Reservation | Native Americans | One Word | Cut 

Rebecca Johnson so am I!!!!

Visit the Dakotas and you will learn a lot about the Sioux tribe.

Yeah you have a really good point~ most of the time native Americans are casted only to play a character that is specifically Native American. There is no “oh this character just happened to be Native American” :(.

My husband is a chaebol heir. No shit same here

Fun Fact: Sioux is actually an insult to lakota/datoka/nakota people given to them by their enemies! It means "Snake" and I believe it's from the algonquin speakers (I may be wrong) And if you want to know more about blackfoot history/culture I suggest looking up Walksfar woman as she poses an interesting piece of our native history!

Damn right!

+Kats987124 Where are you from?

+Wisið winilíkó. Britain.

+GhOsT ID It was from the time of the gold rush (1849?) to the battle of Little Bighorn. I don't remember talking about Mexico or Canada, just the US

+Kats987124 I'm currently taking US History AP (college level) and I cried several times at realizing how bad American Indians were treated, specially from the irony that such evilness came from "christians" who "followed Jesus". Throughout American history, sadly, one can tell since the beginning that colonists were focused on selfish benefits, pleasure, and nothing more, with the excuse of religion. If I were to point who God's people is, I would say they are those who live peacefully and do not pretend to be land owners. I then met an Indian tribe... no words to describe it. We are blind today, the modern world is a deception.

sounds like a rez

Ozie T I love your impartiality to negatives and positives! Need to look at both sides for balance.

I was born on the rez and it's more like you enjoy nature and when there a pow wow anyone can join.

Ozie T keep drinking that dirty water fraud

Zuri Coal I want to join another pow wow. I attended one some time ago. I remember, getting ready to leave, some of the young Indian kids laughing at me. Not sure why they were making fun of me, (maybe 'cause I am an outsider.) My feelings were hurt, but I still wish I could find a way to join in another. At least one, before I die.

+Mel T I agree but the sad thing about the US is they barely even talk about it. At least in Canada we acknowledge the unfair treatment, even if our government doesn't want to. We don't glorify and have a special holiday for someone who perpetrated genocide.

+Samantha B My family always mentions the Native Americans and acknowledges their suffering and sacrifices when we pray on Thanksgiving. And for the most part, I think Thanksgiving is becoming more about family, food, sports, and to enjoy the people around you more than it is about thanking pilgrims and Columbus for their work. This is probably the main reason that Thanksgiving is still around because it a great family day for making memories.

+Samantha B That must be true. I had no idea that this is how natives felt about reservations. Not a clue. My heart breaks for them.

jordan122100 I am glad you acknowledge it then. I meant more in terms of public education. In schools we learn about the mistreatment of Native people from a pretty young age and we don't have holidays like Columbus day. We also don't identify with the Thanksgiving myth although we do celebrate thanksgiving strictly as a time to give thanks and not tied to any events that happened with the early settlers in Canada.

+Samantha B at least in Californian education, they do talk about it as a genocide. They didn't glance over or sugar coat the trail of tears and mass murder of native Americans. Note I was in AP US History a year ago.

+D Rose i can get behind this

+varnageT same

+varnageT quit

+D Rose Fuck yeah #NativeLivesMatter

+D Rose i'm here for this

God be with you sister! I too as an African (Eritrean) know what it is like to be ignorantly stereotyped and demeaned. God is the one who brings justice and recompense. It was Jesus who taught me to forgive and showed m true love and comfort. He loves all the tribes and peoples of the earth. People have wrongfully used His Holy Name for their own racial and political agenda for centuries. But He is the the most wonderful person in this world. Get to know Him, your Father and Creator who is calling yo back to Him and He will raise you up for a mighty purpose and will give you a peace and understanding that He will judge the nations in due time and fully settle accounts between all nations and peoples of the earth. He is the God of justice (& love too!) God keep you and strengthen and lead all the days of your life!

AHOO!!! Cheii YAZ.😉

#ProudToBeNative

this is all about blacks. every associations/actions goes to that race , you'll never hear about the poverty in europe which is never ever shown on tv, you'll never hear about asians . all we ( whites) care about are blacks they got the help from the entire globe and never show compassion or gratefullness toward those who helps and i think if we can help some persons it would be people that are grateful in their culture and the priority for america is to help the first civilization which is natives. they're not full of hatred , they got values, that's the type of people we hould focus on helping.

@@KoVJames Jesus christ

+lillyscarlet There is no 'we' that needs to compensate. The 'we' that should is long dead. Now all that's left is unfortunate consequences of those who acted prior.

So if we're too focused on the wrong things, and we don't take responsibility for our own actions, why can't the natives take responsibility for what they have now and fix the societal problems they deal with?

