Those feathers are earned. Not bought. Thats why the Chief is a respectable man.

My dudes I am so grateful to be a native American in 2020, they haven't killed us off yet.

Can you imagine how different the world would be if their culture wasn’t destroyed ... All respect 🙏🙏🙏

We feel your pain, your emotions and your silent message to the world. You are not forgotten and will never be forgotten. 🥺😔🙏

Watching this really hurts my heart, yet I am filled with so much love for my People. I have lived 3/4 of a Century, and I remember growing up on the Rez, listening to my "Hootsie" (Grandma) she was over 100 years old then, she died at 118 years old. She would tell us kids stories about seeing the first white man in her life, and how they used to see a wagon train going through their lands. Instead of what the movies portray, she said they would go down and walk beside the whites. She told of how sorry they felt for them, how skinny the little white kids were with hardly any clothes on, and how they would give them food to eat. Show them a easier way to travel through to California, and help them as much as they could. It was nothing like the Movies and Stories the Non-Indians told. It was mostly lies they told, about the Tribal Peoples actual feelings and what they did to help them. I can remember her saying how sorry she felt to see the little white kids barefooted and so skinny, walking along the way, and the stories of what happened. Some so sad, and the way they started sending in the Calvary Men to "force them" to move away. Some stories I don't like to even remember, and my own Father's stories are so sad too. The Tribal People were/are a real loving people, who like to laugh a lot and tell stories about funny things that happened. They like to tease each other and pull jokes on each other. The Non-Native People have hardly any true idea's about the Tribes actual ways, and their inner respect for the land and all living animal life. Today I know the plants, and flowers i can eat and use for medicines, and make tea to drink for different things your body needs. What to do for insect bites, cuts, and things like that. I learned from my Father mostly as I spent a lot of time with him as we worked our cows. He started Ranching when I was young enough to learn,and old enough to try and keep up with him. Today is not like the older times, it is almost another world. I have lived long enough to see the good and bad in people that I could not see before. My belief in our Creator God comes mostly from my Father, and my inner Faith is very deep. We know that there is only One Creator, and He made All Mankind. We knew this before the White Man came to the America's. I believe this is what gave the Tribal Peoples their Honor and Love of the Truth. And so today, I am not so worried about tomorrow or about the world. I will be happy when I am called into the Sky away from this world. Just my thoughts in watching this film.

I'm so proud to be born into such beautiful culture and I am glad to have a grandma to teach me my heritage. I'm part arikara and Chippewa. Both parents are part native American ❤️ ❤️

Seeing them smile is just so amazing, whenever someone in an old film smiles it just becomes so much more human.

Native Americans are great love and Respect From India 💕

People call them savages, But all I see is people who lost everything to savagery.

I've always been fascinated by the native Americans, I don't know why.

"Respect Where Respect Is Due/Honor To Whom Honor Is Due." I Respect The Heart. Thank You

Their clothes, their hairstyles, their adornments, their facial features possessed so much character, they were truly the original rock stars.! I live in a small town in New England where many native tribes lived and wish I could go back 1000 then 3000, 5000, 8000 then 10,000 to witness their lives, so fascinating.

What a beautiful culture

I’m a Native south American, it saddens me that I don’t know much about my own culture

as an indigenous person who was once ashamed of my culture because of stereotypes and racism, these comments warm my heart ♥️

My mother taught me how to make this rhythm on a quacker oat meal box. Then I was taught to create sound with a blade of grass held between the palms of my hands. The knowledge they passed on is the greatest gift I will ever receive.

Cameras are the real time machines.... To see the past is an amazing thing .

I'm so proud to be Native American

Native Americans are people I greatly respect and admire because I find their culture and way of life to be quite fascinating. Godspeed and many blessings from Ireland.

May God bless, protect and guide our precious native American brothers and sisters.

One of the most bravest people on earth. They have gone through the most harshest of times. Love from India.

I’m not Native American, but every time i see about their history, it really saddens me that it wasn’t preserved. There’s so much that we will never get to know about these people, and some will be left forgotten. It saddens me even more that it was not to long ago someone could’ve helped them, and yet nobody did. So much lost in such little time. And the after effects just hurts my heart. I wish there was something I could do now.

I love my American native family! Sincerely an Irishman, we will never forget the help you gave us,and will always return it..

The world almost lost all of this beautiful culture, please treasure what remains

One of the biggest tragedies in world history.

