V. H. Malstrom, from Dartmouth proposed a possible origin of the Purepecha being here in Kaua'i. Now that I have been here for 5 years speaking with the Hawaiians, their geneological chants tell about migrations from here. The Kaua'ians look like the Purepecha of Janitzio. I hope there are some new students that will investigate the connections. Nia Mora came to give me her uncle's movie. Saludos to Patzcuaro, my tio abuelo, Alfedo Zalce, was from there. Arriva Michoacan!
are you saying the Incans actually travelled in boats from Hawaii and not by crossing the Bering strait? That's incredible, when did they leave and how many of them?
y el documental?
alguien sabe de unos libros de la cultura purepecha? Prefiero comprarlos en la computadora si es posible. O si los venden en michoacan pueden que se los encarge a alguien.
This is a wonderful production. Thanks very much indeed.
Gave me chills..thanks
@jhill14 Thanks for the tip. It's on the 5th Anniversary DVD, for anyone who wants it.
En realidad es altamente recomendable. Yo encontre la película a solo 30 pesos en una tienda que se llama Del sol en monterrey nuevo león .
very nice :)
I am Hector Tapia Perez, great grandson of Isidro Tapia Ponce, Purepecha cacique of San Rafael, Michoacan by Puruandiro, home of the warriors I now live in "the source" Kaua'i, home of Pele, the fire godess. I live at the base of Sleeping Giant mountain and meditate on my ancestors here. Some Purepecha came from here in the 11th century. You can see the lauhala armor. This film will change history. FB Nia Mora, my niece. Her uncle made this film. I love my niece, the new Erendira! Aloha
MUCHA RAZON TIENES MI HERMANO , no se hacen ni se hicieron sacrificios humanos. solo pilas de madera ardiendo, mucho fuego para Curicaveri.
I saw the shorter version of this documentary at the college I attend. I wanted to see the longer version. Very interesting! We need some all over the world, heh.
@tangas1530 CLARO QUE SI ESTA CIENTIFICAMENTE COMPROBADO POR LOS ARQUEOLOGOS
I am part Purepecha, and I know of all of the traditions and practice them... one thing I fall short of is the stories and legends from this tribe. Anyone care to share some of these stories?
where can I get this documentary?
la peor pelicula que he visto acerca de laconquista, ya que se basa en en sagas miticas. no he sabido de algyna nueva pelicula acerca de la conquista. De hecho por cada 100 españoles que morian ,10000 indigenas morian

Outstanding documentary!!!!
Abcient Blood iS Brave And Fearless in Battle!!
Tendrás la película que la puedas ripear y que la subas si no es mucho pedir
I was surprised to see that the people of Mexico know what is happening to them. All we see here in the USA, are those fighting to open the border. While our Pres. is meeting with Mexico's Pres. & Canada's Prime Minister, behind closed doors, to merge all 3 countries. Those in power need to be replaced :/ kudos for this film.
