There should be more education on the Native Americans in ALL schools across the nation, no matter the school or heritage. If you live here and born here you should know where all heritage no matter.
I'm so happy to find this video. I love Indian lore and the Indian people. When I lived in California I could get a station with this traditional Indian music and pow wow during the night from Window Rock, AZ, but I can't get it here in Idaho. ~OneKewpie~
hahah well the woman who says or sounds lik she says go quinelle whooo!! idk but i thnk thts my mom n aftr a lil gurl laughes i thnk thts me hahah lol
omg i rememer this i waz lik only 6 yrs old n my older bro quinnel waz in it thy said he almpt won but we left early i help him make his costum n he always practices but i cant find him i cant reconize him hahaha i kno the costum waz blueish cooler n he waz lik 15 or 16 at the time
can somebody please tell me how they dance!! is it 2 steps-each leg snd repeat? i am infacuated with the american indian dance!! just went to a pow-wow, out her east where i live, in ny-long island. the town was shhinicock! awesome......i was mezmerized for 3 hrs, watching these guys dance. but im still trying to learn the footwork.
nice video. have any of you fellas checked out the wow cheats pack from warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? it's impressive, i recently downloaded it. it's got completely every thing in it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the newest arena glitch. i probably should not reveal to folks about this however at the very least it offers you all a reasonable chance to download it before i pwn you all
Why? Nationalism is a stupid ideal, being proud of the race as which you happen to be born? You should be proud of your own achievements, not of random chance.
You clearly said if you're not a native american you suck. So you implied that i am worth less then you because i don't have the same skin color as you. Why don't you judge people by what they achieve? I guess you just think it's easier to use skin as a reference...
I'll stand up for myself, for something meaningful. Not to defend a nationality by which i happen to be born by random chance. This is one planet we all live on and the fact that we felt the need to draw borders and define people on both sides a border as different has caused nothing but problems. I'll stand up to defend what i believe in and what i have worked to achieve or understand, not for something as superficial as the fact i'm white
bet they had fun dancing on hot pavement,i remember this one time when i was doing the smoke dance on pavement and it was real hot out i burnt my feet even though i had foot ware on.
Perfectly well! Navajo is the most surprising, courageous and noble people. I wish them to keep their magic language, their beauty, bravery and wisdom, their spiritual knowledge and traditions.

