  • Looks like stroud pow wow!! haha

  • White people wanna be native.... ridiculous.....

  • show some respect...especially u ppl from the US or Can. These native americans at least have a culture!

  • is this shit serious

  • White people can't dance...any dance! lol

  • Don's a good guy and a great dancer. I've been to these pow wows. Doesn't matter if this is 100% accurate to the traditions. Its spreading the words and traditions of a proud people. Its great to see so many people feel an interest in the original americans. Mitakuye Oyasin. We are all related. Doesn't matter if you're Native, White, Black, Hispanic or Asian, we are all people on this world and to involved oneself in another's culture is admirable. Don't hate.

  • with all respect: I can't say what they have in their hearts to do this. I am a mexican who tried to find traditional songs to learn about them, but this video teach me that theres is so many people who think that have spirit is only how many plumage and colour you can buy it!! But the spirit it's farwell of this way of think!!!

  • They Suck...

  • Comment removed

  • LOL is all i gotta say

  • All I gotta say is aaaaaahhhoh well never mind

  • Its nt there fault, its mainly the ones who tought them how to dance like tht n stuff. Sumtimes it cn b one guy frm ur tribe tht is tryin to b a medicine r wtevr thy call thmselves or it cn b frm our tribe who knws tellin thm, dis is wt we use n hw dance n wtevr we do in our ways. U gotta think, thy nvr do it cuz thy dnt knw if thy r doin rite thts Y thy ask alot of our people n ur people. thts hw things get messd upp whn thy tell thm the wrngs things. Theres such thng as bad students,js teachr.

  • I personally feel offended by this video, The powwow comes from our culture and traditions. It is our way of life. it is how we heal and pray. The dances are not to be used as mockery. The songs used are handed down not sang or copied from country songs. Customs and beliefs come from all First Nations People. To have a powwow you have to be given the right to host such an event. A RIGHT YOU DO NOT HAVE.

  • @SiouxRider HOYT!

  • right it shouldnt matter about skin color. im pretty sure that when cultures are introduced to one another you will have intermixing. to rezbro and southblackfeet... dont you think its a shame that you would consider these people that obviously have such respect and reverence for your culture disrespectful people? sort out your enemies and your allies, idiots

  • 0:09 - 0:19 O.O whuutttt!!!

  • WTF?? 2 wolves spirit?? This video is straight up bullshit!!

  • wow where is all the hatred coming from. Believe it or not some Indians have a white parent and have light skin doesn't make them degenerate obviously you need to learn more about your culture.

  • @jillybillyish It's not the skin color so much as the way people are dancing, and their outfits, and what some people are saying, and some of these songs...they are just whack.

  • why are there so many prejudice remarks againt white people? you know that "white" is not a race right? it is just the color of a humans skin. calling someone white does not mean that they are anglo or european american because i know people with white skin that are puerto rican, cuban, native american, african american, etc. i know its hard for some native americans to understand that the majority of people claiming native american descent today are pale skinned (white) but thats just prejudice

  • okay first off maybe its because some white people follow the earth mother did you ever think of that you stupid fucks your music comes into my head when ever i get angry and try too stay calm you tell me why i will tell you i will stop using your rituals and songs

  • i feel you, your so right

  • Hate the fact when white people claim or try to be Indian? i see nothing but whites and one black? where are the real Indians. Hate this artificial wannabees LOL

  • @martinez418 tell me about it these white ppl always trying to copy someone , becuse they have no culture

  • Hate the fact when white people claim or try to be Indian?

  • him and his wolf shit!......there aint no spirits of wolves out in their sacred circle but people trying to be natives........making fools of themselves. Have a freakin concept of powwows!

  • I am a native and I know what my ppl have been doing for thousands of years! I live it ! So now what about you ?? what do you know yours besides reading out of a book.... becuz it sound like you are all American and like your old saying goes if you ant WHITE you and RIGHT!!! come on now come at me with more then that. becuz it sounds like you are sitting on your "BIGPUSSM", lmfao........

  • @1daddynthaworld You're a native...LOL @ you once again!

