Navajo Pride

[angelamsspi]

Navajo Pride is my favorite song from the Native Spirit CD... beautiful, I listen to it over and over and never get tired of it ;) thanks for posting.

[fukitol1000mg]

I think i was a native american in one of my reincarnations or many , i love these people such progressed souls devoted and binded to Mother Earth.

[CemanahuacRising]

@linkin7park7 how can you be 75% navajo and 25 % mexican? mexicans and navajos are the same people along with the rest of our people from canada to south "america" we are one people one race. navajo is not a race thats like saying im half german and half french it dosnt make sense the french are caucasian and so are germans. Same goes for us navajo and mexicans are both nican tlaca (indigenous) along with the rest of our people.

[dothisshyt]

@CemanahuacRising you're navajo... you ain't no fucking mexican. be proud of who you are!

[lizuuurd]

i can only wish i was navajo...the culture and its people are so beautiful

[heioo1]

I'm 13, Navajo, and proud!!

[Mojave888]

Beautiful country and people. Thanks for posting.

[diegoleurieux]

This song was used in mexican soap-opera ''Pueblo chico, infierno grande'' :)

[beone011]

For a dine to say we came from Mongolia is completely stupid and uninformed. We were here when the chinese and mongolians were in China. If we were from there we would be speaking Mongolian, We are native to this continent as africans are native to africa. Our only difficulty is our history was orally presented, not written so the archeologists have it wrong! and wrong again!

[bloodynachos]

@beone011 native americans did come from mongolia, do some research. they came from asia somewhere around 20,000 years ago. and of course they dont speak mongolian anymore, they formed their own culture once they settled in the americas.

[beone011]

@bloodynachos B.S. " somewhere around 20,000 yrs ago"? why dont you say 30,000 yrs ago or 10,000 yrs ago? you dont know! Pure Fiction. We were here when Europeans were in Europe and the Asians were in Asia and the Negros in Africa. You and Anglo's just can't accept it. The Truth!

[bloodynachos]

@beone011 your the one who cant accept the truth. native americans came from asia. not all asians came to the americas just a couple of groups.

[beone011]

@bloodynachos hey nacho just get out of our great country! u and your illegals are breaking laws in the U.S.A. You will be deported permanently real soon. get out! We natives don't need you here begging anglo's for jobs and money then hating them for providing this.

[sheepcampwarrior]

@bloodynachos I dont believe that. Maybe there some truth to it. Growing up Dine, I know those Bilaganaas are good liars. That's why they tried to destroy our language so we the young ones can lose their connection with the elders. The elders know many, many stories and are very powerful. Which is why I'm re learning my language and learning more of our songs and stories. Those songs and stories were around way before those Bilaganaas came here.

[beone011]

The land is high desert with beautiful mesas, pinion, cedar trees and sagebrush. We tend churro sheep herds, no buffalo (soiux nation), We lived in traditional hogans but mostly use them for healing ceremonies these days. We have a rich traditional heritage of harmony with nature and peoples of any nation. Come and visit you will be welcome and love every minute!

[bluegreenrach]

@beone011 I'm Navajo and i know we hunted buffalo, deer, elk and antelope before sheep came. we came from Canada and Alaska, we broke off from the Dene, and migrated to the southwest, and also adopted Pueblo culture.

[beone011]

Beautiful Land and Beautiful People! Come to the Four Corners and experience it!. Powerful natives. We are proud we are here and we welcome you! you will love every minute here.

great video!!!GREATINGS FROM SERBIA!!!

[sexxiimotherfukah]

places on the vid are so mystic and peaceful

we must visit some day

[SuperVIDMASTER1000]

i live in southern cali but a true navajo at heart this vid makes me miss how things should be and how there ment to be

[1hayoka]

nothing is impossible ,I came from a HOGAN to the HIMALAYA,followed the story of my grandfather,a DINE story about human. where it all began. there is a story about the clan system and the voice of healing...

[molotovpunk]

the name of the song is deep forest-native spirit-navajo pride!

[professorking25]

did navajos hunt bison? great spirit! i know mild of my mother's lineage. did they really live near cold, full, clear lakes? snowy tall hills?

poo poo on land stealers.

[rezbro08]

hey phxmorninstar when you get to the rez maybe u can work for me become a prof bootlegger or u can sell burn dvds.

