Back in the 70s, I picked up a hitchhiker near Colorado Springs and dropped him off at my destination in Cheyenne. He was going to the Crow annual tribal gathering and invited me to go. It was a tempting and appealing prospect, but I thought the presence of a white man might not be appropriate. I've regretted that decision ever since. My passenger was a fine individual, and totally representative of the calibre of people depicted in this film. Thanks for showing me what I missed.

I can honestly say that this young man serving as a mechanic, was no easy joke in Iraq. I did three tours in Iraq. One in Kosovo. I went as a combat engineer the first time, and a Transportation Operator (Truck Driver) two times. It's no easy task. Mechanics were in harms way as much as the next man or women. 12 years I served. Thanks to these Crow Natives for honoring veterans.

I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Mr. Jefferson, back in the summer of 2021. He is every bit as proud and enthusiastic about the Crow nation and the Crow fair in person, as he was on the video. It was an evening that will not be forgotten. I look forward to meeting him again.

BLESSINGS TO THE GREAT APSAALOOKE NATION..!!!!.. from the GREAT NAVAJO NATION..!!! Yup Americans are always try to find a identity or to identify with something...!! We as Native People don't have that issue...!!! Strength to our NATIVE SOVERGNITY..!!! NATIVE INDEPENDENCE!!!!!

I will carry our traditions to my child and grandchildren and so on forever proud to be Native American 🙏

Yo that’s me at 7:08, in the black on the right, the man talking is my grandpa, he raised me. He passed away and I come back to this video to hear his voice

Coming from a family of men that to this day still serve … this hits so home … 🥺🙏✨ Beading is so stress relief … it’s freedom Family is everything … It’s funny lately I don’t feel human either, I feel like a movie everybody wanna watch for their own selfish ness but nobody wants to really understand what I’m about … except my own ppl … this one hits home in my heart on so many levels. How do we make our own conditions better for all our tribes? Unity … it’s not just a native thing … it’s a everybody who has ever been oppressed thing… Thank u for these videos 🏹❤️‍🔥✨✨🌟✨✨

As a crow in Carlsbad,CA. This makes me so homesick. I love hearing the language my Grandma spoke to me.❤️

I’m crow, I live and rise above any negativity. Many will try to beat me down, but all my native brothers will stand beside me. I will also stand along side my native brother, all Native Americans unite !

Damn I love my people. That was amazing we do have colorful culture here from the natives that on this land and we’re here on this land before anyone was here on this land from Europe or any other continent. If I’m speaking correctly. People from other countries think that we are so drab, so boring, no collective culture… But if they would really dig into the truth of our history on this nation, they would see that this exactly exemplifies what we did have and what we do have that is not appreciated in this country. We do have colorful collective society’s in our country. We do have traditional unique Ness to our land that no one appreciates other than people who know better. I am part Comanche and I am proud of my people. This was beautiful and I cannot wait till one day I can travel and visit reservations around the country and hopefully I am excepted in to see the life and to watch the cultural dance is garb traditions language

I first discovered the beauty of the Crow Nation around 1973 or '74 when I traveled there in August, and returned for a number of years. Now, I will hopefully be guided to the right connections, to share in the future what I have gleaned in this world, to help "gift" their children a future of study in the fine arts, be it painting, writing, acting or music...hoping I am lead to the person in their tribe to best help me in this journey. What a wonderful capture of their celebration and power! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful people.

I grew up in Eastern Montana as a Wasicu (white man) and experienced time with the Crow, Assiniboine, Gros Ventre, Northern Cheyenne, and Sioux people. Compared to the other Native people, the Crow has a certain "arrogance" or assertiveness about them. Hard for me to explain. However, you could put me in a room with 100 Native people, with only one being a Crow, and by just listening to conversations, I could pick out the Crow in 30 minutes. A very unique people. And like most Native Americans, a very proud (and rightfully so) people.

Im Crow On My Dads Side

Proud to be crow and native my name itutbicha Battles Alone part of the Dust family aho itchiick 😊

Such a great video, I am indigenous and have no clue of my culture. Some family say we are Mayan but no one knows. Never let go of your traditions and customs. It saddens me that I don't know what to tell my children in regards to our roots.

