Lyla June you always inspire me with your elegant delivery of words that need to be spoken. Thank you! Standing with you in bringing LOVE to this hurting world.
I was born in 1959 and given up for adoption. I was adopted at 6 months old. My mom and Aunt used to talk about me as though I was not there. Mom would say that I am 1/4 Apache and 75% Irish. My Aunt said that I am 1/2 Irish and 1/2 Apache. I have been told that I am dirty and ignorant. And more. You always have such a beautiful message to share. Thank you. I love all people. It's not my job to hate.
In tears of joy and gratitude. Beautifully put Lyla. Aho Mitakwasin, Miigwich
Thank you Lyla, I love you, keep speaking truth, please
Lyla go on healing this violent burning world! We have to find a better way than violence.
This is an excellent interrogation into the distortions that were erroneously uplifted as "civilization" while also demeaning and forcing down human spiritual connections with the very essence of Life. Unsustainable separateness, divisiveness and competitiveness replaced sustainable unified, harmonious cooperation. We are now struggling in a time when it is becoming far more obvious that we cannot continue on our current path in Life, and that we must quickly renew our spiritual interconnections and interdependence before we bring about our own demise. Thank you, Lyla June, from a friend in Ely, Minnesota.
What an inspiration to us all in the quest to decolonize and stand for the freedom and liberation of all people's and in turn the cultivation of the deepest reverence and respect for this beautiful earth. Aho! So Be It!
As a descendant of the Celtic and Germanic tribes trying to remember what only lives in a museum now, thank you for shining a light on how we fell to Roman Law first. x
yes ma'am💯🙏💞🌎💪
Proud of my "savage" ancestry and being.
Wisdom is a virtue, you Lyla are truly virtuous, thank you, I've learned so much from you, I have been so blind. As having myself Taiño roots, when you sang in Spanish it made me cry, thank you for remembering my ancestors as well.
....."amazing we have these things to see whats in the sky....yet cant see whats going on in front of us"....(not word for word)****powerful statements. Truth deivered genuinely, loving and passionate ❤
Crazy cuz i always gave civilization the my own deffinition. To conquer i guess in my head same as governed or controlled
Not used to seeing the "Dr." before your name! Congratulations, and I am so deeply grateful for your teachings!
I love this speach..Aho! I am Taino arawak nation...Daka
Greetings and Yá'át'ééh. As a billlagáana partly descended from the savages of Scots and Irish descent, I especially appreciate the way you articulate the binary thinking and harm perpetuated on indigenous forest people around the globe across time -- not just on Turtle Island in the last few hundred years. This is a powerful and effective way to unify the majority of us who are harmed by this invention called "civilization", and invite us to envision -- and embody -- a new way forward that feeds not just our bodies, but our minds and spirits.

Good song! Melody and rhyme in the lines.
Thank you! This talk gives me hope.
History shows that the collapse of every great civilization always brings the people back to the Creator. It is civilizations only positive benefit.
Wonderful talk..thank you..🙏🏻

Claro que si somos los mismos de norte a sur todo el continente somos nativos americano gracias por reconoser a los hermanos del sur
The woven in deep internal impact of our idology stearing instutions and there presepts ,, the examples burryed within (Jeremiah 17:9) The things we do not talk about. but we really should,,
I would recommend reading Nutrition & Physical Degeneration by Price Weston for the link between the modern western diet and ill health and dental problems. Physical and mental healing starts with the traditional diet and a move away from processed and manufactured food.
Makes me reconsider what does civilization mean?.

It means governed or controlled Brother.
Can someone tell me the name of the hill tribe in Thailand she mentioned? I searched "gazingon" but couldn't find it.
Tachiini clan is "red mark on the forehead"
Mis ancestros me envian los mensajes que nesecito para seguir en mi camino que es el suyo.

