Villagers React To Awesome Pow Wow Nevada Native American Dancing ! Tribal People React To Pow Wow 

Being Indian (as in, Asian, and not Native American) I have to state that us Indians have a deep respect and appreciation of the Native American culture. It resonates with us deeply on a spiritual level and although this was also the first pow wow that I’ve ever seen, I have to state that the beating of those drums stirred my soul and I could feel the energy and the powerful intent. Irrespective of our languages and cultures, what binds us together is spirit. Love and light ❤️🌟

I agree with all of this. Thank you, relatives from across the water. Than you relatives from every where

Lost our lives but met in the eye. ❤️

Right!! He could fit right in at one of the drums.. love him

@@ashveerramsunder4656 We are all relatives, and you're absolutely right. The spirit is what brings us together. Love and respect from North America to you.

Hoop dancing is AMAZING to watch!

👍🏽👍🏽

AGREED! Oh, and Inuit throat singing!

Thank you for the suggestion. That was amazing to watch!

That would be a good reaction video

Babu is a global treasure.

He has such a beautiful heart. And I love watching him jam out!

@@alyshaharper8730 I would invite them to my party! I'd ask Mr Babu to bring his drum.

Damn right. I bet he has some amazing life stories.

Babu is awesome. I don’t say this to be rude, because maybe he doesn’t want it; but the money they’re making on this channel, they should get our boys teeth fixed. It would be great if he could get down in the “try” videos and really enjoy all the different textures. It’d be up there with when they watched the video of the colorblind people with the glasses.

Evidence is here and there. In Northern California where I grew up , I saw almost nil except a few little museums, but in Southern California there were pow wow, get togethers all over.

Hell no. You all are way too strong to fade away. You've proven time and again that you will fight for yourselves. Your resilience as a people is unsurpassed. None of you should have gone and continue to go through what you have, but watching advances and wins in the Federal courts is encouraging. You have my deepest respect.

🫡🐉🤺🤣😂 Neither is it, India

For elders to call a younger generation lost they need to take responsibility for selfish and poor leadership.

And many fight for recognition and are constantly denied, so the number is much more than that. Plus all the tribes from the arctic north of Alaska and Canada all the way down to Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina/Chile area in South America. So many interesting cultures.

Thank you for that info.

@@ggstatertots The Lumbee people along the South Carolina / North Carolina have been fighting for recognition a long time.

@@victorwaddell6530 Same here for the Ohlone in the San Francisco Bay where I live. It disgusts me how the Ohlone shell mounds (pretty much gathering areas with merchants, rituals, burials, homes, and trading all took place) are covered in things like Burger King parking lots and chain businesses. The Native Americans are barely given anything for what was taken from them.

@@ggstatertots My great grandmother was full blood Seminole and Eastern Band Cherokee . The Eastern Band Cherokee evaded the Trail of Tears , but get little recognition compared to the Cherokee in Oklahoma. Tsalagi !

Hitcha ! Awesome that you know the story ♥️

@@qrowanthony6636 It was explained at a pow wow that I attended. Since, grass dancers have always been my favorite.

A'ho

@@jamesmabe1350 😊

I learned something new today.

The Hawaiian family I live next door to always use Auntie and Uncle for just about anyone that's older than your generation.

It's common in every Asian culture from far east to middle east

Same in African-American and African diaspora cultures too. Auntie or Uncle only, no first names.

North West coast of BC we do here too

I heard from a person in Turkey that native americans and their culture are very popular there. They said some believe native americans are part of the Lost Tribes of Israel. There are some Hebrew words and rituals that are similar to Hawaiian words like the word Mana.

Hey thanks for sharing :) I'll have to check the channel out!

Ow! Thanks! I'll go check it out!!

Well I'm gonna go check it out for sure. I got to go to Alaska when I was a teenager, I loved it up there. Well more Yukon but we did pop into Alaska

@Karen a I will check it out as well.

Thanks for sharing the channel!

Definitely! It was so good but they missed out on so many drum styles and singing styles and dance as well. Northern style, midwest drum groups and singing as well (Kiowa, Kanza, Ponca, Osage etc). Songs with backup Lady Singers. Gourd songs, Bird songs, hand drums, coastal Nations styles, smoke dance, Alaskan styles and more.

It's interesting I just discovered recently that there is a very close relationship between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the tribal peoples of India and China... For instance the tribal peoples of Eastern India resemble many features of of several Native American tribes...

@@pownbnull i mean, you have to go through india to get from africa to the alaskan land bridge, and that's how we all got here. even the tribes down in south america. there might have been some polynesian mingling down there, though.

@@KahwahShutseh 👍🏽and the shakers!!

I hope they show them different native american cultures! There's so many and they were so enthusiastic about this it'd be a joy for them and us.

