This is the best ever!! I took my kids to Cherokee this weekend and my camera didn't work. My fiance is disabled and could not go. I promised to take pictures of everything I could for him. Needless to say you did it for me! Thank you so much for posting your video! he was able to see most of what we saw during our visit. I was so upset about him missing this. GOD BLESS YOU FOR POSTING THIS.
If y’all get it from your moms side then non of y’all are Native American period. You’re a white woman. Get over it y’all wanna be us so bad but then hate us.
@@93chrish but what if some of ur great grandparents and great great grandparents had at least 3/4 would that still be from native american heritage or no cause iv been doing research and some of my grandfathers were at least 3/4 or half
I'm part Cherokee and I like learning about this stuff but I think it would be cooler to have someone (native) to walk with me through the village and tell me about everything
All of my life I have wanted to visit and authentic Indian American village im 53yrs and every since I found out I was Cherokee Mohawk and Blackfoot and possibly some others I have always wanted to visit an Indian village
Siyo, my spirited sister, sometimes these bad things are said of our tasliga, but this pale face S.d. does not know of our ways we all try to live in peace unity harmony, , with Uhaloteka with us always ,gv-ge-yu-hi, my spirited sister,
siyo, spirited sister we know our tsalagi, ways and of our elders and ansesters, they would not like some of the things that some does not know of, Uhaloteka great spirit would not like either,
My grandmother...was Polish, but I have been to Cherokee and the areas around it. I've been meaning to go back for years, but I've never had the chance.
One can actually hear the language accent in his voice ( cherokee) inspite of the fact he is speaking english, if you listen keenly you will hear his vocal tone. Remarkably so.
I didn't know Indians were in North Carolina. I thought they lived in Florida, Arizona, Mid West. My great grandmother was half Indian (Wetumpka, Alabama). Beautiful people. Thanks for the video.
every native American nation lived different built different homes and worshipped different gods, the Cherokees where different to the blackfoot as the germans to the Russians, the Aztecs inhabit central mexico and since they are part of north America they are native americans well the ones who have Aztec blood, fyi I have Aztec blood 1 million survived the Spanish invasion that became mestizo that's part Spanish part Aztec
En el antiguo territorio del actual México había muchas tribus, no eran solo mexicas o aztecas, habían otros pueblos que odiaban a los Aztecas porque los sacrificaban a miles, a los dioses. Esas tribus se unieron a los españoles para eliminarlos . Monctezuma fue herido por su compañero azteca, muriendo de las heridas. Monctezuma se hizo amigo de Hernán Cortés , el español conquistador, y le entrego a su hija para que la cuidara. Antes de morir. Gracias a los indios , a las tribus enemigas de lo mexicas se derrotó aquel Imperio del Terror. Y se quedó España .
I was there with my late partner who was born on the Cherokee resv he had not been back for 10 years so glad we went back to Cherokee before he passed on. We both enjoyed seeing the Oconaluftee Indian Village. Runningwater
I've only seen two old grainy photo's,(1830's), of the 5 Tribes. One was a Creek wearing a bandana sitting with a wing fan. The other was a Choctaw with short ,(round cut), hair almost like a Yanomamo, in front of his house.(A tall dome shaped structure with what seemed to be overlapping palm leaves?) I think the photos were taken before 1839.
For anyone who is apart of the Eastern Band. If you know of a lady named Helen Buckley who is a small merchant and shop owner in Cherokee, NC let her know her estranged nephew Eugene Francis Buckley is a sex offender who is unregistered. I tried reaching out to her to warn her on Facebook but she doesn't seem to use her page anymore. I believe she told me she was a registered member of the Eastern Band before I lost contact with her. I don't think she knows about his long criminal history. He hid it from a lot of people. I only found out because I looked his name up on a local arrests site. I'm not sure if he's a registered member of the tribe or not because I think the tribe does background checks and wouldn't accept criminals, especially the sex offender variety. He was arrested for holding a teenage girl in his home, statutory rape and serious assault on a female along with 18 other crimes of larceny and drug offenses in NC and SC.
If she was a Cherokee from nc on the qialkah boundary some of her family should be on the bakers roll. Also many times people of nat9ve blood were classified as Negro on censuses taken outside of the reservation when the person was married to a black person. There was a family in the 1920s andv30s who were black who lived on the reservation and some married Cherokee , but the government made them move from the reservation lands.
My other great grandmother on my maternal side was also 1/4 Cherokee Native American. I searched her name on the final Dawes act and I saw it. How do I join the Eastern Band of Cherokee Native American
@@itsjamesclarence I know this is a old comment but they are so stupid and rude, calling people colonizers because a lot of white people with no real ancestry always claims to be half or part native, which caused people to gatekeep the people who actually want to learn about their ancestry and calling a black person a colonizer SHM 🤦 makes me scared to even try to reconnect with the culture like my great grandfather and great grandmother was, it’s very sad and it’s very normal to reconnect with parts of culture that was somehow lost through family and people need to realize that it’s not always bad intentions or to gain something
@Rusell Shaw The killing was done generations ago. Can't punish someone due to association by blood. Not everyone can be treated nor seen as the same either.
