Don’t forget a place like Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump is two hours south of Calgary, and a days event to take it all in properly, do the walk down to where the camps where, and it’s a while to do the museum as well… that is one day just there alone

IF you pull up a map its in the most west Provence B.C. Outside of Lillooet up the Bridge River to the Yallakom river I owned the entire Yallakom river watershed. The boundary's went along the tops of the mountains Some of The natives I became good friends Were great people full of pride and honour

    Scientists now think that the ancestors of First Nations people may have come to North America from several different parts of Asia and Polynesia, following several different routes. Some may have come on woven reed rafts, or boats, across the Pacific from Asia and various islands thousand years ago. Many of these people came from the ancient country of Ophir (modern-day Philippines), the birthplace of the human race. It is said to be the Isles of so many Islands which King Solomon described in the Bible where he told his navies to transport for a 3-year journey from Israel to Ophir vice versa Gold, Silver, Peacocks, Apes and Algum Trees (Narra). The Lost Garden of Eden has vanished after The Great Flood (Noah) somewhere in the Sulu sea along Palawan Islands. This is the center of the Marine Biodiversity in the whole world. Kudos to the First Nation of Canada.

I think it's important to keep the language and their way of life thriving for the sake of our future.

    This is great, guys. It must have been a great honour to get such an intimate view into Blackfoot culture. I wish the Canadian government would do more to protect the cultural fundamentals of First Nations groups, particularly First Nations languages. Often, it is only the older generations who are fluent. Because of residential schools (which existed until the late 90s, unbelievably) many Aboriginal children were forbidden to speak their language, and therefore could not pass it on to their children. Younger members are losing a piece of their identity by being unable to speak the language. When the languages die, a huge piece of the culture dies with it. So devastating.

    @@denepride2910 It is very difficult to assign rights and privileges to a group based on ancestry for a variety of reasons. The first nations themselves don't even consider blood to be relevant as it is in their culture that it is possible to be adopted into their tribe. This makes the basis very subjective. They will say we want to decide for ourselves, but them who becomes this "we". What about the people that get banned? What makes the western heritage so amazing is that rights and privileges are not based on ethnicity or acceptance of the community. As a Canadian you have individual rights regardless of ethnicity how you identity yourself or our others want to recognize you. For this reason the problem of First Nations self government, treaty rights can never be solved. We make do with putting limits on hunting and fishing rights rights by limiting their impact on the environment. There is actually no reason to believe they themselves ever thought that these were rights in that sense. Even if Europeans has never discovered the Americas there is no reason to think that if populations had increased that access to limiting resources would not have been solved though war and conquest. In fact where the First Nations were more heavily populated this was often the case. I am very sympathetic to any people's desire to hang on to their culture for nostalgic reasons whether they are European or otherwise. I would never ridicule of things scared, these things give meaning and purpose to life. I just wish that this is also extended to other cultures and practices such as Christianity as this is often not the case in popular media.

I am amazed at how their lives went, how they migrated so far from their homes, My Grandfather on my dad's side is French. They came her back in the 1600's. That is how my great-grandfather came to be with his bride, my great-grandmother who was French, he was Blackfoot.. What I want to know, how do I go and find out more.. I was not informed of these facts but thur family I learned some. But not enough to fill my curious mind for thirst of knowledge. I do want to know more. My grandmother was very dark, I mean dark.. She did not look as if she had any caucasion in her. I am just lost, I need help to guide me more.

    Indigenous people come in all colors, shades, sizes, and features. There were some Indigenous people of America that had dark skin and kinky hair, and some had dark skin and straight hair. Some had wide noses and others had high cheekbones. A lot of the so called "African Americans of today, are really descendants of indigenous people of this lady right along side those who are recognized as Natives today. The sad thing is that America has tried to wipe away that history and say that everyone that looks a certain way must be from Africa but that is simply not true and many however not all of the modern day recognized Natives have decided to disregard their original beliefs and side with the American government in not recognizing indigenous "blacks" of lost tribes. Your grandmother is most likely the remnant of such tribes and people which is a beautiful thing.

    I'm sorry to have to see the many racists indian haters comment! I suspect therefore they do not like the indigenous people of such people because if they see them they remember how they got the continent and how much sin they committed during. It's uncomfortable for them to be angry with the indigenous people's sight. Sorry for my bad english.

    I'm from Europe, I have nothing to do with Native American culture, but everytime I read or hear the story of the land of America, I'm crying. I deeply wish in the fond of my heart all your cultures will survive to human cruelty because you are the best part of humanity. I don't even know if I can say that as a white person following the culture in which I grow up, but I'm mixed-race in my blood and, a child of earth in my heart.... So, maybe I can tell that you inspire me to be that humble when I meet someone who wants to destroy the person I am because I believe in Mother Earth and telling myself : No, I'm not crazy. I wish to be a great warrior like you are all. Best regards from where I am PS : Sorry for my bad english too x')

    I love adore and respect Native American history. I love this video don't get me wrong, but there are way too many self shots if that makes sense. Like I don't want to look at your faces with the background I want to see the background. It just gets really distracting and it makes it seem like it is about you not the people you are trying to show us.

    I’m on a video binge. I’m the only child in my family that looks drastically different compared to my siblings and cousins. I used to think I was adopted because I was called “asian” due to the way my eyes are shaped (like slits with beady eyeballs). After my Grandma passed away, we found photos of her grandparents. My Great Great Grandfather was Blackfoot and he married my Cherokee Great Great Grandmother. I have my GG Grandfathers eyes and thick black hair. My siblings have blonde and light brown hair and look more like my European/Mediterranean/Scandinavian side of the family. As I’ve grown though, we have noticed similarities in each other, but as a kid my skin was tan and my siblings were pale. Crazy how genetics works. Even though I may look it, I don’t feel like it’s right for me to call myself Native American considering that it’s been a few generations and I’m not a direct descendant, but it would be cool to know if I have cousins out there. I should probably get a DNA test done though considering how uncanny my resemblance is. Fun Fact: We found a family photo of GG Grandfather and Mother smoking a pipe full of Hash. I have to find it, but I’m pretty sure it was dated at around 1907-11.
