  • like this song.

  • This is a good song

  • If my mother is half how much am i

  • @sk8terdiva 1/4, depending on if there is any Native American blood on your father's side.

  • My heart sores like a hawk when I hear this song.

  • Born of immigrants i found such fascination when we went on scouting trips to native American sites. A few miles away (Mt Vernon, AL), was where Geronimo was supposedly held prisoner.

    i confess i cant tell 1 tribe from another if my life depended on it but the mystique of their ways intrigues me.

    i hope that one day they will be again be a free people, the land that is rightfully theirs returned & we all live in peace side by side. Dont forget those that were here first!!

    boy jerry

  • Clearly he's saying Cherokee Tribe

  • Wampanoag People, Wampanoag Tribe!

  • cherokee flag 7 points on its star= The GREAT Spirit Seven Thunders and the pagan tree goddess of INDIAN A calls herself the spirit of indiana known by her 8 point star of destiny thus putting herself in the place of blasphemy in place of YAHU-WAH-SHU-WAH in the midst of the promised land of the chosen ones by the true master of LIFE immortal. OH YAH CHEROKEE NATION WILL RETURN restored NO MATTER WHAT paul REVERE syas. ya dig? revere shall be reversed and Over turned.

  • the trail of tears is something that should be taught in all american history classes. Somthing you will not find in 99% of textbooks is what happend to the Germans AFTER ww2. My grandparents surrvived communist death camps in Ukraine and Serbia people were being mass murderd by the 10s OF MILLIONS including my ancestors. But do you hear about it NO YOU DONT its a got damn shame that the Soviets kept everything a secret. All i hear about is the "Jewish" holocaust IT IS NOT THEE HOLOCAUST !!!!!!!

  • cherokee pride from my moms side of the family. btw since my grandmas grandfather was full blood how much does that make me

  • im creek but i know the feeling im one fourth woop woop!! the other threefourths are german!!

  • EXCELLENT!! I LOVE IT you did a superb job on this video. This song is my favorite because it tells the truth about america and how it was for the greatest race on this plant The American Indian.

  • haha i wana c any one with indian blood to give up internet and technology to go wear buffalo skin and bust their ass making everything by hand. everyone needs to quit fucking crying bout history every race has been fucked over and native americans arewerent the worst. o and stop calling em fucking indians that was cuz the thought they were in india jesus go to school

  • sometimes I am ashamed to be American. I can only apologize for the atrocities committed against all the nations of Native Americans by the forefathers who were responsible.

  • @Lordie2099

    Many in America have forgotten about the Native Americans. Thank you for your kind comment.

  • Skip this ad NOW!

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't there other tribes apart from the Cherokee in America than met the same fate? If so, why do the Cherokee seem to be the most vocal, and what were the fates of the other tribes?

  • @ignas1130 Because their name is the easiest for white people to pronounce and therefore claim false heritage.

  • @fizzypopism Uhhh not really. In fact, the 5 Civilized Tribes are actually easy to say. Come on.... one of them is Seminole!!!! The reason is the Cherokee had more treaties with the US government, had assimulated more than the others, unlike the Seminoles did not declare war and instead tried to go the legal route. Then despite the state saying it went against the US Constitution Jackson ordered their removal.Then came the Trail of Tears.

  • I heard this song on malcom in the middle and I liked it so I watched this

  • God Be Blessed For Cherokee.

    

  • Hi There, I heard this song on the Radio at the laundramat today, this is a COOL song.

  • @TheBalloonjoe1963

    God be blessed for Cherokee

  • F$#k u people, only thing cherokke I inherited was being a drunk in AA. Dad had it, brother and sister have it and so do I.

  • With all due respect, You are reading history written by the victorious conqurers who claimed Manifest Destiny. There are still many cherokee, but a shadow of the former. There are also Souix and others who are not feeling particularly fortunate. Go to the reservation. This is true.

  • I don't know very much about the Cherokee Nation, but I do know about the American Nation, and it is a good Nation, even though it's not always done the right thing. The Cherokee are fortunate that they were allowed to continue to exist and to pass on their traditions. Many peoples of the world when conquered are for the most part destroyed as a people; their way of life and culture completely wiped out. It is good that this did not happen to the Cherokee people.

  • @yonvadisi you are a wiener face

  • @Yonvadisi i never said I had any. i was just stating a fact.

  • President Obama has 1/16 Cherokee. His maternal great grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee.