    Who's not a native? Do you actually believe if you set sail and hit upon a piece of earth that no man has ever landed on, that this piece of dirt is yours just bc you say it is? Are you that naive? This planet isn't, "first come first serve". It goes to those that can keep it and flourish(prosper in it) and then welcomes others. Keep living in a delusion mister and you'll become useless to everyone around you except yourself. Your behind!

  • ok so the teaching you are talking about was written in a book! so who to say what ever is in that book is nothing but bull shit ! becuz their are way older cultures out there that never had a book on what was and what is going to happen... and you say educate my self on some of the passage that brought ppl across the land bridge to the Americas.

  • @1daddynthaworld That book you referr to is called the "scriptures" and yes, it might be written by man, but through the one Spirit that even you forefathers recognized, you dolt! Look up YHWH's name and see howmany of the 1st people that came here, brought that name with them, either in paleo or block hebrew.

    Bothers you that so many of your ancestors resembles the hebrews eh? Grow a pair and get back to me once you dusted off your history book.

  • WTF.... NOW THIS IS WAY DUMN BUT FUNNY ! BUT THEN AGAIN I HAD TO WATCH ALL OF IT !LMFAO.... AND WHY DOSE EVERYONE HAVE SOME KICK ASS NDN NAMES!! I WANT ONE .. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LMFAO!

  • @1daddynthaworld "UBIGPUSSM", there's your name..LOL!!! Now educate yourself some on the passage that brought ppl across the land bridge to the americas. People originated in one place and traveled here in case you've been asleep. They didn't appear here by magic, UBIGPUSSEM.

  • Fancy Foot Johnson looks serious lol.

  • Fkin nd minstrel show.

  • wow wtf is this?....geez.....quit tryna bite our style.....you know i find it funny that you dont ever see these guys dancin at a real powwow....there probably the ones that are always trnya take our pictures i bet....hahahaha!

  • 1:02 wolf man...what does the sunglasses represent??

  • no way, this is sickening to my native nations , practise your own ways ya creeps this is not cool at all gey a life you wannna bees, this belongs to us this isnt anything native at all . these people need to find thier own spirituality with buuda ir the cross or something other than our ways, gat a culture lost ones. na- ish

  • pitiful go to the rez learn more about our ways if you are going to exployed us

  • My favorite is "Two Wolves Spirit" and his regailyer!!!!!

  • lol

    

  • What the????????

  • lol

  • east coast natives are not natives.

    no lie. stop trying.

  • @nativeboi401 what!!!???!!!

  • @nativeboi401 My Grandfather is from the Eastern Band of the Cherokee nation.

  • @OAlittlechief and thats every bodies claim to fame around here. "im cherokee, our blood is diluted and there are no pure breds left". congrats dude. at least your proud.

    me on the other hand. full blood oglala lakota sioux straight out of the heart in indian country. AYYY!! AYY!

  • @nativeboi401 Yeah, it does get annoying since people never really look at their own genealogy tree. You can say theyre are no eastern indians, but truthfully, were all connected, we just all have slightly different views and ways of doing things. A Cherokee derived no more different than a Sioux. I take pride in my heritage, it should be time you should do the same and stop making lies, your no less than a white man arnt you

  • @OAlittlechief

    You all have it wrong. Your ancestors came to this land like others did everywhere else on the planet. So any man that plants his foot in front of anothers can claim that portion of land? So does that mean the moon belongs to the US?

    What you fail to realize is, your ancestors forgot their on true Creator and started warring with its own neighbors. Just as with all other peoples that forget Yahweh, if you don't build on the relationship with Him, you are going backwards then.

  • @OAlittlechief

    I know everyone thinks it's all about them, these days, but it's not!

    See God has other plans friend. You just now are getting to know what His strategy is, aka scripture.

    I have no doubt that a good portion of 1st Nations People are descendants of the original hebrew tribes.

    You've heard the old saying, "all roads lead to Jerusalem?" Well the meaning behind that is, we are all Gods children, and He's reconciling us home to the original, promised land.

