  • Keep your traditions, they are your Nation

  • the apache left the navajo

  • Hahah nahh not even..that's why were the bigger tribe haha and you all are divided n tiny groups!

  • @tachinii4life The Apache brought fear to the white man, while ihe Navajo were subjated. i am half Dine and half Mescalero but both tribes have good things about them. Neither is superior to the other. We are alll one.

  • This wasn't boring this is awsum I wann learn more bout apache culture

  • sorry, but this was boring.

  • have heard similar, but much more interesting to watch

  • This is my aunt the godmother. I remember this ceremony, it rained the first two days. It meant the girl is pure the way her feather on her head stands straight up is very rare, and it stood straight through out the whole ceremony. It means that the feather is happy and the girl is pure.

  • Navajo nd apache philosophy is da same..there's a story about how we were one tribe at one time but conflict happened and yall split on us lol

  • laugh out loud... or you could say you split on us!!! ha ha ha!!

  • im navajo and my ceremony was the same sorta.. but i had to run instead fo dance.. and stay up all nite on the last day

  • actually she does the same thing. but she doesnt run as long as the navajos run, she dances all day, and runs a short distance on the field then back~ but man its an all day thing, n its hot!

  • I had hoped to hear the music and song of the ancestors, but that was not to be in this video. I was forced to turn it off...

  • well its not for everyone, everything is always done the same way and i changed it a bit... but the culture is in the picture!

  • the girl is beautiful and is doing fine, so are the women. too bad for all the iron horses and all the men dressed as cowboys or rappers. be proud of your heritage, speak your language and wear you hair your ancestor's way. true apaches rule.

  • Very beautiful. I hope you keep it yours and pure...

  • this was pretty awsome

  • If your APACHE then you should know that you shouldnt record this!!!

  • i am apache, and if other apaches were apache then they shouldn't be drunk and drinking at this ceremony!

  • @emagdnim88 In San Carlos its against the law to drink at or be drunk at or disturbing this ceremony.

  • im Navajo, and the way he spoke he reminds me of my grandfathers and uncles when they used to talk to us. brought tears to my eyes,,, and i like the part where he said "we should pray and say thank you..."

  • if u have a part 2 of this then u shuld reeli putt it upp cuz im actually a girl that dances in the ceremony and i just wanna remember the nite so if theres another part then plz put it on

    =Daffy

  • Thank you for posting this video. As a proud apache who is far from home. This brought tears to my eyes. I was overwhelmed with longing to be apart of something as beautiful and meaningful as this. I miss my Culture and my family. I miss the sights and the smells that entail this experience. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

  • It's not about the puberty really, it's all about the cane. The ceremony is about the cane that she is given. It is a blessing for her that she may be able to use the cane when she is old. It is blessing her that she will have a long and prosperous life. That is what the Apache sunrise dance is about. Us Apaches look forward to old age. We see it as a gift.

  • yeah i got almost the same speech during mine
