Seminole secret

[MsKittenz1]

I don't know this lady but I don't understand ppl calling her a sellout, she seems to want the best for her ppl. A sellout doesn't care about anything except themselves. She's still an Indian & she just wants her race to prosper.

[LucretziaVampyre]

even the vikings came before columbus, but they turned around and went back home because they ran out of resources.

[FuckObama2010]

I heard Florida actually belonged to Tainos, and Seminoles were really from Georgia and re-settled in Florida...

[myhookerstampon]

no one would give two shits about who is how much seminole if they didnt have casinos and f*** the oklahoma seminoles they are the ones who got tricked into taking that long walk

[DThor53]

I have two 2nd cousins who are 1/2 seminole1/2 english.I've never met them.But wish I could.

[NWOrDREGS]

I agree. Anyone puts their mind to the task? Will accomplish that task. Peace!

[Afrocentric85]

Go girl so happy for you.

[pigeonshyt]

The original seminoles were black and brown. it is some of these so-called crakas indians running around here disrespecting the true legacy of our people. I am cherokee and seminole and possibly a descendant of oceola. it sickens me to see some of these lightskinned indians kissing white peoples asses just to be accepted by them if our ancestors who fought to keep these people from amongst us were here they would be angry as hell!! shout out to geronimo, oceola sittingbull never forget my peopl

[4Koda]

Im proud to be cherokee and seminole =)

[Mocha69A]

The Seminoles where led by black men. they where the main resistance. Its is the true and untld storey of the Gullah wars.

[gingercatz]

@Mocha69A in your dreams ...don't be trying to steal our thunder!

[spiritwolf50]

@gingercatz Steal what thunder. the truth is the truth

[TheNativeHistorian]

@spiritwolf50 Africans came in the Americas by slavery...There were no Africans in the Americas before 1492...I got over whelming evidence that says you are wrong.

[KingH5X]

@spiritwolf50 AUTHOR: Ivan Van Sertima - THEY CAME BEFORE COLUMBUS

[nativemrv19722]

Great message!

[nativemrv19722]

Seminoles yes they said no! Not going any where.! Some of the Cherokee did that but they didn't fight at the time of Trail of Tears. Some were moved off but some stayed in NC! I am decended of some of them.

[Rachulie]

im not even indian. GET JACKSON OFF THE $20 BILL! he was a genocidal terrorist! it's not 'extreme' or anything to say get him off the bill!

[sem100brf]

Despite how some people act, we are all one. It is the competition for limited resources that has prompted some people to lose their focus.

[mcusa77]

College? Casinos??? HOW ABOUT LETS GO BACK TO THE GOOD LIFE,THE HUT.

[dannojmanno]

@mcusa77 You can only live in the past for so long brother. I don't embrace the saldu ways, but I'm thankful I furthered my education to help my clan.

[mcusa77]

@dannojmanno Peace, it could be that i am living in the pat,present and soon to be future for everyone. The industrial age will end, it was but a speck in time. Be well.

[ThawadaYashayah]

As part Black Foot Indian, I would have to say this video is a bunch of stupidity. This is foolish propaganda in order to make Indians suceptible to the wickedness of the New Roman Empire. Indians are graceful, honorable and strong people without submitting to the European way of life. Infact I've found that Indians come from the twelve tribes of the ancient Hebrews. With that understanding i've found that The Most High God will destroy this current empire of unrightousness and clamity....

[mcusa77]

@ThawadaYashayah Peace, not all are from the Hebrews, some, Be well.

[IndianaTruth12]

Sell out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why r other Indian's jealous of her she should b an inspiration stop hating damn

[SlashGashTerrorCreww]

@melvin1123 are you fucking kidding me an inspiration to go to the strip club

[wontonga]

This is a very good message. Be positive. Earn an education. Grow and make the Tribe strong.

[MattyTheMole]

but fear not my Native Brothers, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers, Grandmothers, and Grandfathers. The prophecy of the Ghost Dance is gradually moving towards our remaining existance. Do not leave your rez! because when it all goes down, AND IT WILL, each other is all we are going to have. All these New Yorks, Los Angeles and Miami's will be no more and the lust for false idolentry, materials, wealth, power and the brutal sacrifice it has caused will wither like the leaves of the northeastern fall.

[MattyTheMole]

As an Apache descendant, this is all propagahnda for all native people to fall and fail into. This women is killing herself and her people by submitting to the ways of a corrupted so called peaceful society. What she does not know is Native people understand they are not meant for this modern social way of life that looks glorious on the outside but kills on the inside for all Native Americans have hearts that feel. Hearts that know something is not right. Something dangerous and unfamiliar.....

