Stella rose same are you in 7th grade too?
Imagine how empowered you would feel after that? The whole community acknowledging that you are growing into a young woman and showing respect.
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. beep A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. ding Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
You feel like it's easy at first.
But you are so wrong.
You run until you feel like you are going to die right there in the middle of the track, the same gym teacher yelling at you to keep going. But you just can't do it. You make it back to your partner and collapse, breathing heavily.
Powerful, very powerful. It's so sad that some traditions die with each generation.
Ten . . . hours . . . of dancing. *Damn*, that's impressive. 'Strong woman', indeed.
That's barely anything compared to what males in most have to do
RED BULL
allah bless wym
Aesturiai look up what the Mandan boys have to do to become men
Night in Vegas
That really touched me. I wish I came from a culture with such supportive, communal activities. So many people came to celebrate with her and give her strength. She was so happy to have accomplished such a symbolic ritual.
Make money dont look back
I had mine done when I was 12 this is my family in this video
Just seeing this video makes me wanna have my comming of age ceremony again. . the main thing i miss & loved was dancing in the big teepee. . it was a challange but i made it through. . I wouldn't have made it without the support of my family & friends. . I would really like to thank Zelda Yazza & David Mardon for being there taking care of me all four days. . but thatsa a memorie i wount forget!!
Anyone watching this for my perspective book?

+TheProfessionalFPS yep sadly
+Charlotte Phillips Is there any chance that you go to Broward college

Native American culture is beautiful and I wish that it never goes away. preserve your culture and be proud ❤️
Thank you, unfortunately we are in a way disappearing.
And I can barely make it 10 minutes on just dance
Sofia Remoy-Evans bro this is one of my homework assignments. Do u just have no life or something. I'm in the fucking 8th grade and just scrolling through the comments and then I see this out of all things and I just fucking cringe so badly
Sofia Remoy-Evans I can make it 5 minutes!
lmaaoo
lamooo
Hahahaha lmao
I thought my confirmation was difficult. This ritual looks tough. Bravo to the girls to have become women.
don’t be shy people leak the answers for the perspective book 😻💅🏽

I experienced this ceremony in 1976. It was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I was not allowed to be close and see things as this video show. I am in tears of joy and connection to all my relations as I watch. Thank you, Mescalero, for opening yourselves and your sacred ways. I hope to go back to Mescalero soon and witness these sacred ways from different eyes. Aho.
Teachers making us watch this but I'm low-key interested
@@leeju600 same
I watched this for class but I genuinely enjoyed it. I think this is a beautiful culture

this was illegal in USA till 1978.. I'm glad my grandmother was bold she gave me mine in 1974.. I'm half Chiricahua
Congratulations! and hey, fellow Chiricahua here too! I'm Fort Sill Apache!
Stop lying

Very interesting. It's fascinating how much diversity can exist within a single land. Just like the different European nations, or the different African tribes, there are some cultural traits that are universally recognized among all the Native American tribes, but at the same time, each one has different rituals, songs, ceremonies, etc. that set that tribe apart from the rest. I love learning about stuff like this. I just find it all so fascinating.
It's interesting to finally see a FEMALE rite of passage.
+Brian Merritt Yeah but they don't have to put there hands in gloves of deadly ants, and not flinch when they get whipped
Catvation Not this rite. But other female rites include such things.
+Brian Merritt Feminists
Alexander fuckerson go some where else my cousin is having her feast next year
Brian Merritt rite?
This comment section is filled with school kids...
And yeah I'm also here because of my teacher
By some of the remarks I get the feeling that arrogance is still the rule of reason. This was a beautiful ceremony and reveals the communitarian foundation of true religion.
In online school does anyone else have to write an essay comparing it to another story called the medicine bag?
thank you for telling me whats coming
It's interesting to see how other bands of Apache do their sunrise ceremonies. This is way different then the way that my tribe does this ceremony but it does bring back memories of my ceremony. They tell you don't smile or frown because when you're an old woman you'll have lots of wrinkles. I don't know how true that is but I was like, "If I get wrinkles I'd rather they be from smiling not frowning! Lol!
does anyone watching this for my perspective book XD
Meeeeee🤭
Sadly, yes, I am here because of my perspectives. But, the important this is, is that Taehyungie as your profile picture???
Bangtan ARMY uh yeah 😅
I am
Me HAHA
kudos to the English teachers recommending this to their students , I feel like rights of passage are a lost tradition in modern day civilization.
well it is kinda stupid
Who else needs this for school?
me
Just found out this was 13 years ago what 😭
I think that it is interesting to see the way the Mescalero Apache do their ceremony. It is neat to see that the different Apache bands/reservations do their ceremonies differently. I am from San Carlos, and when I had my ceremony, it was awesome, to know I had that much power to heal and be close to Ulsin, was a very great experience!
Any Apache girl that has this ceremony grows, and is blessed in many ways..
Bet your from VIIMW huh? 😂
8th grade gang where you at?
Here
Rylyguy yessir
s k here
@Gamer Snoop oh lol no problem

