I watched this for my Native American Studies class and I cried when my professor played this documentary. It's so heartbreaking to see a people so spiritually bonded to their land being flung around like they don't matter.
I've noticed that many people watch part one of this series, but shy away from watching the rest of the segments. What can I say? Be brave, and endure the whole story so that your conscience may direct your actions. Cowardice is not an option, unless you want to end up the same way our original people are.
I remember this airing on HBO way back when... My brother-in-law lives on the Hopi-Navajo border and it's interesting how this dispute has changed over the years from being between Navajo/Hopi & the government to Navajo vs. Hopi.
My grandmother resided in Howell Mesa years ago before relocating to a place where she never was able to find comfort and as of today she is without sheeps our livestocks. It is a shame to the U.S. government to put greetiness for coal over human lives.
Knowing these are my people and this is our land while this is all a current struggle truly breaks my heart. #rememberyourculture #practiceitswayoflife
I was going to post this documentary, and I'm glad I looked to see if someone else had placed it on youtube. Thank you so much. I will pass it along to my friends and subscribers.
Andrea Hall (Mother Earth knows her loyal chosen people, knows what has been done to them.) She is going to purge and restore her people... The scales of justice are real. That is why her chosen are shown what is coming. 💖💖💖
There actually WERE a lot of outcries back then, but very little media coverage of it. I was part of the outrage cries, and that's why I'm posting the video. I don't want it to be forgotten. Thanks for your interest. Are you doing anything to help?
How the Hopi People hate our Diné people is beyond me.. We should have been mature about all this we all look the same. We customized our lives to each other's way of life. The way they dress is the way our elders dressed long ago. The way we grow corn is the way their ancestors grew corn. We borrowed from each other so why not get along? We are aboriginal people and that is one strong bond no one else will ever feel.
Not sure why it took me so long to find this gem of a video series.. thank you for posting and for the people that are now passed that you were friends with. How do we deal with this kind of idiocy from the governments that have taken over our human rights.
OMG! This is unbelievable that First Nation Peoples must deal with such atrocities. We will rise again! Thank you for sharing this so that the truth is known to all.
The bird we see outside our windows is an expression of purity and spirit. We must direct our thoughts to their beauty, their perseverance in and around a hostile environment. They teach us to keep going, to hold beauty in our eyes against all the attacks against our views of beauty - nature.
Walkingbear56 thank you for sharing this with me. And thank you Morningwasichu for this wonderful video..This must be out .. no one has the right to treat others like this. I honor you as my Aunt was an Native American and I am proud of it.
thank you for uploading...best meds i can get!! besides the lost knowledge of my ancestors.. i had my first vision at 15 or 16 i was walking up the hill from the bus stop..a native threw a red feather that sunk into my chest and said i was from a line of warrior spirits.. now i suffer as my grandma zena did...slowly fighting this system and getting punished in the process..thank god she supported life and didnt mind shareing children!! 7 kids by 7 guys..best woman ever to me..only 4 10 1/4.!lol
Ugh this movie made me cry!!!! I feel so bad becuz my families stuck between 2 walls. My dad works for peabody and were very traditionl. But we do need peabody on the rez becuz thats how many families get there income but once the mine's all close down what are we gonna do? Many families are gonna be without money but then again were ruining mother earth. Its hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Its a good and bad thing. In beauty we may walk. Faith, hope, and charity,
Perhaps these times will finally turn us around. I'm hopeful. I think the time is upon us when some of the people in power will step up to the plate. Let's keep speaking up. Let's keep reminding people that, if we continues this way, we will finally, out of our survival instincts, recognize that - once the last tree is cut down, once the last river and oceans have been polluted - we will not be able to eat the money we've acquired along the way.
This brought tears to my eyes. And to think the white people want the immigrant to assimilate to their culture but yet, the white people did not assimilate to the native Indians culture, they broke them, they forced them to follow their culture...This is so appalling, I could not find words to say, I am so sorry for the native Indians..
Very sad indeed yeap Navajo live here along time too it's just that our hogan don't last for hundred of years so there no trace of our hogans across our native lands even the dinetah' pass Farmington there are no hogan that r still visible but we live here longer since begging of time it's n our stories..
Please pass this video along to as many people as you can. The traditional Hopi and Dine (Navajo) people, and especially Hopi Elders Dan Evehema and Thomas Banyacya (no longer alive), and Dine Elders Pauline Whitesinger and Roberta Blackgoat (also no longer alive) deserve it. Let's do all do all we can to stop the ticking clock. Do what you can to help set things right. It's late, but it's what we CAN do.
No do not leave work with the government you control this it is your land you have the right. Be a business let them pay for what they want sell what you don't need but this is yours YOU OWN THIS LAND Do not give in this time you are AMERICANS
@doriannlee I feel with you. The wholesale destruction of indigenous people and their lands has gone global since this movie came out. The challenges seem insurmountable, but they're not. The spirits know. Those of us who chose spiritual paths that support mother nature will win in the long run, regardless of circumstances or the pains we experience. Yours have been far worse than mine. Our good hearts and love for creation will carry us into the next world, where the real powers reside.
For the first time I saw this movie last nite , of course at 1AM. It made me so sad and upset . These poor people have gone throug hell while the Washington politicion were just haveng fun and playing games with them. I am proud that I am the first generation in the UsSand that my family had no part in this barberrian and horrifce act of a white man!
With you on that one... the pursuit of money as a goal in itself is nothing short of insanity. I have no idea where it is going to take us all..should we let it. Hell on earth perhaps?
@dineblessing the hardest part is the decision! making the chocie will free your heart, then you can truly live for yourself and your people. may you live in grace,
@dineblessing Yes, I do understand. The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill tells us the same story. The people there have had their whole lives destroyed, yet many of them are begging BP NOT to stop drilling, because without their jobs they will have no future income. The "divide and conquer" strategy has evolved so that now we are now begging for the crumbs left after livelihoods have been destroyed by the very same actors. In bed with the devil. It wears heavily on our conscience.
And the raping of the earth and its indigenous being is happening at an ever accelerating pace. Indigenous communities are being assaulted and robbed of their heritage throughout the global hemisphere. I'm just a dumb Wasichu. But even I can see that the consequences of this constant robbery of earth mother's blood and guts can lead only to all of our annihilation, and very soon. We must all change our direction and begin to look, promote and honor the good things we see every day,
