ive got some white blood in me. my grandmother on my mothers side was polish right from poland and i think for some reason she might have been a polish princess. every time im around the accordian i just want to get up and do the polka,, I attended my very first polka jamberee and it felt so natural. i felt my spirit move to the sounds of two spoons tapping on some guys leg.. and finally,, coincedence? i cant stop watching re-runs of the lawrence welk show.

all of you white angros are redneck crackers ,if you can't speak the language and look like a brown or dark brown native indian then you not a native

i seen( half asian/ white lady) and a white man that had two children ,......and the children look asian also they had color

So white crackers stop claiming that you're native american you're not white maggots

@TheDragon967 unfortunately they do. Jay Tavare is just one example. He is deceiving so many wonderful people. He has started TEARS OF A SHAMAN (there are no Indian shamans) and he is writing for Huffington Post on Indian matters. Rather, his ghost writer, Margaret Doran, is. He is not listed on any of the reservation rolls. Those that know him from his london days have stated he is Iranian.

@Prodma000 for them and my people to fight this "by any means necessary." From them I'm able to see how people religious beliefs and customs can be taken and misused or incorporated as their own without ANY reverence from the originators.

[Prodma000]

@Prodma000 supremacy. I won't waste my or anyone else time debating this because from watching these videos on how Native-American's very spirits if you will are being both and sold at whole sale prices for a profit is at the core as to why I don't accept ORGANIZED RELIGION. They are fighting for what little they have left and because your culture lacks any spirituality at all you feel it's ok to pollute their sacred beliefs. I, as and African-American clearly see why it is necessary

@MrPa1310 I'm sorry but I will definitely have to disagree on that. You what this man in the video is describing is exactly what has and still is going on in Africa today If you listen to some of their teaching they speak of how the white man, through materialism and war, has in essence created instability in the world. We would call it white aggression. As far as ancient Kemet goes well, If YOU chose to believe that then that you. Some if not most feel the way you do because of white
