  • Jimi Castillo is running for Lt. Governor of California as a Green Party candidate. Uncle Jimi has dedicated his life to community service. Please support this indigenous candidacy representing the first people of the Los Angeles basin.

  • If he was real why did he allow this to be filmed.

  • The Red Tail Lodge graciously allowed us to film because we approached them with respect for a public television project about urban Native Americans. They believe that returning to indigenous traditions can help heal centuries of colonization and trauma, and help these young men become production members of their communities.

  • These men and what they are doing is so right. Our young warriors need this. I know of that struggle. But- This is a sacred ceremony. The grandmothers and grandfathers poked at in that fire do not wish to be videotaped. Please, remove/edit this post. With actual scenes from a ceremony it is offensive and should not be posted. I dont mean disrespect but posting video with lodge parts can never convey or carry its spirit meaning to others. So please, remove or edit this now. Mitakuye Oyasin

  • @Eagle Dancer;The whole ceremony is not shown just enough to help expain the help being provded to the youth who are incarcerated. Out of all the brothers in the video you seem to only direct your attention at one person. The fact that part of the ceremony was documented does not make the Sweat any more real or fake. Many if not all ceremonies had been recreated or recorded for various reason. some positive and with permision of elders and leaders. Gabrieliño is derived from Latin, Tongva is not

  • By the way thoostorm7...I do not use a native name I use my birth name...my Youtube screen name refers to what I do and have done .

  • thoostorm7..you are a liar I have no "site" ....all I will say here is that the Gabrielino family whose legacy was stepped on by players isnt around anymore to but if you want to believe in something without looking deep under the surface go right ahead.

  • @EagleDancer7 I WENTTO YOUR SITE YOUR ANOTHER REDNECK FROM AMERICA WITH A FAKE NATIVE NAME

  • @malezo So very true ! Would that more had your attitude ! ;)
