Villagers' Hilarious Reactions to Mesmerizing Powwow Jingle Dress Dance! Tribal people try

[@DreamWalkingAngel]

The Jingle Dress design was given in a dream. So was this dance. It is for healing the sick. Prayers for the sick and made during the dance. Fans are also called prayer fans. Waving them over a sick person while praying for them also is believed to bring healing.

[@mikehoward8201]

I am glad to read this explanation! Thank you.

[@AdrianbCozad]

1950s:Many of us children were saved by our elders' songs and dances,sick and like when I heard music,children laughing,playing,then wide awake suddenly,I sat upright only to be laid back down after they stopped singing.😇

[@jefferykeown8834]

India just landed on the moon. That would make a great reaction video, I think.

[@chefnedarque]

Yes!!🎉🌝

[@ShilohSmith]

On the South side too, that’s literally NEVER been done before. They made history there should 100% be a video on it

[@gojiberry7201]

I do some sewing and crafting, and I cannot imagine the time and talent it takes to make these beautiful dresses! I'm so glad they enjoyed this!

[@theresashelton7063]

They should react to the story of the jingle dress dance that came about. The dance is a healing dance. It's said to heal the earth and people

[@suddenrushsarge]

Ojibwe here..... and I LOVE how psyched up they are. Hell yes pump your fists and sing along I love it! I get just as pumped up!

[@GrandmaLoves2Scuba]

In person the sound of all the bells is loud, and mesmerizing.

[@stephaniemccollum8019]

I love to see how these kind people appreciate seeing different cultures clothes, dances,traditions, etc. thumbs up! Please keep the videos coming!

[@lesliedaubert1411]

I go to pow wows in Pennsylvania and have been to one in Michigan and they have never been competitions. It's a gathering in celebration. Everyone is equal.

[@JamesLechon]

Look at Grandfather! He enjoyed ! Thank you for the beautiful song at the end !❤

[@mseddie]

The old guy is having so much fun!😂

[@kugelkopf2987]

2:59 ... this song goes to the landing on the moon! Congratulations!

[@indianlayne]

The jingles are actually cones. They were originally from snuff can lids, but you can get them pre-made in adult and child sizes. My pow wow is coming up. Can't wait.

[@CalmBrook]

Welcome back Sarru❤

[@tomray8765]

The contest IS primarily about their clothing--- Babu gets it.

[@58jennypenny]

a reaction to the men dancing would be good, I've seen them, amazing.

[@monicapdx]

Wonderful! Those drums are mesmerizing. I love it when the guys get to see Native American videos. They have the best reactions to them. They're enthralled by everything. Love Babu's comment about 10 out of 10 for everyone. 😄 They all were certainly very skilled. And those costumes take ages to make. Headdresses, eagle feather fans, dresses, moccasins - you can't just pick up an authentic one of any of those at a store. Oh, while I was looking them up, I found that the dance is a healing dance. The idea for the dress and dance is supposed to have come from recurring dreams to one ofthe holy men of a tribe. Two different tribes have the story; in one, it was the man's daughter who was ill; in another, his grandaughter. The women made the dresses and performed the dance, and the girl was healed. That's the brief Wikipedia version. I'm not Native American, and haven't done any serious studying.

[@Cassxowary]

I wouldn’t call it the best reactions, I didn’t even start watching yet and they’re already being offensive with calling it hilarious in the title and Babu making monkey-like sounds over their chanting in their language… that’s just insulting…

[@monicapdx]

@@Cassxowary Well, I don't know about the hilarious; that sounds like an Engrish sort of goof a non-nativespeaker would make, thinking he was expressing it as an intense reaction. Just got the wrong word. As to Babu joining in, are you so jaded that you can't see when someone is excited enough they're trying to join the performance they're watching? Feeling it so much they want to participate? Or have you never sung along, stood up and danced, swayed rhythmically, or even merely tapped a toe at a live concert? If you haven't, I feel sorry for you. Babu was simply so moved he had to try and join in. He doesn't know the style; of course he sounded a bit odd. Give him a few days listening to NA drumsong, he'd fit right in. He's a musician, for ghu's sake. They sing along and constantly learn new styles. The Native Americans would have felt honored he wanted to sing like they do.

