@MISSYAQUIHEAD American natives people like to mix that is the problem and dont speak and teach theri language. AND ARE TO SHY. native american are also rfom asia but they were first in america. The native women like to have white men or african, how will u keep your culture, look at asian indians..
wow this is just like a native american carnival...sell your culture like dancing monkeys to the poeple that killed and raped you ...dance lil monkeys dance.....sellouts
@adnihilis I honestly cannot even believe your gall in making a comment like that. You've never lived on the Cherokee reservation, you have no ties to the people whatsoever beyond bloodline, and you have no understanding whatsoever about the intricacies of the tribal government and customs. The Cherokee are not the ones diminishing their culture. People like you, who expect the Cherokee people to behave a certain way, are completely responsible for that.
@adnihilis I'm no more of an Indian than you are. And you've completely disregarded everything I've just said. So let me say it again. The Cherokee people have the RIGHT to establish a vibrant tourist industry using any means that they deem necessary. They are doing it to lift their OWN people up out of poverty and they are doing it quite successfully, even if they have a long way to go yet. You should probably not criticize them for that.
@adnihilis You're not a real Cherokee Indian. You're a fake and you've abandoned your roots and decided to criticize "your" people for what you have perceived to be backwardness. Btw, every single Cherokee citizen of the Qualla boundary gets a dividend from the Harrah's Casino MONTHLY. You don't have any right to criticize the Cherokee people for investing in tourism.
@jboyd0104 If you mean I'm not real because I don't know my culture, well, it wasn't by choice. I was given up for adoption and raised in a typical American household (well, typical of the culture, not the parenting). I didn't abandon anything. I never had the privilege of growing up with my culture around me. I don't criticize the Cherokees living there for "backwardness" as you put it. I feel like others are exploiting the culture for some McDonalds-esque white thrill. (continued)
@jboyd0104 I mean, shops selling turquoise? How is that Cherokee? Teepee Village? Neon signs and water slides with green-tinted water? How are they dignifying or even relevant to the heritage? It makes sense at Disneyland, but not on the ancestral land of our people. I don't want to think in terms of "real" Indians and "unreal." We don't need any more division with that sort of arbitrary distinction. May I ask if YOU are Indian?
aztecs, mayans, toltecs, native americans and more were all a nation, they were mexico, all the american continent (from south to north) was MEXICO.... i just cant believe how the people from other countries came to just destroy a beautiful country, beatuful traditions, and they just did it for gold land and more.......well like karma: "what goes around, comes around" and they'll pay for what they've done...
@mellyvel3 It was called Amexem and you did not include the Moors who are the Red Man Father go to the ancient burial grounds in West Virginia and the mummies are just like Egyptian, Ethiopian and Abbyssinian. The Mississippi is the Nile River of North America and had 100's of Pyramids on their banks.
@pikacho0o I think you should reread what I said because you r response doesn't show you grasp what i was tring to say. I stated that that there were more than my tribe represented there and so didthe comercial amd I said that my tribe was NOTshown in the commercial until the last shot in the red and black paint. and the name was not mentioned until then as well and that is the basis of my comment.
I have a question why the heck are all these other tribes theere if it is named after my tribe? and my tribe is shown in the comercial? why is it that all these every other tride was named in the comercial but mine and then the commercial ended by saying my tribes name but as the tittle. bs.
i think you need to calm down. many more tribes other than just the cherokee are represented there at that festival, and the cherokee were not the only ones shown in that commercial.
@pikacho0o pt2 1. why were all the other tribes named except the tribe the place is named after 2. why weren't they shown, until the last frame. and I wasn't mad it's a legitamte question
I spent a day in Cherokee. As a city-Indian, raised in someone else's environment, I'd never had any direct contact with my own heritage. When I made the trek here, I was dismayed at what I saw. Neon signs. Colored-water theme parks. Stores with stereotypical trinkets from other tribes than the Cherokee. It's our reservation, not an attraction for white people to gawk at like it's Disneyland. It made me literally cry, and heh, I never cry. THIS was what happened to my homeland?
@adnihilis Loll I don't know if you saw those native with the black paints but black paints means DEATH, and I think they know that our ( cause I'm a descendant from the native too ) is dying... A little more everyday, we need to go back to our roots and try to rebuild all that.
@adnihilis 'Siyo. The Cherokee Reservation in NC did what they had to do to survive. Unfortunately, most tourists know nothing, and sadly, most of them still don't care. Despite this, the tourism and the deal with Harrah's Casino has improved lives on the Qualla Boundary. They've been able to improve education, healthcare and are now reviving our culture. Take another trip sometime. :)
@Ravingloon42 Improved, you say? I REALLY hope so. I really do. It's been five years since I made it out there. I'd like to come back and see what I've been missing my entire life and not just another gaudy Disneyland. The city-Indian is the loneliest person, in a manner of speaking.
