  • The majority of the Cherokee Nation carries more white blood than native blood. The Cherokee Nation also diserolls it's own people. And is always trying to stop other native people from getting their recognigtion. Learn the truth about the Cherokee nation. Look in the bottom right of the cherokee nation's website and see what it says about all non federal native americans. Learn the truth.

  • now we sell you beer with no taxs so you hit and kill peolp now thats pay back

  • When folks respond to antagonists, I feel the "protagonists" are somehow encouraging what the bad guy started by throwing more back at them. It is as simple as condoning whatever you "don't" want in your presence. Those who try to fight the web of life can contradict, but they cannot fight it. Opposites are along the same line. Like north and south. Yeah. There are no curses found in the Cherokee language. Wah Doh.

  • @montana051880 uh, it's Wado..lol..;)

  • WE ARE ALL TRIBES OF ISRAEL AND SOMEDAY WE WILL OVERCOME

  • White-eyes can't see, or learn from, their mistakes.

  • @MrbadatHALOslayer You're a racist. "White eyes" can't....

  • Cherokee Pride all the way

  • O'Siyo

    Your Brothers and sisters have been attacked once more by yonegs in Lawrenceburg TN.

    Do Not trust system. They have always lied to and about our People!

    They continue to steal and take what they can! Those trusting the yonegs are NOT Free! They are SUBJECTS! Pray for our People and our Tribe.If they did it to us who is to say they will not do it to you?

  • @MrStrongarms , you need a history lesson. The Cherokees fought for the Confederacy. The flag has nothing to do with hate or the KLAN. The Klan uses the Union flag too, is it hate? The Southern States fought for independence not slavery, the Union fought for the Union, not against slavery. Your government education is showing how little you know. Educate yourself, read real history, not government controlled propaganda.

  • @brainerdrebel bull crap they were forced to fight and it is a hate flag nothing you say will change my mind am a history major jack ass !!

  • @MrStrongarms, you need to take a english composition class. ( am a history major). I am a Cherokee descendant , lets talk a about which flag represents hate. The confederacy didn't send my ancestors on the trail of tears or steal their farms. You need to change your major.

  • @MrStrongarms , Commont? Get your mother to show you how to use spell check.

    Here is your homework;

    1. Which state abolished first ?

    2. What year ?

    3. Research Blacks that owned slaves.

  • @MrStrongarms, which flag killed Sioux women and children? Lets talk about racism, most northern states wouldn't blacks enter their states. Read about the New York City draft riots of 1863, rioters burned black children in an orphanage and hanged blacks all over the city.

    Hitler copied the Indian Reservation system with Jewish Ghettos.

  • @MrStrongarms, if educating myself is a disgrace then I am guilty. Your spirit is telling you I am right and you don't want to accept it. The United States is occupying 134 countries and you think the Confederacy was wrong for wanting to leave a corrupt Union. Facts are facts and government propaganda can't change them.

    You need to go to a sweat lodge and soak your brain.

  • @brainerdrebel  BITE ME WHITE EYES!

  • @AnnieOaklie63, I would love to.

  • @brainerdrebel you suck really bad at this...go get on a chat room.. u-lv-no-ti-s-gi

  • @AnnieOaklie63, I am actually very good at it. I have over a thousand likes on my comments. I use facts and I am not influenced by government propaganda. I think you really like me but don't want to admit it. I am not a white eye, I am Cherokee.

  • I believe it is important to remember what happened in the past, but not to dwell on it. Why are we focusing on the past which can not change? If you are all Americans, you should know we support equality to all - white, black, red, and yellow. You help the white and the black in need, why be so reluctant and pissy about helping the red in need?

    If you call yourself an American, then you should act like one.

    Stop being racist and angry with the Natives for wanting their culture that was stolen.

  • rasist nation, they owned slaves in cherokee nation but now they want to kick out thousands of their formr slaves.

    Thats like usa kicking out all the blacks, they used the slaves and now that their free they send them back after they sqeezed the juice

  • What do you think is going to happen when you roll up on a bunch of people who are little more than cavemen and they are sitting on a wealth of natural resources?

    Your people got conqered.

    You're not the first group this has happened to, and you won't be the last. Get over it.

