Pueblo Buffalo Dance at Second Mesa

[@samivayajd]

Some in my tribal community are divided on the idea of uploading ceremonial recordings of social dances. Although these aren't our highly sacred Katsina dances, they do serve an important meaning. (read description)

Beautiful JD! Thank you for sharing!

[@Megulator2]

I appreciate your thoughtfulness in sharing this. For me, living on the East Coast, it’s something I would otherwise not be able to experience. I can understand not wanting more sacred things shared, but I do hope you can share to them that many of us appreciate the pieces of Native American culture that those from within that community choose to share.

Kwakwaii. I just got back a week and a half ago from staying with my Qua'a in Polacca and I'm already homesick. Thanks for the upload still helps me keep in touch with part of who I am and where I come from. Already waiting for the next two months to go by fast so that I can go back out for night dances. Once again Kwakwaii. Keep doing what your doing

I want to thank you for letting me see things like this I love all the things that Indian stuff and music and the regalia has to show I love watching all kinds of cultures especially American Indians

[@samivayajd]

These ceremonies are meant for everyone and the prayers that are included in the songs aren't just for our community alone. They are blessings to everything that is living.

JD Dalton I kind of thought so but I just wanted you to know that I had bought a CD with Indian chants and stuff because I had forgotten about the Beautiful music and all the lovely dances and prayers and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have remembered and thank you again

Hi there JD , I have a question for you that I am wondering...I'm curious what you think of the famous old book called Book Of The Hopi by Frank Waters ? I have learned so much from it and am always learning all I can n I am a gay gent too .

[@23.0liviaaaa]

I heard that two nataskas were on the roof for some reason up at polacca in my village?don't know why

[@YoursTrulyThe1Pony]

Is this at supaulovi?

[@samivayajd]

[@shanelletrujillo5419]

Hey am Honavensi and i dont really like seeing this stuff on youtube. No wounder why hopi is dying because ppl do this. Anyways not a fan...

[@samivayajd]

And yet Hopi artists sell our cultural artifacts to make A living. 90% of Rez Hopis sell their dolls, Tutsayas, and yungyapus to pahanas. Our own vice chairman sells his songs on albums that can be bought on google play and iTunes. We cannot go back to the past. We have electricity in our kivas, villages, and not even our yusi is authentic anymore for tiikiveh. Why do we broadcast Hopilavayi over the radio where ANYONE in the world can live stream online? If you don't like it, why are you watching it and clicking the links??

[@lyrs6958]

then you are stupid. Why did you click it anyways. Posting videos like this doesn't even do that. What about when there was no internet, tribes still vanished. check your facts and get yourself some braincells. IF YOU DONT WANNA SEE IT THEN DON'T WATCH IT AT ALL.
