Can't wait till we have our first Indian president. One day.

[@withwingsaseagleeyes]

that is just it and needs to be planned as soon as possible. Every Indigenous needs to spread the word on who to write in for POTUS. And spread this word to friends of those who are indigenous to these lands.

[@withwingsaseagleeyes]

John Burns and who is that?

[@johnburns7407]

You don't recognize him? It's Trudeau

[@johnburns7407]

If you ever need someone to talk to just PM me. You shouldn't feel alone, there's lots of enjoyable people to be around these days, you just have to know where to find them. For what it's worth, sorry that you went through and are still going through all of that.

[@withwingsaseagleeyes]

John Burns Well thank you. But I don't see where I could PM you. :D I just remember, not that I'm going through it over and over again and again till I go nuts. ;)

[@SUNSL33P3R]

By reading the comments its clear not everyone gets this humor, its poking fun at people who poke fun at US and disrespect our culture... i may be a small town Holdenville OK Creek girl but i get it hahaha, very cute and now the song is stuck in my head!!

[@DarthHumongous]

Yeah, it's all lighthearted fun

[@bradzamora4424]

I thought it was funny! But as an outsider looking in, is there anyway to respectfully adorn oneself with Native American attire?

[@juliethildreth7518]

So true!

[@ariyaiyb]

Handsome Brad Buy it from a native :)

[@Castlecoke]

Handsome Brad like the last person said. buy from a native and dont over do it. make it look cool and like not trying but also know what it is you are wearing and its meaning.

[@melody7832]

as a native american living on a reservation, it is entirely humor calling out the disrespect in our culture. notice too in the lyrics she's naming a lot of the tribes, and the people in the bg are actual natives. full, mixed and all. i enjoy this video a lot :D and so does my family. we all had a big giggle fit and that's A+. we do love our humor! Edit: I hadn’t realized Mr. Red Corn is native! That makes this a hundred times better!

[@chloesadler728]

Its really catchy

[@mzmadmike]

The song is from a musical back in the 50s that was satirical in presentation.

[@controlfoodcontrolthepeopl5627]

Not disrespectful it us better to educate and embrace people wanting to learn about Indian culture. Colonization has gone on far too long.

[@fragolegirl2002]

[@Hardrada88]

This seriously has become my new favourite channel..never laughed so hard. Some people can be so strange..Best is to laugh.

[@AmosAmerica]

This is a great post and I love everyone's commentary on it. The music is a disco remake of the Irving Berlin song "I'm an Indian Too" by Don Armando's 2nd Ave Rhumba Band. It was the flip side of their hit song "Deputy of Love." The original song was made for Rodgers & Hammerstein's 1946 musical "Annie, Get Your Gun" - a fictionalized version of the life of Annie Oakley. Originally a Broadway hit, it was later made into a film in 1950. I have some mixed feelings about the song now as an adult, but as a kid, I loved it and loved hearing all the different tribal names on my radio. Today, I heard the original Ethel Merman version from the 40's and tried to imagine it in the context of the musical. I can see a multitude of problems I wasn't aware of as the 1979 version gave me a totally different feeling.

[@pazvato]

I like how Ryan Red Corn is rockin' the one black sock on his right foot! Gangsta!

I've watched this over a dozen times now and still find those brilliant instances and images that I missed before. I'm so sorry that I got on the 1491 bus years too late. Not every video is as brilliant as this one, but every one carries a message to both Native as well as non-native viewers, softened with humor and designed to wake the masses. Thank you for the great work

My dad lived in Utah for a while and realized he strongly preferred Navajo bolo ties to white ties. I don't know for sure if he bought his bolo ties directly from Natives but he definitely cherishes the ones he has. He actually wore one when he married my mom.

And.....flash to one of those clips shown at the beginning.... Wow! I forgot about that...."Zack" from "saved by the bell" saying he was native in and episode about family heritage. A footnote to share: the actual actor is an INDO (Dutch indo) like me..... my family is from the island of borneo......so I guess my cringe-and-laugh song would be "wild woman of borneo" so double feels to this...😆

"You see the one thing I've always maintained is that I'm an American Indian. I'm not a Native American. I'm not politically correct. Everyone who's born in the Western Hemisphere is a Native American. We are all Native Americans. And if you notice, I put American before my ethnicity. I'm not a hyphenated African-American or Irish-American or Jewish-American or Mexican-American. " .. Russel Means. Mitakuye Oyasin!

[@iambackd2]

There is wisdom in it but I am not so sure about the definition of “American” here, this is important; after all, “ I put American before my ethnicity” Means was also a former American Indian Movement (AIM) activist, who helped lead a 1973 uprising at Wounded Knee (BBC 2012). There are moral prerequisites at place before celebrating the concept of “ I put American before my ethnicity” But I don’t know you or exactly what you meant yet; therefore, I could be inconsiderate and even wrong, just some thoughts.

You should be aware that they quite frequently take on issues of sexual and physical violence against indigenous (and by extension, all) women, and they take it quite seriously. If that's not a "worthy issue," I don't know what is.