My biggest respect and admiration to the Native Americans. The Irish do not forget our brothers and sisters from the Choctaw tribe who donated to the famine aid while most of the world turned their backs. I would one day like to pay my respects too. Peace and love ✌🏼💕

I can't stop my tears...😢

I'm mexican and seeing this video makes me proud of my indigenous side. Although they were not specifically from that tribe, the Aztec too wore big feather hats and looked similar to them.

My Grandma use to tell me about our people back in the old days when she was a child. How she was mistreated when she went to white mans school. We are Onondaga from the Iroquois Nation.

As old as the footage is, it’s even cooler to think how you’re not just getting a glimpse into 100-150 years ago but actually thousands when you consider how much of so many different tribes/people’s culture & traditions remained unchanged passed down generation after generation for the longest time.

The music and the love runs thru my veins❤️ Oglala Sioux tribe 💪🏻 it gives me goosebumps just thinking about my ancestors. It’s such a beautiful feeling knowing I’m apart of something so beautiful 🫶🏼

I love these people. As I'm indigenous Australian. We fought hard for our land.

Native American music speaks to the soul

I am so proud to be Native American.

The best people and their culture in world.❤

I hope one day people return to that way of life 🙏

Absolutely beautiful! Much respect and love from indigenous Australia 🇦🇺❤

I completed a Native American Literature course recently, and have grown obsessed with learning as much of the Native Culture that I can. I have always read of the physical traditions, but never spent a lot of time attempting to understand the oral tradition. Such beautiful culture and language. And the connection to the land is unparalleled in beauty.

I live in west Nebraska . I love to travel to Wy, SD to see a feel the past . It excites me that we had this great history in the area. It also saddens me very much . I give the Native Americans the highest respect.

It really penetrates through my heart. This is wonderful.

Im not a Native American but I have always looked up to the Spiritual nature of these beautiful people. I appreciate the respect they have for the Earth and Gods creations. They will always hold a special place in my Heart and mind. When I think hero I think Native Americans. I found this video after searching to learn more about this culture.

Like to come back to this once in awhile, proud to be full blooded Lakota Sioux.

We’re still here people and we will be here for a long time

Those great elders hold the future in their eyes 🙏 deep respect

Native American and proud ✊🏽

I’m not native american but I wanted to be more educated about their culture. everything is extremely beautiful- the head wear, the music, the clothes just wow. it breaks my heart that this was all taken from them

Thank you for displaying these images. It is certainly a historic treat.

I'm from Iraq. It really tore my heart and reminds me of Palestine. I watched an Arabic video talking about the topic. He was really candid. It made me feel oppressed, as if they were talking about Palestine and the Zionist occupation of it. But when I watched this video and the Latin Americans were treating them nicely, I changed my face a little bit because Latin Americans are nice and humane and not criminals like the Israeli people in the Arab video, where the Native Americans say that the US government allocates shelters for Native Americans, and only keeps them Animal shelters around the world. The United States is a country of human rights Indigenous shelters

I am proud to be Native Americans.

I am from Ethiopian descent but man oh man the native Americans are one of the most prescious civilizations to have lived. I adore and admire. respect and will always show homeage to you and ur beautiful culture. my heart hurts for the destruction that was put on ur peoples livelihood...but thank God your children are still here walking and breathing

I’m so grateful and fortunate to have Native American blood inside me. Well, I’m half-Omaha Native from my mother’s side. She’s a full-blooded Omaha Native woman who married my father, who is Louisiana Creole descent (being mixed with Creole French, Jew Ashkenazi, Irish, and African-American) which makes me a Redbone individual. I’m already proud of my mixed heritage but I also support my Native American heritage, too, because being born in America, I always support my love for the *TRUE* Founding Fathers.

I'm Part Pawnee Nation but Born in UK.😀. Proud to Be Native American!

“When the Indian begins to wrinkle, the white man has been dead for awhile. “ This is what my Navajo grandma use to say.

Wow, seeing these indigenous people makes my soul calm and my heart open.

They will always be remembered in USA History❤️

The True American heroes. I have so much affinity for Native Americans.. I've been to many States in America, especially the West, they had a perfect way of life. I listen to Chief Joseph,s speech to Congress regularly..makes me weep for these proples.

2:22 not even Hollywood could remake those moves. The sheer fluidity of their dance is amazing. That film is something that can never be recreated

I’m native and it’s really nice to see my ansesters

Deepest respect for you native Americans ! From France 🇫🇷

There’s no one like the Native Americans. So much honor, love, pride, compassion, earth, unity. 💛 man. I admire them so much, ever since I was little.

