  • I remember the first time I watched this. I thought it was some German 'lover' of native culture, but I remember feeling tough at the same conflicted time. When I met Nicholas and found out this was his art piece - I thought brilliant. Fucken brilliant. Native people don't get watered down, we just get more potent. We are more a part of this modern world than we are given credit for. Yes we are invisible, but that is our strength. I love this video and I love Nicholas Galanin. Period. .

  • You need to open your eye to the fact that if we don't find new directions for our culture, it will live in the realm of stereotypes.

    This work is absolutely brilliant and highlights the fact the the new generation of aboriginal artists are drawing in influences to expand our culture to a new level.

  • Hmmm. I cannot come up with anything to say about this. Not my favorite sorry to say. There has to be better way to preserve our culture, not on this manner. sorry

  • The music is unimportant be it this techno beat or just straight drumming the trance aspect come across brilliantly. tradition is stagnation, it is better that we grow into new forms of expression of our heritage. this honors the past because we are not leaving it behind but rather propeling it to the future.

  • that was beautiful.