I am Ojibwa and I was on a journey I was not feeling good at all and these two Crow Nation boys come up to me and ask me what tribe I am and I say OJibwa. I'm so grateful for your tribe.

Excited to see this being released! Thank you Zach for all your hard work in putting this together. I hope this helps a lot more people get to know the tribe.

It's Great being Able to see videos like this, my Ancestors on my Dads Side's Joined the Apsáalooke an Helped them Fight Custer, Many Blessings Go to the Family's of The Crow People,

I am so intrigued by native Americans 🤩 super curious about their ways and way of life. I remember the first time I’ve ever seen a Native American in my life. The most beautiful family. All of them had this long, jet-black hair that was pulled back into this long braid that went down to the waist. Even the men… very high, very defined cheek bones. Looked like they popped out of a history book except wearing modern day clothing. The whole family had like reddish looking skin. This was in NASA in Florida. The family was friendly too.. I know it’s rude to stare and I wasn’t staring to be rude… I’ve was just amazed on how beautiful this group of people is. Maybe Lakota? Idk.. I have no idea what tribe they were from.. in hindsight I wish I asked 😱 I want to communicate with native Americans and learn about their culture- it breaks my heart to hear lots of people mention how they feel like outcasts. I genuinely wish everyone can show curiosity and acceptance of the beauty of the native ways ❤❤

Thanks to all of you my dad was crow last name Howe even though i live in Wyoming the only time i feel at home is when in the wilderness my mother was white not from good blood my fathers blood comes from strong warriors. .much respect and love to you all.

I watched the parade and it was beautiful! I appreciate the Crow and all Native Americans. Your culture has wisdom and appreciate your Elders. I would give anything to learn how to ride. If those little kids can, I can. Well maybe? Bless all of you.🍄🍓🌺🌷🦄🐴

It's good to be Crow! A'ho

Im a crow and im all the way in texas

Eastern People are still there!!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful stories and people, I’m so glad I found this video and learned something new today.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing film!!

I'm privileged to pass as white because of my father's ancestry, I've seen so many of my family members being discriminated against because of their appearance, because they look Native. At the same time I feel a sense of disconnect because of it, I don't fit in with my family because I'm different. I'm incredibly pale, I have ginger hair, blue eyes. I always felt like an outsider, I distanced myself because I never felt that I deserved to be a part of what they had. I'm not Crow, I'm Cherokee, but seeing this now I truly regret having left all of that behind me, even though I never really felt right being there. I miss it.

I am a stranger, and I appreciate you, you are beautiful people, and god bless you, one day you will have your revenge, and this day I will rejoice, 👏👍🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥

Love your courage and honesty glad to see strong man speak his truth I tried going this year couldn’t not because COVID

da wäre ich jetzt auch gerne wieder

(English/Brazillian/Crow here) my great grandmother tought me so much (up to and including wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts in arctic temps 😆) What keeps you alive is "wanting to live." Much love from Texas!

It's lovely to hear about their culture. I am from Ireland.

Very, very nice documentary, Bravo on the direction and camera work. The pacing is really good, as good as it gets in this genre and the open-ended dialog that does not seem to convince the watcher of anything, just imparts a feeling, that’s a wonderful quality to good documentary and it’s done perfectly here. Enjoyed this!

Oh thank you for making this and posting this! I grew up with my Crow grandma - spending every weekend with her. I spent many years on the rez going to hand games and basketball games in Lodge Grass all the time and Crow Fair every year. I don’t miss living in Montana, but I look back so, so fondly on my childhood with my grandma.

That was super! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your world and your culture with the rest of the world 🤗🙏🤩 Since I’m a kid I’ve been loving everything I get to know about all the First Nations 💚 Crissy from Switzerland

Itchik. A'ho for sharing this.

Wow. Fabulous film. Too beautiful. Thank you for this🙏

My Grandfather was friends with Pretty Paint. He invited us to the Crow Nation in 1974. We lived amount the tribe and loved the people and learned their ways. I was young at the time and would love to have the chance to visit again. Sender Fi to the young Crow Marine CPL from another Marine

I wish more people would see this and help these natives . USA helps everyone except there own .Sorry I wish for change to better life

In scouts we had the order of the arrow and it had a lot to do with Native American traditions. We were the Wahunsenakah Lodge and I have forgotten a lot of what I was taught but never lost my respect for their culture.