  • @Ravage172, you better shut it. we are who we are. The Cherokee had the right idea. they didn't treat others diffrently because of their skin color, race, or family. they respected each other. they only faught the pilgrims when the pilgrims stoll their land. they occasionally faught with other tribes over buffalo and stuff, but that was diffrent. now the white men are polluting the air, killing off the animals, and destroying the forests. i would rather live in the time when buffalo ran free.

  • @lcrs5050

    Well I guess thats just the beauty of living in the White Man's World. Yet another wonderful aspect of being conquored you need to get used to. We guarantee the Right of Free Speech. A concept your little cave-man brain can't wrap around. You have the Right to believe that hogwash about the peaceful Cherokee and I have the Right to point out your ignorance. Again - get over it.

  • I agree. We Cherokee never ask for help. maby that would expalin why I never ask for help at school or anything.

    I don't have free classes or anything.

    I don't accept handouts.

    I don't live on a Reservation, because there are none in Ohio, but I would like to visit one, one day.

    I'm about 10% Cherokee.

    I don't go to casino's, so I wouldn't have free access even if I wanted to.

    :)

  • THE LAST THING I THOUGHT TO DO , WAS ASK FOR HELP CAUSE IM CHEROKEE HAHAHA.

    NO CHEROKEE WOULD ASK HELP, WE ARE PROUD DONT NEED HANDOUTS OR HELP.

  • CHEROKEE INDIANS DONT GET ANYTHING FREE.

    I NEVER GOT FREE COLLEGE CLASSES,OR ANYTHING.

    I NEVER ASK FOR FREE EDUCATION, EVEN IF THEY GAVE ME FREE EDUCATION I WOULD NOT TAKE IT.

    IYOU AINT PAYIN FOR CHEROKEE EDUCATION.

    BECAUSE INDEPENDENT CHEROKEE PEOPLE DONT NEED YOUR HELP.

    I LIVE MY LIFE REGULAR. FORGOT THAT YOU COULD ASK FOR HELP MOST CHEROKEE PEOPLE DONT WANT HELP WE ARE INDEPENDENT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WERE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE TOO.

    I DONT WANT NOTHING FROM YOU.

  • @ The Bambibasher.

    I Am Mostly Cherokee And I NEVER GOT FREE EDUCATION OR FREE ANYTHING OK.

    I Dont Know What Your Talking About, I Never Asked For Any Chaity Or Hand Outs.

    NOT ALL CHEROKEE GET FREE EDUCATION OR FREE CASINOS.

    THATS JUST CHEROKEES THAT WANT OR ASK FOR HELP.

    I NEVER ASKED FOR HELP OR HANDOUTS BECAUSE IT'S STUPID I JUST LIVED MY LIFE LIKE NORMAL AMERICANS NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING.

    IM CHEROKE, BUT I DONT NEED ANYONES HELP TO LIVE OR SURVIVE.

    I AM INDEPENDENT.

  • I Am Cherokee And German, My Dad Is Redskin Very Dark,My Undle Fred Looks Like A Cheif.

    My Great Grandmother Was Cherokee Princess.

    NO I DO NOT HAVE A CASINO.

    I DO NOT LIVE ON A RESERVATION.

    NOT ALL INDIANS LIVE ON RESERVATIONS AND OWN CASINOS.

    Cherokee People In Oho Live In Houses Like Everyone Else.

    They Aint No Reservations In Ohio That I Know Of .

    All The Reservations In West Coast Cal,Oregon,Wash,Arizona,Utah,M­ontana.

    Midwest Might Have Like 5 Reservations If That.

  • I'm American and proud of it. But I'm 1/32nd Cherokee, and you all wouldn't HAVE an America, to BE Americans, if you hadn't stolen it from us, with our blood on your hands. Live with it.

  • I am tired of living my life knowing that NOBODY remembers my heritage and what was done to us! I can't say this song means everything but it is very true about us! I wish some people would realize how much some of us Cherokee heart ache about what has been done to our culture! It is now very difficult to remember our language and ways ; and it pains us!

  • I'm the Iroquois tribes and I hate what the white men did to the native americans. they were only defending their land and Jackson made them all go to reservations.

