Let all that is indian within you die!

[iamearthbornami]

thankyou

[SocietalDemise]

Stop grabbing pictures of any raggedy looking or dead kids you can find. I wanted to see dead indians kids!

[ezmac420]

Why don't you's get it.  Something is only yours if you can defend it. Indians didn't even know what metal was. Can anyone say Aztec, cause that's the way it should have been!

[wolfshaman79]

most people know nothing of the suffering inflicted upon the Native Americans. Keep it up

[skecanj]

I get the title.

Never forget what happened! That's why this vid is important - to educate those who don't know about the Boarding Schools and what happened there... and also to make sure none of us ever forget the People who went to those horrible schools.

Their pain and sacrifices should strengthen the resolve in our own hearts to keep our own traditions and to teach them to our children.

[proffromgview]

@skecanj You folks really have to dig deeper than this superficial "blame the schools" stuff. To do so, you have to understand what was going on at the time. Those schools, and the people running them ALL thought that their way was the ONLY way the Indians would survive! If the Indians did not go to school, and the government gets out of the educating business, chances are, the reservations all would have been broken up...and Native would have NO land today. None.

[proffromgview]

@proffromgview #2. If you read the sources at the time, the missionaries who were largely running these things were under tremendous pressure to LEAVE by the WHITES!! Not because they wanted Indian Autonomy, but because they wanted to farm the Indian land!! Were the schools rough? Absolutely. The other alternative was likely extinction. The whites thought that "unused" land was "wasted," and they were set to break up ALL rez's. All that stopped them were these harsh schools.Think about it

[skecanj]

@proffromgview Nowhere in my post did I say I "blamed the schools" for everything. Still, the schools did do a lot of damage to NDN children - mentally, physically, and spiritually. There's no denying that.

[proffromgview]

@skecanj But what were the alternatives of the time? It was not some sort of modern "recognition of autonomy or sovereignty," it was blatant extinction, pure and simple, at the hands of settlers and land-hungry farmers.

Sure, in the comfortable armchairs of 130 years later, people can look back and whine and cluck about what the schools DID, but the only REAL option then was to let the Indians go up against the settlers--and they all would have been wiped out.

[liljayrivs]

But then again there's also this...THE NATIVEI IN ME WILL NEVER DIE I WILL NOT FALL INTO THE STANDARDS THAT RACIST PRICKS SET FOR US WE ARE NOT SAVS OR REZ RATS WE ARE THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY WE ORIGIANTED HERE WE DID'NT EMIGRATE FROM THE LAND BRIDGE THERE ARE ARTIFACTS THAT PREDATE THAT BULL SHIT U CALLA THEORY WE ARE NOT AS DUMB AS RACIST PEOPLE THINK WE ARE SMARTER AND STRONGER WE CAN STAND IN THE SUN WITHOUT GETTING BURNED.. And that is my opinion get it throught your fukin heads

[liljayrivs]

I am Native and this shit went on my Grandpa Sid Jones R.I.P Gramps.. He wen through tthis. And don't get me wrong not all christians are bad. I mean im Native and Christain then you get then racist fukin christins that destroy everything. But it even says in the bible that jesus had fair toned skin like ours it was olive complexion LIKE OURS. And people dont get that shit I mean not all christinsa ar ebad but there's always a few tho that are.

[AmberPeers]

To all the racist people just a reminder we stand as ONE nation through out all of the world. Ive seen alot through out the years and heard alot, We've been through hell and back, people trying to kill of aboriginals, people putting us down. We are all just as human as u son of a bitches! I must add i am damn well proud to b aboriginal and i aint scared to say my part. RACIST ppl can go and suck on a big pair bunch of prejudice people

[macuilrocks]

what the hell is up with that title??!

u no...only fucked up crazed-christians would do something like this to native americans!!! if i were there, i probably wod be cuz im indian too, id kick them in the ballz sooo fucking hard!!!

