I am a Mexican Indian but I love all my native American brothers and sisters. And I love seeing two indigenous people in love ❤

Beautiful. Let's never forget that this land called New York City (and all of New Jersey and Philadelphia) is and always will be Lenapehoking.

Dope my family is from God's Lake First Nation's Respect 🙏 🇨🇦

This is cool.

Im full blood native, i want to move to a big city so bad and spread awareness and network like this! I moved off the res in az in 8th grade. I was also the only native in my 8th grade class and thats when i first realized non natives knew natives existed. My history teacher talked about navajos in the war and said the language was gibberish.(im 3/4 navajo, grew up with the navajo language and 1/4 hopi, thus my last name). I was so shy, i didnt talk. (Culture shock for me) then i moved to SoCal, i LOVED it. Made lots of friends with polys. They should me their culture and food. I love them. I had a HARD rez accent lol Broken english af, people asked if i was japanese or british😂 If i ever move to ny, I'd love to spread awareness, network and perform. Also been dancing since i learned how to walk✊🏽

Why don't we have a Native American Parade in NYC!!!?

Make America native again

“I feel like he’s singing for me so I dance for him” I don’t know why but I found that deeply beautiful. Thanks and blessings from the wolf clan of the Lenape nation for sharing such a precious video

I am Quechua native and I have hope to see young people living their traditions!!!

I'd love to see indigenous people of America regain ownership of their land someday...sighs. I'd also love to see an indigenous president of America someday.

I was born in NYC. But I am from the Pipil Tribe in the land formerly known as Cuscatlan (modern day El Salvador).

He isn't dating, he's in a love. Find a man like that!

When I was in jr high we "learned" about the iroquois, but we never learned about the Iroquois Confederation. Or that it was one of the influences the founding fathers looked to when designing what America would be. That I had to learn as an adult on my own.

It's always good to see the real American people and the native clothing and using their real names not Roman names be proud of who you are you are the real native people

She's so gorgeous i'm jealous😂

Oh my word everything about their ceremony is gorgeous! This event and their obvious love for their culture and each other is really heartwarming. When she said she is from Peshawbestown MI I nearly fell of my chair! I grew up next to that reservation from 1970 to 1984 and went to school with natives, always destested how they were treated by some. Even though I appreciated living in a beautiful yet, at times, harsh area I never forgot that the land my great grandfather who was born in 1898 busted his tail for was stolen land essentially.

Respect to all native Indians .....I’m still learning about my lineage “TheTaino tribe”

Love from India you have good culture ,all over the world trible culture is similar ,I also belong to bheel tribe in India I proud to be an indegenios

The first Americans

My mother’s side is from this tribe. I would love to attend this when things are up and running again!

native American not Indian!!!

This is a subject that has interested me for a long time. I want to ask a serious question and see what everyone thinks. Obviously in America's history European settlers committed horrible atrocities against the indigenous people. I've often heard people say that Indigenous people should have the land they were living on back because European settlers essentially booted them out so the they could implement private ownership of their lands. My question is this: how would we go about restoring their lands today? Essentially it would mean admitting that our country exists illegitimately and should therefore disband and allow native peoples to have their rightful land. And so following this philosophy forward I would have to assume that such a moral stance by extension would not only would apply to Native Americans but also to indigenous people the world over. This begs another question: how far back should one go? In the United States we can identify this point easily, but in other parts of the world it becomes more murky-- how does one define "indigenous" and which point in the long history of other parts of the world would be the time one would point to where the people occupying the land at that time would be considered the rightful indigenous people. The issue is essentially that virtually every current population in every nation on the planet were not the same people that were there at the time history started being recorded; often, if not always, locations have been conquered, occupied, and subjugated many times over the years. Which people from when should be considered the rightful owners and therefore be awarded the land? Basically the entire world is populated by people who were originally from somewhere else, and most of the time the prior occupants did not leave willingly. So in the opinion of someone who would advocate for indigenous rights, how should such a hypothetical restoration take place? How far back should we go? Who should decide how the lines should be drawn and which people groups should go where? I agree that war, conquering, and the taking by force of land that has been occupied for a long time from someone else seems wrong and evil. Yet it has been the way the world and people have organized themselves ever since human ingenuity and agricultural technology permitted staying in one place and setting up trade and relations with other people groups that did the same. How would it all work? What would be the right way to act on this moral imperative to more justly arrange the occupation of the earth's populated locations, and by whom? I'd be interested to know, because this practical problem has always perplexed me when I hear people advocate for such a course of action. Thanks.