  • @materialclassified HEY WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO PUSH THE SAME THING THAT TRYED TO KILL OF THE NATIVES WAIT i MEAN ALL PPL THAT DIDNT BELEIVE IN YOUR GOD!!!! COME ON NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHITE BRAIN WASH TO ME !

  • @OAlittlechief

    So, for america to allow the origianal chosen children of Israel to reconcile home in this last generation, the USA had to come into her glory, to allow those to come into theirs.

    In 1948, the jews re-established their birth rights to Israel. Couldn't have happened without the US. This one genration we have all witnessed its growth of people, agriculture and learning. All this from a little smallest country that has no natural resources available, just imagination.

  • @materialclassified Wtf? Were actually all Africans, Judaism came after Buddhism which was were basically all of the humans settled throughout the world

  • @nativeboi401 I Want to know who told you, East coast natives are not narives. NO arguement, NO name calling !! Do you not recognize the MicMac(from Maine), the Abnaki(from Vermont), the Mohawk(from New York)?

  • holy crap!..is that for real??...and dang..tha narrator really goin off like its real big doins!..haha!

  • fake indians lol

  • cont-How is this any different?

  • To any "accepting" and "understanding" Native People: How do you explain that the old ones openly adopted whites AS their brothers & sisters? What of Saugenash-a Potawotami-Mohawk/English mix, What of Jonathon Alder?-Adopted by Ohio Seneca, Blue Jacket-a WHITE Shawnee war chief, Stephen Ruddell-aka Big Fish..A Shawnee, Daniel Boone himself was LOVED by Chief Blackfish, Tecumseh himself had 2 blond, white captured sisters. "The more things change".. Who are YOU to pass judegement on the old ones?

  • I was wonder about these people. . . Hummmm

  • people don't relize that south eastern america has pow wows like these on a daily basis, even european pow wows. if haters don't like it don't watch. respect!

  • @BSbrian. You Know what That BS stands for infront of your name. Your right Bull $#!t. You sould be named brian with Bull $#!t comming out of your mouth. WEe all Know That Poeple have "HOBBIEST POW WOWS" That means Their FAKE. Not Real, Fictionary You might ad. Thats why we don't have a problem like that in indian country because no wite kid has the b@lls to go dance aroung us real Blood Ndns. as for watching Its hard not to watch a train wreck happen You just keep watching it. sayin WTF

  • @manyhawks324

    lol, come on guy i'm not white i'm half cree and dakota and part soto from canada full blooded ndns alright. i wasn't raised to go judge people by what they do ok, i was raised to respect others cultures. and the bs is like a typo, it was supposed to be buckshot, i made a different account cause of it.

  • @BSbrian Look I never said You were white, I just said a white guy wouldnt have the b@lls to go out and dance among us. as for The Bull $#!T Comment yes that was out of line it was Late and my appologies for that. But You Know as well as I do that They (meaning The white ) don't reaspect our culture. especially when You show them the proper way to dance and THEY get offended. I don't Think so. Thats why I take the attitude that I do with these people when it comes to pow wows.

  • The SYNISM in this video is huge. Are these people fucking with us? they look like clowns, reenactors, and jiggolos in the same place throwing a bbq xD

    FUCK!

  • what is truth?

  • have you folks seen the brand new rogue hack which lets you cheat at arena? its amazing, my rogue is in complete arena pvp equipment 2200 rating! i don't actually really want to talk about this but what the heck.. you can aquire it at wowcheatsYnet (replace Y with . ) but do not tell too many people!

  • LOL this is like one of them "'animation conventions" where weirdos dress up like their favorite characters and act out scenes from video games and sci-fi movies like Star Trek and Star Wars. ...Funny shit.

  • so sayeth the speaker... enything them fakes toss at ya that resebles true bia cards they beleive.

  • white people with turkey feathers!

  • where was this shit so i make sure i dont go there.........lol .....next the white man will be copying our culture on the moon...........

