Peter, I grew up by the Ramapo Mountain Indians which are also called or know as “Jackson whites” in Nj where NY,NJ,CT all come together. I might have a name I can get you. They haven’t been interviewed I’m pretty sure of that. They are only written about by word of mouth, like on Weird NJ magazine. Let me know if it interests you. There is 4 last names in the tribe. I will get you the name you need. They are very interesting…….
Sam helped me and my family when traveling through we broke down and he helped us get back on the road. My sons were 3 and 4 years old at the time. Love that dude.......
I love that Peter lets people speak their minds without interupting or judging. We all live different realities and it is nice to hear different points of view without bias.
6 million deaths in the U.S. due to COVID and Trump is not a point of view. It's an ignorant lie. According to the CDC the number of deaths in 2020 was 350,831, and the total number of deaths in the U.S. as of today is approximately 1.2 million. Most of these people were within 2 years of their natural non-COVID death.
I went to school in a small district in northern CA, we played against the Hoopa high school in football. I remember taking the long drive up there, the beautiful landscape, and all the awesome people. Before the games, both the JV and varsity team sat with the Hoopa high kids, coaches & parents and had breakfast together. They cooked for us!! I’m not talking regular school food, I mean REAL breakfast. Awesome people.
I went to trinity high and we would play hoopa as well. I remember one time bricks and rocks were thrown through our school bus windows. We were told to not use the bathrooms by ourselves also. This was in the late 90s.
Nobody does better coverage of the real America and its inhabitants than Peter. I’m Native and appreciate beyond words what you are doing. I can't express what these videos mean to me. Thank you.
I am constantly amazed by Peters ability to ask hard questions with so much respect. I feel what he is doing is so underrated. We need more! Thank you!!!
My family stayed at the Tish Tang campground a few years ago. The camp host was so informative and told us about their history. Later that day he brought us a jar of his smoked salmon and thanked us for visiting. We spent the whole next day on the river, eating his salmon and falling in love with the area and the tribe.
I’ma Humboldt county Native American born and raised, and part of the Wiyot tribe-table bluff reservation down river. Glad to see Humboldt getting some recognition, it’s a beautiful place with beautiful people. If you ever want a tour down river and the Humboldt coast we can shine some more light on our beautiful county! Appreciate your videos.
The people I know from growing up around there don’t want people to know and def don’t want visitors. I’m already afraid his last video painted a wildfire target on Humboldt’s back.
How do wiyot feel about other humboldt tribes and yurok specifically, the only algic language on the pacific coast. Yurok and Wiyot are interesting bc they are algonquins that stayed in the west instead of migrating to the northeast
@Mess2k, Greetings! I’m a Wiyot descendant (ancestors from Tuluwat village and Eel River Band). Was just staying in Wiyot territory for the end of summer. Already can’t wait to go back again. If the job situation wasn’t so challenging in the area I’d have already moved there permanently.
As a Wiyot Tribal Member, My family comes from the Eel River and Tuluwat island, Born and raised on Table Bluff, thank you so much for showing love to our people and culture! 🫶🏽 much love and respect 🫶🏽
I'm an enrolled member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe, and we lived on the reservation when I was a little girl. I recently worked for a different Tribe with very different circumstances regarding land and economic vitality. Thank you so much for this!
@@williamsherman2776It was one that had lost their federal status in the 1950s, then fought hard and had an act of Congress re-establish their federal recognition. They also operate a popular casino!
Are you part of the problem? Sounds like a lot of corruption thats what the one guy was complaining about. Your a hot woman I bet you have no problem social climbing or politically operating. Just Make sure you are doing your job For the People while you are getting yours too. Just saying.
Great video. The tribes issues are similar to our issues here in the native Hawaiian community. We’ve always regarded all natives as our indigenous brothers. Thank you for sharing this with us!
"Unless you are a Native American, you came here from someplace else." - Barack Obama The real original Americans who became guests inside their home .. All respect. 🙏🏽🤷
Such a complicated issue here. I admire the tenacity amid this. Honor, respect, tradition is still alive. Thank you for allowing these men speak their views.
Speaking about Native Americans who have already lost their land, their population, and most of all their future. A very sad truth indeed ... The tragedy of Native American people is the saddest thing ever happened in the history of mankind, and the most neglected one as well. Just saying. 😔🤷
i moved to willow creek in 2018 and went to highschool in hoopa spending my adult years here has been a blessing and being able to connect with people from a place that no one really knows about and making life long connections has been amazing. even met my now pregnant wife here and cant wait to raise my children in such a strong community
Congrats on the baby coming soon! I have been all over that area from working with the county and fishing ever since I could walk. The willow creek/Hoopa area are strong inside me. Very beautiful and peaceful area to live in. Nothing wrong with raising a child there and spending a lifetime. Been a while since I been to willow creek, but I might come play the golf course soon again. Take care and enjoy the new baby!
