Hmmm. I cannot come up with anything to say about this. Not my favorite sorry to say. There has to be better way to preserve our culture, not on this manner. sorry

[blindpig93]

The music is unimportant be it this techno beat or just straight drumming the trance aspect come across brilliantly. tradition is stagnation, it is better that we grow into new forms of expression of our heritage. this honors the past because we are not leaving it behind but rather propeling it to the future.

[blindpig93]

that was beautiful.

[HaidaButterfly]

This is my Absolutely FAVORITE YouTube Vid!!!!!

[kassyjb]

@joeyates11

This is my brother dancing :D

[BigHashTouraj]

heyhowareyou! heyhowareyou! heyhowareyou! heyhowareyou !

[BigHashTouraj]

damn this shit is killer 7 trippy.

[BigHashTouraj]

thats his point. that people get easily fooled by Native American impostors selling crap to people and reinforcing the idea of native americans as a frozen culture with no progress

[th3buddysyst3m]

Love this cultural mashup!! No art can be expected to say the same thing to everybody; that's the real beauty in it. Obviously the dance and music were not made together, and this juxtaposition highlights exactly that! This is another example of how breaking the norms of art actually brings more attention to its origins.

[ihiwehiwana]

to get this you have to watch the other video, this is the second of two, awesome nick, keep it up, keep pushing bro.

[JunAlask]

Kunaxh tlel oosk'e awe! (If you speak Tlingit, it's nothing flattering.)

[CodyRicheson]

Great music.

[0megadwarf]

sounds like dubstep

[nerdy99827joe]

this is just awful.

this has nothing to do with your culture.

no lyrics in our language and no drums

the only thing that is the same is the regelia

u just looks awful.

[glacierhouse1]

is how your parents raised you do you people think this is art ???

your grand parents would be ashamed as i am .

our culture and way of life is not to be changed or played with!.

[say2k]

You need to open your eye to the fact that if we don't find new directions for our culture, it will live in the realm of stereotypes.

This work is absolutely brilliant and highlights the fact the the new generation of aboriginal artists are drawing in influences to expand our culture to a new level.

[nerdy99827joe]

wht the hell are u talking about? this is awful. they have to be stayed the same or we will forget tehm forever. this is just trash! nothing traditional about it. elders would look down on this kid. this is the worst.

[jonybobo]

That which cannot be played with is already dead

[sirtomthecat]

it's a simple reflection of cultures through a medium, when you view this one and the the one that goes with it you will understand.

this is the one that goes with it: /watch?v=Ue30aKV1LF8

[athabascan907]

this is awesome

[itscooltobeyou]

again, brilliant.

[SMILINGBEAR2]

Gunal'Cheesh Bro fer the entrance dance, was actually hoping fer the song itselgf, lol's, good enough i reckon.

Stan from wrangell tribe, Raven clan, KotchAudi

[ihiwehiwana]

bro you the man!! arohanui from iz and the girls. AOTEAROA Boi!!

[skeenareece]

I remember the first time I watched this. I thought it was some German 'lover' of native culture, but I remember feeling tough at the same conflicted time. When I met Nicholas and found out this was his art piece - I thought brilliant. Fucken brilliant. Native people don't get watered down, we just get more potent. We are more a part of this modern world than we are given credit for. Yes we are invisible, but that is our strength. I love this video and I love Nicholas Galanin. Period. .

[LilRose11]

my one year old baby and I love this video and I think it is very cool, thank you for putting this video back up!!!!!!!

[aaronseskimo]

Someone should show this to our native tribe with STA, let's see if you have the guts!!!!!

[aaronseskimo]

i find this disappointing to anyone trying to keep OUR NATIVE CULTURE ALIVE, YET I SAY I AM ESKIMO, I GREW UP ONLY KNOWING MY TLINGIT CULTURE... this is messed up

[Garoucane]

trans-ethnic modern. This was imaginative, makes me wish there was more out there like this. props from the blackfeet nation.

[sirtomthecat]

i am still wondering what

the name of the song or

the name of the artist that

created the song.

if anyone knows, please

let me know thanx.

awesome video, both of

them. love watching both

[ihiwehiwana]

love this my tlingit bro, chur from aotearoa, iz

[kinchnax]

Pure Genius.

[aawaaya]

cool background, great formline

[AugustIsland]

This is excellent work. There is resonance in the story coming through the modern music.

[stoagy]

tleix ooshka awe

[sirtomthecat]

amazing, i'd love to know the music artist that did the song in this video!

[igmu007]

przepięęękny taniec,ale muza potwornośc

[seakalliance]

trippy. did you swap the audio between this and that bboy video?

[bigdanfield]

No this is the song I danced to

[bigdanfield]

Tlingit, this was the original. This is the song I danced to. Check out tsu heidei shuguxtutan 1. Its the flipped version of this video.

[javajocelyn]

beautiful...i love it :)

[Ttlingit]

Hello,

I didn't really care for it. do you have the original you could post? That is the nakaheedee house in sitka right???

[foodope]

yes what tune is that sick dubstep riddim?

[Kwonnesi]

eine spirituelle Vorstellung virituell darzustellen, versuchen...das alte mit dem neuen zu verbinden verdient respect !?

Virituell to respresent...and... the old tries to connect a spirutuelle conception with the new... earned respect...

[jssshotter]

Yak ei awe

[HaidaButterfly]

this video gave me goosebumps. It was the perfect music to introduce those who have never witnessed NW Coastal Tribal dancing.

[Thrak0z]

Very nice visual & audio juxtaposition on this. Any chance for a artist/title/link on the music, please? That bassline is destructive.

[Kwonnesi]
