CAN WE PLEASE HEAR MORE FROM THIS FUTURE NATIONAL TREASURE? can we please respect and support this brilliant young man while he's in his prime fighting for us? 3 years later here i am rewatching. Lets get some more content from this precious dedicated soul!!! Please !!! Wado!!!
We've included a portion of the interview we did with him on the third episode of the podcast Inchunwa. We'll be including more of the interview we did with him in future episodes. Inchunwa is a podcast that explores the southeastern traditional tattoo movement. If you wanna check it out, we are on apple podcasts, Spotify, google podcasts, stitcher, and most podcast platforms.

One meaning for Gauges means healer. The bigger they are the more you can heal. I was told usually the medicine man wears them.. Usually starting at 12 13. I don't remember where i was told that but I currently still live in old cherokee country today even though I'm technically unaffiliated. My ancestors were dark black cherokee. Even though they felt they HAD to leave the tribe during the genocide here in the east, they still told some things to their kids. Chin tats on a woman mean strength and wisdom, and I still kinna want one, I notice popular amongst other tribes as well. I LOVE THIS VIDEO what about piercings though?! I don't know anything about piercings in the cherokee tribe.
Iv been finding out more of my Cherokee ancestors and educating myself so i can educate my children. I enjoy the speeches and information keep them coming. You explain everything very well.
It is great to see a tribesman further address the whole indigenous western world Indians culture without having to attribute any origins of oriental China because tattoos where invented by Indians as far as Sarawak Iban and Kelabit ethnic tribes and many many more obviously looking at Native American tattooing as well as South Americas Arawak tribes and category named Polynesians tribes Maori who also used tattoos long before the Europeans. good to see a consistent points, I really enjoyed his talk and his Cherokee presentation of hypothesis, great lecture.
"There were Cherokee women who went to war. So there were women who could document these things on their faces. But most of the time these things were showing their status within their community. Maybe, oftentimes, showing how many children they had. Or, you know, how many husbands they may have had. Cherokee women, they could have as many as they wanted. At least a long time ago. Well, maybe still yet today... some of y'all laughed."
i tattoo my body out of respect for the ancestors and to show my identity without my ancestors being good warriors i would not be here i disagree that we need to kill to tattoo are faces now days but rather do it to show are connection to the past almost like the maori agree or disagree
You can disagree but that's a tradition . . . I'm lucky cuz my mom and dad come from different tribes. My dad's tribe gives us war tattoos and for women birthing tattoos. Both on the face. Since I'm in the military I've earned one line and I've had one kid so I've earned another. We also have eye tattoos for beautification. 😌
I would like to see some native tattoos and there meanings so I can get one to reconnect to my cherokee ancestors if anyone has any reccomendations please send me some thank you wado!
My paternal grandmother was Cheeokee but passed away when my father was a young boy, my grandfather (who was not native) remarried and that woman was the grandmother I knew growing up. I did not know about my blood grandmother until I was an adult. Which makes me sad. I am having to dig to find out about her. I have seen one picture and that is it...😔
As long as the people aren't alive death certificates are good sources should be free but they normally have parents names where they were born research is tough but possible so get her name and look back to the 1900 and find them on the Dawes rolls and then enroll
My grandmother on my mother's side lived in OK. but left because my mother said life was hard for her. She didn't pass on her knowledge and about our ancestors to her, so ibdont even know which clan im from but i do have her role number. Myself and a friend started to put things back together and to see the names and where they came from and what they did i treasure. I really wish I could find out what clan though because that is important to me. My brothers are proud of what we've found. I have soooo much more to reclaim. During my naming ceremony at the closing prayer a red tail hawk flew across the sacred circle.
I want to leanr more about Cherokee tattooing, specifically females. Any word on where to find more about it? The internet isnt doing a good job at giving me accurate info.
@@shonpieters9609 Nah, not really. The Cherokee tribe has unique symbols plus whenever I try to google any Native tattoos it always comes up with white people getting dreamcatcher tattoos
I never knew how much ꮳꮃꭹ and Hokna culture was similar in tattoos. Low-key kinda freaked out 😂😅 Hokna is my dad's tribe from Mexico but if it makes sense, my mom and I are Cherokee but as far as I know my paternal grandma isn't and she's the one who taught me Hokna tattoos.
Question, my grandfather's mother was 100% Cherokee (didn't even speak English) what does that mean for me? Being that I'm white, I would like to learn more and embrace my heritage but im afraid of just coming off as ignorant. Any help?
When I found my dad and 2 sisters I found out my grandfather's mom was full blooded Cherokee too. I was amazed! I'm trying to find everything I can about Cherokees.
Upon further investigation I've discovered my Grandfather's mother was 100% Sioux and my Grandmother's mother was 100% Cherokee. I don't want anything from the tribes or to label myself it's more of me being interested in my heritage and where im from or who my "people" would be. Maybe learn how my family/ancestral genes play a role in my natural tendencies I guess is how to say it? Just wanting to better understand myself in a way.
Is there such a thing as Cherokee sign language? What signed languages did our ancestors utilize? Is there a program where we can learn them? What way did they communicate with the blind and/or deaf members historically?
Can we address how the DO is written upside down. I thought it was a poorly written GO but i guess somebody just messed up really bad... over and over again... how do you mess up the syllabary character orientation. 🤦🏿♂️
I'm an artist and would love to learn more about Cherokee art I am trying to get an apprenticeship in tattooing also and I am 1/4 blood my mom was half and her father my awesome grandpa was full blood Cherokee and trying to pass on what I can to my kids and art is what I love and what I can teach my kids the best I have an old dictionary Cherokee to English it's oldish from the 70s my aunt gave it to me her uncle give it to her but I'm trying to learn how to speak it also so where can I get some help learning how to turn individual words into sentences so I can teach my kids so my family can continue to have that wonderful knowledge and where can I learn more about Cherokee art as well please and wado
Lol every culture had the practice of tattooing one way or another. Long before modern times. It’s as ancient as the humans them selves...ancient Egyptians had them. Vikings...you name it.
Why the lol tho? Indigenous people were in the Americas first. Before the vikings came to the America, before the ancient egypt we even know of existed. This is more ancient than we know. Try and google Cherokee tattoos and tell me what comes up, this is a lost and timeless art that our youth needs to know about, to encourage more people to find what we've forgotten.
Please how do u write my name Darla in Cherokee. My grand MA on my dad's side was Cherokee would love to find out more about her but don't know where to look
Look in cherokee rolls. Look through ancestry and family search. Also contact the cherokee nation for geneology help. But please do not claim something until you have definite proof of it.
Cherokee are the true Aryan peoples of India/Persia, tribe of Napthali brought to the US initially as slaves by Cleopatras twin children when they escaped the burning of the great library and all of Egypt by the Romans. 🎺🐦
