This perspective is so important and so needed in the world. I repeatedly find it incredibly ironic that modern science has worked so hard to prove such a great deal of which has been traditionally known. In today's world we see science trying to prove the emotional and spiritual aspects of living in a scientific, experimental way, as well, as if we need science to validate the matters of the heart felt and known by human beings... thank you so very much for this wonderful video.

I'm a nurse and it's my dream to work with the native population regarding diabetes. My husband worked in Rosebud for a year as a flight nurse. He currently works in Kayenta, AZ on the Navajo rez. He's worked on the Navajo rez for ten years. Keep up the good work.

Aho big brother. Your accomplishments and presence with a caring audience are very respected. Big Pharmaceutical does not concur with traditional medicine, nor does big distribution concur with traditional healthy eating. It's David verses Goliath in modern form since day one, with their the noses up because they do know what's best, for them anyways. Maybe the problem lies with in our own sources. Healthy food is available, why are these places, that our relatives rely on food for, not getting the food they need instead of the food that causes sickness. Education not only happens in a school, but outside of the school, TV, gangster music and wrongful mentors such as gangbangers will turn kids into something they're not. Extra-curricular activities and involvement in culture could help. Even a parent who want their kids to do well makes all the difference. Dokša. Wopila
