* My mom is a registered member of the Blackfeet Nation; and this is how I look at it: that tribe or nation's origin story is the origin of their "soul" or cultural selves… not of their ape-animal bodies which evolved millennia ago in Africa. So, yes, in a spiritual symbolic sense they did come from a cave or Mother Earth or the star people…. but not in a literal scientific sense. We have to specify the two parts of being a human.
I’m Seminole and Lenape Native. I loved this episode and hope to get the chance to meet Joe if he checks out Indian country. I also believe in the story of the earth emergence. She mentions that this is just one origin story and that’s her way of saying this story tells of one group of people here. The presumptive nature of western science cannot will not and refuses to look into the alternative hypotheses that natives have always been here and retain stories that back this belief. I myself have stories of natives meeting dragon sized lizards emerging from the sea. Of glacial melts moving in and out of the continent that go back further than even origin story. Thank you so much for caring about ndns joe and having someone like her on the show. There’s a lot of problems with our communities and she was trying to cover all of them at once, props! Wanishi! Mvdo!
This lady is HIGH AS HELL!!
That’s Nanih Waiya in the thumbnail, the mother of the choctaws
She's not talking about a birth site. She's talking about a ceremony Natives have that's feels like rebirth. She's used the right words to explain. Joe dumped down the idea.
