  • its not indian, its native american! Indians are people from India. Society should learn to adapt to calling "American Indians" Native americans, not indians from America!!

  • The problem is they don't teach what happened to the CA Indians in schools. We had Indian massacre's here to . I find native Americans grinding stones sometimes and always wondered what happened to them tell I googled it.

  • My grandfather went to one of those "schools" when he was 12. He and his 5 brothers were tricked into going-their parents I mean... Any way, I am proud of my Karuk/Shasta heritage. I am trying to learn the Karuk language, I find it a difficult, but beautiful language. I love the regalia too. I find that the more I learn about the culture the more I love it. My father grew up with it, in it... This is a wonderful thing this video. Yootva.

  • take pride in your tribe dont be afriad to say it or dumb it down to native american

  • @scarierthantheIRS actually the word indian is generic for the word Indigenous. East Indians are a collection of what were several independent Hindu states, that an english company decided to take control of, and make them slaves to grow tea for them. Indian = Slave again the word amarica comes from the spanish meaning new world. i dont know what a native new world is but i know what Anishinaabe is, i konw what Yurok or Haudenosaunee. Native Pride yes Native american not. simply Anishinaabe

  • "Quicker is better than longer" lol I guess that prof. never heard of "NDN Time"! LOL

  • Really cool video :)

  • America is the name of a dead white guy; India the name of a river in South Asia. If it was me, I'd go for the river.

  • @scarierthantheIRS White people always tell us we need to be called Native Americans. My family and most other indigenous families have always referred to themselves as Indians and the recent political correctness of todays change society certainly won't change that.

  • It's Indigenous!