  • looks like just another hobbists gathering to me the taken our land and way of life the only thing left for them to steal is our culture and religion......this shit sucks

  • Oh hell no..... Hahahahaha!

  • was that youngbird singin on this? dang just beautiful

  • dead coyote on the road and mandingo are my fav dancers! clan members of the ree-puh-bleekans, and the n-a-a-cipi people! aho! lmao!!!

  • wtf? is this a powwow or what? all i see are zhiniis n round eyes trying to be rezzed out.

  • It did remind me of my favorite joke though - how can you tell a rez dawg from a city dog?

    Well, toss 'em both in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 -

    the city dog will be nice and tender;

    the rez dawg will crawl out with a towel, talkin' about "Great Sweat"!

  • I know how some of you all feel, I sorta do to; you have to remember, though, that Nation doesn't have anything to do with quantum - it's about heart.

    If more Rez Indians would help show Urbans the right way, take 'em to sweat, let 'em pierce, let them BE what they claim, then maybe we ALL could get somewhere.

  • people need to get away from andrew jacksons indian removal act mentality, he still has control over native people still dividing and breaking down their mind

  • Why are you guys talking about natives like that???? You guys have no right to talk about us like that!!! I know some of these people are probably white, but there are North, South, East, and West Indians to....

    BTW: I know you guys probably don't mean it, but just don't talk about us like that....Tepiaj

  • wow that was something else there, not to sound really awful, but wtf. most of these people are not native, whats with the playing dress up thing and i know your hearts are in the right place but this is on the verge of disrespect had it not been so funny. being native isn't about your great grandma being a cherokee princess, its about growing up in a particular place and or with a particular culture and all i see here is a bunch of white folk playing indian for a few days.

  • yeah your right.

    this is really sad and i feel that these people are just imitating our ways

    and yes i feel that this is disrespectful but at the same time it is funny too haha

  • twinmonsterslayer, then why even pray to the ancestor's that were lon ago if someone's great granpa, or great great grandma doesn't count? everyone doen'st have native american blood, why not let the one's that do embrace thier ancestor's ways?

  • hey we dont pray to our ancestors we pray to the creator so dont get that twisted

    and no they shouldnt be allowed to embrace their ancestors ways because then it looks like this. and this is just sad.

  • WTF! Where are the Natives this is so stupid!

  • THE TEN INDIAN COMMANDMENTS

    Treat the Earth and all that dwell thereon with respect.

    Remain close to the Great Spirit. Show great respect for your fellow beings.

    Work together for the benefit of all mankind.

    Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.

    Do what you know to be right.

    Look after the well-being of mind and body.

    Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.

    Be truthful and honest at all times.

    Take full responsibility for your actions.

  • Wow, this was certainly an enlightening discussion to follow.

    With respect to everyone, this Pow Wow was put on by a group of folks in New England that call their organization The Order for the Preservation of Indian Culture. It was founded by an Ojibway who was raised on a Reservation in Michigan in the summers with his father and in a City south of Boston during the school year. He started this organization to educate non-Natives about the culture of his people.

  • IS this video for real?? I mean do these people realy exist here in the U.S.....LMAO I realy like the chic with her fan with big steps running accross the arena hahahaha MAN white people sure are funny even when they think there not...even MR. TWO WOLVES.....lol two wolves f**king he means..... ahahaha he feels them deep inside. GOta be kidding me...... oh well good laugh for me and the fam anyway......AHO

  • DUWALLE!!! two wolves spirit at 1:14

  • would be great if these guys could get on with their own unique lives while they last.Life is short and drop the white man stuff at least while their still alive

  • i would just like to say to the one that says you cant be intouch with a heritage just because you are not of full blood. I am mostly irish, but a very small part 1/16b is cherokee. I am very much in touch with my cherokee heritage. I would not be her itf it were not for the hardships that me people suffered long ago when they were pushed off their lands. I dont agree with the treatment they got, is that because I am part cherokee, maybe, but also bescause I'm human....in the end we all are.