Darin Bradshaw We ARE doing something about it.It's a long hard climb,but more of us are getting educated.More natives are realizing what we must do to keep our culture and our native languages.We are adapting.We are here to stay.Peace.

they're Mexicans

Mynx Mellon wow you're literally targeting a specific race just because they make more then you you are trash

Society needs to be aware of this!

They're ignorant for a fucking reasons. The only people who support the reservation system are ethnocentric Indians and PC liberal saps, ie the same kind of people who produce these videos. They want to talk about the reservation system enough to milk some crocodile tears, but not enough for people to actually understand.

They have been at perpetual war with each other and skinned people alive, but Christopher Columbus is evil, right? In fact, when Columbus came back, the natives killed the people in his mission, but Christopher Columbus is evil, right? That's what I thought.

+Dagr8est Penguin Cristobal Colon his real name, not Columbus, was a mass murderer who tortured Natives who wouldn't convert to Christianity. Natives did have SOME Wars, never all against every First Nation, and they didn't commit the same level of atrocities as Europeans Invaders did. Colon's people were actual criminals from Spain's dungeons which included rapists. Scum of society not unlike him considering many believe now that he was a mercenary. So yes, he was evil. Now shut the fuck up and talk shit elsewhere.

I'm just saying, Native Americans were bad, too. And why did you correct me on Christopher's name? It's his English name.

Dagr8est Penguin how were we bad explain??

Cristoforo Colombo wasn't English (He was italian, Cristobal is also wrong since that's in Spanish). But you wouldn't know that would you? Since you like him so much and follow his ideals you too must think that "Cristoforo? What kind of shitty name is that? No. That name is wrong. Your name now is Christopher." He deserves being stolen of his identity like he stole the identity of so many others, so please, do keep on calling him the wrong name.

+spankcakes just thinking the same thing

+spankcakes I thought that too.

I also thought that.

And Maori's in NZ. Although we probably had it a bit better, nowadays too.

codenatt The Australian goverment has finally admitted the wrong-doings to Aboriginals and courses about Aporiginals and their true history is apparently mandatory from thos year onwards and you can educate yourself to specialize in Aporiginal history/culture now. So close but at least now things have been done to try fix the past. Meanwhile Native Americans still suffer.

The Of ...I will dance till the rains come down and wash us clean and make us strong and new again! I will do a rain dance and with the feathers of a hawk and an eagle.

ArrogantAmerican333 why would they watch a video by prager university, they just spread misinformation 🙄

+LaVieEnRose I totally agree, I'm just glad we were required to be taught about aspects of Maori culture and history. As a country, we could have just as easily fell more into the side of colonization by whitewashing history much like they do in America. No doubt there's more we can learn but I feel like New Zealand has always been at the forefront of trying.

+Choice Lee Right! Crazy how different the direction of colonisation went in our country - let's face it, we are far more vocal about Tangata Whenua and even the Treaty that it's always a point of discussion regardless of your stance. This on the other hand is basically undermining the people of the land to the point they are out of sight!

Don't let these weasels fool you. The nature of reservation system inevitably produces poverty. Watch the video "American Indians Are Still Getting A Raw Deal." And the only people who will get offended if you say we should abolish the reservation system are ethnocentric Native Americans themselves and their politically correct liberal puppets. It is not oppression, they bring it on themselves.

You should learn about Australian aborigines

Ty for RU-vid....

I didn't tear up cuz I have a Heart of Stone but that's depressing they got a terrible deal

I think she's beautiful, not just because of her appearance but she speaks with passion.

She is Mexican American!!

She's a master at emotional manipulation. Natives Americans tend to be good at that for some reason. But this whole video is nothing but crocodile tears. Nobody support the reservations system except PC liberal saps and ethnocentrics Indians, ie the kind of people who make these videos.

Dennis M if you haven’t lived it just shut the hell up.

@@Dennis-nc3vw dude what the fuck is wrong with you?

+BlueMaroon|Sarah Goran Reservations are lots of lands that we're given to our people in hopes of making us happy but they were essentially camps in order to keep us in check. Reservations are pushing our youth to get educated and experience what the world has to offer them. Some return with degrees and try their hardest to change it for the better. But sadly like you said Alcohol and drugs play a big part in why they're in that state. Our youth think they have to follow in the in the footsteps of those before them and stay on the rez. Change will eventually come and it will be soon.

