1. you have no right to the treaty and you can be hung old man stop it now…i can say this because im a full blood lakota from wounded knee…i no the treaty and the stuff you speak old man

2. THANK YOU GRANDFATHER

3. I really want to get more in touch with my native roots, but there is not much out there. I wish I could go live it for awhile. With other natives that lived it and grew up knowing about our culture so they could pass it on to me and I to my children. The language, the traditions. 

4. Hello I was just about to watch your video and I was wondering if by chance you know the Lakota language? The reason I am asking is because I am Shawnee Indian. My grandfather just passed away, and when I was a baby he gave me the name Smiley, but the problem is none of my family members know how to say the name in Lakota and that is the language the name is given in! Do you think you could help me?

5. I think it great that its being shared. More people who know it the better. I hope it would never die out. I hope to one day go over to America and meet the Lakota people. Which hope they be okay with me being white girl as know few still angry of the past but don't blame them. Wish I could help in one way or another it I'm not rich either 🙁 take care all x

6. How do you say Medicine woman in Lakota?

7. land belongs to nobody but god. white man stole america jews stole palestine. alexander the great stole everything from greek to egypt. r.i.p geronimo

8. in all my 62 years out here in western Nebraska, and speaking to dozens of natives over my life
   only one
   every said it was the native American's fault as they were locked in the stone age for 10,000 years
   but if they would have moved forward, then those in Europe would have faced American natives pushing them out of
   their home lands. reverse history if you will.
   just as mother nature has no mercy for the weak, neither does any race on earth throughout history

9. I've been reading Red Bird's "Impressions of An Indian Childhood."
   she is strong and inspiring 🙂
   Thank you for sharing this video!

10. I think the Lakota Indian is hot

11. My mom never taught me how to speak Lakota

12. Tears are streaming down my cheeks because it hit my heart. I moved to the united states in 2012 and I've been asked many times how I got such good pronounciation. I always tell them that I sang every day and that is the truth. The classroom did not keep my focus, but music plus school helped me to where I am today. And of course, internet cause of all the typing and reading and chatting etc. I wish I knew Lakota fluently and I have always been carrying a little bit of shame of being born white after all the suffering white people has caused other people. I cry for the people that were here first, and what white man did to mother earth and the ecosystem. I have never understood how everyone else can look at a tree and touch a tree and see it as an item. I ask people "if the trees are not living beings – then how can they die?" and they never have an answer to that. It's very sad.

13. could somebody can expalin me how to use heart spirit for directions? If it posibble for me?

14. Thankyou for sharing this.
    Many blessings to you.

15. I love my name

16. Very interesting.

17. There is a lot I would like to say to the Native American Indians and in so many ways but it would take so long to do so. But I will say this I have some Christian Native American Indian songs on CD it is called broken walls I listen to them everyday and I sing along with the songs I don't no it this makes any sense but I believe that I have some what of d American Indian spirits that lives in my hart

18. And I would not change that for anything in d world like I told my family I am who I am and no changing that at all

19. And just to let y'all no I try to help d the Lakota boys and girls school as much as I can and they have sent me 2 certificate of applications and as soon as I can I will help as much as possible and as soon as possible

20. People forget we murdered each other and stole each others land for thousands of years before the White Man showed up. Maybe instead of being ashamed of being white, black, ect. we should be ashamed of being human.

21. i love it such a beautiful way of life. And the best part is when he says the white man needs too look in mirror n admit he is not of this land.

22. He worships nature and blames others for the downfall of his people.

23. arent the souix germanic abroignals. meaning germans that colnized north america.

24. Pilamaya for sharing this video..I have written words followed! <3

25. all natives know a lot of white people claim to be native but they are not. They only wish they were.

26. Next month, Jan 2016. I can begin sending something. I don't want my left hand knowing what my right hand does, but I'm thinking, if an old Lady on SSI can do a little, maybe others will find they can, too. I hope so. People are more valuable than gold.

27. American Indian language is beautiful and i wish more would speak it. As a wise man once said, "English is the language of deception". It is easy to lie in english. You cannot do this with this language because it is felt by more than one sense -spoke from the heart. About the invasion, I cry everytime i think about the mass geneside that happened to these people. As a member of the HUMAN RACE, i feel empathy for all life everywhere. Such a beautiful people…just to destroy for gold. Pretty pathetic if you ask me and also not recognized nearly enough. People freak about the Jewish Holocaust but almost nobody bats an eye about the mass killing of these people. Makes me sick. You know, i believe this is more than just a physical battle. THIS WAS AND STILL IS A SPITUAL BATTLE. These people were natural, of the Earth. They preserved much of their angelic side. They warshipped nature because nature is an organic part of the great spirit, an extention if you will. There is no difference in warshipping "God" in the christian sense(so long as youbare not aligning yourself with a false god as many do without knowing) and warshipping nature. The American Natives recognized spirit in people because they were very much awake. When they looked into your eyes, they wernt just looking at your face, they were looking at your soul. They could see and were empathic enough to feel your sickness – inner sickness. EUROPEAN SOCIETY WAS AND IS POISONED IN MIND-BODY-SPIRIT. They were invaded, if you will on a spiritual front and of course, not many knew. Not that the Native Americans were perfect, but they had much more fire, much more kundalini than westerners and therefore, they could "see". I love and respect the Native spirit. They have every right to be pissed off about what happened to them. A great trauma wad delt to them and it was like the people of the world gave them the cold shoulder. idk about you, but if somebody invaded and slaughted and burned 95% of your people, you would be pretty ticked off as well. With that being said, we as a race need healing. All peoples everywhere need healing. We need to unite as one, this is the only way we will ever find peace and banish the demons and corruption from this Earth. The biggest reason the native language was banned was because their language didnt contain nearly as many reversals and distortions. The sound you make impacts yourself on a spiritual/dna level and the things around you. Sound is very powerful. Their language didnt posion your mind-body-spirit system.

28. gotta love being Lakota 🙂

29. thank you for preeserving and sharing this beautiful part of your heritage,

30. nyata this is crazy horse speaking I come with in peace… I want to have a spiritual ritual done… one of your members of the Lakota tribe sent me here…. his name is white owl nickname….

31. Nice!!

32. Pilamaya

33. That is interesting about the heart spirit connecting to the head. I've always had a good sense of direction. I used to love and try to get lost to see if I could find my way back.

34. The native language is musical and beautiful.

35. To say that I'm not from this land because I'm white is a lie. Everyone has migrated at some point and no single place belongs to anyone. I'd probably be just as well off in a forest without any tools as any native.