  • First of all, I would like to say that most and just about every white says that where some what Native american? Why? To try to relate to what our ancestors had went thru, the long walk like my desendants(Dine nation) Gener-o-kee sounds more like it. This video is a joke, None of them men know what the Bonnet really means, but wear it like it a prize of authority. Come on now! Half of the these people are violating the law, illegal possion of Eagle Feathers, and migatory bird feathers. Permits!

  • I just wanted to reply to everyone here. Let us not forget we are all members of the same race, the same universe. We were created out of the earth and everything of mother earth or the universe is to be shared. You can no sooner own any part of it than you can own another's spirit.

    Remember:

  • Those 'Natives' have seriously lost touch with their culture.

  • Indian Tricking :D

  • this is why i dont ever bother telling people about my native heritage... im mixed and got the genetic luck of the draw and look more like my mothers side who is german, my dad is shawnee, i even had the misfortune to grow up on the creek rez outside morris city oklahoma...but i generaly keep it to myself.

  • Hide from yourself bearshaman0? You're a fucking pussy and you don't deserve you're native blood.

  • your response makes no sense as a response to my comment... how can one hide from themselves?? i just said i keep my business to myself. i cant even tell you how many people ive met that are so proud to be part native, theyll say things like "my great,great,great x7 grandmother was cherokee", and they try and act native. its absurd.

    "you dont deserve your native blood" like heritage and ancestory is something we earn? i deserve as much as any other person cause i got it for the same reason

  • my dad got horny for my mom...

    my statement was a intellectual introspection your response was just the rantings of an angry child.

  • Angry child? Call me whatever bumpkin but lets look at what you wrote. You call it absurd when people with a diminished lineage "try and act native" and then in response to my statement you say "like heritage and ancestory is something we earn?" You just contradicted yourself and you call that "intellectual introspection"? Yeah, best you stay hidden behind your "genetic luck of the draw" Idiot.

    Proud 7/16 Oklahoma Enrolled Cherokee,1/16Irish, 1/2 Hawaiian EDUCATED and bred in Seattle WA.

  • This is ridiculous..

  • RunningBuffalo, the one who is not educated is you. your telling black, or white people who are of native ancestry not to bother with it because, we don't look like you? come on!!!

  • horrible powwow

  • RunningBuffalo, woah!!! why do you offend people, as well as that blackman, i am black and i have native american ancestry. i don't know where you get off saying because a man is black or white they have no indian heritage. see you follow the white mans thinking... on earth there was never a color issue until the white people started it, how will it end? all black, and white people don't have native heritage while some do don't forget that.

  • You sound as though you do not have a very high education. Your comment does not need a reply.

    You must know the Native ways to understand the Native Thinking. Just stay black.

  • wow i really get a negative -1 for answerings somebody's question about them wanting to know where canton was? come on stop it.

  • lol that two wolves guy has no idea wat he is talking about. all these hobbiest guys are a disgrace to pow wows. tha only reason i wuld go to this pow wow is to laugh at tha wannabe nation. these ppl with no color on their skin need to stop tryin ta be nden and accept wat tha creator meant for them to be......WHITE!!!!!

  • canton, is in massachusettes about 15-20 mins from mattapan

  • okay i been there it is the real deal. . .a pow wow and its awesome i cant wait for it next year

  • They must be re-enactors!! not an actual pow wow!

  • im sorry i have to comment it again lmao, i wana go here just to watch lol! the grass dancer in the blue, i showed this to my grandpa and he said his leg peices look like car wash brushes! omg!!! lmaooo

  • HAHAHAH WTF!! OMG!!! this is crazy all these white people trying to be native!!. Those germans put on a better powwow than this!!!!

  • man this is some crazy shizzzzzzzzz i wonder off camera, if any of the crackers tryna dance fell over, hahaha seen that in texas and i LMFAO and i had to go to the car i was laffing so hard ahahahahhaahhaahahahhahahahaha­h

  • Only the native american Indians wear Regalia, 2 wolves with many kins. You are wearing a costume.

    lol

    What a Joke, Who is the white woman talking? She has lots to learn about native ways and wannabes.