  • suck ass bitches

    

  • hahahah! That slide show was......rediculous! Are you american or not? You can't be a fence rider your whole life. Stand up and say your an american as so many of you refuse to do or sit down and shut up! If you are not an american then shhhh! Because nobody wants to hear your hate and propaganda. Are the checks still coming? You are a mother. I bet you got your kids a free education on our dime as well. I have to pay for my kids to go to college and I have to fight for every job I get

  • Grow up and stop preaching your propaganda. That is why the indian won't stop living off the government. You guys are so stuck in the past. You've replaced the tomahawk with your mouth and live off the rest of us. Most of you are still getting a check just for being a person of indian heritage. Do you want more money? Well u can forget it. I don't think you should get one cent. Affirmative action gets you whatever job you want and your kids go to college on our dime.

  • Hmm, I wonder when the Cherokee nation is going to allow descendants of real Cherokee, who survived the Trail of Tears, to join the tribe? Presently, you have to prove you have an ancestor listed on the Dawes or Guion Miller rolls, which were rolls taken of only the living Cherokee in Oklahoma in the early 1900's.

  • i may be white but im still 20% chearokee nd im proud to be both

  • @BrandonLDudley I'm 20% or so Cherokee...and the odd thing is that my daughter, who's got way less Cherokee blood than I do (and her dad is very white with blond hair and blue eyes) looks more Indian than I do...

  • tsaylagi Okcsted! O ce o lo 1896 SCV God bless Stand Watie and or fathers that followed him.

  • ja say la ge Okc sted! O ce o lo 1896 SCV God bless Stand Watie and or fathers that followed him.

  • ja say la ge Okc sted! O ce o lo 1896

  • I hate that schools (in GA) teach mainly about Black slavery, but they just don't teach about Cherokee and the Trail Of Tears. I also dislike that many people bother with claiming that they are native, but have blonde hair, blue eyes. I'm not full Native, just about 40% Seminole and Cherokee. I took after my Native side on EVERYTHING, except I have one green eye (other is brown). I'm usually mistaken for Hispanic or Japanese, though.

  • Comment removed

  • @turnandburn4life Genes hop throughout generations, and native americans are always constantly being mistaken for latinos but both are part of the Americas so i guess there are similarities somewhere there.

  • @MRCHRIS94ify I think, in a way, it could just be ignorance. If someone's not black or white then "OH they're mexican"

  • im 6% cherokee an the rest is British German and Irish and i feel worse about what my race has done to the native americans than what we did to the africans because you native americans where here first

  • Lot of talk about blood. Cracks me up. How can you be proud that you landed a number on the roll of the cosmic dice? The only constant that every race shares is that they used someone else to better themselves.You and I are no stranger to this fact. So raise your head to the heavens and bellow out how proud you are to be red, yellow, brown, black and white. He will hear us all the same.

  • Don't hate on those of us who are not full-blooded Cherokee, most of us are mutts now. Be proud of what you are! There is too much division and hatred among the people, not only will hatred and vengeance solve little, they are the same weapons used against us. We are divided enough and do not need people being fools.

  • UM IT WAS WE THE WHITE MAN WHO FUCKED YALL SO WHATS WITH THE CONFED FLAG IN THE CLIP THE SOUTHERN CONFEDS WERE WHITE TOO SO WHY U HELP US OUT IN THE CIVIL WAR AGAINST THOSE GOD DAMN YANKEES and if you look back in history yall also helped run away slaves WTF!!!!what its like ok "lets fight to keep blacks slaves but lets also help them run away"im very confused can one of yall red skins give me some info?lol

  • @JK666JK666JK You really are confused son. Cherokees owned slaves until the Emancipation Proclamation, thats why there are black cherokees. Google Cherokee Braves also, the Cherokees even had their own Confederate flag. SOME cherokees helped runaway slaves like SOME WHITE southerners helped runaway slave. Stand Waite was the last General to surrender to the Union and he was a Cherokee! I'm 1/2 Tsalagi, trust me, I know my stuff.

