NATIVE POWER!!! We have to fight for the rights and protection of our people,culture,ways of life and WHO THE HELL WE ARE! I am a proud strong Native American Indian of the Tsalagi and Zapotec People.
@TheBBQPope most people cant tell the difference who I am ,I am Native I look like a white man.I dont try to act white or disregard my Native background,I defend my nationality as native and all Natives.
i am not native by birth but by heart name my given name is /windDancer Rainwolf .. granted from my navajo brother and my fiance is cherokee kree ( spelt wrong probly sorry) and he wants to find his past and i want to help him
I'm so thankful for getting a scholarship this year from The American Indian College Fund, it really does help out a lot. Thank You :-) -Justin H. @Fond Du Lac Tribal & Community College, MN
whyy cant all the imigrants just go back to there original countrys and let us be and live the way we use too. when we didnt need money to survive cuz money is evil..
Its really sad to watch this and cant get bo help from the Tribe and any funds or nothing. But ill just say i did it and Im Apache from WhiteRvier and i can make it on my own with out help. I will overcome Alone! Just really sad to watch this.
if Shoni wants to "make it" then your going to have to play at college level game not high school. There is a difference. This is the way to hone your positives and shed your neg's in your skill. it will be tougher than high school, harder mentally too. Decide you won't give up when it gets tough.
@TheBBQPope do you think it will take even that long? I think most of the people on reserves in Canada have white blood and most whites who come from certian areas like where I came from the superior region are part native....and in fact you can't tell them apart some times from those areas....they say it is likely that 40% of whites in that area are not full blooded...I know I am not!
this is the truth.. alcohol was the first thing that happen. now it is the T.V. shows and the video games if they don't have that is is the alcohol and drugs. now some elders are giving up of talking about the tradition not all but most of them.
@Waxfiretape and so because you have a member you use that as a excuse? The power of a man is not in his member! Maybe your are a 13 year old boy who knows nothing, I do not know, But I do know that women are so much more than an sexual object that the present mainstream teaches. To me this women is so much younger than me yet I hold her in my heart and mind as my elder. My member has no say in this matter.
In my culture, my uncle was a shaman and he say, " Remember this son, do not let you and your people become orphans. Remember who you are and where you come from. Remember to keep your father and great grandfathers name, so that you don't become orphans. Call to your ancestor for help and wisdom. Do not forget them too. Keep your custom and instrument, do not throw them away. Do this and you will never be lost my child." He die at age 80 of lung disease.
It's good to see a hole culture standing up from being put down on the ground in the last hundreds of years. You can see "Getting knowledge and studying and working upwards to a "normal" life as new challenge, as other way of fighting for you, for the Indians.
Let me chant n' sing to the wilderness to the sky as ancient as the wind that howls my name , that calls the seasons. Let the trees teach me n give me wisdom , so I may grow old like they, give to me earth a sparrow , a women of spiritual strenght n beauty, so I may give to u life as it is -
i see- so u praise ur land in words- but u want white mans education so u can get city jobs- not farming jobs- ur too good for that- so noone left on reserve except new whites who love the earth and show it by farming herb growing not by wanting donations like children-and smoking away the childrens checks-why mennonites doing well on same type land in canada? nothing to learn from them?
education, I have tried to apply for it. They turn me down. I did worked all over in Kennecott refinery, Hercule in Magno Ut. ,Westech Engineering, Inc.,, Eimco Envirotech PMD. I tried just because I am a Navajo. I made whiteman jealous.
I am 57 now, I need to updated my career to BS. Getting a job cost money these day.
There's nothing wrong with education. It's not a "white man" thing or not relying on your culture. You can learn to be something that can you can take back to your tribe and help your community grow. People on rez's should have doctors, counselors, electricians or whatever else they want or need. Plus a native american college will help make sure the culture isn't lost.
@sumoni Your argument revolves around "want", and what you really want is respect!! If indeed you are one of those people, you've clearly learnt nothing but how to want like a White Man.
@Quakership89 Well I did say "or need". Respect isn't going to put food on the table. It isn't going to pay the bills and etc. Why is wanting to help your people and your community grow equal to "white man"? I'm not saying that a degree will get you everything. For some people it gets them nothing. But if you learn a trade that benefits the rez, that's not something to be ashamed of.
@Quakership89 By benefit I mean a trade that will ensure rez's have good clinics for example. That will have good schools or optical centers for those who need glasses. It's not always about ego. You can gain respect in many ways, it all depends on who you want the respect from. I don't need respect from my family or community to want to help them. :)
@sumoni You focus on physical sickness, while ignoring your own sick attitudes. So what happened to traditional practices? And that still does not explain why people go to college to study something like philosophy or geography. You know nothing and care nothing about true heritage, so why not shut up about it?
