Natives Guess Who's Native American | Lineup | Cut 

But you talk with the people from those countries and according to them they’re more European than Europeans themselves.

​@@timbuktu93 There is a difference between having been colonized without wanting to and wanting to recognize your roots. Unfurtunely that's the case with latam, we were colonized and a lot of our culture was erased.

@@kamilatavera6706What happened in the USA to natives happened to all of Latin America to natives as well, but happened on a more horrific scale. I’m Dominican and there’s little to no knowledge of my Taino Indian culture.

I agree with @monserratmolins8786 though not all Mexican people are indigenous or have indigenous roots/ancestors. Same as how not all USAmericans have indigenous roots. Mexico was colonized too. He did jump too fast to equating Mexican to indigenous but was proven correct when he said he has a Mayan ancestor.

I knew he was Mexican because a lot of us have indigenous ancestry and we have the facial features generations down the line

Right everybody a native

Couldn’t have said it better 💋 Los gringos creen que el término “americano” aplica solo para ellos, invalidando nuestro orígenes de Latinoamérica además de que tenemos una mayor población de indígenas que ellos!

no fr as if mexico isn’t the country with the highest indigenous population 😭

yeah those natives always discriminate the real natives from the midwest. its so weird lmao

@@dilfluvr9000fr like what are we native Mexican? What makes no sense! We are native Americans as well

that does not mean he has the blood at all, just because you have ancestors that were raped does not mean they have the native bloodline because its deluded.

​@@XavierBasurto777A lot of natives in America have deluded blood too....soooo alot of people in Mexico are indigenous all the way to the Amazon and Caribbean's there's more natives then just Asiatic natives

@@rubenguerra8524 im aware of that... that is exactly what i was saying because there is only 5 million natives with the blood, the others are completely diluted to another race.

He's so beautiful ♥

​@@XavierBasurto777Did you just make up that 5 million number? 12 million people in Mexico alone speak an indigenous language let alone have sangre indigena. Do you even visit Mexico outside of tourist traps? I travel throughout all the time and regularly hear Nahuatl, Maya, Purapecha my origen indigena, and the list goes on and on. There are another 12m that self identify as indigena as well. Whenever I see a post on RU-vid where someone speaks with such authority on something they usually don't have a clue. BTW my family is lite skinned with hazel eyes but still practice the traditions and speak Purepecha. Don't ever let anyone tell you, you don't belong based on their ignorance.

The Ainu Native people of Japan plus in General Japanese are Na t I've people of Siberia and Monogolia😮

Yep Ainu is the name of the Indigenous Japanese people that were there prior to the Japanese invasion of their homelands.

There is also the Okinawan! Who are totally different language wise

​@@TedH71good news: the Ainu are still there! ❤

Okinawa is an island off the coast of Japan and that was what she was referring to I believe. Not the Ainu. Okinawan culture is being wiped out slowly because Japan took over Okinawa way back (which is why people say they are Japanese because it is now technically part of Japan). I hope this helps people understand more.

Agree

I totally agree but I wouldn’t say he’s white passing, he is white. What other race would he be. Being racially white doesn’t take away from your mixed ancestry. You can be racially white and indigenous just like you can be black and indigenous.

@@SG-et6mi his eyes gave it away, he is definitely Alaskan native mixed with white european

Same

Yeah I really appreciated how she talked to him, especially because so many Indigenous people were forcibly ripped away from their culture and community. You can be completely Indigenous as far back as forever and been systematically ripped from your culture by the government and so you never get to grow up with the mannerisms or other cultural markers.

Okayyy the skin is skinning 🥰🥰😍

Yes dude ugh the hoodie guy gave me the ick. Reminds me of fuckboys from my childhood neighborhood always seeking attention for nothing. She was really open and embraced anyone even those who didn’t fit the stereotype. Which is weird the other ones were so stereotypical and basing it only off that cuz they’re both mixed native anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️ the comments of, you don’t have crystal jewelry you’re not native or if you’re Mexican you’re not native was straight stupid.

@@saludosalsolyeah if I’m being totally honest as a native, I think I would only claim the woman guesser as a ‘true’ native.. at least in regards to spirit.

