neds declassified school survival guide? 😁
As a Indigenous person, I am super thankful that you are doing a video on this! Please raise awareness of the horrific events that played in the residential schools. Every Child Matters 🧡
Every child matters 🧡 ❤🤍❤
Every child matters 🫶🧡 I’m indigenous too and yeah I’m thankful too, but also surprised because like they said nobody talks about us natives and it suck honestly 😭😂
@@Someperson1522It does suck. Our ancestors have been through so much and nobody says anything.
@@vixy2321yeah my grandma ( ❤️🕊️ bless her, I miss her ) was ashamed I believe to talk about her experiences and reservation school because it was traumatizing but that’s such a hush, hush around here and I’m sure for other people I’m glad Anthony talked to these people and bring these to the light that people would usually ignore and not talk about
As part indigenous my family almost never talks about things like these I'm glad I'm learning about my family roots
All these comments show the HUNGER people have to learn more, especially when this history is so kindly shared. Thank you to everyone involved!
People can the blame the "christian" but honestly it was the us government did the most to the natives americans 19-80s
@@erenjaeger1738 you mean those Christian government workers put in place by Christian voters run by Christian lobbying groups. That "government"?
@@erenjaeger1738Nooooo the Catholic Church needs to pay for what they've done. They started it all and continue to protect those in DEATH who were involved with residential schools.
@@erenjaeger1738 it was both institutions
@Jordan44907 True. It was heavily on the us government. They were responsible with the shit they did to them
All my respect to this woman for coming up on a show and talk publicly about this terrifying stuff
Yea
Anthony sound like the people in South Park the 23 in me add lol
Idk man she sounds a little ungrateful about how well her people were treated
@@invalidusername4732😐
@@invalidusername4732tf is she supposed to be grateful for. Her people have been wronged by the government for hundreds of years
This is awesome! It would be great as well to do a day with Aboriginal Australians. As an Aussie, there is a lot of ignorance around the horrific historical events and current health of indigenous communities. It would really help to inform people outside of Australia as well!
Second this!
It would be pretty interesting to see if he could get someone who grew up during the “stolen generation” period, but that’s a pretty big request
seconding this, it's so fucked up to see non-australian people fucking around with aboriginal and otherwise indigenous australian culture because they don't realise that australia even **has** first-nations people. Making fun of us for our accents and the bogans and everything, sure, but then it comes to things with actual cultural significance like a didgeridoo(yidaki), and there's just so much ignorance around that.
100%
My maternal grandmother was stolen generation (probably Kuarna mob, but not entirely sure)
Im mexican and when doing a DNA test it came back telling me I was 38% mexican native and 8% Peruvian Native but none of my family had any idea what tribes or areas our ancestors were from and I think that erasure of the history of basically half of my dna is horrible.
It wasn’t erased, your family just forgot
Most hispanic/Latine kids have indigenous blood. Whether you’re from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Caribbean, etc. Sadly they don’t know this but I hope recognition of indigenous tribes continue to grow.
@@thatnerd8988 this. the united states is an example of what happens BEFORE the culture is eradicated. the spanish had genocide down to a science when they got done with mexico.
@@leolimitedition They didn't forget they never knew because in Mexico and a lot of other Latin American countries the the native tribes culture and identity was taken from them especially by the catholic church.
My Mexican family doesn’t know anything about our indigenous roots either. I traveled all around Mexico and learned about Aztecs, Purepechas, Raramuris, Mixtecos, and Mayans but I still don’t know with certainty which one of them is part of my heritage.
as a german it´s always so wild to me hear that american kids never learn about the bad things in their history (like genocide, wars, etc). "You can´t teach kids about it!" ... Well.. we germans do.. I can´t remember the first time I heard about the dark parts of my countrys histoy, what had happened.. I know US parents tend to be more protective about their kids but I think you CAN tell them, teach them, to be better and hopefully prevent the bad things from ever happen again...