I feel bad for what they've been through. It truly was their land.

This is crazy to watch even 120+ Years later, I can’t believe how cool it looks

Amazing footage from these amazing people.

I have always had a deep respect and interest in the original true American peoples and tribes. It is sad that they are forced to live in reservations and have had their way of life changed or destroyed. These audio s recordings and footage are amazing.

Respect to the native Americans ❤

i’m not native american but i find the culture and history so interesting. i’m ashamed that the land was stolen and that they have been mistreated for so long. i respect all of you

The world can never forget these great native indigenous species

If I would have been able to choose "when" and "where" I wanted to be born, it without any doubt would have been the "Native American tribes" era. I really admire their outmost respect for "Humans, Animals and Nature" !

I have such an appreciation for indigenous culture

Such a beautiful culture so hideously destroyed.

These images are priceless!!

One of the things I cherish the most in my life is when I learned of my Native roots. We recently discovered what tribe and were able to learn more about my ancestors and, regardless of if I am ever truly considered Native or not, I will hold that information close to my heart.

How beautiful- how sad. I feel for all and see the loss. Beautiful people in a once beautiful world that was honored and nurtured by them.

Respect their culture and the fact they have been around for a long time

Thank You for giving me the opportunity to watch my friends in real time bless their souls for all their hurt they endured

Wishing all the best for all Ingidinous people out there! ❤

I'm a Mexican American but man, what I wouldn't give to spend a day with these guys

Nothing is worse than eyes full of sadness.

When I see people on TV or in clubs dancing, they're just following the beat. Native Americans and other indigenous tribes around the world create the beat.

I appreciate this culture so much, I love it. This video makes me tear up every time i see it because they went through so much.. respect to the native Americans

They looked so powerfull look at the feathers just like a lion mane

Respect to native Americans from Bharat ❤❤🙏

I wish life could go back to this

Such a beautiful people-so proud and strong the first Americans 🙏🏻

This makes me cry just to see my ancestors😍😭the music is absolutely beautiful

0:50 okay this clip was for real cool. It's not very often that we get to see anybody from any time before the 20th century smiling, let alone laughing. Wonderfully inspiring and uplifting.

I’m a quarter native and there’s nothing about it that find beautiful or that I’m proud of. I know that I’m likely in the minority as most members of my family seem to love everything about it but I don’t see any real redeeming qualities about it. The culture has essentially come and gone but we’re trying so hard to hold onto it.

I myself am not Native American but I work in a daycare with several young Natives and they are just the most GORGEOUS babies.... ALL of my babies at my daycare are gorgeous though. I'm VERY lucky to get to be around such wonderful little bundles of love. I try to make it a point to learn about their individual tribes so that I can incorporate it into their day to day "curriculum" in any way I can. Same for babies of any background. Best way of doing this I found was through music. Every culture has music it's the great connector.

Right in the feels, right to the soul, we are still here! Yas!

This is amazing! I have love and respect for the Natives and been reading so many books about their history and way of life.

en tant que français, je ne sais pas pourquoi mais depuis que je suis petit j’ai toujours été tellement fasciné par les amérindiens avec leur culture, leur coutume et tant d’autres choses… Mon immense respect et mon soutien le plus total aux descendants de ces personnes extraordinaires qu’étaient les amérindiens, et j’espère que votre situation aux États-Unis s’améliorera et sera meilleure ❤❤❤

Beautiful. This touched me.. Thank you so much.

native American culture is so interesting & fascinating!

ಮೂಲ ಅಮೇರಿಕ ಜನಾಂಗವನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸಿ *"Save native American people"*

This was excellent. .those photos of the men at the end are very moving...their proud faces yet their eyes hold so much pain and heartache...these people never deserved how they were treated..may Jehovah bless them and comfort them all

From 🇵🇸 we love Lakota people ❤️❤️

This is really beautiful. Native American culture fascinate me. I've always wondered how they lived in the 1800s, what their day-to-day activities were, what their traditions are, their traditions, their homes and lifestyles are like. They just fascinate me.

So many haters...stop your pre-conceived biasies and admire it and appreciate it for what it is. A window to long lost moments that will never be again. Treat the moments that have vanished with respect.

What a truly beautiful race. They kept this land pristine for a long time. I appreciate you for that. Your culture is something to emulate. Michael

Music is beautiful.