He kind of put me off too. I’m Apache and Pascua Yaqui but I’m adopted and didn’t grow up with my culture. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I really began researching my family and found who my biological parents were. So I know my roots now and am trying to reconnect as much as I can from Ohio when my tribes are in Arizona. Looking at me it’s pretty obvious I’m indigenous but I don’t sound like it.

Perhaps she was willing to look past stereotypes and whatnot because she has lighter skin and knows how it feels to be seen as "not Native enough."

@@saludosalsolhe felt a little bit eager to justify being wrong about the white passing Alaskan native & kinda dismissive by assuming his native ancestry was far down the line when it sounds like he was possibly adopted out or his dad left the reservation (as in he didn’t live on it) which doesn’t make him any less native, just white passing. I really appreciated that the woman in green was not only kind to everyone, but apologetic about getting it wrong & validated him. She was so sweet for that & he was trying to be so considerate of his privilege. I hope they stayed in touch after this

That is sad, I learnt about that when I went to the Native American museum

it's kinda crazy too because it keeps happening even right now and most people seems to be okay with it when it's basically slowly killing cultural identity..

Well, coke and Pepsi.. neither are indigenous native drinks. If your from the western states, Pepsi; s more popular. If you're from a southern state, you've never tasted a Pepsi and every fizzly drink is a coke. That doesn't have anything to do with being Native American. This whole thing was more like mixed people trying to judge other mixed people by what percentage they possibly were and whether they practiced any part of their tribal culture.. fry bread is only native because it was introduced by the Scottish . Not every native tribe eats fry bread, but all cultures have a form of fried bread. More irony that the guy from Mexico was dismissed And the one from Alaska was not..

Same here, my great grandparents stopped passing down their indigenous culture. I at least lived in their village for a few summers, also fry bread aren't a thing in mexico so I doubt my family over there even tasted them.

I'm from Kansas City and this is so true for nearly all sides of my family. We all identify as black, and I only found out that I have Sioux Lakota in me (from one side) because of research, and migration patterns almost six years ago. There are families that don't mention any history or don't even talk about it, because they are so far removed. It's sad to think that I may have distant cousins still living in reservations, or tribe ties that have been damaged because of the lack of knowledge.

i had a nightmare last night tht i was missin my front tooth😂 woke up watched this and still think itd be terrifying bc i would never be able to pull it off like her . she just looks cool af

Same, got me thinking "should I knock my tooth out?" 🤣🤣

You do understand everybody native on the video right 🤔

Anybody can be a native somewhere.the only native American in the video is the white guy cus his ppl is the ones that created the group in then put the Asian mongoloid,Siberian in other mixture of ppl in the group in start calling them the native american in had ppl to call them that

@@feathersup2155yea i got so confused reading the comment, i was like “which girl we speaking of?”

This! It kills me when Mexicans think that they aren't Native American and when people don't make space for them. The borders between Canada/US/Mexico are made up by colonizers. We're all from this land.

"Many" is a stretch tbh. Most are mestizo, euro or afro.

@@VMF-rj8qo but mestizo is mixed, if you are half native and grew up in a family with those traditions you can still be considered native, even with just a native last name the goverment can consider you native, but ofc there are some mestizos that are too blended and didnt grow up native too.

​@VMF-rj8qo Unfortunately, many places in Central and South America do not have full native blood. 90% or more are mixed and many traditions have been dying to the point people deny their ancestry. Like for me, I identify as native, Taíno, even though I have probably 20% of it in my DNA which is unfortunately the highest you can have realistically for other North Caribbean islanders. Since most of our traditions and history are wiped out due to the Spanish labeling Taíno as extinct, it's hard to embrace our roots. Although almost every Puerto Rican know that they're mixed, very little try to restore the Taíno aspect about them, which is beyond sad to me.

​​@@sndsd4311 You can still have native culture for sure but most in Middle America (not the US meaning of the term) aren't even half native, they have mostly european or sub-saharan admixture (also south asian), and aren't connected to indigenous culture - the same as in anglo america basically - so I think calling them native is a stretch, more like "have native descent". I say this as a brazilian. I'm of native descent, probably 20% or something, but I'd never call myself a native because that rings deeper than I really go. I have barely any cultural connection to natives and am mostly european and afro genetically so calling myself (like calling most Mexicans and Central Americans) full on "natives" feels off to me.

