Regardless of any justification, the bottom line is that Native Americans started European settlers on their tobacco usage. And consequently, hundreds of years of tobacco-caused cancer and other diseases. And the Natives always blame the white man for diseases.
My great grandmother was documented as 1/2 Cherokee. I have been proud of my heritage but didn’t know about making pottery. Thank for being my inspiration
I want to know all of the plants that have been smoked ceremonial. I just found a plant (common weed) Clasping Venus Looking Glass and Google says it had been smoked ceremonially. ❤
I know where a old large sacred Cherokee pipe is kept. It was in the back room of a museum. I contacted all tribe and Cherokee museum elders but no one wrote back. That was in 2015. It was in the possession of the Indian Agent or that time. It could be repatriated. But to who?
My grandmother is Council member of our local Cherokee committee but it’s slowly dying. I’m 21 and living in California it’s is my dream and destiny to become closer to my ancestors as well as my cousins and I pray that I find my path towards this fulfilling journey
I do grow my own 'nicotinia rustica' seeds. The proces of creation is like a prayer to me. And give away seeds to friends to spread sacred awareness :)
Brilliant video and i loved the story of how the sun came. I have dug my own clay and will make a cooking pot with the animals that travelled to get the sun on the outside.
because I am part native with common sense and understand that we live in a modern society governed by money and commercialism it is necessary to accept these unfortunate modern realities nevertheless they are a sacred bar for tobacco however it is produced remain sacred
This is really cool. I wish the Cherokee language was passed down through my family. Unfortunately the Cherokee blood is quite diluted now. It was my 3X great grandmother that was full blooded. I did go to Cherokee, NC for a few hours while on vacation in Gatlinburg though. I thought it was wonderful. Would love to learn the language and lullabies.
Commercial tobacco is NOT tobacco any more; it is ground up plastic, wood, designer Xanax & other mood altering chemicals - very little tar & nicotine, if any - pure GMO garbage - the designer drugs are the addictive substances...fyi
Anna revived *Oklahoma* Cherokee Pottery. Anna Belle Sixkiller Mitchell was an incredible woman and I'm greatly looking forward to her art exhibit this fall at the Cherokee Heritage Center. Still, we should not forget all the Eastern Band Cherokee potters active in North Carolina during the 19th and 20th centuries, including Iwi Katalsta, Maude Welch, and the Maney and Bigmeat families.
Y chromosome studies & the 9 allelle repeat dna studies prove that the American Indians did not cross the bering land bridge and that we didn't come from africa. We were created here & have always been here! we are are not muslim, we are not mormon, we are not jewish, fairy tales vs. science. we have known all along we came from here.
Thank you to the producer of this video. I have both undocumented Choctaw & Cherokee ancestry & have started taking pottery classes in Ca. My goal is to duplicate Cherokee style pottery & this video was helpful. My mother was born in Braggs, Ok in 1911 & my grandfather worked for a Mr. Mitchell around 1916, so I wonder if any of their family & my family ever crossed paths.
Little Bear, Little Bear, Good ___, ___ ___, Little Bear. Hey Steve... I recognize this house... It is the prairie house at Adams Corners and guess what? The gingerbread was missing when my ex, Ron Thompson and crew, moved it to the Village. I designed the gingerbread!!! Yep. Small world.
That's awesome. You are an incredibly talented person, as well as smart and friendly and cheerful and brave and clean and reverent (those were suggested Boy Scout attributes in my day). Jared Diamond was great. We missed you.
Saurkraut is a pickle eaten all over the old world, but it's not a Cherokee food. Show us how to make traditional stuff like Kanuchi, fried wasp larva, ramsons eggs, grilled fish, black drink, gunvhi kayvsequa, bean bread, gotegewi, fried milky corn, how to dry meats and wild foods...
I have been at odds with the anti smokers for a long time. It seems no one knows the truth about tobacco. I am 1/8 Cherokee and I had my first cigarette at age 9. I'm in my 67th year now, and have found pure organic tobacco, the Natural American Spirit marque to be the best. I commune with God all of the time, and God governs my use now. God says stop and I stop. God says smoke and I smoke. All voluntarily. Is it a habit or an addiction? It is difficult to say, however I would say that I love being addicted to God and that I will not change. I should make a video to tell my story. Maybe I will someday. Anyway, I'm so very happy to learn this. I encourage you to continue to make and share all of these videos. I'm subscribing now. Thank you so much for making this information available to me.
@@natiivejay07 Yeah they were lmao. They are the ones that taught and forced Christianity down indigenous throats. And I don't know if you've noticed but "people of god" is determined by people. Anyone who wants to say they are a person of god isn't wrong just because you don't like what they're doing. If God existed he'd stop those dumbasses before they could slaughter millions of people in his name.
@@alexandrahenderson4368 I believe the native americans to be one of the 12 tribes of Israel, an there's even prophecy about that happening of what you are talking about them coming over here, look into it, natives have a lot of similarities to ancient Israelite religion, they don't eat swine an have a 7th day of rest so that's pretty obvious already on just that, it gets pretty deep when you research this stuff, tribe of gad of the 12 tribes of israel