[64arizona]

Oh this is beautiful, thank you. I miss home too.

[PhenoixMourningStar]

I wasadopted off the reservation at birth I'm trying to come home i have never seen the nation but my sould cant rest till I come home I do not like the ways of the white world and im 24 so I continue to find a way to come home thank you for your inspiration

[madblunted]

@PhenoixMourningStar once you get home you will feel home, Navajos never feel at home unless they are between all 4 sacred mountains. good luck.

[CarlosMacMartin]

Much love to my Dine relatives in Arizona,New

Mexico,and other places!

[gocal777]

Excellent clip, very spiritual and sentimental tune, I appreciate it ,thanks for sharing.

[7514328]

The lands were not intended to be developed and improved. They already were. We were to learn to live and grow old with it. From sunset to sundown. So that we may become a part of it. And not against it. Our lives have become articial shadows of once was.

[dreamweaverartist]

I feel your words and know they are true. Thanks for speaking what I feel & have always felt.

Redheartwoman

[7514328]

Ours lives and spirit are replenished when surrounded with the Natural body of life. It heals all wounds and revigorates our hearts. Like stones in a creek. Shiney and colorful. Or the winds whispering through the trees. A rythym of life that fills our every sense. With its ever changing colors. Its seasons never to make us old. A sancuary of time.

[joealtmark]

I think nothing of you is artificial... you people are keeping something alive that is not surviving anywhere else. You should be so proud of yourselves. The soul lives more on the inside, these days, but you are keeping the fire alive. An Outsider...

[Miss1Sunny]

Nice vid. : ]

[BobcatsLair]

The vid is nice in all, but why do you have alot of pictures that dont really relate to the navajos? If your giving the message that the navajos are keeping other tribes alive by following there traditions an particapating in their social gatherings. I acknowlege that. But if its about the navajos umm.... Do better next time.

[twilighter4822]

This is a nice video. I'm half Navajo and Caucasian. I one time visited New Mexico and saw the reservation and all tht. It sucks what the government had done to them. anyway, good vid

[viewtifuljoe02]

a mestizo isnt just a Native and a Spaniard. I've also heard that term used in Canada. ("Metis"). Which is usually like a person that has a Cree, Ojibway, Algonquin, or Saulteaux mother and an Irish, Scottish, English, or French father.

[orihimeinoie]

Such A nice Vid, I'm Half Afican American and Native American, or Black Indian, On my Native American side I have Cherokee, Blackfoot and a tiny bit Navajo I'm not sure about that percenage tho, eneyway nice vid,

[tinagaucho]

I would like to ask a question to the Diné: living far away, in South america, I cannot see for myself or learn on site, but I read a lot about the native americans' history - and I want to learn more, about the spriritual side as well. Concerning life in Dinetah today: I read all the books of Tony Hillerman - are they authentic or too much fiction? I'd love to know more...

[RhondaGowa]

Yata hei

[Toodles213]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[navajowarrior93]

navajos came from mongolia and then went up and came over to alaska and then down to arizona and spread out the apache came from the navajo the apache just went further south there language is very simular to ours it just spoken faster

[Ashkii44]

Do you really believe that? Were you there?

I believe the Apache is our closest brother though, but I am still not convinced we came from Mongolia. Many new things are being discovered and new theories are popping up, but you never hear about them. They just feed us with the same old theories and most people eat em up.

[Zapoteca90]

so yeah, most Mexicans are Mestizo, but there are still 12-20 million Natives in Mexico(which is a lot compared to other countries). and the tribes of MX are not that different, it depends on location. The tribes of Northern MX are extremely similar to Southwestern tribes, and the tribes of central and southern MX have more of a Mesoamerican culture, Aztecs and Mayans for example.

Lots of Love to the Dine(Navajo) people from a Zapotec Indian. Keep your culture alive!

[native4life5]

It's nice that you mention this and I agree that the Mestizo's are part Native and Spanish. What aggravates me is that most Mexicans "Mestizos" who live among or near the Native Americans refuse to admit that they have Native ancestory. In high school, some Mexican students were angry when they were told they had Native traits in them. My history teacher, who is Spanish, explained to them their history. They just dismissed it and threw racist comments about the Natives especially the Navajos.