So there are a large number of tribes, if they had a united nations and took over the National Park and National Forest Lands we could eliminate motor travel and do like tours on foot or I know they would allow back packing and low impact enjoyment of those beautiful lands that I personally mourn the loss of.

Great video. An amazing look into the Crow Nation today. Such an interesting culture and history

Arlene James' 'the detective' s dilemma' brought me here.

THANKS so much for sharing

Outstanding! Blessings to the Crow Nation

I loved whatching this video. And seeing all the places it makes me excited to Camp again. I did the oh hey there's my camp while whatching the video pan.

Thank you for all who have served and saved, history really sucks but even today people don't know or see what ALL tribes did for us, Thank you...🥰

Magnificent 🙏 thank you for sharing.

Awesome =) good job .. did you know the hand drum singer you have singing at the start is Crow? His Name is Nathanial Brien .. Woodrow Briens & the late Robert Brien Sr. grandson❤

Where we lost our land was the fact that we weren't unified. Had the chiefs of the Native nations, even Mexican Indian nations resolved whatever conflicts we had at the time and unified all nations we would still be the owners of our labd

I will be there this year visiting my best friend from College. I feel very fortunate to be coming all the way from Oklahoma

Was quite Interesting knowledge about the War shirt, how only war veterans can only wear them an having the scalps hanging on them as well, like here in NZ we still uphold our traditions waving our war weapons that had been used in war pre European times. Much respect to the protectors ka mihi kia koūtou👍🏾

I enjoyed your video.....thank U!

❤ All my respect to the American Indian Nation . I wish with all my heart that all the tribes would bond together and take back everything that the Government took from these fine people .

Will there be a festival this August ? I would love to attend! I’m not Native American but I am Latino, so I of course have blood native to Central America and seeing these celebrations really bring me joy

Love it! Urban Rezzer

I grew up in Kiowa country in Oklahoma, North of Ft Sill .my best friends were Kiowas and I seen the hardships they went through but I always respected the elders.

❤🔥 You are doing great! Im cheering you on!

Featured in top 10 videos of the day on walnut.tv/documentaries

Beautiful 😍

This is a beautiful video. Thank you!!! What is the meaning of the fancy dancer’s regalia when the drum beat gets faster? The regalia seems to be alive and sometimes in flight. The man with the turquoise regalia- wow - how did he go that movement when he went low! He had his regalia moving! Must be strong! I appreciate having the chance to appreciate you.

May great blessings and prosperity rain down on the Crow Nation!

I was always wondering where this animosity between the Crow - nation and the Sioux came from? The Crows are one of the most beautiful and fascinating tribes in the US. There is no doubt about it.

Build a hotel so families one by one can go there and live while their houses are getting renovated

Awesome video

My family

Good documentary

I.am half Cherokee born USA. Sometimes I feel like I belong somewhere. Else. To live. Maybe on the reservation 🇺🇸✌🏽🙏

My Great grandmothers crow maiden name nash❤

My grandma was Crow .

Maybe next lifetime I’ll be lucky enough to be born into a Crow family here. Wonderful people. If only the world could see just how wonderful.

They look like your typical Latin American. The Native blood 🩸 is so strong in Latin America that even through all the mixing the physical features are still native strong. The Mesoamerican native people are brothers with the North American native people no doubt about it.

I love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love you family. First Nation's Texas Apache Cherokee Comanche Lakota

I think the tribe crow has an e but I meant board, ravens are ool too they are in yellowstone with ospreys and wolves, cayotes, bears, moose, thermal features, human garbage greed and corruption

"Can do better than that "

