You should try to make it to The Omak Stampede & Suicide Race, Aug 11-14, Omak, WA. The Colville's plunge horses off a 200ft cliff into the Okanogan River. There is a Native rodeo circuit that dovetails with pow wows. The Horse Nations NDN Relay Races has became a sport in its own right & would certainly warrant your investigation.

The cattle guard allows a vehicle to cross without need to open a fence, and it discourages cattle from crossing due to its width, but I've seen young steers jump them. Thanks for the video.

Reminds me of 1985 when I was 24 years old visiting the Jicarilla, Apache Reservation for the first time. I stayed with a family of Navajo who lived there. All the little kids kept laughing and following me. My friend said the little kids had not heard English yet and thought I was really funny. The grandmother was well over 100 years old and I was told, she was born during the "Long Walk," time. That would be 1866 and her age at the time 119. They were living in the traditional way, with no running water, electricity or cars. Just herding sheep and walking. It appeared a peaceful life of tradition and calmness. Time seemed to be at a different pace there.

The situation with native women is so disturbing. I personally believe it’s because of the way the law works between reservation police and state or local police.

Indigenous people have special words for warriors and fighters, for the men who put their life on the line to protect their people, then come back home and have to deal with PTSD with the added dimension of also having to deal with the weight that all Indigenous people carry.

Hello , how are you

you have native ancestry, while living a white mans lifestyle. You are exactly why the governments of these lands are going to strip natives of their *rights*. Why? Because ya'll are ASSIMILATED to the dominant culture. Why give people special rights when they're no longer special?! Why give Indigenous People indigenous rights... when they're no longer practising Indigenous people? See? THEY EITHER ASSIMILATED OR GENOCIDED our population of people. We either adapted or died. For me.. i think the fight still exists. Resistance is real, and is needed. SO WHY AREN'T WE? Well.. guess it's because native people are lost asf and claiming to be white lolololololol... taking vaccines and signing up for their handouts because it's an easier and respectable way to live eh?! ahhhh. Whatta sham. yer a conquered soul, Stephanie, a sell-out. That's not even your real name but we'll use it.. since it belongs to your new identity.

No one really talks about the displaced natives or why it is such a battle to find your tribe. 1849 James Pollock was a scout for the army and married in 1883 to Josefine Chavez full blood Apache but can't find any info of them even threw the BIA. I have aways felt like there was no place like home and wish that I was born on the res just to be a part of what you revealed to me for the very first time. Thank all of you and like he said no matter where you are at in the world the native is always with you. Stay Natural!!

[@dntskdnttll]

Maybe you could try a DNA service like Ancestry…I haven’t but have heard that people have found long lost cousins through it, and in some cases, brothers and sisters they didn’t know they had (!). It might be of help, especially if there are others out there also looking for your branch of the family but don’t have contact or know where to start. Good luck! :)

[@fionadiazdalriada]

My great grandfather was a Pollock, he married a Paterson. They were both from Scotland, but Grandpa Pollock also had ties to Northern Ireland. That side of the family emigrated all over the world. I am from Scotland too, but I've lived all over the USA. Seems I caught the "wandering" gene, my granny, (his daughter,) had it too. I agree that a DNA service might indeed be helpful. It's been really important to me to research and learn our family's history and details. Hopefully someone in the future will use it and it won't get lost again.

I recently finished watching the Amish series and thought it very well done. The big surprise to me, and probably to many, was how open so many of the Amish were in talking about their lives (and I never realized there were so many subgroups). The Amish seemed interested in educating the public about their world. Here, with the exception of the man who’d been in the military, the impression I got was that everyone was polite but otherwise pretty reserved. In my experience, in having grown up near an Indian rancheria (a small reservation), that is typical. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes go. Having found this channel, it is a bit addicting.

I hope you do a series on all of the tribes. Apache are amoung my favorites. Them and the Commanche were the ones you really didn't want to mess with. I have been honored over my many years on earth to form friendships with a lot of people from many tribes. Experiences I wouldn't ever change. I spent time in Oklahoma in school. Those friendships are still near & dear to my heart.