[Zapoteca90]

The reason so many Natives look Mestizo, is because they are. There are hardly any pure-blooded Natives left since the Europeans couldnt keep their hands off our beautiful Native women. the Europeans committed more than Genocide, they committed mass rape, which is why there are so many Mestizos. Look at the Mexican population for example, Mexicans are originally Native Americans, but the majority of Mexican people are no longer pure-blooded because of European rape.i have to finish this comment!

[systemaddictshock]

What does blood quantum have to do anything with cultural, ethnic and racial identity? I find the whole blood quantum offensive as it suggests that Natives are only pure natives according to a certain documented pedigree. wheres your papers? don't have any? then you are not native. the traditional kinship needs to be implemented in order to establish identity.

[viewtifuljoe02]

I've seen some Navajos actually look more Mestizo (1/2White+1/2Indian, which is what the typical Mexican is)

[systemaddictshock]

like me?

[viewtifuljoe02]

Are you 1/2 indian and 1/2 white?, If you are, then you are a Mestizo. Which is what I am. I am your typical everyday Mestizo Mexican.

[systemaddictshock]

What maybe true for you is not necessarily true for others = Subjective statement. There are many different mixed blood Navajos. I thought I have seen them all. So far I have seen Anglo (common), Spanish, Mexican, South American, Asian, Arab and black mixed navajos. Mestizo is just a Spanish word for mixed raced Mexican and Natives, therefore it doesn't apply to the others of different languages.

[native4life5]

Mestizo is referring to the Spanish and Native mixed blood. Come on guys read your history books located at your nearest University or local library. Not fictional books now. People who are half German and Navajo would not be considered a Mestizo. Hahaha Spaniards referred to those who were mixed with Native and Spanish blood as "Mestizos". I rest my case.

[viewtifuljoe02]

I thought Mestizo was an indigenous person (any tribe) mixed with a caucasian (any nationality). I heard that in Canada, these people are called "Metis" which is like the French version of Mestizo. What would that be in english? Anyways, you Navajos would've been Mexicans if the gringos didnt take away half our territory. Some of your great grandparents probably consider themselves Mexicans. I've seen natives that have spanish surnames and speak spanish.

[native4life5]

There is NOT an English term for mestizo. The Spanish have their own culture just like the English, French, and Irish. Mestizo is strictly from the Spanish culture, nice try though. I don't know where you are come off saying that we would have been Mexicans considering that territory was never yours to begin with. The Navajo fought the Mexicans successfully until the Bilagaana rolled in and the Mexicans lied to the Bilagaana. Those lies are what convinced the bilagaana to attack the Navajos.

[lachingadita]

"Mestizo (Portuguese: mestiço, French: métis) is a Spanish term that was used in the Spanish Empire to refer to people of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry in Latin America. The term continues to be used today in the Americas." Check your Wikipedia please.

[viewtifuljoe02]

Is it true that there were Navajos that spoke spanish and had spanish surnames? These People used to be Mexicans, before the US took away half our territory. I noticed the Indigenous people in the US are kind of different from the ones in Mexico. In Mexico, they sell pots, weeds, herbs, toys, pretty uch handmade stuff. And a lot of Indigenous people in the US live off of what the government gives them.

[Hernandez5656]

The video just brings me home. I am proud to be a Navajo. Thanks for the video. Native pride 4life

[Savage1492]

Buffalo on Dineland? haha total b.s. But then that's a scene from a MOVIE. And BlackAge is right, Tipi's aren't a part of Navajo culture. It's just adopted.

[NZealandKiwi]

hey, im from new zealand, but think the way navajo kept their tradition for so long and the way they care for nature around them (along with some other vative american tribes) is great, but i also think the killing and slaughtering of these people is sick, nice video

[nativedayz]

At :24 that's a scene from dances with wolves

[BlackAgeDarkFire]

just to think of our culture, we "Dine People" don't live in Tipi, or celebrated "pop wow" in our ceremonies. we just adopted that stuff form plain north natives. "we live in Hooghon" just to let everyone know.

I love our tradition/culture and my Dine language.

and i love my ancienter.

[gotmyjustinbootson]

i love the HORSE in the clouds! BEAUIFUL!!! love it...proud to call myself a NAVAJO!