    Whatch the video,,,Wannabe NDN and leave a comment.

  • Wow crazy this is going on my crazy list lol

  • Wow!  The gathering of the Wannabee Nation.

  • LMAO. creative

  • expert hobbyist! lmao im form lame deer montana and this is the wildest stuff ive seen in ages! thanks for sharing this with the real natives in this way lmao

  • Blood doesn't make anyone and Indian. These guys are probably less than 1/16th Native American, and the way they do things is slightly different, but then again Rez natives and city natives do things differently. Apache and Lakota do things differently because they are different cultures. That "Wolfman" or whatever was a bit looney, but who are you to demonize him for being different?

    I do agree this wasa bit comical, but only because its not the way I do things so it seems weird to me.

  • Man the only one i KNow is Don, how did all these white guys get these cool indian names, like running water and walks with Lysol, lol. I've been going to ceremony my whole life, still dont know guys like these ones. Deadly.

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahahahahahahhahahahah thats probably the funniest thing ive seen on youtube

  • most of them are non pure natives. Because they have some blood doesn't mean they should present natives.

  • Who the hell are these people? never seen any of em at any powwow I been to. scary.

  • where is canton powwow?

  • That neechi would look scary 2 a white man in da bush

  • Great video. I'm just glad that at least this part of the Native American culture is still being passed down.

  • dogsoilder01 if you were true Native you would not use the term Redskin,,do you even know where it came from??White ppl use that word to describe our skins that were bounty ed for money.Please be a TRUE kOLA TO OUR PPL AND EDUCATE YOURSELF ON OUR BACKGROUND!!!!

  • OMFG!!!!!!!!!! these people arent skins or traditional people....there bunch of wannabe's that have no clue what their doing....i wish whites would stop saying their skins and accept the fact their white poeple and stay outa sacred and old ways that was givin to the red skins only!!!

    omg

  • yeah well your so called true SKINS drive the same cars, work the same jobs and smoke the same shit as us white people. the only thing you may not do is pay taxes. Youre no better than anyone in the world. we are all from the same planet asshole. its natives like you who give them a bad name. if you were so proud of your culture you would welcome appreciation from other cultures.

    so shut up.

  • Sorry if i sound like a Wanker,.... like i know wtf I'm talking about sheesh!,..... But if i could offer a though,if it lead to an awakening of truth, by that I mean real transcendence above "buffalo burgers"n such,and feeling the joy of "knowing" would it not be a start? it is easy to hate,oh yes but to love,even if you see wrong concerned with sacred acts............ that is something that takes wisdom,

    thanks for your patience,

    blue stones,Cymryu,

    Wales of Lloeger.......

  • i agree with gvhnagewohali im mixed blood and i learn traditional ways so i could be educated. not like mr wolf man who sounds like a white businessman from chicago

  • this is crap, i hate when ppl try to pretend to understand wat they dnt cme close to understanding cuz they posers.........<3

  • this is not a proper representetive of my people , these guys do NOT REPRESENT MY NATIONS FINEST NATIVEZ-Nah-awh!!!!!

  • if you wanna preserve the culture, make money, and put youre people on the world map, so no one ever forgets you, then use Folk-Metal! we do!...vid: "Eluveitie-Inis Mona"...........ps: the sacred island of Mona is the Celtic heart and soul! its our Black Hills!! spirits are still in the woods. ancient voices call not to be forgotten.

  • Rofl! Funniest shit.

  • I bet these are the kind of people that get mad over the break dancing and fun we have at PowWow. You know cause these people think everything is so fucking sacred and tradish. Is that dances with wolves in the backgrounk with his stick?

  • H0ly shit! I'm white, I should pow wow as well... all the ppl there were deff not indians...at least not the indians I imagined seeing at a pow wow.

  • exactly,

  • God, I fucking HATE watsichus! Idiots! Phendi t'owae... you are always "playing Indian".

    Get a life and know yourself and stop stealing from us!

    Assholes, all of you poser Wanabe Tribes!