  • @MizzMeaganW fuck cherokee people,the damn indian war has beenover for over 100yrs and those injuns still getting free food free medicine and a damn reservation to lay their heads,wow what a bunch of free loaders sucking up the damn money from the government. maybe we should have wiped their asses out then the govt would be able to save some money

  • @vernontrumpet2000 without their asses, your ass would not be here Maam!

  • This song makes me feel like a dick

  • cherokee people do you really have this many black people in the tribe

  • @pistolpete667 There are all colors in the Cherokee tribe. Cherokee men and women have intermixed as many people of all nationalities have. There is not one color of ANY people anymore.

  • iroquois > cherokee. my iroquois ancestors, however distant they may be likely kicked half of your cherokee ancestors ass's up and down the eastern US. the cherokee were pussies.

  • @conday1990 Then why are we the largest tribe,and the most recognised when barely anybodys heard of your asses?

  • @conday1990 so much for your native pride huh?

  • My great-great grandfather, Johnson Ketcher, was the first full-blooded Cherokee to serve as a Deputy Marshall! His father, Tah-ne-yun-ta (Running Deer), my great-great-great grandfather, was a Trail of Tears survivor. I am proud of my heritage!

  • @CherokeeHeritage And you really do have a lot to be proud of. Eternal respect to all Native Tribes of America!

  • @CherokeeHeritage So is every1 else dude. So is every1 else.

  • @CherokeeHeritage as well as you should be god bless you

  • @CherokeeHeritage So am I, my friend.

  • LMAO them

  • @MizzMeaganW Fine. We'll leave it at that. Good day to you...

  • @MizzMeaganW Keep talking asswipe..you don't know when to quit.

  • @MizzMeaganW Seriously? I don't give a rats ass if I offended you..couldn't careless. So shut the hell up and just leave it alone. Goodbye.

  • @MizzMeaganW Keep coming with it, fuckwad. I'll be here to respond. Because I'm not putting up with fuckin pieces of shit like you talking crap on me, that's why I commented back. Fucking dykes like you make me sick. I've put up with too many bitches today. Stupid mother fucker.

  • @MizzMeaganW Ahh shut the fuck up bitch ass. I'm not in the mood today to put up with any shit. FROM ANYONE. White, black, Indian, purple, green, I don't give a shit. Just get off my back you fucking cunt. Not today.

  • I am not a Native American, but I fully support the Cherokee people!!

  • Because the pity party you Native Americans are having is sickening. And to answer the question "Will you ever get it back"? No. This is now the USA. Modern day is here to stay, FOREVER.

  • @LuigiLaker And not one person would be here WITHOUT the Native Americans ... had they not fed the white man when they first came over (the first case of welfare) then they would have starved to death.

  • Give it a rest, natives. If it weren't for us "awful Europeans", we'd fucking still be living in tee-pees!! I get so tired of all the bitching by the Indians. Be thankful you're not all dead. All the modern creations of today are courtesy of the white man.

  • @LuigiLaker Ha Ha, you have much to learn little one!

  • @Yonvadisi Little one? Lol, I'm 27 years old, douchebag. Get serious, idiot.

  • @LuigiLaker lol I was being serious, your comment was that of a child's intelligence my bad! HA HA

  • @Yonvadisi You're a fucking butt-hurt little retard. Period. Goodbye.

  • @LuigiLaker HA HA Run Forrest Run!

  • I have a personal issue with anyone who says that the united states is guilty of genocide/attempted genocide.

  • @KazakageoftheSand then you have issues with American history period, this country was built on genocide of MANY people.

  • @Yonvadisi oh really? give me some fucking examples you sod

  • @KazakageoftheSand you really need a history lesson. Start with the genocide of the Native American people and go from there.

  • @Yonvadisi i told you to give another fucking example and you can't, probably because there isn't one

  • Praise Yahowah

  • @MyRuben64 um there r only 2 things from texas ands that's steers and queers and I don't think u have horns so u must be a queer

  • @Mr Combat veteran I am shaking in my boots, i have herd this before,when i was in T.D.C ... even if you are a level 3 in jujitsu does not mean you can kick my ass.. Have fought men that could wipe the floor with these martial arts guys.. were do you live ? I live in east Texas ..You tell me this thinking it would scare me.. sometimes you have to put up or shut up..

  • @MrCombatveteran behind a computor screen you say this.. would like to meet you in person..