[SupraSovereign]

The story is about to go world wide about the thievery, the lies and dishonerable actions toward innocent white people who pledged their time, their money, their sacred honor to help the native peoples. Shame!

[thespeez]

I think it's cool that the Seminoles (and other American aboriginals) are involved in entertainment, but how about manufacturing? I'd sure as hell buy something made by one of our countrymen and especially by our aboriginals (whether or not it was from a reservation)! It sure as hell beats buying s#*t made in communist friggin' China or some other underdeveloped country!

[RaDrizzo06]

What about the Black Seminoles tha Red comes where black

[Khoybert]

Mrrogue I am Seminole and if I go to college I will be the first in my family and most Seminoles don't have an education and get in trouble a lot

@wolvenancestry992 If you hate another race then you are concquered by them. I don't hate any races, just individuals.

[hayyalife]

Not a good idea to follow the path and find our sense of accomplishment through the system of an oppressor. Other than that I love her motivational spirit!

The system is pretty much set up to erase your identity. WORD OF CAUTION: If you follow the path of the oppressor for whatever reason, be strong and go in with your eyes OPEN!

[LiLMiSSnDn]

@RATHAHONNI Not that it's any of your business , but yes she did find a Native partner. She is my stepmother and my father is half native and half Mexican , Paula is a wonderful role model for me and all my siblings and all other Native children everywhere.

[knowledgeiswhatsup]

@LiLMiSSnDn: Mexicans are natives...

[SnowBoardNative]

Ahéhee' Let's work hard Natives!

[strictlyformypeople]

It's amazing to me that ANY Native wants ANYTHING to do with the White Man's system. I don't understand any Native trying to work WITH it. By the way, what they want is for more Natives to LEAVE tribal lands. Interesting how she's telling folks to leave. Whatever

[TheNativeHistorian]

@strictlyformypeople 70% of the Native Population live in the cities.

[AhshMega]

The Seminoles are the tribe of Reuben. Israelites. The firstborn of Jacob.

[runingblackbear]

[mrrogue72]

Why get a college education when I get thousands of dollars a month for sitting on my ass. Tell Philmon I said whats up. The only reason you're in movies cause you got ALOT of MONEY>

[TheNativeHistorian]

@mrrogue72 Stereotypes stereotypes stereotypes

[ewalk4959]

A great video for any group of teenagers.

[KingFrid]

Well spoken !!!

[artificialtribe666]

If this woman lived in poverty she would know the struggles..only a few tribes have the benefits from casino's,most indians are still stuck on reservations..after 120 years theres still reservations,so theres many limitations for natives,only a select few,like this woman can enjoy the benefits,when the goverment ends reservation life,then the natives will have no limitations

[Eagle027]

@artificialtribe666 Solution is simple, obey the US Constitution and adhere to the treaties.

[TheNativeHistorian]

@artificialtribe666 "Native Americans are the second weathiest minority" < most of this isn't credited to "Casinos"....We Natives are on the rise...We are also the fastest growing population in the World...Our culture is being restored...We are not a dying race.

[vidPRODUCER1]

@TheNativeHistorian then you need to spend a year at pine ridge or go live with the navaho who live on radio active ground. when john Mcain relocated the navaho to different lands so he could bring in the minning companies and take navaho coal, 25 precent of those people died from radiation sickness. so go live on the rez before you talk about how rich we are.

[TheNativeHistorian]

@vidPRODUCER1 It is spelled "Navajo" our true Tribal Name is Dine', Navajo is a spanish name...You need to realize that we are not a dying race, do you understand...We will begin to prosper on our own terms...We need to work at it and build a economy and social society that is opropiate for our culture...Many Natives are working hard to better them selves...It's not about being rich, it's about being self sufficient...I also believe in finding justice for all Native People from the Government.

[ashiinsane90]

@TheNativeHistorian I love u all naturals, all the way from Egypt u see how powerfull u ppl are? ppl from all over the world loves u all.. stay strong brother u will have ur rights one day!

[phunkshyt]

thank you gorgeous for the words of encouragement !!

[TheCajunjason]

you guys hire the worst managers of the casino business. why don't you hire better managers and treat your employees better not like numbers. great message to bad you have no idea how your own casino works.

[Erika445566]

Black seminoles were runaway and escaped slaves.

