You don't have to lose your way of life to become something great in the world -- Keyshawn Whitehorse
Reigning PBR Rookie of the Year embraces the strength his Navajo community brings him every time he enters the chutes.

[@trentwood8192]

It's awesome to see our native people in the rodeo world like Derrick, Erich, Aaron, cody,keyshawn,etc

Viva Los Navajo Nation bull riders saludos what's up from the Tejano Texans

[@jayking8476]

Tee pees with peyote meetings and pow wow dancing are jus adopted by our people, we Navajos dine' people have our own tradition with hogans and corn pollen. I wish these documentaries show more of our own traditional ways of life. But I enjoy the story of how u carry yourself through family support, prayers and teachings. Thanks for representing the Dine' people and the whole native country

[@80sbabyforlife]

Thank you. Your 💯right!

[@marcuslee5549]

Well said.

[@merleyazzilla3009]

Native or not, people in a general sense are entitled to pray as they wish. Maybe if another Dine PBR bullrider steps out of a hogan with corn pollen in hand, the theme of the Documentary would be different. ...or bring your game & rep your tribe like Stetson Lawrence. Keep it up KW!

I'd rather we keep some things secret. We are Dine'. #ThePpl

[@shawnjim2583]

This little clip of a Native American bullrider is what makes us believe he's gonna be a role model for years to come. Yes peyote isn't really our religion but I've seen its power and it'll take him all the way to that last 8 second ride to win that gold buckle! Aho keyshawn from the Jim family in jeddito AZ!

[@eddiethompson6355]

I know him personally and he is such A NICE YOUNG MAN.... my son use to ride bulls in the.,..I met his mother several times and I see a lot of her in him.... hope to meet his DAD someday.... I'm Eddie Thompson I'm Tanner Thompson DAD.., maybe we can come see you ride REAL SOON...we PRAY for all the kids that use to ride together,...STAY SAFE

[@fredrickbrien6086]

A very very positive video. Very inspirational to a lot of people. Always remember where you come from. Indigenous people are the reason the Europeans survived this long on turtle island. They should be thankful for that and recognize. Aho miiage, baam iichiiaam diialaak kooasaa.

NAC !! Does not nor will ever give strength to our people!! NAC!! Nor did Christianity ! set our people free from Bosque Redondo and establish the recognition of our Sovereignty!! It was the belief in our true Traditional ways !! I can't stand seeing those teepees cluttering our Navajo Nation. I hope my people find the true meaning of who we really are !!

Okay cody... This is about the will to ride bulls. KZbin replies is gonna change the course of our Dine people either... So, calm down my navajo brother. What time is it???? Its Rodeo time Ol Son Pow pow!!!!

[@chrisbegay8972]

I think Keyshawn whitehorse is a better well mannered young Navajo Bullrider, he helps out the youth and talks to them gives them some pointers, and He EARNED his way to the PBR, UNLIKE Cody Jesus he was just an Invite! And he dont even help the youth! Everyone thinks hes humble but he ain't, He can't act all big and cocky at the PBR, but here on the Rez hes a cocky lil kid, like dude you think your rank then take your riding skills to a higher level then staying on the Rez...Just Saying

Peyote is not the original traditional belief among our elders from 3 generations and beyond. The original Navajo had traditional chants and songs. Peyote come from the Cherokee people and other plains tribes.

The Cherokee are not a plains Indian tribe and Peyote is not particularly popular practice with them.