1 thing I so respect about the NATIVE people is they don't believe in giving their guns up 2 the white eye like they have they have done in the hood with gun buy back programs.... trickery...trickin niggas in to giving up their guns???...HELL NO I WONT GO!!! If some shit cracks off in America I will go straight 2 the res 4 instructions....I know they got GUNS buried...
@zyruemusic you have to see who those guns are killing!! Just their own people!!! You kill a White man, you're dead, you kill your own, slap on your hand!! Don't fool yourself!
@cpadill5 I am a battle hardened soldier from the ghetto fam so I am fully aware of white man law...however white man law soon will end because YAH has given the devil his time 2 prove his nature 2 B PURE EVIL. YAH WILL DELIVER HIS NATIVE PEOPLE!!!
that young lady sings so pretty she is a natural artist - college is not the key to your future - using your mind and heart spirit is - many people have 4 year degrees and they cant get jobs
This is so pretentious!! So now we equate succumbing to the White Man's institions as progress?? Education is really only for institutionalizing and stultifying people and their culture. These people are only trying to emulate the White Man so as to gain respect.
I like kimberly i think she can do it, to become somebody and have a great future. I was a hardcore vodka drinker dwelling on my past and not thinking of school, now that I've been sober for 2 yrs. i think clearly and have better thoughts of school now. anybody can stop drinking or drugs (anybody) just got to be true to you and stop blaming and acting on it. it's hard but we natives can do it ... BE STRONG I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! kimberly
It is so sad America is such a profoundly racist and greedy nation. I was searching for land in NM, and the filthy gringos have homes that are absurdly priced. you'd think they would share their extreme wealth, gotten from generations of parasitism.
im Native american..about 78% and i have other mixed cultures behind that but im very endulged in my culture becuase i believe that all of us can fix the bad things that happen on the rez.
xSkraelingx brings up something important about Non-native power sources. therefore, all native communities must wrack theye brains for Self-Sufficient power sources! talk to non american electrical engineers across the world for ideas. no more paying american whitey! ...but. of course, we all know american whitey gonna try and stop you from being self sufficient concerning hydro power. it threatens his easy meal ticket!$!
I understand where you're coming from, but the sentence "you have reached political and social ascendancy, and a great educational and entrepreneurial level" is mere flattery.
A rock in the ground is the center of the earth and from there I came.
When my eyes they opened, Sun saw cliffs of sand. White tip blue mountains held me in their arms and sang to my red blood songs of yellow flowers on black mesas. And I sing...
uhm because they worked and fought for it?? Native Americans have their rights as citizens now.. because blacks worked and fought for it! dont even try to point fingersblacks in this country went thru super hell for their rights why aren't Native Americans organizing and marching for their college fund?? *silence* and thats why UNCF has those funds and natives dont -___- focus on your self and not what Blacks have and you would be better off
@HOTINONSHONNI tsilagi also spelled tsalagi is better known as cherokee o most people. we are also are know as aniyunwia which also has different variations in it's spelling. But to answer your question, it's a cherokee.
I am Native and Black and live here in Oklahoma and I can tell you that most of these college funds DONT DO WHAT THEY CLAIM! I think the executives take most of the donations, I have never seen anything from the negro college fund. They do have Native grants but its not enough really.
because we UNITED and fought for it, its a big part of american history cicil right MOVEMENT we boycotted and hit the apressors pockets you take away their money you force then to change things we opened up schools food drives policed our own streets learned the law and beat bogus ciurt cases. I am also Tsalagi and lets look at this we're divied there are 7 diff clans in my tribe about 5% rez speak tsalagi and there are 3 diff dialects. iff all native came to gether and fought change would b see
When I was little my parents wanted to live and contribute on the Navajo Rez, and I wanted to live that way, but I was half- and the indian kids in Arizona were rotten mean. When I was 12 a group of kids beat me and broke my arm, bad, when I was waiting for the bus. The parents did nothing. It was different up in Quebec- the indians up their have their culture, and get educated, they're just better people. Maybe it's racial? Whatever, there big differences among Indians.
yes there are differences among different natives and as a person who is native and black im not welcomed by many natives because of it there are even documents and blood percentages that were put in to effect by my own native people that exclude many form their culture and it discuss me and so many are racist and also bitter because of what white settlers did to our people but are doing the same themselfs. makes me sad.
How ever things have changed and I'm proud to say blood is not important in registering for my tribe any more. we're actually one of the most culturally diverse tribes now. to register the only requirment is to trace 1 ancesterback to a person listed on the role. even if you got 1% blood you can be registered. In time change comes. Hope fully your wounds will heal one day.
@tuchesuavae What tribe specifically? My ancestors are not on the Dawes Roll as they had moved west into KY before the rolls but I know the names. I have always wished to be formally recognized by my Cherokee people. I love them very much.
