@@clawlor777 cultural differences are to be celebrated, but thats all that is..we are one, all of humanity, learn your history, the human history, the history of the earth, the solar system, the native american culture was more in tune with this than any other culture i know of. Sucks "civilized" society was welcomed in with open arms to then rob and kill the native culture

I live in Montana and one day we had a guest speaker at my high school. He was a Crow singer. I was happy when he started singing, but I looked around and realized that all of the other students were just pointing and laughing at him. It was, and still is so upsetting to me, because all of my native family members passed away and I never had the opportunity to learn about my culture. It really sucks, but now I can watch you videos and feel like I'm apart of something

It is these people who are truly the unfortunate ones, for they are blinded. There will always be something to learn from negative experiences if one can look and search deep enough.
I am a painter in montana. I'm white, but my heart is red. I grew up on the rez, and there is no prayer like the prayer of native american dancers, praying with their whole body an being. the definition of sweat blood and tears turned into beauty and love. God calls people like you, there is much love in what you do. And the world is waching, Go get them Bless you my friend.

I am a 57 yr old African American with Native American roots my great grandmother was full blooded Native American I'm not trying to join an say I'm one of you but if i am allowed i wish to walk with you towards the light i truly love your message an your music keep the faith stay 💪 be well one love ✌ an blessings little brother
Supaman, your positive message helped me through abuse, poverty, hunger. Then it helped me grow to succeed. Then it helped me grow compassion and forgiveness when it’s hard to do.
I have no idea if you will receive these comments so it’s up to the four winds to take them to you. I wanted to share a thought with you. My distant ancestors were tribal and my very recent ancestors were emigrants fleeing injustice and oppression. In coming to this country they were faced with prejudice and hate crimes. I have European ancestry ... you are dancing for us ALL. I am now an “elder” and thank you for what you are doing for the youth. Blessings ... Aho.

My grandson is native and his father is native. I've always loved native culture and the variety of tribes and each unique culture. I consider myself blessed to have native family members. I may not be native or Ojibway but I cherish my grandson's culture. I hope he seeks his history and culture and I will support him in every way I can. His tribe is dying.
Bro, I'm Arawakan Taino. I was raised Puerto Rican. I also used to be apart of the legendary Floor Lords Crew. Being a Bboy I never liked dancing for money or gimicks. I really related so much to the words and wisdom in this video. Thank you. Arawakan Tainos, Puerto Ricans were the originators of Break dancing. I know this because the Incredible Breakers are my family. Thank you brother for this video. My uncles were born in the Bronx and in the 70's and 60's and before the government did not offer help to the Blacks and Hispanics residing there. But with there ancient warrior spirits, they created Bboying aka Break dancing and Hip Hop. It became an outlet to cope with poverty and struggle. One love to all Indigenous and Aboriginal peoples. Same struggle, same spirit.

So beautiful and powerful! Me and my African ancestors honor you and your ancestors for their sacrifices and survival!
THANK YOU everytime I watch my native brothers and sisters in the circle dancing I feel the hurt and pain gone for that time of the dances and being there when prayers going on that pain hurt of loosing my little brothers i dont feel it so much and can see rays of sunshine again THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO DANCE
I know that our culture kept me away from all of the drugs and alcohol I loved dancing and going to our ceremonies.I used to attend the peyote meetings with my uncle and the sweat lodges . I left the reservation many years ago but I always stay in touch with my heritage and I always say that when this big crazy world becomes overwhelming I go a powwow somewhere and just being with my people and the drumming and the songs especially a good ok powwow song makes me ok again, our culture is definitely who we are and my experience is one of empowerment and pride of who we are as native people, I love who we are despite the bad I know the bad to but like you said when you understand the dynamics of the past then you can empathise and understand us as a people. You are a beautiful soul and I as many truly appreciate who you are, aho my brother!

Rap is a culture for struggle, pain, and rebellion. Natives and Black people unite in this.

This mans music has truly changed my life for the better! He's music seriously heals the soul!
As a non native I have the upmost respect and honor for your culture and ppl. The world would be so much better off if we lived in the old ways. I'm privileged enough to have native friends that I consider family and have been blessed to receive thief knowledge and love. I strive to walk a good path and have strong medicine. Thank you
I LOVE how you layer the traditional drum , flute and language with the hip hop beats. Keep up the magic, Supaman. We're listening. We HEAR you.
Thank you for your kindheartedness and altruism.
I saw Supaman at the Butte Festival this year, and now regularly listen to his "Illuminatives" album. I can't wait for more people to discover him. His compelling participatory live performance and style go way beyond hip hop and even music itself. Entertaining, inspiring, empowering, and yet, inclusive... This is the kind of emerging voice that the current music scene really needs to push forward! I often listen to "Itchick", and it's hard to describe the peace and inspiration this song brings to my mind. Good job on conveying his style in such a short format!

Your music is breaking down walls, and lifting up spirits, somewhere on this planet, every minute of every day. It has clearly grown your heart and your crafts. Big props for the hard work, and dedication to the arts, humanity, our planet, and your heritage. Someday maybe we will all be a nice shade of beige, and it will be a beautiful thing. You are like a fast-forward button, making it happen, and getting us there. Thank you. One people. One planet.
I am a super huge Supaman fan! Great respect for his journey! So happy he is a beautiful example to his and ALL people! Love that he is a true family man. His gift is from our Supreme Creator, and he shares it with all. Glad to hear of collaboration with Taboo, another fave. Can't wait!!

Great human message, wonderful regalia, amazing dancing. You have a gift!!! I'm not too impressed with choice of the rap/ hip hop genre because I feel it is not native created it belongs to another wonderful culture, the African and they also speak with their heart. I wish you would be more authentic when spreading message and use your native voice and calming chants to get message across. I'm sure the chanting in English would be unique and transparent. Our native language and character is not rough and street-like. Our native languages should sound harmonious and in tandem with nature. Hip hop and synthetic music is for other
Thank God that you have the gift of conveyance and use it to inspire love❣️😎
As à grandmother it does my heart good. Blessings for sharing beauty always shines with light
The music gives me the chills. How it just all goes blends. Not only is it powerful. It’s beautiful....

You know young Brother that I per say am not a Hip Hop/ Rap fan but you mix the 2 world's of young and old in a Good Way. 1 day you will be close enough for me to see your show. Shooting Stars travel past many places and you never know where or for how long you will be at any 1 place. You can plan but HE will change those plans if HE needs to. Sometimes you will not plan BUT then HE will put you there. No matter where you are just keep doing what it is YOU do Inspiring.

Great video. This video gives me hope for humanity. Love the straight-forward and positive energy.
I am learning to accept the strength of my ancestors after years of living in generational trauma. When I was growing up we were taught to fit in. That exposing my maternal Native ancestry, or that of my Italian immigrant father would make our lives harder. Now I call on the power of my ancestors to heal from trauma. Thank you for your words. I am very lucky to still have my mother to teach me and to have shed myself of the manufactured shame that kept me from being or knowing who I am. I embrace you.
Thank you for this!
Inner city African Americans gave us the art of rap\hiphop. Some people have have taken this art and ran through the gutter, to each his own. But this is what I an African American who grow up listening to dougie fresh, and KRS1 saw the art to platform to be used to provoke thought and social engagement on issues that we all face in this society. I appreciate this young man!