  • @AdventOctober omg ur right so sorry. thx you for helping me understand. and oh yea i do have cherokee and choktow well how ever u spell it. but i classify my self as a white german american becuse i dont have much in me like maybe 30% and my skin is relly white my mom is half cherokee tho. and besides why is it that ever white person like me that has alittle in them always have to say there cherokee why dont they claim there damn race like i do it only counts if ur cherokee not mixed

  • @JK666JK666JK Well techically every Cherokee is mixed blood if you look at blood quantum but I consider myself full blood because being fullblood is what is in your heart. You my friend, even with 15% Tsalagi blood running through your veins can be a full blood if your heart is 100% in it. I see what you mean by race too, both me and my sister are half white and half Cherokee, but I look full blood and she looks white, so don't be too quick to judge on color.

  • @AdventOctober

    Well said!

  • Comment removed

  • Everytime I hear about the blacks being oppressed during slavery I get livid, they were freed, later got equality, but they still bitch wanting more, they've thrived, so their lives aren't that bad, see many American Indians, I think not! Seems history today is written to keep from offending others, so we can't put actual, factual information in it, someone might get upset. What does big gov get you, ask Indians, Confederate ancestors, and anyone who lost a home to imminent domain!

  • Injun Pride! -Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma

  • God bless all Cherokee and allied Nations.

    from an Irish friend.

  • proud to be cherokee/black even though i know nothing about my native american side but i really wanna learn if only i could talk to my ancestors

  • i am mixed cherokee siminole scotch and irish and im proud on my native heritage and i will teach my son about his roots plain and simple

  • proud to be cherokee

  • The negative people that are leaving these ignorant comments would not be leaving them to my face if they saw this PROUD CHEROKEE(Aniyunwiya), I put on my mothers grave your nose would bleed, cause I will always fight! good video lady outlaw.

  • All of America should be standing up and shouting for justice for not only the Cherokee but all indigenous tribes of your country, its absolutely outrageous how these people have been treated, the largest genocide in human history and not content with that the remainder had thier land stolen and their dignity striped, they were a noble people who only took from the land what they needed, if we had followed their example the world wouldn't be in the shit we are now. what goes around comes around.

  • You know... a cheif of this nation said "You aren't part Cherokee, you either are, or your not."

    It's not how pure your blood is that gives your pride. I'm mixed, and I have more pride in my Cherokee blood than some Pure bloods!

  • @WildWaffleWriter Damn straight! Never forget who you are!

  • im sorry for the people on here talking about US mixed breeds! i will be praying for you. racism is sad you are who you are and your genes are your genes! you can try and act like were nobody but our skin color, hair color any genetic trait says different. again i will be praying for you

  • and your page says your not full blood native american so get the fuck out of here you tool

  • Comment removed

  • @boricuamovement Dreads are not Indian culture, sir. You're fibbing.

  • @boricuamovement And Puerto Ricans aren't Indian Culture, either.

  • Comment removed

  • @boricuamovement No need to get hostile, kiddo. No one but you is getting mouthy.

  • two of the largest massacers of native americans ever commited was commited during the Civil war in 1863 i believe when union forces attacked a peacefull tribe

    they massacered an estimated 358 women and children in a single day

    and you say the Confederacy was full of indian killing racists

    look in to history before shouting nonsense

  • My moms a long hair and my dads a wolf.. im a long hair, too. Howah!

  • The (wolf clan) Dont Run

  • we had white presidents and now we have a black president :/ but why do we not have a Cherokee president? he would have the best environmental policy, would get this country's pride back and would age well in office.

  • @TheRealVanillaTwix umm do you know any native american politicians?

    just because somones color is red or brown dosent mean there going to be good

    havent we learned our lesson when we elected obama

    just because skin color is different dosent mean they are going to be a good leader

    we allready fucked up our country by electing a man just because of his color do we really need to make the same mistake again?

  • @TexasReb93 yeah we did, and no we dont elect someone for color, its heritage. now i take it your from Texas, you got southern heritage? i believe the background of someones people sticks with a persons values, shit i still hold the north as morally wrong. so a persons color doesnt matter to me man 

  • Havent heard this song in years..thanks for uploading it. Btw...i am white..but i dont look at people for color, i look at it like this, were all human beings, all born the same, i get along with everyone, i dont understand people who hate others for skin color, or tradition...thanks again for the upload, and peace to you and everyone else here.

