Alex, thank you for all the work you put into making these videos in your mission to educate people on the culture and ways of the Native Americans. I am Wukchumne Yokut, direct descendant of Henry Icho (Last chief of Wukchumne) and Chappo (Chief of Pahdwishe). Your videos have inspired me to get in touch with my native roots and really learn a lot about my family and how they lived throughout time. I wish you the best of luck in your journey's, and thanks again.
My great-grandparents lived in Exeter and we came from Visalia to visit and pick mushrooms on Rocky Hill. When we were young, 50+ years ago, my sister and I would explore while the adults scavenged. We found the mortars and there were pestles, some round, some oval, but we would never have taken them. It was a beautiful, sacred place. My husband proposed to me up there one lovely Summer evening under the vast sky of stars. It breaks my heart to know that houses cover most of the hill now.
Alex, I have the utmost respect for you and your ability to share these treasures with the rest of the world. For the awesome graphics and explanations, Thank You!
The Bear Clan is in my family. My Grandfather was 100,% Cherokee and his family are the Bear Clan. Very Cool! Thank You. These look really old. What a wonderful place. At 13:32, this block looks megalithic. Sharp corner, on the bottom looks carved. What an amazing site.
Alex, thank you so much for making these wonderful videos to educate us abiut times and places mostly forgotten. Chase Walker told me about your programs and I've been enjoying them ever since. Many thanks!
I am new to Exeter , 2 years. I have a son who is six years old and we often go to rocky hill , on the other side. I have been to that side as well , anyway I had no idea this was an archeological site . my son is gonna love this story and now when we go to rocky hill we can understand why it feels so special , we like taking yokohl Dr tward Springville. thanks for the video . I will do more Research on rocky hill .
Rocky Hill was also a mine used by the Government during War 2 there is many air shafts around the Hills ...The mine opening was on the straight uphill Road they drove Big Trucks inside to be loaded..The Valley on the left side before you get to Rocky Hill was the Animal Kill Yard used for years it closed after War 2 ....
Moved to Visalia when I was 10 years old, first time hiking around Rocky Hill I told my Aunt that this was a special place, we shouldn't be here. Thank you for this post, I know I wasn't crazy or making up stories.
I will say this.....the paintings and pictographs in tulare county are older than people think. Frank Llatta interviewed many yokuts in the early 1900's who were at that time up to 90 yrs old and they were alive before white people came to the valley...he also interviewed Uncle Jeff Mayfield who was part of one of the first families to settle the valley and at 6 yrs old he was raised by the yokuts until he was 17, Mayfield told his life story living with the yokuts and you might be surprised to find out that thing werent as sacred as television tends to make it out to be...they didnt do the offering thing or consider everything sacred...the yokuts that were interviewed said that even they didn't know what the paintings meant, they were from ancient people. Might want to look up Frank Llatta he has some person to person information from the old yokuts that will correct some of your guesses and give some knowledge on how things realy were.....
Quite a find for me and my grandson's who have been exploring a small ranch I have in Los Gatos Canyon near Coalinga. We've found mortar bowls, cupules... but mostly we sit back and try to imagine their lives, who they were, their dreams. Thanks for the series, and I hope many more will soon be available. - JamesJM
by the way .. yokut and tule culture was taught to me in 4th grade at John J Doyle school portervlle Calif I am 59 now so that would have been 50 years ago
Rocky HIll was always a party place, and a smooching place. A place for Sunday worship on Easter morning, A cross was put there, I don't know if its still there. Sometimes rowedy types would wrap wet burlap and set it on fire.S
I have ridden motorcycles, bicycles, and hiked a ton on Rocky hill. I have loved the history and the mystical beauty but it is closed to the public which is a terrible mistake as the next generation will not know the history and beauty of the land. Not to mention the historical significance. Do the Gills still own the South slope of Rocky Hill?
