      You should try to make it to The Omak Stampede & Suicide Race, Aug 11-14, Omak, WA. The Colville's plunge horses off a 200ft cliff into the Okanogan River. There is a Native rodeo circuit that dovetails with pow wows. The Horse Nations NDN Relay Races has became a sport in its own right & would certainly warrant your investigation.

      The cattle guard allows a vehicle to cross without need to open a fence, and it discourages cattle from crossing due to its width, but I've seen young steers jump them. Thanks for the video.

    Reminds me of 1985 when I was 24 years old visiting the Jicarilla, Apache Reservation for the first time. I stayed with a family of Navajo who lived there. All the little kids kept laughing and following me. My friend said the little kids had not heard English yet and thought I was really funny. The grandmother was well over 100 years old and I was told, she was born during the "Long Walk," time. That would be 1866 and her age at the time 119. They were living in the traditional way, with no running water, electricity or cars. Just herding sheep and walking. It appeared a peaceful life of tradition and calmness. Time seemed to be at a different pace there.

Most of us nowadays are weak minded and physically challenged and if the summer hits 90 degrees we start wining including myself , it could be a heart attack I had or possibly other illnesses but I'm in the same boat just weak now .

      The situation with native women is so disturbing. I personally believe it’s because of the way the law works between reservation police and state or local police. Not enough communication between them so the woman are falling between the cracks! Something needs to be done to change that. These women deserve better.

    15:13 as an Indigenous person who have known people close to me who have also served, I can immediately see the pain in his face dealing with life after combat. Indigenous people have special words for warriors and fighters, for the men who put their life on the line to protect their people, then come back home and have to deal with PTSD with the added dimension of also having to deal with the weight that all Indigenous people carry. I hope he finds his way to healing.

      you have native ancestry, while living a white mans lifestyle. You are exactly why the governments of these lands are going to strip natives of their *rights*. Why? Because ya'll are ASSIMILATED to the dominant culture. Why give people special rights when they're no longer special?! Why give Indigenous People indigenous rights... when they're no longer practising Indigenous people? See?
      THEY EITHER ASSIMILATED OR GENOCIDED our population of people. We either adapted or died. For me.. i think the fight still exists. Resistance is real, and is needed.
      SO WHY AREN'T WE? Well.. guess it's because native people are lost asf and claiming to be white lolololololol... taking vaccines and signing up for their handouts because it's an easier and respectable way to live eh?! ahhhh.

No one really talks about the displaced natives or why it is such a battle to find your tribe. 1849 James Pollock was a scout for the army and married in 1883 to Josefine Chavez full blood Apache but can't find any info of them even threw the BIA.

It might be of help, especially if there are others out there also looking for your branch of the family but don’t have contact or know where to start. Good luck! :)

      My great grandfather was a Pollock, he married a Paterson. They were both from Scotland, but Grandpa Pollock also had ties to Northern Ireland. That side of the family emigrated all over the world. I am from Scotland too, but I've lived all over the USA. Seems I caught the "wandering" gene, my granny, (his daughter,) had it too. I agree that a DNA service might indeed be helpful. It's been really important to me to research and learn our family's history and details. Hopefully someone in the future will use it and it won't get lost again.

    I lived in New Mexico for 3 years in the early 1990's. I went to college with a number of members of the Mescalero Apache Tribe. They were so warm, friendly and funny (as are most people out west). I wasn't used to that because I'm from New England and we're a pretty surly lot LOL. We're only warm, friendly and funny with people we know, not strangers. But I remember how engaging and helpful so many of my classmates were at NMSU especially in my cultural anthropology class.

Thr elevation there was around 12,000 ft. I would have to go down 1 hill doing 90 to get up the next hill. By the time I got to where it leveled off I was only doing 25mph. When you drive thru there you can remember from the old movies , the cowboys riding thru the Pass and the Apaches up top looking down on them. Totally stunning.

    I recently finished watching the Amish series and thought it very well done. The big surprise to me, and probably to many, was how open so many of the Amish were in talking about their lives (and I never realized there were so many subgroups). The Amish seemed interested in educating the public about their world. Here, with the exception of the man who’d been in the military, the impression I got was that everyone was polite but otherwise pretty reserved. In my experience, in having grown up near an Indian rancheria (a small reservation), that is typical. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes go. Having found this channel, it is a bit addicting. Good stuff.

There were hundreds of different native tribes, but today we only have a few left, they helped the federal government, and massacred other tribes that they considered enemies. They helped the white man.

All the guys with the Big Game Hunts were great. Amador and his son, Eddie, Wendell. All good folks. Jordan Torres is one of their local artists and my grandparents have bought some paintings from him that are absolutely beautiful. They’ve got one that’s like 4’x6’ that he painted for them of the Sierra Blanca mountain in the background with elk foraging in the valley.
    Fun fact: when there’s not so much snow on the Sierra Blanca mountain, you can see the mountain peak in the shape of a face with a feather coming down the back side of the head. Very cool to see this reservation in your videos.

    I remember saying few prayers silent prayers for these brave warriors.
    As a child growing up in Scotland I always felt a strange affinity with the Native American.
    Kinda weird I now realise but I was truly fascinated by their story.

    Love watching your videos Peter. I'm able to learn so much about cultures I don't see in my day to day life. You're a genuine dude, keep exploring the unknown!

    You did a great job on Jordan's show. I listen to every episode he does, and I watch every video you post. It was cool to listen to you both get together. I always look forward to your posts. Keep up the tenacity.

    Another great video Peter 👏🏻 through your videos I feel like I have been able to travel the world and experience so many different cultures all through the screen of my phone you are doing a very good job and I am sure I speak for most of your followers when I say we are waiting patiently for your Native American series coming this fall!

    You're doing amazing work Peter, all the while figuring out this Human Experience we're all dealing with. Always showing people as they are and the humanity is your purpose, glad to have you share others and about yourself