oh hell no.. No you got it all wrong, Hopi's didn't "piggy back" from the Dine people. Dine's are originally from Canada and migrated down to Arizona near the Hopi's. Where Dine's learned so much from us, like farming, grinding corn, making prayer feathers. They even took our creation story and changed it a bit and made it their own. & The Anasazi aren't wiped off the plant? The Hopi and other Pueblo tribes are the descendants of the Anasazi. i don't get why Navajo's like you hate us so much.
The Hopi claim to be the first people in all of North and South America. They planned a migration - some to the East, the West, North and South, to the farthest extreme of each, then to turn - left?, right?, in a swastika pattern, leaving behind mounds, etc., to mark their passing, then return to center. They were the ancestors of the Anazazi and the Iroquois and the chrokee. The Navaho were marauding land pirates with no homeland. In time the Navaho reservation grew to engulf the Hopi homeland.
After all the land that was taken from them, now they want to take more. This is terrible. If anything they should give back more land. Industry has to end, and the government needs to learn that working for money isn't good for the environment. Also the native people have a right to live in their ways and keep their culture. If they live there, that is their private property. There private homes. What if gold was found under the statue of liberty and a corporation wanted it, would they throw it out? I hope the Hopi and Navajo natives prosper.
The only reason for the move of these people is greed by the european people. They discovered minerals and such on the native peoples land, and forced them to moved. I'm white myself, and I feel utterly sorry for all that the native people have gone through. My people should start learning how to accept other cultures and races.
@tawagner14 what do you mean "NAVAJOS were here first"? Us Hopi's were here waaaaaaaaaay before the Dine came! Did you ever hear "Old Oraibi is the oldest continous living place in the U.S.A" btw thats a Hopi village. & im not trying to hate on Dine people cause ihve family thats Dine but that comment kinda pessed me off! Hopi Pride!! Second Mesa!!
@dineblessing We move forward without Peabody to live in Hozhoo. We can create power generation stations using the wind. Peabody's interests are not in Dine's favor, but in favor to their shareholders.
Were it to be continued...yes...hell on earth. Fortunately and in keeping with so many old prophecies, the spirit in the whole of mankind is awakening. The connection between earth and sky is the quest. As this progresses, the money system will be gone and the heart of the species will heal. There's a black hole in us that can be filled ONLY with a conscious connection to Spirit. I truly believe that it's being filled now. It's gradual, but, it's happening.
@EthanCole15 Just to let you know, there are SOME whites who are supportive of native issues (and want to help), and recognize that great wrongs were done to native people for over 400 years.
Ahe'hee. Heartfelt documentary! Follow me as well on my Maternal Grandparents (Williams vs Lee) who fought and WON for all of us Federally Recognized Tribes... OUR "SOVEREIGNTY"
Don't be sad. Just help out. I too am white. Send this video to all of your friends and relatives. Find out more about the situation. Google is a good place to start. You are not powerless here.
this makes me so angry and sad it makes me want to take revenge and hurt those who think this was all okay. I'm Mexican American and although I never lived in a reservation I consider myself Native and child of this land. I have Yaqui, Dine, and Nahua blood. Even if I didnt have native blood of an american native I still consider myself native and see them as my brothers and sisters. I cant believe people could do this and continue to do this.....
black mesa coal is the best, i did not even know all this went on when i was born i totally respect peter mcdonald he is probably the closest thing that we ever had to bill clinton. my mane man lol.
There is ALWAYS dark and light. Seems all men, have a dark side and so too all their religious and spiritual ways over the past 4000 years... all white, red, yellow and black men have caused karma, be them men or women this lifetime. Lets get a BIGGER picture humans
The time is near that Karma will seek it's revenge upon the white man. The last shall be first, the least will have the most. It is the law of the universe and it's coming!
"Rise again"?!? ....You mean sink back into the neo-lithic age you were found living in, a couple of centuries ago (and still living in a little more than a century ago)?
I watched this for my Native American Studies class and I cried when my professor played this documentary.
It's so heartbreaking to see a people so spiritually bonded to their land being flung around like they don't matter.
I've noticed that many people watch part one of this series, but shy away from watching the rest of the segments. What can I say? Be brave, and endure the whole story so that your conscience may direct your actions. Cowardice is not an option, unless you want to end up the same way our original people are.
Thank you for posting. This has brought tears to my eyes. I am disgusted with the treatment given upon us. Heartbreaking! !
It is so disgusting and disheartening to see the injustices still done to these people!
I remember this airing on HBO way back when... My brother-in-law lives on the Hopi-Navajo border and it's interesting how this dispute has changed over the years from being between Navajo/Hopi & the government to Navajo vs. Hopi.
My grandmother resided in Howell Mesa years ago before relocating to a place where she never was able to find comfort and as of today she is without sheeps our livestocks. It is a shame to the U.S. government to put greetiness for coal over human lives.
Knowing these are my people and this is our land while this is all a current struggle truly breaks my heart. #rememberyourculture #practiceitswayoflife
I Remember Watching This In Boarding School... Sad But Feels Good To Be Indigenous
I was going to post this documentary, and I'm glad I looked to see if someone else had placed it on youtube.
Thank you so much. I will pass it along to my friends and subscribers.
The only way the cycle of greed ends is when all man lays down the dollar bill and picks up the heart of Mother Earth and says NO MORE..
Andrea Hall (Mother Earth knows her loyal chosen people, knows what has been done to them.) She is going to purge and restore her people... The scales of justice are real. That is why her chosen are shown what is coming. 💖💖💖
+Mary Vetter yes your very true about what you say mother earth ✌🌎🌈👌
Andrea Hall aho hokahay thank you lady
Very informative. This is a story in the Navajo history that needs to be told.
Thank you too. This needs to be seen far and wide.
There actually WERE a lot of outcries back then, but very little media coverage of it.
I was part of the outrage cries, and that's why I'm posting the video. I don't want it to be forgotten. Thanks for your interest. Are you doing anything to help?
I so hope the new Secretary of the Interior will help your cause as it is hers as well.
I love all the amazing grammar in all these threads.
How the Hopi People hate our Diné people is beyond me.. We should have been mature about all this we all look the same. We customized our lives to each other's way of life. The way they dress is the way our elders dressed long ago. The way we grow corn is the way their ancestors grew corn. We borrowed from each other so why not get along? We are aboriginal people and that is one strong bond no one else will ever feel.
My dad remembers this during his childhood . He shares this story about the relocation. He’s from Dinebiitoh (Rocky Ridge)
Not sure why it took me so long to find this gem of a video series.. thank you for posting and for the people that are now passed that you were friends with.
How do we deal with this kind of idiocy from the governments that have taken over our human rights.
OMG! This is unbelievable that First Nation Peoples must deal with such atrocities. We will rise again! Thank you for sharing this so that the truth is known to all.
It makes me cry ... ... thank you for posting
Nice hopi song to start with
BLESSINGS and PEACE from The Great Spirit to the People. ✝️😎✝️