That's so true! For me it's also interesting that we actually learn as you said about our dark past but also about the dark past about other countries. Like we learned about native Americans and what the colonizers did to them. Greeting from the south of Germany
It's very frustrating. My education taught such things but I was in special programs most of my school life for advanced students and that's the only way you really get that kind of education in the US - if you either pay for it or are deemed "advanced" enough to get the "proper" information. Education in the US is very much locked behind a paywall and/or something you're seen as having to prove yourself ready for and worthy of.
I am happy that my mom taught me at a young age about native american culture and history, because i was shocked when i moved to the us and how many people just didn’t have ANY idea what actually happened. many learned for the first time in sophomore history or geography. my mom supported native art and told the stories of where they’re from (directly from native artists). I can’t imagine a world where you don’t grow up with a sense of respect for a community, and gaining an understanding of where your own family and community can help repair what is left.
It's literally parental and generational negligence. A form of brainwashing and grooming kids to be pro American
It's not necessarily that we don't learn about the history at all, because we do. Especially since we are only a few centuries old as a country, there's a lot less time to cover. And I'm speaking as someone who grew up in a state that has one of the lowest rankings for education. The issue is that it's sanitized, and it's regurgitated. We go over it in elementary, but we're too young to learn the little details I guess. Then we relearn it in middle school, where it's viewed from a completely different perspective. Then it's done again in high school where it's arguably the most realistic, but…still sanitized, and by then students are done with it and just want to move on. For worse, obviously, but that's kinda what happens. But, point being, we do. Certain aspects of it are harped on. But we don't actually get a grounded account. Not until maybe high school, where…yeah.
As someone of the indigenous land, I think Anthony did an amazing job interviewing these guys
Yep
@@SunIsLostyup
Anthony always does a great job interviewing
Yeah and fuck the people who pretends they're "native american"
These "indigenous people" are just as indigenous as anyone born in the United States in modern times. I was born here just like she was. Her ancestors stole this land from people that already lived here just like my ancestors
As a Canadian we learn about the horrors of these school I am glad this is being shared Every child matters 🧡🧡
I’d like to add, as an Indigenous Canadian myself, that teaching about residential schools didn’t become mandatory in public schools until quite recently. I grew up around the time that it was required teaching, but the handling of it was still very much so up to the school. I attended a Catholic school so they heavily sanitized the treatment of Indigenous children to the point of glossing over the death and trauma experienced there. They also conveniently left out the church’s involvement in residential schools. It wasn’t until high school that I learned from people other than my immediate family about what really happened in those schools. Canada very much so has a long long way to go so it’s horrifying knowing that the US is so much worse when it comes to education on Indigenous topics. Everyone American/Canadian should be taught about our history accurately.
@@theflopmoondrop -- I'm also Canadian and was also going to add that it was recent. I think I first heard of Residential Schools was somewhere in the early '10s. At 51 currently, it wasn't mentioned at all in school when I went (graduated high school in '90).
@theflopmoondrop I'm also Canadian, and in highschool I was able to take an indigenous studies class where we were able to take a deeper dive into several indigenous cultures around the world as well as learning about more parts of the Canadian history with indigenous people, such as the inuit dog slaughter. I'm glad that now some schools are at the very least offering classes to teach students about this side of history
kids don't really think learning about it is useful (talking about that new english course in ontario), but like why would learning about classic american literature be any /better/ than actually learning about the horrors that your country has done for sure
same, I was so shocked that americans know so little about indigenous people the U.s is often seen as the best place to be alive, Its where you go if you want to fix your life. I find it awful how broken their education is (cananda still has its faults) yet outsiders see it as a wonderland
As an indigenous woman, this was refreshing to see these topics spoken about 🥲 My family was also affected by these boarding schools. Both guests were amazing and raised awareness about many of the most important topics in our communities. Please also raise awareness for MMIW (Missing, Murdered, Indigenous Women) ❤
I have a dark theory and messed one about indigenous women and men. There's some group in power want the indigenous people gone. This is why so many native Americans women go missing. Its called slowly genocide without saying it.And who could do such a thing? The cia. And remember these are the same group are responsible for putting cracks in the black community. The dea agent tried to expose them and end dead, shot in the head twice. By "suicide" With indigenous men. The alcohol and suicide rate. The lowbirth rates. Yeah the genocide isn't done. It's almost with Hawaii thing. The rich people buy their native land to push away. Sooo
🎯‼️
My family as well. In my high school, there is a sign to spread awareness to MMIW. ❤️🧡
And also ICWA
I'm glad we have another one of these episodes again. Don't get me wrong, the celebrity/youtuber episodes are great too, but I prefer episodes that involve regular people that just happen to be different from the norm in some way.