Are 'Ojibwe' and 'Ojibway' different spellings for the same tribe? And in the same vein, is 'Chippewa' and 'Ojibwe' different spellings for the same tribe? You can sort of see how 'Ojibwe' could morph into 'Chippewa'.

@@GoWestYoungMan Yes. Just different spellings. "Chippewa" is a variation mostly used in the USA. FYI, we refer to ourselves as 'Anishinaabe' though in our own language.

​@@GoWestYoungMan You have to remember: either way of spelling it is a colonial (mis)interpretation of the name in the first place. Which means no way of spelling it is correct! I'm of mixed Irish/Odawa ethnicity, from Canada (sort of cousins to the Ojibwe as we are both Anishinaabe). A nation which gives its name to the capital city of Canada- Ottawa. Funny thing is, the Odawa weren't even from the Ottawa valley. They just traded there. They originally come from Manitoulin Island, in Lake Huron (the largest island in a freshwater lake on Earth- which itself has many lakes, and islands within those lakes!). The name is supposedly a mistranslation on the part of colonials. Odawa was *what* they were doing (trading), not *who* they were. Suffice it to say, the name stuck: Not only for the city, but the valley, and the people who were encountered there by Europeans.

Shame they only showed the dancing, there is so much more to a Pow Wow... like none of the food at all was shown. I grew up on Washo land in Nevada, the Pow Wow's were amazing. Utterly love fry bread, my wife makes it for me on occasion.

You’re Navajo? I hope to learn the Navajo language someday

I too with the footage was better, and more representative. I wonder who the people are who are "Giving them the videos to watch."

😂 You guys are liars is what you are the fact that you have to say Navajo let us know that you’re just making this up. Real Navajo don’t need to say.

Yes, America hate's it's elderly and treats them as a nuisance instead of with respect.

@@MrClobbertime The U.S. government is very contemptuous of its elder citizens and punishes them without mercy, and encourages the young to feel the same way. It's no wonder that there is no respect or concern.

Yes it's sad.

Babu sang it very well!

It was interesting to me that he called the elders “uncle”…it was on-point without him knowing it.

Anybody else noticed the sound goes off (3:38) when the music starts. Or is it just me?

@@brysonbrown3761 yeah I experienced that too..

That is very common around the world except most of Europe: uncle and aunt is used in the whole arabic world and in south east of asia for instance. I'm in Italy, and when I was a child I called aunt a woman who rented us a house for summer holidays.

And I must say, your Haka touches something in my soul whenever I see one performed. Our cultures are truly connected somehow!

@@prollins6443 Our history, ideologies, values etc are so similar, it's uncanny. It definitely feels like we're connected somehow. 🤗

It's interesting I just discovered recently that there is a very close relationship between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the tribal peoples of India and China... For instance the tribal peoples of Eastern India resemble many features of of several Native American tribes...

I love Moari people, they come to our indigenous conferences here in USA

@@tinadraper9143 I've watched several of those on RU-vid, but nothing would compare to being there in person. The energy and wairua (spirit/soul) would be off the charts!!!

I worked for a Punjabi family for almost 20 years, I can assure you they revere their elders.

and .... Babu did give them an impromptu song of war (red stick), loss of life, etc., at the end of the clip ... to remind the boys of their loss of land *relatable .... oh yes, they'll surely benefit from having him around (very smart)

All three are good men. The kind of men I hope I've raised my sons to be.

It is part of their culture, respectful of shall we call them the knowledgeable ones. The indigenous people of this country also have respect for their Aunties and Uncles, Grandmother's and Grandfather. It wouldn't hurt people to treat their old ones more like they are treated in"tribal communities".

It doesn’t seem like it’s similar to the way my grandparents were raised where there is a fear of the elders and it’s more of a true affection

if I was a girl in his village I’d be interested. he seems like he has a very kind heart.

Ikr? So well-mannered.

Yeah, he has a sweet spirit ..he's a doll!

He's such a cutie too!

He is ALWAYS deferential to his elders....and cute as can be. He'll be a great catch for some girl.

Yup. Patterns are everywhere in nature. If only we could focus on what unites us and our shared similarities rather than our differences, society would be a much better place.

yes even similar philosophies and political or religious ideas spring up in completely unrelated parts of the world. Same too with architectural or artistic works etc. There is more shared blood between people of all races, cultures and ethnicities than what most people think. We’re all here for the human experience

The Native Americans came from Asia - India is Sub-Asian.

I got here for searching for the video of NDN and Indians dancing together. They used the same footwork just different music.

In France we love the native americans since the first encounter we had We wish your people would get more political power in all america

I have experienced this but never heard it put into words. Thank you!

My brother was a member of the Arapaho people. His funeral, held in a Gothic-revival Catholic church known for its acoustics, began with drums and vocalizations. There was a moment when the musicians felt their voices not dissipate (as they do outdoors) but come back to them, supported by the building, and responded. It was otherworldly. It felt like the ancestors' voices had joined it. You described it perfectly. I had to pause just now to wipe away my tears.

