[yukiookamipuppies]

I just love this song.

[loiswyant]

Best Christmas song this year.  Love it. Thank you

[vlbland2]

i Love and appreciate native humour,as is-where is. you wont usually see this in mainstream media.thanks to shoshoni elders and flaming warbonnet

[Lakotaswingin]

I shared this with my family and friends. I love this song and will be singing it every Christmas here on. Thank you for sharing.

[paintballred88]

Basically a song about robbing and victimizing, somebody who wanted to be kind...

[jsnapp556]

Everyone of my multinational friends have this now. Excellent!!

[NancyToday]

I'm not letting him in my tipi either! He'll fall right in the fire. Whose idea was it to come down a chimney on a bitterly cold winter night, anyway? Who lets their fire go out on Christmas eve?

[Linuxrat]

I love this!

Does he sell CD's?

[numbersmandan]

to all my native american friends Da-ni-sta-yo-ni-hv!

[Potatoeprime9billion]

[mybuddyrobin]

Aho... Thank you for my Christmas smile !

[cowgirlway1960]

I LOVED IT :)

[nathanwallacei3]

ok its workign now.. crisis averted

[nathanwallacei3]

why isnt this song working? is it because its the day before christmas eve and its been disabled? if this is the case..shame on you youtube!!

[davidbouchard99]

I had Joan...man, there's some fun stuff out there. My fav is the Warscout Christmas CD... 

[whistlingbadger]

Perfect! ha ha ha



[whistlingbadger]

Glad the reindeer didn't go to waste.

[mtnflr]

That is so funny and I am glad I was eating anything it would have been stuck in throat. I think you are right @mykash2000 about those reindeer. Course 'we-uns' who live in a mobile home neither have a chimney nor smokehold but in any case, "no, no, no, I ain't setting out no cookies or milk for a fat man in a silly red suit. Happy holidays y'all!

[TheSANDRAAH]

LOL! This is good! It makes me smile!

[MagsGraphics]

I now have this song STUCK in my head!!! ;) Very funny! Love it!!

[Utlayolisdi]

Kanogisdi osda. Osdada! Nvwodi Equa.

Dodadagohvi, nwatohiyadv.

[mykash2000]

Now I know what happened to the reindeer that ran over grandma

[GuemesBill1]

Hysh'ka Siam, what a great gift to all of my Native Brothers and Sisters I am sure they will be watching for him on Christmas Eve as they are laying all snug and warm in their Tipi's. I have to send this off right away : ]

[JesseVVJames]

LOL That's a Great Song!

[TheRettaG]

This is stuck in my head now... I thought it was funny, particularly considering my fear of Mall Santas when I was a child.

[mrthomasfritz]

Thank you for sharing, you have made my day. I am going camping in a few days for the Christmas break and will stuff a Santa down the smoke hole of my lodge.

[TheUniqueMaterial]

oh gosh. I like it in the way I like the Far Side. So wrong and so right all at the same time. Laughing and shaking my head. !!

[TheGypsyDragon]

This my Christmas song from now on. LOVE IT

[morganmay1]

Practicality of the native peoples

[NancyToday]

I would love to make a fake santa and put him up in the fork of the poles at the top of my tipis! I imagine the idea of Santa is rather ludicrous to the native community! LOL. Poor Santa's reindeer get eaten and tanned! LOL

[LiobaDD]

I Like this, humor is so important these days!!

[jiggerluver]

How can you not just love this!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!

[RainCoastWest]

Oldhands - I MISS you !!! Are you still in Vancouver ?!? Have been trying to find you for the past 2 years . . .

[earthmothercare13]

he is creepy! thanks for sharing it is hilarious! lol

[WereHere2Stay]

Passing this to all my native friends! It's going to be our new christmas carol for sure!

[Astara33]

I LOVE it. It's absolutely adorable!! Thank you!

[vlbland2]

luv to see that beardlock trophy

[55magicponies]

Oh, thank you so much! You've made my day.

[saarinent]

LOL!  Funny and truthful. Is there anyway to get the lyrics? Thanks for sharing.

[gbreez]

Awesome. Sharing with friends and family. Thank you.

[jeremymize1969]

lila waste olowan!

[goodonebro1]

native americans have a such a way with music.

[MsBabybonbon]

BY THE WAY, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN A MAN IN A SILLY RED , ( santa clause). LOL. Never did even as a kid.

[wonina]

Thank you for this song……I love it, it has such a catchy tune that it is now stuck in my head and Im singing it all the time. Love sharing it!

[MrLittlewolfplaying]

is there any way to download or buy this song????would love to playing this in my truck

[Robinsezme]

THANK YOU ELDER, IT'S AWESOME!

[skaggsfm]

@unotenure---are you for real, you are going to get all butt hurt and racist over a fictional character LMAO

[sheppama]

This was so cute. Loved it.

[unotenore]

@Oscar6myer: I have plenty of a life, and my comments about the lyrics stand as stated. You have a right to your opinion, but if you challenge me, it only says you're deficient of higher moral standards.

[BeryleChambers]

I loved it!

[oscar6myer]

@ unotenore: lighten up and get a life!