Amazingly, our school taught us about the Lenape tribe. A town in Passaic County, NewJersey. I'm glad of that.

The Lenni Lenape (aka Delawares) are the Grandfather Tribe that all other tribes came from. Thus their title, The Grandfather's. They settled disputes amongst tribes too.

They're doing it right. I'm always amazed how little Americans know about their own history and their own people. I never knew that you could meet someone telling you "I thought you were extinct ". To be honest I'm not very educated about native cultures in North America myself but I've always felt a lot of respect for them and I think that their connection to the earth and to the cyclic nature of life is something that we lack in today's society. I wish native cultures received more acknowledgment and representation, in the education system, in politics, in everyday society... like in New Zealand for example. Maybe one day. Don't give up hope.

Very heart warming , God Bless Native People , Hope they live with pride

Originally Manahatta, meaning land of many hills. Pronounced Manhattan by the Dutch.

Well said ...you can't discover a land that is inhabited. Real history needs to be taught.

👏👏👏👏🤗🇵🇭Greetings Whit All Do Respect To My Brother's And Sister's ,"Citizens Of The First Nation's Of The Continent" From A Purepecha Brother ,Thanks, Thanks For Not Forgetting Your Roots.

This is soooo beautiful ad positive,I Love it. The Indians are BACK in Mah-hattana! wow. profoud and again so beautiful!! Wow thankyou. Wash'Te'-A-Hey-Oh!!

This are the Real American

I never realized that Lenape originated in NYC. That’s probably why the Lenape side of my family adopted a Dutch surname before fleeing south.

awesome, man...need more footage of Native Americans on main steam media, eh...reconcile ...educate ...thank you..Turtle Island (north America) is on native land...awesome couple...

I will be attending some nyc pow wows in the future

Me emociona ver lo viva que esta esta cultura, los verdaderos duenos de estas TIERRAS, antes que se las robaran y los exterminaran, me saco el sombrero y les doy mi mas profundo respeto y admiracion por lo que estan creando con las nuevas generaciones. Columbus fue un genocida, junto con todos los delincuentes que se robaron todo en SUDAMERICA, centroamerica y el caribe. Cerebro este mes con mucha alegria y admiracion.

Native American culture is so interesting... It just makes me want to watch more..

For the 29 people who disliked this you literally have no soul, let's all take the time to honor one of the most sacred cultures in the world Native-American Lives Matter.

I’ve always been fascinated by this culture.

I’m indigenous living in NYC with two kids and my daughter has suffered because of being indigenous in Manhattan

I have always admired the culture in every way because it’s fascinating. Despite the fact that I am white, I always thought that I was Native American but it turns out I’m not which kinda stinks because I would love to be Native American or my children someday because they can learn more about the culture and be proud of their heritage.

Beautiful culture.

Who else doin this for ELA/History homework?

She's so beautiful🌷🌷🥂

Keep that tradition alive brothers/sisters. I wish I knew where my tribe were from because some of us lost ours. I wish you well.

I am part Lenape and I am very proud of my heritage.

Just to keep the facts in line: The main 2 Lenape nations are not in Michigan, they're in Oklahoma: The dances shown are not Lenape dances specifically. There are also 2 Lenape nations in NewJersey-NewYork border area and in Delaware: Ramapough and Nanticoke-Lenii Lenape. The main Lenape nation is planning a move from Oklahoma, where the nation was forced to live within the Cherokee reservation, to land previously held in Kansas in the late 1800's.

Great to see native people dancing on ancesters land honouring Thier ancesters and it's great to see ❤

the Lenape did inhabit southern manhattan but the rest was under weckquaesgeek control the Lenape were more in southern ny and all of New Jersey but aside from that this is cool,

My 6th great-grandmother was a Monacan Indian from Virginia. My 8th great-grandmother was half black half Mohican Indian from Albany County, NY.

I'm a very proud Dakota and Lakota sioux warriors people. I would like to see a very grand powow in New York city. My great information for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day. May the great native American eagle bless you and always sorrow over you always.

Delaware Tribe of Indians, Bartlesville, Oklahoma . Delaware Nation, Anadarko, Oklahoma.

All lenape people must live in NY and all New Yorker must learn lenape language & culture.

Human biology 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.