Exactly we’re mostly of native descent but the gringos labeled us as “Hispanics” to take away our roots from us. We may speak Spanish but we have no connections to Spain whatsoever just bc they colonized us. I wish we could be able to relearn our native languages or atleast promote them so we can have our own identities.

We are!

mexicans have so many indigenous traditions, beliefs, and even eat the food too. so many traditions were taken from us and the europeans tried to claim it as theirs/made it abt catholicism. quinceañeras, dia de los muertos, etc.

Many northern mexican tribes were the same or closely related of those passing the border. Also, he doesn't look native american at all, he looks full on black, pick random central american and they will jave well over 40% indigenous blood.

💯the blacks w their Afro textured hair gatekeeping who is indigenous in the Americas! They’re desperate to be anything but black!!

U can check where state in Mexico tribes they have. Not everyone is nahua like Mexicas.

A few months ago, I came across a weird TikTok debate about native people saying Mexican natives are not native...and Mexican natives responding back. It was a very small and weird territory on the Internet 😅

Same I'm like 56% Indigenous and I get mistaken for Native all the time. Mostly because I'm super tall, thick black hair and the cheek bones. I also live close to a reservation

Yes! I also did my DNA test thinking I’d be like 50/50 white and native (because there’s a big indigenous population in Peru but everyone calls each other mestizo) and I ended up with a whopping 96% indigenous lol

Is just amazing how Americans act as if they didn’t know most Latin Americans have native blood.

That white man is not native lol what’s up with white people wanting to claim 5% blood that most likely doesn’t exist 💀 meanwhile the USA has cages full of natives at the border smh

Right?

This reminds me of a lot of natives in china as well, there are many tribes that don't look east Asian but have their lands conquered by Han Chinese centuries ago. It's not talked about much and also covered up to a certain extent as well.

And shout out the Mexican Natives ! And all of LATAM! Tacos are actually a indengenous food and ik everyone in the USA loves tacos 😂we don't do fry bread in South America!

Okinawa's indigenous culture got absolutely buried by the Japanese, and it's only recently that there has been more interest and respect given to the native Okinawans. If you are interested in other Asian indigenous groups, you should read up on the Taiwanese indigenous groups. Nearly all pan-Pacific indigenous cultures including the indigenous Australians and New Zealanders, and the peoples of Polynesia can trace their heritage back to Taiwan through their language and art.

not only suicide and homelessness, but addiction and the abduction/sex trafficking/rape/and murder of indigenous women.

If you’re indigenous and don’t mind answering this question, I was very confused by this video, I live in Canada and recognition of indigenous people is a really big deal here even if it isn’t always done, but my best-friend is Métis which is a tribe that was mixed with European and indigenous, she looks white because technically, biologically ( she took a dna test) she’s more white than indigenous by a lot, but she doesn’t identify as white but just Métis. Now here’s my question all these white and black indigenous folk in this video, can they really be classified as indigenous to that land? The white indigenous dude is probably more European, and the black indigenous people are definitely more African if anything. It’s like saying Tyler the creator, who’s mom is mixed, is white because he has a bit of white in him. I mean I’m black myself and it’s weird when people claim blackness and the culture, whether that be black American culture, African culture, or or black South American culture. It’s weird because technically you won’t have to go through the experiences I do, and your descendants are the reason why I’m in that predicament in the first place. I’m a historian junkie I know way too much about colonization and history in general, but I am not indigenous, so I could really just be super closed minded and I really have no clue what you guys think of this. I hope this makes sense I would really appreciate a response, thank you.

@cinnamontoastcrunch1666 blood quantity is a colonial thing. I think it matters as to if they embrace their heritage, culture, and their tribe as a whole. If you identify with being European then that's who you are, but if you're part of a dying culture, you owe your ancestors the duty of keeping that culture alive.