I just found out today that I am part of the Crow Nation , The Cherokee Indians and Seminole Indians . I had been knew that I am part Seminole Indian it's the Crow and Cherokee that I didn't know about until today . So I am African American , European , Crow , Seminole , Cherokee Indians and Asian all in one person " Me " I have always been around my African American culture but I never was raised in my European and Native American culture . I have always felt that something is missing in my life and it is getting to know more about my Native American people and family . What I do know about Native American Indians is what I saw on tv , movies , KZfaq , the internet , my mama and some of my other family members. I have always been very fascinated and interested In Native American Indians , where I come from , and my roots . I would love to see the Crow Nation , The Seminole , and the Cherokee oneday . I want to see a PowWow , Go see how my Native American Indian family really live in person . I would just love that . Yall are my people and my family too . I feel like once I get to meet my Native American people I will stop feeling like a part of me is missing . A part of me will feel at home . I hope whoever reads what I wrote understands how I feel and what I am trying to say . In my heart I feel and always had this big connection in spirit to my Native American Indian culture and people . Miss . Linda ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That moment at 17:00 minute, when he said: "Don't treat me like a dog..." That's something people know very well, how to treat someone bad way. I don't like those. But it's my experience too sometimes (it's sometimes really obviously, that they want to hurt and destroy someone else). Just ignorant a...es.

HI its been awhile hope you all are well since this crude going on everywhere.

5:16 come wales❤️🇬🇧💯 5:29

At 15:18 I can see my grandparents house

Braive and free Indian on the horse it's symbol of USA

It seems the main legacy of Native Americans is a collection of mythological stories. I'm not sure how valuable those are in modern society.

Blackfoot Confederation!

Remember the Trails Of Tears - Doc Holiday

If you look at Europe's history at least from Constine forward the real story of who's behind the suffering and loss of life globally. Not just here. The Roman's feared the Christians because they weren't afraid of death. Evedently the word was that if they ever formed a army they would be unbeatable foe. So they painted red crosses on their sheilds. He was debating on whether to use Apollo as his god, but thought that Christians would have more shock value. He was right. He played the scam for all it was worth. He started the Vatican. He was also responsible along with west Rome of sacking the city of Rome. At that time Rome was no longer the capital of the Roman Empire. It was however the richest city on earth. This is why the Dark age scam! Rome never fell it restructured . Rome the investment group. They use their money to corrupt politicians, take over countries and cause war. The like selling weapons for big money at astronomical prices. The Holy Roman Empire! The investment group. To maintain a standing army is expensive and unnecessary when you have all the money in the world. So England, France and Spain plundered the entire globe under the disguise of Christianity. They told the people of Europe it was Holy work. This has never stopped. Europe had its own followers of the Wheel of the Four Directions. The Roman's couldn't out smart them . So they mounted a smear campaign against them. After they became unpopular the Roman's murdered them all. On 11 21 63 They murdered President John Kennedy for attempting to throw them out if the country. I question whether or not the mistreatment of the Turtle Island Indigenous isn't religous persecution from a criminal organization that controls the US Government? They cannot operate without money! A close examination of money and how it's used reveals it to be a very hazardous material. It's also their biggest weakness. To defeat the evil that has plagued Turtle Island fot 500 years and Europe for at least 3000 years all Humanity needs to do is pick a day and globally turn its back on money. Capitalism/ the mafia will collapse. Then we won't all be hating each other for what corrupt leaders and money caused us to do to each other. Please think about this. Investigate the history, and join the anti capitalism movement. Humanity should be free to enjoy each other's wisdom and traditions without being forced by money to make war on each other. I thank you.

I am wondering what does my name Linda Ann mean in the Crow Nation language and what Is my Crow Nation Name what would yall call me ? That would be very interesting for me to know . Miss . Linda ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You can honor the veterans without having to raise that flag.. a flag which represents genocide, lynchings, thieves, rapist, murderers should never be taught unto the youth to honor.

5th grandmother was Crow, married to Cherokee, and thusly all were denied recognition by united states.

I am a Crow Woman who's family was forced into Nova Scotia..driven out & away from our Islands dwellings along the coast of Maine(after being forced to hide from the European on slaught of all "savages"! Then after fleeing & forced into settlement in Northern Sovereignty providences.. Still my great great Grandfather was forced to take on English names.. The English would not acknowledge us as The Scottish Slave owners( yes the Scottish were the original slave masters, dealers& Capture..For as they had no amount of stature In their country, they travelled to find a better life..with this motive! I became lost in the mix . As my family's name kept changing due to society & our survival. 1st we were Crow Natives. Then our Last name become CROWE..then it slowly changed to coombs & Hatch. I only have my native blood& nothing more left. I need to find my way& my people

They did the same to us in Louisiana. Almost killed our native language tradition ect. Now Mardi Gras is the last southern Native American American tradition is under attack
