Awesome!!

Peter make it out to El Paso Tx…. Tigua Indians The Tigua (Tiguex, Tiwa, Tihua) Indians of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo of El Paso are descendants of refugees from the Río Abajo or lower Rio Grande pueblos who accompanied the Spanish to El Paso on their retreat from New Mexico during the Pueblo Revolt of 168

Good stuff! I hope you talk with the other tribes in the area too. You should also go into NM to all the different Pueblos, they different than other rezs. You can also cover the history of the public revolt and how it shaped the southwest. For example, there was a lot of available Spanish horses after ward, which allowed the Comanche to form and rise to power.

He seems like a really good sheriff.

wow such a great sheriff ..

Dude, he is doing an INTERVIEW. I didn't hear him once talk about the Rights Of The People, just that he works for them. Them Who?

Basque here, same thing.

Wouldn't call them unbaised

Well said

Keep in mind the various tribal police and local LE jurisdictions can vary greatly, where I am from tribal and sheriff both have total LE authority on both sides of the border, tribal officers come off the reservation to answer an emergency call if they are closest and vice versa. Then there is Oklahoma which has a completely different tribal forms of government.

Inspirational - great choice of words.

He sounds like what all law enforcement should aspire to.

I've known him since he was 10 years old. He has always been that quality of person.

Does anyone know what gun he is carrying? Im from germany and pretty curious about the fact that he dresses sort of like an undercover cop (without the jaket and so on but i guess u get what im sayin). Is it a modern 1911 o.O

He won me over mentioning Parnelli Jones

@@russrh Yeah. My dad once asked why I was driving like Parnelli Jones... Well, it is our name! ;)

AZ is full of them. I love living in the great state of AZ.

The way I've looked at it is that the police should be treated as first responders, not law enforcement. Enforcing laws and arresting people is part of the job, sure, but should also be about being part of the community, help people stay out of trouble in the first place, be the person on the road that's first to get to any emergency.

@@monty58 The government isn't here to be your councilor or parent you.

@@refugeehugsforfree4151 correct, it's there to collect taxes, and use those taxes to hire people to do that

@@monty58 Um no it is not.

Each tribe has interesting history with US

Thank you for sharing ❤ Sending much love and respect!

I think lot of the crime comes from lack of trust for authorities, which is pretty understandable given the history. So if someone is stealing from you maybe you don't want to call the police because the police might make the situation worse. But if the stealing is really bad you will go out yourself to confront the thieves and that can lead to murder. And no one wants to be a witness and testify in court because they don't trust the courts so the criminals never get convicted, but sometimes the criminals get taken care of a different way and that gets counted as crime too. Plus law enforcement gets the hint when no one wants to cooperate so they stop taking the job seriously.

The bad rep the p0lice get is because of the lying .media.

I would have done the same thing, it had to stop somewhere and people need to be held accountable, my boyfriend that I met in the late 70's, Boulder Colorado, Steven Platero, full Navajo, was down on the rez visiting family, late night driving through the rez, stopped picked up a hitch hiker who then murdered him for 20 dollars and his boots, his own people😢😢broke my heart, I would have been married to him that fall but he never came back, it made the headlines of the Boulder daily camera newspaper because he was so loved and involved as an activist, sad sad sad, I'll wear braids today in his honor ❤❤😢

Yeah… Sheriffs department is very intimidating. I’m in Bernalillo county. Close to the Isleta rez.

Mr Koda, 99% of the cities in the Republic could use a Sheriff, Chief of Police like him

The sheriff did a great job representing and speaking on behalf of the Navajo People. Veda too, the lady who offered the Frybread is a nice lady who works to encourage Navajo Votes to the State and Tribe. @PeterSantenello, hope you could spend a good amount of time on the Navajo Nation to get it’s FULL perspective from within all Four Directions. Welcome to Dinetah, and remember to be respective of our ways and traditions. Life’s tough, but this is home and where WE as Dine come from.

The sheriff of McKinley County which sits right next to a lot of the Navajo Nation is a member of the Navajo nation

It's hard to get a good sheriff anywhere! And it's refreshing to see one who really loves his job and the people he works for.

Well said

Amen!!!❤

@C B. I recall learning a little (came of age in the 80s) but nothing about who has jurisdiction where etc. Just vague stuff. I've learned more from youtube vids like this, History Channel etc than in school. Our kids could too.. better than common core etc

Back when I was a kid we did learn stuff like this in public school.Public schools have gone to shit in the city. Just gonna get worse

@@greggd2027 exactly, Im Native and I work on a reservation where we bring in non tribal workers which is fine except alot if not most of them have no idea about tribal sovreignty. Which can get frustrating.