i second that! ☝️
I third that
I fourth that
I fifth that, the second he announced this video I was super excited to hear about it
Totally agree
as a first nations youth from canada, seeing anthony freaking padilla post this and amplify indigenous voices means so much to me i can't even begin to explain.
As an Indigenous person from Saskatchewan, it's been hard watching these Residential schools unearth horrors they tried to repress. But knowing we are coming together to create the world our children deserve makes it better, it comes back to accountability and taking back what belonged to us all those precious years ago. We are Here! And Every Child Matters 🧡
im also from saskatchewan!
So, when you're ancestors crossed the land bridge from Asia there where already people here. What do you think your ancestors did to those people. You know, given the fact they do exist anymore.
@@cybercirrus Heck ya!!!
@@kathleenrobertpogue6818 which people were there?
@@Chibbykins scientific American has dozens of articles on the topic. I would link one but KZhead doesn't like that. Here a quote from one of the many many scientific papers. "In the sweltering heat of an early july afternoon, Michael R. Waters clambers down into a shadowy pit where a small hive of excavators edge their trowels into an ancient floodplain. A murmur rises from the crew, and one of the diggers gives Waters, an archaeologist at the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University, a dirt-smeared fragment of blue-gray stone called chert. Waters turns it over in his hand, then scrutinizes it under a magnifying loupe. The find, scarcely larger than a thumbnail, is part of an all-purpose cutting tool, an ice age equivalent of a box cutter. Tossed away long ago on this grassy Texas creek bank, it is one among thousands of artifacts here that are pushing back the history of humans in the New World and shining rare light on the earliest Americans. Waters, a tall, rumpled man in his mid-fifties with intense blue eyes and a slow, cautious way of talking, does not look or sound like a maverick. But his work is helping to topple an enduring model for the peopling of the New World. For decades scientists thought the first Americans were Asian big-game hunters who tracked mammoths and other large prey eastward across a now submerged landmass known as Beringia that joined northern Asia to Alaska. Arriving in the Americas some 13,000 years ago, these colonists were said to have journeyed rapidly overland along an ice-free corridor that stretched from the Yukon to southern Alberta, leaving behind their distinctive stone tools across what is now the contiguous U.S. Archaeologists called these hunters the Clovis people, after a site near Clovis, N.M., where many of their tools came to light."
I’m Métis in Canada, my great grandma and great great grandma both attended residential schools in Saskatchewan. I dont really know much about the schools in the USA but in Canada there has been over 1,900 children as young as 3 found in unmarked mass graves. It’s truly a genocide that is completely ignored by the majority of not only Canada but from what I understand all of North American.
Because the government only cares for them selfs I respect you My fellow Canada 🧡🧡
Fellow Métis here ❤ thank you for sharing about this! So glad to have people like Anthony and you advocating and speaking up ❤️
❤
Omg I’m so happy that you are acknowledging this. I really hope this helps people learn about this, it’s a really important thing that we should not ignore.
Oh hello citrine, I knew I recognized your profile picture! I love your work and you are one of my inspirations! Honestly, you're amazing!
The thing I love most about these interviews is that it doesn’t feel like an interview. No one is put on the spot, all the questions flow, and it just feels like we are all having a conversation together. It’s basically a podcast but I get to watch it.
Im native american (navajo) and i just want to thank you for using your platform to boost our voices and our longtime ongoing problems. It means so much to me and probably many others Every child matters 🧡
What clan?
