    As an Indonesian Muslim, I feel proud that Native Americans accept Islamic teachings. Historically, Native American tribes had previously embraced Islamic teachings (the Cherokee). They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish conquistadors. Native American tribes have known monotheism. And know God. If asked who is your Lord??... The answer is Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds and all the blessings He has bestowed. There is no god but Him (Allah). And Allah says in the Qur'an Surah Thaha: 14 'Verily I am Allah, there is no god but Me, so worship Me and pray to remember Me.

    @@cloudyskies2729 yes he know. The reason why there are a lot of black people claim that their half Indian is because some of the native Americans are slave owners and when it comes to the slaves (black people) they tend to breed with them and there’s terms to describe biracial blacks at the time of slavery words like Sambo, mulatto etc etc. so it would make sense when it comes to the time of their near extinction due to tribalism. Which that’s the sad part of reality 😔

    I am glad that Chief Moon Wolf has taken the time, in order to do these lessons. Although, I am a part of the Western band of Cherokee's, I have noticed, that Chief Moon Wolf makes it easier for me, to follow along, to learn how to speak the pre- removal dialect. Which, I would agree is smoother to speak, as I see Chief Moon Wolf's point, that the Western dialect comes across to me as choppy! I also find that many of the presentation can be different to follow along with! Again, I like the fact that there is a version of Cherokee language dialect, I can listen to, and work at learning to speak! Moreover, it has always been something, that I truly wanted to do, since I was a child, and even though, I wouldn't say by any means a master, however, I at least feel like I can follow along, and speak it as well as I am able too! With no disrespect to those trying to teach the Western band version, of the Cherokee language, this version is less complicated to me, in which, I can wrap my mind around learning to speak a language, that is a part of my heritage as a Cherokee citizen! S'gi Cheif Moon Wolf!

    Oh jeez!, Once immigrants came to this country they all just wanted so badly to fit in that they willingly gave up their heritages and didn't teach the children the old ways. Nor did they want their own to exhibit the old ways because in this country because back then if you didn't fit in you were ostracized. What a screwed up mess this country still is. I love seeing the differences and the similarities between cultures. The Native Americans use a drum that is so similar to the Bodhran but get totally different music from it. It's awesome. Native Americans, Irish, and African Americans frequently intermarried because they were all treated like garbage by the WASPS so they all hung together. The Chinese were treated like dirt too. It was the Irish from the East Coast and the Chinese from the West Coast that build American's railroads.

My family is from Murphy, Cherokee County, North Carolina. I was born in Los Angeles California and grew up there and Oregon from the fifth grade on. we found many obsidian indian arrowheads on our property. I wasn't thinking of learning to speek Cherokee but after seeing how easy you make it to sound and how I found I was able to replicate the intricate vocal inflections of the language I felt interested in pursuing it. your a good teacher.

    Wow this is incredible. I've studied phonetics & that sound you make at 2:46 (Tli) is actually what's called "lateral s" ie, the air flows off the sides of your tongue instead of out through the middle. The way you can make this sound (sort of) is to get ready to make the sound "l" (like at the beginning of the word "like") but do it without making a sound. A "silent" or whispered "l". That's the lateral s. The word "Tli" sounds like it begins with that sound, except it has a little more of a "t" sound at the beginning. Thank you so much for posting this!

    OK read some very critical comments Here. Found them disrespectful and quite shameful. The Native American Languages were stolen and outlawed by the white man. Many Natives were robbed of their heritage and so much more. It is a Miricale that some have survived and passed down the language. For that I am beyond greatful . Some say tomato some say tomatoe some say pattatoe. some say potato. The important thing is to keep the language alive. As in the war code talkers were the secret to winning WWII. It will again someday be needed. To critize any Native American who is offering to help on his own free time at no charge is to be of the highest regard and respected even more so as a Chief. Please do not critize this great Native American Man. In a prior comment I stated I would not comment further until I could do so in Native tounge. Meant that with all my heart. Yet can not stand by and say nothing as you critize my ancestor's off spring. Even though I never met or know him personally. So please just be glad he is helping those of us who's ancestors has lost the language and now so many of us seek for the greater good of us all. Thank You, Sundancer10021956@yahoo.com

