Thank You for sharing .I feel bad for the people who feel the need to try and upset you with their OPINIONS about filming. You should be proud, and I hope you and your family live long loving lives.
@smivloc I'm not offended. If they want to be mad, that's their issue. If they want to complain, they can post their complaints on every.single.video on youtube. So far nothing. I just delete the complaining comments anyway so it doesn't really bother me :)
If your not Hopi don't respond to this video as if you know what our culture is. Don't tell us what is sacred and what is not. If you "heard" something chances are it's wrong. We Hopi know our customs and what's appropriate and what's not.
@menomz17 usually it means the Kachina Dances and other dances like snake, basket, and flute dance... social dances like this are ok...but i only film if my family is taking part!!!!
FACT: It maybe a social dance but cameras are still a no no, as well as telling ppl if you are taking part, its a shame how who ever recorded this is trying to basterdize the Hopi culture. i say this out of great respest for the Hopi ppl, kaquie
isn't this dance very sacred? I was taught all the ceremonies are sacred and should never be recorded. I do not understand why someone would disrespect the ceremony and tribal customs.
@terrafirma666 They are. However, this is a social dance for everyone to see. Non-natives I see alllllllll the time at these dances and recorded by fellow Hopi's all the time. If you don't understand, I recommend you post your comment on all the Hopi Social dance videos on youtube. It's only right if you don't agree. Thank you for your concern.
man i do sure miss home( 2nd mesa)!!!I love watching these dances brings all the memories back when well u know !!thanks for posting the vids, and not letting me forget who i am!!!thx brother
@rlb95376 lol ooohh sorry sister my bad!!! just like to thank you again my other sister from another mother! i mean that in the hopi way my dad was from mishungnovi idk if thats spelled right.Keep posting them vids love it!
That young man can certainly dance well. It is good to see such enthusiasm and precision. Someone tell him to keep it up, and learn as much as he can. He is to be a great one.
I like the fact that your support your family saying that "your so proud of them". I am LDS (Mormon) and know that when my family participate in sacred ceremonies I am very proud of them as well. I love watching these Hopi dances and ceremonies. My uncle served an LDS mission in AZ among the Hopi 55 years ago and speaks so highly of them. Beautiful Dance, very powerful. Thanks for sharing this.
LOL I just wanted to thank you rlb95376 for posting your dances, i wish i could make it out to your area but im kind of close being from Laguna Pueblo, i know for some of our feast days its awesome to see some of the Hopi dancers come and bless us. Thanks again and be strong!
this vid. is pretty cool. Im 23 im Navajo Apache an a lil Zuni but I speak Navajo and know my tradition and love it. i also feel a little connection with the pueblo ppl. i like watching these Hopi dances that are put up on youtube. An i feel a real connection to the ppl. One time i had a dream of one of the Hopi mesas an looked it up an come to find out it was the same mesa i had in my dream. Hmm what does that all mean???
thee qirlsz looxcksz like da buffalo dance qirlsz just without da crown nd add da white moccasinsz nd add masompies (idk how 2 spell it?) nd there yu qo:))
why do you post these on here??? its not katsinam but still the same respect should be applied here...we make navajos take down videos that they post dont you think that we should follow our own enforements??? I have family in michigan and when they want to see the dances i email it to them...yeah our ceremonies are for everyone to see but let them feel that power of our ceremonies in person dont post stuff like this online we are Hopi we are supposed to be humble this is showing off not Hopi
You just contradictied yourself when you say "our ceremonies are for everyone to see but let them feel that power of our ceremonies in person dont post stuff like this onlin" Then funny you turn around and say you e-mail you family clips of these videos when really they are not there in person to "feel the power of our ceremonies in person"....just saying.
I know what you're saying but I think if you're a member of a tribe you have the right to post a video of a dance if you want. It's only wrong if someone without permission were to post one or even video tape it for that matter.
Awesome dance by the way. I just danced in for Pojoaque's Feast Day yesterday. It's a great feeling.
Very beautiful!

Did you get permission from your ancestors? From those that taught you the dance? From those who taught them? From each person dancing?
Who gets to give permission? Head of Ceremonies? Governing body put in by the US? BIA/DOI? Grandma? Elder?