@@dengokiburi2719I'm not the OP and I don't know how to spell it but I know the english translation which is Water Edge clan, Yellow House People clan, One Walks Around clan, and Black Streak Wood clan in that order
Hi, Navajo. I'm Abanaki.
I would love a part two with residential school survivors. It’s such an important topic.
they have kin but it was so long ago I doubt the original survivors exist today. also our stories are not trauma porn.
Someone I follow on twitter said once that her small town school, history class was so.. edited out that she thought all indigenous people were dead for 100 years. then she found history books in college out of state
I thought natives didn’t exist anymore until I was 13 because of that same reason
Growing up with the only exposure to my native culture being movies like Pocahontas always made me feel terrible because I felt like everyone forgot about Native Americans. If I wanted to read a book about an indigenous character it was always about them being indigenous and never just being a person that was also indigenous like I saw with almost every other race. I also am from a lesser known tribe and never being able to have the resources to learn more about my culture after it being washed out of my family was always difficult. Seeing videos like this from such a popular creator truly means so much to me and the indigenous community ❤
My grandad was born in an "Indian town" and routinely hid is younger cousins from the police and church in cabinets and closets and when they would come looking for kids to take away to boarding schools. My great grandmother named him William to try to help him blend in. It was until very late in his life when he too back and legally changed to his native name, yoshi nahbebayashe. The government didn't even have to erase us themselves sometimes, people were so scared that they erased culture for them.
As an indigenous person from Mexico this made my day!
Indigenous peoples deserve more space to talk about these things and to be heard. Thanks for being a platform to add to the conversation
almost cried when i got this notification. i’ve been requesting this since you started the series. thank you on behalf of all indigenous peoples
My 7th grade teacher was full Mohawk. We learned about the "trail of tears" and a bunch of other stuff from a native perspective. We also learned the origins of the lake names, our actual town was an Iroquois name, and the history of our area.
I went to school in gnadenhutten Ohio and was lucky enough to have a very passionate history teacher who taught us all of the native American history from the country and from our area that is normally glossed over in history books nowadays. He even took us to the memorial ceremony for the gnadenhutten massacre, it was so eye-opening seeing how far away people came from for the ceremony to honor their ancestors.
Love how Anthony hangs out with diverse people and gives them a platform to talk about their experiences
wtf how do we watch the exact same things
ONG HOW U EVERYWHERE
@vixy2321 IKR, mafricker everywhere 👀
@@vixy2321 it's a bot, report it
Anthony sound like the people in South Park the 23 in me add lol
as a native i do appreciate this video. i do wish they talked about how bad we’re targeted for sex trafficking
When she mentions being 16 and having her teacher call on her for being a native gave me so much PTSD from when I was only in Grade 4. I was in small town Kerrobert, SK ... K-12 school, and my teacher kept asking me all these questions about my culture that I had no idea about. Im a product of the 60s scoop and residential schools doing what they intended to do. I'm a plains Cree native from Saskatchewan. I can count to 10 in my own language and know a couple words... My parents barely know anything either and my elders who know are passing.
As a norwegian minority, alot of what ms. Echo Hawk says, sadly rings true in my ears because those things happened here to (not only the Sami) but the 5 minorities too. I wish The People of the Americas all the best, and I hope they get the apology and recognition they definately ought to have gotten, like... years ago.
I am a Canadian indigenous person, and I as well as my dad were lucky enough to be born after most of the residential schools in my area were shut down. My grandfather on the other hand had to endure through the torture of being in those horrible schools, and I believe he is still being affected by those experiences today, because he doesn't open up about them. Despite these experiences, he lives an incredibly successful life, and has been the cheif of my indigenous community for over 30 years, greatly impacting the growth of our community.
I was so happy when I saw she was in this video I met Crystal as a child & she really changed my thoughts & image of the indigenous people and the real history
I’m Tohono O’odham and I’m so glad to see you interview indigenous people. Thank you for using your platform to bring awareness that we’re here and to share our perspective 💜💛
thank you for doing this Anthony. I’m not native american, but I come from an indigenous group called the Taino from Puerto Rico or Borinkén, as the taíno named our beautiful island. I appreciate that your shedding a light of what indigenous people have suffered at the hands of colonization, erasure & misrepresentation we all suffer at the hands of the United States government.
