Lakota Dance in Siberia

[ENTaKenALiVe]

And that one in the buckskin looks like a robot

[ENTaKenALiVe]

LOL! Those are even Crow Style Regalia. Nothing against the Crow..but yeah those are Crow Style Regalia. They should get their facts straight LOL.

[Evgeny38]

Very good !

[ASacredSpirit]

ooooookaaaay.

[A7X2200]

they don't know what the he'll ther doing anyway siksika all the way

[NativeHope]

They're just trying to connect with their white brothers and sisters. The first step is to forgive one another. The second step is to get along with one another. The third step is to share each others' culture. The last step is to give thanks to each other for their support for one another. If we are going to live together in this world, this MUST be done.

[miemagmie]

@NativeHope Then I´ll make the first step, If I could I would take all the pain away and say sorry for all what happened in the past and what happened today to all your people. It needs millions of millions sorrys to heal the scars. .......Peace and Freedom.....for everybody

[RiRoN1]

[RiRoN1]

[apachelopez]

english,spanish ,russian ,its all the same!

[TokalaChikalawin]

@apachelopez You are mistaken. This position is almost like to be a rasist.

[apachelopez]

@TokalaChikalawin -Please if your gonna try to correct me or even give me a lecture at least spell the darn words right!---rasist???--Shoodii Alts iisde Nde Ariizpe---

[TokalaChikalawin]

@apachelopez Is it the only one your argument? ;) Spelling? Sorry, English is not my native language.

But maybe it was me who was mistaken - when you said - "All are the same" - you meant - quality of people or colour of skin? Not all white people are of the same quality.

[scheming8rythem]

i seen a fake pow wow in jerusalam in israel... BAk to the ROOTS all over the WORLD!

[unshodpony]

Thats pretty funny stuff,ya got any more cartoons?

[kardancer1]

But what if they learned from Native American's who wanted to teach them? Also what about my question about those who have very little native blood in them do you take offence? I'm just trying to understand. Like im an American right, I do also have some Irish blood, and I do Irish dance, but the Irish don't see that as offensive. Well they also were taken over by others and treated badly by the English "which I am too". I just don't understand, Their interested, not hurting you as people.

[Payu7]

C'mon people these are people who took the time to learn some of our dances and are trying to show their area what they learned...Nothing Offensive about it...They seem sincere about it. it's a complement....Im tired of people complaining because a non N8v is involved with our culture....Build a bridge...GET OVER IT

[LakotahR]

wtf is a "wanna be" tribe?

[lakota477]

This is offensive. These folks are members of the "wanna be" tribe. They want to be Lakota. Would they do this to be Jewish? or Black?

[jasonmathias]

@lakota477 May I ask why it is offensive?

Perhaps they admire the Lakota.

[quicksilverwade]

this is appropriation and theft of our culture. these fake northern plains are ghost indians and should be mocked and ridiculed.

[kardancer1]

@quicksilverwade I'm confused why it's theft of your culture? Why don't you see it is people who admire and want to learn about our culture? Also if I learned to dance like that, and only my great great great grandmother was native american, and the rest of my family is European decent, would you be offended then?because, I have very little in me? Also these people dancing do look sorta native american. Are they, or even part?Does anyone know?

[quicksilverwade]

@kardancer1 this is from a friend OLChemist: Wearing regalia may seem minor and unrelated to this. But, when done by those who have not been invited to participate in our ways, it is an act of colonization. It an act of usurpation that threatens our authority to define who is an Indian.

[apachelopez]

@kardancer1 --Thanx!--I needed a good laugh!

[kardancer1]

@apachelopez lol your welcome. I didn't realize I was being funny!

[maii68]

that's great. i was in gorno-altai in 2001 and missed out on the chance to meet a guy who did this at the local lake for tourists. we stopped by his home, but no one home, so we left gifts to let him know that real lakotas were in town...flattered by the imitation.

[junior2817]

stoney park first drum group singing on the P A !!! LOL

[quicksilverwade]

fucking a! these are the palest looking bunch of freaks ever!

[TokalaChikalawin]

I know your elders said that if you can't say something cleaver you'd better stay silent so you'll look wiser ;)

[quicksilverwade]

my elders know what is right and that you are wrong! hoka hey!

[crs121]

The womens traditional dancers in this vid are the worst. They should have got real natives to take to Siberia.

[sacalante]

i saw the video and i think the dancers need more training even if are from the Lakota Nation Saca-la-Iewa

[niimiipuu1973]

Are these half breeds or what?

[alexfromnsk]

they are russians.

[wuliechsin]

@niimiipuu1973 I hate the trem half breed. We are called mix bloods. My Grandfather is Full-Blooded Oglala-Lakota

[Essyemmm]

@niimiipuu1973 It's about THE "PEOPLE" doesn't matter who married who or who beget what..DON'T YA KNOW ANYTHING??? Geeeeeeeeeeez "Halfbreeds"..You should be so lucky ya wanker!! >:(

[miighankurt]

There are not Natives they white folks from Europe impersonating Natives.

[Janilenae2007]

well no not europe asia

[dksancarlosdk]

It is illegal for People who are not affiliated with a recognized tribe in the united states to have posession of Eagle Feathers. Please, report them to the unites states wildlife fish and game dept. Thanks.