Ooh, I can probably use this in an art project I'm doing. It's a sort of combination of Rebecca Horn, indigenous dancing and pencils on my costume. One thing I need to know is: when you do these dances, is there any set dance you must do, or do you just go with what feels right?
there really needs to be bilingual schools for all natives across the U.S. They being the natives of the land truly deserve to preserve their culture, traditions, and language. Don't let these precious languages go.
@torofighter I agree, I heard Rosetta Stone made some special programs that were given to schools on the reservations in order to teach childern and help others relearn their traditional languages. There needs to be more priority given to this!
it doesnt matter what ground they dance on, at least they dance. if you have ever been to the fair there you will see why they dont dance on the ground, i know cause im from there and attend every year.
i used to jingle dance when i was younger and we danced in the grass and it didnt cost anything now there having them at prospera center and charging 7 dollars
yea its like wearing shoes it breaks the connection with the vibrations from the earth, im barefoot when i can be, i work in a dojo so im barefoot at work all the time its awsome
@oakfox1981 hey i happen to be one of those boys if you want to dis someones culture dis white people i c yo name is playboythuggin wha tthe hell kind of name is that huh dis yo own damn ethinicity not otheres asshole
@PLAYBOYTHUGGIN Powwows for navajos is just competition. In no way is it religious. Sacred masked dances and religious ceremonies are performed in the old school way.
@PLAYBOYTHUGGIN fuck pow wows zunis are better we have night dances that are sacret to us and we have masks and when a zuni wants to dance we must go through pain enough pain to make a man cry but u navajos dont have to go through pain u just dance and we have real relegion there no such thing as a homless zuni our people would never let their family member live in the streets most zuni kids can speak zuni but navajos are looseing there langauge and tradition ways
@NdNkid117 because navajos dont care about there langauge or relegion all they care about is the white mans shit thank god im zuni not navajo i can speak my langauage and im 9
The only way you can understand anything about OUR NATIVE WAYS is to experience them for yourself. Listen with your heart when our elders tell the stories.
WOW - strong drum beat - highly colored clothes - spinning to the beat - I think the Navajo invented Rock And Roll - they just didn't tell anyone!!!!!!!!
How can this dancing and spirituality be anything but beautiful???? I do not understand a single step - but OBVIOUSLY - they do!!
note to lancedakotawhitehors...u talk about not being tamed..wasicus taking the land ...u HAVE been tamed n they TOOK our land.. this i know because nomatter where your from your from a reservation....but theres a day we will have it all again.. hoka
SIOUX LAKOTA OGLALA PRide bitches. fuck all you wasicus. im a real live hostile native american. no fucking white peace of trash can tame this wild horse. fuck the white man life. ALL WE WANT AS A COUNTRY AND AS NATIVE AMERICANS IS EQUALITY. SO GIVE IT TO US OR WE SHALL MULTIPLE AND CONQUER ALL!!!!!!
Perhaps before taking over the world, you should concentrate on learning how to spell. :) A couple of anger-management classes wouldn't be amiss either.
actually when you dance grass dance it doesn't really hurt your fett cause ur in the hype and all you concentrate on is the music and rythem and beat. my fett never hurt after dancing even with three day powwowws. im always the first one to get there and the last one to leave(except for the officails). i ove dancing so much. im getting ready for the denver march powwow 2009 comeing up in four days. im so excited
i do belive they are dancing for competition??? am i right??? this is pathetic it puts shame to us we are meant to dance on earth the grass and be spirtual not winnig some competition...its a disgrace
Beautiful dancers, beautiful drum. What a shame it had to be on some damn sweltering parking lot instead of on the earth where the whole point of the grass dance was intended to be danced. How sad that it has to be this way......
well take a look around! theres just going to be more and more concrete!! Fuck city life i hate it, the air is dirty and theres trash all over the fucking place, and it's going to expend, and expand, and expand untill theres no more fucking room, that's why there on concrete, that's what the government gave them
I've never actually been able to watch my own people dance before ^^ as in the Navajo that is *sigh* ;__; I wish I could dance... but I haven't been taught all of the meanings of pow wows and I don't even know how to make my own regalia. Kinda sucks >.> but I enjoyed watching this ^^ it made me feel happy lol
@Helimoth lol It's funny how a year ago, I was sad that I couldn't dance! I'm actually in the kitchen now pinning the ribbons onto my shawl =P I'm going dance on May 1st.
no im navajo but i live on the east coast for school...i just wanted to know how native americans become dancers. ive never been taught about pow wows...thats all haha
im intertribal!! im powhatan, naticoke lennie-lenape and comanche. ppl dont consider me ndn cuz im tan 9cuz of my little bit of dominican). im lik a fruit salad!! but native pride all the way
NIce video. The only thing I cannot understand is why they are on pavement? Some believe that that "like increases like". The foot on soil is something that must be used to connect us with mother earth. The earth under your foot, the wind in your hair inspires us all ~peace all
Shalom! My name is David and I am Jewish. I recently watch The Outlaw Jose Wales. There was a young Navaho woman in the movie. I searched here and found this -it is a very good video.
Loved that movie!!! She is speaking Navajo too...recent movies have horrible "Navajo" actors who can't speak the language.. :) effort counts tho huh lol
what is a real pow wow then? all natives should unify! STOP BEING A HATER!! im sioux and i love and apreciate all native culture! pow wows unifies us as ONE!
When I said the real ones, I meant the ones us Dine use to do a lot long time ago. We just sang, danced, and hung out. Nothing like this video though. That would be a dream if we could all come together. We could be very powerful, but it hasn't happened and maybe never will.
As a Dine, I never really liked this Pow Wow. I think it was adopted just to entertain foreigners. I never went to one or really cared for it. I always thought it looked to flashy and fancy. I like going to the real ones though. Many Navajos and very little foreigners.
go to a pow wow and feel the drums son!! it gets to you and you'll love the way it pounds in your soul! we are all ONE, we just separated in nations...staying alive,staying alive p/s i'm all Dine(the people) too and there are natives in canada who speak our language...cool huh? O an this is the fancy dancers and they are suppose to be flashy and fancy. This is like the main event beside grand entry..thats when I am so proud to be NATIVE!!
6 people had a scene with their ex at a Pow Wow.XD!

NIce video. The only thing I cannot understand is why they are on pavement? Some believe that that "like increases like". The foot on soil is something that must be used to connect us with mother earth. The earth under your foot, the wind in your hair inspires us all ~peace all

They are dancing on tarp, which is covering the ground. it always rains during this pow wow and they put tarp down to cut down on the mud.

Shalom! My name is David and I am Jewish. I recently watch The Outlaw Jose Wales. There was a young Navaho woman in the movie. I searched here and found this -it is a very good video.

When I said the real ones, I meant the ones us Dine use to do a lot long time ago. We just sang, danced, and hung out. Nothing like this video though. That would be a dream if we could all come together. We could be very powerful, but it hasn't happened and maybe never will.

Thats right! UNITE!

As a Dine, I never really liked this Pow Wow. I think it was adopted just to entertain foreigners. I never went to one or really cared for it. I always thought it looked to flashy and fancy. I like going to the real ones though. Many Navajos and very little foreigners.

I think we call that a sqaw dance! lol
go to a pow wow and feel the drums son!! it gets to you and you'll love the way it pounds in your soul! we are all ONE, we just separated in nations...staying alive,staying alive p/s i'm all Dine(the people) too and there are natives in canada who speak our language...cool huh? O an this is the fancy dancers and they are suppose to be flashy and fancy. This is like the main event beside grand entry..thats when I am so proud to be NATIVE!!
tmccrey2001 3 years ago
