I met this Zapotec family by accident while exploring in Teotitlan del Valle in Oaxaca, Mexico. They showed me their ancient 3,000 year old method of rug weaving!
She is excellent in her English and her inflections. You gotta be real smart to speak 3 languages, especially one that you'd rarely use in your country. And especially more English, it's notoriously difficult to learn.
@@0Y09 Any other language is just as hard to learn they only seem harder because English is teached at a very young age in most countries when our brains have a much easier time learning language. I'm Dutch and many people here find German and Spanish easy languages to learn because they started learning it at highschool. Ask the older people and they will say its hard. (Less neuroplasticity)
I speak,read, and write fluently in 4 languages………German, English, Spanish, and Hebrew. The gift of language’s does not mean much, in today’s world. Actually, intelligence and capability, while admired by almost all…..….are usually also bemourned, both by those who have those gifts, AND by those who rule over them. (By birth usually)
Seriously a lost art. She not only spins and dyes her own fabrics but looming too. I know so much but i only have a small understanding of this process. We're losing ancient knowledge with all this technology. Smart teaching her daughter. Her English is actually really excellent compared to some I've heard. Beautiful rugs! I wish I could afford some.
@@detectivebrown6211 i went through hell as a child because of racism. It was colonized by the Spaniards if I recall correctly. I am not Spanish. Take your racism elsewhere. I left a positive comment and you focused on the negativity. & yes technology is causing us to lose so much information. Have a nice day. I will not be replying again. cya....
I could listen to her all day! This is so interesting & she is a great teacher. She needs her own master class lol. Such a labor of love made from nature. Her color mixing skills & knowledge are fascinating! Beautiful colors of the Earth ❤🌎
Right?!?! Can you imagine if she made an account on Patreon, UA-cam, Bigo...(any of the Apps where you do your thing/teach/talk/etc & people donate & send funds to you). I wonder if she knows that she could make one/some of those accounts & probably take care of her entire village of the donations/money that her and the family make. Such a dope woman & an amazing craft!
Dakota I've legit been following u for YEARS. Thru my drug addiction, homelessness, and personal life struggles lol. You always gave me such hope that the world was a good place, even though I suffered and couldn't see it. So thanks man, good vibes ✌🏼 also loved ur videos Abt. Pakistan and Israel, I lived there for years, you brought alot of light to the situation over there. Love from portland oregon.
That spinning wheel is how indians used to make their clothes back in the day. That wheel is almost a symbol of mahatma Gandhi and the gandhian movement. Our hindu scriptures talk of an ancient time when india and Mexico were together, which theory is also supported by plate tectonics. Hence there are a lot of similarities between usm Very poetic that they too came to be called indian.
It's amazing that they have so much meaning for each part of their traditional designs. I never knew that before. As she was explaining about it I was thinking that it sounded similar to astrology. She helped us see how ancient Zapotecs likely came up with these patterns and the ideas they most likely attached to them.
Yah he does. I follow his uncle on FB and UA-cam threw out the suggestion to watch the video where he interviewed him. I'm glad too because Dakota's videos get me out of my head all of the time. & I absolutely love learning and want to travel too myself. & i personally can NOT wait!
Her pronunciation is so satisfying. Her accent is really distinct. Amazing video! Edit: Wow, that really was a fantastic video. The craftsmanship of it all. Amazing.
This is awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed watching her showing us the process of making these pieces of art. I'd definitely like to have one of those carpets. Thank you for making a great educational video.
hope that you make a video with Abigail Mendoza, the famous Zapotec chef of Teotititlan. prehispanic zapotecs had an advanced medicine knowledge, they practiced surgeries. imo one of the most advanced indigenous mesoamerican civilizations along with the Mayans, and Mexicas.
I have a few blankets from the area, they're kinda expensive. When you consider the work involved and it's a bargain though. Tons of awesome people in that area. I wish I was there most the time.
As-Salamu Alaykum from Delano, California..🇺🇸 I'm a Mexican- American Muslim, and I started following you from the Jesus/Isa cave (pbuh)..This is both humbling and beautiful.. She uses nature to run her trade, God is the best of providers..
no links for her "Store"?!? where's the programmers? this lady's business should be on a "BlockChain"! i need to order some rugs. does she make clothing too?!?!?!? geez.
There are no accidents...you were destined to meet that lady.
Exactly my friend
as if she waited her entire life for the moment to share all this knowledge.
so fascinating to watch! thank you for sharing this.
That lady is definitely a kind soul. So much patience and attention given to you to teach how her craft works. Amazing.
She is excellent in her English and her inflections. You gotta be real smart to speak 3 languages, especially one that you'd rarely use in your country. And especially more English, it's notoriously difficult to learn.

Losing these traditions due to "technology "
Lmao I think you mean white colonization

I just started the video & the gift of knowing 3 languages so well... wow. I wish I would've had the desire to learn at a much younger age.
You're NEVER too old to learn! You can do it still!

I love herrrrrr she's so cute with her little Skechers