BlueMaroon|Sarah Goran I

BlueMaroon|Sarah Goran North America *is* the natives home think about giving a good chunk ( all of it ) back to them. government

Lee Francis lmao shutup you tugeye

Lee Francis kijeat

@Tonyi hope you know God told us to move west right

Spain lied and people died

@Tony well he did , looted brought natives from.the island to Europe and got sent to jail for that

That's all they did wen the come over made promises an never kept them . It's hard to trust people now because that's what they are taught or learned . Ignorancy is really bad

Conqueror gang rise up

shayaaa Well said! You need a chance and I do pray that you get it! I pray that you get the rights you deserve!

you suffer because neither chooses to do anything except cry and whine? Sure sure, real 'suffering'

pupper doge agree

+Derp Scout People who whine and know nothing of suffering? Pants in excitement* Republicans!!!!!!

pupper doge I'm Native American when I see homeless people outside there mostly natives smh... 😐

reservations are not pretty at all. If you're a teenager and live on the rez your education is lower then the public education and you have very little chance of scholarships. On the rez you're taught that you have very little hope to go to college and things like that. Some reservations are just now getting cable in Oklahoma, reservations are not pretty at all, you might call it whining or whatever but what else can we do? We're taught from such a young age that natives don't matter and that we're some kind of joke, And It's Sad.

Hello Tamara, how are you doing today; how’s everything going over there 👉 I hope your day went well Tamara?

true true

It should be taught in our schools. The truth needs to be told.

Lo sabe

cause the one who wins the war gets to write the history books

Mamie Gertrude it is. I know how it feels and grew up the Rez.

Cause its not. This is bullshit.

Spicybrownbean what ya mean spicy brown shit bean? I dont wanna hear this whiny assed shit. Im half black dude. Been hated by every race. I dont sit here and cry like some little bitch. And I sure as hell dont blame everyone in every race for what a few dumb asses did to me. Get over it. Grow up. If I misunderstood your comment I apologize. If you meant to insult me, fuck you and goodnight.

DooM Guy 83 😑 I hope we can stop with the disrespecting of each other. Not necessary. Please the both of you don't say anything more to each other.

treat them better than!

All these "Native American" videos are a brilliant exercise in emotional manipulation. Nobody supports reservations except PC liberal saps and ethnocentric Natives. This channel is full of crocodile tears.

Buzzfeed lmao

Bullshit. I've never heard anyone speak positively about reservations.

+J9 Shit lol

ermasing it happens all the time. It's 2017 and people mix races. I have 3/4 Native American, Lummi, Tlingit, and Colville. I am 1/4 white, but still ignorant people tell me what I am based on how I look.

Corsica BS

I am a Cherokee, and note that there are a lot of half brother and sisters, mixed families, cousins, that are relatives of the Native Americans. There are so few Native Americans that they can not find a Native American to marry that is their own age, and they end up married to white men, and so the family is mixed. I know, as there was no Cherokee's my own age to consider for marriage where I live.

I will also add the rant that I just wrote to @Rushfan329325, In this I can say truly, we are the only race that the government kept on a genealogy list, as they have not only our ancestors on a "registry," but also kept up with the names of the Cherokee's all down the line. There were 4 registries when they sent many to Oklahoma on the infamous "Trail Of Tears," and even those left here in east TN were on the registry lists. Our genealogy is on a government record, kept up with, as no other race or nationality has been, in order to track our whole race. We are the only race, or nationality, that the American government did not want to allow to become a real US citizen, and if one moves onto a reservation, they lose that citizenship, not paying in taxes, but also no benefits such as social security. After having paid in taxes all those years, if I moved onto a reservation, I would loose all benefits, and no longer be a citizen. They do not want us to be considered citizens, especially those on reservations, but they want to enforce their US laws onto them... Funny how that works. I could get started on an endless rant, and I will just save it, but note that we are the only race that the US government has still singled out to discriminate against.

fuck off dude, that doesnt give it the right to still do it. Your head is so far up your ass that you think just cause if you see someone discriminate that it should be fine to do the same thing? Log tf off

Spain: vamos hacer una sociedad juntos.

What’s sad is all the racist evil people in these comments. Gives me no hope

the sad thing is the language is dying :(

No shit everyone wanted to conquer new land back then they were weak so they lost their land that was a long time ago people were different than people today a human life wasn’t exactly worth much back then

thats sad

Sandy L why can't you leave? I'm sure you have some skills that are needed in other areas with more opportunity. You shouldn't be destined to just stay in one place. I hope your situation gets better.

+Katherine Jayne ☺️💖

Sandy L "Read"💪

no shit

You must not been revealed to the revelations of what the white man has done to all the darker people of the earth.

