One important thing you have to remember about us Natives is our love of humor and laughter. People like to think of us as serious and stoic, but really a lot of times we’re joking around and we laugh at ourselves.

[@dakotahwolf]

Shiiiii....the stoic is humor too 🤣

[@marloncaballero908]

mean he. Hey bro I am Native American myself and basically you took the words right out of my mouth. Big teddy bear hugs to you. Lots a love to you and your family

[@meanwhome]

My best friend was white and though out school, he'd come spend the weekend with us, run around and get dirty, and we'd ride horses and hike the mountains, and my late grandfather fell in love with him, called him grandson and when he passed away, he was one of the pallbearers, he cried just as much as we did, after high school, we parked ways, as friends and we know that we'll always be family

[@Ravenspell3]

Your best friend was so blessed to be part of your culture and to know your grandfather.

The grand finale is here! Family 10 of 10 🥹 What an amazing way to end this immersive cultural series. It's my favorite content I've ever filmed. The Native American episode is split into 3 videos. This is the first video and each one gets more epic. Native American culture is full of generosity, love, spirituality, community, and more. I feel so much more educated on their culture and comfortable interacting with the people in a respectful way. Hopefully it's the same for you too!

[@MichelleNyxRaymond]

I can’t Wait to see your other 2 videos! Wonderful job with this one! ☺️

[@NormaWills]

This has been such a wonderful series. It is great to learn about all the different families around the country. I wonder if you could find other families to visit with in the US.

[@aliksander28]

America is very big. Goes from Alaska to tierra del fuego in Chile. I like a lot your humbleness and awareness about to respect the culture of the people you stay. And I know you could travel through Latin America. Finding tons of people whom could teach you about being latinoamerican. Not in the US. But in America. You are most welcome to visit us.

[@everythin.g235]

Wait what tribe are they

[@irenedenny4919]

Of all families you choose you choose this one 😂

[@imhere626]

You were definitely accepted, when a native picks or teases that means we think of you as being close. We wouldn’t joke around with people we don’t think are good people, we might come off as mean but if you snap a joke right back at us I guarantee you we’ll bust out laughing and give you loud “MLAH” jk

[@spudsbuchlaw]

I love that so much 🥰

[@gamerseyecandy]

I’m Native American I see nothing wrong with this at all we all can learn from each other.

[@studytime3461]

I have learned a ton about posturally healthy clothing/medical brace design, and d.i.y. weapon/tool carrying belt design from both north and south American native cultures. I have serious spinal problems and breathing problems, and love carrying knives and impact weapon around so this means alot to me! People think that natives are mainly good at hunting and spiritual stuff, but there really are a lot of very practical engineering and design ideas that the rest of the world can learn from you guys.

[@sr2291]

Why would anything be wrong with this? 🤔

[@spudsbuchlaw]

Love seeing people who aren’t our people respecting our culture and our ways and showing people our culture and how we are not scary and we aren’t bad we are just people who care about our culture and a lot of the time is spent with us with us laughing and spending time with family. What I’m trying to say is thank you this video, love from the Me-Wuk people and great great great great granddaughter of a chief❤❤

[@historybound9615]

Natives have such a fun humor. We play pranks and to outsiders it might seem like insults or teasing but it's with love. Much like some Asian cultures, we are more polite in formal situations. If we pick at you and make jokes and give you a hard time, you're one of us now. If we smile and nod, we are listening to your character and your heart and will be over polite until we know you better. If we don't know you well enough to be open with you, we will still be kind and polite but you won't get razzed. We are also a very giving culture and that fact has been abused a lot throughout history. If you are in need, we will do all we can to help. There are around 500 different tribes in North America and each has a unique heritage, culture and practices. We don't all look the same, sound the same, dress the same or have the same spiritual beliefs. We hold different things sacred and dance different dances but we are all still here. Come to a powwow! Dance with us! Eat some good food and learn some real history.

Aw I wouldn't have come across your channel if not for these videos. Obv I'm so happy to see someone take interest in our culture, we're proud of it and ready to share, but I think this series you're doing is not only important for us but for everyone in the US and Canada as well. The world is so divided politically, and racism is alive and well, so it's beautiful to see one person take interest in another culture with such an open mind and open heart. Miigwetch (Thank you). Also, some further docs/resources if anyone would like to learn more about what Devan touched on in terms of hunting. There are two documentaries you might be interested in called "Cree Hunters of Mistassini" and "Diet of Souls". Also, anthropologist Harvey Feit has a lot of work on subsistence hunting, he's a good reference.

Very sad. Hopefully people will educate themselves after meeting you and your family.

Totally enjoyed your journey, I am Native American and live in Hawai'i. Where I started watching and ending it with this is absolutely beautiful. Native sarcasm is a bit of an adjustment, like Hawaiian. ❤😅

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I’m so curious as to what it was like to compare and contrast your own culture with the indigenous Polynesians. I have native central and South American ancestry, my grandparents are from Ireland and Trinidad and I was born in England so definitely feel kind of disconnected from those tribes over here

[@lenniedavis1294]

In Sweden where I live we learn in history about different countries indigenous groups, such as the native Americans and their history and current living conditions. I’m immersed how little the Americans know compared to me as a swede about their own indigenous people

[@corymountain3957]

In America they skip over the chapters about the indigenous tribes. As an indigenous man myself I always wondered why as a kid they would skip over all these chapters!!!

[@Frizzi04]

@@corymountain3957 In Sweden we have an indigenous group as well called samer, the we’re in the 1920-1950 badly treated by Swedish government. Force to only speak Swedish, and they took pictures of them during natzi time in books and said they were a bad race because of their indigenous features. Some were even sterilized it’s sad and not something we are proud over at all. At least we learn this in school and so it never happens again

Bannock bread is originally from Scotland, but with early contact between Scottish settlers and Native Americans it became common in Native cultures!.

[@Cornerstanding]

Isn't this family affiliated with the Bannock Nation of Idaho? It's an indigenous people group.

[@none4530]

@@Cornerstanding I'm not sure of their affilliation, but regardless Bannock bread and the word Bannock is Scottish originally and spread through native tribes through contact with settlers

[@poloclubb]

Same ingredients, different style, makes sense the ingredients for bread and flour came from white ppl

[@studytime3461]

That connection probably happened because the scottish were still a very untamed and traditional clan/tribal society when they first came to america, so they could get along and intermarry better with the natives than the english did(because the commercial/industrial british mentality was more alien and hostile to native values and habits than the scottish clan warrior mentality was).Gavin McGinnis(a scottish canadian with a native wife) mentions this historical dynamic in some of his podcasts.

[@none4530]

This is not historically true for multiple reasons, sorry. I literally live in Scotland and know a lot about this history. "Scottish clan warrior" is a major exaggeration, the understanding of the clan system has been distorted from what it originally was. England and Scotland were not majorly different in the way you mention, it was more regions within the country that were different at the time. @@studytime3461

I absolutely love their culture. As a Greek, I am proud of my ancestry but I wish we had more in common with this culture and their spirituality rather than the warfare mentality of my culture. The funny part is that we, the whites, call these people savages, while our cultures (Greek, Roman, Saxon, Nordic) were far more brutal.
