I'm watching this for my native studies 10 and I am genuinely loving learning every aspect of Canada's past and the side of my family that's not really talked about, thank you for posting this🥰
The men are handsome, the women are beautiful. I'm thankful for the internet giving them a voice. I'm loving discovering cultures I am not very familiar with

Being myself front he same situation of being taken from my Aboriginal mother and family from one of the poorest community(Victoria park, calgary, Aberta) in the early 70's. My mother with her heart was going to find me. She found me in Montana, USA in the process of being adopted by non aboriginal people. Ki-nanaskomtin ( I Thank You )

- The video is about the need for reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada. - The First Nations prophecy called the "Eight Fire" urges people to build a new relationship. - Aboriginal people are Canada's fastest growing population and over half of them live in cities. - The stereotype of Indigenous people includes negative assumptions about education, alcoholism, and laziness. - Many Canadians have little or no contact with Indigenous people and when they do, it's often negative. - Indigenous people are not all poor and living on reserves: many are joining the middle class and are under 25. - The video features the story of three young Indigenous men who are rappers and have gained attention in Winnipeg. - The aim is to challenge stereotypes and encourage people to get to know their Indigenous neighbors.

The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off. - Gloria Steinem Throughout history, like all life on earth, humans have competed for survival. Humans also like to learn and gain knowledge about nature, the world and generally try to understand how all things work. There has also been a tendency for humans to conquer and compete in trying to dominate and control other humans and get other humans to be servants and slaves. Humans also used their skills to create caste and class systems. For most humans, life has always been a struggle and a competition for survival. I remain optimistic that as we gain more knowledge and understanding that humanity can figure out ways that will cause less human suffering in the world and less suffering for all conscious life on this planet and that we can find peaceful, sustainable and respectful ways to live and share the planet’s resources that does not cause harm to human life or the environment.
@@lloydnelson778 I got notification about your comment but it is not showing up in the replies. People who blame others for their problems never accomplish much in their life. Edit: For the record your reply was " Everytime something goes wrong blame the Indian." and is what what my reply is addressing.
The video highlights the need for reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians, breaking down stereotypes, and understanding the impact of residential schooling and the 60s scoop on Indigenous culture and identity.

We used to call gay people "double spirited" they were blessings from mother earth to help us understand relationship complications because they could see from both sides.
Yeah it’s say Winnipeg most isn’t just natives listening to there music it’s all kinds of races but that was there goal there not trying to put it out there that there native rappers there just rappers they didn’t one aboriginal awards shows now there stuck I say stuck because there weren’t trying to be known as native rappers
@Emanuel Yasheav, Then it seems that you are likely *not* a person of Indigenous North American ancestry and/or African ancestry who has *suffered a diverse* and *great deal of racism.* And, it's not only Canadians or North Americans *of European ancestry* viewing this doco.
My Grandma went to residential school. By the catholics and thier missions. They beat the kids horribly. So my Grandma hit her kids my father included. So he in turn beat us his kids. I broke that cycle. And I'm not a catholic
First nations people are like us chicanos of Western states of Calif , Wash, Ore, Az, NM, Tex, Chicago ill mi Florida same racist stereotypes.we all are not gangbangers we our first nations of all colors God bless all my brothers and sisters
"since your people first met my people" this makes it a us vs them, which is disappointing It should have been "since the Europeans first met my people (or the Indigenous people of America)"
Are you not a you? Are you not a person? We are all different culturally therefore it doesn't always mean it's us vs them, sometimes it just means your ways are different than mine, let's work shit out.
So why the brackets around indigenous and Europeans is capitalized. Yes, for sure we all come from different cultures. So we can't speak as we are of one when I'm First Nstion. Understanding is more than required.
Jaimeleigh Munroe the people who historically dislike the “your people my people thing” come from a legacy of privilege not oppression. Part of realizing that we are just people is admitting that we made mistakes from our past and although we can’t change them, we can acknowledge them and do better.
@Jaimeleigh Munroe, That *will occur when* race theory, race supremacy theory, and racism have been actively *reeducated away* and *necessary apologies along with reparations* have been made to long-term oppression targets/victims/survivors/familial ancestors who have been held back economically as opposed to the original oppressors' living familial ancestors.
Natives struggled with losing their hunting & gathering lifestyle; however, most Europeans used to be farmers. They've lost their lifestyle as well & most lost their language. Next we'll colonize space.
I believe WE SHOULD ALL GET ALONG BUT NO WE CANT JUST GET OVER THE FACT OUR PARENTS. AND GRANDPARENTS HAD THEIR RELIGION BEATEN OUT OF THEM IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU YOU WOULD NOT BE OVER OR GET OVER IT BUT I AM NOT A STATISTIC BUT IM SICK OF THE RACISM ITS REAL ITS HERE LIVING RIGHT ALONG BESIDE US
Different rez's have different people ig, the reservations by me are very welcoming and I've made friends with quite a few of the people there when I've driven past and stopped in to a corner store or smth
@@onslaughter3066 I was somewhat kidding. I grew up on a rez and didn't really find what you said to be true but there was a lack of politeness and manners in general. That was a long time ago. I find it's changing nowadays tho.
This is jus natives projecting their insecurities. U have nothing holding u back, quit constantly acting like the worlds against u and raising ur children to be victims
My grandmother was half native and raised by the system even residential school and when I look at old photos natives were a proud nation and people. I understand horrible bad things happened but how long does society now have to pay for it. I think part of the racism is not racism but hate for the fact natives don't pay taxes use the welfare system hospitals and every other system that we the general public are taxed to death in order to pay for things we had nothing to do with the assholes who did this so terrible wrong are long dead from old photos i think your ancestors would have been to proud to except handouts. If youse had to contribute equal like the rest of our society i think you would change alot of people's thoughts and minds. This is just my opinion
okay so the painters gay n mixes it with the culture smh seriously wtf...lost interest when he said that! i follow my culture so that guys riding solo on that shit lol
I met the "Most" a few time and smoked a few with them, shout out to Brooklyn and J-C. I was shocked how many fans online they had. In mere hours or spitting out a track and releasing it how many people watched the video was unreal. Was like 20,000 in a day without letting others know.
No offense Wab, but the Jews people are the fastest growing community in Canada, as they have even more kids then any other group, plus immigation to boost those numbers too. Home work Wab!
