This is wonderful seeing Africa still holding on to their traditions, and it's also sad that this culture is dying, Africa we need to know ourselves and stand with our culture because that's who we are, we are not Chinese nor European nor Americans we are Africans wonderfully created by God.

[@tirandaz7612]

You are an insane person praising a seven century old insane people. Is this they way you distinguish Africans from other peoples? By their lack of medicines, doctors, healthy foods? By their dependence on tourism? You are indeed living in your imagination.

The Dogon should consider using a few of the old abandoned homes for tourists. If they can keep the tourists from ruining their space, they could make a decent amount of foreign currency by having occasional tour groups spend the night.

[@plips71755]

They live much like my white family during the Great Depression times. Mine, white, were sharecroppers and the people who owned the land up north came to visit occasionally but the families raised cotton, tobacco, other crops, various animals to eat for food. There were many children - one side had 9 that lived and the other I believe 13. They canned on wood stove. Sometimes had water from the well, but usually not running water. You pulled a bucket and carried it to the house to bathe and cook with. Depending on weather, you cooked outside. The bathroom was a Johnny house. They bathed in the winter in the kitchen where it was warm or in the hall - depending on doing on what was going on. Smallest children took their bathes first with water and then on down the line til everyone was done.. Sometimes you took water out and put fresh in. They took their crops etc by horse and wagon. Mind you this was in 1929-1934 etc. I asked my great uncle born 1920 and my grandfather born 1905 how did they get through - but for them it was life as usual. They had logging to do, they had the dairy to work, horses were used in the fields and if you could they had I believe diesel maybe gas. My grandmother was born 1913 and their parents were born in late 1888’s.

Hey, I'm the one that offered to help you when you had made this same appeal under other videos. Those questions I asked even others said were valid questions and if you were in need that badly they said anyone would answer those in return for help. Others warned me not to give because this is a new despicable type of scam. If you're still behind three months rent I'm glad you either found a way to pay for some of your back rent leaving you still three months behind, or your landlord forgave you some months rent. And as i told you before, your landlord still has to pay his mortgage and taxes whether you pay or not. Please respond this time if this isn't a scam.

There's been a few small variations in each post and the names change but the main plea is the same. They never answer questions and I was actually really concerned and nice the first time I saw one of these and had gotten some cash to give one of my kids that have the cash app/ venmo stuff. Then I got warnings from people in the comments and my kids said that was too sketchy and reminded me of all the times I've been taken advantage of trying to help people. The plea disappeared a few minutes after my reply but I thought they just blocked me so I couldn't see it anymore, but from your reply maybe they deleted the plea. Now I'm really curious, can you see their original post or does this thread now just start with my reply to them? For some reason I always thought that if a post was deleted then the whole thread would disappear with it, like the original post being an anchor for the whole thread.

THE DOGON People are a very special people. It is shameful that they are inpoverished this way due to exploitation over hundreds of years in which their history has been stolen including being bought for a trifle of the actual worth when considered in world economics. there is no excuse for this. Now they are seeking loans from museums that these institutes know are unlikely to be repaid due to the economic poverty clearly imposed upon these people. these people are a significant example of human history and a direct connection to ancient Kemetic/Egyptian spiritual sciences likely dispersed during war conflicts in Egypt in which Egypts history was being stolen in conquest as well. When the riches of a land is “taken” to inflate the ego of the conquerors and the people are left desolate one has to ask who is really the barbaric monsters in this equation. Not a lot of this truth comes out in this documentary. It is rather glossed over carefully not to impliment the criminal treatment that has befallen these people, but for those of us paying attention we can clearly see the truth reading between the lines.

Why oh why these two aren't cultivating the land instead of looking for their ancestors artifacts to sale for almost nothing. These robers aren't going to pay the right price for these valuables. Not only they taking everything for almost a pittance but these people are losing their culture, their selves that why you hear them becoming: Muslim or Christian they need ro keep their culture not the outsiders that will bring nothing but division and destroy them in the process. I hope they can find someone to make them see that before it's to late.

Tracks you should hire some of the village people to speak and broadcast, it's unnerving hearing an old European voice... sorry

The priest doesn’t look too happy about his new status, maybe because his likely to die if he fails. Bring rain, bring harvest, bring prosperity, bring tourists, no pressure there 😅😅

white boys,, hard to judge? then dont, accept the fact that in different places things ARE different, not right, not or wrong, just the way it is for that place. dogon,s,, it is very possible that your ancestors knew things you have lost. seek their knowledge, be the Dogon you once were.

If all the billionaires watch this video they would not donate. That’s why God said this… Matthew 19:24 KJV 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 5:3-11 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

What leaves barks and plants can be picked dried for dietary supplements? Unrealized potential??? More work also more benefit? Educational possibilities? Reading materials provided. Small pamphlets booklets??

You are beautiful!

Looking as this one encouraging the others to sale their artifacts because they are hungry but not suggesting to work the land because he as his fair cher as a middle man. The second deal is worse because he knows the people usually can't pay back and already going to keep the artifact. Rackateer working in the interest of the outsiders, Really sad .
