Hello to all. My name is Emily. I've wondered my whole life who and where my family came from. I know that I'm native. But have no idea of the tribes. I've been told that I'm part this and that. And am still searching to find who I am. Watching this documentary gave me more strength to continue. It is one of the very honest and wonderful I've ever seen. Thank you. With love and honor, Emily.

For more information about your culture go and look up your native American groups that are not involved in the casinos they’re usually listed on the Internet federal registered reservations

I have the upmost respect and compassion for the Native American People. Thank You for the personal look inside your culture. God Bless!!!

Always good to hear other peoples historic experiences in traditional culture.

The Assiniboine People helped me when I was on the black road after my father had crossed over unexpectedly. I was invited into the last two rounds of a lodge that was going on in Frazer after Cross Country practice two of my students took me to their grandparents house where they were having a purification ceremony and I was asked repeatedly to join in and pray with them. When I was walking back to the teacherage where I lived I heard “You’re home now”. I’ve not looked back to that old way of living. That was September of 1984. Since I have sundanced and dedicated 25 years of dancing in SD MT and MB Canada as well as singing since 1991 for that way of life. This way brought me home to my Taíno People and now I am learning my Taíno ceremony ways language and culture. Nothing but gratitude to The Assiniboine RedBottom Clan People! Pidamayedo Hahom Bomotum! Mitakuye Oyasin!

I always loved the American Indians even so I am medditeranian but I am a star soul they are the earth guardians and I love your race and I Thankyou for your precious heart and frequency upon mother earth.

Thank you for this high quality video. A beautiful portrayal of the heart of the Assiniboine. Thank you, again.

It is very important to preserve your traditions. Thanks for posting.

Commenting to add my thanks for this beautifully shot, highly informative documentary on the Assiniboine people. There's so much misinformation on native peoples being perpetuated in books and online and in other media, so I greatly appreciate finding direct sources such as this.

Thank you for for sharing an amazing documentary! Wisdom heard brings chills to my body. Too many wandering spirits do not know they are not living. As I learn of my Norse ways, the dead is not to be feared and everyone’s traditional songs help the Unseen make the final journey. Those who wander in Midgard are not always lost but Hel’s Realm of the Dead is thirsty. The Halls of Valor is where the Warrior Spirit lives forever!

Thank you. I learn more every day 🌈 stay strong. You culture is so wise.

This documentary was informative and beautiful.....thank you for sharing

I'm Assiniboine and Sioux. I'm 17 about to be 18. My parents are from the fort peck tribes. My dad is Assiniboine and my mom is a Sioux. I was born and raised in Spokane Wa. I want to know more about my ancestors. Last time I was there was for my grandmas funeral, at Blue Sky Ministries. I want to move back and learn my language and the ways of my people. I feel ashamed not knowing anything about my people. I'm an Archdale.

The Native Nation has been called by GrandFather to help on the earth and strengthen the nations. All colors and peoples. He sent me back from my death to tell of his love for all his people and the role of the Native Nation is greatly needed. He is with you always.

Your film is a beautiful representation of your family's history on Turtle Island. Wishing your community strength, peace of mind and heart for generations to come ❤ Nie:wen gowa!!

I felt a wave of sadness running through whilst watching this beautiful film..

This documentary resonated deep within my heart. This summer, I returned to my relations on the Rez, and I will never forget how I felt when my Uncle hugged me and said, “Welcome Home”. Later that night, watching the fireworks, my Auntie came up to me and said the same thing, welcome home. Of all of the conversations I had with my family members and friends this summer, those words will never be forgotten. My Grandmother would tell me that a liar was worse than a thief. Her words still ring true and in my memories. It is the same of what the man said while explaining how words are more powerful than actions. This was a beautifully done documentary and very respectful. Chii miigwetch! (Thank you very much), sister, Ma’iingankwe

WOW... that is such an amazing documentary... it touched my heart... Thank you so much for uploading it !!!

I love the old ways. I love the fact I am going home soon.

Thank you. I have always admired the native culture. I have Cherokee in my background.

