Hello. Welcome to my channel. Lately, I have been delving deeper into the history pertaining to my people, The White Mountain Apache & The Cibecue Apache. It is my ultimate goal to bring our historical past to light upon the younger generations and those to come. Our stories and way of life is surely fading out into the tales of legend and myth, due to modernization. I wish to someday, somehow preserve some of that knowledge through my videos. Show some support, like & subscribe. Message me if you have any questions.

Game songs provide social entertainment and accompaniment to guessing games that are variously described as the moccasin game, shoe game, hand game, or stick game. They are played by two teams of individuals who sit in parallel lines facing each other. The object of the game is to guess in which moccasin or hand certain objects have bee hidden by the opposing team. Scores are kept with ticks wh...

As a navajo i understand majority of hes words . Only a few letters are substituted for different letter and if you look past it becomes clear. The oral teaching of the navajo is very similiar.
I think this is Sam Haozous singing - Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache who was in prison at Ft. Sill Oklahoma relative of Geronimo. He was the father of Allan Houser the Apache sculptor. But I might be wrong.
I can hold a conversation with him.
As an white American I’m crushed that we aren’t talking about this in school, there’s so much history here
Awesome.
From the time you were born you have experienced life. Is that referring to reincarnation?
@ushima_ Are you familiar with the following book: Amerindian Rebirth - Reincarnation Belief Among North American Indians and Inuit. The book is focused on reincarnation and the concepts of self identity, kinship, religion, cosmology, resiliency, and change among native North American peoples from the time of contact until the present day. The case studies show a wide variety of belief's around reincarnation. Like same clan re-birth and next life identification of specific individuals. Male and female life times Most of them believe that rebirth happens within one year and that identifying marks such as birth marks - or marks given a dying person can help with the identification process. Your reply sounds similar to reincarnation quote its born into another reality. Every non white group of people have belief in reincarnation, they just have there own way of expressing it like the version of it you explained.
@ushima_ Curious bro if the following is accurate or not: . The Hopi concept of death and the afterlife is also deeply connected with their entire cosmic understanding. “Afterlife” is not the best way to describe the Hopi’s sense of what happens after death; it is more a continuation of a very long cycle. The Hopi don’t explicitly talk of reincarnation but the general belief is that people are born back into this world to continually take part in the immense continuity of humankind. working its way through seven worlds in seven successive universes for an eventual forty-nine states of existence. Is that about right? or not? Just interested on a personal note. By the way thanx for responding appreciate ya brah.
My sister is Mescalero and Diné Its amazing what Apache Blood is capable of ✨
Thank you for this.
Your creation stories and the language is so similiar to navajo ways of knowing. So beautiful..
Thank you dear fatherman...
I think Navajos are apaches too…the Navajo language and Apache language is similar 😮😮😮
They are. The corn pollen is very sacred to both of us. We have been influenced by the Northern Athabaskan People. Our Thank you's sound the same and Kets have a similar linguistics in Diné. The Inuit-Eskimo-Ket are the same and Mongolians see them as cousins linguistically.
Thank you God bless you all
I am grateful to hear this woman shared her part of their history, may sound fooling On the feet of a woman who loves dancing. It would be a joy to see them in the butterfly dance,
Nizhoni! Ke

