As a Black American with Native ancestry… This is so refreshing. I appreciate what you’re doing. Natives deserve to be celebrated for your beauty and resilience!
I am African American with indigenous blood as well and the song brought tears my eyes Homie! God knows I would love for all black and brown in the United States to combine like a fist and crush this f'ed up system!
As a Native I find Native hip hop to be very focused on real life situations, which I really admire. The positivity from music like this is important, especially for me. I'm recovering from drug/alcohol abuse, and face depression/anxiety on a daily basis. I constantly wonder of my ancestors and wish they could see how we are treated today as the smallest minority on our own land, it's truly disappointing to know that most of the population can ignore us while we suffer and are oppressed by the same government that reduced us to the little groups we've become. #staystrong #NativePride
Im older 46 dont do tha whole hashtag shit. But fams I feel you. I was raised catholic. Im a California Native. And that shit sucks. Its hard to shake off. That colonists type of living. Catholic guilt trips are crazy. Ive come to learn. Our creator and mother are not like that. We all have our path. Some call it the Red road. We just have to live it. There is no wrong way as long as you. Follow what your called to do. And only you on your own. Can make your path. Talk to some elder Natives. They will help if they can.
Update: Two years after my initial comment, I've completely forgotten about this. Thankfully I've found it again, because I've been in a terrible mind state lately. I am relieved to say that I no longer use drugs, I only drink alcohol on occasion, and I never drink too much whenever I do decide to drink. I've taken some big steps in this past two years alone; I bought a car, which was paid in full with cash, I've moved into an apartment with my girlfriend, and I'm currently waiting on a raise at my job. I'm just faced with the issue of my self worth. I find myself constantly asking if I'm even good enough for my girlfriend, if I'm ever going to be successful in my music career. I'm worried because the one passion I did have, which was making music, I'm starting to decrease in interest and creativity. Finding this comment, though, has made my mind feel alleviated. Just to be reminded of how far I've come, how hard I've busted my ass to be successful. I would just like to thank those who responded, or even just took time to read my comment. #StayingStrong #ProudOfMyself
@@codndn my brother as a black Hispanic, who knows about the issues we face as minorities, I appreciate your honesty and your strength in telling people about your struggles it shows that you have a special inner strength and that you can get through your problems. Never ever doubt your self and feel you have no self worth! Remember your ancestors and how they are a strong wise, loving people you owe them too continue to be strong and continue there legacy. The racist Caucasians, not all of them would love a native man like yourself to be weak and lack pride in himself. Be strong you are a warrior that calls himself PROD. JAH. it's alot in that name Bru!
Cherokee here....my great grandfather was full blood native..my grandfather full blood..my dad half blood....Honor the culture American government..every culture is equally IMPORTANT....
ONE thing about being NATIVE....is the fact my grandma showed me the ways AND taught me, as a boy, HOW to cook!!! So in 2019.....I always take the initiative.....I
Stay up... native pride😤🤘🏽 us natives still around after all our history trough the darkest moments and we still rocking! suicide isn't the way rip ian❤️
Thank you for this! I am a 65 year old Cherokee/Piute woman. I have never heard Red Eagle. I have now! And I like it! I am blessed with a super sound system in my not granny mobile. Soon as I can find this album it's going to be loud and proud. I think it's time to show who we are as a proud people. How strong we are and the joy we have as we gather. AIM forever!
As a Native American male, I to daily am consistently reminded of the losses we have suffered. Here in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. I live in what was once Kalapuya territory, this place was once pristine, with fresh water everywhere, fresh air and at night a amazing view of the stars thrown into the sky by ferret, who was trying to hide them. There was cultured and trade. They had contact with the tribes in all four directions, and even though they all spoke different kalapuyan dialects they could all still communicate with one another. They burned the valley floor every 3 to 5 years to cleans the valley of unwanted vegetation, they created scrub oak savannahs for the animals to use as shelter, and the surrounding vegetation to eat, which in turn helped the Kalapuyan people to thrive for centuries. But unfortunately, when ferret threw the stars into the sky, he also let out spirits like death and diseases. The natives of old were extremely healthy, they ate well, exercised every day, prayed every day and bathed everyday. It said that a average work day was about 4 hours, this was a bit more for the women, but the women were respected and many times became leaders themselves. Then, those same diseases that ferret let lose were brought here by the boat people from across the seas. I don't need to go into that, we all live it everyday. Its a horrible tragedy I live with daily, a memory I can't escape. A horrible jail in my mind. Me I'm not Kalapuya, doesn't matter my tribe. At one point in time, this happened to every tribe on these shores. Very few escaped the genocide that happened here. You can disagree, but look around. You will see that what I am saying is true. This isn't to point a finger, I'm not blaming anyone, this is just how things are, and it's sad.
I understand. As an African American and half Shoshone person, I can say that I have felt the pain of both sides. I think we as minorities need to rise to end the oppression that has ruined our lives. But remember, we are still here throughout everything we've been through! We are still here. That shows how strong we are as a nation.
oh god I had never heard of the smallpox blankets and I looked them up and it made me so sad! this is important stuff that they really need to teach in schools. I could have gone my whole life not knowing the full extent of Native American struggles and what white people did. meanwhile schools teach the white perspective on everything and gloss over the bad parts of history.
As an African American as you say , bro African American people are more wealthy then many tribes and y’all yet to still cry freedom those wealthy African Americans could go back to there motherland and contribute and make Africa well again ,unlike our peoples we can’t cuz the white man aka Anglo Saxon, Caucasian, still fears the natives that’s why they strip us from our land and put our peoples in reservation, with NO POWER ,but African Americans have enough to help build and help its people in there mother land .