[Yonvadisi]

You don't get it do you?? I did this video as a TRIBUTE to the survivors of boarding schools. Let All That Is Indian Within You Die was the "motto" of most schools. It was the motto of the one in Cherokee, NC which is where I still reside today. Check out my profile and you will see that I am an activist and that I am Cherokee. Check out my other videos and you will learn a lot about who I am. A fucked up crazed christian would defiantly NOT be on the list.

[Clarissa1026]

The tribute should be inspiring; the motto conflicts with the images. There are a couple of disturbing images, but the majority are positive. The motto should be different was what I meant. No need to call names.

[Yonvadisi]

I was not name calling .. I was making a statement to macuilrocks and I was only answering his post.You may want to read the rude, insulting comment he made and the names he called me, I did not however return the favor, I simply answered him.The people that matter, the ones from my home in Cherokee, NC that went to boarding school appreciate this video, they know it is for them and I refuse to take it down. As I have said many times, the title was the motto of the school.

[Clarissa1026]

I'm so sorry; I'm directing my opinions to the wrong person. Forgive me. I use to live in the boarding school way back in the 70's, my mother all her school years, my grandmother did not want that life so she ran away and had babies. So sorry, I didn't think the images went well with the title. But now I understand. Thank you for educating me.

[Clarissa1026]

I agree with you...I'd like to find out who this Yonvadisi is all about.

[Yonvadisi]

I am easy to find. I am in the Cherokee, NC phone book ... my last name is Yonvadisi. IF you know your history, you would recognize my video title as the MOTTO for boarding school. That is what our people were told DAILY ... my family experienced this treatment and to this day it is told. This is a video of respect and honor to those who have survived boarding school. (continued in next post .... )

[curatrix2008]

@Yonvadisi oh fuck indians have done more to damage other indians in the last 100 years than whites ever have.

.

get the fuck off the pity pot & start being honest that as long as you love, embrace & obsess over real or imagined wrongs from the past, you are ignoring your own children, the danger they are in from adult indians TODAY and denying them hope or a future

.

all this po po indians is a ploy to justify the filth, vile violence & abuse you heap on each other

[okee1pawpaw2]

nothing that is cherokee LEFT within me will ever die!! NOT only have you whites stolen my peoples land and mass murderd them but,, the very blood that once made me apart of them has been taken from as well,, so now im not like yall ever! but im not like my native brothers n sisters either>>>THANK YOU AMERICA !! SONS OF CROOKS

[Yonvadisi]

You may want to think about reading peoples profiles when you comment. This is a TRIBUTE to those who survived boarding school. The title is the motto of most boarding schools through out the US including the one in my hometown which is Cherokee, NC.

[okee1pawpaw2]

i dont know what happend , but some how some parts of my post got left out.i know how terriable those bording schools were because i have had long conversations with an elderly native woman up in alaska who told me about how she as a same girl was treated ok so sorry for the miss understanding

[dolIydagger]

yo we no hi na ... this is cherokee ... ? it is a culture rich of community . it was tried to be extinguished . thank creator they have survived this genocide. a culture of keeping balance with the natural law. wo lo wacin washake, ate wankatanka nici un welo.

[9048560]

This movie shows absolutely no abuse aginst Indians at boarding schools. What a dumb title.

[Waggoner2010]

ya umm....the problem here is they were forced to go to school... that is the abuse.. they were forced to convert

[9048560]

Im just saying, my great uncles grew up on the rez and were treated like shit at the boarding schools, and this vid doesn't show what actually went on.

[Yonvadisi]

and can you make one that does show it?? NO ONE will ever know what the survivors went through. Most will not even discuss the issue much less will you find pictures to display the horrors. I think photos of dead and abused children say enough or are you so sadistic that you need to witness the actual beatings and abuse?? Dumb ass

[skecanj]

@Yonvadisi Osiyo. Keep the video up. The ones who know their history respect the reasons you put it up - and understand why you named it what you did.

[Clarissa1026]

@9048560 Hi, I thought the author of this video was saying it; it made me mad; the title should be in qutation marks.

