Bottom line though? The popular narrative of what occurred in this confrontation is inaccurate

49:55 Its hard to tell but I think the Black Israeli group has sensed it's losing it's audience and begin moving in closer to the MAGA kids. The Narrator at least is doing his best to be provocative. I have no love for the MAGA movement, but this is inexcusably looking for a fight at this point. The kids look amused or bemused depending.
Around 1:00 it's become noticable that the Black Israelites have an entire ring around them of people interested, and are galvanized further by the attention. Now to be fair, there is also someone on a hoverboard in close proximity, which just kind of makes the whole thing rather surreal and could also be helping draw the crowd. Some are angry, most are just...amused.
Around 1:08 the crowd starts chanting something back. If anyone wants to clarify it for me, that'd be nice.
1:10 some kid from the MAGA kid crowd darts down to the main pavillion to cheers and proceeds to strip off his upper clothes, to much cheering. I think they just gave a school team cheer?
1:12 the crowd is really starting to thicken to the right. At this point Nathan (The native american tribal leader) has come up from the right and put himself and small group of people between the Black Israelites and the MAGA kids. While this is happening some sort of chant/cheer is being lead here where the MAGA kids are getting more energized.
As the drumming continues, the MAGA kids start circling around him, but I can''t really tell if they're mocking him, or just really into the drumming mixed with the chanting. It kinda has the same absurd energy as a pep rally.
It 'could' be construde by 1:14 that they're doing some parody of Native American chanting. From the Narrator's view, the kids have entirely surrounded Nathan.
