[@marrock3244]

What a blessing is to have elders to teach us the right way to love this amazing tradition!!! 🙏🏼

[@27273100]

Yes, yes and *MORE* yes.

What an amazing speech. Thank you.

[@spacemoth5308]

I've been wanting to find someone explain what goes on during such a ceremony for so long. Even if just a little bit of information. From what I've seen, a lot of groups keep their practices so incredibly secretive and refuse to speak of what goes on during events like this. It may be a 5 year old video, but I'm grateful to be blessed with hearing such a beautiful, meaningful speech.

Absolutely Beautiful thank you

I'm straight feeling all of this.

[@marshacreary2442]

I'm pleasantly surprised that a university has allowed for a Native American elder to explain and demonstrate both their customs and their traditions

[@shaaron1923]

He's a Canadian Indigenous leader and the school is a Canadian Indigenous university. "Allowed"??? You mean "honoured", I'm sure.

They are the original to owner ship to America, that was stolen from them, it's a gift to receive their side and views on life 🤝 👐🏼

[@kristin5708]

Why should it not be allowed? It's our culture to share with whom we please!

[@JuliyaTeletzke]

Why wouldn't he be allowed , don't forget you took our and his land

[@icey071]

The only smudging problem I have is using a perfectly beautiful colored abalone shell as a container to light a fire with.

[@agatevictoria6432]

[@ajaberlijn4393]

Native Americans were here first treat them with respect and dignity

[@danielfontes3120]

Where are the Native Students??? ;( Hopefully since then the Nations have done a better job at incouraging its young People to go to College and be a benefit to their Nations and a Lite to the World. The Honer of excellence in who they are!!!