I'm only 7 miles away I never knew this thank you so much for all you do it's appreciated definitely a subscriber now and I would encourage everyone else please hit that like button and subscribe....
the best gift to bring to that rock would be land ownership to the natives again and a big apology for draining Tulare Lake by diverting the rivers give the land back if you care
The Cave of the Condor is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing that with us. You can certainly get a 'feel' for what was put into the artwork at the site.
So thankful for this video. I've lived here all of my years and have always wanted some insight on the writings there. Definitely leaves a lot of questions of what they saw..... I also wanted to tear. I'm still so curious! Thank you for this video.
@@storiesbyalex are the white parts original ie archaic, and if so how are the white and other colors made? they dont look original/old to me, they look like they might have been added recently with white paint.
I am Choinumni Yokuts, these are sacred sites to the Yokuts People. This is not a tourist site, this is a sacred place of ceremony for our people. Please stay away if you are not invited by a Yokuts elder.
At 5:18 it is stated that there is a "rattlesnake" going through the middle of the "Healer." With all due respect, I would like to suggest the possibility that the squiggly line represents the intestinal tract. I would also like to ask why (or how) it has been decided that the figure represents the "Healer?"
John, thanks for watching and your comments. I cannot speak for Manuel' interpretations of the pictograph. However, I am curious as to how you came to the interpretation that a portion of the image represents and intestinal tract? Any insight or information that you can share about the pictograph would be appreciated.............alex
@@storiesbyalex - Hi Alex. More of a hunch than anything. I have seen other elements described to me as Rattlesnakes but they usually have 2 parallel lines with a diamond pattern inside. The way the squiggly single line cuts through the Healer figure struck me as more of a passage way through rather than a snake which makes no sense at all (to me.) Obviously no way to know for sure. I do know of a couple sites in 4 corners region in which the intestinal tracts are featured in fascinating detail.
I have a question a friend of mine who has past away God rest HIS soul showed me an arrow head the size on a grain of rice he found it in poso creek off hwy 65 at the Kern county and Tulare county line it's was perfect in shape made of obsidieon was it a toy bow and arrow for shooting little lizards
Why don't these 2nd generation white guys bring a good gift to that rock, how about a apology for the murder and take over of their land in 1860? It went from $0.25 a scalp to $5 a scalp
Unfortunately, the history of the world is filled with incidents of one culture dominating another culture to the detriment of another culture. For example, the native Aztecs sacrificed thousand of their native enemies by cutting out their hearts while they were alive. Hopefully, as we progress through history we can all learn from our past mistakes.............alex
The Yokut culture is not lost, it is alive and going through a period of cultural revitalization after nearly two centuries of genocide wrought by Euro-Americans. The stereotypical music and images of "shamen" only adds to the romanticization and exoticization of indigenous cultures as relics of the past. Where are all of the Yokuts in the video? Did you attempt to engage the local community or did you simply go through the conservancy?
Hello Raymond, thank you for your comments. The purpose of my video treks is to spark an interest for those viewing the series to go and seek further knowledge. It is a portal - a gateway - to seek further knowledge. And if even just one person does this - we are all the better of for it. The truth is out there - for those who seek it. My Regards - Alex
Well said Raymond, as I am very much alive. I am Yokuts of the youlumni, toulumni and pankalanchi tribes. It would be nice if my relatives were contacted before any type of "educational" statements were made. By all means, there is a Reservation about 50miles from this site that a person can go and seek tha correct information and knowledge
storiesbyalex None of these sacred sites should be shown or filmed without permission from our people, regardless of what any type of historical society says or doesn't say.
4 white "experts" explain abridged versions of the Yokuts ceremonies and sacred sites, what they don't know they fill in for themselves. I have been to this site, was invited by an elder. LowasitsWahkikits is 100% correct. In fact, the Yokuts group we came with were specifically told not to take pictures or film by the elders, that these were sacred places, not to be shown off. The bearded man in this video also said not to take pictures or "post to social media." Yet here he is on UA-cam. He told us not to touch the paintings as if they were HIS, was rebuked by the elder for saying it, yet, he rubs his stick on them in this video. The white lady in this video at one point says, "our" site as if her archaeological status equates to ownership. This is all too typical, and frankly, gross. You do not have permission to film these sites. If you had any integrity, @storiesbyalex, you would delete this video.