No doubt I have ancestry from Native Americans. I don’t need to do dna testing on this . 👍 #facts #

Make America Great Again? No. Make Turtle Island Indigenous Again? Yes. 🐢🏝

Beautiful Sacred Couple I hope they will marry and multiply beyond imagination. Ase'

It's great to see actual Native Americans using names from their own language instead of European-Christian names.

Ahsen'names. Stone fish in Lenape.

Right on that's good good young couple.....

god this is so beautiful thank you for this video!!!!!!

thx that is for my school

4:15 so gorgeous❤✨✨✨✨

I grew up in a small town. The Indian reserve invited the school to attend the pow wow every year.

Beautiful people 🇺🇸

I am happy that Americans exist today in the USA but I'm really unhappy at how invisible and unincorporated in our lives they are. Most Americans I know come from Central America and Caribbean areas and Mexico.

Lol trying to be woke but the natives won’t let this be. Women have a place as do men. F your msn coverage.

👍

Native Americans not pre Pakistani indian Bangladesh =indians.

That is pure love. I wish for great things for both of you. That is pride!

Ixehe to the lenape our time is here this is the native american decade NAHOMA 👊🏾🙏🏾💯🌎🦅🐾🕵🏾‍♀️

They don't look copper colored to me.

It's great the lenape have come back to Thier ancestral land ❤❤❤

Greetings from NJ , All the best !!

I’m a descendent of Catoneras, most-likely a Lenape woman but there are people who believe she was Montauk. She has lots of descendants and unfortunately our “diluted blood” contributes to the loss of land right for native New York peoples. I honestly didn’t even know Lenape still existed like that. I love that they’re bringing attention to this. Power to the People… NY will always be Native Land

I heard lenape i remember i thought mohawkans were ny natives

Lenapes have never left

That Maltese Star shape on your headband is that Native? WShts its meaning?

Maybe there are huge numbers of natives around since USG are more concerns of the 12 millions Uyghurs in China ; whom under oppression

She is a BEAUTIFUL woman ❤

Beautiful ❤❤ much Love & Respect

They are awsome

I really like their culture clothes

Otter tribe still exists that's pretty amazing

This so Beautiful Right

What is a pow wow

Diamond part native American as well back! Just so everyone knows, the native Americans did not leave the island of Manhattan because it became overpopulated and colonized. The native Americans actually sold the island of Manhattan to European settlers. Just saying! Facts are facts. Coming from someone who has native American ancestry

The Indigenous Peoples of the Americas Parade October 14th 2023

I am from India (Asia) and as a kid I used to wonder why native Americans are called Indians? In India, very few things are known about them. Later I got greatly interested in their culture and history. Their cultures and beliefs and mythologies and history are the treasures for the world. In our country India , we have 22 official languages after independence from british. We Indians love our culture so much. Lots of respect to all the diverse cultures in the world and to the native American culture.

I hope they voted for Elizabeth Warren at least! Great story. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס'ד

You killed and, destroyed them just like brazil. Hawaii P. rico and, africa its beautiful to see every body getting back to themselves.

People see big apple with giant tall buildings with glimpse and glamour I see spiritual land which native people thrive according to their tradition law and upholding their origin Constitution which they live and see dance sing around fire🔥 the eagle flys as their eye in the sky which represents thier feathers sky wind sun water flows through their veins which reflects the Hudson River 🙏💪❤️🔥🌊🦅

Yeah. Your right in a way. It was the vikings that came to the US continent before Columbus did. He just put the US on the map..

The native americans are the most marginalized community in this country, their stories often overlooked by more popular stories of racism and underrepresented communities. Forced migration and Res life are a stain nobody wants to talk about. Like they said in this, non natives often believe they no longer exist. Rather than white washed and ignored, their culture and history should be embraced and acknowleged. Lenape in PA have no official organization due to the failure of the state to recognize them. I would love to see more native representation in the media and politics.

i constantly see this level of nostalgia for past 'things', truth be told do you want everything that comes with that? even the war and fighting?

The Dutch gave the Lenape chief $24 worth of junk for Manhattan. They got scammed.

It’s good to see some tribes participating in powwows not ceremonies but powwows. In a way that’s what pretty much tribes all have left. 😢

POW WOW IS NOT ARE WAY WHY YALL FLEXIN WHEN YOU DONT EVEN KNOW YOUR HERITAGE

You look fantastic, very beautiful. I can see, these people so proud.
