I had the pleasure of meeting this man on my first trip to Ketchikan

I was at celebration

What is the spiritual meaning of totem poles? do they denote lineage, or like a ladder to heaven?

Could you share some of the seeds. Thanks.

Do you share the seeds ?.

Wondering if this armor and helmets may have been cultural diffusion to or from the japanese samurai tradition? Armor was also used in siberia and by the inuit.

Gunalcheesh greetings from lstanbul great lecture Sufi Brotherhoods are still banned in Turkey in the name of modernization, when youtube was opened l saw a ritual for the first time and l was just like that boy wow l wish they were still around ...

Thank you for sharing a master class in Haida craft. 🦅

It is so wonderful seeing the spirit alive and well and the young ones carrying on our legacy of the tribes! Beautiful souls with so much pride!

Is there a transcription available for deaf people??

Amazing amazing information and it explains so much

Beautiful ❤️thank you for sharing on CZcams. 💖🙏

...a distinction needs to be made between what Rosita is calling clan property and what I identify as tribal or national property. Yes, I agree there is property that belong to a clan. It is true this is not just clan property but it is also atoow. Tribal, or national property are those those things owned by us collectively and include; our language, culture, and history. These three things encompess our clan stories, they do not separate our clans but connect us. The reason we have clans is to honor the 1:26 importance of a point of view.

This "Research" does not prove when the Tlingit People arrived in Canada, or rights to any territory in Canada. This "Research" only shows they found the remains of someone who passed by the area and is related to millions of people all over North America. :) Maybe I'm related to? Can I claim thousands of acres? Why is there no mention of the 2 km high glaciers that were there 10,000 years ago that prevented people from settling in that region? No Mention of the Glacial Lake Flooding or the Megafaunal Extinction from Meteors that erased all life in North America?

Had the Priveleged Witness opportunity to See Nathan Jackson carving this year at the Tlingit Village June 2024💜

I’ve been enjoying a lot of sealaska’s videos, but this one seems a bit lopsided and inaccurate in the story that it’s presenting. He acknowledges this part way through as saying that he’s been accused of overly romanticizing these cultures. But trying to frame humans living in a subsistence lifestyle off wild foods as being synonymous with modern day conservation is way off-base. In traditional hunter gather lifestyles, people were an intrinsic part of the food chain, and couldn’t expand beyond the food supply. Throughout the world hunter gatherer groups had their population constrained by the carrying capacity of their environments, where if their population became too large then famine would result, where tribal wars over hunting grounds was common within those societies, also limiting the human population. Infant mortality rates was also higher and life expectancy was much lower. Today however we don’t have those same local natural constraints to the expanding human population, as food can easily be imported from elsewhere. And these species are being targeted with increasing effective technology, like modern guns, better fishing nets, powered boats to reach more distance fishing grounds, sonar to help locate fish, etc. The extraction of these resources has been commercialized, where they’re extracted at far beyond the needs of the local community, exported to people around the world. With these larger human populations, we’re no longer living in a time where hunting and gathering subsistence lifestyles are sustainable everywhere. Regulations are critical to prevent game and fish populations from completely collapsing, such as what occurred during the 1800-1900s. The thing that eventually allowed the recovery of those species was the implementation of modern regulations surrounding their extraction and habitat preservation. And it makes sense to have some wild places set aside as protected conservation areas, where these animals can breed and thrive, where their offspring then can spread into surrounding unprotected areas where hunting and fishing is allowed. That said, there are some traditional indigenous practices that definitely do have value and which should be incorporated into modern management practices, such as native use of fire to thin forests to prevent much larger wildfires. I would have liked to hear more specifics like that within this talk as to how exactly these indigenous techniques would increase the productivity of these lands, but this talk was mostly platitudes, asserting that indigenous management is better, without explaining exactly why that may be true.

Why why why why why why so much digressing? This was supposed to be about languages of Southeast Alaska, and you spent so much time taking on and on and on about stuff that had nothing to do with them.

Excellent, thank you for the presentation and for the exquisite details.

what's a "water absorber in a car"?

I love watching my people dance. I am Unangan from Ketchikan, my mother’s family lived at Ward Lake in a CCC camp during the early 40s. I am related to the last 6 Chiefs of Attu

What is this song?at 30.00?

Flicker Bird Clan song is awesome!!!

Ho ha❤❤❤❤

I dont know too much about my Native heritage unfortunately since my great grandma and her family was made to live in a camp since she was little. Once she had my grandma and her siblings she had pretty much forgotten how to speak the language or was ashamed to speak it so my grandma was never taught much about any of our peoples lives or traditions. Luckily, my mom, Auntie, and me along with my siblings and cousins are determined to learn and appreciate all we can about our people. We know for sure now we come from the Qawalangin tribe specifically! Hopefully we will be able to make it to the next event <3

I’ve always found the artistic style of the Pacific Northwest’s Indigenous peoples to be so beautiful and fascinating. ❤️

Alaskan native/ anything Alaska gets so over looked yet we are literally the best state

1:55:21 is beginning of Grand Entrance song

It's fascinating. I add this to my Playlist for tomorrow riding with my car

I would pray that there is a strong Tilingit leader

Strong evidence now proves, thanks to the Infanta Logbook, that Barrymore didn't acquire the totem pole in 1931. The yacht never anchored or passed anywhere near Prince of Wales Island. Also, the totem poles on the early postcard of the Tuxecan village and then the picture of the crew of The Infanta about to remove it, proves it couldn't have been removed to another location. Unless, of course, all the other totem poles were also removed and erected back in similar positions as were on Prince of Wales. He didn't return to Alaska in 1932, but in the summer of 1933. Press photos taken by Irving Lippman shows him standing beside his totem pole erected on the Bella Vista Estate around the end of 1933 and early 1934 in newspapers etc.

This was one of my favorite performances at celebration ❤

@dominicsalvato3171 0 seconds ago As an elder it is well we preserve our past. It is just as important that Sealaska produce video's covering the contents of Sealaska's proxy statements and annual reports. Business sense is vital to our people's future. Seventy percent of Sealaska shareholders remain living below the poverty line. ANCA was to help all to prosper, only a handful have. Demand full disclosure and end this silence at independent shareholder face-book pages by the management of Sealaska

Always learn sentences or word combinations. Never single words. This is VERY important because not only do words almost never live in isolation, but we can begin understanding grammar intuitively through how words relate to each other.

I love the song at 8:10min Mark. I Need the Words I'm Alutiiq and Learning from a distance 🙏🏼