@adnihilis I am so sick of these (and similar) criticisms of the Cherokee people. Tourism has effectively lowered Cherokee's status as the poorest county in North Carolina to the 40th (out of 100) in only a few years. As a "city-Indian" you would do well to respect the fact that the tribal government of Cherokee willfully determined to invest in tourism and it has been extremely effective in lifting their (your?) people out of poverty.
@jboyd0104 And where is that money being spent? Who gets to see the profit, the folk who actually live there (in the trailers just outside the "commercial" district)? Into education and jobs? And I don't mean the service staff at those "attractions" or the casino. It's fairly easy to think of it as a boon when your own culture isn't on the verge of disappearing into a footnote in a history book. I, for one, don't like seeing a mockery of my homeland with little to do with the actual culture
@adnihilis Take a ride out Big Cove road and take a good look at the school that was just built and you will see where the money goes. Alabama B co. 2/1 196th LIB 1970-71 RVN
@kyletango I don't live near North Carolina but rather 3000 miles away. I can't, but I'll take your word for it. I'd like to think that education gets a major focus for the people of the reservation.
@adnihilis I'd have to agree with you. I mean, where is a traditional and authentic Native American civilization? Where are the villages, different tribal locations? Now it sort of turned out to be a tourist attraction. Yes it is all marvelous, but at the same time, those Native Americans who want to get in touch with their heritage( such as moi) feel like that old Native American traditions are gone. It is really sad :(
@Charity17022 That's pretty much the rub, there. I went to Cherokee SPECIFICALLY to reconnect with my culture, to go to the homeland. I mean, every other people here in America can go back to a home nation and experience their culture, but we Natives have only our reservations to find that. Walking through the town, I only saw white families. Going into the shops, I spoke with a few Natives...from other tribes. They weren't Cherokee, themselves. I felt alone on my own ancestral soil.
@adnihilis Aw, that really sucks. :( But I'm sure that somewhere there are places that are still authentic and genuine. Just the next time you hear about a main attraction or something, it's mainly for tourists, not a traditional native American society. You'll find one one day :)
@Charity17022 I appreciate the thought. At least the one thing I can say is that my pseudo-unique position has allowed me to truly view race and culture with a more objective eye, and I can appreciate diversity far more than perhaps otherwise. In a sense, all my friends and relations are multi-racial, and I judge individuality, not congenital traits. Still, one can never escape wanting to celebrate one's roots, be they family or heritage.
@adnihilis I too grew up away from my heritage, but have discovered it and love it. True, some NA's have been reduced to steriotypes but look deep inside and see that the old ways are still here. Pow wows aren't the best place, but they still hold traditional dances and songs. There are still Medicine Men and they still practice the old ways. Our people are not dead, Native Americans wether full blooded to 1/31% are still alive and love their heritage. The Native People are not dead.
@adnihilis i went to "American Indian" museum in washington and it ws so horrible to see all the white tourists smiling and taking pics as if this were some great enjoyable event. They ruined everything stole everythng it ws one of the saddest thngs / places ive evr been.
@Kingpinn24 theres nothing wrong with smiling and taking photos at a museum. have you ever thought that MAYBE they were fascinated & happy at what they saw? unclenched those ass cheeks.
@adnihilis would you mind if I as a white person.. not born in the USA, came on holiday to the USA, and wanted to see some Native Americans, I thought most of you was exstinct, but it would be amazeing to see that your culture is still around in 2012? if it still is, the last of the mohicans was a great film about your people. I would like to learn more about your kind if it is still possible.
@WorldFrontlineMedia There are not "EXTINCT." It's it the way they live that is EXTINCT simply because of Modern Tech. Which i totally hate.. But there isn't a choice is there?
@alacranese the Aztecs are dead. But their descendants are the nahuatl speakers from the valley of central Mexico. Besides, the Aztecs didn't call themselves that, it was a name given to them by the Spaniards. They called themselves the "Mexica", hence the name "Mexico". It's alright if you want to rescue your heritage, I applaud you, but do some history research. Where are your parents from in Mexico? Once you find out, you can be more specific about your indigenous heritage.

There is some tribes out in NC that is currently attempting to use other tribe's names. these tribes are claiming tribes which they are NOT part of and then refusing the REAL descendants membership. These tribes are currently trying to get federal recognition using a name and heritage which is NOT theirs :(