[Constant2Virtue]

You have obviously made your choice, so be it

[Constant2Virtue]

Satan is a godless loveless one who worships self, hate, murder, all the things of satan, such as yourself

[Breetastic]

[ChanteEsti]

meanwhile your buffalo soldiers loved the praise they got from the white man for killing the native american. 'you speak like a canannite'

[jsmith986]

not called for! Just because someone's great grandfather killed your great grandfather doesn't mean you have to "smash my baby's head in"

[GODDAMEFAGS]

Over time native people might become better and prosper.

[animeisawesome1]

DODDAMEFAGS, dude, you called us savages but the way we lived the Gods we worshiped was civilized to us, you say we need to become better and prosper look at your savage ancistors that killed our people out of plesure and in the name of your god, hopfully overtime you will educate yourself to better yourself insted of making ignorant comments

[brainiacbelle]

Wow, so much for being a peaceful people. I see you guys have not grown and become better people than the people who originally enslaved you.

I'm not a devil, I'm a nice person who makes sure that they treat all people equally. I'm not rabid about bloodlines or religions. Your thoughts are racist and unhealthy and should be changed.

[ScoobsterG]

im sorry for my language but WTF?!?!?! let all that is Indian within us die? Im a full blooded Moose Cree native, and i completly disagree with what message your trying to spread, Its obvious that the Native in your heart has died, I just hope that the empty void in your soul isn't taken over by the White man's message.Destroying the Earth

[Yonvadisi]

I am also Native and if you know much about the boarding schools, the 'motto" was "Let all that is Indian within you die". This is an honor to those who died and those who survived the school. I hope you will rewatch the video with a different point of view at this time. I am one of those survivors along with others in my family and nothing has taken my soul that belongs to the white man. Thanks for your comment and concern but quite the opposite is true. Best Regards

[LordBLB]

I'm Sac (mesquakie) and Irish. Call me what you will, but I can feel the spirit of the Native people within my soul. From time to time I mourn the past. But there is no changing it. We must move forward together, and stop the hate.

Peace

[galaxygayle]

Keep speaking out...It is surprising how many white folks don't know anything about what bthe whites did to the natives... read " Bury my heart at wounded knee" it will open your eyes! Or basil Johnstons " School days" I am white but I read them and educated myself...I love the native people! My heart goes out to them and I would back them up anytime!

[boxlove11]

[nicolatwo]

Don't let the Native Indian in you die. It needs to be allowed to live and be creative. I love the Native Indian culture, art works, language and music.

[so1ange]

I expect you mean Native American, a native indian would come from India.

[nicolatwo]

Yes, Native American. You are right.

[RezGurl10]

oh my gosh that is bad wat they did

[GhostDog65]

One of this pics looked like Iraq and not Native American. The father holding his daughter up was not American but maybe a Arab?

[chasity28719]

it doesnt matter whethr he was NA or Arab...tha point is no child should be hurt!!!...it doesnt matter if ur white, brown, black, red, blue, or purple....IT SHOULDNT HURT TO B A CHILD...

[DRAGONFIRELL]

Your not being very realistic.

[RainxFeather]

I'm Lipan Apache, and this is very touching. Good for you for getting the truth out there!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

I, myself, am of Navajo descent, and I agree.

[HHDV]

Lets talk about the british and french priests who DID hand out smallpox blankets and used smallpox cultures in the "Holy Water" doing sick death baptisms against the parents wishes at the first schools.ITS DOCUMENTED FACT: MURDER TO"SAVE"THEIR SOULS.Sick and insane zombie worshipping christians need to face up.

The Bording School Priests were there to rape, A LOT!

Why do you think there is so much alcoholism and pain?!

I'm1/4Algonquin-if any of you need a pro videowebsitedone, free, contact me.

[nicolatwo]

For HHDV: I fully agree with you.

[CliveKoopa]

I am a white English man and I am absolutely sickened by the way indigenous people in the Americas have been treated and its been going on since 1492 and is still going on. I am glad the Mexica Movement has the courage to stand up and fight back against the Eurocentric crimes.

