Grandma dropping the truth bombs today. A lot of people don't realize that the 1860's was like yesterday, and all the trauma from everything that was going down under colonization is still fresh. My great great grandmother was fighting the colonial govt in Mexico in the 1890's as a teenager. This continent will return to the stewardship of her native people sooner rather than later. Thanks for the stories!

Although I’m native, I was put into system at a young age. I stumbled on your channel just yesterday. From 6mo. to age 6yrs. I was mostly raised by my grandfather. So much of what you have said brought him to life again for me. I have yearned my whole life to find my roots. To learn our ways. Thank you. Because now I have found my mentor. Thank you.

I can assure you, there are many listening to you. You are touching many lives and you are a blessing to us all. Thank You so much for sharing your wisdom.

We need to learn more about this in schools it's American history

The miracle of this generation is that this truth can be spoken and it becomes instantly accessible to the world. This changes minds. Bless you for speaking the truth.

Just finished a book called The Chisholm trail is spoke very truthfully to the plight of the American native tribes in the Cherokee strip. I was ashamed and mourned for what was done to these people all in the name of God, country and progress. The white man has his religions as well as the native tribes, but the creator of them both gave us all Jesus his only unique son as the way to eternal life.

Grandma, dont stop your self from becoming emotional talking truth, you were feeling your ancestors. That proved what you were telling us: that we are never alone. Thank you for loving us, especially those of us you know are disenfranchised from our tribes. <3

Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned wisdom. I fear that the world is doomed without grandmas like you.

That brought tears to my eyes. I was lucky to have two wonderful grandparents that were always there for me when I needed them. But they're both gone now but not forgotten. I left a reservation 30 plus years ago to better myself not knowing that one day I'll have a family of my own. I look forward going back home to see my family every chance I get.. I'm really blessed in life.. thank you for telling about how they struggle and overcame 👍🏾👌🏾

Dear Grandma I love you and love what you teaching I also love what you said about your grandfather Bless God for you . Thank you 💞

Mahalo Navajo Grandma. When Hawaii Statehood was announced my Hawaiian father wept, he said it would never be the same, and it's true. Our culture barely exists, very few speak Hawaiian. The locals cannot afford the rent or to buy a home and when we do, it's far from town in the middle of nowhere, slummy or dangerous (like where I live). I feel very blessed to have what I have. I love how you try to stay positive and I know there are events and stories you could speak of, to educate us, remind us, so we can all say the same prayer and hold a strong vision for us all. I feel like I've made a new sistah here! You can see me here on youtube, I played congas with Marvin Gaye Montreaux 1980, enjoy!

We need more grandma's like this.

It is such a delightful thing just to have a dollar store. I don't care if people tease me about not having the latest style. I grew up in the housing projects sometimes we did not have hot water, but we had water. In 1990 I spent one month in Mexico City with relatives. They tried to tell me before I left that when I come back I will realize that I'm not poor. I understand now. Thanks for your wisdom.

I was raised by a family where I was taught the best thing to do for the Native Americans was to bring them into our homes and let them go to our schools and teach them our ways. My parents became foster parents for native youth and we had native foster siblings! I watched them cry because they missed their families and their homes.

Many blessing Grandma, I see now that the strength of the Diné people was their ability to see blessings in everything, to be grateful for what they had, to find a way to use everything and the strength of a community that cared for each other. I admire you and your people soooo much! In these modern times it is shameful how ungrateful people are. Thank you for sharing!! 🥰🙏🏻❤

I've made smudge sticks from the juniper. Nice! As an Ojibwe from Michigan, I learned long ago the ways if the forest, herbs and grasses to eat or for medicine. Now a couple years here in White Mountains, there are very new plants to learn about, some for foods and some as medicines.

Thankyou and thankful for the weavers

My mother was not native from this country but she felt it was very important that we knew the history and the truth about native people. My best friends were from the South Dakota reservation and I was taught so much that I didn’t learn from my mother. But combined learning taught me so much. My friends Steve and his sister were so close it didn’t surprise me that they died three days apart. Steve went back to live on the reservation for some time and we kept in touch. This is how I learned that his tribe and my mothers people had so much in common. I get so angry when I hear people speak negatively about native people. You may laugh but my favorite native person as a child was Geronimo. I really like that he was stubborn and refused to live like the white man wanted him to live. He was a beautiful person and I loved his pride. To this day he is one of my favorite still. I want to do a wall in my house dedicated to all the native chiefs by collecting their photos and filling the wall from top to bottom. You have much to be thankful for. You had great heritage and many wonderful chiefs and story tellers and medicine men and woman and a line of prideful people to be thankful for. I watch another channel all the time and he is a hoop dancer and he has such a beautiful bubbly personality and I hope that many native people stop the drinking and drugs and see what this one kid has so much pride as a dancer and they all work so hard and practice all the time. I want to see more native people love themselves and walk away from the alcohol and drugs and show the world they won’t fall into the white mans diseases and show how they won’t drink and do drugs and do what your doing by having pride in yourself.

HalleluYah! This is what will save us in the end. Abba is bringing us into the wilderness. We need to learn what we can from those who have been here all this time. I am with you my sister. We are not alone! Our Mighty YHWH will save us by His mighty Right Hand our Messiah Yeshua! One day I will sit with you and eat corn mush and ash. 🙏

grandma I wish I could meet you, your awesome!!!!
