Hey Peter, we the Yaquis are also in Arizona. A very small almost unknown reservation in Arizona. We have tribes across the state as well as villages in Mexico practicing the same tradition. It would be amazing to have you come by so we can show you our ways. It’s a tradition that started here in the U.S. in the 1880s. Much earlier in Mexico.

@@Thomas-Bradley Make a habit of asking preference as it literally depends and many won’t get offended if you are obviously being respectful. If you’re native, then you should know this. If you’re not, then you shouldn’t be acting like they all have one opinion and are in agreement.

[@Thomas-Bradley]

@@DinggisKhaaniMagtaal But it is fact that the word indigenous is much more respectable than calling them "the natives". Calling African Americans "the blacks" is offensive and that should apply the same to the indigenous communities everywhere. You can ask them which term is much more respectable. If indeed the goal is to be respectful than what is the problem of other people telling you that there are other more respectable ways to refer to a historically disenfranchised community? Unless of course if you are Indigenous Americans yourself

Being a boy that grew up on the Rez, I appreciate these videos so much! Allows outsiders the opportunity to actually see within. Coming from a small Rez I wish my people had the opportunities like Gila River. I traveled there for a conference in 2019 and stayed at that exact casino, beautiful place! Keep these videos coming!

[@BORN-to-Run]

HE said he was mixed, so if he's a tribal-mix and lives on that reservation, then can't you, as another tribe, live on that larger reservation? But, he also said, the smaller reservations get more money.

[@aarondebrot6500]

All tribes work differently, they’re their own nation with different laws. There are certain guidelines that need to be met to live within certain reservations tribal housing. We have mixed here but we go by blood quantum, so the more blood of a tribe you are, you enroll in that tribe. My reservation sadly has a lot of private property that was lost over time like he talked about, where members sold their land and it was bought by non-members. So you could purchase that property and “live on reservation” but tribal law supersedes within the boundaries. When it comes to “more money” it depends on your location. So with Gila River being in an area of a large city they have a lot more people visiting their properties bringing a lot more money. As for my area that is more rural that’s not the case. Relying more heavily on tourism, and grant funding. Small amounts are provided by our casinos and other businesses.

[@gwildordipkin6504]

This tribe seems to have it together. Better infrastructure than my non res hometown of 40 thousand people by far.

I had to make another comment because Peter must not have known the story of Ira Hayes a Pima Native. He was one of the men that raised the flag on Mt Surabachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II, and he is pictured in the iconic photograph of that moment that itself was made in to the US Marine Corps War Memorial in Washington DC. Johnny Cash also wrote a song about him called "The Ballad of Ira Hayes".

Yes, I was surprised Samuel didn't mention him. Ira was a Pima and the Tribe has an annual Ira Hayes Day.

[@DARKHORSEDESCENDANT520]

The Ira Hayes moment shows him reaching for the flag after he helped raise it but not being able to grasp it as it's being pulled away from him by a bunch of white men. Very symbolic.

[@EdgeXXI]

I'm Tohono O'odham and part Pima, and Hopi, with lots of family in the Sacaton area. I come from Sells on the Tohono O'odham Nation and live in Tucson. This is a remarkable presentation, I thank Samuel for taking the time to show you his Community. Yes we TOs are "old skool" as the young man remarked, sometimes a little too old skool for my personal taste, but we, Gila River, Salt River, and Ak Chin are sister tribes whose cultures are intertwined in many ways. The only thing I don't really care for living on the Rez is the isolationist mindset that leaders and especially law enforcement have, which I feel reinforces an us-against-them mentality among the people. Still, I've enjoyed watching your tours of Indian Country, thank you for your hard work.

[@BooMaster97]

I work in Gila River, and I train new employees (most of them being non-community members. I cannot stress it enough, it's like living in a whole different country as far as how people live and the culture. It's an eye-opening experience to live in a modernized society in the Phoenix valley, then working every day in the community. Thank you for this documentary, because it sheds light on how these community members live and survive.

[@Cwgrlup]

I think this is wonderful how these people are living their best lives despite what our government has done to their native culture and lifestyle. As an RN case manager who helps a lot of patients on the reservations in Oregon, diabetes is the number one disease that kills these people. Their metabolism is different than Europeans and they can’t process food- especially carbs-like we do. That includes sugars in alcohol which is why they have such a bad time with drinking. They’re more vulnerable to alcohol. This predisposes them to diabetes which leads to many other medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, wound healing problems, limb loss, blindness, and other serious complications. That’s why they have huge dialysis centers and such large supportive medical facilities to care for their community. Unfortunately, the natives in our country are dying disproportionately from the European diet and lifestyle changes we’ve imposed on them. Kudos to you for doing this important role in our society. I love helping these folks. Gaining their trust isn’t easy-that’s for sure.

Worked with several Gila River Natives & they were all very nice people - a little bit rambunctious but so am I so that's probably why we got along so well. When I was real young I ran with a rough crowd & he's definitely right about certain areas (especially just south of old Pecos Rd) being criminal hotspots (dumping of bodies, stolen cars, playing around with explosives, etc.). The GRPD were the very first PD I saw who used Ford Raptors & that was back when they first came out & I thought it was so cool haha.

I love learning about the native cultures and understanding what has happened with them because honestly it's not something that is common knowledge where I'm from. I just really find the way other people live and their history so fascinating. It's also so heartbreaking to know that my ancestors took so much from them and did a half assed job of giving back to them.

WOW… Peter perfectly distilled my thoughts on the casino vs traditional tribal values… i was thinking about it as the topic came up in video, and WHAT a cathartic release when he nailed that!

Very interesting on the Gila River Maricopa Pima lifestyle, i never knew they are so well funded. I grew up in northeast Arizona by Utah Arizona border on the Navajo rez. Our infrastructure is not great for our people. I left the rez at age 17 for a better life and not since gone back. Thank you Peter! Safe, blessed travels to you.❤

Gosh.. you need a series on History channel or something. This is such great content.

Awesome videos about the reservations.All these other videos depicting poverty and destitution while some of these tribes are really taking good care of their people while still protecting the land. Glad to see that. 10,000 % better than the hellhole that is Phoenix.

Hualapai Grand Canyon West.... Skywalk... Pleeeeeze. This is a really cool tribe, they have a sweet tourist trade, serve native food, have dances, nice. I don't think they have casinos, but Peter... You'd do a good job covering this place. The skywalk is amazing. 😁🏃🏼‍♀️