SAME
Me to
Ahhh hey. Thats me... im here for that
@Game News yeah
i miss home so much and all it had to offer. i wish i paid more attention to something so rare and hardly known to the world. i miss everything like this. Tradition of my people, the apache.
myPerspectives
pFFT
I became a woman when I got my first period...I didn't have any sort of celebration or recognition for it...I now wonder what would have happened if my culture did have some sort of 'rite of passage' ceremony for becoming a woman.
It is because in the north American world, every person is just a piece of meat going to work and coming back. In these tribes, every person is cared for, everybody knows everybody, and everybody is important in each others lives.
The great thing about this video is that it shows how the Mesalero's have managed to preserve an important part of their culture. They have not lost their heritage, and that is very promising.
1:03 LMAO THE PERSON IN THE BACK IS WEARING A STEELERS JERSEY
LOL
Aho good one! As a young Xicano from Colorado I am happy to have seen this in my life. They even put me and my Barrio Warrior bros to work out there, they were real good to us. It is a beautiful thing to witness, just regret not able to make the run in the morning. Hopefully I'll be back one day. Blessings to all
many thanks for uploading this. it is a fascinating and beautiful video
I've been invited to help in my cousin's ceremony set to take place early summer of next year. I'm honored that I'll be there to see her pass into Apache adulthood with such a traditional ritual.
how was it
My cousin is having her feast next year
so is mine
I saw this in my Anthropology class today. It is very beautiful. I would love to see this for my self.
So everyone is doing a essay for this story and the Medicine bag?😂
yep
same
OMG YEAH
Woitttt. Yess!! What grade yall in?