[rhibac]

@Erika445566

so in essence they arent real natives

[hebraeicknight]

How about you telling the Red Seminoles in Oklahoma , that we too the Black Seminoles are part of that unconguered legacy! This is appalling how a few Red Seminoles are practicing Jim Crow Era discrimination against the us Black Seminoles because of Greed! I believe the majority of us just want to continue to be recognized as Seminoles and are not after the money! There was at time in the not to distant past that this would not have been a problem at all. We too are unconquered Seminoles!

[hwiseman1]

@hebraeicknight Honestly, if you are Seminole, why not the money? It is what is owed based upon the treaties. That's the first charge people make against Black Indians..."they are after the money." What money? But even though, if they are of the tribe and are documented, then they also deserve it. Stand proud!

[melvin1123]

@hebraeicknight what i have noticed in my time black people are quick to say say im part indian part jap part white part what ever race, and even when you go to there house you see there house decorated with that stuff but the truth is those other races dont give 2 fucks about you as far as the are concerned you are black and they dont want 2 be seen with they look at you the same way a white man look at you and what funny the white man look at them as if there shit so my black people fuck it

[TubaGlider2]

@stylgiannoutsos wtf greek ancestry? that doesnt make any sense. native americans are asians.

[artruh]

@TubaGlider2 they were not only asian. they have done dna tests and found more than asian. they found negroid, mongolian, etc.... in most.

[PeacefullNative]

n remember to help others after you helped yourself :) Este Cate + Este Cate = ....Este Cate. Hvtke ...Lvste no good ...no need to water yourself down ..ya cant be just ndn in your heart lol as u may hear so much outside of Florida.

[wolvenancestry992]

@DaddyWarbucks452 where u from man?

[glrodriguez73]

Good on ya Girl!!.....ONE of the many things I try and teach my son is to always be proud of where you and your family has come from and never stop learning!!

[shadowgirl9891]

The Bell Witch is a spirit that tormented a family in Tennessee during the 1800s. Andrew Jackson knew the Bell family, because a couple of the sons were one of his troops. He went out to visit them, but something happened to one of the wheels. It took them some effort to get it working and it only happened after they heard the old spirit's voice. They arrived at the house, but they were tormented throughout the night by the spirit and they left the next morning.

[sem100brf]

Long live the undefeated Seminoles! Osceola's spirit lives on! Mitakuye Oyasin!

[shadowgirl9891]

Yeah, the Bell Witch should have ripped Andrew Jackson apart. All it do was torment him.

[sem100brf]

@shadowgirl9891 Who is the bell witch?

[ruapraia]

Paula you rock ! I am a Black American, and i know what you mean, i hear you.

Lets make sure our people stay tight, Who knows we might need each other again someday.

[naskapi1972]

my grandfather never sign a treaty and we were never conquered. .

[MrHumanComputer]

@naskapi1972 Thath's true, the only way the devils could get Florida was by buying it and lying to the people.

[FUwogs]

inDumb with a beaner last name

[sidewinder169]

Paula, i agree with your intent, however, a degree? I say learn the truth, fight to rewrite his story, and call it what it is...GENOCIDE...or white supremacy take your pick the results will be the same until...all his lies are exposed...casinos are just pacifiers. it sounds good to beat the drum, come join us, be part of the dream...that's how they use us....starve your ass, then throw you a crumb, and you better be grateful..no thanks 

[SwordOfSimeon]

@sidewinder169 ...thats called Stockholm Syndrome what most Negroes,Latinos and our Native American brothers have.....

[9lifepath]

Former Port Richey Resident, love you Paula what a great video, I miss canoeing on the Gulf for Sea Trout, Florida is a natural wonder like no other!

[bigwaterhunter]

Been around the tribe all of my life. Because of that I see the stuggles of your tribe, it's leadership and your people have faced. I also get the pleasure of seeing the strength with in the tribal members, such as yourself, rise up and say "ENOUGH!".

You are a leader and already wise in your age. People like you are who our young tribal friends should idolize to be like. Keep up the fight.

Sho-ba-nish

[Shinx160]

I'm Seminole and this video speaks to me. Really great video

[captainJmJ]

My fathers mother was Seminole.Her father was Seminole.She told me a small history of how he was kidnapped by the Spanish.How do I learn more?

[NDNWatch]

The problem is that the people who defended the rights of the Seminoles are dead and the those who survived them sold themselves and future generations in an insidious way. It's unfortunate that the younger generations are feeling the result of such "radical departure" from breathmaker. Now it's time to rely on uncle international banking extremists and the fake money it prints to gain the illusion of "success."