Aztec natives of Mexico were and lived completely different than N.American indians.Aztecs built pryamids and worshipped different gods and started wars to capture people to sacrifice to their gods very different.Is there any Aztec descendents even around since the downfall of them in the 1500's by spaniards?Thats why Mexicans are not in the same catagory and the Aztecs lived only in a lower region of Mexico not all of Mexico.Does anyone else have any info on this?
My Grandmother was half Tsalagi & half Comanchi, my mother was 1/4 tsalagi & Irish. I live off the land & tan hides Native American ways. I am called, yani Onega.
can I visit the reservation and talk with the elders. I am 63 and I have always wanted to visit. I live in Charlotte NC. will I be laughed at. I have cancer and I would truly love to do ths. does anyone know who I can contact? .my grandmother was black feet
I am Montagnard indigenous I love Native culture love to learn more Cherokee history. Montagnard indigenous we have a rich culture but today Vietnamese came they are disappear some community still have it’s not a real they are created , controlled by Vietnamese government.
Nancy, Thanks for commenting! Wow, you are one busy lady! What kind of camera do you use in your road shots? When I started I was using my iPhone, lots of fun.
My great father was half by his mother but my great grandmother was 3/4 by her side and my great great grandmother was from the bloodline of cheif or so I'm told idk if it's TRUE but I hope it is cause I take pride in being born into there family
My grandmother was a cherokee princess and my grandfather was a cherokee king ROFL... just kidding of course, sadly we hear that ALL the time. My family was and is still there with my mother's mother and grandmother was the first and only ones that I am aware of that moved off the area like idiots. I so love it there when I can get back to visit family and family friends. All my current family would love to move back to family lands one day.
ps: The only other old 1830's pics I've seen were of a famous Pawnee?/Osage? leader from Nebraska with like 50 earrings on each ear and a turban/headband, and a Sauk and Fox dude from Indiana with horizontal whites stripes on his face.
Hope that I don't sound like one of those nutjob conspiracy theorists or anything, but these are the guys that I want to be around when and if the sh*t ever hits the fan. These people know how to survive!
+Timothy Allison I am a direct ancestor of John Brown. Google that. Oh and I do bleach my hair so what but to tell someone that is not what should be done. I wonder how much blood you have in you since no one would say that if that were true and your last name is Jewish so there ya go. Tim.
+Donna Ford If you mean John Brown the abolitionist, I'm not questioning that at all. The reason I criticized Kelly Jones is because I hear this silly rhetoric from people like her who love to claim the Native American ancestry (because of the exotic mysticism that native American culture holds) but have such a thin strain of it that you really can't count them as Native American. Read what she said. Her Grandfathers Great-Grandfather: 6 generations back!!! Ar you kidding me? You have so little NA blood you really can't claim that you're part Cherokee. And for the record Donna, I have Great-Grandparents on both sides who were part Native American(Or so I've been told....). This does not mean that I can claim to be part of the great Cherokee people. I'm not a full-blooded, half, quarter, or a dime. I'm actually African-American with a Scottish\English surname. I have some White ancestry as well on both sides. Not really enough to claim that I am part White and try to identify with White people. I don't like people who try to play Indian is all.......
***** Kinda know what you mean if you are talking about like the Lone Ranger Movie and all that adoption so it would be okay. But unless they can get a card here then which the actor couldn't since it was not found in the records. It made some upset.
I'd be asking questions about the wood booger. They know more than anyone about it. I once heard a First Nations Ookiui gentleman say that there a 4 different tribes of the bigfoot. Iij wont go into it all. But they definitely know what's up.Like the fact that everyone thinks they woodknock with wood on wood. But actually they use a rock on a tree. Carey's further. So they know when it's an idiot human. I found that amusing.lol

Due you see the similarities in the indigenous South Americans and the North Americans? That's because the true native Americans are from places like Mexico El Salvador and many other Latin American countries it's sad to see native Americans trying to jump over a boarder that was once there land where there ancestors grown up in don't let the British European colonialism that created boarders and segregated landers let you forget who the true Americans are: and Mexicans are a part of those people also native Americans
My great grand mother was full blood Cherokee in Kentucky on mom's mother side and her dad's uncle was the great General Robert e lee and my dad's side related to the famous McCoy family and his mom was a cousin of William h Bonnie I know it far off what's all the odds but it's all true my dad buried around Randall McCoy, and my DNA proves I have 60% Cherokee I live I ky wanting to move to Cherokee north Carolina around chimmy stacks that's high in up on mountain's
dude the Cherokee would get the guns the adopted traders gave them and shoot the captured POW's extremities so it would not kill them and then cauterize the wound so that they could shoot them again and repeat. do that to yourself and feel the pain boy.
Maybe, but at least it is an accurate portrayal and not some guy in a stereotypical headdress. Cherokee is a tourist destination and the tribe is profiting off of this while also educating visitors.
Went there a couple days ago, let me warn you, the admission to enter this place is pretty expensive, like 19$ per adult, and it only lasts an hour and a half of demonstrations, plus a small play of how the natives used to fight the Europeans. It was pretty boring and not worth the money in my opinion.
THESE WHITE ASS PEOPLE WANT TO BE INDIGENOUS SOO BAD , these people get sunburn with ease , they ARE NOT THE TRUE INDIGENOUS AMERICAN , they are Siberian and European IMPOSTERS
