In this second of three segments on the Native Hairstyles celebration at the Museum of Indian Arts and culture, a Hopi mother and daughter demonstrate and talk about the significance of the Hopi young girl's hairstyle.
I love that we not only got to see how it is done, but also learned about its background and meaning! Amazing and highly interesting, hopefully these cultural practices will continue to live on
Dan Hill cultures and traditions ARE nothing alike...but as people we share horrendous trauma that goes deep no outsider can understand. Tribes all over the “U.s” were and ARE allies to Black people..
We are so happy that so many people have enjoyed these hairstyle demonstrations, especially this Traditional Hopi one. We will not, however, tolerate hate speech of any kind on the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture's RU-vid channel. Anyone who engages in such behavior will be blocked and reported for hate speech to RU-vid immediately.
*Option!* Use Coconut Oil - it is great for the hair and washes out way easier. Fabulous Style - Very Attractive! You could benefit from another set of hands towards the end - You did Great!!!
I really enjoy these cultural demonstrations, especially of native American traditions. I just wish the camera was at an angle where we could see more of what was going on. Thank you for posting. I will look for more videos from your museum.
The indian hair is so beautifull,i use my black hair long n smooth because im so proud of my brazilian indian decendence,im so glad to has a true indian hair.
Alex Rodriguez you have a Spaniards surname. I’m sure they hurt your people too. They did hurt us in a physical way too. I’m from the tribes on the east coast. We got it the worst.
@@TashaXi Why assume he's not actually a Spaniard himself and just has a Spanish name? Not all people with Spanish names are Indigenous Indian, many are still European...
My stepmother was Hopi. We did not know until she passed away and we found her papers, a photo of her as a Squaw, and some of the things she took with her when she ran off from the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. Her name was Lily and she was a beautiful and kind person. Her hair was so thick, black and gorgeous!!
I got this segment first and will be watching the other two. -- What about hairstyles and traditions for Hopi men and boys? Very interesting stuff on how culture gets transmitted and saved through everyday living. And I love that we get to hear the mom / hairstylist commenting quietly aside to her daughter as she does her hair.
Im apache and aztec and 100% RED AMERICOID NATIVE AMERICAN AND JUST LIKE BOLVIA PERU MEXICO WE ARE MOSTLY NATIVE AMERICAN DEMOGRAPHIC NOWADAYS ITS AMAZING SEEING A HUGE COMEBACK FROM A CRAZY PAST I THINK ITS NIZHONI THING WE ARE STILL HERE CONTINUING OUR JOURNEY DEPSITE WHAT OUR ANCESTORS FACED WE ARE STILL HERE TO STAY PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE IS PROMISED
Would loved to have seen what the lady was doing. The photographer should have moved to not just have picture of her back. We needed to see what she was doing!
I love your channel, please have your camera person get better angles. So much is lost to the viewer. Please move the camera slowly while moving it. It gets zinging around and is really awful to look at. Bless all of you!🤗
I am Mexican and half my family is dark skinned. I believe that is because we are part native american. Our history has been deleted but our Spanish side has not. Through our dark skin i know we are Native American and that must be why i love magic mushrooms ceremonies.
It's like every generation our hair gets thinner. My mom's hair is thick and so is my dad's but not like their parents and grandparents and mine is thin
Hopi's are Mexicans from Mexico. If only ppl new their real history. Real Native tribes know but times are different and the real braves are gone. So everyone goes along with it especially the US govt. This is not hate speech this is stolen traditions.
No I feel like you only got that from the blue corn tamale that is the Navajo term used for better understanding the real word is somiviki you can only find the correlation by finding out who the mexicans descend from you would also have to explain the laguna and zuni.
I see that Mexico and Spanish are similar and branch somewhere in history meaning that they are descents from the spanish conquest of the Aztec and hopi is uto Aztec found by the language therefore Hopi aren't Mexican.
Such lovely hairstyles. The creator of the universe loves you and the Messiah Yeshua Hamashiach Jesus Christ. Our beloved Yah adores you and died for sins rose again after 3 days to give you life more abundantly. Lean more into Yahweh many blessings in Yeshua's name
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:8-18
Your sister and niece are two beautiful and lovely women and I could listen to your sister talk about y'all's Hopi heritage all day long.. Thank you for sharing...
Menstruation is so stigmatized in white Western culture, it's too bad there isn't a tradition like this to celebrate when a girl reaches puberty rather than treat it like something embarrassing or shameful.
@Night but is the "quarantine" for spiritual reasons (to become one with the mother spirit of Earth) or is it a different reason? I've watched some other tribes and their puberty rituals, one is a special hut made just for spiritual reasons and nobody is allowed inside unless they're from that tribe. When the sun starts to rise the young lady will then run towards the sun.
In my tribe (Navajo) we celebrate female puberty that lasts a week. Its a family and extended family effort. All for that delicious blue/yellow corn cake baked over night in the ground about 5 feet wide in circumference.
Thank you for an inside look at the sovereign Hopi in Arizona. The squash-blossom hairstyle is beautiful with the very black hair making the style even more striking.
I love the Indian culture ....I wish they were treated better, our government are the traders and the liars,killers and thieves.and I hope that the lives of all these tribes can become strong again.
It is awesome you love it! But please do not use the word Indian. As we are Native American or Indigenous. Colombus thought he was in India, when he arrived in America so a lot of people still confuse that word.
