Go Karen!!! Great vid 🎉

Very weak and unconvincing presentation of arguments.

Quite weak.

I am 80 days into my experimental garden project. I planted the three sisters directly into a lawn without tilling or weeding, or preparing the area at all. I used Hopi Blue and planted them deep, below the grass roots because I hope to show that the corn can be grown with almost no effort directly in a lawn. I planted more than 1200 corn seed’s along with beans and squash in 60 stations. I believe that this is by far the best corn to keep on hand for survival seeds anywhere in the country. I am documenting my progress on my channel.

I'm from Jemez and spent 26 years in hopi, in Jemez I'm a Oak Clan, as many told me in Hopi I belong with the Greasewood. Cool.

What a terrific lecture. Perhaps a future lecture could discuss the wide variety of food products obtained and used by the people. I was amazed when I learned how varied the diet was.

Informative. Interesting. Ineffective production methodology. I’ve turned it off.

It would have been nice to see more of his photos of these communities.

Regarding that whole community moving idea - other groups moved often when necessary. Game and other resources running out in an area would cause plains peoples to move. Resources, ground productivity issues for crop production, water sources drying up, I want to live in a better neighborhood with a better view, who knows.

Why does the videographer use long distant shots when the lecturer is pointing out intersects? Can’t see a thing. Very frustrating.

Was Chaco the home of red haired giants who enslaved humans and were also cannibals? The fallen ones (aka nephilim)

Interesting talk.

In north western NM, my brothers and I (1987) discovered some of these one night as we were clearing our land of brush for planting. We warmed the larger ones up in the brush fire and ate them. (about walnut sized) The rest stayed in the ground. I was always curious about this odd potato that was growing amongst the sage in only a thirty foot radius.

Seems critically important that Pot styles are very much a Female issue !! As a Blank page having no pre conceived ideas, if females make pots exactly as they were taught by their mothers, seems very logical that tracking DNA between peoples especially through mitochondrial DNA as these segments of DNA are exclusively inherited from the mother !! In much of history bonds between people are established by way of arranged marriages between groups of people !!

Who is this gentleman at the end of the video named "Joe"? I'd like to speak with him

Chaco culture (including MV) collapsed due to elites oppressing people (and eating them!) …..archeologist Christy Turner found 80 sites with cannibalism. Never mentioned?

they left in a hurry from the looks

The vandalism charges should be gigantic enough to discourage any mass clearing projects by large companies and it should go towards indigenous communities, in order to give the government incentive to refrain from large scale archaeological destruction themselves.

Talk to the Elders. Remember the past

O this was something special!

Great video!

The second you mentioned climate change I knew this is all bullshit like usual. We don't need you're far left agenda to get layered into native history and traditions. No one on earth has been worse for the Indian people than whites who are coming to save the day "and help write" our histories. I wish more natives would wakeup and see who the real enemy is; the white academic saviors. Sincerely, a native who understands history.

The Creator bless you Lyle you speak from the heart… Keep teaching Hopi culture and keep the spirit of peace alive…

This looks like a good beginning.

Great presentation of my favorite ancient americsn culture! Thank you!

This is an awesome outreach which I will share with as many folks as I know miight have a peripheral intetest. I'm not from your focus area, but the High Plains of Texas, but every time I drive past a "playa lake" - aka buffalo wallow - I I mourn. So many thanks to everyone!

Great presentation. Thank you!

Ok. I apologize. I enjoyed this presentation. Thank you!

Is it just me, or is this presenter overly self centered in his assesments. It feels more arrogant than scholarly presentations usually are.

What a great presentation. Thank you!

I beg to differ when he says in the first 6.5 mins that they didn't put any creativity or whatever into their construction sites. Look at the fit, seamless. Just like the actual cut stones in S. America, that you can't get a piece of paper thru. (figure of speech) I would alot that effect to settling and gravity over time, but still yet. These stones fit nicely together. Some THOUGHT went into that. I'm Native American and I watch and listen anyway, I learn a lot, but become skeptical on some things, just because but they always get something wrong. Then you wonder "what else is incorrect"?. There's one ruin with a sign out front of it that say something like "Who built it" "Why" "We may never know", uh...YES WE DO KNOW, ASK THE PEOPLE, says the TRIBAL HISTORIAN. They never ask the right people. You see. Even the official historian is constantly learning, just like the people then did. This is why there are "councils" so to speak. Couldn't think of a better word. You can talk to the tribal elder of one village, go another village down and speak to that tribal elder. You are going to get two diff. stories. The diff. IS, once you have all the pieces, you have the story. Imagine this tho: the populations pre-contact/contact, was larger than the current population of the USA. Which reminds me of something I recently heard something in a log book of some maybe French? IDK explorer (of the lands of the USA/Canada) I'm not sure if it was a Spanish or French team. Anyway, my point being, one of them wrote in their diary or logbook that they could hardly turn a tree without running into another village or tribe. T

It's not hopi

Thanks for the history lesson!

What are waste of time and money... Who cares about any of that.. I think maybe we should be worried about what's coming not what's happened..

Very curious to see the maps and slides he was talking about. Could you please post a link to the slides so we can follow along?

Dang. I'm six years late.

So cool

Stories Chaco Canyon was a place games of death of winning over other young ones and ladies and control over humans you had to beat your challenge live in community and more Stories about what happen at the waterhole.

With respect to the painted arrows, one possible reason they were painted differently would be to be able to identify each arrow quickly. Hand made arrows wouldn't perform uniformly, and might have different flight characteristics. In that case, knowing which arrow you were about to shoot would allow you to know how to aim the shot.

Was there any signs of vacuume food storage. I've heard small chambers sealed with clay while a fire inside burned while creating smoke, and a partial vacuum which would preserve the food in the chamber

Beautiful, respectful and intriguing lecture. I’m grateful.

Wow, this was such an interesting speaker and subject! Explains so much. Great video, thank you!

I think they moved from place to place because they ran out of wood to cook with and to build with. Along with water and animals to eat.

No words. Just tears.

Cameraman, you're fired

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this presentation this evening. I spent a year and 1/2 in Escalante and really took it all for granted. I've seen or have been to at least a dozen of these sights. It's such a treat when you are up close to a track spot, and 20 feet away, you encounter petroglyph sites. Further adding to the history is the rich Mormon frontier expeditions, particularly hole in the rock road. I'm hoping the area stays wild, but people do need their hands held in that area.

I'm from Morenci, and there have been items found in Eastern Greenlee County in the Duncan area. It's widely known in the area.

Conquest did not just impact the conquered, it also changed the conquerors, culturally and biologically. Such encounters are almost never black and white, but result in a complex interaction that has both positive and negative consequences. Native peoples usually took from invaders those things they found beneficial (sheep, horses, fruits and vegetables, etc.) and rejected those things that were a threat to their way of life (encomienda, slavery, forced conversion and vassalage, etc.). Like all people the world over.

People remember to leave anything at those ruins just like you found it, even if it's a gold bullion, unless you're an archaeologist, then you can steal it.