BTW, christopher columbus landed the caribbean first. He met the taino people first. Sadly rn most taino are not full bloody since with all colonization and mix racing.
i knew this girl a little embarrassed about her name in school but it was literally the coolest name i’ve ever heard i don’t want to call her out but native names are beautiful
I’m always shocked when people say they haven’t learned about these things in school. We were constantly educated on this in my Canadian school
Most people just don't pay attention.
I'm so glad you made this video and always happy to learn more about Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples. They need and deserve all the representation! It's horrid that the erasure of their culture and history is still ongoing.
Thank you Anthony for showcasing what happened to indigenous/first nations people. As someone living in Alberta with Cree grandparents who attended residential schooling im glad its being talked about more openly. My grandfather has memories of finding bones around his schoolyard after a downpour because the graves of children buried there were too shallow. I cant even imagine the horrors that man lived through as well as my other ancestors. As someone whos roughly 25% Cree I still barely know about my culture due to the damage that residential schools did which is an absolute shame. Im not sure if our schools today still have the same curriculum but at least where I went to school (class of 2015) it was made apparent in either late elementary or in middle school that first nations children were sent to these residential schools and that a lot of children died but we still werent told of the genocide despite being taught about many different nations of indigenous. It takes people like Anthony talking about it to spread the world of the horrors weve been ignoring in the not so distant past. There are still so many people out there living who remember the horrors of these schools. Their stories need to be told.
People dont understand how recent some of this is. My GRANDPA, not great grandpa, my GRANDPA, was put into a residential school
As an indigenous person and a long-time fan of Anthony, chi miigwech. Truly, from the bottom of my heart - I’m so happy and feel so seen.
It's amazing how no one learns this stuff in America in schools. In Germany it is actually a huge topic in history classes. Super interesting episode! 😊
I find it strange that all these other Americans say they didn't learn about this stuff in school because I did. I think it may come down to the specific state or school district maybe? Perhaps it was simply because I grew up in a state with a large Native population? I don't know. Granted, history taught to children in general is not very specific about anything or very in depth until you get to post-secondary education. I noticed that's when the juicy deep learning actually started.
@@silverwolfe3636 I agree my history class went into depth about this topic so it’s sad to see that other American schools haven’t it probably differs from what state or school you are in
@@silverwolfe3636 the part where theres lots of native people definitely influenced the fact that the history is in the schools in that area, they told us very vague things about what happened, didnt really go into what native people did etc.
As a fellow indigenous, i am very super thankful for doing a video on this and spreading awareness! , please do your research to anyone reading this and also of the terrible awful things that has happened in residential schools! 😢
Thank you so much for sharing this and doing this! As an indigenous woman and tribal member this is so empowering!!
In my American history class, after starting with Christopher fucking Columbus, I waited a couple weeks before going to my teacher and asking "when are we going to learn about the Native Americans?" And he looked SO sad to tell me that it wasn't part of the curriculum, and I was SO disappointed because he didn't even have time to squeeze a lesson or two in before the exams at the end of the year. I think as a teacher it kind of hurt him to be unable to teach me what I wanted to learn.
Columbus changed the world with his voyage so it makes sense to start with him.
Wow TITLE is really cool! I loved getting to hear more about TITLE from the wonderful NAME - LINK, NAME - LINK was such a good guest!

The book titled “Bury my heart at Wounded Knee” by Dee Brown shook me to the core about the injustices that have been inflicted upon indigenous peoples.
As an Indigenous person from Aotearoa New Zealand, I’m so glad to see you giving airtime and respect to these lovely humans. What a terrible dark night indigenous peoples have been through, but the tides are turning. We have a concept in Māori culture called mana, which is a combination of respect, presence, and something special and intangible, and we say that when you do things to raise the mana of others, you also raise your own. Big ups Anthony, this is nice.
