“We don’t own the land, we belong to it”. What an important and world changing idea, if only every human on earth could feel that same love and connection to the earth. I feel as if once you loose your connection and spiritually with Mother Earth, you loose your feeling of purpose and you feel as if you’re separate/different from every other living thing.

I am so happy for the Pueblo Nations. I hate that they went through so much suffering and struggles that it seemed pointless and hopeless for them, but it was not. I believe that you are the victors to have endured what you experienced and still be proud of your culture and history today. You are a strong and a beautiful people.

Speechless ... This video should be shared with everyone living in New Mexico! This should be mandatory to watch in every school in NM!

It was always such a special offering to my "History of New Mexico" course at Santa Fe Community College (2004-2009) to take two class sessions to present this excellent documentary. Usually there were a few students who came from nearby pueblos, such as Tesuque and Santa Clara, who provided their own oral traditions in describing events affecting their ancestors' lives: the arrival of Europeans, the Pueblo Revolt, and the influence of the Catholic Church in their various observations were some of those. The addition of these Pueblo histories told by people who lived the distinct lifestyle of this native group enriched the story told in "Surviving Columbus".

Hopi brother here Love my Pueblo nation WARRIORS

I am Tiwa Piro Manso from Guadalupe pueblo, and am so PROUD of all my pueblo peoples. This should be made general knowledge to all New Mexicans.

I am so glad they went underground and kept thier own culture . Living with mother earth and thier ancestors.

It’s amazing how much of your history resembles our history and just to think ; the common denominator was the white man and religion 😪 Im learning about my history as an African American. And there is no American history without native indigenous history . I have learned so much from this video and I plan to continue to seek the truth . The truth will set us free. 🤙🏾

I am very glad to have been exposed to this documentary. Thank you for this, New Mexico PBS.

more people need to see this

this is vital history for understanding todays sociopolitical climate

We can only imagine the ruthlessness and viciousness that the first nation people suffered back then… keep ancestors in your memory and hearts and keep language an traditions alive…

We were meant to live with our earth and everything in it.

You can kill my body You can damn my soul For not believing in your God or some world down below We shall live again We shall live again (Robbie Robertson)

THANK YOU FOR ENDURING AND BLESSING US ALL WITH YOUR BEAUTY

This sickens me. The debt will be paid. They won't escape what they did to those beautiful loving people. I truly believe that 🙏 💔🌏✌️

Unfortunately, the Natives were in possession of Gold, silver, land and a very large population of cheap labor.... The Gold and silver ended up in the cathedrals as pretty decor that embellished the European sculpture and art work....All of it soaked in blood. 💔

Excellent presentation.

Amazing

Marvelous overview

beautiful, this is what the Grateful Dead are trying to communicate when they are really in the groove

Premiered on PBS on Monday October 12, 1992.

hello does this video have information on the pueblo revolt of 1680?

Highly Intelligent people creating a philosophical structure to deal with realty...Sounds beautiful ...Truth is,only Coping mechanisms to endure nature's cruelties..Just as Christianity dose..

❤❤❤ I love that they have this on youtube now

Wow.

BLESS YOU ALL XXX

I grew up near the “Sherman Institute “+ made friends w rez “students” ducking the BIA goons joining the circle of teenage local white kids passing a smoking joint around. They always laughed when I tried to repeat a word in their native language they were forbidden to speak and this longhaired hippy kid always made sure the green $10 baggie was filled up to the top. My new friends knew where I hung out. Today it’s now an Indian trade high school that’s voluntary and I look foreword to the pow wow each spring as there’s many both on and off the rez. There’s still elders teaching a few young people the traditional living and keeping the spiritual pathways alive😎

My great grandfather, Pablo Abeita, appears at about 1:30:10 in the film under the discussion of loss and recovery of Pueblo lands. If you'd like to see more of Pablo Abeita you can go here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rph_pcxj277Dhnk.html

Just the tone of his voice is soul healing.

This is a beautiful film. Though, I wish it was translated into different languages so that it can reach more people.

This video is really awesome, and informative ,,, I really love it, However why do you play the background music so loud ? It covers up the narrator, have you ever actually listened to one of your own broadcast ? it's a shame that you take away from such a beautiful presentation!

Christopher Columbus and his pals were absolutely savages!

God Bless my dears ❤️❤️❤️🌈☀️😘💞

Excellent documentary! Never forget...

Everyone will know the ultimate truth when the Indian people are shown to be the chosen few . They are the true meek at heart , and they shall inherit their earth ( again ) . She will be returned to the ones who respected her. Mother Earth.

Abolish "The Doctrine of Discovery".

And we think Hitler was evil? He looks like an angel compared to what Catholicism, "exploration", missionaries and the United States government have done to these Native American Peoples. I am so sorry this was allowed to happen.

But what people don't talk about, is that the Native Americans were not all spiritual, Kind people. Some tribes in Texas were cannibals, and the Native Americans were warring with each other. The whole Human race must evolve spiritually and become who we are meant to be.

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL NATIVE AMERICANS & AMERICANS I am a white American with pure English blood line with name Craft and I am not proud of the past and my family did not participate in the extension of the Native Americans and I do not like what I see for the future. I pledge to you I will spend my time and energy to teach the American people that until the country as a hole Pay the native Americas back with Land and money this country can not progress any further. Did you know that in the 1960 when the Cuban's came to Florida the government payed them $800.00 mo. for every man, woman, child, child, child, grama. granpa, aunt and uncle.in the house hold. this is back when you could buy Volkswagen bug for $3.000. They bought cars, homes, and businesses they built little Havana in Miami and they are very wealthy Americans now and you never hear about them being poor and run down. Time to give you what your due Land & Money A CALL TO ALL AMERICANS MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR COUNTRY SOLE. AS A COUNTRY WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BEGENNING AND CORRECT OUR FORFATHERS FIRST MISTAKE. UNTILL WE CORRECT THIS THERE IS NO WAY THIS COUNTRY CAN MOVE FORWARD IN AN HONORABLE WAY. If you Think about it logically We are The guest of the Native American People. MR.CRAFT

🇨🇱🕯️🤠

Agreed

Language is the first thing they make sure you forget and therefore your culture. Bainwashing with religious DOGMA is next. I left religion. Spirituality is the only way for me.

