Hi sea of curls I totally agree with you. My heart is so heavy for native Americans. All native Americans. . Since I was 6 or 7 in grade school is the first time I learned about the Manhattan Indians. I grew up in New Jersey. They used to take some of the Indian chiefs to our school. And when the stories were told about what the Europeans did especially about Thanksgiving it seems that they brainwashed us to think that it's okay for what we did to these native people. I don't like it at all not one bit. I actually think about it all the time. It's just wrong very wrong.

This is fascinating to compare with my experience living among the Cree Nation here in Northern Alberta. I am not Cree, I'm an immigrant, but have spent many years immersed in the culture of my dear friends. The reservations in the region are so small in comparison with the Navajo Nation, that everyone just about knows who lives in every house and of course knows everyone's business haha. It was so strange to realize that members of the same reserve can be strangers. With regards to spirituality, the Navajo beliefs are almost identical to what I have been taught and shown by the Cree here. The use of good and bad medicine and ultimate sacrifice of a loved one in exchange. This is believed here too and there are people who practise bad medicine, and allow their loved ones to die. It makes me a bit nervous seeing all these sacred teachings shared on KZfaq and even commenting. But it is clear that these young men come from a place of integrity, honour and respect. It's a great privilege to learn from them. Let's give something in return. Hiy hiy!

I saw how my Grandma and Grandpa lived. How they raised their eight children from what they could grow and what they could hunt. It was a hard, hard life. As kids we listened to their stories. I was in awe hearing about they way they lived. They survived two world wars, The depression. The dust bowl. They lived smack dab in Tornado ally. I'm 71 years old now. I tried to tell my children these stories just so they could have some appreciation of the ease of life they have, but they don't want to hear them. I've tried to pass the stories down to my grandchildren but they are young and aren't interested either. It makes me sad.

Thank you guys so much, Peter for the filming and Darwin for sharing all this with us. I'm in my 60s now, started reading everything "Indians" that I could get my hands on since I learnt to read age 6. My dad brought me books and we talked a lot about what I (and he himself) read. This was in rural early 1960s Bavarian alpine region. My friends sure thought me strange because of this fascination. I took notes from the books and had my own "archive" and truth be told I very often shed tears over the history of the Native Tribes. Watching this video and listening to Darwin, his respectful way of preserving his ancestors' legacy, the language, the culture, the spiritual world - that touched me deeply.

@annaraeellison3417 5 ай бұрын

@@bulldogsbob The best way I can explain it is that the skinwalker can also be called a 'wolfman' because a live person; what some people would call a witch doctor, the Navajos would probably say Shaman, would put on the skin of a wolf with the face attached so the person was looking through the eye holes of the wolf skin like a mask. They use a form of transcendental meditation to transport themselves to the person they were trying to intimidate. I knew it was a spirit/demon because I could see right through it. But I knew there was a real person involved because those human eyes would look angry at times or squinch their eyes together like they didn't want to hear what The Holy Spirit was saying through me. I had been on the reservation long enough to know what Navajo sounded like. So I could tell that what was coming out of my mouth was Navajo even though I didn't speak the language. As to the person above who said "It's a joke!" I don't know if you are referring to the show itself or the Skinwalkers the people on the show are trying to find. Yes, the show is a hyped up form of entertainment. It's hard to believe anyone would go to all that trouble if they weren't getting something out of it, like money. But in my Biblical view as a Christian, these Skinwalkers are demons under the direction of Satan himself. I understand why atheists and maybe agnostics, would have a different view. If you don't believe in a God or angels, then it makes sense that you don't believe in the devil or demons. But then, how do you explain the problem of evil? I hope this explanation helps.