[destroytheoppistion]

at :24 isnt navajo..thats more north indianz like rosebud souix or somthing

[oldarizona]

Simply wonderful!!

Thanks

[CarlosMacMartin]

Can you please list the name of the song that

is playing along with the slideshow? The sound

of the flute & guitar is beautiful.I also can

hear some percussion & sound effects in the

background.Thank you!

[rebel072162]

working on it not sure of the song

[jojo0017]

I enjoyed this song it is very peaceful

[cris09123]

i wish all indigenous people were like the peacefull navajo indigenous people. you guys should be a role model for the uneducated aztlan and aztec indigenous people. im not indigenous but i appreciate there being good educated indiigenous people. =]

[clausan77]

I´m looking for a Navajo person... I´m mexican woman and I would like to speak with Navajo people, to know their ideas and more... and of course, to learn english. (sorry for my bad english, I only know just a little bit)

[warrior350es]

I'm half ass

[DJDEMON333]

I just wanna say ....For mi your People are the real owner from this land my respect.

[niyolgaagii]

I am 75% Mexican and 25% Navajo but I feel nothing but 100% Navajo pride!

[linkin7park7]

LOL i am almost the same as you but 75% navajo and 25% mexican but still mexican and native.

[chevycoupe]

Same here. I'm half Navajo and my mom was Irish. LOL I'm going to Arizona this summer to see my dad. I'm proud to have the Navajo blood running through my veins.

[shinoshiqwasha08]

Thank you that was very uplifting (the video, not what everyone was saying). I liked the video very much.

:)

[ludadude07]

Ahee'hee for the upload.. we are indeed the First Americans, something to be proud about.. Just think of these racist bastards as tourist/visitors =]

[jackerooskie]

what's with all the racisim?

have proud of who you are, yes.

but have the pride of respecting other individuals.

don't disrespect other cultures.

[killername666]

no racism for them true N8Vs

just my opinion "jackerooskie"

opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one and each one smells like shet

[killername666]

i agree with some of these pics man, feathers and shet aren't us NAVAJOS. other then that its them other natives brothas and sister.. but right on tho...

haters can all go back to EUROPE and shet!! -n8vmaggot

[nkilla13]

They are just like Mexicans...

[LkOutMtnMan]

Most Mexicans left alive in Mexico now after the "cleansing" are part American Indian esp. Apache! Don't understand your ref to Mexicans though, unless you mean the way the gov't has ruined their pride.

[CarlosMacMartin]

You can say that again,mate! My great grand parents were born in Mexico & my DNA came up with more in common with the Natives north of the U.S./Mexican Border than the Natives in the south! I'm mostly Athabaskan,Sioux,Cree, & Chippewa but had many other "hits" related natives in Mesoamerica:Peuhenche,Maya,Hua­stec, Otomi,Quechua,Puna,Nahuatl,etc­.The southern "hits" were very small in comparision to the northern tribal results.Apache came out in my DNA which didn't surprise me.

[native4life5]

Haha...how much (US dollars) did you spend on your DNA? What were the percentages? Do enlighten us.

[n8tiv3505]

We Don't Jump The Border HA HA HA

[LkOutMtnMan]

There won't be a border after 2010 thanks to Bush and the NWO, PPS Act signed combining Mexico, Canada and US by that year! New money, Amero, new Constitution, goodbye America!

[KHRYSSTIANA]

Beautiful

[wereareme]

everything about a navajo....

it's just something to be proud of.....

[Schizophrenic23]

Like what? The 3 year war against the cavalry? That's just pathetic. No wonder why people call you wimps.

[wereareme]

wow....

nothing against you or anything but....

you're the loser who clicked on the fucking clip....

and get your facts right....

navajos were one of the last fighting american indians in history...

[Schizophrenic23]

I clicked on it to put dumb fucks like you straight. I have my facts straight. Your the one who seems as though you never picked up a history book. Yes, they did fight but not for a while worth mentioning. Your ignorance does not upset me.

[wereareme]

ok buddy, whatever....

I was told these stories over and over...

I never picked up a history book?

I think your mom made a stupid dicision not aborting you...3 yrs of war? that's pretty good...it's like 50 navajos against 2,000....plus the mexicans and the utes......

you don't seem to be picking up a history book....cuz theses epic stories are told over and over in the books....it's pathetic to know you have no life and you have to talk shit to people...over the internet....weak....

