Descendent of famous Native American Indian shaman Wovoka

Shiloah Bender, direct descendant of Wovoka, speaks about Paiute Indian medicine man Wovoka, creator of the Ghost Dance. Wovoka was one of the most famous Native American shamans. Wovoka had family ties in California and Nevada in Paiute areas of Coleville, Mono Lake, Bridgeport, Bishop, Yerington, Walker River and Smith Valley.

Respectfully, I disagree. I have the history of two lands in me, including this one (Canada) and I respect both. My point is that racism of any kind is wrong - from any people against any people. Terrible things have been done and are still being done, and we need to speak out against them, but that doesn't justify attitudes like Imerbrish's. Listen to his prayer. That is where we will all find healing.

What you call "for the good" no choice of ours,for the good ment getting rid of people for the sake of progress. we are always Focused in the past, that is what TRADITIONS come from, It keeps what's left of our NATIVE cultures from disappearing for the sake of progress... so yes the PAST is very important to all native americans. i know for a Fact that what your PHD.s know of the world... and the human fossil records ... their eveidence could fit in the back of a small pick up truck.

This was beautiful video and thank you for sharing. To the people who disrespect this message, it is a reflection of your spirit; your lack of compassion & arrogance; your diseased thoughts. My question is, were you born w/ these thoughts? There's a great LIE that permeates life from people/beings who wish to control ALL of life. One way they are accomplishing this is by slanderous propaganda & by incorrect, incomplete & false history classes in school. Wake up & LOVE each other b4 its 2 late!

erase the comments that are disrespectful. funny, how so many people online can "act brave", yet these same nitwits would be quiet near a bunch of Indians or, whites, or whoever they tend to have a grudge against. Funny. No integity anymore: if you cannot say something to someones face, than shut up.Trust me, Id say all of this to any man.