Thank you for your service

You must be tough as hell just to live in that part of the US and to live off that land. That is a rough territory. Hat's off to you.

I remember this show ran by a female comedian (Sarah Bee?) She asked a Native Police Chief if she won't be arrested by him if she punches him or his grandmother He said yes. That's how fucked up the US legal system is

I am so sorry😢...you feel the need

Thank you for your service! Happy 4th of July, Veteran!!! ❤🇺🇸

You are a pretty lady 😘

yeah on a global scale

Law enforcement is usually nice when they don't have an excessive number of 13% committing 52% of the local violent crime.

Yup, I used to be an OTR owner op driver and i can say the same, the Navajo people are so nice.

That would be a nice run.

Not really, most Navajo are very quiet/stoic, even sullen. Hopi on the other hand are quite friendly and out-going.

Eh, I experienced a lot of racism while living there and going to school

We visited a few years ago. We met some very nice people and learned a lot of their culture. My teenage children said we could learn a lot from the Navajo people.

Wow that’s fascinating

Second this!! Would be so interesting

Lol no way would they do that

@@PaintballBoyeah, it’s not so much of a special unit as it is the guys who aren’t superstitious or scared of skinwalker stories

There are incredibly interesting documentaries out there relating to the specialist unit of two who investigate any incidents related to the paranormal... 🇿🇦

There is a certain belief in what is really important, that certain folks are very sensitive to. Been watching the Marine Corp lately, very impressed ... and seems quite natural that the Diné would have similar understanding and awareness as you. Many thank you's for your Service. We The People know.

Thank you for your service sir

I live in Tuba City and yeah they’re very proud of military service.

Former Navy. After I got out I actually worked with a Navajo sailor on active duty named Wind Talker. No bs. That was his lineage, and it was very surreal.

Thank you for your service sir.

It’s because he’s not a steroid head like Al other cops

Amen

The Navajo code talkers we’re true hero. Very hard working people and whole care for other. Sugar beets and spuds bring back some serious memories

@hildayellow Thanks for sharing a part of your life story. From what I understand about the the boarding schools in US and Canada, they were designed specifically to take the culture away from the children. What was your experience, if I may ask?

@@silla-je9od I do remember clearly, after school all the girls put their stuff away. Then go in the living room until it’s supper time. While waiting. A lot of us girls forget not to talk Navajo at all. It was hard because it’s in our nature that we just talk a lot in Navajo. The Dormitory Aides would yell out “English only!!!” At the time I was like WHY!!! as I got older. My older brothers were talking about it. I had no idea that we were like to change our way and do away with our language. Comparing to this day and back in the boarding school days the teachers and Dormitory Aides were were very cruel and they even use a long ruler and slammed it across our skinny fingers. Now days it’s considered child abused. These incidents I do remember clearly. Oh! Also I do remember 3 boys ran away during the very cold harsh winter and at night. If I remember right just with their pajamas on. No coats, Up into the mountains. They were found. And parts of their body were amputated. It was even on the news. They were all brothers too.

That sounds hard but so beautiful and worth it. What a nourishing life. Thank you for sharing that. I grew up in Cleveland Ohio and it's just depressing. Concrete and greed. I'd love to take my family and just live off the land. So much purpose in life that way. Cities are toxic in every way.

and the lady under the blue tent with the bean juice what a sweetheart.....

do you mean shes black?> no such thing as African American, nor Asian American.. .all the same.

@@grantglow4206 yes black

Thank you for sharing. What is your feeling about using app & web based role models from successful tribal members across the U.S. For example, there is a very successful tribe in Virginia. They should be serving as online mentors & role models for other tribes. Your thoughts?

I'm Black and Navajo! Afro Native Pride💯✊🏾

@dontaedavis-hooed102 That is different it seems that generally it’s the male who is black and the female white, hispanic or native. Did you experience a lot of prejudice as a mixed race child? Where I am, there is a fair amount of prejudice between black people and native people. Not sure why. I don’t know know about anyone else, but to me it did not seem as if the sheriff really wanted to discuss missing native women.

SO ! It was the Fry Bread. Gonna have to make a note. We have Sopapillas here in NM. Also habit forming, tortillas fried in oil, eaten with local honey, yum. What you said about learning of respecting differences is totally awesome, and something that would be so good for all peoples everywhere. Bless you for that Lyle.

I've only been a couple of times and, as I didn't have much knowledge of the customs, I just tried to be as warm and respectful as possible. I was blown away at how well I was treated. Actually walked in to a little restaurant where I was the only white guy. Got a lot of looks. And then I had a fun little interaction with a kid and I was "OK" immediately. It was a trip.