got me watching this video for class like 5 years after everyone else did
Well I belong to a Apache Tribe (which obviously means I'm apache to). This video was very insightful on how other tribes does (or do?) their traditions. From where I'm from we do our Rite of Passage very different but yet you can see the similarites(sp) between ours and theirs.
Its such a beautifull Ritual shes a strong young woman good luck to her for the future her fammily will be so proud of her and for people who give negeative comments keep them to you"rselfs okay
this was wonderful to watch. how different from my typical american culture! i am in constant awe of the native american cultures, and heartbroken that they are... as the video says... "in danger of vanishing." nothing that beautiful and powerful should ever vanish from this earth.
i go to this every year, its a a beautiful ceremony
felt like crying at the end..soo beautiful (:
same
how wonderful
simply magic....
beautiful and significant - this is an example how to grow up with values and respect to herself, the community , the paste and the future.
Thank you Shirin for sharing.
Graça Costa It's my pleasure to share this video, Graça I'm glad you enjoyed it; it is a wonderful culture & this is such a significant ritual. It makes you think if the world valued these cultural practices more, wouldn't it be a better place? Grateful to the native tribes of America that they haven't lost these traditions that we can all learn from with admiration & humility. Thank you!
I think this video is beautiful and the rituals here amaze me. Thank you for posting this.
I WAS 0 WHEN U POSTED THIS OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Intresting!!! I always wondered how Mescalero did the sunrise dance!!! It really is different then the way we do it in San Carlos and White River!!!
What a stunningly deep, beautiful, and pure culture. Don't ever give it up!
Never back down never give up
how do you dance for 10 hours straight? Are bathroom breaks allowed?
This is really cool
I’m here bc of class😭😭
Same 😂
I always thought the Navajo ceremony was tough, I didn’t know too much about the Apaches’ way, but I had a friend who did both because she was part Apache Navajo and Hopi, and the things she told me sounded so difficult, most Navajos wing it on their ceremonies too, there’s a shortened version, for the sake of time and our busy schedules in the outside world
So, I'll have my 7th grade students watch this lol
@CSFLY77 Right now I'm reading a book about Lozen. It has been so hard to find it here in Italy. It's amazing that there are so little information about her, maybe because she was so important to the people that they wanted to protect her. It seems that even Geronimo never spoke about her. Next august I'll go to South West and I'm trying so hard to learn as much as possible about history, culture and daily life of native people.That's way I read many comments in the web. Sorry for my english
Congrats Dashina! I am half Inupiaq when a girl becomes a woman it is a great live long!
I'm asian american, and appreciated to see such a great culture. You people should be proud and keep it a live....culture is way to identify yourself...
apache,i love. Iam from Greece. I always loved North America's Indians for their culture, their spirit, their sense of the Nature. Ilove to call them Indians, because for Greeks this word has the meaning of a free, strong, unbroken spirit. In my language Indianos (pl. Indiani) is used for the native Americans while Indos (pl. Indi) is used for people of India, so there is no doubt about the meaning.
I’m watching this because of my quiz :(
Yo I just did that quiz 😂
I’m about to take it
@@xburkez it's easy tbh, I got a 100%, but good luck
KroNyx thanks lmao
This is beautiful
i know
shut up
wrong, these people are crazy. I heard 'mountain spirit' atleast 1 time in this video
This is so cute and she looks so happy! I'm so happy for her!
Stop simping
The girl chose to do this. Many other natives choose not to. She wasn't forced.
Tradition is culture and people. By practicing this she gave her people's way of life a chance, a way to preserve their Identity. Without these ceremonies, they're heritage would cease to exist.
All rights of passage into adulthood require some sort of test, be it a dance or getting your driver's licence. A test of physical, mental, spiritual, emotional fortitude or a mix of all four. I don't see it abusive.
I'm happy to see that they still stick with their traditions and I hope the girls have a bountiful life.
All you people can act like u know MY culture because in this video this girl in her is my cousin and yes we did live in temple's so stop acting like u know our culture. We also still do this today.
Tia Cochise When I began watching I was afraid they'd do some torture to the girls as some tribes and cultures in the word do but apart from exhaustion this 10 hours dancing is not too bad. I'm glad it's nothing worse than this :-)
Richard Cee Same here, i was so worried that they would resort to FGM. So happy that it was much less severe.
Lol stop lying
+Tia Cochise Who said that we knew it
+Tia Cochise and you said all you people
Good for her for staying strong! ^^
Anyone else in 2021 having to watch this for school 💀
At least this culture actually RESPECTS women. :)
Inb4 married off to old elder for alliance purposes.
@Turn up the music, I AM grateful. There are just some cultures that do not respect women in the least and it's terribly sickening. That's why my top comment says what it says.
This is beautiful. I wish i could let my daughter do this so she knows how strong and wonderful woman are and how important they are to our society not just strippers flashin gash for cash. This is a beautiful world that should be preserved.
There is nothing wrong with being a stripper so don’t bring down stripper to up lift non strippers
they have maintained their culture very nice!
You go girl!!!
who else is watching this for class? lmaoo
Me
me lol
i am
Me i go to bagley
christian dean meee
beautiful
that was really cool and she's really pretty and her family must be really proud :)
Amazing!
I think that's all really adorable and loving. You can see how much it meant to the little girl. Except maybe the dancing all night long thing. Which, to be fair, a lot of young people do in a club anyway.
Beautiful just beautiful
GREAT VID. THNX
Beautiful!
*Part 2* Good rite of passage And the reason they paint her is that their welcoming a new women to the tribe. And the reason they don't show the girls dancing in the Big Tepee is because its very sacred. But they dance all night on the last night. They don't dance non stop they have breaks so she can rest ect. When girl's have this cerm, they have to be pure. So that's why our culture is vanishing. And I would explane the rest but the rest is very sacred But I hope this helped you guys out a lil
Your a legend dude 🙏🏼
I’m here cuz I have an essay that’s due tomorrow (which I didn’t even start) and I’m supposed to compare this video to the medicine bag🙄 also it’s a weekend and I wanted to watch Netflix😩
bruh my teacher gave it to us to do it in like one day
@@Joe-rh4ym my teacher gave us a week but I had so many exams and I couldn’t catch up so here’s me at 3am trying to finish it
Omg dudee I got the same essay due tmmr and I haven't even done it-
@@wooooooooooorm Me too XD
I admire her strength and respect her beliefs. No more, no less.
yeah.. my ass..... i would have dropped dead after 20 minutes of dancing..... how the hell she lasted 10 hours is nuts.... do they get to stop for a few minutes at least?
yes
Yes we do get to stop , after 4 songs ( which equals 1 set ) we get a break .
Lol I’m using this vid For the my perspective book
wow... dancing for so long. (: and with a stoic face too. props to her!
Yes
So tell me why she said that she cant smile but she smiled
When I was preparing, I was told that if you didn't smile maybe even a little, that you'll grow into a mean and serious woman.
Interesting, just strange seeing all the other kids around wearing Nike products, jeans, billed caps, that sort of thing. Such strange contrast between that, and the ritualistic garb.
ratchet319 not everyone has to dress in their regalia for certain ceremonies.
yeah keep going on it !!!
really beautiful ceremony