Yup Damn, peeps in america were evil, peeps now are still really evil, hopefully the internet can serve as a catalyst to shine light on the dark and banish it for good before more shit happens, course that will still be ages but I'm somewhat optimistic in 70 years in the future everything will be drastically better then it was before

REZ, is home!! b with ur own people. get away from the white man.😚😋😎

So do you support abolishing the reservation system or not?

All native americans should leave the reservations and assimilate into american society like in mexico most mexicans are mestizos they left their indiguos communities and become sucessful it would be a great place to retire on the rez

@@davidortega357 what you are advocating is a cultural genocide.

Im so glad no one disliked your comment.

Really? Are they locked away? Are they forced to drink alcohol? Are they forced to beat up their family? The bitter and resentful are the true evil persons. Since you are not allowed to criticise bad behavoiur. Time to destroy some narratives. Get over it. The world is for the living. Not for crying over a past they had not to live in.

What? When we have ever done that? If anything it's the other way around. We are constantly being talked down upon. It's so annoying. Every country has it issues, even with race, whether they admit it or not.

@@sw.7519 😅 i understand why you say that, but the fact of the matter is...NATIVE AMERICANS THROUGHOUT ALL OF THE AMERICAS(LATINOS TOO) ARE STILL SUFFERING TO THIS DAY DUE TO 500+ YEARS OF MENTAL, PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL & EMOTIONAL OPPRESSION. TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THE PRESENT. YOU MUST KNOW THE FACTS ABOUT THE PAST...SEEK TRUTH.

i knowww

Bruh wdym “gay”

Everyone's gay nowadays

@@ilovemynative5923 the guy was gay in the video

Yep its real, it shames out too.

It is honeslty one of the saddest things in the world. When I heard about the reservation in Canada where 10 kids in one week tried to commit suicide and 6 succeeded, I cried so hard.

maybe you should leave the reservation and actually become an American and stop hanging on to your dying culture that's holding yall back just like it held your ancestors back

@@TheDirtysouth276what are u referring to when u say their ancestors held themselves back? Are u referring to how they weren’t “technologically advanced” as euros? Cause I beg to differ. With euros in charge the world is dying. Our oceans are full of garbage, we’re breathing in pollution everyday, everyone’s doing hard labor yet living paycheck to paycheck etc

Cry about it

​@@TheDirtysouth276our culture is whats keeping our SPIRITS ALIVE. something you obviously have no knowledge of. It's obvious you probably don't believe in God nor can look into another perspective. How dare you to say such things. Ur mouth is unclean idk why ur trying to direct the lives of others you clearly need to direct ur own life!

​@@Alice-7777stay mad

+Emily Sanipass (ZombieBrideXD) Pine Ridge?

That's sad.

Russell Mean tried 2 stand up 4 U,U guys should do that.

Scott Peterson glad to see you whites keep pushing blood quantums and the casino shit is a myth in all honesty though there is a lot of corruption. Why don’t whites that are rich help other whites? Same question

America is home to many different people and cultures...

+That Thing You Think You See In The Dark I know... but look at this video: that say a lot of your rich culture but white Americans just don't care

@@saaamherrera It's more than that. Public schools off the reservation only teach US History from a European point of view. Native Americans are erased from our history and we are taught to leave Native Americans alone. That we are not allowed on the reservation and we shouldn't even try to get to know them. (because they have good reason to hate us) this divide was suppose to protect Native Americans but at the same time it has allowed them to become invisible to the rest of the US. It's a sad situation all around. I want to learn about Native American history in my US history class but that will never happen.

@@jerricho11 uh. A don't hate you personally, but I hate your country. 🤷🏻‍♀️

​@@saaamherrera I understand and I completely agree. We fucked up and continue to fuck up everything we touch. I am ashamed of my heritage. There is literally nothing in the history of my people that I am proud of. This isn't white guilt, it is fact. And I don't want or expect someone to say "it's ok" cause it's not. I have excepted this and I want the cycle of discrimination to end with me but that is just a pipe dream. White people are cruel, arrogant and hypocritical. Always have been and probably always will be. I'm just a small voice but I'm still sorry for all the pain we have caused. That said, thank you for separating me from my country. That you don't hate me but you do hate it. It is a distinction I don't feel I deserve tho. I have benefited from white privilege and it is at the expense of cultures like yours. If our roles were reversed, I really don't think I'd be-able to handle myself as well as you. I am angry at the actions and inaction's of my parents and grandparents, I am disgusted by the world that they built, but I have also been complacent and let it happen. and worst of all, I did it because I was ignorant and didn't notice anything was wrong. Even now I sit back and do nothing because I don't know how I could possibly help make things better. Sorry for the essay. I get really passionate about how unfair the world is.

That is incorrect, I am part Native American and I happen to care about them. They deserve more land and better conditions.
