I've done a lot of bowhunting in the Eastern Sierras. I found lots of arrow heads over the years. I find it so fascinating to think I'm hunting deer the same way they used to but with modern equipment. As I sit on a bluff looking out over the valley it seems so spiritual to me.

OH yes, trust the California Government.

Miners = horrible people \ Natives = greatest smartest people that ever lived - can’t do no wrong

Good video and thanks. We used to find native points on the grandparents land after the rain. The most common small "bird" points were made from a flinty type of rock. On occasion though we would find obsidian points and some raw obsidian that we don't think was particularly common there.

That was very interesting.

I found Triflo in San Diego 900 miles to the south.

The European girl saying on my trive area lol jajaja

I live in CA and have hiked the Sierra extensively. Without exception, I find bits of obsidian along every trans-sSierran trail. And every place that is a good place to camp, was a good place to camp. Just knowing that I am walking the same pathways that others have for thousands of years adds to the richness of the outing.

I wayched a video yesterday about the mound builders in around Jackson Tn ( western tn) they have a chart of where the finds cane from. Obsidian was the farthest trade route find .

The comment, "and they used obsidian for ceremonial purposes too", tells me they are presenting slanted personal views with no basis so they never elaborate on that "ceremonies" She's the type who calls a stone dildo a ritual ceremonial artifact . She paints a picture of tribes mixing constantly and creating new tribes when genetic study shows the exact opposite has occurred since their arrival. She present a "Kumbaya" false representation of the native as if he is a sub-human noble savage. She is a racist who believes in her superiority and tells lies that paint the Native as half-animal. She is the euro-centric racist of centuries past. Get her off the air.

Remarkable to understand how obsidian can tell such a detailed story of native peoples occupation of the land. Seems like native peoples being able to house the artifacts of their ancestors is the right way to do things. Thanks 🙂

Living here in Wisconsin, I've traded for obsidian points, etc which originated from North, and South Dakota----

One important area left out of the act is the creation of agriculture on Native American sites. If a developer wants to build on a site they must do an archaeological survey. But if someone wants to create a 100 acre vineyard, no archaeological survey necessary. Just rip up the soil and plant. How many archaeological sites were destroyed by farmers?

What beautiful people and video.

These liberal hive minded people will have nothing to offer a free thinker , I just want to know where to look for it.

I heard all of the obsidian and basalt was pushed up from Mexico 😮

The colors I have are almost perfectly clear to dark black, reds of all shades from bright to brown. All from Lake County ca.

The owens valley is the winter home for the Numu. Even during the ice age. . The mono/Northern paiute/Bannock/shoshone peoples were very warlike and the owens valley is the Numic homeland .. . LANGUAGE map shows this. THE eastern shoshone are from the owens valley . Ethnogenisis of the eastern shoshone shows this . Most numic oral history shows they came from the owens valley

I am chief Indian there as a Native American baby

I don't go inside it's only for gay people, I chill outside.

I found about 4 5 gallon buckets full of obsidian on an island in the Middle of the DesMoines River, in Iowa any ideas how it got here?

In 1961, they renamed the street "wong way" a one way street that most went the opposite direction than intended....

they look like dragon scales!

Shes Awsome Beautiful

I was born and raised in Riverside. I remember some of the buildings in the Chinese area off Tequesquite (spelling), and in 1968 rode my bicycle there (we lived not far from Mt. Rubidoux) and met Mr. Wong and visited with him. My folks would take us kids to Chun King from time to time. It seemed so exotic compared to us being familiar with Mexican food.

Very interesting!! Always enjoyed finding pieces of obsidian !!

Too bad California became too dangerous of a place to go to. Very sad situation.

Thank you for the video. There is an outcrop of obsidian near the south end of the Salton Sea. The volcano is considered active and will erupt again at some future date. If you are interested in learning more about this outcrop, search for "obsidian butte".

"A human being must be very sharp indeed to understand the values of obsidian. That black glass used throughout the lands of no metal so long ago."

We took away what was there's that God gave them and we should be ashamed.

At 12:56 time, I’m loving the comment by Gerald Hunter. At the ancient sites, you are all affected by the area, the spiritual link to the past; it’s where people gathered, said prayers, passed down the traditions over a campfire. 👍 Yes indeed. Well said.

in all my hunts through all of the west ,obsidian has been there whether it was traded or a secret out cropping, the things I found were incredible and I put my own story together of how and when these peoples lived, and lets don't forget about the giants? DNA shows us where the natives came from and the approximate time. the giants are a different story, my search continues for the truth... thank you for the video, well done

After watch Doctor Ing Hay of John Day Oregon, I just had to see this California Community as well!!!. Yes, in the 1940's my own Dad was a patient of Doc Hay of John Day Oregon, and he treated my Dad's Rheumatic Fever, and made it at least go dormant, And my Dad stayed at the VA in Portland for more than a year, after a medical discard from the Army, the VA doctor's in Portland were perplexed. and could not wrap their mind (head) around the enigmatic mystery that my Dad's Rheumatic Fever was in a inactive, or rather a dormant state. What a Miracle Worker Doctor Ing Hay was for my Dad!!! Bless You Doc Hay in Heaven, you were a true ray of healing when you sojourned here amongst us!!!. I hear shouts of adoration in heaven as I declare this in my heart and soul, as a human living on the 3rd planet, called Gaia!!!

No love for the Salton Seas Obsidian Butte, or other So Cal sources? I know it has lots of inclusions but it's still a stone tool quality CCS. If this vidio is from the SHPOs official channel you should also include southern California obsidian sources as well, that's not cool.

That was Chung King! Not chunk! Sorry!

Chunk King was the best! I can still see that fried shrimp on my plate from the 50's and 60's!

sick

Kinda like cutting Mona Lisa's eyeball out to see if it's fake.

I know of a obsidian mine the ancients used in napa county and near the mine close to a creek there is so much material it must have been the site used to knapp

This like the least cool event ever

And they still lie to us about the facts

What about the Southeast end of the Salton Sea ?

I did some claim staking east of Independence, Ca...A considerable amount of obsidian was there and also projectile points..and old encampments. We also found aboriginal mines with blue earth and stones as the objective. I'll not give any other details.. this was a rich area for evidence of early man. Found and left as is. I also lived in Winnemucca in the 50s.. plenty of obsidian there and a considerable amount of artifacts. I have never revealed the locations and hope they are still intact. I might also mention we found evidence of Spanish intrusion.

So NATIVES built Pyramids, but this doesn't coincide with what's in this video?

Obsidian, thank you for the science.

The trail of tears is removed from google maps why would they remove that trail dig that up.

Modoc county checking in with lots of obsidian too!

i live in wv and found a basketball size chunk of obsidian could it be from ca ? i'd like to know ? people destroy history everyday:{

Right on through Az and New Mexico too

Owens valley obsidian!