14:16 Canada is guilty of this too. Their are more then 100 thousand dead native children scattered around Canada from these Residential “schools”. And many with unmarked graves.
Canada will always be guilty in this
My family has had a long history of fighting for our culture. My great great great great great great great great grandfather on my mom’s was Chief Pontiac, who started a rebellion against English rule in the Great Lakes region. My great grandfather on my dad’s side was sent to a boarding school but spent the rest of his life teaching us about our culture. Great grand father on my mom’s side helped children escape boarding schools by giving them shelter and helping start their journey home.
Coincidentally, I'm taking a Native American/American Indian Studies class for fall semester. This literally could not come out at a more perfect date for me.
I wish you the best with your studies :)
@@aahpuuh Thank you 😇
Something about the Boarding Schools in learning about them, I learned in sixth grade (2013-14) and more in high school, but especially college (History and Sociology majors). My Grandmother (89-90) didn't know about it, and I taught her about that. It's something that horrified me that it ever happened. That's my only comment because it's interesting that we (depending on state and district; I grew up in Wisconsin, for reference) are learning more about Natives in general. There is so much that needs to be done.
As a german it's really weird to me that this is not tought in school at all. In Germany we learn about the Holocaust and our incredible crimes in the war basically all through our education-system. America should really take note of the fact that it's okay to teach children about these dark times...
It’s saddening how little Europeans are taught about this, especially people in the countries that were behind the majority of the colonization of North America
I hope those two become even more successful in their endeavours.
as an Indigenous person, this episode really means a lot to me ❤ as an Inuk, I wish I could come onto this show and talk about the Inuit
p. s. the Oka crisis is wrongly referenced as the Oka crisis since it happened far away from Oka
that's so cool, ikr, I just with I could go on there and talk about my lower elwah and cowichin heritage, I don't think a lot of ppl in the US know how many recognized and unrecognized tribes r out there and how awful so many of them r still treated
Stay safe from wanna be indigenous people
I swear this video was called "i spent a day with indigenous people" a minutes ago.
It is
Thank you Anthony for bringing more awareness to indigenous people! You handled the many dark topics well and asked good questions! I live on the standing rock reservation and I am so happy you decided to talk about us indigenous peoples. Even a little awareness means a lot to me, like they said we are here and we need to be seen.
i’m from standing rock too ❤️
To Every Indigenous relative & friend out here working hard to break that Generational Trauma, I am so very proud of you, of Us. 🧡 Every Child Matters. We are Still Here ✊🏽
Crystal is amazing ngl . I also love how Anthony makes this content and give a platform to hangout with people and letting to talk about thair own experiences !
thank you for bringing these issues to light. being educated on your country's native people and culture is so so so important and it is unfathomable to me that it isn't done. as a european i am well educated on american history and the genocide, which is often not covered in america. however we do have our own native people here in northern europe called the sámi, which have also been supressed for centuries but it is not covered in our education. i cannot believe that i would sit in history class and learn about the colonisation of my country but not about the abuse and supression that our native people had to endure. just like the native americans, the sámi are still to this day fighting for their rights and trying to get back what was taken from them and it breaks my heart to see how people can still to this day be so heartless and lack empathy towards them. your videos are such a great way to showcase ignored issues. this one especially fueled me with such anger and a deep need to change things. eventhough i can't change the world on my own, i do have hope that enough people want that change too and eventually it will happen. and you, anthony, are on of the reasons why it is possible, because i'm sure many of the people who watched this video didn't know of these things before and now they might want to help too.
I remember when I was in grade 5 or 6 we did a novel study on the book “Fatty Legs: A True Story” about a girl going to a residential school to protect her younger sister who was also going to the school and her trying to hold onto her culture throughout the horrible experience. I very vividly remember reading the end of the book where she makes it home and her culture is foreign to her and I remember looking around the class and seeing all my classmates with the most devastated looks on their faces. It’s important we learn about these things, thank you Anthony for providing these people a platform to educate ❤️
Thank you so much for this! As a indigenous person (Choctaw) I am so glad to see you do this!
