- Finding Lost Civilizations, an educational series. Trek with me to the Milpitas special use area, Los Padres National Forest. The Salinan people who live amongst us today inhabited this valley at the time the Spanish explored this area in 1771.
Whoo, keep the videos coming, go Alex !
As usual Alex, a very excellent site report of the village area!
As a long time resident of Calif Central Coast, I truly appreciate your videos.. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your time and a lot of work to share this with us ALL stay safe! A time with more water the creeks flowed to rivers that flow to the sea. Rivers are highways for trade. Man, never gets too far from water
I grew up in Northern CA. There was a place we used to go swimming on the Consumes River. I remember my Aunt showing me the grinding stones along the river. I would love to some day go back and check it out as an adult!
Thank you so much for sharing the history and beauty of this very special site. I really miss visiting this heaven on earth. I have trued twice, but heartbreakingly the access is closed.
Love these videos. Hopefully you can do one around the Placer county area some day! Especially interested to learn more about the Nisenan tribe area. Keep up the good work 👍.
Awesome video Alex! Thank you for teaching me the history of our native brothers, and showing me the beauty of the area.♥️💯👍👏👏👏🖐
Nice music accompanying your journey. ‘Red-tailed hawk feathers I believe. I’ve watched many of your videos Alex and it’s always nice to see new ones. I’ve been gathering larger acorns this fall so that I can make food to share from them. The acorn cookbook you featured piqued my curiosity. I’m going to search it out.
I love when one of your videos show up... presented much like what i experienced when i was a kid there.. yeah, not milpitas but on the monterey peninsula coastline and carmel valley. I spent my first 18 years mainly outside lol so this is just so wonderful to get to be there again. Thank you. And i love the original names of the places, too.
Alex, if you're ever down in the Orange County area it would be an honor to take you around some sites here. I'm a college student and an ethnobotany hobbyist.
JM, thanks for watching the series and your kind words. If I travel to that area I will certainly contact you. Thanks............alex
Loved this, thank you.
Thanks for this; as we've been waiting...
Great stuff
Interesting ancient site, Alex! thanks.
Alfred, thanks for continuing to watch the series.........................alex
I recently became aware of the "Sage Wall, megalithic structure" in Montana.
I would love to hear your take on that.
Thanks a lot.
My father grew up in the Milpitas hills and would show us the sites. Later the little Spokane river, so very cool to see the signs of past forgotten people. We are but just visiting here, Jesus will bring us all back together.
Thank-you Alex
I wonder how far inland the seafood trade went, because goiter becomes a problem in land locked populations. Also, what were the trade routes and are they paved roads now?
Great Horned Owl feathers
So this area is re-opened to the public now or did you get a special pass?
Corey, thanks for watching the series. Yes, the area around Wagon Wheel Cave, Milpitas Special Use Area, Los Padres National Forest, is open........................alex
now that was a feather in your cap 🪶🪶🪶
Red tailed hawk feathers?
Peregrine Falcon? Idk my birds that well. But yeah. Maybe alex sees as a sign there. I know i do.
Thanks for sharing appreciate it so much. and we also must be the Protectors of the land from developers! and polluters! and governments!who allow an ongoing exploitation for the Mighty Dollar$. an example is wild ginseng is endangered in many places even gone now, from the landscape. it was in great abundance but it's hunted because it's a valuable herb! but the government will give a license if you pay to hunt the last one to extinction!college degree APROVED$$
In regards to the native site located in idaho.. these small ponds are connected by a canal linking them together. See the rabbit, the corn the shapes ponds are in the shape of a cross. Very interesting. who claims this area and what do the people's of this area know?
Hello Frank, the location you sent me is to the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh in the Camas Prarie, Idaho area. In that area surrounding the small town of Fairfield you can see Camas Lilies ((Pursh) Greene) in abundant quantities. Native Americans used Camas Lily extensively for medicinal purposes and as a staple food source. Great quantities of camas roots were collected by Native American women and were used to make a bread. The natives in that area that we know are the Shoshone-Paiute and Shoshone-Bannock. However, I could not find any information regarding the Intaglios around the coordinates you provided.............alex
@@storiesbyalex thank you
Thank you so much.. id like to share with all, something that was shown to me and I find no documentation on it. 43 15' 43"N. 115 00'34W
Frank, thanks for watching the series. I located a 1999 document detailing a set of proposals for management of the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh, which is where your coordinates are located. The document states that 18 two acre ponds and a well will be built so that the ponds remain full during the summer period when waters recede from the marsh. So, it appears that the configurations you see on google maps is a recent man made project........alex
I am Esselen and am from the Monterey area. I have done cultural monitoring jobs and archaeological surveying before to ensure that nothing is disturbed. Midden sites aren’t always just garbage cans, they can be burial sites as well. I appreciate your passion for our culture but please do not touch the midden sites, step on the mortars, or take any artifacts you find, leave everything as is. I would suggest bringing an offering of tobacco to the land you go to. I’m grateful for your content and I feel represented while also being educated, and I appreciate your passion for the land very much. But do not take anything with you, and bring an offering of tobacco if you want to do it respectfully. Thank you
I want to add that it’s okay and that your content has educated me and my family very much :)
Also, I feel your love for lost civilization and thank you for doing what you do! ❤
Droopoo, thanks for watching and your comments. Yes, you are correct in that these middens sites can also be burial sites. Hopefully, this series can spark an interest in others to seek further knowledge....................alex
Thank You for educating us!!
Do as instructed and absolutely never take anything you find!
Tread lightly on Earth and Plants!
Be aware of where you are!
Respect and Peace!!
That was a barn owl, most likely hunted by a cougar..... I could be wrong but that's what my gut is tellin meh
Awesome. Finding the grinding holes is always cool. :)
no audio, sadly
Hello Jayster, try now..........................alex
@@storiesbyalex ... interesting because i found and started watching 5 minutes before jayster posted that and i had sound.
Love the journeys you take us on Alex! Absolutely Love all your content my favorite is the old man that looks to the sea!
I wonder if he’s familiar with the megalithic structures the Sage Wall In Montana and Saskhatuan? I have a feeling some of these sites hes visited are destroyed megalithic structures. War of the Gods myth ruins, jk.
firt
I seen a lot of holes like that in rocks at three Rivers, California right behind the lazy j ranch hotel