Beautiful documentary. Thank you for sharing ✊

Thank you so much for sharing this Documentary and showing the reality of what has happened to these lovely Native American people who are now in a situation not of their own making. But the White Immigrants from Europe who exercised Genocide on all Native Tribes and peoples treating them all as one when it fact they are varied and individually interesting and fascinating. I am so glad they are surviving and trying to hold onto what they can and their Spirituality is intact and their Culture is still alive although in a different form. The language is still active and I pray it increases and not diminishes. I pray for God to have Mercy and Compassion on them and pour Blessings upon them because he has not forgotten them. They are his Creation and He loves them and encourages their Survival. They are so strong I admire them. Thank you for making this Documentary. Bless you all.

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson understood, people are a part of nature. Many have lost their way.

iT;S SO IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES AND CULTURE:i LOVE AND APPRECIATE THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES LET US LEARN LET US LISTEN

Thank you for posting. Very interesting and greatly enjoyed. I do love learning about other cultures, especially when those doing the talking are those doing the living. Kind regards Robert.

How we all lived is not the same as we lived back in the day.

I love this video!!!!! I really needed to hear this!!!!! My heart has always felt something was missing in me!!!! I am Mayan Indian from my daddy.... But I was raised in Los Angeles.... I now know what I am missing. My Indian traditions.... My mother is white. So I have been walking this life as a hallow shell!!!!! I need to move where you are and live to learn our Native traditions... I am fifty years old but I love how my heart yearns for them!!

Long ago my Dad told me and my brothers that we are from the BLACKFEET TRIBE! I feel it in my soul. Mother Earth...my church too! Thank you

loved it! thank you for telling our stories.

awesome documentary thank u for sharing.

fascinating. hope you can preserve your language and unique ways.

I am by no means a liberal. But it breaks my heart to what we have not done to this country, but the to true stewards of this hemisphere. I only pray, there will be restoration and healing to the original tribes. Even a Christian God can see our wrongs.

RUNNING GAIT True Archdale is traveling the Red Road like a free spirit. In the video footage clips of her running while wearing moccasins, she runs with forefront strike, not heel strike or midfoot strike, thereby eliminating shock waves that travel up the skeleton to the top of the body every time the foot collides with the ground.

Please share this with whoever you like!

Though I was raised in Oklahoma the Land of the Red-man I’ve always been drawn to the Black Hills. I’ve always had a kindred sprit with the Northern Plains Indians like the Lakota and Cheyanne. Why remains unknown. My warrior name is Wild Horse, or man who’s horse is wild.

Great documentary! Thank You

I wanted to thank your BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. ever sins i be born i have been lost it the world, no one didn't know what to do with me, i have be through hell even now. but every time i see you beautiful people i find some peace in side my self. your presence and wisdom is what has kept me sane. and your music give me the feeling of home, as best as i understand be course i never had a real home to begin with. in short, i'm thankful to share a word with such spirit full people. much love, strength and may the wind lift your spirit's far above the problems your facing now. freedom 4 ever to all Greetings from the netherlands

An interesting perspective of life. 'We live in this World and then we move on to the Spiritual World'

Maravilhoso! ! Meu respeito e admiração! ! ❤

Great video thank you for sharing God bless much love.

Beautiful, wistful, unique look at this stoic and proud community. Thank you.

My 4th Great grandfather was Joseph Lambert he was a interpreter, and had a business alone the river cutting wood for the steam ships. He was well liked by the Assiniboine. When his family was attacked and killed 6 miles south of Wolf Point by Major Miles Crow Scouts. It was the Assiniboine that rallied to find his killers. His son survived but limped for the rest of his life.

Thank you all for making this video. I have a blue eyed husky named Teeko Tanka. My understanding is that Teeko is Athabascan for GREAT SPIRIT or GUIDING SPIRIT and Tanka is Lakota for WOLF. I think of this Siberian Husky as a sort of guarding angel. My father is almost 97 years old and still making music. I love the thought that everyone has to fine tune their own song to hear all the other songs out there. Been working at a kids camp for years. The bears are very active around here now. Peace, out.

very interesting. my mom was born and raised in Wolf Point Montana.

Love these relatives

That's why I go back to the rez, too. I wish I could afford to live there full-time.