My art teacher in lower school was Choctaw! He was my favorite teacher in that school!
@@h0rn3d_h1st0r1an that’s so awesome!!
Thank you for this!!! Much of our history has been erased, for both north and south American natives. I'm a south American native, my grandparents were born on Tupi-Guarani land in Brazil. Right now much of our land in and outside of the amazon is being taken for soya plantations, lumber, etc. The problem is still happening! To almost every indigenous culture in the world.
ANTHONY, Omg, my people are getting recognized, I’m so happy🧡🧡🧡
I am too! This was such an amazing surprise, whenever something indigenous pops up from someone or something I know I get excited Like Fortnite with their Fortnite skin ( sorry cringe I know but that was a big moment for me lol )
IKR IM SO HAPPY
Oh, hi veda
Watching her talk about being made fun of for her name in school just reminded me of the one native kid where I went to school (almost all white except me and a handful of poc kids) and half the kids thought he had the coolest name in the school and the other half were the asses who made fun of his name. I’m so glad there’s a video on these subjects though! We need to keep bringing attention to Indigenous people and the things they face.
My name is Native American based and I embrace that part of me. These people deserve love and respect just as anyone else
I had a US history teacher that taught us almost every native historical event that was brought up. It’s shocking to hear that these topics aren’t commonly covered because they seemed to be events that were necessary to learn. I’m appreciative of my teacher, and it was very impactful to for me to learn ab this history.🙏
I’ve been wanting to see this subject for so long, I suggested it 3 years ago and I’m so happy this can finally be recognized on this channel
Ah yes a day with title
Thank you for giving us a platform to share, Anthony!
My teacher told me my village was not a village because we have houses and not tents and igloos. I tried to educate them but they were dead set on trying to convince me that our village wasn't one because of our modern community design
I bet she went on missionary trips. How did she get her degree? 😭
I also did a DNA test couple years ago and I found out i am 40% Native American, which my family didn’t know either. I wish I knew more about my family history.
If you’re Hispanic look up the encomienda system it’s how Spanish colonizers enslaved and white washed Indian people that’s why so many Hispanic people from the Americas are half or more Indian
Imagine being literally the only native people on a country controlled and dominated by outsiders. Imagine feeling foreign in your own house. I can only feel empathy and respect towards indigenous people and what they've been through. ❤
The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian is a hilarious fiction book (despite its name) that taught me a lot about native Americans. I would 10/10 recommend it.
As someone who (through some miracle) went to a school that went in depth with the indigenous American genocides/erasure, I do agree that a lot of schools don't even teach past the 1900s. I hope schools in the future get to properly represent these people. We literally learn about people like Louis Armstrong, Maya Angelou, George Washington Carvey, Malcolm X, and Aretha Franklin yet never get to hear about historical figures who were indigenous during this century. The stories of these people not only deserve to be heard but needs to be heard.
Crystal Echo Hawk might be the most badass name ever
Lmao I commented this before Anthony said the same
one of my relatives remembers burying children while they were in residential school, I still have some hatred inside of me towards every country who invaded the America's.
I remember the being taught about the native peoples of Canada all the way back in grade two and I still do. Im in the most conservative province in Canada so im glad its still being taught.
I’m very grateful to have grown up in my specific county in Florida because we actually did learn a decent amount about native tribes and their different cultures. We learned about their clothing, the kind of housing they built, their hunting and agricultural methods, the meals they cooked, some of their traditions and beliefs. It was an entire unit in 4th(? maybe 3rd?) grade, and then we went on field trips to cultural centers and learned more there, especially about the Seminoles since we live in their territory. Once we were a little older (5th grade and beyond) we did also learn about the genocide and the Trail of Tears, not in graphic detail but enough to really impress on us how awful it was. It wasn’t until a college US history class that I learned about most of the horrible shit that happened after the initial colonization of the land and the treatment of native peoples leading up to and following the Trail of Tears. I wish everyone got that same education, I hope this video will help bridge that gap in most Americans knowledge
I spent a day with TITLE?!?! 😭😭
we will never forget😂
This made my soul sing as a native I love seeing my people in the media
I was blessed to work in Cherokee, North Carolina at Unto These Hills this summer. The amount of culture that I learned that I never knew was astounding and it has been such an incredible time learning all the things that were missing from my history book.