  • what a whiny bitch you are

  • People like the ones in this video just give mixed blood people a bad name. It is true that alot don't take the time to learn the right ways of doing things, but some of us do.

  • Everrr

    I'm Cdn. And it sounds so different to hear our people speaking with different accents than ours.=]

    love it. reppin' the fancy shawl.

  • It's a good thing that they had Two Wolves Spirt Mitchel there to protect them. I don't think that he'd last long against the big fella in the buckskin leggings though

  • THis is why I dont Powwow very much in Northeast!!!!!!

  • LOL! @ all this bullshit

  • who the dancing swift kick and morning breath hahahahaha

  • lmao holy was that lady dancing or was learning how to teepee creep lol / poor guy wearing queenie on his head hahaha

  • mowhawk pride

  • very good video I am the secretary for the Metis community of Indian nations in Idaho we are a teaching tribe and love to see tribes and nations teaching all types of people about our traditions..

  • The bottom line is that if you want to dance, then you'd better know what you are doing. This is a living culture. You owe it to the hundreds of thousands of Natives that live in the US and Canada, to represent thier culture correctly. Obviously these individuals are very misinformed and it's offensive to Natives when people, especially whites, don't take the time to understand their culture correctly. These guys are just playing dress up and it's a joke.

  • ummm what nations music is this i never heard it before to all the pow wow ive gone to.

  • Wheres Kevin Costner?

  • this is WHITE PEOPLE

    i hate when theythink they are native

  • HAAAAAACHAAAAAAA (how you be at 1:30) im attracted to grass dancers and you

  • ha ha look at the grass dancer in the blue

    dances crazy

    i like the guy in the wolf stuff lol

  • I personally have no idea on the amount of native blood in me. Although I know it's there, I don't believe that the amount counts. Only the lifestyle and choices that each person makes. I'm currently looking for a teacher, although it's very hard when you grow up in a white family and realize what they believe or what white community believes isn't what you believe or feel to be true to yourself. As I said, at most I know that I'm some percent Blackfoot, and some percent Cree. Call me a wannabe.

  • Call me honkey, white man. I'll still call you my brother, or sister, or uncle or aunt.

  • I do agree though, this pow wow looks extremely questionable.

  • iam doing the same recentlly my father found me decided i was his child again after he took off & told me i was part native grandpa was full im going to a native centre, going to pow wows speaking 2 elders & taking native instead of frenceh in highskol.doing some research im taking obijway by researching i even made my own notebook=D that person who said that ur comment was a bad 1 is agreeing wit the white mans INdain Act(discrimante aganist ur own)i hope i helped u.

  • FYI I do agree that this powwow looks questionable at best.

  • I believe that people such as the ones in this video ultimately have good intentions, but they are just severely misguided, and make bad choices.

  • ok, i understand where both sides are coming from, a 1/32 blood quantum is very questionable as to calimi to be native american, but it depends, My mother was native, my father was white, I never knew my father, but got his skin tone and hair color. What was I raised with? not a white family, but youd say I wasnt native because my dad was white most likely, so....give it a rest

  • I would say you are Native, I have nothing against any Native American who has a blood quantum of 25 percent or more, it's the ones with less, who supposedly had a great great grandparent who was Native and thinks that gives them the right to join in on Native American traditions. do you think they would still be claiming to be Native American 100 or even 50 years ago. being Native American only became popular when dances with wolves came out

  • actually, I have done somewhat extensive research on the trail of tears. People with a 1/8 blood quantum are quite common in the removals. I understand where you are coming from, but yes, many people with that quantum DID suffer quite a bit. Ive actually seen 1/32 blood quantums on the trail of tears, but.....thats questionable.

  • bulls**t - having the "right" has nothing to do with it. you are either native or not. "100 or 50 years ago" is exactly that...100 years ago. grow up little man, its 2008. i pray to god your family lineage does not get below your 25 percent blood quantum. once you get a grip on the real world and take your "dances with wolves" tape out of the VCR, you will see that there are alot more indians with less than your reqiured 25 percent quantum. 3/4 blood, osage/cherokee/otoe