Bc the idiotic schooling system focused on North America= "Native Americans" and lightly glossed over the indigenous roots of Central, South America and the Caribbean.

Could you please tell/explain to me what the difference is between native and indigenous?

​@FrogeniusW.G. They're synonyms but indigenous can be used for any population that was first present in a given territory. For example, the Khoisan tribe are indigenous to South Africa. Native in an American context is usually short for Native-American.

Many lied to get gain clout and money. Like Elizabeth

​@@erenjaeger1738, equally many natives lied about being white. Go back in census and see how it works literally deiends.. plus u dint think the census tauees really cared, especially for the territories.. they couldn't even get the names of the kids right and a lot of the people couldn't even tell their own age or year they were born,csi they estimated or guessed . The head of household or the female ages vary with each year, give or take 2 or 3. Natives at the time didn't keep birth records. Unless one was born on the reservation, they'd have no way of knowing. contrary to belief , they didn't count the moons or add shells to their dress . They didn't keep death records, either. It was thise colonizers who brought all that records keeping bit. The card carrying is enforced by the natives, on account of money, and land rights, a totally European concept. The irony.

True, it amazes me that people are shocked that Latin countries, Central America, can have Indigenous blood in them. Like, do they not see their features?! Lmao, likely more dna in them than most of USA Natives(not a diss, but just saying)

I am native from Mexico. My best friend is Aleutian. We've been friends for over a decade. She's quite a riot lol.

no, overall Mexicans are very mixed euro and indigenous american, with more of the former in the north and more of the latter in the south. You can look at studies on the wikipedia page for Mexicans, the data is super variable depending on the sample

also not true for all counties south, as the largest Brazil is predominantly euro, then afro, then indigenous american

Most? Only 25% of Mexicans are indigenous so I wouldn’t say largely..

facts, the mexican guy was clearly racially native american

Yeah they are like 65% and one out of 5 Mexicans is over 80% indigenous. I say this as a Mexican

@@princessdaya5781 if this was about white people and someone was talking about their skull shape I think you'd find it weird. The history of physiognomy is not a pretty one. Plus, a lot of native people have most of their ancestry from other racial groups, like Black Cherokee or Garifuna folks

There ARE Mexican Apache still alive today. They're starting to reconnect with the American Apaches via the internet. They have started to visit each other once a year or every 2 years. The American ones are teaching the Mexican ones about the Apache way of life.

MEXICANS are more Native than anyone. The Virgin Mary is a Native goddess. The holidays like dia de Los muertos is a native holiday.

No before mexico it was called New Spain. Spanish won the war from fighting the Mexicas (Aztec) mexico tenochtitlan and then named Mexico city. Spanish conquistadors took many Latin America countries and Caribbeans. Portugal took Brazil and brought West Africa slave trade there. There's was already indigenous Americans in Brazil. Europeans aka Iberian owne Mexico. They were in power in Mexico and stayed there after gaining independence from Spain. September 27, 1821 Around like late 1490s many Spanish conquistadors will soon go to Southwest United States And find many more tribes over there. Spanish were the first Europeans to head there. They're the one who founded Southwest states and the west coast and southern. That's y many Spanish are still there like one example the city "Los Angeles" means The Angels in California. They're the who named California. It isn't the brown Mexican yall thinking. It was the Europeans aka Iberians. Spanish conquistadors will find so many Native Americans in California like Gabrieleño-Tongva. Before Los Angeles. The Tongva and other tribes were there would soon face a different world.

​@@mrsssmlllaie4402, for the same reason a Russian doesn't go to France and claim to be native , Though both are native European, being native to a continent doesnt make a person native to a region or same culture.. the whole idea is absurd to me.

But sadly, we have a social issue of division and prejudice has to his people should be stereotyped and categorized and how they should act. Example is how biracial children are emotionally pulled apart by both families to choose a side and how they should identify even now, some people who can trace their line to only tribal members say if you aren't a card carrying member, you're a " wannabe ". How truly sad is that? . Just like the stereotyping And bias presented in this video.

all natives red race must unite into one single tribe in arizona where the angels live in the mountains and will help figure out who each person really is. if you can afford to move there, you should and make a gardens for food. cosmic light blessings

Who was sub Saharan African? I don’t remember hearing anyone stating that they were African

@@kady5955 you are missing the point...

