Hope you could make a longer documentary. Nice work.
Sweet documentary check out my video all about Native History! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxzXvj7O8jM&feature=share&list=UUIKyjG2mS3VvCb5rHflOiLw Thanks I am a Cree man from Ontario..
So important to learn off our elders, family and community traditions, so that our past is not lost forever. I wish you all well. Thankyou for the insight.
good to hear that the young are interested in their heritage and truly want to learn the ways and traditions. Not many young in the world want to learn history let alone their own heritage.
Our world would be so much better and so much more beautiful with your culture and your people.
When I listen to the winds I hear your cultures wisdom, your drums, your elders, your repect for nature, your beautiful dances. I'm Dutch and am so very grateful that you are all still there. Help your people take back the beauty that is theirs and their alone. With much respect, Daniëlle
I am non-native but when I go to our Six Nations Chieftans Pow-wow, I feel peace, and healing when I go home. Aboriginal teachings must exist for future generations and for the healing of our Mother Earth and it's people. Sago