Pictographs are painted images. Petroglyphs are images carved or pecked into the surface of the rock. "Rock art" is a blanket term covering all kinds of designs on rocks no matter how they are made.
Do you have contact info for the guided hikes to the site, I have tried unsuccessfully to find that information on my own ever since hearing about this site. Thank you!
Wendi, thanks for watching the series. If I remember correctly tours information can be obtained from the Exeter Historical Museum or the or the Tulare Historical Society. Also, the California Rock Art Association has tours to that site. You can find their phone numbers/emails on the internet......................alex
I really appreciate the explanations of everything in this video. Is it possible to take a physical field trip here, or is this protected space? I teach 4th grade. A third grade teacher is looking for a field trip connected to Yokuts, but I suggested Indian Grinding Rock though that is focused on Miwok. Any other ideas? This video itself is better than any textbook!
The naturals did not live in caves tipis or mud houses they lived downtown in brick buildings they had movie theaters pianos typewriters railroads factories they had to live in the hills in the late 1800's they got kicked out of their brick buildings by the founders the perfect example is Utah you think them Pioneers with oxygen horses built that place no they didn't they killed everybody send them running to the Hills that's how they ended up in the hills of Exeter and in the hills of Utah and in the hills and everywhere in this country the word founded means murder why do you think the mines closed down in 1920 because they killed the Indian engineer in 1910 thinking they could run the mine I'm even doubting Ford everything was here free electricity moving sidewalks just check out the world's fairs here in this country in the 1900s you going to see that the American Indian had moving sidewalks and everything the word founded our founding fathers it means murder they then poor natives Hatchet live in caves from 1856 all the way to 1920.. check out yokuts on tulare lake. In 1856 the governor of California declared extermination of all natives it went from $0.25 to $5 asked out that's how they ended up in Exeter up in the hills

Hello Cindy, the site is a restricted area with occasional guided tours. The area is hilly and some of the slopes are steep and you have to be careful amongst the rocky outcrops. I think showing the video and visiting Grinding Rock would be a safer trip for 4th grade students. Also, I have another Yokuts video that can be shown. It is titled "Orestimba" and posted on UA-cam. Thanks for the interest........alex
Thank you, Alex, for posting this wonderful historical view of the heritage in the Exeter area of the San Joaquin Valley. New generations will honor the forefathers who lived off the bounty of this land.
I had lived in Exeter for 4 years. And been to rocky hill so many time I actually lived a block away from the hill its called tooleville in Exeter ca. But I had always wanted to check all this out but I dont know if I could since its private property I have never dared to cross so I respect the privacy.. I will love to see it with my own eyes. What can I do so I can check ut out.
Hello Jessica, sorry for the late response as I am trekking and filming in Southeast Asia. I believe access to the site can be gained on a limited basis through the local Historical Society. My Regards - Alex
In my teen years, growing up in Visalia, I climbed on the slopes of Rocky Hill many times - I remember particularly the natural beauty of Rocky Hill in all seasons... I do remember occasional petroglyphs but I had no idea of the Ethnographic value of the location. Thank you to all who are helping to preserve the site!!
Hello Pebble, thank you for watching and your comments. However, let me say this - When ancestral Native American villages are damaged and destroyed by looters or leveled for shopping centers, it lessens us as Americans. Precious ties that link all of us to these storied places are also destroyed forever. Since its beginning in 1980, the Conservancy has now preserved 500 sites which were purchased from private land owners across the nation, ranging in age from the earliest habitation sites in North America to a 19th-century frontier army post. The Conservancy is building a national system of archaeological preserves to ensure the survival of our irreplaceable cultural heritage. My personal feeling is that is a good thing.............Alex
@@storiesbyalex I suggest that you delete any references in your videos etc to site locations to protect them from destruction. But maybe its too late? You and many others have disclosed the locations, and ignorant destruction is now underway and inevitable.