[kahawinontie]

haha he thinks hes speaking indian

[unotenore]

This advocates disrespect of a Christmas icon, Santa Claus, killing his reindeer, stripping him of his clothes, including his boots, and stealing from Santa's other recipients to sell to the pawn shop which is too often the practice of American Indians. How can we affirm this kind of disrespect? Don't give me the poor American Indian plight as many of the reservations are wealthy off gambling casinos exempt from normal Federal levies, and others have vast reserves of oil, gas, and coal.

[sheppama]

@unotenore What's wrong with you? Don't you ever laugh? Oh yea, BY READING YOU COMMENT, I guess you're one of those stuck up white self centered dumnass that think they are better than every one else. KMA***

[ayemaya75]

@unotenore

How can you disrespect a fictional character? And, if someone does, so what! This fictional character is one that represents, supports and reinforces addiction to materialism.

[ndeertrack]

@unotenore Troll! We're just getting started with Santa.

[d1beano]

@unotenore Oh you're so funny...unintentionally, but still. It's a funny song. Get over your misplaced sense of indignation, get off your self righteous high horse! Santa doesn't really exist, ya know? Laugh a little--even with us indians! It won't kill you!

[adrainseyes]

This is great!! Score one for Native American!!

[whitewolf287]

this is cute and I think it is awesome

[SVWard53]

I loved it. My great grandmother on dad's side, was half cherokee, so I guess I'm a little.

[GrandfatherOtter2036]

An absolutely wonderful Xmas video. LOVE IT!!! and my friends do also.

[MrOldskoolboy]

Make this Christmas No1, do it nao!!!!

[RainbowManyColors]

Absolutely LOVE IT!!! Makes me want to sing, drum and dance all at the same time. Got to share this with my Grandchildren. Thanks so much.

[catahokte]

This is the funniest thing I have seen in years. I laughted until I cried. Then sent it to everyone I know. Especially the White People. My Christmas present to them.

[grayspiritwolf]

I love this song, it is just to funny and I drive my wife crazy with it

[CreluvsAmery]

haha cheap!!!

[cosmicgalas]

I love this - my friend (1/2 Lakota and 1/2 Skandinavian) played it over the phone for me so I could hear it last night- I asked for the link so I could watch it and really hear it good....it is sooooooooooooooooooo funny and makes me crack a big smile. Thanks for this. HO HO HO

[yamama65]

haha i love this songg <3

[queenlillith1]

hahaha respect for the elders

For me that's very funny. (though I am white)but im not a christian....

[dreamlooser]

So cool. It shows once again that Native People have an awfully well sense of humor. Thank you for sharing.

[birthofeternity]

Hahahahaha, hilarious. Even after Christmas this is just funny funny and mocking the stupid and spiritless greed the holiday has become for many I see is even better.

[robinarielmedia]

This Was Just Too Damn Funny ,Elder LOL

I Loved this , Peace Bro

Robin Ariel Ross St Claire Holgate

Unelanvhi udadolisdi to you and your family.

[mrsshanksta]

Out:ry

[777revloreen]

Wado for this Christmas song. A different slant on the whole Christmas thing and I really enjoyed it.

[opajohann]

ROLF!!! LOL!!

[theamazingbiff]

It reminds me of a Dick Gregory joke - "My granddaughter says there is no Santa Claus, because no white man would come to our neighborhood after dark."

[nachise51]

I have to wait until much later to post this to FB. Love it!!!!

[TallFeathers]

This is great, Thanks.

[authorjdc]

this is by far the best christmas song I have ever heard

[wayalittlebear8]

LOVE THIS VERY MUCH...for its humor but also for getting in a native view take on Santa as original as this one; thank you, this made my Christmas season spirit go thru the roof!

[whozisdis]

we had guests (with babies) over for dinner, and the little ones started drumming on my 5 gallon buckets. I had just heard this a few days before, so I grabbed my handdrum off the wall, and joined in with what I could remember of your song. It was a great Christmas moment!--thanks to you, "Oldhands".

[PeacekeeperJedi]

I love this Christmas song! I would love to get a copy of this song on a CD, or as a download for my MP3. Have y'all thought about selling it through Amazon or anything like that?

[Kitty2630]

I Love this!!!!! Thank you for posting it!

[jozsefas]

thank you for sharing

[4DogsSake]

What a great Christmas song! I want it on CD or MP3 so I can play it every Christmas. So much fun, and the music and vocals are a joy to listen to (even without the silly lyrics). Bravo!

[46hundra]

This is my altime favorite Christmas song from now on.

[KerryW79]

Love it!!!! :o)

[PuddinProductions23]

I too enjoyed this as a aboriginal person and stil a believer with my Native Roots and my christian faith, so please, go to You Tube and search "Jesus Is the reason for the season " by Steve Meuse and hear another version related to Christmas and our holliday season. Listen closely to the message, and please feel free to leave your comments , like to hear them all !!!! Merry Christmas !!

[MarthaH605]

Poor Santa Claus. He tries to do a good thing, and look what happens to him. ;-)

[Wolfiemouse]

Terrific song, and done very well. Great vocals. Going straight into my very favorites. Season's greetings to you, your's, and their's ... now and later.

[jurima1967]
