Hopi buffalos 2023

[@rosiejimenez8832]

❤Thank you this brought tears to my eyes to see that it is obviously cold and wet and the dancers are performing a prayer for the world is incredibly selfless and generous. May we all learn to be the same.

[@treykoyawena4443]

Yeah we do a lot of our ceremonies in harsh weather conditions like snow, rain, blistering heat, and dust storms.

[@timbailon8166]

This is why I'm proud to be part Hopi....through all sorts of weather they continue to dance with nature. My dad is from Mongshongonvi, I live here in Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo). Hopi is my heart and prayers.

[@timbailon8166]

@Sher He's probably out there in Mongshongonvi. He hasn't spoke to me for years.

[@timbailon8166]

@Jah.... Thank You! That means alot to me. I make embroidery laces for men's and women's clothes...do you have gmail? I have this ipad and only way I can communicate is through gmail.

[@zanewalsh1812]

I see this dance 🥰 I see the dancers and the audience, well I don't know the story though 🙏🏼 I listening in English if anyone has a message for me 🧘🏼‍♂️💫✨ 🌎🌍🌏🕊️ We are all in this together, keep dancing, keep remembering 🤟🏼 These days more of our lost brothers and sisters and family are wanting to reconnect and return to living WITH each other. These signs are gifts for those seeking to connect 🫂

[@calinative5302]

What a trip I have connections there but never access so great to see

[@treykoyawena4443]

Yep is Hopi are tough as nails when we dance

[@Hey_its_Koda]

Love these buffalo dances. Must of been cold that day. But l love that weather. Smell cedar and pinon wood burning from the houses. Wrap yourself in a blanket and watch them dance in the plaza. My favorite time of the year. Reminds me Laguna Pueblo as a kid. We would walk up to the plaza. Even in the snow. They would have deer and antelope dances. The men would sing and throw out goodies to us. My brother and i always ended up with bunch of oranges and animal crackers. 😂

Ditto here to the HOPI NATION(!!!)- from the pansexual Airline Pilot in Minneapolis Mn 55432. USA. Our native Americans were hormistreated by our arriving white boy's from western Europe. Read on...for someone whose "grateful"...they sure have a FUNNY way of showing it!!!

Many Blessings for all the dancers, drummers and all the people there and around the world. Thank you for sending forth the blessings for the coming crops in all directions...Lord knows and most people know there are seemingly those that would rather tamper with harvested food and nature. Much peace and harmony your dance prayers and songs gave me just watching)listening and participating on KZbin. Heartfelt Gratitude...ThankYou ~ ♡~

In high school I had friends from Hopi I used to attend their dances they were gracious hosts and benevolent even though our tribes were ancient enemies.

I have so much gratitude to you for sharing this, my body tingles soo much when I hear and Lear about the Hopi People. Thank you and sooooo much Love🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@lisaschmidt8466]

Must feel so good to belong to a solid community. I love that they are barefoot.

[@TanyaMouskowitz]

You have no idea!! Esp if ur away from it for so long. But it don't help if some amongst us have that gate keeper mentality that keeps the rest of us from feeling and "being" in harmony... The very purpose of what the ceremony is about. We push out a lot of good ppl when we only think of ourselves. Strong communities build and make good individuals who can act be human! And it starts in the home and as children! No one especially not even visitors like you should be made to feel left out. By just you being there you helped out the ceremony. Your presence alone helped its purpose. The drum don't beat for itself it call everybody to come and dance and be happy! That's why our ceremonies arent closed off to outsiders like some pueblo communities elsewhere.

[@MoonLuna79]

Such an amazing video. Thank you for sharing. An ancestral tribe. One of the oldest tribes known. Much respect. I’ve always felt a deep connection with this tribe. It’s a beautiful way how life is viewed. It’s so sad to see we are losing more and more of our humanity everyday. ❤

[@michaeldunigan1067]

May the sun shine bright upon the Hopi people. And the warm soft wind of peace ever go before you.

[@demoncorejunior]

Love to see the young people coming out in the weather both to participate and to spectate. Very moving

[@francesbernard2445]

They make dancing on a team look more like real joy while at the same time being pleasing to their maker too. Instead of over time becoming disabled while for example in ballet dancing on point when not being tossed up into the air or instead having to carry the full weight of another adult.

[@TrollBot.]

I love this though I'm not Hopi Im from a different tribe from the south. Can someone explain the significance of this specific dance? Thank you brothers and sisters love you from the south!

[@wenmcbrainvansandt3030]

These dances, mainly the Buffalo dances are held to pray for snow and rain for more moisture for the coming planting season. The songs they are singing are calling for the clouds to come from all directions, the girls are dancing with prayer sticks and prayer feathers tied to them and the Buffalo dancers are dancing with lightning sticks and the rattles are the sounds of the rain coming down. The second song, they're dancing in the four directions once again, for the calling of the clouds to come. They do different kind of like say, clowning dance to bring happiness and laughter to the people. Plus to show their partners the attention of love and Harmony between them. The girls will continue to dance as long as they don't have any children. Once they get pregnant and have a child, they are no longer allowed to dance thus, gives the chance for other girls to dance. These dances have been held for years and years without end to bring all the Hopi people together and help us to live in Peace, Love, and Harmony.

[@wenmcbrainvansandt3030]

I was picked to dance twice long ago by Gurtrude Talas and the late Tammie Tootsie but, it was the Hopi Buffalo dance held during the summer. This particular Buffalo dance is a type of group that challenge the main group saying. "Hey we can dance faster and harder than you." Hahaha so it brings the main group of dancers to perform their best. Everything is considered highly in spirit with all the groups that come and dance to make it rain and snow as hard it can. We are all considered clouds by the Hopi people. Every human being is a cloud no matter where they come from so, when everyone come watch our dances, their clouds also come and join our clouds and make it rain and snow for the moisture. Also every ceremony is not just for the Hopi people. They are held for the whole world to have crops and also to pray for Peace, Love, and Harmony throughout the world. So Don't worry be happy. DON'T WORRY BE HOPI. MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS

[@wenmcbrainvansandt3030]

Our Tewa family have been given a plaza house since I really don't know when. It's been a very long time ago into the past century so our family do our part to help the Hopi people with our prayers. I am Tewa Hopi Paiute and Navajo. It's a long story of how our Tewa warriors, Tewa people ended up living among the Hopi people A story to be told at a different time. I have my own KZbin channel. I invite you to my personal channel. I have two different KZbin channels. Enjoy

No Buffalos in the US, only Bison. I´m sure the Hopi know this, and now you do too. Buffalo Bill, and the town of Buffalo reveal the level of American education.
