Tell me is Christianity a part of Indian culture, if i remember rightly they tried to destroy our identity along with us, i am confused why then have Indians given away our beliefs for something thats not true to us, now you either don't believe in our ancient ways or you don't, there's no room for false or make believe Indians,Christians can't stand what our ancestors believed in vnvhe Osceola.

I think you're a little confused by the video jadednyte. This video shows the community in Indian Island (Penobscots) teaching dances to the American Indian Dance Theater. The pow-wow dancers in the video are from the Dance theater as well as the stage performance at the end. Pretty proud comment, but you're misinformed and in the end your comment looks bad.

we did not lose our culture.
i live on the rez.
sure we have a few songs here and there from different tribes, but no international songs or influence. you dont know what ur talkin bout dude.
we have traditional outfits, songs, food, crafts on this place, ALL FROM THE PENOBSCOT CULTURE.
plus, the panawapskek landed on maine about 14, 000 years ago, and the plains and southwestern indians landed about 2000 years after, giving u more unforgotten knowledge. get ur story straight bud.

We have not lost all our cultur! for being the first native people to encounter Europeans,although alot has been lost like other tribes in North America, the Wabanaki(people of the dawn) community still holds onto our old traditional ways and fluency in our languages for the past 500 years, I would say thats pretty darn good and some Western tribes cant even say that so please do your research before judging so quickly

These Native Americans have lost thier culture. They blend local, regional and even international influence to create something. This is why I am proud to be Southwestern Indian. We are the few that gaurd and know our culture to the end. Although, I know someday we will end up like these people.

the words are instructions for which direction and how the ladies should dance within the song.

I don't know, but I really like the song. Maybe a Penobscot Native person would know, but I like the song and the dance. Tu'tu'was is the dance. |
