This was amazing. As an African American (of Gullah descent) I wish that Native culture was just as prevalent in our society as Black culture. Our country still needs mending, and we cant truely do it without you guys 🙏

[@aditea03]

I love your comment, and I appreciate your thoughts on the lack of prevalence of our culture. Something that needs to be understood, however, is that while powwows are open to the public, our ceremonies and other parts of our cultures are held closely to avoid both persecution (look up the Freedom of Religion Act that was passed in 1978--pretty recent), and to avoid the culture vultures. We just want to practice our ways in peace, and being too open can expose us to very negative things! Seek out a powwow, though :) You will be welcomed!!

[@seattlejewel]

Most of the Native Americans tribes and individual members recognize that the struggles of People of Color” are far more alike than any cultural differences that may exist. Not that “whites” are rejected either; they are also welcomed. We even have special dances for “All tribes”.. That means everyone. We ALl beat with hearts made by our Creator and we all bleed. We all cry when we are hurt (but many learned to suppress those emotional displays” as they were beaten severely, punished without food or even water, humiliated in front of peers, separated from even talking or seeing their siblings … death too was often a consequence, either through deliberate neglect or even more commonly poor nutrition and inadequate medical care. All for little children forced by US and Canadian governments to attend by threatening to withhold food rations from their parents and families who did not cooperate.) I digress. The generational traumas are still quite present., for Gullah descendants too I imagine. Sound familiar a bit? I only spent a month outside Charleston two decades ago and was woefully ignorant of Gullah culture then. I can see many similarities even though there are certainly many differences too. I pray you all stay strong and healthy. The resurgence in cultural pride is beyond heartwarming. I know our people are happy to welcome all peoples as long as they are respectful.

Amen

[@LaReinaDeMuerte444]

It’s designed that way. Even in the 40’s they still posted signs “ No Indians or dogs” “ no breeds” and the education system has the most awful and most corrupt way of explaining who the Native people are and each distinguished tribe. Everyone is taught amongst predominantly white people to have a completely delusional view on our people. African Americans are close to over 40 million in the U.S..but our people who were here for thousands of years are now left at under 10 million and some still rather be “Hispanic” if black culture could start speaking up and spreading awareness then yes, maybe you can see our people in the room more often.

Thank you so much for this comment. Really touched my heart

[@Sparkles-gp2bm]

Those VOCALS are incredible and that beat is so in sync

[@huntr4lfe]

As a white man i trace my ancestors to early germanic and norwegan people. Ive been listening to a lot of the ceremonial type music that is very old and it just grabs your soul. This does the same thing to me, very primal feelings.

[@mcsuchnsuch]

I don’t know what is being said but I can definitely sense some power. As a Polynesian I understand the importance of heritage and culture. Good to see the young kid in the back learning his roots. Respect 🤙🏽

[@hilo5901]

They are singing in their Language. Usually the lyrics are very heartfelt and meaningful. Some tell stories. Others express feelings. All in “a good way” ❤️. To me, a song gives Glory to God. When I dance, it is to give Glory to God; thanking my Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ for His many Blessings. ❤️

[@eshkakogan75]

German -Swiss American here! I strongly suggest that people support the American Indian College Fund/ Denver ,Colorado! This fund supports young Native American who wish to attend Tribal Colleges and other colleges and Universities! Tribal colleges like Oglala Lakota College on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in Kyle ,South Dakota help preserve the Lakota language and culture! It also gives these students education in nursing, other medical fields, business , and many other fields of study!

[@kelleywarriors7091]

You do realize Mexica are native Americans right? We are these people, wake up from your slumber. These are our brothers.

[@raulrodriguez5073]

@por?pendejos! No Sir, just the one who reminds those wanna be Natives of how fake they sound as they claim heritage but cant seem to know shit about its history...Allow me to remind those that as of today'.no one can say exactly where the Mejicas came from...Cali, New Mexico...or the mythical Aztlan...I would like to think the Hopi theory is the closest..but then again...not enuff out there to confirm

[@art6312003]

@jack Ramirez yeah, Unfortunately they made mexican a nationality like American. I’m not referring to the colonist.

[@satan3860]

I am first generation born in America. My ancestors are the Picts. Something to recognize, at least in my eyes, is that this is our soul. The ground we walk on is stained by the blood of many, but there is one thing to remember. This ground is my ground, it is their ground, it is our ground. We fight for one nation. While the past may be covered in pain, it is the pain of my ancestors now. When I was born here, I was born on that same ground, and now, there pain is my pain. Remember that the natives, the revolutionaries, the civil rights fighters, the soldiers, they all shed blood for this nation, our nation. I stand with everyone. I stand with my people. I don’t care what your race is or what your lineage is, being a true American is embracing that spirit which lives within us. We are one, we are Americans, and we will fight for what we believe. I stand with my brothers and sisters always.
