Navajo Pow Wow in Baghdad Iraq at Saddams old Palace

[ThisIsUrDaddy]

Hey show some respect! powwau are held by leaders for healing. There is to be no drinking, no adultery, no fighting, no littering, no soliciting and definitely no monetary gain at these events. If they do, the spirits will not be happy. And injuns do not do that is what I hear from my neighbor and she is a descendant of a great Cherokee warrior..so there...

[badazzfeliciano]

Navajos are warriors who love to fight we never hold back,we never cry for our fallen we honor them. We fight for a country that wanted to exterminat us but needed our language to survive. Ain't that a bitch.

[jsey07]

@RedSkinNative89 dont let it go to waste invest in the community and limit an amount to people see alot people ruin their lives with a large payment and its very sad to see our people suffer more, invest in community buildings and brand new houses especially for elders and new families build better schools with better opportunities and strong embracing and funding for our culture making sure that they can have money for ceremonies and such and that will build a better

[shanintrevino]

Buncha brainwashed robots....

[shanintrevino]

I kinda figured when they start having pow wow's in Iraq, it meant they were scared for their lives and karma....LOL...TRU STORY! good job veterans.....

[LamokaGhost]

Thank you for your service, this country,my family, my friends and I all thank you for keeping us all safe here at HOME! Peace and Blessings... Jim

[nativeengin]

It's cool to have made close brothers from outher races and served this country, But never forget your are "Native American Indian".we will always be... a prisiner of war in our own land. to the men in "Washington" we are still savages. they make public apologies to every outher race of people done harm to. except the land lords of this country.they give the blacks 1 whole month. they give jews holidays, japan people get apologies for putting them in camps ww2. and get set free. we forgive 2ez

[99cacahuate]

@nativeengin WELL SAID....good to know that NOT all natives are BRAINWASHED....

[doctorfeelucky]

@nativeengin in my state, I've received apologies from elderly people and one young dude, but that's about it. When I see black history month poster, I just look at it and say "Yeah, don't give a crap."

[TheChulah12]

@nativeengin totally agreed..i may never know why people still to this day!..feel hostilities towards us its like as long as i go down the street wearing or representing who we are or educating who we are people think im a '' bad'' ndn but as long as i hurt bc of hiding who i am im a good ndn..dont get it..wheres the sense in that when I AM FIRST NATION

[diadromiful]

what a shit !!

[Coyotedaha]

Problem is it should have been those Native people who are the orginators of the Gourd Dance, Grass Dance, Straight Dance, etc. to sing the song . . . . its alright so listen to the Navajo sing, but its different especially when it comes to the words of the Ponca, Omaha, Comanche, etc. when singing . . . just my opinion . . ..

[Utlayolisdi]

Kanogisdi osda. Ditlihi osda. (Good song. Good warriors)

[berdaboi1]

As a full blood native, i understand the reason a native soldier goes to war. To protect their people and their surroundings. In reading a few comments, racism is still alive, from a small native sports team facing racism in their battle to win, it is within the warriors protecting the united states also. all soldiers fight for the freedom of speech for people expressing their racism. go figure.

[vivaloriflamme]

When is there going to be a Native American as president? Someone who considers the effects on future generations when making decisions.

[MaiiOfMayhem64]

@basspop09@99cacahuate, You two idiots need stop representing me! We have a saying in the Marine Corps, "There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion." So if your not with me, GET THE F'N HELL OUT OF MY LZ!!! To the drum here, good job boys! Hoka. Maii, NAVAJO from Kayenta, AZ on the Big Rez!!!

[ScReWeDaNdTaT2d]

WOW RESPECT.......

[Stater332D6]

[Cheapshot911]

[patsut1]

cool thankyou guys I wish you return home safely

[patsut1]

thanks guys sounds great!!

[gayaudigali]

Head down and hands up to our Warriors. Thank you for your service.

[UNPINKLADY]

I love it! Happy Veterans Day!!!

[scprudential]

@basspop09@99cacahuate - CONTINUE::: Be in support of preserving what culture we have left rather than throw low blows @ our Brave Native gentlemen drumming.

[Scabzilla49]

@scprudential But does that mean we should all just drop our own individual Tribe/Tribes culture(s)/language(s)/ways and take up another Tribes??