  • It's Cheerokee People, Cheerokee Tribe yet i'm proud to be Cheerokee from my fathers side of his family

  • @Bigstarrocker9 your right, the song is but the video is Cherokee People, Cherokee Pride

  • @Bigstarrocker9 you are correct, that is the name of the song but the name of the video is Cherokee People, Cherokee Pride .... glad you have pride in your native heritage, learn all you can about it and pass it on to your children.

  • We don't gamble. That said, will support the first nations however and whenever we can! Through Music, Singing, and Art! Austrian, Ukranian, American!

  • I have some cherokee blood in me :) I don't know if that makes me part of the tribe, but I'm proud to have some blood in me!

  • Interesting how if we look at the WHOLE picture, it all fits ONE way or another?

  • my grand mother was half cherokee, and i would knock the hell out of any cherokee that belittle someone because they were not full bloooded.. you are know better than anyone else...

  • This is the most awsome story of the Cherokee Tribe was treated. So Sad.

  • @MrCombatveteran your heritage? the majority of the rest of your blood is yor heritage!!! just because yor 1/16 or whatever native u arent a native u are a want to be cherokkee. i know some full blood cherokkes that would spit on the fact that u call yourself native. are u even enrolled in the tribe. i highly doubt that the ancestors of cherokee would accept the fact that yor u call yorself native. they would have probably scalped u. and wear yor scalp as a victory patch.

  • I suggest other tribes should cut the right for individual people who call themselves native or say they have native blood if they hold LESS then 1/4 native

  • I respect all true natives but I don't know how Cherokee people can accept people who say they are Cherokee just because there great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparent was 1/4 Cherokee (u get the point) that is fucking ridiculous. I'm a full blood Navajo my dad is full Navajo and my mom is full blood, and my ancestors before that even my great great great great great great great great....etc(lol) i speak my native tongue and practice my tradition

  • @VryDeranged I don't call myself necessarily a cherokee. My Great Great Grandmom was a full blood Cherokee and it's clearly noticeable in my grandparents and their brothers and sisters. Also my cousins look pure cherokee. The looks passed over me though. I am white, as was my mom and dad. I do consider myself of Cherokee blood and Ancestry. My Great Great Grandmom helped found my town. She was the first one to buy from the traders set up here.

  • Dedicated to my great great great Grandma Morning Brit. I am proud to have the Cherokee in my blood line and wish to learn more and make Morning Brit proud of me and my son.

  • the Cherokee Nation may return but it will not come by casinos or any other white mans ways. Turn UP the volume.

  • I think it's degrading for the Cherokee when a clearly white person says they have a "Cherokee Princess" in their family. SMH!

  • @turnandburn4life Im one of the whitest skinned people youd meet, cousin once said only edward sissorhands was paler. but you can see the cherrokee in me. i dont know anything about any cherrokee princess, but i do know my great great grandmother was full cherrokee.

  • @kaldicuct Well i'm saying this because i was once told by this boy who was white as white could get, blue eyes, white blonde hair and a small nose, saying that his grandfather was a full Cherokee. I just don't see it. "Cherokee Princess" is a term supposedly used by white men refering to their Cherokee wife, but what people today don't realize is Cherokee's, and Natives in general, didn't have kings, queens, so with out a king or queen, you can't have a princess?

  • @turnandburn4life lol, ive made that same aurgument. i say, name me 1 cherrokee king. when they cant i say, so how can there be a princess? how i look it is im my face, beard *i cant grow a full one i have 2 slices out of it on both sides* and while i was younger my hair was blonde, but now is brown. Luna a friend of mine commented on my jawline saying i looked like i had scottish in me because of my strong jaw. i dont know for sure. i know ive got just about everything in me though :P

  • @kaldicuct Well Natives also have broad faces and jaw lines so that could be why.

  • @turnandburn4life possible. but like i said, you can look at me and tell who I came from.

  • @turnandburn4life especially since there was no royalty in the Cherokee Nation!

  • I will stand with these people. I have always had much respect for Native Americans. I will stand with them to take back America! These people should be real pissed!

  • its cheroke people, cheroke tribe

  • @pieluver241 you are correct as far as the song goes but the video is named Cherokee People, Cherokee Pride!

  • I am also an Indian but from India  :D

  • I am also of Cherokee descent from my Paternal great gramps, and this vid is kick-ass, and what white people did to Native Americans is frowned upon us and other Native Americans. FUCK WHITE PEOPLE!!