What is good is bad and what is bad is good nothing happened for no reason everything have a purpose have a reason!!!

Thank you forproviding this real history.I wish that it would be shown in schools.There is so much heartbreak that we all need to feel.

Thankyou for expanding my knowledge and understanding of southwest Indian culture ad history. Outstanding docu!

1:17:34 What a beautiful human💙🤎🧡❗

Columbus never set foot in North America .

Pinion Trees Auntie you had me at that when i was a kid. I would eat them

This should be on a station everyone can get and made to watch . Too much is hidden , and why does any one person Ever think they have the right to (Own ) another human being . So much wrong in a world who thinks they're right ....

Laguna in da house!

I hope my crypto Sephardi Jewish farming ancestors were respectful to the the First Nation People. They were in the first expedition from Mexico City at beginning of the 1600’s. They came to be in north east corner of New Mexico.

I believe genocide is as much a part of human history as is evolution itself. For better or worse, death begets life. If we ever reach a place where death can be accepted with kindness we will have found paradise or....!

I can't believe you still celebrate catholic practices and would be a great shame, and terrible times.the only way for mankind to survive is is to adopt the indigenous peoples ancient ways. Because mother earth will be fine without us humans. I just hope that the new world that emerges, is one of peace and love. With the memories of violence and war, stripped out of all people's minds forever and ever. Kerry Grant luvs mother earth and not pludoctats fracking narssistic psyopathic autocrats.

The Spanish that were Jewish were kicked out of Spain and they scattered. The dance in this video looks very Hebrew.

very sad

I used to hear hopi lived n texas area. Was founded. Yet it's true

The way the government treated the native people’s is the biggest reason I have such contempt for it. I hope that those who were involved with the murders of a race of people will have to answer to GOD for such treacherous acts.

we have destred a owol culture does that make you feel goood

Surviving the CON-Quest

I talk to June bugs.

I am NANBE OWINGEH.

🙂🙂🙂🆒️

Descendants of Columbus? Lol Most Americans are from North and Middle Europe not Southern Europe.

Thank you so much for this very wonderful and informative video! To the young Taos Indian woman, and this is from a person who has Indigenous Indians in her lineage as far back as the early 18th century: I, who am nothing, would better believe you if your name was (changed) to reflect your Native American roots. I saw repeatedly “American” names, so why not change the name/s? To the older woman (Mary) talking about the Protestant person coming to the door with a music box, no, Mary, you who are Indian, and possibly Catholic DOES NOT MAKE YOU KNOW, OR UNDERSTAND GOD better. Your statement actually was un-christened.

Chaco predated Navajo. It’s a satellite depot of the aztec. Meeting place. They went as far as Washington. By the time Athabaskan’s came in there wasnt much left. Brick layers came from Atlantis or moi. It’s evident. I’m of Athabaskan and Aztecs decent and a stone mason. The rocks will tell you the true story. Read between the sedimentary lines.

Why no talk of your Filipino roots ? Why no talk of the Conquistadors shipping your forefathers into Mexico ?

Those canes mean nothing to the American government

I have the utmost reverence and respect for all the native nations in this country but there are a few problems in this outdated video. There were no peaceful nations on this continent... The archeology of the southwest including Chaco canyon is full of destruction phases and even cannibalism. Let's study history but let's not mold it into what we want it to have been. War with the neighbors was just a fact of life.

So basically you’re saying your grandma says you were spiders who came out of the ground and evolved into humans? These stories are one sided told poetically by old women. Catholicism is not Christianity

No one died...,everyone is alive...Lord Will bring everyone back❤️❤️❤️🌈🌟God Bless my dears 🔥🙏💞😘

Peaceful? The Pueblo were wiped out by Navaho. Ute hate there neighbors.

Those places were actually built by a more advanced civilization from the south…the toltecs and other Mexican cultures…

New Mexico PBS should make a video series on how to survive American libtardism.

So why accept Christianity, when they tore away from our true culture, 1 God, Great Spirit in the Sky

There’s three sides to every story. And unless you were there you’re a fool to believe.

Oh Boy PBS pushing victim narrative. I used to dig these documentaries back in the 1990's and then I figured out PBS is not what it appears to be.

Even before Christ was born? Our Lord said, 'before Abraham was, I am'. Christ is God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity who came to earth to teach us Truth. The native Americans, and they were not created in North America, but all came here from somewhere else, were living in pagan ignorance. My ancestors are Navajo. I am grateful to the Catholic misisonaries who came to bring God's Truth to my ancestors. I thank God for them and their sacrifices. If some Native Americans now wish to return to and glorify their pagan beliefs, if they would rather tell themselves that their world came from two spider sisters living under the ground, I find that a tragic rejection of God and His Truth. The consequences of rejecting God and His Truth are eternal.

After hearing that this documentary movie was created with support of Rockefeller Foundation, I have lost my interest in all these people were saying.

“Coronado brought 300 Mexican Indians”, no. He brought Indios from further south. White man made that separation, not the peoples.

there are very many thing that make you proud to be an a amrcian but this is not one of them what WE did to the indians is so wrong

Another notch on the belt of Roman Catholic atrocities in the name of the Pope.

dont say whoop to a christian at the beginning or, I will refuse you, ALL TOGETHER.