[NDNWatch]

Can you spell Conquered?

[NDNWatch]

uhhhh....I think conquered is in the eye of the beholder. chuckles

[NDNWatch]

I like the way she says, "blow"

[sywesley]

I love you message. It speaks to all. I am an older person. Seeing the times where change forever. Prosparity starts one family at a time. One soul at a time. Thank you for speaking up........

[glencoe6305]

Paula is beautiful !

[nativemrv19722]

Long live the Seminoles! Some of my tribe that i am related to didn't move either the Cherokee, in North Carolina.

[jhoso891]

ethnic minorities must be saved from extinction! this case we speak about Native America (Native American, Apache, Cheyenne, Mapuche .....)

Governments must foster development. Only in this way, the original breed may have a chance to survive! We can not allow this noble breed

extinguished! W Red Power movement, W NOBLE native people, I love red leather. all tribes from the north to the south of the continent all together. against extinction

[mooremuffin6]

Thankyou so much Paula! This made me cry!

[MyTbradley]

I went to school with the Huff boys that lived on the seminole Rez in okeechobee florida. They were pretty cool, I also remember one of the brothers (sam huff) died of heart failure during our school year.Sometimes a pile of us would go hang out on the rez and party. Some fond memories

[UnakaWaholi]

Long live the unconquered Seminoles!

[jus1taj]

Thank you Paula! It's true, we are the only ones holding us back. It's hard to live your dreams but it's so much fun too!

[MrTeaparties]

Give Obama a call he might care about this shit

[1Siriusmind]

WAKE UP PEOPLE.....

Native Americans have problems because they have been spiritual conquered

This documentary fails to mention the fact that the Roman Catholic agents the Jesuits have done far more damage then any Gun or U.S. general could have by placing psychologal chains on people with science, religion etc etc

[jefe86040]

honestly, on a personal level, we shound try to help our own. not show them what two or three of them wud be lucky to experience.not everyone can go to NYU. cant fix the different tribes problems from one video. have to make an effort. not through youtube. never seen u around this rez. but hollywood dont come around here.

[JennerPomo]

Right on but some just can not but those who can right on but I am a Sci and I can only work for a king a preident, and like Eduson and the light bulb and the oil company he is just lukyy he got some ont=e to pay the bills

[76cuzcatleco]

nice video, well produced, thank you!

[redhawknflite]

Thank you so much for expressing what so many of our people need to hear. I wish that your voice could be heard by all young and old. You have shown in less than 5 mins. what some of our children have not heard over a life time. Bless you for being our angle and for reaching out to all of us. You are a voice that sings hope to our future.

[wolvenancestry992]

FUCK ANDREW JACKSON lol

[MrIBLEEDCRIMSON]

@wolvenancestry992 YES FUCK HIM! I AM OKLAHOMA CHOCTAW AND THE CHOCTAWS WERE THE FIRST NATION TO WALK THE TRAIL OF TEARS. THE REST WERE REMOVED AFTERWARDS, ANYWAYS FUCK ANDREW JACKSON AND NATIVE PRIDE TILL THE DAY I DIE!

[DaddyWarbucks452]

@wolvenancestry992 Yeh I know f-ing Injun hating cracker.

[ReneeNme]

@wolvenancestry992 Andrew Jackson got his ass kicked in regards to the Seminole. As far as Paula is concerned though ? She acts like a broad that is only out to promote herself.

[Fastfeetsam]

Good Video, the only thing is for me is most of the members don't speak the language and lost there culture. When you lose that, then you are concoured.

[jkmehoff]

The Seminole Tribe of Florida

 Bought the Entire Hard Rock

[v7nf]

good thing you guys fought off them hairdoos

[IMDETACHT]

Love the vid!!!

You're totally right except for the unconcoured part. If your tribe as well as my tribe, were unconcoured, we would not be speaking english.

[meechamaka411]

That's not being conqueror'd...that's being able to adapt to the times, 'n being universal!!!

[duvalmenina]

[Unpromoted]

Wow this is powerful.

Paula reminds me of Waneek Horn Miller, the Mohawk grrl who didn't quite win the Olympics but she got there. Man, now I'm getting teary eyed a little too. It wasn't so much that she got there it was what she gave back and stuff.

Yeah.

[Nicewarmandcozee]

Thank you for the video my Seminole sister. Coming from your sister of the Muscogee Creek/Choctaw tribe.

[seminolewar]

Excellent video Paula, keep it up!
