Native Hairstyles at MIAC Part 3

In this third segment from the celebration of Native Hairstyles at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Santa Fe, numerous representatives of southwestern tribes demonstrate and talk about the significance of native hairstyles.

[@kaoskewenvoyouma2712]

Growing up as a child, my grandfathers, fathers and uncles all had long hair. My fondness for it came from them, then I got introduced to RockNRoll and Heavy Metal. As a child, I was often mistaken as a girl but I didn't mind. Every night I got a Hopi education and that made me more resilient. I keep my hair long although it could be bothersome but I can't imagine my life without it.

[@colorpagan]

I love watching y'all do this hair.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

I'm really surprised that these folks are so willing to share their traditions like this. I can see that not all Natives are so willing. I hope and pray that all will be respectful and humble about it. This really is a privilege.

[@xhaltsalute]

Jennifer Grove this has been such a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing.

[@sammi-joreviews1135]

Maybe people today will realize what many generations have lost due to the horrendous treatment & separations. My great grandfather & grandmothers had their hair cut & were beaten for using their languages. Some of the traditions were brought back but many more were lost. Btw, My (m)grandmother used handmade brooms much like the brush the man on here was referring to that his tribe used. I don’t recall the type of natural straws used in my grams broom but I do remember tying the top sections with her & wrapping them to be given as gifts. There was even a specific way of using them when sweeping. My family are from Eastern tribes tho we’ve somewhat been strewn across the country.

[@TimaiosGottfried]

There are always such and such people, no matter where from. I love learning about and sharing my traditions.

[@Lovely_Linda_777]

I love learning about this kind of culture! Sometimes I wish I had been born into a family that had such strong spiritual traditions. I respect all peoples heritage, & wish that all could do the same! Thank you for posting this educational video 🙏🏻💞

[@YvonneTennent]

I'm loving the french braid here. I've always loved having my hair braided very tightly, which is the same way that I braid hair, lol. braiding it tightly like that, holds it in place, stimulates hair growth, and makes the hair wavy when you take it out.

[@arlowesley]

My grandfather was half Indigenous (like actually, not fictionally). He passed away when my mom was really young. There’s a lot about my own ancestry and heritage I may never know b/c black people are often excluded from tribal affiliation. Like I never knew why I had an affinity for tying my hair the way I do… after seeing these videos it makes me wonder…

[@mitralujan5276]

Indigenous people do not turn people away if they can prove their lineage. Not by those kits sold online but from a person's relations. Many blacks married into Native Tribes. Many Natives hid Black slaves. The truth comes out when you start going back through linege.

I have a question I was taking a walk and a Swainson Hawk dropped a a Feather in my Path. I picked it up and yes the Hawk is My Spiritual Medicine Totem. And I have a lot of Crow Feathers a Great Horned Owl feather a Flicker Bird feather a snowy owl feather from a one of my Native American friends in Montana. I am sure my Ancestors were giving me a lot of Guidance and messages too from the Spirit Realm

How do you get yucca shampoo?

[@gabemccue3497]

Amanda H, you have to dig out the Yucca by the root. And attaching to the yucca root will be a bulb, shaped in a figure 8. You must then pull off the Yucca bulb from the root, then grind it in water.

[@funnygaming2672]

@@Toci333 we dont all come from there you need to revise what you learn because this old information that is not the truth

[@LadyLeda2]

@@Toci333 It depends on how far back in History you want to go. Mankind came from Africa, but that is so far in the past that most people do not identify with it. Truth is Native Americans came across a land bridge from Russia into Alaska about 25 thousand years ago. That was when the water level was lower than it is now and there was a piece of land that allowed man to just walk here. Some followed the coastline in their boats to get to the Americas. You have made a lot of comments on this video, mostly answering other people's comments. Why all the anger? You can not teach others the truth by yelling in their face that they are wrong. Just say, I think you are wrong and this is why. Than explain to them why.

[@heathert5455]

@@Toci333 I believe you. However, I don't know why you want to curse me. My paternal grandfather was first nation Ojibwe from the Swan Creek Black River tribe (his name was Albert Moore, his mother was Annamae Dagg, and her mother was Julia Fisher) and what the government did to him and his family was despicable. Though he was a survivor, the things that were done to him in the Boarding School just about broke him. My paternal Uncle was adopted by the Patowatami Cheif and lived on the reservation near Gun Lake, Michigan back in the 1970s-1980s, and he told me what the government did and still continue to do to the American Indian. He also told me of the impoverished conditions that the majority of American Indians live in on those reservations. Now, the only thing that I can think of is maybe the way that I worded my response to the initial post could have came off negatively but that was not my intent. Anyways, regardless, I wish you a belated and safe Happy New Year.

[@patriciabennett1819]

It is a wonderful culture and I have been learning about this. So interesting. Nice to know how different customs and hairstyles differ. Hopi and all the First Nation peoples have respect for their elders and teach their young so many useful things.Shells are beautiful and jewellery is splendid.Recently a Native American hoop dancer passed at the age of thirty,his name was Nakotah Larance He was amazing and did so much along with his Father who played the drum for his performances. I request that you say a prayer for all of his family. He died climbing a bridge in July. Extremely sad. I believe he was from the Hopi Nation New Mexico. He taught younger people’s to hoop dance. May he always be remembered and honoured too. Thank you so very much. I appreciate all your hairstyles and being shown how you do them.

Natives use black hair and the length of their hair to show strength and intelligence and turquoise beads that are difficult to find. Their ancestors have always done that. Brown or blonde hair will not do.

[@davyjones2994]

Brown or blonde hair won’t do? What? And the turquoise was found easily in the rivers. Peggy think before you speak

[@LadyLeda2]

Turquoise is easy to find here in the US. It was very popular in the 60's and 70's and it was everywhere. Still easy to find in the south west US. If you are a true Native American you will have black hair so no need to worry about it. But many Native Americans have married into the white culture and sometimes their children will have blond or brown hair. So blonde or brown hair will do just fine. They still are part Native American.

How in the world do Hopi make thier Hempawe to hold up thier hair!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@DarkMoonDroid]

The hair is stiffened by dirt and oil, then it stays up. They don't have alot of water there, so that's partly why they wash their hair so rarely. Only on very special occasions.