[@Jesussayspayattention]

Each lady jingle dress dancer's regalia is designed by each lady, many are from the same Tribe.

[@stephaniemccollum8019]

I enjoy these kind people watching and learning different things they have never heard of before. Thumbs up! Please keep the videos coming!

[@loisrogers9042]

Babu, the singers aren't just making noise, they're singing a song😊

[@mikehoward8201]

In their native language!

[@yeetman4953]

​@@mikehoward8201actually no, ive heard when they sing they dont actually have any lyrics.

[@francescaferriani4185]

Ehii, Sarru!! I'm so happy to see you again, sweet boy!❤

[@jayeharrison4533]

I love the song at the end ❤

[@Ellen-hs7zb]

I wish we could hear the jingling!

[@Wlkn2025]

The Jingle is most definitely one of my favorite dances. Now I wonder, how they will react to to the American Bandstand dances. Especially our Uncle Babu Bhai since music snd dance are his great passions.

[@ll7868]

There is no way you can let them go another day without reacting to various news agencies around the world announcing India's moon landing. Canada, BBC, France, Australia, USA, UK, literally the entire world is talking about India being the first country to send a lander to the lunar South Pole without crashing.

[@dmschoice2571]

An interesting and beautiful dance that we could enjoy together with the guys. I wish they would react to a Schuhplattler some day :D Maybe search for the Hupfau - that one is particularly spectacular

[@Cassxowary]

Yess! I ask for that sometimes too so hope they do it soon!

[@josephdonais4778]

I am happy to find North American Native dance so well received. Sadly, it is not appreciated by most of this continent's population.

[@indigenousqueen1758]

Agreed, so many people love to disrespect my culture and mock my culture as well especially the sacred of MMIW (Missing Murdered Indigenous women) we have been mocked so many ways and times and we even have the people in the African American community trying to steal out culture and claim that they are the aboriginal to the Native American land, I’m not sure how long my native brothers and sisters are going to put up with it but thank you for appreciating me and my family and my people and my native people culture and our land

[@magnoliahernandez2322]

I love it and Respect It. I am indigenous from the Otomí Nation in Central Mexico. My family and I love going to pow wow whenever possible. However, you are right, This continent most People do not value these amazing cultures

[@shanrogers6673]

They're dancing a little different from each other, on the second song, because some of them dance on their tippy toes the entire song and others dance on their heels. Those dresses are also about 30-40 lbs., depending on how many jingles you can put on the dress and still be able to dance. My girls ran, jump rope, lifted weights, just so they could dance on their toes for a 3-minute song.

[@1dK_L1fE]

I was wondering if they can watch the fancy shawls one they are beautiful like this one

[@neverettebrakensiek8771]

Wish we could hear the bells on their dresses

[@PatiAnn]

Thank you guys .... Lord knows this nation has little respect for such tradition.... Shukria n Tasha Kur

[@bjdefilippo447]

I am glad that they apprecviate the beauty and athleticism of the dancers, but it would be better if you could add some context by giving them an explanation of how the dresses come to be made, and what the dance means. The cultural relevance is important.

[@Blade247]

There was a show called In Living Color... in addition to the great comedy there was a group of dancers called The Fly Girls... they were kinda dancing like these Indian girls.. very awesome !

[@DreamsTwice01]

REQUEST: Villagers react to spoilt brats compilation.

[@janetschmitt6760]

Native American dance is patterned after the movement of birds. The use of feathers in native ceremonial dress helps give the impression of feeding birds.

[@Cassxowary]

They earn the feathers one at a time

[@bello5456]

Some dances are like woman’s fancy and men’s fancy but the others have deeper meaning😊

[@jaredf6205]

Do they know that Native Americans are often referred to as Indians because of an old language mixup? Kinda interesting.

[@OO-fm3sw]

Old language mixup? You mean the invaders were trying to land in India and instead ended up in North America? And that's why Native Americans are sometimes referred to as Indians?

