Spirit of the Trees: People of the Cedar (Northwest tribes)

Cherokee here. We must honor and keep all native tradition alive for the future generations. 🙏

"An understanding that the forest is a place where The Creator is known and felt"(1:20). For me...truer words can not be spoken.

I hated to cut my trees just to have a road, I cried. But I'll talk to the trees to rebuild again.

Even as a child I´ve felt a deep connection, even a longing, for the indigenous ways of living: their living with nature, having that deep connection to it, honoring and preserving it. There is so much we, the so called "civilized" world, could learn from them, if only we were willing. Especially that weaving is so utterly amazing and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this. And my heart-felt apologies for everything that has been and unfortunately still is being done to you and your ways of living. Thank you for keeping your wisdom alive - and that you are willing to share it - inspite of all the hardship.

The host of this was just lovely. The natives who continue to practice ancient methods of weaving are incredible. I hope these skills never get lost. ❤

Mmm “…the way we treat Mother Earth, is how we’re going to experience life in the future.” Beautiful video thank you for inspiring me to continue building relationship with those around me

As a Tsimshian/Athabaskan this makes me feel so proud.

I can’t help but think that this is some of the most Beautiful weaving I’ve ever seen!!! As I get older and research so many cultures and beliefs I’m am ever saddened how today’s world continues to wipe away our true connection with the Creator 😢

I like when the Carver says my boys sing and they dance and they drum. He is showing his boys a life filled with meaning and purpose. Absolutely wonderful...

Keep fighting for your ways and the right relationship you have with our beautiful earth. Much respect.

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the show. My husband’s mother’s family is from CA. Her dad’s side was Native American. I hope that our country will start to teach more of the knowledge you have past down. The basketry, clothing, wood carving are all talents that need to be taught to future generations of Americans and people of the world. There needs to be classes taught in all states. All tribes should share their history, way of life, the skills unique to them.

I think I was shown this in high school. God have mercy for the abominable treatment the indigenous nations endured and are enduring. I shed many tears.

I've a humangas cider tree and at the worst times in my life i used it to throw knives and darts but a acient native American spriutal begin came into my house and and seeing this made me realized my INGRONCE was his purpose. I've a small amount of native American in me but I'm a old 4th and 12th cavalry but the native American was humble in trusting a spriutal animal to guide them and trusting thier grandparents more than acient scribes.of scripture .they didn't make the 7 wonders but every thing was made by their own hands and not command by others

The cedar painted with the images of the raven, killer whale, salmon, bear and moon made me weep. Just beautiful.

The "Rainbow Warriors" are teaching, with much more patience than we can ever imagine, the Warriors from Around the World who stand with The Creator and ALL Living Things to teach and prepare for a time of great need.

Thank you for sharing your story, history and lives with all of us … I wish the word would follow your way 💞🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing your culture and wisdom with us.✨💫

Thank you for this... These words are just everything! Gill;Dx can we please all take note. They speak our childrens concerns. Every single word and sentiment! This is a Global matter. much love and deepest respect

Thank you very much for posting this series for all to see. It saddens me to see how few views most all of these in this series has recieved. Especially after 5 years. They have been beautifully put together and yield much wisdom and knowledge. It is my hopes that we all one day wake up as a collective people to save what little is left. The cynic in me says that is unlikely, time will tell I suppose. Too busy chasing fools gold. Anyways, I digress. Many many thanks, I really appreciate all the hard work that went into making and distributing this work. Take care