  • my great grandmother was Cherokee, its in my blood. :] its all i claim :P

  • @touchof17 YOUR NOT NATIVE 

  • @boricuamovement how the hell yu going to tell me im not native? you dont fuckin know me, ive lived on a reserve my whole fuckin life. so really? stfu.

  • i am a white man. i just think "manifest destiny" is a load of shit. we coulda treated them better

  • @desertdreg altho we could of done things way nicer with way less blood shed.... what happened to those people was kinda inhumane...

  • it's just sad. what goes around....

  • i just found out today my ancesters were cherokee.

  • Amazing how this little ditty caused such a bitter response. I am pure American Idiot. No just kidding. There is no part of me that is not Gaelic. I am white, really white. I however grew up down south around the Carolinas and Georgia and Alabama. Got friends who are Houma and Little Miami and a couple of Potowatomie, and a good guy who owns a gun shop here in Topeka named Aday, he's Cherokee. They're all a hoot to be with. I Love Americans. I am a friend of Paul Revere, I love this song

  • not to worry the system of america is failing at a high rate, God has set this up for us all to go through, so we know, never to let this greedy system happen again, so our grandchildren will grow up in a healtly loving Earth, once america falls the rest of the world will soon follow, we as humans have no choice but to go back to tribal ways. the ones who don't accept that lifestyle will die off, they will have no choice, greed will end one day for all.......

  • i'm only 3/16 cherokee but i hold the name with all my heart. it was wrong what that so called president andrew jackson did.

  • @TheRealVanillaTwix, I think your that's the best idea someone has ever had.

  • even a full blood cherokee is a fake indian giving up your way of life to satisfy the white man... pathetic i spit on you all for being traitors and cowerds

  • @givemerockbitch, if you insult my ansesters one more time, I will hunt you down and hurt you. No one insults my ansesters, not you, not the bully's at school, not anybody. Understand?

  • @lcrs50 lol you spelled ancesters wrong lol dumb ass wanna be native you should be ashamed and hunt me down. i want you to understand

  • @givemerockbitch whoa man, now if you try to fight an army of guns against bows whos gonna win? you would have to have the Superior number of people ( like sitting bull). and not all the white men conquered the Cherokee, that was just the u.s gov't which was mainly a northern institution at that time

  • its funny how many non natives - whites, mixed breeds claim to be Cherokee.

  • @bigkittysmile yes it is, only white blood is what i created by having some of my children with white men

  • @ladyoutlaw420 if you are true to the Cherokee people why does it matter what skin color you are? if my grandfather is Cherokee does that mean i am not. Does white Blood stain my Cherokee pride?

  • @bigkittysmile I claim to be African- American but I will always know that my great great grandmother was Cherokee

  • @bigkittysmile be pissy all u want, im proud to be even partial. Not alot of full bloods around of anything anymore. Cherokee Pride.

    - Prometheus

  • @MightyPrometheus pissy? its true fact. call yourself cherokee or whatever u want to. if i'm part French i don't call myself French. youre enititled to your opinion but mind your manners.

  • @bigkittysmile yet ur speaking english. good game.

  • @MightyPrometheus i just wanted to say im full blood &if you people r so proud to b cherokee do yal speak cherokee r members of a stompdance?because i am amember of a stomp grounds and speak cherokee

  • @bigkittysmile my great grandfather was full blooded comanche and yet my skin is white

    just because our skin is white we are not aloud to be proud of our ancestors?

    Im not full blooded Comanche but im still proud of my ancestry

  • @TexasReb93 i didn't say dont be proud of your ancestry its your life

  • @TexasReb93 KNOW TRIBE WILL accept YOU

  • @boricuamovement such a hostile person

    i dont understand why you cant accept that many whites have native blood and are proud of it

    the number of pure blood Natives of any tribe is so small its almost nonexisistant

    almost every native american has blood of some other race in them

    my skin is not red but i am just as proud of my ancestry as any full blooded Indian

    God Bless my friend :)

  • Comment removed

  • @boricuamovement ALSO HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF NATIVE AND LOVE THE Confederate ITS WAS MADE AND FILD WITH INDIAN KILLING RACEIST