@@petepenn1 we have some here(islands off BC Canada) that are 20 thousand years old. Some are under water and can only be seen when a extremely low tide happens. Edit- there are others that I grew up around on a small island and there was some that were up in the hills, not to sure who put them there? I’m speculating is was Māori that are part/connected to the Haida.

some of those are very old!! happy to hear the Navajo wanting to preserve the Anasazi. much respect. I would have loved to have seen the Aztec calendar. the influence from the south is evident throughout the southwest as it was connected via an ancient trade route to Mexico city. notable evidence is jade, macaw feathers, copal, sharpened teeth, etc... in the south west. it is going to drive me nuts for the rest of my life thinking about that calendar!!!

What is interesting is that I am Tlicho from the subarctic in the North West Territories in Canada. We have learned in the past few years that Tlicho & Navajo people are the same. We were divided because of a massive bear hunting us in the Arctic. (Not a polar bear, I forget the name), the tribe split up, some stayed in the North and some travelled South which are known as the Navajo people. Our dialects are the same, some traditions remained the same and there was even artifacts, to be more specific moccasins that were found within the Navajo area that came from Bison in the NWT way, way back when! It's very interesting. There was a Dene celebrating/meeting of nations a couple years ago in Edmonton Canada I believe with the Tlicho, Navajo and....Apache I believe? All very cool!

Here in Hawaii we too have medicine men and women. There are to types also: La'au lap'au (good) and ana'ana ( bad). In cultural history, there usually are. Love these videos. I see how close our Native Brothers and Sisters culture meld with ours. So sad the " Long walk" imagine men, women, children of the Navajo Nation had to walk up to 450 miles to New Mexico. I also learned about " The Trail of Tears" and the Cherokee Nation. So much senseless eradication of beautiful people. In Hawaii it was very close to the same. We support our Native Brothers and sisters. Aloha and Eo from Hawaii 🤙

Another banger Peter! I would love if you could cover the stories and history of Native Boarding schools, such as the one I grew up near in Hochatown, OK called Weelock Mission. In my youth, I've experienced many 'not normal' energies in that place, because a LOT of bad things were happening at the boarding school. It has a very twisted oral history indeed. I would love to learn what other tribes had to endure during that period as well. Weelock, in particular, was a boarding school for Choctaw Native girls from 1842, closed 1955.

Watching this brought back memories of watching the struggle between the Navajo people and the Peabody mining company in the 90s. I had to quit looking into it as it was so depressing to hear about the abuse of the land and people with no help from the government. I actually remember a group taking the abuse before the United Nations where it was declared that America was criminal in its abuse of native people. I Googled Black Mesa today and saw that the Peabody mining operation was shut down there in 2005. So glad to hear it and from what I am hearing in part on this video, the government is to some extent, stepping up to the plate to make amends. Here in Canada, we also have a lot to atone for with our native people although there is still a long way to go for both Canada and the United States.

I’ve been to the Navajo nation numerous times. There’s something so very spiritual and gentle in their presence and the Four Corners. Chaco being the most life changing experience for me. Please find out what they think happened to the Ancient ones. I’ve been told it is disrespectful to call them Anasazi. Thank you so much for doing this. I’m so grateful to know things are improving. It was very heartbreaking to see how some live without electric and water. Their land is spectacular. Canyon de Chelly and into the Southern Ute too. Hovenweep, Mesa Verde, Shiprock. Thank you. I’m so glad he touched on the Uranium too. You should investigate that more. Especially what happened outside Durango, CO. I would love if you would also ask them what they think about the dams on the Colorado River and whether they need to come out. How much mining has destroyed the upper and lower Colorado. We need to listen to our Native people they know how to care for the earth.

I'm Native American myself. The reservation I live on was established by a Native American who's biological parents were killed in the late 1800s as a kid. But he was adopted by an Italian man. This man made sure the kid was raised and never forgotten his Native heritage. When the kid grew up, he was a college graduate. I also enjoyed the movie Killers of the Flower Moon which was directed by an Italian guy who showed what really happened to the Osage tribe during the 1920s. Robert De'Niro also part Italian even donated money to a movie called Thunderheart. Which was about what Native Americans went through with the Federal government in the 70s. It's pretty awesome to see how supportive Italians are with Native Americans. You guys will always have a special place amongst my people. Blessings to yours.
