The ancestors of Treffery Deerfoot have long had a deep connect with the land they call home in Alberta, Canada. Treffery is a member of the Black Foot Confederacy, a group of aboriginal Americans that were once nomadic bison hunters across the northern Great Plains of Western North America.

    The more I learn of my family past the more I realize why I feel the way I do and the things I understand its a feeling of your existence to want to protect everything

    I'm Anishinawbe that was adopted by Blackfoot folk, save my worthless life! It really fills my heart hearing their teachings and the accent it comes with! If I'm around them long enough my accent changes too...😎

    Hi Vagabrothers, Thanks so much for this video. With all that is in the news right now, especially political hype/tripe which could persuade people in a wrong direction, I truly believe we need more of your videos OUT and out everywhere and a lot! This sends the mind "thinking" all by itself and helps bring balance. The video allows the soul to reach the brain. In this day and age that is often difficult but more necessary than ever. Thank you again and keep it coming but more frequently and would you please send it to other areas, I.e. The View, The Talk, Wendy Williams, Ellen Degenarist, CBS News, CNN, EVERYWHERE so people can connect with their true basic heritage and their souls. We are sitting on a time bomb right now and we need help. You can be a huge catalyst to help our country.
