Your words of wisdom are always appreciated. My family has had a business in Southern California selling books by and about Native Americans at powwows for over 30 years. There are many books I refused to carry because of misinformation. This has necessitated me reading and reviewing many hundreds of books. I have always been passionate about reading and educating others with Truth.

[@gwendolynsinclair]

Power to you for refusing to carry/sell books of misinformation that would be dispersed to people!

[@semigoth299]

❤thank you for actually taking the time to cut through the murky water of misinformation ❤❤

Greetings grandfather. Thank you

[@adsrentals]

Thank you for stressing the importance of cursive! There are so many people who can't read it, let alone write at all! Electronic devices have destroyed the basic knowledge of most people. I worked 5 years in a county clerk office, performing archive research...I loved reading the court cases, deed books, journals that dated back to 1853! Even though I lived in the same town my entire life, I actually learned more about our community history in those 5 years! History, whether it's written or spoken, define us as a nation...I find your stories enlightening, thank you.

[@arturkarpinski164]

This man is a true spiritual teacher

[@valenciajohn3043]

I miss my grandparents so much. To hear the wisdom, knowledge, and so forth. Most of all I miss their love. In you I see them and I hear them. Thank you grandpa! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. 💗🙂🤓😎

While it seems to have benefited all of us here to have you being told to go to school, I absolutely respect and admire your elders for recognizing your ability to handle the animals, in another time that's what you would have done! Very much appreciate your content and sharing of these things, I wish to know the truth!

[@mmm1691]

I could listen to these for hours- and I have. Thank you both for every minute of this work. I was thinking that buying some of your merchandise for Christmas presents would be a great way for people to support you, as well as direct donations! This work is so important.

[@grouchygeek4176]

And it's up to the rest of us to make sure we're teaching our children the truth as well. Thanks for the info as always Wally :)

[@beatereich5466]

There is always a greater truth. When I was a Kid......Santa Claus was a truth for me😊 We grow and expand......

[@josephdenys264]

The words just spoken are so true. My adopted father to told me the same thing sixty years ago. He was Cherokee.. and a fine and wise man

[@Patrick-jm3vo]

Thank you Mr. Wally for this "installment" and thank you for taking the time for us and to speak on things good and bad. And whether the topic is one or the other, they are always good medicine. And when you speak the language of your tribe it is good medicine to my spirit. As i listen to you I can hear the voices of all the elders singing praises to The Great Spirit and feel the fire of love, knowledge, and humility warm my heart...

[@gwendolynsinclair]

Beautifully stated💌I feel the same way. These teachings are gifts.

[@donaldwrightson]

I subbed just last week and am so enthralled by your videos. I have always had a deep and abiding respect for all Native Americans. According to my mother,I am 1/16th Sioux. I have never explored this,but one day I will. I have always felt that the indigenous peoples of this great land have been and always were treated poorly and taken advantage of by the government. I would love to see reparations made as you were the first true inhabitants of this land long before Europeans or anyone else set foot on this continent! I pray,one day full reparations will be made to all the proud Native American peoples!!! i love what you stand for and look forward to more of your beautiful and enlightening videos!!! God bless you!!!!

[@QuietRiverBear]

[@paulbucklebuckle4921]

Thanks again dear friend .

[@juliawitt3813]

It seems incredible that people do it understand the power and magic of reading. If you have the opportunity, learn....so that no man or woman has that power over you.

thank you wally!

[@sherylcomptonpeters8737]

Ancient war drums have begun The all mighty one has come He has stretched his mighty hand To remove the wicked from the land Who shall think to sit on his throne He has seen, it is known Long has been the trail of tears Many have walked this path years As many along the way have died The wicked shall not be justified May the mighty one cause the violence to cease That all nation's can live in peace 💞

[@lifearttimes]

This! 🙌🏽✨🙌🏽

[@cyankirkpatrick5194]

So true and it goes for other cultures as well. Especially if one culture has been hyped as peaceful and there not, but I don't mean the indigenous tribes I'm talking about someone else.

[@DrSoundZero]

I believe there is so much to be learned from the way Native Americans lived which would greatly benefit our physical and mental health while also benefiting our home, Mother Earth. I'm not saying to abandon scientific or technical progress or knowledge, but to vastly shift our focus and awareness to encompass a much more holistic approach that serves the greatest good for all things. I think pre-colonization Native Americans held a deeper understanding of this than any other people I know of.

[@joshuasasfire2759]

I get so much out of this channel! Thank you so much for these teachings!

[@rachelmoore4284]

Thank you.

[@jmdoula]

Privilege check: me asking for YEARS why we are still teaching cursive writing in schools not putting 2 and 2 together that the most important documents are handwritten. I'm embarrassed and humbled and thank you from my heart for this lesson

[@IceCreamCarla]

Our current government wants to dumb us down.

[@tashtastictash]

I agree! And when I began conscientiously writing in cursive again (for notes etc) I realized how clear and intentional your thoughts have to be to write in that manner. Some people also say that typing on a typewriter produces a similar effect of being more careful and intentional with what you are documenting ❤

[@user-br1jh6tb1b]

Excellent for being knowledgeable from reading

[@MeMusic247]

I Love the Cursive Writing Style ❤

Chi Miigwetch for sharing. I Love listening to your teachings. I resonate the way u were taught & I could hear the same Teachings & Tones learning of my Grandmothers. I could read and write cursive but the History books in the 70s I didn't Comprehend. I believe it's because it conflicted with my Grandmothers history. I remember it was Important to Honour Your Grandmothers Tongue. The French language taught to me in school was conflicting with the wY she taught us. I found that Very Frusterating in my school yrs. She also taught us Piano ... she Played by Ear not reading notes. I loved that about my Grandmother

It will never cease to astound me how people can look at examples of things like what happened to the american natives and then still think stuff like: "The government has our best interests in mind. They would never lie to us or go back on their word."

"People who don't read are no better off than those who can't read." Mark Twain Like Grandfather Wally says, it's also important what we read...and even more, what we believe.

[@carolthomas770]

You are so correct. Reading is a valuable skill. Key to opening the world of knowledge. Or correcting false history. Kids are so glued to social media. They can barely read and write yet still pass in public school. If I had kids, I'd homeschool them. Generation of fools who can't think or reason. Your wisdom is so generous, Grandfather!

[@rhondamc3642]

Wonderful wisdom.

[@junkettarp8942]