Every educated person, once they have a stable career, should fund two people's education. And so on. We would educate ourselves so quickly it ain't even funny.
all dis stuff that there talkn bout its all the way over here in Cali the REZ is all bad... I feel lucky i got out, but it sux cuz i got lil cuzns left behind n dnt kno wut to do....
Education is what made us lose our culture, We are not dumb indians we lived off of the land we were hands on learners because thats how we survived. That is why many of our people struggle with going to school, because we were stripped of it and our elders and ancestors did not know how to deal with that trauma and that is when passing down what they learned and knew was corrupted. Alcoholism is a disease that what brought to us by the white man just like small pox and syphillis for example
2- an observation: i would take a safe guess and say youre pan-native community is at the point where the catholic Irish community was in 1847. you have reached political and social ascendancy, and a great educational and entrepenurial level.. the next step is a hard struggle for independance as soveriegn peoples. i know one faction agrees. the other faction may stay American i guess. its up to them.
FAIL. That is wrong. Nice try. Also: Do everyone a favor and check mere numbers. How many Irish are there, how many First Nations/Native Americans? The majority of FN/NA live in cities as well (70%-80%), not on their tribal lands (if their tribe has lands). So what should they do? Claim Los Angeles or New York? What?! Plus: they already are sovereign nations.
1:50........"The differance education makes"...........another quote>>>>" Educated man and un-educated man are as differant as are the living from the dead. Educated youth are the future of empire".-Aristotle, the Greek warrior philosopher...............no one has to be a nuclear physicist! but its good to know things.
its been like that since the begining when they first arrived alot of the knowledge was lost when they massacred tried to extinct us we cant get a break in sports or in jobs cause everybody believes we are alcholics or drug attics lost on reservations or even worst lots of people have not seen a native american or think we are all dead we will rise again the cream always rises to the top Tukashila will save us keep your heads high and your minds strong this land is our land not your you stole it
Education is CRITICAL for the future development of Indian life. It's essential for the sovereignty of these Nations and assuring that the right leaders are in the right positions. Government and private pressures are just a large as ever and it's key that members of the tribe understand the complicated working so that no more will be lost. The most damaging image is that Indians are a dying race, and education can change that image.
my rez thinks of the people who are on the tribal councl seats kids first before they think about anyone else. besides that, the money is being stolen from its own tribal council.
does anyone remember bead working and looms,, peace pipes inlaid porkeypine quills? my parents got the piano from inside the church ,(the pine ridge battle) . Brent.
i hit rock bottum just becuase my own rez turned me down for funding.rez people dont give a shit about city people that come from the rez they only care about them selves.and are afrade of change.
Man, That's bullshit. The fact you're eager to get an education should give you money for college. There' s so many people on the rez who don't do shit, and they turn down someone who can make the community better.
keep trying, some state colleges like Montana State has some programs and funding to help Indians, but it's not enough to cover the bill. There's a lot of ways to get money for school.
i argee that probelms is where i am we need a grade 12 just to work at Burger King.seriously rez people won't even fund for there own people on the rez.they make sure there kids or there family get in first before anyone else. witch is sad.
This is so inspirational...I feel increadibly spoiled. I am not exactly single, but due to immigration issues my husband is out of state so I am taking care of our children by myself as well as working full time. I have always used this excuse to not go back to school, even though my tribe will pay all of my tuition, books, transportation and some living expenses. Thank you so much, for making this video, I plan on contacting our Higher Ed. Coordinator after I finish typing this comment.
damn...this is too true. i am one of those native youth who is working very hard to stay in school and its very hard to make the money on my rez. my parents make too much money so i was denied for scholarships, but they don't know that i dont ask my parents for money. i didnt make my school bill and now i'm not in school this year. But im not gonna give up, i'll be back at IAIA when i can afford it. shout out to d. whitehawk, rose, gritts, mr. clark and kim. (personal friends)
well i completley understand everything said and only hope it reaches other reservaions i am oneida and im goin onondaga comunity college in syracuse but my mother was a teacher at syrcuse university and she said something about native americans able to go for free but im not sure if was a tribal issue or not wether you had to be of a cetain nation to be enrolled and all that but look into it guys lot of natives out here are doin their best too love and peace cousinz onehh
its good to know that natives are tryn to better themselfs im a full blooded mississippi choctaw n im attending Eastern Oklahoma State College n im also the Native American Student Association President n supporters like the college fund really gives natives a fighting chance to better themselves, my dad didnt finish high school so im the first of the family to graduate high school and go to college!!!