No doubt, but I would guess you'll visit the Ute Tribe, Utah... (People of the mountains). The University of Utah (Utah Utes) hold a special halftime show during one of our football games, where our Ute Tribe holds their tribe dances and it's always a special moment. Thank you Peter for showcasing our beloved Natives, the conversations are much needed.

[@HarrisPilton789]

I was wondering what a Ute was. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeanlanz2344]

I liked the perspectives of the two men you interviewed...No place like home cowboy and veteran who found deep brotherhood in the military. God bless you all.

I’ve been to the Mescalero Apache reservation twice, staying at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. My grandfather used to go elk hunting with the Big Game Hunts on the reservation and took me. All the guys with the Big Game Hunts were great. Amador and his son, Eddie, Wendell. All good folks. Jordan Torres is one of their local artists and my grandparents have bought some paintings from him that are absolutely beautiful. They’ve got one that’s like 4’x6’ that he painted for them of the Sierra Blanca mountain in the background with elk foraging in the valley. Fun fact: when there’s not so much snow on the Sierra Blanca mountain, you can see the mountain peak in the shape of a face with a feather coming down the back side of the head. Very cool to see this reservation in your videos.

we could do more for ourselves if our people weren't all fkd up and confused while running around claiming cowboy. gosh. that man is LOST ASF. I"m Cree, with the memory of Apache having a fierce reputation for being warriors. Guess that went down the fkn tubes.

[@pricklypear6384]

@@keetahbrough A lot of people claim Cowboy or live the Cowboy lifestyle that came from Spaniards/Mexican. The lifestyle really left a footprint in the U.S.

[@oliveraparicio8464]

@@keetahbrough Distinct tribes have to change with the times if they want to continuing existing. Look at old world ancient people like Jews, Germans, Japanese, etc etc they have evolved with the times and found a way to mix traditionalism with modernity. The Apache Tribe I'm going to assume are finding/found a way to mix the two. I know the Navajo Tribe has done that very well and are thriving in many aspects.

[@1stAmerican]

My great grandma was Abache, at Bosque Redondo she was a young girl, adopted into the Tódich'iinii Doone'e', Eastern Navajos. It was an honor directing a safety video project with Mescalero narrated in the Apache language - a first for the tribe. I miss working with those professionals in housing.

Thank you! You’ve listened to our requests. New Mexico has a many different tribes and they’re mostly Pueblos, Navajos, and Apaches. Unfortunately for many of our small communities we still have restrictions especially tribal member only entry. And most pueblos have restrictions on photography and videoing. Best to talk to the tribal offices of any of the Pueblo at you plan on visiting.

I am married to a full blooded Cherokee Indian, we'll be celebrating our 33 wedding anniversary on the 28th of this month. Peter I haven't been watching too many videos as of late, because my wife was diagnosed with having type CLL leukemia a few weeks ago. Her doctor started testing her about a year ago, after she had a blood test come back with a dangerous amount of white blood cells built up. They started doing MRI scans one after another, and then after seeing a spot on her lungs they operated on her taking it off. We were under the impression that was it, but then her doctor tells her that she needs to do a bone marrow biopsy on her! Peter I was trying to to make myself believe, that they were just trying to make more money off of us but that wasn't the case. I would be happy to pay everything that we have, and everything that we will ever get to change the results of the last test. My wife and I have been blessed with a wonderful son and daughter, and grandson that makes our family complete. I just couldn't imagine how it could have been any better, and that is why we are going to fight this battle with everything we got. Peter I hope your wife's family members are doing okay, and if there is anything we can do please let me know my friend. Great video as usual brother thanks for sharing.

Also you'll see how each state has it's own cowboy culture. If you get to talk to any Pro Rodeo Cowboys those guys/gals are more what we consider rodeo athletes.

[@brianlongshore]

The conversation with the vet was profound, him explaining the difficulty of coming back and readjusting to civilian life - away from his military buddies, close teammates really. His life was their hands and their life was in his hand. Having each others' back are just not words in the military. I learned a lot from his story. Made me think.
