Is that Tommy Wildcat out there? His hair is long as his. He looks a little chubbier than him though.

I think survival of the culture is more important than genetic purity.

It was an open call dance, they asked for members of the audience to participate. And besides it was just for fun the derogatory comments don't need to be posted

First thing the whites commentin on this need to shut your mouths and keep it that way. Everytime I read comments on these videos I see your racist comments makin fun of my people. And I am sick of it. On another note I thought this video was very cute.

-Native pride. Cherokee/Choctaw(:

Whites forced intermarriage and genocide on the Native Americans in the past. Today it's different. You'd know that if you pulled your head out of your ass.

The culture isn't being stolen nor is it being destroyed. In the past it was but it's different in today's times. And like I said to another user, racism is a very ugly quality to have. You should probably go take a look in the mirror and figure out what kind of person you are.

@Bluebelle9289 Black Africans are the fastest growing population on the planet. Africas population could grow to 10 billion by 2100 if birth rates continue at the present rate. The white population will probaby die out by 2130, possibly sooner. Whites elected to have fewer children, and promote diversity with other races. Whites forced intermarriage and genocide on Native Americans.

@Bluebelle9289 Native American gene pool will be diluted. if we continue to mix with other races there will be no pure native americans left who are the real first people of the land. Native American culture and identity will be stolen by the very people who nearly destroyed them.

[guiltytangent]

@Bluebelle9289 And so is ignoring Native American genocide.

@gfc56

Native Americans marry outside their race it's a bad thing. White people and African Americans marry outside their races, it's ok. What's wrong with this picture?

@guiltytangent

You are the one who is an idiot. Racism is a disgusting quality.

@guiltytangent I agree, it IS disturbing. Indigenous people evolve and develop over thousands of years to live in the most effective manner on the land they are native to. Their bodies develop to survive in the climate and digest regional foods, their spirits develop a connection to the land so much so that they ARE part of the land and its where they belong. When races move from one land to the next all of that is lost and the repercussions can last for centuries. It sucks, it really does...

[guiltytangent]

@fuzzwahmrp Racial purity goes hand in hand with cultural preservation. The fact that most people who claim to be the Native Americans and inheritors of our land looks white now is disturbing!!