[Schizophrenic23]

Again I'm telling you this to set cretins like you straight. Aborting me? Hahah. That's pathetic that's so common therefore boring. Be creative screw boy. "It's like" see your not even sure how much on each side. I'll say it again pick up a history book you stike me as someone with tragically underdeveloped frontal lubes.

[Ashkii44]

Set us straight... LMAO

[Schizophrenic23]

lobes* hahah...but anyway...How can you comment on something you know nothing about? 3 years of war is pathetic. You don't see the reality of it all. Not to mention the exact descriptions. Navajos were in the thousands boy. Why do you think their the second biggest Native American tribe? Well the Cherokee is first but hey they were one of the ones hit first and one of the first to replenish their forces.

[native4life5]

You're the same idiot/ignorant person who I responded to from another video. You're an uneducated sad foreigner. Go to school and be educated for cryin' out loud. You obviously don't know American history. Navajo is the largest Native tribe in the US according to the 2000 census and American history books...Duh-hee.

[Schizophrenic23]

On the contrary, i live on the rez and i'm 16(in college by the way) I haven't seen a census in forever but now knowing that it brings up the question why are the navajo one of the largest of the western tribes? Simple. THEY GAVE UP AND GAVE IN QUICK. I can understand how the cherokee are one of the largest being from the east. American history or Native History? Let's her your cognition on history, hm? :D If any...

[ambienttechno]

beautiful video, song, beautiful people.

[mikhaelomar]

my ansister is in the image on 0:47....najajos are so pure of spirt i love being a part of it.

[COroom156]

CarlosMacMartin's comment is a good one and meet7soses comment on columbus day is also another good one ha ha nice.

[johnwindsurridge]

Wopila for shaing this clip my kola. be strong ok. John Wind

[barbacoa2021]

no racism

[meet7sos]

I am from Greece and i was in Manhattan before 3 days and I sow the stupid americans to celebrate Colombus day... They are actually celebrating the massacre of the indians...

[Rezninja1]

i'm proud that i am a dineh of the Navajo nation, alway will be strong and wise in the beginning and to the end. Lose your addiction to what is bad for you, and discover who you really are, if not, you'll suffer......like me, that why i'm learning my language again.

[neuses4]

I grew up on the rez and loved every minute of it I love the culture of my NAVAJO PEOPLE

[dmaet2006]

Typo: I meant  "which did not include NAC or POW WOW."

[CarlosMacMartin]

Always be proud of who you are no matter what your

race,color,or creed! Na'kai Di'neh

[sonofsam420]

To dmaet2006: Actually, NAC came from present-day Mexico Natives and spread North to the Commanches and then to Navajos and other tribes and nobody can pin-point where pow-wow's, as they're known today, originated.

[dmaet2006]

Yeah...I guess...I was taught about MY Navajo tradition which did include NAC or POW WOW.. My grandfather was one of the last Navajo medicine men. he died when he was like 103 or so. Very wise man. He's the one who told me about my culture and tradition so I don't think he would lie about something like that.

[williebitsilli444]

my great granfather is a medicene man and so is my uncle but my grandfather is 99

[RSWHITEHORSE]

i dont have pride! PRIDE COMES BEFORE CRASH. i have respect and love for my culture. LOVE HEALS ALL THINGS. PRIDE only creates hate for other people who breathe and bleed just like me. Were Indiviuals!! one mind, one body one soul.

[felitopingu]

Thank you sooo much for this clip, Rebel072162 , keep up the good work.

[dmaet2006]

Navajo pride or Native American Pride? Pow Wow and NAC is not part of our Traditional Dine Culture. We adopted them from the Sioux natives. We have our own Traditional ceremonies. Never Forget your TRUE Dine Traditional culture.

[sevenx007xseven]

That is so true....

[tone2287]

native pride from the north to the south!

Brown pride!!!!

[RollingThunderHorse]

Truly wonderful!  What is the music?

[rebel072162]

sorry dont rember

[wolf4555]

This is just beautiful... It reminds me of the area I grew up in..

[etsosie]

Love the video reminds me of home...adored the pics

[Forevermore2007]

Beautiful, Native Americas are the most peaceful people in the world.