  • @boricuamovement wow

    learn your damn history you idot

    The Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, Catawba, and Creek tribes all pledged full alligence to the Confederacy and all supplied troops to fight against the invadeing Union forces

    and an estimated 23 tribes accross north america had large percentages fighting for the Confederacy

    they fought along side the Confederacy as EQUALS

    look it up you uneducated idiot

    theres a reason why Oklahoma is included as a Confederate state

  • @TexasReb93 GO READ A BOOK ONLY A minority party of the NATIVES gave its allegiance to the Confederacy, while originally the majority party went for the North AND WHAT THAY DID TO THE INDIANS AFTER THE WAR IS SICK

  • @boricuamovement what the confederates did to the indians after the war?

    or what the union did?

    the confederacy ceased to exist after the war

    the civilized tribes all pledged alliegence perhaps you should read a book :)

  • @boricuamovement once again your such a hostile person

    i dont give a flying rats ass if you accept me as a native american decendant

    racist fucks like you dont have any say in who is native and who is not

    i have native blood and i am proud of it

    i dont give a flying rats ass if you approve or not

    for all i know your whiter then me

  • @bigkittysmile whats even more funny is you being dumb as you are...50 years ago being NATIVE AMERICAN was as thought to be as bad as being black...just something else your liberal teachers failed to inform you of

  • @scalplifter55 sure, you got your own opinion. racism is in the mind. talkin shit on youtube is for morons. get a life. 

  • @scalplifter55 you want me to do what? wow youre even more stupid than i thought. please no more nasty comments on my channel. why dont you do something to help the cherokees and other natives instead of just writing spineless stuff on youtube that you cant even back up?

  • @bigkittysmile your education in the public schools is showing...if you knew any real history you would actually be able to remove your head out of your ass

  • @scalplifter55 wtf r u talking about? if you had any brains you would stop writing garbage.

  • @bigkittysmile I agree, the worst thing about it is how uninformed people are. I was just talking to a so-called apache yesterday (he looked white), and he said he was of their wolf clan. I'm half tsalagi and half apache so I'm very familiar with both. I know that the Apache don't have animal clans and he got pissed because I called him out on his lies in front of his friends but that stuff disgraces American Indians.

  • @bigkittysmile that makes me mad, every person i tell that i am cherokee indian, they say oh, i am too. but they are the whitest people i have ever seen.

  • @bigkittysmile i'm proud to be a Cherokee even though i'm only 25% Cherokee my grandmother was a full blood Cherokee

  • @bigkittysmile I'm Native Cherokee,Indian as in India,French and African.I hate how people all wayes want me to chose only one culture.Why can't I just be all 4?

  • Look, it was horrible, it was wrong, but its been done.

    The people living there today didn't take your land, and the Cherokee living today aren't the ones who lost their land. What about the natives who lived in the part of Oklahoma the Cherokees now live in? Or the descendants of slaves owned by the Cherokee? The problem with owing people based on heritage is that you can't undo a wrong without creating another.

  • @nomadicsky The problem with owing people based on heritage is that nobody knows what my heritage is. I'm 3rd generation Irish and Native American. My ancestors never owned a slave nor did they take native land; they were native and both sides were oppressed. I'm tired of being generalized by my skin just as much as the next man is.

  • @essillius don't let it bother you, its what lies inside your heart thats what truely counts. i'm irish w/ no native blood, but that doesn't mean i don't respect tribal ways, everyone came from tribal ways anyway so what difference does it make. your either ignorant or not, no matter who you are!

  • <<<<<Is From the wolf Clan

  • @TLVANV go fuck off and make a tipi or something she put it up on her standards not urs!

  • this song is dedicated to henry robberts

  • i am cherokee along with 4 other different tribes and very proud of my heritage. i dont know why some of you are arguing over all this. the past is the past. let it stay there and make now much better than back then. geez. and again....i said "SOME" not "most" or "all".

  • awesome

  • @blueigurlie

    Nowadays, there are few true "full blooded" Cherokees. Lots of them intermingled with African-Americans and Irish. One of my grandmothers was Lower Creek, but I didn't find out until a few years ago because at the time it was very taboo for a white person to marry a Native American.