thanks a lot for uploading this
We the Dine people need another leader like Peter Macdonald.
Please tell me who Peter Macdonald is/was, if you will. I haven't heard of him before.
A Republican leader. He and other Navajo Code Talkers met w President Trump recently. Yes, I wish we had another Leader like him.
L.m.A.o,,, to parAde around in a fur coat like a fu@king idiot, yea he did alot for our dìne
Walkingbear56 thank you for sharing this with me. And thank you Morningwasichu for this wonderful video..This must be out .. no one has the right to treat others like this. I honor you as my Aunt was an Native American and I am proud of it.

Sad and this happens to every tribe when money is on the line it makes the goverment greedy for everything
This brought tears to my eyes. And to think the white people want the immigrant to assimilate to their culture but yet, the white people did not assimilate to the native Indians culture, they broke them, they forced them to follow their culture...This is so appalling, I could not find words to say, I am so sorry for the native Indians..
Cora Casey only in America in Canada Indigenous history and indigenous cultures are still alive and strong...
This made me cry. When I heard what cruel things happened to them and they was promised the land wow.
It is indeed. And how many Americans are aware of this? It breaks my heart just to think of it. Please pass it along.
Very sad indeed yeap Navajo live here along time too it's just that our hogan don't last for hundred of years so there no trace of our hogans across our native lands even the dinetah' pass Farmington there are no hogan that r still visible but we live here longer since begging of time it's n our stories..
You are so welcome. It's good to see you on my channel.
thank you for posting the videos and great summary of the film! we are still under attack!
Please pass this video along to as many people as you can. The traditional Hopi and Dine (Navajo) people, and especially Hopi Elders Dan Evehema and Thomas Banyacya (no longer alive), and Dine Elders Pauline Whitesinger and Roberta Blackgoat (also no longer alive) deserve it.