I love. The. Apache. And I love and respect your ways of life. Your ancestors were very knowledgable people,on everything that matters I’m saddened deeply by the ways you’ve been treated. Thank you for sharing.🦅
It’s almost similar to the Navajo creation story. But we pretty much the same people. 🤞🏽
For sure. Heard stories of us living up that way long time ago before we came down this way. Some say we we came from the Dine' 🤔
@@joshuatessay45 yeah that’s what I was told too.
This page active?
Yes just haven't made content lately
@@joshuatessay45do you know of any videos that show how the old school rawhide sole moccasins were made? I would like some moccasins I can wear hiking, but soft leather/tanned soles would be ripped to shreds hiking around here in Phoenix. Lol up there too I bet. Too many sharp rocks.
I lived in Lapwai Idaho for a few years and then in Showlow Arizona for the same amount of time. Leaving both places has truly taught me what being homesick is. Thank you for sharing this video. Its greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for giving a view into your great culture...you can be proud of your ancestors and the way the lived...sacred life in harmony with nature...with animals...you are the owner of this land...we all know it...we know that with the Europeans a big catastrophe happenend to you. I hope you can heal from this Trauma...and please keep your language and all the ceremonies, the stories of wisdom alive. I wish you all the best and lots of love to all of your people...from Germany... (where you have lots of friends)
LOVE the Penn State cap!!!
I am dashkeen, but I spent many a summer in White River. I remember well my friends and family. Adam Lupe was on tribal council. Most of the family has died. I remember the girl Bouncy. She was very nice. Good memories.
Thank you for sharing. I do enjoy this knowledge. Amen
Thank you for sharing knowledge with us. This was true knowledge, and I will pass this to my children for them to pass to theirs. Thank you sir.
We Are!
No, thank you sir for sharing this small portion of your knowledge and what you were taught and there is power in the words you speak. I can feel the power from your words, I only wish I had more time to learn more from others that you spoke of. Again, thank you.
Hello from Scotland. I have sat through tears and listened to your tenderness, your passion and your love of your people and respect you have for the Creator. It has truly touched my heart. I was sent to your channel from a Canadian Hunter/Guide called Steve Isdahl who has, over the past two years that I've viewed his channel, shown nothing but true respect to the true people of North America. Steve has many friends that are First Nation folks and over time they have come to share their stories with him. Some of the stories are uplifting and flowing with wisdom but many are sad stories. Stories that have made me weep for your people. I've come away from this beautiful recording feeling smaller but also feeling better settled within myself as I am very much in tune with nature myself in my daily life. I thank you for taking the time to record this for us all. Many, many thanks and blessings are being sent your way from me. I wish you peace, always.
Thank you. I'm sorry for what my ancestors did to yours. Please forgive them. Thank you for sharing.
So happy younger generations are learning their language, stories and way of being. Also, most all creation stories start with the mud/dirt. Think about it, people that didn't have access to each other, ultimately, have the similar creation stories. It's truly amazing. 🤍💙
Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you.
I have a new found respect for the beliefs of the Apache Indians and to hear their creation story is to be enlightened by a peaceful feeling. I send all my respect and admiration to all those that hold this near and dear to their hearts. 100% unconditional love sent from me to all.💚💙💜💛💗💟.
Thank you.
the beat of my heart always in my heart , thank you 🕊️
I am from the Cibecue Apache from the White Mountain Apache Tribe in Cibecue, Arizona. Father, Eagle Clan, Mother, Butterfly Clan. Hence, I claim the Butterfly Clan. Women lineage is claimed, and is dominant. Thank you for sharing my people's history, Steve. I appreciate it. Come visit the Mogollon Monster in AZ sometimes!! 😄👣👍 P/S I speak fluent Apache, English is my second language. I believe it is referred to as Athabasca.
Tell us more,…!
Thank you! I loved learning & hearing this. Blessings. 🙏
How strange if the natives many other countries and races tried to destroy are the ones who holds the knowledge to save us all from the dark evil.??
Why do you build casinos all over? It looks more like greed than payback for suffering....which in 2023 is lunacy.
Thank you, for sharing a bit of your life
Every home should be a round Gowa- no edges to catch evil. Every home round is a Gowa where no evil is welcome . We were put in square homes with edges all around.
Dazil Ligai Sian Ndee. If you speak it, life is in the words. Spiritual Currency Pay attention receive the Nation return what is said- Tears True value not the Money of this world. But the words of the Creator. Gnosis is Genesis. What we care to put our will behind. My Spirit moves when I here the language.
All the Singing and Crown dancing came from Bylas. Men's Club..
This song is similar to our Navajo Shoegame songs. Very interesting.

Thank you my Brother for sharing
Where is this song from?
From long time ago cassette tapes from some old elderly singing as you can hear in the video but I guess now says hardly anyone knows these types of songs to understand them you have to be fluently Apache and speak it or a medicine Man or someone will translate all the songs and meaning
I'm Dził Łigaii Sían Ndee, I know what you're talking about. I was wondering where it's from? If you knew. From CBQ? Carrizo? East Fork? What area is that song from. Or is it even from WMAT? Is it maybe Sin Gar? Or Tonto?