  • @dafranx YEA FUCK WHITEY... I SAY THAT AS A WHITEY FUCK THOSE WONDERBREAD AS CRACKAZZ THAT RULE THE WORLD... yea

  • @dafranx Rot in hell, fucker. Did it happen to you? NO. God loves all the same, and He sure as hell doesn't hold a grudge against the Caucasians. This is exactly what I mean by, whiny, bitch ass Native Americans. I hope you're not all like this. But yeah, keep crying. "Oh woah is me, I hate the bad old white men for hurting us" BOO F'N HOO!

  • its tribe not pride stupid

  • @MrHerps123 well you are correct about the song but the NAME of the video is Cherokee People, Cherokee Pride STUPID

  • this is 1 kick ass song

    nuff said such a cool people

  • ever notice that somehow alot of black people are part cherokee. but theyre probably all bullshit

  • 0:31 Cherokee men are beautiful (:

    

  • im part cherokee this makes me sad

  • ROFL You want an apology and reparations from the US Government ---- EPIC FAIL

  • @ICEBURNEDHAWK it is not funny it is a serous matter

  • @ICEBURNEDHAWK Not one thing was said about any of that from this video, just thank goodness the Indians fed your people when they came across on the boat ... if they hadn't you would not be here.

  • yup tough shit . n u wont get so dont expect an apology. its true natives have had a rough shake then and unfortunately for a good part now as well. but i can tell ya what wont make it better is by hating the country, the people and the government around you. i dont no if any one ever told ya but life aint fair, o u rolled snake eyes and want ur money back to bad. take it on the chin, suck it up, work hard, gain some self respect. pride isnt respect, pride is vanity

  • NEVER EVER FORGET!!!!

  • Interesting thing I experienced. I'm sure we all know the prejudice that exists between blacks and whites. Half black and white kids have problems being accepted by EITHER race. Not so among cherokees. I had mentioned to some cherokees at one point that I am 1/32nd. I expected them to laugh and say I am a white man. I got surprised. I was instantly accepted among them (at my word) and told "one drop of cherokee blood makes you one of us".

  • @kanaede that's pretty awesome. so i guess i'm good with 1/16th?

  • Registry was required of all indians, but it was usually only enforceable on indians who were on a reservation.  Indians scattered abroad, or married into a white or black family rarely refistered or even had a way of knowing they needed to. The majority of %cherokee people who have NO proof of it IS higher than those that can. Logically it would be. I'm 1/32nd cherokee. I can't prove it though. My ancestor that was full blooded cherokee never registered.

  • Something that came up often here in this discussion is people claiming to be cherokee and others saying they have no right to make the claim. In fact Cherokees interbreeding with Europeans AND Africans was VERY common. The cherokees were a docile and peaceful tribe for the most part. Some of us can PROVE cherokee ancestry through the DAWES REGISTRY. It isn't unusual as well though for many of us to have cherokee ancestors that never registered.

  • I see my grandmother in those faces lol. She looks more cherokee than me. I'm mostly german though. My grandma's grandma or grandpa was 100% cherokee. So my grandma would be 1/4 cherokee. That means I'm 1/16 cherokee. I live in upstate new york, but the nongerman side of my family came from outwest (and before that the cherokee homeland).

  • @thepenetrator2006

    You are sick!

  • God Bless the Cherokee people and all the once great Native Americans. As a Jew my people were in the same boat 60 yrs ago. Have pride in your remarkable culture. Be Proud of who you are! I have always admired you. Shalom from Israel.

  • @kithp

    Osiyo!

    We still endure hate speech today. I am constantly attacked for being a Cherokee / Blackfoot.

    Thank you (WADO) for the kind comment!

  • @cbarsonfire Terrible are the people who hate, Your culture is a beautiful one. During my travels in Arizona, South Dakota and other states I witnessed much indian culture and heritage, even heard radio stations in native languages. I was sad to see the sorry state of some of your people in a few places. Take back your pride! You are special! Shalom/Osiyo Toda/Wado

  • It seems each ethnicity has, or will have its own Trail of Tears.

  • My family is mostly spanish from spain but i also carry black foot indian in my blood and i find it wrong what happened to them the TRUE americans who were on this lad long before "whites" were. now dont get me wrong when the spanish came they did do harm but it was the whites who did most of the damage and also when you think about it arent we here on the indians land illegaly?

  • and thus the United States government is guilty of attempted genocide. and before yall get pissy that is exactly what it was I know in my heritage I have the blood of the cherokee, the welsh princes, the mestizo mexican, and possibly that of the gypsy and I am immensely proud of my heritage I will not trade it for anything because you know what people are just people the color of your skin or the shape of your body has nothing to do with it

  • and thus the United States government is guilty of attempted genocide

  • @theranchboy The current govt?

