[BeatleLover0437]

[NorCalHyphyWifey]

wow.this waz a really kool video.

[lordofwrath88]

How awesome,  so many native nation's cultures honored at the Olympics for the WHOLE WORLD to see!

[AcousticalThoughts]

this is just simply amazing...

[aba2185]

i know the person at 2:20

[DineHooper]

Responding to the comment that they were sad and upset that these dances were not performed on Native Land....

For the Navajo it is our land. This land particularly has many Navajo remains resting on it from travels a long time ago. I was there as a representative for the Navajo Nation, this was our same concern. But the answer is simple, it is our land and it's ok. The Ribbon Dancers and Yeibichei Dancers would have otherwise NOT been ALLOWED to perform it at the Olympic Opening Ceremonies.

[Jmb22083]

I love my beautiful Native people!

[nefaria04]

Omg! This is too darn beautifull! If only we were there to actually see it! I can't believe i did not know about this... OMG!

[crazymonkeyballer]

this was cool! navajo was the only language that sounded different from the others. it was smoothe and pretty! yay jhonny navajos!!

[54spiritedwill54]

This is the best thing I have ever seen the u.s. do for us.

[ccheng21]

I have always been in awe of the sheer beauty and wonder of the First Nations people, the true first Americans and Canadians.

We don't do enough to respect their cultures today, but at Salt Lake City they were honored, and in Vancouver 2010, they will be honored as well.

[papillonaquatique]

At 2:50 which nation speaking is that?

[ndnRUPAUL]

Ute nation

[eponnee]

Wonderful native peoples , too bad they don't get better respect from most Americans who took their land from them!

[papillonaquatique]

Sacajawea is a name that many people can not pronounce properly because they are not native speakers.He was not trying to be rude at all.Just a simple mistake.

All of these languages together are beautiful!

[chief85000]

im a shoban and i thought that was cool

[COUCHmade]

At 0:40, did he say Sakaguweeya? ROFLZ! It's Sacajawea, idiot. Where the hell does he get the 'g' in there?

[teddybears1232001]

He was probably told to say it that way because that is how a lot of native americans say it...

[COUCHmade]

I'm Native American and I sure as hell don't say it like that. I never even heard of it like that before till now. I just freaked at it. Well, whatever, you're probably right. He probably thinks that that is the right way of saying it.

[teddybears1232001]

IDK...I'm native too and I have some family up in Fort Hall and they're Sho-Ban and that's how the old ones say it even though they have a totally different name for Sacajawea.

[COUCHmade]

Oh well. It just sounds funny to me. :)

[n8ivechik69]

The Paiutes are in the south and south eastern central area, like Cedar City. I am a Paiute from the western border of Nevada and eastern California and have not gone to that area...yet.

[mistressHAZEL660]

@muffles12 Cedar Richfield Sham (Saint George Ut) and Kanosh

[muffles12]

[Ahwahneechee]

We had several. Chief Winnemucca, Sarah Winnemucca, Chief Tenaya of Yosemite, Numaga, Ohcio, Polina, Wovoka, just to name a few.

[NavajoBlood]

This is a disgrace they should do this on native land not in front of a lot of white people this makes me mad inside

[smiles809]

why does it make you mad inside

[muffles12]

[Ahwahneechee]

See my profile. I am a Paiute.

[muffles12]

[Ahwahneechee]

4 out of 5 tribes speak a similar dialect. Dine or Navajo is totally different.

[sixnaybitz]
