This said from a gentle heart & not to be taken with offense. I would venture to shed a little light. But for all intents & purposes...It is considered bad etiquette to photograph Any First Nation's People's sacred ceremonies without the consent of the dancers. It is like taking flash pictures of the Pope at Mass within the Cathedral in Rome. At Pow Wow's you will hear & learn this within the first minutes before the dancers come into the circle for Grand Entry. ~*Walk Softly in Beauty*~ @;}~
People only care about indigenous people when it is beneficial to them. If they came to your neighborhood and asked for their land back where most Americans reside I bet you would not have such kind words then.
@kbilzs your a retard! I live in tucson and have many native friends and have opened my home to the ones in need without charging them a penny for anything, including food. You sound like the brainwashed society people who judge a nation or race by a couple of bad experiences with a couple of people not realizing not all people are like that! Its an INDIVIDUAL thing, not a race thing! And for the old saying go back to where you came from, america is where I came from! now what?
@wheelori814 You obviously did not read my comment because if you did you would realize the angle i was coming from but since you did not I have too apologize for not being contextual enough. Sorry Dude or Dudette.
Anything pertaining to spirit belongs to the common heritage of mankind and should be shared graciously with all. It's great (and only right) that these dances are being recorded and posted on Youtube, where they may provide spiritual inspiration to all for generations to come. When we refuse to share spiritual insight, we all become spiritually bereft, and suffer more than just spiritually (just look at the pain of Mideastern religious conflict). No one can own God, or even any path to God.
@TheWiindigo I fully agree with the right to privacy, but within the context of what I consider as the three divisions of sentient beings. 1). The individual 2). The individual and his/her friends/family 3). The community of sentient beings throughout the Universe. I.e., I would never contest the right of an individual to a private ritual, or a family or group of close friends. But once a ritual passes beyond one's inner circle, it should be done for everyone, or not at all.
I travel around the southwest recording Native American dancers and artists. Why this video brings negitive comments. I have not a clue why, this is. If you want to make a negitive comment. Please watch my other videos first. Most of the dancers in this group aren't even Hopi. Realize this gives the dancers a way to share all there hard work with others. So lighten up, you've been watching to much TV. Geeeeze
Far more people thanked me, then complained. If you'll notice, you can tell. Only the younger less educated made negitive comments. Once again, this is not a Hopi ceremonial dance. I was told it was a Supia Corn Dance, by one of the dancers. Come on folks, lighten up, it's a dance. If the group didn't want to share it. They would have done it in there back yard.
I'm hopi myself & I know that some/ most Hopi's could find it offensive when someone like yourself is recording the dances; but don't take it in offense, when you come to the villages & try to record they'll be ALL OVER YOU. :) -& yes this was for the public, if they didn't want you to record they wouldn't have took their group publicly to dance.
I have many friends on Old Oraibi. And will be back their this summer. To see my friend Lonnie Nutumya and Ahkima Honyumptewa. Who are both Hopi artist. I have attended several dances on the Hopi reservation. I never attempt to record any of there dances. I was only one of several people recording the event. The dance you see. Was a Sapai Dance, anyway. And not a Hopi ceremonial dance.
Yeah it may be a public dance but these dances mean something to the hopi. Its ok to record them but make sure you get permission to record it before. Just make sure that you go through proper approval.
They asked me I've I wanted to record it. Every thing you see on my You Tube channel. The folks are first asked. Then I give them a buiness card so they can find it on You Tube. What are you? Some kind of Injun Cop? Sould my son's Navajo wife know you? Are you a real important Indian?
If you are so all knowing. Why didn't you recognize that was a Supai Dance. The Hopi Dancers were doing. They are a tribe that lives up by the Grand Canyon. Think, Think, Think before you type or talk.
@jpavinyama if they didnt want them to record the dance they wouldnt have dance in the first place where pahana's would b. besides its a social dance they can record if they wanted to. here at the village people record these dances and ppl dont ask if they had the dance groups permission to do so. y make a big fuss over it. i record a lot of dances and no one has said anything to me
Can't believe how many hits this video is getting. Most popular videos I've recorded. Beside my interview on Antimater Radio. And it was about the Hopi. Check out my Hopi Trip from this summer. On this You Tube channel. RD47blog
