Thank you for sharing. We envisions to have “Treaty” with the First Nation of Mindanao i.e. recognition of Native Title the soonest. We salute role model of New Zealand, Australia, Canada & America and soon the Philippines.

It's interesting to see that you've included part of a song by Buffy St. Marie after her exposure as a pretendian. As a non-Native, I'm of two minds about her, since throughout her long career she did a lot of good for North American Indigenous people.

Try reaching out to Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. regarding the old fashion hand cursive writing. He does a lot of ancestry research, and if I'm correct, he's been able to date documents back to probably the 1690s. He may be able to refer you to someone as well.

I don’t like Biden, being a city Native and seeing what the globalist agenda was doing to destroy the country even worse.This man absolutely deserves to be free though, He is a Hero .

Please stop referring to Native Americans as Indians. America is a Nation that extends from Alaska to the tip of South America. And there are no U.S.American Indians. That's just another page of the same Indian story they want us to follow as truth and facts. Thank you posting this video it is very helpful to the cause.

Don’t fall into lies. You are not Indians. Indians live in India on the other side of the world. You are ABYA-YALAN’s. American Indians is a misnomer. Even the name America is a fraud.
