I'm Kikuyu- a tribe in Kenya and this video makes me want to cry. It's beautiful when a group of people have a voice in how they are portrayed. It is a powerful thing when you are your own storyteller or the storyteller is someone who does not downgrade you but understands you. I am an artist and music videos like such are EXACTLY what I want to create. Thank you for this.

I belong to the indigenous people of Northern scandinavia (the Sámi people) and this song and video really gave me more strenght to keep educating about Sámi people and fight for our rights. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@smurfylee]

Ávvudallat 90 Hi that's so interesting, I do not know about your culture at all, I will do some research on it now , sorry for my ignorance. I'm an indigenous Australian, this song is powerful right , have a good day.

[@josephineoberg5774]

Smurfy Lee Oh no worry! We're kinda in the shadows because our government don't really wanna acknowledge us hence we've become sort of "invicible". Hell Swedes aren't even taught about us in school and we share country. Hilarious! Tell me if you have trouble finding info about us :)

[@smurfylee]

Ávvudallat 90 OK thanks. yes my aboriginal culture was not taught in schools here til recently, and even with that it's false, pretty much teaching that everything was hunky dory when the English came and that my ancestors were so happy and pleased to discover rifles and scissors and flour from them haha!

[@josephineoberg5774]

Smurfy Lee Really? We get ro read about you guys a tiny bit more than sámi people though I feel like all schools no matter where really needs to put focus on the native people of all countries. Here they don't even wanna apologize for what they put us through, racial biology studies among a lot of stuff. Although the swedish church actually did apologize a couple of months ago but we still lost most of our religion and these last years our language have been taught a wee bit more often. But in general everyone, including natives, need to keep fighting for proper education. Knowledge is still the lightest burden to carry and we can't tur our back to the fact that those who don't know their history is doomed to repeat it.

[@smurfylee]

Ávvudallat 90 you're right. Yes I did know that our culture was taught more overseas than in our own country! Frustrating that your peoples are still struggling with some issues with not even an apology, new Zealand Maoris got a treaty, we did get an apology from govt back in 08, but not much has improved in other areas . The apology was " we SAY sorry", not " we ARE sorry, big difference, anyway I'm excited to learn about the Sami! :-)

[@yanderegeek168]

Isaia Leuila​ welp I learnt something today, we are but we also not though. We took the land from the Moriori's before we claimed it so I don't think we're indigenous? Well idk I think that just really depends to be honest

[@elderhughes6924]

Yandere Geek we migrated and breed with them during the tribal wars that's why we are Maoris And Not Moriori

[@foragingadventuresnz4283]

We did not take New Zealand off the Moriori's they lived on the Chatham islands ( where they are indigenous), not in New Zealand. Maori went over to the Chathams andattacked them while living in New Zealand. Please educate yourself. Maori are indigenous to New Zealand.

Hello from The northwest coast of turtle island, named "vancouver island, british columbia, canada" by the colonialist government (i serve no queen). I am a part of the Kwakwakawakw tribes (kwakwala speaking people). I really enjoyed this video and the interview associated. Thank you for sharing your good intentions through your music, it is inspiring! Indigenous people rising! Here we have the Tribal Canoe Journeys, where a coastal nation will host all surrounding nations (here there are many many distinct nations) to paddle their traditional canoes for feasting and cultural sharing. This year it is happening August 5th hosted by the Wei We kai and Wei We kum Nations in "Campbell River". Look it up!

As Maori indigenous to Aotearoa (New Zealand), we too recognise our tribal Waka (canoe) and we learn our Pepeha (Family history...kind of). We as a tribal people get taught our Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), Marae (meeting house) and Ancestral Waka (canoe).

iAmChampion And that is fair to disagree with some choices he has made.. however i would say the same thing had this song been written/performed by someone else, be it a caucasian female, or another maori man. As a musician, it is very pleasing. and that is coming from a woman who mainly prefers other genres over hip hop.

This is the most tasteful and powerful video I have seen in a long time. The dance... beautiful to see women exude power...goes to show you can mesmerize without twerking.

[@azul_thecreator]

maseyez1 first of all if you don't understand something DONT COMMENT. "Twerking" is part of African culture and has been around the black diaspora cultures since the slaves were forced out of Africa, even men do it. It's nothing new. You only know about it because Miley Cyrus "brought it to the forefront". It has been around and will Continue to be around and don't make comments about it. Just like this video is about their culture, "twerking" comes from culture too, THE ORIGINAL culture and science will back that up for you.

[@dionnegreening4861]

maseyez1 it's maori

[@lauren-ko7mr]

maseyez1 you cant pick and choose which marginalized cultures to respect and which ones to reject, dude. the haka is part of maori culture and twerking is a part of african culture, and they're both equally significant and powerful. do your research 👍🏻

[@maseyez1]

Rin Smith If you read my comment from a happy place. You will see there is no denigration of the African culture or placing one culture over the other. It is was actually complimenting both. Your perception and that of the other lady above is misguided. Just like you assuming I am a dude.... calm down and stop being angry. I love the video for it's authenticity. Let's leave it there and allow these artists to bask in the glory of their new release. Peace and love.

Chris T Tuia Your coconut trees and sticks? Better get those back.

[@kkaebsongllama1690]

we dont even have coconut trees dipshit, we did own all of our land that was taken though

[@King_2ya]

hatboxful sold? bullshit! the european discoverers came to establish whether there was a continent in the south pacific, drew maps, and decided to stay... or did u mean trade? of course they did, how else were the Maoris going to let them stick around. If they knew the shit stains Europeans would turn NZ in to 300 years later they wouldnt have traded and chased them back on their disease infested boats back to Europe!

[@kkaebsongllama1690]

Thank you! I was just going to say exactly that, because maori literally had people take millions of acres of land from us!

[@sianrohde8714]

Chris T Tuia racist much, my ancestors had nothing to do with it, they weren't here so stop throwing all white people in the same box. nothing to do with me, NZ is my home.

I'm from Brazil and absolutelly loved this! It's an amazing video with heart, soul and truth! I really wanna travel to NZ to see this amazin places with my own eyes! So much respect!

[@des9323]

This video is amazing. I watched his interview about the music clip which is why I had to watch it. It's so amazing to hear what he originally wanted to with this vid which was showing flags of every indigenous culture. I just want to say I absolutely loved that idea really wish you could've done what was originally in your plan to do Stan however this was still an amzing video. I'm not Maori but I have always been fascinated with the Maori culture and how strong and alive it is today in your people in this day and age.

[@rechoice9010]

Still get goosebumps watching this!!!