So please explain I’m genuinely confused .

@@kady5955 you know exactly what an african is, there is no black native american.

Thank you for standing up for central americans guatemalan sister, im nicaraguan of nahua descent (nicarao) and im proud of my nahua heritage 💪🇳🇮

I am european, so probably an outsider, but I found this episode kinda weird tbh. Not in all aspects tho. Everyones looking different in a lot of apects, but still theyre tryna go for visual clues.

I think so many of us *do* judge - some understandably, and some not so. I think, with so many tribes of varying cultures and backgrounds and mixed heritages, it can get very messy judging who is and isn't. And we've been so divided for decades - and sometimes centuries - that it can be hard to remember that what you grew up with is not always the experience of other indigenous. Pair that on top of the sudden influx of non-native people suddenly claiming heritage because it's "trendy" or checking boxes of native heritage for special benefits (like college admissions), and we have a perfect recipe of misunderstanding, judgment, and gatekeeping.

Bro relax they're guessing XD they're supposed to judge

Preach. Its gross.

felt like the long haired guesser only asked stereotypes... gave me weird vibes

Tlingits don’t call our gatherings powwows, usually called ḵu.éex' or also potlatch. Potlatch is a trade word from Chinook Jargon, used all along the NWC and interior

@@jalynnakins ok, thank you for that clarification! Yeah, I’m Apache and Blackfoot and while obviously in the lower 48 they call it powwows but always living in Alaska my memorable life, I’ve only ever attended potlatches in Fairbanks and even in Anchorage. So, while I grew up in my very early life in Ketchikan, I don’t remember what my parents brought me to lol but best believe there’s pictures 😜

My family is from the Yukon, I thought it was weird the way she said it too... made me wonder if we were saying it wrong our entire lives 😳🤔🤣🤣

@@suzanneellis BAHAHAAHHA omg, same. I was thinking like, does she know something I don’t know? Is this the proper way to say it? lol 😂

My bf is Tsimshian he grew up in Ketchikan he said he's NEVER heard Juneau pronunced like that. And she also mentioned a reservation in Juneau but there is no rez in Juneau, the only reservation is Metlakatla, did she just goof or did she mean "village" instead of reservation

But where is Persia these days? Iran, a part of India (now Pakistan)? What's wrong with saying Iranian?

@@maryamkim1281My aunt’s husbands family always said Persian. Iran was probably still a new concept.

@@maryamkim1281 Lots of hate here for Iranians. Why open yourself up to ignorant people if you can count on at least some of them being ignorant of what Persian is synonymous with.

Even Mexican traditions and food derive from indigenous culture. Chipotle and Chocolate are Nahuatl words. We have a lot of non translatable words. Our government website has indigenous translations.

💯

@@Luceroluna_3exactly. People say most Mexicans aren’t native cuz they don’t practice indigenous traditions or a recognized by a specific tribe when the majority of Mexican culture in itself is indigenous culture which has survived European colonization. Día de Los muertos has indigenous origins. Tacos, menudo, pozole, tamales, mole, etc etc etc are all indigenous foods. Yet we’re told we can’t claim to be native.

​@@anthonyperez2406also in mexico we don't really call them "tribes". maybe in the north, but most definetly not in the center or south

MESTIZO literally means you are a mess. lol

Came looking for this comment. Took me a bit to realize she was saying Juneau.

Yeah he's giving Pretendian vibes

Man literally just said natives play basketball baseball and football like every other race in America dosent😂😂

Right ? It’s like having a predominantly native looking person representing all black people. That won’t go over well I’m sure but it’s perfectly fine here. Very strange like an agenda. 🤔

⁠@@Zapp33311Exactly! Same with blood quantum, if a non-native person finds the smallest percent of indigenous heritage they can claim to be native because blood quantum is bad (which it is in most regards) but if a white person for example were to claim they are black because of a small percent they found, then its weird (it is) but it irritates me because now virtually anybody can claim to be native and speak over us 😩