  • @maniacalmania no honestly there are alot of pure bloods, just well hidden and off the grid, there are more of them in the eastern band and the keetowah and

  • @blueigurlie They probably came from what's now known as Asia. During the Ice Age the Bering Straits were frozen, and nomads may have walked it and settled what's now known as the Southeastern US. But, that's only one of a couple of theories. Archaelogical findings suggest it as well. 

  • Comment removed

  • I love your video...and I am proud to be a Cherokee Indian too!

  • who in their right mind wouldnt be proud to be cherokee or of any native american tribe? i kno im proud =)

  • amen i am 2 proud to be cherokee 

  • @giroroCM FOR YOUR INFO I DON'T LIVE IN THE PAST, JUST A PROUD INDIAN LADY HERE

  • @ladyoutlaw420 You know what ? I side with the native Americans on their complaints against the european Americans. You guys were here first, you guys had the better perspective on how to live in harmony with the natural world. I am ashamed of my heritage, you atleast can be proud. The native Americans in my opinion were the free-est richest persons to ever inhabit North America.

    The ways of the whiteman have ruined so so much; money, greed, "if it feels good" mentality of today...dispicable.

  • @giroroCM if you ignore the past, history is bound to repeat itself. why don't you just tell a jew whose grandfatther and great uncle fought in WORLD WAR 2 that the haulocaust didn't happen??? really smart.

  • @giroroCM This is the most ignorant thing I have ever read, man... What was done to the Indians was so amazingly barbaric... Slavery, the Holocaust, the "Inquisition" of America by the Europeans... Should it all be forgotten? Should it be conveniently placed to the side because it is unpleasant? I say they should teach it more in depth. What man does to man is incredibly sickening. Thank God for the strength of all of these poor, oppressed people. People are people. Everyone is born equal.

  • @DoverKirby ALL OUR WISHES AND BLESSINGS ARE WITH THE AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALL THE PERSONS WHO HAVE BEEN SUFFERING BARBARIC INJUSTICE AND ATROCITIES LIKE CHEROKEE NATION !

  • @giroroCM The "you all" have mostly move on as far as I know but songs like this are to make sure that we don't forget that it wasn't very long ago that we weren't equal and this is something that should be taught more in schools because kids know so little about it and as the saying goes "Those who not know history are forever doomed to repeat it" and I am really glad you aren't one of our political leaders because with people like you we would all be back in the Stone Age

  • @giroroCM It is not living in the past . it is all about preserving the history and passing it on to younger generations.

  • @giroroCM We still celebrate the American Revolution. If we wish to commorate the positive aspects of American history, we must keep sacred the painful memories as well. I'm proud of my heritage. The Irish, the English, and the Cherokee.

  • I agree. I look white, but I'm not fully. My great great grandmother was fully Cherokee and her bloodline makes me so. The United States not only stole from our people, but they are indebted to us. We aided the colonists and the British during the French and Indian War when we could have chosen the other side with the other tribes, we served in the Confederate army during the Civil War and our unit was the last to surender. The USA wouldn't exist without us! We never give up and never will.

  • I AM PROUD TO BE CHEROKEE

  • I was born, bred and live in England...but am part Cherokee on my father's side...of which I am rightly proud...and I think the white European has a lot to answer to.

  • PROUD TO BE NATIVE AMERICAN CHEROKEE

  • im half cherokee half apache

  • im half cherokee...i sure wish i was full...

  • @QtGurlof08 I'm half Cherokee myself, like you I wish I was full blooded

  • @ElphabaWickedGlinda yeah Cherokee is definitely my better half! ;)

  • @Hellbane224 try to rethink using the r word plz. its hateful and does a diservice to mentally challenged people, dont equate retardation with stupidity thank you and btw its funny how the mind works we have trained ourselves to see aggression and yelling when someone types in caps its quite funny really

  • @0darklament0 It's a fucking word. Okay? A word. Reactions like yours are what keep racism alive. Words are nothing more than that. Words. They have no meaning unless YOU apply one to them. I think you're probably the most hateful person because you still associate "retardation" with those who have mental handicaps. So while you still deem them retards, I regard them as people. You don't get to be the first to throw the stone, jack ass, go judge someone else.

  • would have been nice had you used real Cherokees in your pictures, rather than plains tribes.........except for your family nothing depicted was Cherokee; please do your research and do again..