Thank you so much for the representation. There’s been a huge uptick in the last couple years, most well known being the FX show “Reservation Dogs” and I am absolutely loving it. I feel like a real guy now lol.
in canada (i graduated in 2020) we learn about “indian boarding schools” and it was horrible and they existed until 2008… that was 15 years ago
as a younger cree native, i think the hardest thing was living through most of my life leaving everyone thinking I was asian and no one knew I was native 💀
I am one proud indigenous person!!! Thank you Anthony for inviting these beautiful souls on your space and letting them be candid about what happened to us.
It's so cathartic to hear these stories being shared on a platform or shared in general because we were never safe enough to do so. For my family, we kept quiet about the trauma we've experienced and how it's affected us. This has been for generations because we didn't have the luxury to talk about it and it was even bad to talk about it. My family was too busy working and providing and for awhile it "worked" but with my generation of family members we were feeling the cracks. Now, we are slowly trying to change the cycle of abuse we've endured by just simply talking about it. It is so powerful and I hope my community and I continue this so we can finally collectively heal.
These videos should be played in history classes
I am so glad as a indigenous kid to see Anthony interview us for we could tell you are stories
Omgg thank you so much for taking the time! I for sure feel invisible here in the city compared to my reservation. And omgg i really hate all those broke treaties
I am indigenous and I am happy that our history is getting told ❤
Thank you so much🙏🏽 it means so much to me and many others that you made this video.
Why did I get a notification for "I spent a day with INDIGENOUS PEOPLE" and now it's called "I spent a day with TITLE" lol?? I would've understood if they forgot to change the name but this means they changed it to the wrong one after the fact, like wtf?
Thank you!! People need to hear our side of history and our pain we have to go through even in todays world!! 🧡🧡🧡🦋🦋
I am Australian, and I was so excited to learn more about this topic. My schools have made us read multiple books about the colonisation of Australia from both perspectives, and even more books about the lasting impact it has had on our First Nations people. After being educated on our Indigenous people so much, I have been immensely curious about other Indigenous Peoples of the world. So cool to have a video like this to help start that learning process!
Damn when the hell were you in school? I’m 25 and we didn’t learn nearly enough, basically just cliff notes. The only thing we ever learned about in depth was the Eddie Mabo case, and honestly to this day I’m surprised that we did. I sincerely hope they’re doing more than that these days
@@JoeyThorburn The books we read were 'Nanberry', 'Tracks' and just recently we have watched the film 'Charlie's Country'. I would say the first two gave me the most insight into the culture, Charlie's country gave me a better idea of how it affects them to this day. We looked at Mabo as well, but I think I was too young to get invested in that.
@@JoeyThorburn as for where, I went to school in Victoria around the Dandenong Ranges
@@GooseBucket-hr1go nice! I went to school up in the Hunter in NSW. My brother actually came home the other day and told me that he’d learned all about Mum Shirl (Wiradjuri humanitarian activist) and then taught me all about her too. Thankfully it looks like we’re starting to take steps towards better understanding and education
I can’t think of another heterosexual man who can pull off a neckerchief like Anthony can.
I am Frrst Nation. I proved this video. My dad was a Reservation School survivor. We lost him a year ago. Thank you for making this video!! This means a lot.
Thank you for making this video. One thing, I need to spread awareness here that Indigenous people in the NWT of Canada, BC’s Okanagan and Hawai’i among other places are evacuating their homes due to forest fires caused by climate change
Thank you for this, Anthony. more people need to know about indigenous peoples and our struggles.
Thank you anthony for making these videos and helping these people.
You should do a video on Aboriginal people from Australia! Oldest nations to ever live & could really use the exposure due to the current new wave Stolen Generation happening amongst a plethora of other detrimental injustices