Wow I’m blown away ! That’s something we should remind ourselves; after all our ancestors went through and we’re still here. 60% Navajo. 40% Mexican. So much pride in this life
Proud to be Native Mexican to the fullest God made me a Native And Mexican until the day I die. I pray for all my native that God is going to give us a better future. Best believe Brothers and sisters in Jesus name Amen!!!!
@@kawoqaak7146 Dam im part Mexican and Native. No Catholic crap for me. Ill burn sage and pray to my Ancestors Grandfather and Mother earth. One Red Nation. One fams
haha ya catholicism is wack, however, so is buring sage. Burning sage might make you feel a certain way, but you should know that witches and warlocks burn that too, and more. In this current time we cannot talk with ancestors, the "Ancestors Grandfather and Mother earth" you've talked with are deceitful spirits in disguise. By the way, Jesus isn't His Name, there's a reason people say HalleluYAH, which means "praise YAH". Some spell it HallaluJAH, but it is important to note that there is no J in Hebrew, as I think kawoq is implying. The color red is thrown around a lot, lately I've heard about "red China", I don't know enough about that to comment on it though. Does that mean there's a blue China or an orange China? What do those colors mean? No I'm not supporting China, I just like to ask questions instead of believe everything I'm told. By the way, I think we can all agree the most dangerous immigrant arrived in 1492 i.imgur.com/F7cnSrf.png
Even if you're not a federally recognized trube you're still Native. I am Chumash, Taos Pueblo, Cahokia, Maya, and Nazca non are federally recognized and if they were I have mixed Indiginatiy I cannot apply for a tribal card. You don't need a card to tell you you're Indigenous.
I'm not a native, but this is great. This is an age of negativity; fear, xenophobia, racism, greed and oppression, The Native People are a great inspiration in this time of endurance and resistance. You stand for your people but in doing that you stand for all people. Best wishes, always.
@@Mr_big_foot831 shit brother gay folk are open minded than that asshole . And allot less racist for sure. So they may be more human like us than him? And im striaght bro lol
I went to Standing Rock in Aug. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Shouts out to Jesse for keeping our ppl on the "modern" day map. *Kiowa *Comanche ✊
I hope to share my voice and word with the world as you do one day. I’ve been listening to you for a couple, maybe a few years now and I just wanna thank you for some great tunage. ❤ Half Ojibwe and half Lakota here, how about everyone else??
What kind of aztec technically a lot of groups could classify under it . Technically I am as well due to where my ancestors traveled from n their language. Or even mayan my grandma side we have mayan from the maya chorti group
Pōsoh, āneq nap! Taanishi kiya! This music/message is just what we need. I cry everytime at the natives in the video "breaking" into laughter. We were taught for so long to be ashamed of who we are... What you are doing here is SO important! Much love from the frozen north of turtle island.
I do this for jesus not for the sacred jesus christ....but for my brother himself jesus...n the southern utes...navajos..hopis n all southwest indians ...we proud to be here...
I'm an Alcoholic in ACTIVE RECOVERY... I'm born n raised from da App-Minneapolis, MN🙋🙋🙋 I really enjoyed your music, ur an exceptionally fabulous performer n artist, your blessed 😇😇😇😇

I’m only a small percent Native American, But, it’s the part of me that I am most proud of. It breaks my heart that indigenous women are going missing, and the indigenous people of this country are being treated so poorly.
I'm Texas born that missing living in Oklahoma I'm Scottish Irish Cherokee and I stand with my people Scottish Irish native American freedom for all my people Scottish Irish native peoples we all should stand up for our people Scottish Irish native United
me too i feel like no one cares how we all feel because we have dark skin,like people say,its not whats on the outside,its whats on the inside that counts.
Keep ya heads held higher than the clouds and ya hearts beating to the last beat... and I'll bet that'll be true inspiration for the next generation. Native pride! Love! Peace!...
I'm a Punk/Metalhead, but your sound got my blood pumping and your lyrics are ear catching thought provoking, not to mention the production is well done. Thank you for your art
Same and I'm not entirely sure how it happened but SNRK popped up in my suggestions and now here I am. Subscribing to a bunch if native rappers because it's hitting my SOUL
I absolutely love the messages put forward thru Native music 💖 It feels good to feel proud of my ancestry..I mean, it was always there deep down. But its a different type of vibe when you don't grow up on a reservation with your people. People are not as loving as they should be after everything that has happened..but as we all know history repeats itself if you don't keep talking about it and creating awareness. We gotta keep the conversation going and not let it be forgotten.
Native Pride! I've endured the worst they had to throw at me and I'm still here. I was homeless and I'm still here. I was put on drugs yet I'm still here. I was targeted by gangs and I'm still here. I'm always going to be here! My memory will live on in their minds into their DNA so they remember my Descendents.
I'm glad we have artist that still spread our message and get the word out, we are caring people, and warriors who still have to fight the struggle, love what you doing her broski, keep this up, got my support #N8tivelife #N8tivelove
Red Eagle (aka) Jesse Robbins.......BLESS YOU SIR i know im not complete Native but i know that our people no matter what tribe it is we are all family in gods eyes so i may only be 10 but i know our family is in trouble and i think everything you just said in this is true so dont ever change who you are,God Bless and good day sir.

This was the first removal treaty carried into effect under the Indian Removal Act. The treaty ceded about 11 million acres of the Choctaw Nation in what is now Mississippi in exchange for about 15 million acres in the Indian territory, now the state of Oklahoma. The principal Choctaw negotiators were Chief Greenwood LeFlore, Musholatubbee, and Nittucachee; the U.S. negotiators were Colonel John Coffee and Secretary of War John Eaton.