In 2014 the city of Eureka CA gave back Tuluwat Island to the Wiyott people in Humboldt County. This island was also known as Indian Island where women and children were massacred. The Wiyott, Hoopa, Yurok and other tribes have a strong culture and voice in the community. It would be nice to have the same in the Central Valley. It would also be nice to give this sacred site back to the Yokut Tribe. If Eureka can do it so can Exeter.
Thanks for the video! My family moved to Exeter in the early 1960s and I'd always heard there were pictograhs on the south side of the hill along with caves. As a kid we used to hike the hill but we could only hike the northern side and never were able to then go down the southern side being thay it's so steep. We were never able to go up the south side since it was private property. When we'd drive on the south side road as a kid we'd see one of the bigger caves. It was always so interesting to me to learn about the Native Americans who used to live there. THANKSGIVING YOU!!!
I am new to Exeter , 2 years. I have a son who is six years old and we often go to rocky hill , on the other side. I have been to that side as well , an y way I had no idea this was an archeologic al site . my son is gonna love this story and now when we go to rocky hill we can understand why it feels so special , we like taking yokohl Dr tward Springville. thanks for the video .

What can I do so I can check ut out.
Hello Jessica, sorry for the late response as I am trekking and filming in Southeast Asia. I believe access to the site can be gained on a limited basis through the local Historical Society. My Regards - Alex

In my teen years, growing up in Visalia, I climbed on the slopes of Rocky Hill many times - I remember particularly the natural beauty of Rocky Hill in all seasons... I do remember occasional petroglyphs but I had no idea of the Ethnographic value of the location. Thank you to all who are helping to preserve the site!!
John, thanks for watching - I appreciate your comments......alex
You lost creditability when you gave offerings to these rocks.
The owners of this site are not extinct. why do the descendants of the makers of this site not 'conserve' it instead of you pretender-defenders??
Hello Pebble, thank you for watching and your comments. However, let me say this - When ancestral Native American villages are damaged and destroyed by looters or leveled for shopping centers, it lessens us as Americans. Precious ties that link all of us to these storied places are also destroyed forever. Since its beginning in 1980, the Conservancy has now preserved 500 sites which were purchased from private land owners across the nation, ranging in age from the earliest habitation sites in North America to a 19th-century frontier army post. The Conservancy is building a national system of archaeological preserves to ensure the survival of our irreplaceable cultural heritage. My personal feeling is that is a good thing.............Alex
@@storiesbyalex I suggest that you delete any references in your videos etc to site locations to protect them from destruction. But maybe its too late? You and many others have disclosed the locations, and ignorant destruction is now underway and inevitable.
In 2014 the city of Eureka CA gave back Tuluwat Island to the Wiyott people in Humboldt County. This island was also known as Indian Island where women and children were massacred. The Wiyott, Hoopa, Yurok and other tribes have a strong culture and voice in the community. It would be nice to have the same in the Central Valley. It would also be nice to give this sacred site back to the Yokut Tribe. If Eureka can do it so can Exeter.
You do realize these people had nothing to do but hunt n eat. I would pick up a rock and draw all the time also. it wasn't much more than that .
Really? Go out in the woods without all your modern conveniences and see how long you survive............alex
Thanks for the video! My family moved to Exeter in the early 1960s and I'd always heard there were pictograhs on the south side of the hill along with caves. As a kid we used to hike the hill but we could only hike the northern side and never were able to then go down the southern side being thay it's so steep. We were never able to go up the south side since it was private property. When we'd drive on the south side road as a kid we'd see one of the bigger caves. It was always so interesting to me to learn about the Native Americans who used to live there. THANKSGIVING YOU!!!