[scprudential]

@basspop09@99cacahuate - CONTINUE:::gentleman drumming. The drum represents the beat of our heart. They shared the heart beat alongside each-other which gives strength and hope. Our Native population only represents about 5% of the nation. U should be honored, we are allowed to have sweats, ceremony, pow-wow's 24/7 365- No other race in American can or does this. I've been on the pow-wow trail for 15 years and thousands of the dancers are Navajo! Be in support of preserving what

[scprudential]

@basspop09@99cacahuate - Sounds like you are judgmental &"REEEZZZED" out towards UR own race. It is not a person's choice what tribe or race we have been born into. I was raised Navajo, but I am also Hopi/Pomo. My husband is Dakota/Seneca/Omaha. Our Military is brave to risk their lives for UR's,Mine and OUR COUNTRIES FREEDOM:-). If you are educated on our 500 Nations then U know each tribes history. Doesn't mean you have to call out these gentlemen drumming.

[sluggard01]

@99cacahuate Actually I went to kill for myself and my family and my daughter, and Im sure they did the same thing as well, to fight for their loved ones and families. Whites, yeah I have white friends who also fought side by side with me, who had families that they loved. Maybe its time for you to grow up and let go of the past Chief! Only thing fukked up is your lack or respect and morale judgment to have support for your people!

[sluggard01]

@basspop09 Your also welcome for your freedom by these Navajos banging on drums!!! sorry not pow wow... Wow, way to go hero!! These Navajos who I served with who all had families and all, yeah I think their is a plains person in the bunch as well, Seem the ones who werent allies your talking about are home culturing enriching themselves like you... YOUR WELCOME!!

[sluggard01]

@basspop09 I like the title because "Navajos who don't pow wow acting like plains people" is already taken jerk (and plains people, wow really, calling them people, those people, very cool) and allies, really, grow up and maybe should start with enriching yourself first before you think you know whats best for culture enrichment.

[basspop09]

Navajo's don't Pow-wow guys! I'm Navajo and this is a major misinterpretation due to Navajo's who participate in Pow-wows. Pow-wow originates from the Plains people, whom were not are allies. I'm all for language and culture enrichment in Native American communities but please don't attach the word "Navajo" and "Pow Wow" together in a title like that. Like I said, I'm all for culture enrichment but please don't confuse the general public like this.

[Scabzilla49]

@basspop09 I know a lot of people don't... but I agree with you.

[Chotee70]

@basspop09 What do you mean Plains People are not allies..and the word is "OUR ALLIES. NOT ARE ALLIES" How we are not allies to Navajos? There were many Canadians, and Canadian Aboriginals who went Iraq as well. Explain yourself..

[sam87301]

Morale booster like you don't even know.....much respect!

[99cacahuate]

this is fukkked up,WHITES KILLED NATIVE AMERICANS AND NOW THESE NATIVES AMERICANS KILLING FOR THE WHITE.

God Bless our Navajo warriors in uniform!

[sluggard01]

@MrAngryindian - lol guess that makes me MrGullibleindian , but probably on a more serious note i really just dont care.

[sluggard01]

@insideMan1981 our president is Muslim. And last i checked is living in the white house. Not one day, happening now!

[MrAngryindian]

@sluggard01 You and inside man just aren't too bright are you? You really are gullible in what you believe.

[insideMan1981]

1day the muslims will be in the white house dont forget that

[Blackknight1212]

@insideMan1981 Mhmm and what is that suppose to mean exactly? Because it kinda sounds like you think a Muslim in the white house is all of a sudden gonna make the entire country Islamic and get some kind of revenge for his people. Let me tell you right now a Muslim president doesn't mean anything, it's just another president who happens to be a Muslim, the only difference there will be is his policy.

[seantsosie]

Nizhoni! May our Navajo Warriors be under the protection of our Navajo Twin War Gods and return home safely!....

[sluggard01]

@Dinerida ;I figured out why they called it operation Geronimo, because they found out he was a quarter Cherokee,.. like everyone else in the world!

[MrRedbear1961]

Native pride around the world...this is awsome. Bless you for serving, and keeping our Native spirit strong, even during thease times. Stay strong.....and come home safe.