Thank you...I have always experienced it as being transported back in time, voices calling to me...it makes so much sense to say the heartbeat of our ancestors, strengthening our souls.

I liked that comment as well.

I truly believe every word you say. I feel the meaning and the strong intention behind the song and each vocal that is sung. It isn’t just a vocalisation, it’s an expression of intention - and I feel it. It’s very powerful… Please keep sharing your culture. And more importantly, please do not dilute it but pass it down bravely as your ancestors did to your generation. This is such an awe-inspiring heritage ❤️

Ya te he

Sad thing is there is soooooo much more to a pow wow they could have shown. They are outright events, not just dancing (though thats a major part of it)

@@dalehammers4425 I thought they were just dances. Ceremonies are different and they are not to be filmed like Yei bicheii.

@@allenc6665 I'm mainly talking about the food and such lol.

@@dalehammers4425 I think they fed them Navajo tacos in a different video.

A'ho A'ho

@@bambam9375 I Appreciate It,, But Nothing To Thank Me For Brother.🙏

As someone of Indian descent (that is, Asian and not Native American), I have to tell you how deeply Indian people resonate with the Native American culture. We are all one in Spirit - we just have different expressions of worship and culture but the essence is the same. We don’t just have a fascination with your culture, we feel a kinship and we recognise worship of Spirit when we see it❤️ I have to say… Watching these dances and songs of the Native American people truly stirs something deep within the soul. Please please please keep your culture alive ❤️

@@happymethehappyone8300 May God bless you immensely. My deepest respect to you always. Do wonderful things with your life

@@ineverreplyback I live next to a park with a pow-wow circle right outside my living room window, there's a pow-wow session every now and then, sometimes they have a fire going in the middle of the circle, it's pretty cool.

The Metis are very handsome people.

@@karmelicanke Metis means halfbreed, it's a polite way of saying mutt. we're part Native and part European, my mom was full blood Cree, Assiniboine Plains and Blackfoot, my dad's side is Welsh/Irish and some Dutch.

@@ll7868 Thanks for sharing your history. I have a beautiful sister-in-law whose mother is of the Peigan , Piikani Nation of Alberta, part of the Blackfoot Confederacy.

@@karmelicanke She could be a cousin a few times removed, that's where my mom's dad is from. I never met him, he died when my mom was still a teenager. My mom and her mom were born and raised on the Carry The Kettle Reservation in Saskatchewan, it's Nakota, part of the Sioux Nation but often referred to as Assiniboine or Stoney Cree.

This Indigenous person says no comparison period! When God created this earth and after the disobedience we were scattered all over the Earth!

well culturally they are will be similarities.. tribes used to migrate a lot millennia ago before they settled down and I am sure there are some shared root cultures.. specially when it comes to old animist or ancestor related religious practices etc

@@nexusofboredom Not only that, but we all have human bodies and there is a finite number of comfortable dance positions we can get ourselves into. Jumping? Universal. Stepping in rhythm? Universal. Clapping? Hopping? Kicking?

@@nexusofboredom not really. There are common elements to traditional music in different cultures that may be tied to the way the human mind developed (think, a lullaby anywhere sounds like a lullaby), but native American cultures aren't anymore related to Indian culture than they are to European cultures. Native Americans do not share any close cultural connections with any group. If it were possible to pick up a cultural connection, genetics would point you to looking at East Asian and Siberian populations. Native Americans migrated to North America tens of thousands of years before Indian culture or even the predecessors to Indian culture existed. Which is saying something considering how old the roots of Indian culture are. Remember you're talking about Paleolithic migrations. They separated from the rest of the world so long ago that their stone spearhead technology was developed separately from the rest of the world. They migrated into the Americas so long ago, that there isn't even a common identifiable ancestor between all of the native American languages, or enough information to tell if there ever was a common ancestor, like a proto-american language, much less any cultural connections that can be drawn back to Asia. They developed their own culture independent from the rest of the world.

Convergent evolution maybe

I'm from the navajo tribe.

Tell them about the irish and native americans historical alliance\friendships.

@@monster5629 true btw I'm indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳

Code talkers! Yes!

I wonder how they'd react to knowing that native Americans are called "Indians".

Raeen hides his observability, we've heard him perfectly replicate pitch better than any of the 3 men despite the fact he probably has little to 0 experience

@@Tocinos I agree Babhu is a drummer, but he also sings, Raeen is a very good singer and has a good voice.