It is so sad America is such a profoundly racist and greedy nation. I was searching for land in NM, and the filthy gringos have homes that are absurdly priced. you'd think they would share their extreme wealth, gotten from generations of parasitism.

Why do most Colleges not get funding from the casinos? Does that mean
a) the colleges on a reservation with a casino that is generating enough revenue DO get funding, but most of the casinos are not successful enough?
b) even those that are successful don't give funding?
I just tried to google it, but couldn't find anything (only tons of articles on casinos providing random blackjack dealer courses).

When I was little my parents wanted to live and contribute on the Navajo Rez, and I wanted to live that way, but I was half- and the indian kids in Arizona were rotten mean. When I was 12 a group of kids beat me and broke my arm, bad, when I was waiting for the bus. The parents did nothing. It was different up in Quebec- the indians up their have their culture, and get educated, they're just better people. Maybe it's racial? Whatever, there big differences among Indians.
ChrissyMontagne 2 years ago
yes there are differences among different natives and as a person who is native and black im not welcomed by many natives because of it there are even documents and blood percentages that were put in to effect by my own native people that exclude many form their culture and it discuss me and so many are racist and also bitter because of what white settlers did to our people but are doing the same themselfs. makes me sad.

How ever things have changed and I'm proud to say blood is not important in registering for my tribe any more. we're actually one of the most culturally diverse tribes now. to register the only requirment is to trace 1 ancesterback to a person listed on the role. even if you got 1% blood you can be registered. In time change comes. Hope fully your wounds will heal one day.

Education is what made us lose our culture, We are not dumb indians we lived off of the land we were hands on learners because thats how we survived. That is why many of our people struggle with going to school, because we were stripped of it and our elders and ancestors did not know how to deal with that trauma and that is when passing down what they learned and knew was corrupted. Alcoholism is a disease that what brought to us by the white man just like small pox and syphillis for example

What if the casino in your tribal community doesn't generate enough money?
jonasgreene 2 years ago
2- an observation: i would take a safe guess and say youre pan-native community is at the point where the catholic Irish community was in 1847. you have reached political and social ascendancy, and a great educational and entrepenurial level.. the next step is a hard struggle for independance as soveriegn peoples. i know one faction agrees. the other faction may stay American i guess. its up to them.
acerb45666555 2 years ago
FAIL. That is wrong. Nice try. Also: Do everyone a favor and check mere numbers. How many Irish are there, how many First Nations/Native Americans? The majority of FN/NA live in cities as well (70%-80%), not on their tribal lands (if their tribe has lands). So what should they do? Claim Los Angeles or New York? What?! Plus: they already are sovereign nations.

Education is CRITICAL for the future development of Indian life. It's essential for the sovereignty of these Nations and assuring that the right leaders are in the right positions. Government and private pressures are just a large as ever and it's key that members of the tribe understand the complicated working so that no more will be lost. The most damaging image is that Indians are a dying race, and education can change that image.

Man, That's bullshit. The fact you're eager to get an education should give you money for college. There' s so many people on the rez who don't do shit, and they turn down someone who can make the community better.
keep trying, some state colleges like Montana State has some programs and funding to help Indians, but it's not enough to cover the bill. There's a lot of ways to get money for school.