With you on that one... the pursuit of money as a goal in itself is nothing short of insanity.
I have no idea where it is going to take us all..should we let it. Hell on earth perhaps?
Man, that is so fucked up. Glad my great grandmother still has her home on the rez.
Watch parts 1 through 7. For all people, this is required viewing.
do you know the song in the beginning of the video.?
@dineblessing the hardest part is the decision! making the chocie will free your heart, then you can truly live for yourself and your people.
may you live in grace,
need more info! morningwasichu, about NPL and hpl.
@dineblessing
Yes, I do understand. The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill tells us the same story.

It wears heavily on our conscience.
If things like this are allowed to keep happening, we're doomed. :(
All you need to find out more is to do a Google search on PL 93-531.
Hopis chose to settle here for certain reasons.
This was my great grandpa. he was a great man. goodbye john sterling boyden.
as long as this country continues to live in denial of land theft from natives, it will remain under a cloud and suffer from cultural karma.
And the raping of the earth and its indigenous being is happening at an ever accelerating pace. Indigenous communities are being assaulted and robbed of their heritage throughout the global hemisphere.
I'm just a dumb Wasichu. But even I can see that the consequences of this constant robbery of earth mother's blood and guts can lead only to all of our annihilation, and very soon.
We must all change our direction and begin to look, promote and honor the good things we see every day,
they need to make a new video on black mesa and the residents living on HPL home sites... alot has changed!!!!! :) in both good and bad!!!
best vid on youtube 5/5 by the way my grandma knows hosteen nez

Sacred4s,
perhaps my ignorance kept me from understanding your question. Please try again.
then you wonder ,why people is not standing for the flag or the national anthem.
The only reason for the move of these people is greed by the european people. They discovered minerals and such on the native peoples land, and forced them to moved. I'm white myself, and I feel utterly sorry for all that the native people have gone through. My people should start learning how to accept other cultures and races.
indian make me feel good
My whole family's in a debt crisis

There are still people that need your help. Donate to a Black Mesa support group.

Oh and to add on that comment wht do you Hopis should leave Dine people alone!? Were not doing anything to you! Its the white people!! Not Hopis.