  • @gladefoam not the current gov read up on the trail of tears in detail some time

  • @theranchboy

    ABSOLUTELY!!!! Only the guilty know what their "wrong" is, and that is why they suddenly make themselves the "Police". Interesting, yet so simple.

  • @theranchboy As the WISE TREAL Indians stated when the European CRIMINALS came to this WILDERNESS said, "The White Man will be their own undoing". (Let us recognize the TRUTH, Pilgrims (religious freedom people) came first, but they died out and went back and the rest of the US HISTORY was built from PRISONERS hands, minds and artistry.... And here we are today.... Sorry LOT that has contaminated and condemned the rest of the world.

  • @theranchboy ALL governments are guilty of genocide and attempted genocide.history proves it and while man desires to dominate man...it will continue.

  • @sesabio men wanting to dominate is natural, enjoy the natural chaos....what i dont like is the people who dont stand up to themselves...the only diff is that diff people follow diff peoples chaos....

  • @dasdasist i dont enjoy chaos and when i can i defend myself.also i am not a follower of human beings because unfortunately all human beings want to do is cause chaos(lol).its an endless cycle which i know will come to an end very soon.

  • @sesabio me and you know theres only one way to end the human filth madness...i really dont care about the human race anymore...our existance is a cancer a plague a disease of hypocritical bullshit...when we all die out the universe will move on

  • @sesabio me and you know theres only one way to end the human filth madness...i really dont care about the human race anymore...our existance is a cancer a plague a disease of hypocritical bullshit...when we all die out the universe will move on, oh and did i say this song is sweet?

  • i date extremely attractive women. how many times have they came home and said a truck load of illegals were making lude gestures to them at a stop lihjt. funny, they never come home and say a clean cut white guy in a nice car was sticking his tongue between his fingers and saying expletives. hmmm. lower standard of people period. alpha and omega. u guys keep foolin yourselves.

  • @DLynch35 why do you immediately assume everyone that doesnt happen to have the same skin tone as yourself is in the U.S. illegally.

  • i spelled the way i did intentionally brainiac. they are uncivilized. the complex i currently live in is hosted by predominately illegals. i mind my business and they their's. the parking lot daily is littered with fast food bags, cups, wraps etc.  there are beer bottles/cans on the ground as well. the public schools are swarmed with hispanic kids in uniforms with their khakis pulled down and their ass cracks showing. they have no intention on education themselves and have 20 children.

  • Its a real shame what was done to the Indians im part Cherokee my self.

    and its a stain on the american flag the blood of the Indians

  • hahahaha this songs retarded

  • @Dlynch35, why do YOU feel so entitled? Did this land not once live in harmony without boarders before them white fucks arrived on THIER BOATS? Was it not ILLEGAL to MURDER people by the masses, women, children AND elderly? I lived in TX for 3 yrs, let me tell you what I saw in Houston! Them "undocumented" people hustling to survive! The documented holding signs at freeway exits begging for money! And they've been here for how many generations? Examine who the inferior REALLY are. Learn 2 SPELL!

  • good song tho....

  • I also have Cherokee Blood in me. But what the fucking white man did was Wrong!!

    I have this great belief that some day the white man will pay for what they did!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ur gonna hate me for this bro/ma'am but they were a weak species of humans. the spanish settlers/conquerors came and had sex with them and hence we have "mexicans". i live in texas and they are comin over by the boat load illegally and trash our city of houston and bring their 3rd world culture here and act entitled while they are here illegally. refuse to conform to our standards and language and really pretty much are just an inferior breed of people. kinda like dalmations to the k9 world.

  • @DLynch35 I don't hate you, but your comment reflects incredible ignorance. You obviously do not know the word "species" means. Saying "weak species of humans" makes no scientific sense. There is one human species. Species in biology refers to creatures capable of producing biological offspring with each other. All humans are capable of producing viable offspring with each other.

    I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "weak" either. Most Mexicans I know are very physically strong.

  • @DLynch35 -: THE ONLY BLUE BLOODS OF AMERICA ARE THE NATIVE AMERICANS - FORGET ABOUT MAYFLOWER THEY ARE WHITE TRASH-: AND OH YES THE SPANISH ARE ALSO HALF-BREEDS AND THE MEXICANS HAVE STRONG TIES WITH NATIVE AMERICAN WHICH GOES BACK CENTURIES, THAN YOUR FUCKING FAMILY- YOU ASSHOLE

  • This was their land, and as for as I am concerned, it should have stayed theirs !