I’m thankful for the respect you’ve shown for us. We’ve had great troubles between our peoples and some still hold great anger. But I believe all people should stand together and let the past be the past. So thank you
I went to grade school in Phoenix with Hopi and Navajo kids and they could really dance when they demonstrated the hoop dance at school assembly with full feathers. I forget the actual name for that dance but I couldn't believe kids my own age could dance like that.
You are beautiful im 100% native american like most bolivians who are not blanco like most mainland mexico and central america peru bolvia is 100% red american indigenous never was blancoid more like rojoid americoid native american lol man they try too hard nowadays
Hi Native American friends of North America! ... Greetings from the Native Americans of South America. I am from Bolivia, greetings to all. 👋👌✋👋 ¡Hola, amigos nativos americanos de Norteamérica! ... Saludos de los nativos americanos de América del Sur. Soy de Bolivia, saludos a todos. 👋☺👋😁🌞🌙
I love learning about the culture of our forefathers The gov. took thier land and culture away, even thier Great Spirit .There is so much for me to learn
Hi Brother's & Sister's 👋 I'm Hualapai/Havasupai from my dad's side & Western Shoshone/Goshute from my mom's side. Love & Light to ALL Creation of The MULTIVERSE #🖤💎🌈 #NewEarth2020🌎👑💟✨🌈 #RaiseYourVibration #DoloresCannon
I love listen about the *Native* *American* *Heritage* and their *Culture!* I could listen to this lovely lady talking about her Hopi Heritage all day long... Thank you for sharing with us...
I was thinking the same thing! Padme has a style based on this when she and Anakin reunite in Revenge of the Sith close to the beginning, which is ironic considering she's a married woman about to have twins. :)
I remember reading that the Star Wars creator George Lucas said that the revolution-era women of Mexico (also known as soldaderas) inspired Princess Leia's hairstyle. 🇲🇽💯
I'm part native my grandfather is pretty dark so I'd say I'm at least around a quarter. We don't talk much but he always said we are Cherokee. I've always taken anything I can learn to heart since I don't see him often and my mother isn't very into our culture. So I appreciate these videos very much even tho I am not Hopi myself. I've learned a bit from my fiance tho who is also Cherokee and his family is very close to the culture as well. Anyway long story short, thank you!
I have 3 tribes in me. I appear white and have an English/German name. I met a Shawnee man who explained to me that I should never say that I am only part Native American. The American government didn't just kill as many of the first people as possible, they also made laws saying that native people couldn't own land, couldn't keep their children, couldn't speak their language. So if you have ancestors who were of the first people you should claim it proudly and learn about their culture in order for to not let them extinguish the first people. This moved me so deeply. While there is nothing wrong with embracing your other heritage, you should embrace all of your heritage. May we all be one.
70 WolfNippleChips , Native American folks are so smart and resourceful, who lived off their beautiful land. My heart aches for the trauma you have experienced, which in so many ways still persists. May God keep you safe & bless you all. ❤️🙏🙏🙏
My grandmother was native although i dont know the tribe/s (she was adopted as a kid but she did met her parents when shes older and now shes kinda dead)
From experience, this is not necessarily true, but it helps. My skin and hair are naturally pretty oily, so washing my hair often is a must. You do, however, need to be careful about what you use. Watch out for alcohol of any type listed as one of the first few ingredients, and let it dry naturally when possible. Hair dryers are murder on hair. Wash it in the evening if you have to, and your morning shower is shorter - yay! =).
I soooo admire how the Native people kept there culture alive despite ALL they were put through. Language, customs,oral history etc. I wish I could say the same. There is only so much I can pass on.
I am so happy that native traditions are being passed on. Unfortunately my grandfather would not let his children's follow his mother's traditions as a Cherokee.
Excellent video! ☺ I too have noticed that Natives have thinner hair than it was long ago. I think it's because the diet is not traditional anymore. Interesting that she commented on the change in hair thickness.
My hair is down to the lowest part of my back now. I'm going to let it keep growing. Two years ago, the day after Xmas, I cut it almost up to my shoulders. Within a week, I hated it. Luckily, it grows fast. I've only trimmed it a few times to even the ends. Love to see how they do these traditional styles.
I was privileged to visit second Mesa or I bought a cottonwood Tewa girl carved by a young lady still have it still love it still wish I was on second Mesa
Thank you for sharing this with us! And for sharing such a wonderful history of the hairstyles. I had no idea different hairstyles signified different life stages. Such lovely ceremony for each chapter of life. 💚
I love my native American Indian people,so much we are so special,unique and creative,I'm a native American chick that's mixed,and I'm so proud of my people.i wouldn't do this look on me, lol lol but everyone is different but she's right though back then and sometimes now they didn't ever cut there hair that's way some native Indian women had and have hair down to there hips,knees,calf,ankle and sometimes to the floor.our power,wisdom,beauty and strength is in our hair even in my native American family the boys and men have long hair to,but not aslong as the women.love ❤ you Hopi brothers and sisters.Indian power.
I stumbled upon this channel, and now I'm stuck! Oh, I'm totally enjoying learning all about your culture! Blessings to you all, and thank you for sharing this rich knowledge with the world. Watching this young lady sit patiently getting her hair done reminded me of sitting for my mother in the morning, while she put two french braids in my long hair. She pulled very tightly, also. But, those braids didn't come down all day!
