I think that is would be nice to be able to learn more about other cultures, especially international. I have never left the US but hopefully one day. :) Thank you for watching.

[@eutimiochavez415]

We miss it this yr we want it back.

[@matthewleys6504]

Hello Sierra, I'm not native to anywhere that's why I always seek your wise cultural guidance. This vlog was particularly wonderful. Seri was resplendent in her outfit and your make up was divine. ( To be honest I had to check how Seri's name was spelt to write it correctly). Your accommodations were remarkably similar to those you might see in Bali. Need to watch your head around The Pueblos, just in case there's a "throw down". Thankyou so much for making this video and letting us tag along with you

[@SierraJohnson]

Thank you so much Matthew! I did not know about the Pueblos' "throw downs" haha, you probably know more about other Native tribes than I do. :) Thank you for watching and always supporting me and my channel.
