    They have a rich culture, full of skills. They don’t need to stay in schools hours and hours. Just learn reading and math to run their business. No need to waste time in useless long day school education. The tribes before pass down their culture and knowledge from their parents, grandparents, and community. They did not need modern education .

      It was not about education it was about indoctrination and subjugation.
      Captain Richard Henry Pratt's speech in which he used the now well-known phrase to describe his philosophy of assimilation: "Kill the Indian in him, and save the man."

    Heart warming video. I loved the lady in the red sweater talking about how “community stuff” was weeded out. Nowadays any psychologist will tell you, we are wired for connection and it is the loss of community that is one of the main causes of poor mental health. Amazing project, so important to revive Native American culture in this way, it feels authentic, not just some paper thin, box ticking exercise. I’d like a community canning facility, such a great idea. Also I love that community togetherness and collaboration is valued above money, that is real value, those kids are very lucky. I can’t say enough good things about this film, thank you for making it. Subscribed 🙏👌🌱

    i believe that what the settlers did to the natives of this continent should be in the forefront of the american people’s minds. what they had to endure is absolutely tragic and horrifying. we took so much from them and they still are feeling the effects today.

    This is the most informative video on sustainable agriculture using traditional methods I've found. More people need to understand the importance of this knowledge, and have to the will to do something with it.
    I've been practicing the The Three Sisters in Arizona for two seasons now, growing Hopi Blue Corn, Scarlet Runners, and a variety of heirloom squash and pumpkins. I'm curious if anyone knows of a place to trade traditional heirlooms? I'm looking for Hopi Pale Grey squash, and any traditional variety of legume. Preserving the genetic lineage of these crops is perhaps the most vital thing we can do, in light of agricultural industrialization and genetic modification.

    Good job my friends, your on the right track! Substitute the cattle and chickens for bison and turkeys, throw in some paint type horses and your off to the races. Traditional bean and vegetable varieties are still around as well as tobacco and pawpaws.

    So cool how the concept of nixtamal spread so far and changed name and form. Making that corn more nutritious

    Corn needs to be processed in order to provide nutrients. "The word “nixtamal” comes from a combination of the Nahuatl words for “lime ashes” and “corn dough” which describes the original method of creating the alkaline solution using hardwood ashes to raise the pH of the water."

  • @hands2hearts-seeds2feedamu83

    According to my great grandmother, that is where they moved from when she was a child, and that we are related to people's there. I sure wish I knew more, she has moved on from this earth.

    I really loved this documentary. I love how these people are growing their own food. I love these people especially more than other Natives because our families live so close and look so similar (Italians in CNY).

      Start building a family tree, use online sources to go as far back as possible and contact city records to see where the nearest settlement was and where they moved to

      Hi Jessica, all US Tribes have a culture presevation offices that deal wuth genealogies. I would suggest to use a DNA test to start and then contact the Cherokee Tribe that is related to your family and ask for help with their office.

    What if Indians that were on this land before the English came. Did not teach the settlers how to hunt for food and to grow crops. It would be a better America today. My mother was Cherokee.

      They didn't really have a choice. The conquerers were more advanced and would have learned the land either way.

      The community of course. This is part of the great Oneida Nation. This reservation is located next to Green Bay city in Wisconsin. They have a very nice Hotel and Casino to stay. The tribe has a cultural preservation office and a museum, which includes the original cabins given by the govern when they were relocated from NY. You can ask for a guided tour. Oneidas are kind and gentle communities composed by traditional families that never forgot their past.

      @@mns8732 Casinos were a "solution" from the federal government offered to
      Native Nations to replace their economic responsibility to compensate the Tribes in perpetuity for vast live and material losses and transferred to citizens. Tribes use the income for housing an diverse internal operations. i agree w your characterization of casinos. But then Tribes will need a level of subsidy or compensation and much more land to be economic independent. Nonetheless ALL Tribes in Indian Country are already involved in many economic development projects to replace casinos> Anyway the Supreme Court rejected the relocate back to their ancestral homeland in NY.

    • @indigenousedumedia
      @indigenousedumedia  Před 22 dny

      This project is far from using child labor. These are educational interventions for community building processes inside and outside Native reservations around sustainable agriculture. In many ways educating local and native youth ensures that everybody understands environmental threats like mining for instance.