Let's get a part 2 and give them some southern style songs old powerful songs I have a great playlist mixed between Millard Clark ,redstone ,wild band of Comanches , thunderhill , and a few others.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight and knowledge. I’m a 4th generation Indian in South Africa and Indian people (in general) have a very deep appreciation of the Native American culture by default. I think it’s largely due to the fact that we are groomed in a spiritual way, so matters of spirituality (regardless of culture) is always deeply revered by us because we can “sense” the intention and the energy. You have a very rich culture. Please continue passing it down and sharing it with as much people as you possibly can. Love and light ❤️🌟

They still are in Poland 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly my thought!

I thought the same.

@@ClaudiaKoniki They still are in Michigan. Tribal members don't want to be referred to as American, unless they need to for some dem politician and money. Otherwise, they are the Chippewa Indians.

@@nebbindog6126 They could just say natives without the American part.

Yes, I agree. That is one of the most endearing qualities of this trio.

i went to that in like the late 70's i was little i still remember the ladies in the dance circle & the storyteller tent

Tecumseh!

Here, in Montana, there are not reenactments, but enactments, unless you see the players at "The Battle of Little Big Horn" reenactment. May this be explained, in a good way. Pow-Wows are Native Peoples cultural events, many tribes get together, but the term, "Pow-Wow", should not be used for just any "get together", or gathering. It's Native voice. It is a continuation of ways, and has its roots in the sacred traditions, prayers, and harmonious movement with our relatives (The Creator, and our natural relatives on this branch of creation). These are done, with purpose attached to each dance, and song. For instance, "Jingle Dress Dance" came from a vision, and is to bring healing. Movements may come, from one scaring away snakes. Some dance to make a clearing, are "Grass Dances" There are sidestep dances, fancy dances, traditional dances, advanced age dances, young children (tiny-tots) dances, even couples dances, to hold a fruit, together, by the neck, without hands (promoting teamwork). The feathers of the Eagle, are sacred. Various patterns of beadwork and dress hold special meaning for the wearer, and each tribe has its own distinctive style. I have seen gourd dances, as well as chicken dances, and bear dances. I am aware of hoop dances, but haven't seen them in person. There are competition dances (with judges), and noncompetitive dances, inter-tribal (everyone can dance). There is a Grand Entry, to begin, with ceremony, and honor of Elders, Leaders, Warriors (Veterans), and descending age groups follow in a continuous unified clockwise spiral. Giveaways, and gratitudes, continue the energy, and love that flows, from those that were helped, to those who met a need, or needs. It could be as short as a few hours, and as long as, multiple days, for a Pow-Wow. Some, follow these "festivals" on a circuit of towns, and universities during Pow-Wow season (fair weather months), and earn prize money from dances, or various periphery businesses (beaded jewelry, arts, clothing, food, children's amusement rides), and gifts.

I live about an hour and a half from there. I will have to check it out. I have heard of it but something is ALWAYS going on then.

Been there...know some of the families who participate

Where was this?

There was a powwow performance under the space needle few years back that I attended and it was MAGICAL. A few little kids kept breaking free from their mothers arms to run out and dance 💜

That's why rave parties were so poupular not so long ago : even if you weren't on drugs, the repetitive music brings you to a trance, especially if you re dancing too.

Depending on what teepee you enter... you may very well be on a drug. Peyote is still used to this day.

@@dalehammers4425 all Natives didnt live in teepees and if peyote was used it's for ceremonies or a sweat lodge. Not a PowWow or festival. It's a private thing

My grandmother has a home in the Taos Pueblo, it would be awesome if they got to see the kind of dances and events they have there.

I live in New Mexico state. I am happy to live here!

@@dylanstandingalone im taos pueblo.....but havent been there except for powwow and feast for years Maybe they would see powwow footage but no way anything else since video or recording not permitted

Its called Jingle dress.

@@GataLoca13 Thank you for the information. I appreciate getting new knowledge 🙂

What makes you think they need help? You can always help ppl closer to you they are fine.

@@joweydelanota7421 They always mention being poor.

You'd be better off donating to a well known charity that undergoes regular audits and provides full reporting on the amount of donated money that actually goes to the people who need it, than to send a lot of money to a few people on RU-vid. Much less likelihood of abuse, and you end up helping many more people. *Doctors without Borders*, for example, is doing amazing things in India and around the world. Your money would literally save lives.

@@joweydelanota7421 The fact that they live in a country where the average person makes $216 US Dollars a month? Or perhaps the numerous videos of them reacting to American amenities (that even people well below the poverty line posess) as kingly or princelike? Your dollar goes a helluva lot further helping people in under-developed countries bruh. *82 percent of rural Indian homes do not have running water. 60% of URBAN HOMES do not have running water.*

Theres an option to donate to the villagers welfare on the channel's patreon :) I don't think they are accepting gifts because of issues with customs

I think everywhere with large native populations not near reservations do, they have them all over here in Michigan. Tiny little towns down south to the u.p.

You are from Ebarb? Holy crap.. I live in Logansport! But I lived in Zwolle for a few years. I go to the pow wow in ebarb every year!