    The Thunderbolt Tsikamagi Nation never signed a treaty with the feds and is originally from Kentucky, TN, GA and AL. It is comprised of a diverse background of other tribes. It is similar to the Florida Seminole tribe which never signed a treaty with the feds. and is comprise of other tribes, so don't disrespect someone whose history you have not researched. Plus, snubbing other tribal nations because the feds do not recognize them is letting them cont. to control your life based on their laws and here I am speaking with other Native Americans.

    Hell's a poppin Photographs say a lot. If a person looks black, they're black. If they look Native American, you can bet they're Native American. Names too: like having "Tizah-neh" for a middle name. And if all the descendants from so-and-so have insisted that they're Shawnee, for a couple hundred years, you can bet they are. My husband has ancestors who are Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek and Catawba. Some cousins are on Creek, Catawba and Cherokee rolls, but my husband's direct line did not. I've been trying to track down my husband's Native American ancestors for a long time and finally found a bunch this past year. I have Native American blood through my dad and (supposedly) some through my mom. A cousin has the records, but I don't know which cousin, so I feel like I don't have the right to say that I have Lakota blood (which is what has been handed down). In short, my husband and I don't want government benefits. I just want to pass on all our family stories and heritage. I want to help preserve our ancestors' languages so they are not lost.

    Is it true that the Cherokee language makes no distinction between "wolf" and "coyote"? I've seen both rendered as "Wa-ya". If so, that's perfectly consistent with recent genomic studies, which demonstrate that the two animals are basically just subspecies of the same species.

Yesterday, I got to go to my first pow wow and was totally amazed at the love and reverence for all past ancestors and it’s culture but amazed that through everything that has been done to them they pay homage to this country and it’s veterans. I danced for the first time and was made to feel loved and respected in song and dance. What a wonderful feeling it was. My only wish was that I had native ancestry or by some stroke of luck I was adopted into their family. My heart led me to speak on this and show my respect..thank you!!

In Guatemala I've seen blue eyes amongst the native population who are much less mixed than here. Here, native peoples mixed mostly with northern europeans while there (Guate) they mixed mostly with southern europeans. The difference is vast as are the numbers of blue eyed southerners from the US who have native bloodlines. Lots of Scots-Irish-English-German-Native-African mixes here. It's really not farfetched or mythical at all and quite common.

And would have been a source for the blue eyes and green eyes that were found amongst the many of the native tribes in the southeastern United States when the white man started coming here in greater numbers after Columbus. Please study history before you run your damn mouth. Sorry to be so abrupt but stupid people piss me off. Let me piss you off just a little bit more. They've actually in the last 5 or 6 years found Hebrew DNA markers in the Algonquin speaking native Americans. Which also includes the Cherokee.

    I am coming as a medium between hatred and kindness, meaning I want to stay neutral as much as possible. People should be allowed to teach a language, even if he isn't federally recognized. Many Native American Languages were lost and replaced by an Englishman's Native American Language. Even if he isn't actually a chief or affiliated with a tribe, if he can teach someone his style of speaking the language, he is doing his part by trying. People like you shouldn't draw a line in the mud and say it is unacceptable, you should be helping him. If he messes up, oh well. Since you're such an expert, help him through corrections. You're statement "He is not a chief and he is not pronouncing or educating people of the Cherokee language" is nothing more than words of a coward. I've grown up in an American family, with English as my only language for years only being sided by French, I've learned that there is no singular form of a constructed language. In English, people speak with there emotions to give meaning to a sentence. Languages adapt and change, even if they are the "original" language. The way a person speaks in their native tongue affects how they learn a new language. In doing so, they have constructed their own language. Thus making every language false. Now, you can debate me about this but unless you make the change to teach, sit down and shut up. Every language has a core, and as long as the core is the principle built off of, it is correct.

I very much respect the Native Americans culture and ties in to my morals and spiritual beliefs as well.