Beautiful video. Beautiful island💞

Beloved Relatives had to PAUSE, the moment the words of The Knowing! To the emotions of someone coming and makes it back to you, This Is Heaven on Earth, Going BACK to Listen More... 🤗PAUSE the Thought of Each Soul Having Their OWN SONG, was why I turned on utube, was that at 55 my OLAWAN has been dormant and not yet been complete.. A mix of life's experiences with OTHERS, and uncler by the way feeling of sadness and not being able to fit in... So I will Go BACK and LISTEN again 🤗Wow so Tunning was the last of the message and all of the sudden the whole neighborhood was loud with leaf blowers angry news about lost this video didn't want to mix the two oh my 🌟, Come and Learn How to Revive Life, PAUSE for a little till quiet for Appreciate the Song To Come..Wait.. The Students that many passing away? Should be an Emotional Support Teacher /Auntie but I don't have much education still have the call to comfort the little ones and their families, for free 😊, Dream of a school where the curriculum is based on Experiencializim, a Renewal of Fun and Outside The Building and the Safety of Knowing No Matter how much is Expected by laws a New Way to Save Lives vs Building an Empire. Ugh 💰 to take care of your life needs and to have enough to share with your new friend at school. I'm a little nauseous by the numbers! I cry why ever day just don't understand why god forbid we address this issue for what it is, the moment is when a vision will be there for the opportunity to come forward, and pray it is not with a deceased school age Child, the fact that threats or acts of violence is a threat, Let's See Answered Prayers! Hmm so 2 of my Children have declared that they are not interested in any other way to live now , far from family foundational values 😢Awwa Shumanitu Wanji Sad to hear your words today

Very well done.

My name is Three Stones, but they call me Taylor in my christian name and in their writings of me, but I am a clan of the Bear, in heart and soul and you cannot change that of me in the words you offer! Holy is the way, but I am not of the holy in my heart as to many tears have fallen for my people!

Thank you for this video about Wolf Point I had a very good friend of mine from there I was into 1 01 st airborne in Vietnam with Daryl Birdsbill camp eagle I'm on fb

I am crushed that America helps other countries but not it's own native people. Water is as huge a problem for the Navaho people also. Israel though a tiny country with great water problems who have become expert in water use and re-use. Is there some way we can help? How could this be done? Israel has helped many people all over the world getting clean water(those countries may not have the problem of mines that have polluted their waters), agriculture and solar energy without destroying the surrounding land. The Palestinians have turned down help from Israel but have not turned down their water. This is not saying the native peoples are wrong at all. It is saying that a native people could help another native people- no matter how far away. I am not rich at all. I am not a politician. But I am willing to help in whatever way I can. May we all have peace soon!

righteous n good- America needs to blend in with the "people" i see a great multitude of America that love nature yet their is no thinkers we need to take care of our garden i believe we have the know how to bring back the buffalo in great multitude and many many others in a very short time the NRA green peace and many others including the first people can unite if only we can unite and reap the wonderful beautiful bounty that can and must be not only for our nation but for our creator

It’s good learning other languages

Speaking of teachers, try being an Australian born native American. I do my best to learn about my culture but learning my cultural tongue proves to be difficult.

That is my cousin name Also lol were from the northwest port Angels WA lower elwha klallam nation Thunderbird people . Shes part sue I think its soix or something like that

Hopefully I will come in the spring, I'm hunting the fall and part of winter, I have no people, my native mother is gone now, my relatives do not know who they come from, they are lost. Bullets are not as effective as being unrecognized, with no people.

Eu quando criança assistia muitos filmes de far oeste. " Far west movies ". E sempre fui complacente com os índios Americanos . Não li muito sobre esses povos que na minha opinião foram grandes Seres Hananos e não tiver respeito com eles, ninguém. Foram tratados como animais... muoro melbores do que muitos brancos daquela epoca. Por isso que tenho um grande apreço por esses Seres Humanos.

We are a people if you would only carry no shame in us being a people!

Further more, every area is supposed to have a red road, best because of the grass path

Yo soy nativa nada más que no se que tribu correspondo. Porque mantienen la religión? Si los nativos no tenían religión. Porque nuestros pueblos o tribus están sucios? Lo que yo e mirado es que nuestra gente se debería de juntar y mantener las áreas limpias.

Keep the "faith"(history). No ONE knows the "TRUTH", or they might not repeat the previous failures.

IF YOU FAST AN ENTER THE SPIRIT WORLD, WHEN YOU RETURN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU STAND WITH THE CREATOR.
