First Impressions on Native American Reservation - Flathead 🇺🇸

Thanks for watching! ► People's Food Sovereignty Program: bit.ly/3O1QHNw

As a Native American living in North Carolina all my life, we didn't grow up on a reservation, just a small town in one of the poorest counties in the state. I absolutely love how you visit various tribes and the reservations. I love seeing how similar/different life is growing up on a reservation verses a town.

Peter’s ability to get people of so many different backgrounds to open up to him is unparalleled.

I live 15 miles from the Flathead Reservation. I have lived by and traveled through the reservation for the last 40 years and I am sorry to say I haven’t tried to learn more about it. I see it differently now as a more beautiful, more spiritual and cherished place for the native people. Thank you for bringing the gift of awareness to your viewers. I will never see the Flathead Reservation the same again.❤

I lived there in Montana among the Salish Kootenai tribe in my teens to early 20 and I'm Dine (Navajo Tribe). I was treated like family and I'll never forget the wonderful memories I have there, such giving, friendly people.

I don't think most people realize how many native tribes there actually are. They only know what they have seen in movies. These are a proud, dignified people and learning that non-natives come to their land and leave trash behind is so disrespectful. Thank you Peter for an interesting look into the lives of this noble culture.

This series is SO needed just for the educational aspects alone. I believe there is DEEP HEALING that we as Americans need to go through and it starts with the different people groups who were here from the beginning. THANK YOU Peter for being bold and courageous seeking wisdom and insight and sharing with the world.

While living in Montana in the 90s I met different tribes that live there, Salish Kootenai, Blackfeet, and Bannock. I had so much fun living among them and I'm from the Dine tribe we come from Northern Arizona.

I live in the Flathead Valley and my wife is a white woman working to help the tribal people to buy homes and build them on there own land. There is alot more to her job but these videos are helping her so much to understand more about the people and there culture. She is extremely passionate about helping all the natives on any tribe with home ownership. It's beautiful to see.

You are recording history ❤ as it is god bless the Native American respect and solidarity from Ireland

I would watch an entire channel dedicated to visiting various native reservations. This is so great.

Wow. When he said “we are history in the making right now” that was so so powerful and an incredible and important perspective to hold.

I went with my Granddaughter to this reservation last Thanksgiving to meet her Yiah (great grandmother), grandfather, uncles, and to see where her people came from. She is part Salish and part Shoshone so she has a lot of family on the Flathead and Wind River. I will say when we drove up the hill and the Mission Mountains came into view on our way to see the Buffalo, it took my breath away. Gorgeous. It's a beautiful land.

As a non American, I love how you portray the beauty and diversity of the United States. It really is a beautiful place.

I hope all of America's First Nations People are successful in whatever they do. They've had most of their land taken from them, and they should be allowed to manage their own property and their own affairs as they see fit. Thanks for sharing this video.

I just recently discovered your channel & this series on Indigenous reservations is fascinating. Good for you for bringing to light the conditions that exist on the reservations.

Seeing the woman on the stairs in the park was such a surreal moment to catch on film. She seemed so happy to move into the area in contrast to what the group was talking about right before she arrived in frame.

Has anyone else noticed the common denominator with all the different Native American Tribes/Nations? They all work come together and work together to feed and care for the elderly, the widows, the sick..................they care for and take care of each other!!! Even the ones in Alaska on the island!!! I have always had the utmost respect for all Native Americans. How so many families can come together and live as one when it comes to caring for their community. The RESPECT for the lands and water ways! How they hunt only for food and have always been the caretakers of the earth and wildlife has always made me want to learn more about them. They have so much more knowledge in caring for and healing the land than anyone I have ever known. I know their knowledge has been passed down through many generations, and I am so glad that they continue to use that knowledge and pass it on to the next generation. I wonder how many people have ever thought of how they were able to not only survive but to prosper with the very minimalistic of tools and sheer brute strength through all seasons and catastrophic events. I wish there were something I could do to help them get their land, I think our country owes them that (and more).

I admire your ability to listen and attempt to understand different world views and perspectives without pushing a particular ideology onto people. I also appreciate that there is no garbage music playing when the people you encounter are talking. It's nice being able to listen to what is being said without useless distractions.

I grew up on the Flathead Reservation, went to SKC (Salish Kootenai College). I am so grateful for having had so many wonderful experiences there.