[@Cassxowary]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@OO-fm3swexactly…and they’re still referred to as Indians by some particularly dumb people…

[@ll7868]

Someone should send these fellas some First Nations ribbon shirts, women wear ribbon skirts, they're a symbol of heritage, pride, resilience, survival, and honor. They can be worn as a way for Indigenous people to represent themselves, their communities, or their individuality. Non-indigenous people can wear them as long as protocol and honour of the shirts/skirts are followed, they're like a Kurta or that red traditional one Raeen made for Badshah. Non-indiginous people should NOT wear Regalia though, headdresses and whatnot, you have to be First Nations to earn those, like belts in martial arts. I have one, it's turquoise blue with red, orange and white ribbons horizontally across the chest and a black bison outline over a chevron motif that matches the ribbon colours on the back shoulders. There's a native drum circle in the park right outside my apartment windows, they have pow wows there all the time so I can put on my ribbon shirt and hang out.

[@ll7868]

Most of us First Nations don't like being called Indians, most of us have never even been to India. We prefer indigenous or native over Indian. We like your food though, curry chicken pizza is popular in Canada, we can put anything on pizza, who do you think came up with the pineapple thing?

[@Cassxowary]

Exactly and well said, and First Nations too, and it’s also not funny let alone hilarious… and yes, that’s sad and ironic too…

[@chancerystone4086]

@@Cassxowary So you didn't find it funny. Neither did I, but that doesn't mean it's offensive. Get a grip on your perspective and pay attention to who these men ARE and how they live.

[@rebeccasunnybrook3709]

We love Babu I think we'll all agree but I was very interested in listening to the singing/chanting and drumming of the Native Americans in the video. I know he loves music and this is supposed to be their natural reaction but I found it irritating trying to hear above his off beat clapping and noises. I wish it had been explained to him that they aren't grunting in the video, the sounds they're making are their custom and an important part of their culture that should be respected. He may not realize when he does this throughout many of these videos he's inadvertently disrespecting them. I think if someone took the time to explain it he might tone it down a bit. He wasn't nonstop talking, clapping and singing for a while when he began on the channel. I'm starting to think someone told him he had to liven up and he took it to the extreme.

[@TheoMich-rn9xw]

Ommanipadmehum ask them watch movie like smoke signels

[@samfulford1964]

American "Indians"... Also check Kamala Harris' story! Maybe Vivek Ranadive...India-USA stories

[@Cassxowary]

Can you please have some respect and educate yourself and them, I didn’t even start the video yet and there’s already an offensive comment in the title (calling it hilarious) and seeing about Babu making monkey-like noises over the chanting in their language… that’s just disrespectful and offencive…

[@mm37too]

...as if you are respectful and non-offensive..such a joke.

[@chancerystone4086]

Babu is certainly annoying with his endless yelling through this, but he is never intentionally disrespectful or offensive. And you must know that, if you regularly watch their videos, so accusing him of this is patently not true. He's an ignorant, uneducated old man, you can't expect him to have an education in political correctness.

[@smorlan5828]

NOPE he wasn't makin monkey noises he was just in the moment TRYIN to sing but he so does NOT know our language so get over yourself

[@mariaelenagil1934]

you need to look up Qawali to understand - he wasn't making fun of the singing, he was resonating with its sacredness

[@PrimalPrideHomestead]

Him chanting along making monkey sounds is offensive not supportive. Powwow singing is our language and is sacred. Its not just noises and screaming.

[@Cassxowary]

Agreed and it’s not hilarious either… and monkey sounds either aren’t noises and screaming, it’s verbal expression and communication which they don’t need for each other most of the time…

[@saber1able]

When I watch this video, I see three uneducated tribal men who do not understand English or native American languages and do not understand either culture. Despite this, they still try to interact with what they are seeing (which may be a part of their culture), while offering compliments and expressing their enjoyment throughout the entire video. I did not get a sense of sarcasm or notice them intentionally insulting anyone, quite the opposite really. I find it interesting that you choose to see something entirely different...

[@ssshadowwolf6762]

How are they supposed to know this ? A gentle bit of info would be better absorbed . My kids grew up in the arena . They understood that others didn’t know the traditions. Btw -people in and from india LOVE to sing and dance and if they feel something they join right in . No offense was meant .

[@paulmason6474]

I think they would be mortified if they thought they had caused offence. They could react when they hear their own music. I know they love drums. Do give them the benefit of the doubt❤

[@chancerystone4086]

It's annoying, yes, but Babu meant no offence by it. He does it out of ignorance. These are uneducated illiterate men from a third world country. What are you expecting of them? They are not NY hipsters with a full PC education.
