[@LorindaSmith-po1ts]

Hey la whiteriver..and San Carlos.

[@wildernesboy]

Are they're diffrent types of these dancers , I've seen the white apache dancer and I've seen the black painted apache dancers, but why are they painted different?

[@ApacheKidd]

Marlon J Bernaldez The black Gaan are from the White Mountain Apache, with the white Gaan coming from the Bylas and San Carlos Apache. They’re different because of their origin stories.

[@xgymratx]

The white one is ji'i

[@malcolmnarcisco450]

I remember that day! brings back memories.. that's when we won first place, and when we perform outside in the front again the Zuni tribe were jealous singing in the back well we was performing

[@jennydany]

Amazing that until today these tribes keeping the old ''jealous''...

[@ApacheKidd]

Hmm, strange that they would be “jealous” when the Pueblo’s certain dances remain sacred and showed to no outsider...

[@wildernesboy]

So why do they have american flag bandannas on them

[@ИринаМалахова-й2щ]

Увас эсть Русскова слова язык понимаюшева тел он можети оставить ❤❤👍👍

[@pontiacaztec917]

yes I am mesheka Aztec,and toltec of mound builders from south west new Mexico yes there is a city called Aztec in new Mexico!; )

[@kendrickjoe9043]

The Mound builders were the Ancestors of the Choctaw, Muscogee Peoples, and Lakota Siouan Ancestor were mostly like involved in the mound building civilization as well, But not Aztec, the Aztec or Nahua people had left the south west and Migrated into Mexico before the Aztec ruins were built. The Aztec Ruins were built by Ancient Pueblos, And were mistaken for Aztec ruins, So no it were built by Aztec, the Aztec civilization begin around 1300 AD, In central Mexico, Us Navajo and Apache are Athabascans and descend from the Tlingit Civilization in the Pacific Northwest that build them Totem poles and Lived in Houses type dwellings, Also theirs Athabascans in Northern California in the Hoopa Valley of Northern California as well as Chetco, Wailaki, Whilkut, And the Tolowa people of Northern California and Southwestern Oregon or Called Pacific Coast Athabascans who do dances similar to the Apache Crown dancers.So it's more like Pueblo's and Hopi's were influenced from Southern Athabascan Navajo, Apaches not the other way around.

[@xgymratx]

They didnt name that aztec county til like 1940 Just because it carries the name doesnt mean there were aztecs there dumbass Thats like saying miami tribe were in florida

[@zuniloner]

[@youpumpertube]

Too bad that kid singing has a really weak voice. Hopefully he'll get better with age.
