Only discovered 1491’s yesterday here on a dark cold autumn night in northern England. Less than a minute into this video and I’m chuckling. Cheers guys it’s my second day of my hepatitis C treatment so looking for stuff to cheer me up and I’ve found it.

[@JaRule6]

I also just discovered them about a week ago. ❤ I can't believe that the algorithms didn't bring it to me sooner 🤷 good luck with your recovery 🙏🏻💕 and if you haven't already seen it, search for their video called slapping medicine man 😂😂😂😂

[@danystrickland2815]

2:45 "we're gonna build this thing as the biggest and most badass powwow you ever seen" *two random grizzly's go flying across the screen*

[@dinegoddess505]

"there will be lots of new indians to be made" LMAO

[@syahtree3231]

Let's go snaggin🤣🤣🤣

[@juliethildreth7518]

Lol at the comment to charge the Tiny Tots. Haha. Continue the circle... All clean humor and poking fun. Goodness. This comedy troupe is great. Thank you the1491s.

[@sugashayne1994]

I laughed at the old school wrestler, Tatanka’s picture in there! 😂

[@bradzamora4424]

The Year is 1981... ...and they have cell-phones that take pictures.

[@AhNee]

"Just shut up, okay?"

[@samslaughter9079]

Wow, just wow, I went to the Crazy Horse museum this past summer and this speaks volume. Later that night we met some indigenous people and they informed us that money from the museum does not go towards their culture but the white people who are building the memorial, which explains why the movie only shows 10 seconds of Crazy Horse. RIP Crazy Horse, one of the greatest and I’m glad I knew about him and his greatness before I visited the museum. Know yourself, be true to yourself and stand for what you believe in.

[@JaRule6]

❤

[@WildWoodsGirl65]

Thanks for pointing that out. ~Native People

[@michaelmadrid]

Wow! That was truly frightening! Not the commercialization of a Native tradition, the idea of being knocked out and waking up with Dallas and Bobby hovering over me. ;)

[@lowercase21]

He ran from the FED's like most Indians lol

[@sopyleecrypt6899]

I love Dallas Goldtooth and Bobby Wilson together.

[@travman261]

Im Fricken CRAZY horse Vision OUT

[@skoomasteve7787]

[@zackham9118]

The champion belt gets me everytime

[@chrisbailey9377]

Was that Tatanka from the WWF ..before it was the WWE?

[@MrRezbum]

yeah Have you ever been to Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque New Mexico? It's run by a black guy.... This video is spot on!

[@aianinfusion]

#Facts

[@WildWoodsGirl65]

They even called him Derek in the video. It's about Derek Matthews the guy commodifying Native culture. #BoycottGON bc he wouldn't refund the $750 a booth vendor fees during covid when it was put on lockdown.

[@alicewonder0]

They said his full name​@@WildWoodsGirl65

[@TruthArrows]

Good message. I love your humor and activism combination, it's a great way to reach the people.

[@kksejokes3437]

black guy ; But i'm not indian!! White guy; Just shut up okay ?!?

[@Coping__Mechanism]

"Vision out!" I love that that made it to TV.

[@Beedahsiga]

"What... Vision,OUT !!!!"

[@Stoyee]

camera phone in 1981... good one!

[@curtismes]

Dallas Goldtooth is my new Dave Chappelle

[@PHDWhom]

Without Chapelle’s punching down.

[@WhiteStarWoman]

So you're telling me sound black dude named Derrick started the Gathering of Nations? Riiiiiiiiiight :)

[@WildWoodsGirl65]

He also registered himself as a non-profit though he makes 1.5 mil off it & he gets Wells Fargo & others to pay expenses like renting the venue, that also support pipelines.

[@revanelson8810]

True it's very expensive to attend the gathering of nations pow wow. $10 for fry bread, $18 for admission, etc

[@Lyko5]

you can always blame the imperial capitalism for it

[@okaminess]

Reva Nelson always the same damn food vendors like lotaburger.

[@eliasdaw5088]

My dad doesnt even song for gatherings anymore. and in the three years it's been they've gotten worse dude

[@utej.k.bemsel4777]

Money makes the world go around, there are people all over the world with Dollar signs in their eyes!

[@WildWoodsGirl65]

$20 for admission now &850 for crafters' booths. He makes about 1.5 mil a year & gets Wells Fargo to pay for the expenses. They fund pipelines.

[@Abbot3663]

"But im not indian" "shutup just listen"

[@Way2Spirited]

LOL but seriously good message!! Comedy can be a great style of activism, people open up and let their guard down because they're laughing and I think it's easier for them to hear/receive the message in this state. BTW Pshh CH CH, nice AIM jacket.

[@Uncivilize]

I've found this to also be true of really good live music. No one thinks it's anything serious, but a powerful message can come through, without the musicians being shot!

[@soonerscotty]