  • Lol i had to sing this in class today

  • nice song but its *TRIBE! not pride but wado

  • The sign they used to write the words "Welcome Cherokee Indian Reservation" is large enough to hold a school or a small hospital... Way to waste the earth fucking white man

  • @MrSmellybutt No shit,,, we should have let them have all the land that was thiers in stead of polluting it and rapeing it to the state it is in now. Know one knows how to waist land money or power more then the (white-man) I am all white in blood but all red man inside!

  • this is a beautiful song and i think moree people should here it... an i hope one day tha CHEROKEE nation willl return...i hate tha fact that most of us cherokee decendants cant even speak our own native language...its not fair.

  • ITS CHEROKEE TRIBE NOT PRIDE! tu es bete!

  • Love it! This song has great meaning to it. It makes me proud to be a American Indian.

  • im whitie and im sorry about what my people did to yours, but now this land we bouth love is being invated by mexacans and sand niggers i say he put our hate aside and fight off the invaters and live in peace just the two of us

  • @sXeboi666 How you can from one side of your mouth bemoan what "your people" did to ours and yet spew hate and insults about other people from the other side is beyond stupidity. Your parents must be real proud of the idiot they have raised

  • How the hell do you say "Okay, we're going to kill a bunch of Native Americans, and then put the rest on one tiny corner of land. Oh, they're not all the same group? Fuck it, just stick them there." Appalling and disgusting and shameful.

  • every word in this song is true to its word

    thanks for posting.

  • ME TA SO

    Cherokee People, Cherokee Pride

    WADO

    Behold us

    Behold them

  • This song just makes me HAPPY ! We really should have more Native Americans in gov't because this country would be so much better.

  • This song was made because this guy was a singer and his car broke down. Then the native's walked by and ganged up on him. And the guy pleeded until they said " You write a song about the cherokeke and we fix your car " so he said " yes " and he drove off. As he kept his word, and made this song. As he gave it too the Paul Revere and the Raider's they sang it. It was on the radio's and became quite popular. I learned that in history. I love this song.

  • u know what we were mean to the cherokee but natave americans were fuckin mean as fuck too they did rais held kids prisoner killed white people just the same

  • @Kayoss90 so r u tryna compensate for wut white people did?

  • @Kayoss90 you do realize different races have different beliefs, and just because the british decided to push their beliefs on others, doesnt make others in the wrong

  • @Kayoss90 They learned by example and if you are under the impression that Native people were just bloodthirsty and killed innocents then you should take a moment and google 'The Sand Creek Massacre" Now that is an example of the white man at his murdering best.

  • I like the video, but u really think their gonna return? That's not gonna happen so idk why u put "only u can change it"

  • I'm part Shoshone. Fuck the Cherokee them damn savages.

  • @GohModley Cherokees were actually one of the "five civilized tribes" in the 1820s. They had land, farms, plantations, and some actually owned slaves. Only in 1828 did Georgia deem them illegal and took their land.

  • @danteandme2 Zardoz!

  • @GohModley , Anger and resentment much? Just because your great grandpa got gang raped by a passing war party of Shoshone does not make you one

  • I am cherokee, yet you make me feel ashamed. I have gotten by in the modern world. my people I am proud of. I am cherokee and I live here in the modern societry.

  • Im only 1/8 Cherokee but i will never forget the Trail of Tears and all the sorrow my ancestors endured and everytime i hear this song i cry but im glad this song is out there and that it makes other people learn and realise what happened and it keeps the message out there . Thank you Yonvadisi for putting it up

  • @weskamo I recently come to find out that my ancestors were in the trail of tears. One of the ancestors was a Cherokee princess! I am VERY proud of my heritage and very proud of any of my brothers that stand up for whats right! Cherokee (or any other tribe) WILL survive and hold thier pride!!!!

  • @weskamo I'm only 1/16th and I will never forget the Trail of Tears.

  • @weskamo

    I have some Cherokee heritage too, and whenever I read the story or see a video of it, I burst into tears, as if I was there. I seemed to know the story before it was told to me

  • @weskamo the indians that inhabited the americas before europeans had killed off an earlier indian race that killed an earlier indian race. there were 3 indian migrations from asia and each killed off the previous (except in rare instances found in remote areas of south america). so why was it ok for indians to kill off indians the only thing different was the europeans had guns and horses. no reason to hate europeans, they did EXACTLY the same thing that the indians were already doing

  • How sad this is...
