Inside the Indian Reservation Where People Go Missing

I’m a native decented, I can take you to another tribe in North Dakota. I lost my step mom, my auntie, my uncle and another uncle all in the span of a couple years

Wow! Congrats to the big guy that went from 800lbs to 300. That’s amazing and I’m happy he made 70 years old and still sharing his knowledge and his story!

shout out to grandma sandra and her positive outlook, as well as her hospitality

I am so glad you made this video! I am a native indigenous Plains Cree lady from Saskatchewan, Canada.
We have the same issues over here…especially with our reserves.

Multi-generational trauma is a huge issue for all First Nations Indigenous peoples.. i recommend a really educational movie you should watch about residential schools. It’s called “We Were Children”.
It really shows the raw, real hardships that native children had to endure.

When he said “I asked my grandma about it and she went quiet” it really hit hard.. that’s the case for my grandparents, as-well as thousands of others. 😢

Thank you, you have a beautiful soul. ❤

With how many different stories from so many different backgrounds I don’t think Tommy will ever run out of videos

Iam Native American and I have been waiting for you to drop one of these videos much love bro

Thanks for this video. I’m Anishinaabe from Wisconsin and live down here in Phoenix. I don’t get to see much of my native relatives down here because they are different tribes and sometimes it feels like we don’t have much in common so it’s nice to hear about them and their tribe. Back home on my Rez we have murders left and right. People dying of over doses all the time. Through 2016-2018 it seemed like I lost a family member every month to murder or suicide or overdose. It’s such a huge problem in Indigenous communities. It’s one of the reasons I got sober. I been sober for 9 years. Thanks for highlighting our people!

I Am A Young 15 Year Old Native American From Warm Springs Indian Reservation In Oregon, I Like How People Like Tommy G Comes To These Places & Learn about The Natives & Community, It Would Be Cool To Get Our Reservation Out There On YouTube

the last guy was very genuine and i wish we had more people who spoke like him, much love tommy thank you for sharing this experience.

As a Hidatsa (Three Affiliated Tribes) and Lower Brule Sioux person and Addiction counselor, I appreciate your sensitivities and for covering this issue! Much love to my brothers and sisters in Gila River!

I am Lakota Sioux and we are on the poorest reservation. We have nothing like this tribe. Our grandma’s, elders and children are in abject poverty. It is beyond sad. My favorite photo of my mother is her at maybe age 8 with thick beautiful braids. The next photo is at white man school her braids are gone and so is the light from her eyes. They killed the Indian spirit in her. I just cried. She never spoke of those days.until she was walking on (dying). The horror stories still haunt me. The black robes (priests) beat them with the Black Book (bible). . ❤️🙏🌹

I am now in PNW near Yakama Rez. I hold ceremony & sweat with them. Very friendly happy tribe. Our rez is in SD. I always make the fry bread. It’s my great-grandmother’s recipe. I use bison for my native tacos. Yummy!

I absolutely love how you provoke thought & emotion with some of your questions, especially when you use scenarios that you know will really make people think deeply & understand things from someone else’s point of view.

Love from Upper Sioux Community! Tommy G thank you so much for speaking on boarding schools. My great grandmother was a victim and its frustrating when people act like we aren't feeling the consequences of it to this day

Thank you for shedding light on our natives and the struggles they go through , growing up in cali just a couple of miles from the Rez, my best friend who lived there Roma disappeared and was never found. Idc what anyone says, if you’re an American you care about ALL of our people and Tommy is truly showing all sides.

Tommy, you’re such a great story teller, but an even greater listener. Thank you for taking the time to let those you interview speak freely and respecting them. Thank you also for preserving these stories and sharing a new perspective.

I lived adjacent to the Gila River Reservation in Scottsdale for 13 years. I didn’t know missing indigenous members of the reserve were missing or killed.
It’s troubling that so many people don’t hear about them, not even from local tv stations. Troubling.

Just stumbled upon your channel in my recommended. I think Tommy is the very different from other Youtubers in a good way. ❤

I’m also Native American (Aztec) and I wanted to thank you for documenting and bringing awareness to our struggle! We all need to come together to solve our worldwide problems. Thank you again! A’ho!

I randomly found you on YouTube. Watched for the entertainment, came back for the vibes, and this video made me a subscriber. I’m Mexican and hella proud. Loved this video

I am a conservative, and I have been watching your videos all day on my day off I like how you cover things without a political lens. And with such compassion, you’re a very smart dude and your personality is what allows you to do such a good job and your education.. thanks for doing this. This is what we need to bring community back together.
