Great video me and all my homies from Winnipeg are helping clean the communities and taking care of the woman that are going missing and teaching the youngins abt their culture. we have serious connections that are helping out actually making a difference and dealing with situations that the cops turn away frm and pretend they don’t know about but we’re progressing that’s all that matters 💪

I'm reading a book my Ian Gatley about Tobacco. It's very interesting and illuminating. I'm currently reading about how the white man discovered the source of the pipestone used in the construction of many ornate pipe pieces. I'm curious about the rituals and the ceremonies regarding the American ways of smoking their pipes, including the practical side as well. The pipe piece opening typically is rather small so I'm curious how much tobacco was placed in it.

They're not called indian, Indians are from india. And yes, native Americans are dark. I hope you're not trying to say that. The first natives were black Africans.

You can find documentaries on the Mongolian here in America. It's hard to find anything on the original aborigine, because we are still here being misclassified as African-Americans.

And native Americans didn't start getting pushed past the Mississippi until later they fought in those Southeast regions with Europeans for that's why Andrew Jackson submitted the Indian removal act or the trails of tears that story is about black Americans

7:53 is this even just tobacco or maybe other plants mixed in with a little tobacco, cause it looks like it is not dried tobacco leaves. Or is it red willow and not tobacco at all?

@motophone8794 2 ай бұрын

This is historically inaccurate. The American Indian has been here doing business with the European before the slave trade began. They had an industry of tobacco trade for years. After many years, the European enslaved these Indians and forced them to work the crops. They forced them to give up their identity as Indians in order to maintain their property or move to reservations. These people featured in the video came from CHINA via the Bering Strait and populated the NW and moved down into the MW region of the United States. They weren't pushed out there. They came in that way. The copper colored Indians populated the east and SE regions and beyond. Today they are called black or African American. True Hisory.

I live in Minnesota and I am black and we all know that the natives got it bad. Especially in the projects. They are hit bad with opioid addiction. It’s been like that way before fentanyl was a thing. alcoholism is another one. They are good people though. I’ve been up north to the reservations they are the slums up there. People in the city don’t know there are places like that in our state

Because generally they would be talking about nicotiana rustica which is the standard “sacred tobacco” in north and South America. This isn’t about that, it’s just a community trying to reduce smoking with some traditional dried bark. It’s a misleading title

My First Nation or Native American or indigenous or aboriginal homies come in all colours sizes shapes and characteristics. First of all I know u know the right term so be careful before u go somewhere in real life n say that in front of the Wrong person lol but u should educate urself lad because In all races, u have latinos and asians that can be and are as pale as any white “European” person. Even Italians that are caucasians can be dark like the “Indian” u say or white pale like a baby’s bum u just need to educate yourself celestene

Darker skin comes from melanin and sun exposure their ancestors were probably a little darker just like most of our ancestors.

It’s seems like you’re punishing the very ppl who kept sacred Tobacco alive, by enforcing more laws. That’s just repression. Legalize all medicinal plants 🌱

I confess, I’m American, but I’m not Native American. And I know I can never be a member of any tribe. All the same I do like to smoke tobacco, be it pipe or cigar. I draw the line at cigarettes. I’m a Lord of the Rings fan, and I like to call pipe tobacco pipe-weed, as it’s called in the books and movies.

Instead of saying stolen land and stolen people why don't you call it what it really is? Conquered land and conquered people. We came down out of the mountain, down the rivers, acrossed the oceans, sailed the seven seas, conquered every land and every people, and then went to space. Excuse me if I'm not ashamed of the pride I feel for my people.

Yep, and you have absolutely run every territory you conquered into the ground. Your greed has ruined beautiful people and lands. You've co-opted other people's histories and accomplishments and perpetuated lies that you have done so many great things. I'm so happy to hear someone speak out proudly that you have done all of these disastrous things . Your children will know exactly whom to blame for the conditions they shall inherit. Yes! Please keep being proud of your wicked works.