[chantelh55]

u can make us change our ways kill our men take our children n rape us woman but our spirits dont speak english our native pride will not die..

[ashtaykat]

I don't understand why children have to be hurt. It was wrong that this shit happened, I am very sad for the kids that have been abused, (I have three little kids) it hits close to home. I could never have imagined that this happened and is still happening to innocent human beings.

[ashtaykat]

the contrast in the video color is cool, they show the native peoples in color in their own dress and their culture, then they show black and white for them in the white schools it shows the emotion of the video, my favorite picture is the little girl at the begining the colors are cool. The government was wrong to treat other human beings this way, The government is always wrong and they are truly sinister.

[fortruthandlove]

They call upon the sacred name of the Most High.

[snoopycathy]

it was at the time when they came and took the children away from their parents to boarding school (the past) but still their is a lot of things going on today to the Native Americans and the Government will not stop it--they turn away and act like nothing is going on.

[charmedluver22]

is this abuse happening 2day or did it happen in the past? i hope in the past. and if now, it must stop! i am Cherokee (partly) and this hurts me deeply!

[blueghostohio]

hey you have the same blood as me ,the dead indians around here are still running around,they loved the land so much they never left even in death,i have seen them. the goverment people have sowed in death they will reep death, evil gets its own reward

[GhostDog65]

Why is this account dead/ blueghostohio? 2Nd account BS.

english plz o.O

[6generic6name6]

I am part native american, and these videos get to me alot b/c the other part of my race that i am not proud of caused all of their suffering.

[SWHawkJr]

Yonvadisi, you have outdone yourself on this one. Your videos touch me in such a way. Please keep them coming! I am not Native American and I had no part of what was done the Native American people however, I feel shame for my own race who allowed this to happen. There is such meaning in what you have put out here. Thank you!

[snoopycathy]

Wow--The way they did the Native Americans is wrong--and it is like a lot still do not think they did anything wrong!

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Who is "they"?

[snoopycathy]

The white man that send them to boarding schools where the Catholic priest abuse and use them for their own Pleasure,they was not allow to speak their own language,dress,their own way,they cut their hair,they could not worship their way,they were told to do it the white man's way,they use the name of God to do their dirty work they told them they was dirty and try to make them white!That is who "THEY" are and oh yeah,I am white-but not proud of it! THINK OF IT THIS WAY--WHAT IF THAT WAS YOU?

[jfontaine69]

see we need more white people like u in this world i find it hard enough trying to play basketball and still keep my culture but i do no matter what its me its native its pride

[charmedluver22]

i am not proud to be white either. well, part white. i am part cherokee and proud of my people!

[papermate94]

why arent u pround to be white? im white and part cherokee and im proud of both sides.

[charmedluver22]

i meant that i am not proud that whites, that they abused native americans, took their land, forced the Cherokee's on the Trail of Tears, shot them for just being native americans, took their children away to teach them to be like us, and punished the children they took away if they spook their own language instead of english. but i am proud of both sides. there were some good whites back then who befriended the native americans, and were nice to them. does that answer your question?

[brainiacbelle]

It's not the 'white man''s fault. It's the catholic church's fault. All of your anger is misdirected. I don't like this kind of reverse racism towards white people. It's unfair to tar us all with the same brush as odd religious people, who happened to have caucasian skin. White people are not that, most certainly in the UK. I dislike this violent hatred of people with caucasian skin ...I think you guys might have learned a thing or two because of your history. I mean this respectfully.

[Constant2Virtue]

and satan worshippers like this historyof thechosen devil

[curatrix2008]

@snoopycathy well, indian men on the reservations are molesting & incesting indian children at an alarming rate. Instead of clinging to a real or imagined rape from 60 years ago, WTF you going to do to save your children today.

.

indians put all their energy, creativity & soul embracing enlarging & milking the status of VICTIM - it justifies the vile filth & violence they heap on other indians & busy them so they don't have to be responsible for abuse, domestic violence & rape on the res