If I can make a gruesome, yet humorously-intended comment, there a Tales From The Crypt episode, with the theme of, and maybe title, "Quit while you're a head."
I am sorry you were shown a Christianity that knows nothing inclusive of earthy/Native culture. Yes, songs pull us together. Good. Thank you
Good introduction of your tribal self. Your introduction is the same as maori pepeha ,where we introduce our mountains, our rivers ,our tribe and our family. we do this to show who we are and our connections or our reconnection to the land ,,,,your talk is inspiring and inciteful as well as being true ,however, there was one thing missing,,,, because of the deceit,betrayal, and greed of the civilised christian men that the connections to the land of the indigenous people have been deemed not human and uncivilised ,, yet no other people on earth are full of hatred,money grabbing greed and betrayal as the white man ,,,and when they can acknowledge that then the world will heal,,,we can not accept that any people of any land deserve that type of negativity and rejection of culture,,,,,,,,,,, so long has the support of white christian superiority that it has been ingrained in white people that, it has become the only narrative that makes sense, so all other cultures needed to be saved by christianity ,but in reality all those ancient cultures some who out dated the christian way of life by 40,000years of pre European history ,that you would of thought shit these guys been around a long time maybe we can learn domething new ,,,,but no.,,,,,, they were deemed savages which in my estimation is a blight on white society ,,,own your wrongs of the past ,own the errors made by your forefathers ,,,then earths healing can begin
This talk by a Navajo woman, who has a university doctorate, is about Empires and so-called "civilization". Does the doctorate make her civilized? She has a point about the ironically barbaric enforcement of "civilization" on indigenous people, and so-called "culture". I'm not sure she's entirely right, though. "Peace", among the many disparate tribal designations was not as simple as she makes out. Among the different indigenous people there is, in any case, a "civis", or a "polis", as there was among the Ancient Greeks, or Babylonians, and probably way back into unrecorded history. There is always some sort of structure and, unfortunately, a hierarchy, organising society and relationships. There are also accepted morals, sometimes enforced by Laws. If we watch, as I do, birds in my garden, even the blackbirds are "at war" with each other. Other animals are the same, and we humans are "animals". Amitav Ghosh, in The Nutmeg's Curse, outlines wars between indigenous "tribes" in the islands of the China Seas. Something both bound the tribes together, or alienated "people of the forest". We can't simply blame the Dutch, or British empires. She also mentions "the Romans". It needs to be said, that the Romans themselves were "Pagans". Religions both bind and alienate, and Christianity has often been a cause for wars, despite its suppised message of Peace! We humans choose to associate with other humans, according to some commonality that we perceive in others. Maybe nowadays language binds us, or defines us. But in the past it may simply have simply been geography, or more simply, proximity and family?
The definition needs a total rewrite or to be thrown out altogether.
Born ,.. into it ' we mesh with the magpie's ( origin is Australia , they are worldwide) look search and find,.. ' road kill" ( 🦌 deer) return to your yard for the celebration of life and death ,.. ⌚ let time pass for the flesh to be removed then boil the bones and return death to creations,.. deer bone carving's for family and friends ⭕ living in the blood , look into the tribal ( pick one ) archive's notice in the single pictures of older membership the deer bone carving's on them ( touching them ) ,... ? Found a stone nose carving on another Rez upside down,.. magpie's were drinking water from the nose ,... See you

are you referring to the orange goblin trump, since what she is saying is spot on with regards to integrity, reverence, devotion and big-heartedness? In fact our civilization is killing us through it’s consumerist agenda by marginalizing us with it’s lack of a bold vision of our magnificence❤️🔥🦅🌍
I am not 1st Nations by blood perhaps... but I wish you could lead Turtle 🐢 Island 🏝️ and let me show you natural remedies eg Lower blood sugars 55% to 65% in just 2 weeks (Not Cannabis sativa L. even), also prevents and heals Cervical , Bladder and Colon cancers. APOPTOSIS is the medical term slays cancers COMPLETELY... Yet we at CANNABINOID -Neuro INSTITUTE can reverse obesity, reverse type ll diabetes , Chrons disease epilepsy with just hemp.