Lyle.......to be Man Enuff to recognize the Truth. AND Own it.. Refreshing

Alot of us Navajos have a natural 'resting b**** face', we don't mean anything by it lol. And some Natives have never left the rez so mannerisms can vary from person to person lol.

@@loreleivixen It's true 🇨🇦

If you do return, I hope you are an inspiration to your Cherokee brothers and sisters. It sounds like you have lived a respectable life and probably have some life lessons to pass along to some youngsters.

Hello Fellow Oklahoman! I Moved out to western Oklahoma 30 years ago from Florida at age 17. My Girlfriend is 1/4 cherokee and 1/4 Cheyenne/Arapaho. I hope you make it back here to Oklahoma soon.

No one cares about you being a native.... When the Europeans came here we had to deal with numerous tribal warfare and essentially develop the land at the same time. We also had to educate numerous tribes as they had little to no education. This is not your land and has not been your land for a long time.. get used to it. Tribes used to have wars with one another and take land from one another.. the fact that Europeans coming here and doing it is seen as some sort of determent is racist.. just saying. Now if you tell me Tribes never fought for land and never too land from one another ill retract my statement.. otherwise... Native Americans were way to primitive in their societal views to ever control this continent. Natives were way too busy fighting each other to actually build a proper society here. White man was able to bring peace to this continent all we had to do was pretty much take the local wildlife and put them into reserves to stop them from killing one another and causing massive issues. You may disagree with me but history is history for a reason. This land is more mine than it is yours as I am a descendant of a pioneer. Someone that came here and took this land from you by force for me. Not the other way around. Giving natives special rights is weird IMO as you lost the war and lost the land. You do not own this land nor should you have any special rights to it. We give you special rights because what? You were thousands of years behind us technology wise when we came and absolutely spanked your hilarious gene pool? Sorry not sorry lol... I mean my ancestors were hit with the largest plague... still managed to progress further than multiple tribes with a lot larger of a population.. lol... sooo.. fucking superior.. im sorry... can't really help but state that Native Americans are very inferior to the rest of the world due to their inability to progress technologically on their own. It is absolutely hilarious to know that Native Americans came from China... but the Chinese managed to out progress them lol.

Little Big Horn is a good 1 as well

My dad wss in WWII also but he was Cherokee. Since he died 3 days before my 5th birthday, I never got to know much about him. I always wanted to know if he had met and talked with the code talkers lol. I love the movie Code Talkers with Nicolas cage, Adam Beach, Christian Slater. My favorite character was Charlie Whitehorse. I love the flute music especially but also drums. Where I live now, close to te Cumberland Falls, there is a Cherokee man that plays the flute. Beautiful as it floats out over the misty water. My ancestors broke away from The Trail of Tears and ran to the woods and caves to escape. I really like to hear about all the cultures and how they live.

tatanka - same.

I love Wally!

Definitely Navajo language it sounds beautiful!!!

In World War II, American intelligence agents communicated in Navajo so that the enemy couldn't understand them.

@@Ian-nl9yd yup! The great thing is that there were no words for things like airplane, submarine, platoon, Germany, etc in Navajo, so it was not only in Navajo but also in code on top of that. Germans were "Iron Hats", different planes were different birds, etc.

"Navajo Code Talkers! " We've lost so many of these great men lately. All over Arizona, we celebrate these great Veterans!

awesome Most people have never heard of the "code talkers."

@@KillerCuddles-fc6kg They should see the movie 'Wind Talkers' with Nicholas Cage lol

That is pretty neat

Navajo code talkers we're a critical reason why our enemies had such a hard time cracking our secret codes when we were able to crack theirs

A crow said the same thing a while back on this channel that they were, I dunno..

@@TheAnnoyingBoss Tried to meet a code talker while I was there but he wasn’t feeling well the day of a Powwow is was scheduled to attend.

USA taxpayers citizens do care. We need the facts. Your comment to me .... their is a way. Can you explain ? Perhaps it is best for you to remain silent as you are not an American Native Indian.

What are the current problems: 1. Drugs. 2. Corrupt tribal leaders 3. Gangs 4. Being in the middle of nowhere. 5. Poor federal supervision of funds etc. Please add subtract.

I wondered about the Sheriff's respect for the Tribal regulations on masking. In the market he had a mask on 4:11 but it didn't cover his nose. At the Chapter House / Senior Center the tribal members were all masked 17:02 but the Sheriff was not. How do you think tribal members might have interpreted that?