[miighankurt]

dksancarlosdk there's a whole lot of impersonators in Europe, they got pow-wows and everything all of them fake Natives. There's also some Mexicans dressing up Lakota playing music in the street all over Europe and in Turkye. The whites in US do that to. US govt wildlife fish and game dept don't care.

[dksancarlosdk]

wanna be indians.

[OguzKhanTuran]

the indians you know origined from siberiya !

[Jamz0ne]

So, its still not the same culture though. Just couse we came from there dont give them the right to copy our dances and way of life. Dont they got there own culture to be proud about?

[OguzKhanTuran]

this is their own culture man :S

YOU ARE BOTH BROTHERS !

your cultures have the same origin !

[Jamz0ne]

No it aint! They may be similar but they are not the same. They may be from the same origin, but ours evolved to adapt to the Plains way of life. These guys are from the Wannabe Tribe.

[miighankurt]

JamezOne Turkish folks don't know much about Turtle Island and they see Native folks as distant cousins. They also don't know english that well like what a wannabi is. So it's easy for whites to come impersonate Natives and take from Turkish folks money and donations. You also get fired up young guys sayin stuff like OguzKhanTuran says. We are working on fixing that. lol

[TokalaChikalawin]

Why other nations don't protest when foreigners sometimes get into their culture? Why Irishes let others to dance jiga? Why Japaneses let others to go in for karate? They understand that they won't stop to be Irishes or Japaneses if forigners do it. Culture can't be stolen, it can be lost. But it won't be foreigners' fault!

[miighankurt]

dostum Kizilderilierla normal dost olarak konus, soyleme Sibiryadan geldiler, yanlis anlarlar. Soyliyebilirsin ayni irktan geldik tama diyecekler ama fazla ustune gekme. En iyisi normal arkadas olmak ve baska seyleri konusmak, hava dan su dan sonra iyi arkadas olurlar ve kacmazlar.

[OguzKhanTuran]

evet haklisin kardes

[miighankurt]

sagol kardes Miighan kanalim bak ve orada beni ekle

[MegaJaMs]

LOL, those people aren't even Siberian natives, at least not in general. Just look at them.

Russian =/= Siberian Native. The Russians are pretty much invaders originally, and of course they have mixed a little with the locals, but as they are up to 100 x as numerous in some of the places, it mostly affects the locals, not the Russians... Search on Goolge for pics of: Chukchi, Koryak, Altai, Tuvan, Nenets, Evenk, Nanai, Sakha, and many more, and look at them.

[OguzKhanTuran]

I know how they look, thank you man. I am Pan-Turanist.

[MegaJaMs]

So, why did you say they're brothers, when they're not native Siberian in this video, but Russians?

Anyway, Native Americans went to the Americas at least 10,000 years ago, they're hardly related to Turks at all. In fact, they're a genetic isolate.

And if you're a typical Anatolian, then you're not even related to some of the other Turkics, except by a few ancient lineages.

Your 20xgreat grandparents must mean a whole lot to you.

[OguzKhanTuran]

Yes you are right Turkic People are hardly related to Native Americans, not only genetically but also linguistically and culturally.

I am from Anatolia but my forefathers came from Crimean Tatar origin. Today in Anatolia there are millions of Turks with Tatar origin.

[MegaJaMs]

Ok, I obviously didn't know you're Tartar. Nevertheless, As I said, Those people in the video are Russians, not Siberian Natives - thus completely unrelated to Native Americans - within a reasonable timeframe.

I also doubt that there are that many cultural affinities between Turks and Native Americans - unless you talk about specific small ethnic groups (Tyvans/Altay for example).

What cultural similarity is there between Anatolian Turks (Tartar or not) today and Native Americans?

[ayse477]

the russians are slav etnicity,in siberia the people are mongolians and turks.,and both of them came from the same etnicity.

[TokalaChikalawin]

I know those people, most of them have Native Siberian blood. By the way there are Native Siberian Tatars. Some of them almost look like europeans. Don't speak about facts you don't know exactly, you look foolish.

[001napoleon]

i wonder where they got al those giant feathers from??

[AndThenRealityStruck]

I once saw a group like this get arrested in the states.

They had the eagle feathers and all the authentic regalia, but the only problem was that they weren't native/lakota and couldn't provide the authorities-with the documentation to carry feathers and skins (endangered items). i saw how they were stripped from their feathers and arrested...guess there are laws against this over there. It turned out that they were Andean street musicians, who just wanted to make more money selling cd's.

[TokalaChikalawin]

We don't have such laws here!

[spareaxe]

Where exactly in Siberia? That was an amazing gathering there, they probably knew this was special.

[alexfromnsk]

Novosibirsk. It was an international culture open-air fest.

[kardancer1]

@spareaxe It is close to Russia, it is in Asia. A lot of Russian People live in Siberia because it was taken over by them years and years ago. The natives in Siberia are Asian. Historically and Scientifically it is said that Native Americans and Canadian Aboriginal People are originally from Siberia they crossed over thousands or years ago.At that time there was a land bridge connecting the two pieces of land.

[mubbbu]

love the headresses