@michaelghgg do you dance around in a deer suit around a fire for good luck? If so, youre delusional too. Furthermore, it's no secret where they came from. We all came from the same place. We're all created by God. It's no crazy, mythological, hidden, pandora box secret.
Watch everything Saturday from Dublin Ireland...absolutely fascinating...throwing light into corners of American life and society that many like myself don't know exist...congratulations Peter!
There is beauty in your videos, no matter where you go. You listen well, invite others to open up and give us all a glimpse of something special. Thank you Peter!
Yeah that guy he found by my town Arcata, I had no idea about his music or anything. And that guy was a great tour guide, he was a good representation of our area.
I assume nowdays many just approach him online because they know his great work. In the beginning it was way harder and mostly him just going there and talk to people.
@@henriklarssen1331 Peter also has a "scout" guy that goes out before him to meet the people/plan the locations (which makes sense), but so credit to that guy too who we never see!
In the early 70’s my friend and I traveled from Sonoma State College to Weitchpec. We were going to kayak down the Klamath to the ocean. At our first stop on the river, after we set up camp, we were met by several Native guys about our own age (early 20’s). We traded some of our beers for some of their smoked salmon. I’ve always felt we got the better deal!!! The memories of that trip have stayed with me. I was (and still am) enthralled with the people we met. What a beautiful people and culture!! Thank you for sharing this video. Sam’s kindness really touched me!! The Hoopa deserve to be honored!!
I love how no matter what is going on, or how deep you're into something, you always ask if it's ok before you do anything. You never assume its ok. Its a small part of trust building that has the biggest impact. Great video, once again! 💚
@@samjones1946 One of my favorite videos so far. I am far away in New York State. Very close to me is the Seneca Nation of Indians, formerly part of the Iroquois Confederacy. Technically called the Cattaraugus Reservation, and another close one is Allegany Reservation. I visit them often for various reasons, gas station, tobacco, casino but I want to do more to learn the culture of people that were here LONG before America. I just don't even know where to start. So for now I appreciate all of what you and other members of the other nations have shared.
Your videos are more honest and real than most "news" that is out there who all seem to have an agenda to advance. What you are doing is more than fun and informative, its very needed.
When I was young growing up in Northern California I volunteered one Summer to be a Camp Counselor for two weeks at Whiskeytown Lake above Redding. The idea for me was to have fun and teach kids to camp and hike and all of that. My group of kids wound up all being Hoopa Indians. :) We had a blast, but those kids knew a lot more about the outdoors than I did! ;)
@@nathangreer8219yes. Some of the cabins burned down in the 2018 Carr Fire. Slowly, donations have rolled in and the cabins/camp is being restore. I went to band camp there in the summer of 1970 and 1971.
Sam is a wonderful guide and his ink work is superb. Samuel was also a delightful source of knowledge and realistic views on their tribe and reservation. Thank you for giving us this chance to hear their insight, Peter.
I stayed at a native owned AirBnB in the town of Hoopa in 2018. Everyone was so friendly and we were able to pick wild blackberries on their property. The nature and the Trinity river is breathtaking!! Thank you for the informative video Peter!!
I truly love this videos. We grew up on rez and with natives all throughout middle and highschool palace, Pauma, Rincon. So many tribes we had within the little city we grew up in. They had some of the best foundations as kids. You also didnt mess with them. They stood together. 💪 I thank you for sharing their stories, voices and journey. I so appreciate this.
My father was allowed onto the hoopa res in the 70s. He lived in Etna, him and I have always had an afinity with nature and our Native friends. This episode is the best way to start the weekend.
I can't believe I just saw an Exeter wrestling T-shirt worn by Sam. That's like an 8 hour drive south to Tulare County. There's a story there in itself! Great video. Thank you.
@@reconsideringcinema4557 that caught my eye too plus the fact I used to live in Humboldt County, now back here in Visalia but if I would have had a choice I’d be in Humboldt.
Loved this video. My mom was born on the Hoopa reservation in 1933 as perhaps the first white baby born there. My grandfather was a civil engineer working building the roads in that area. My grandmother told me wonderful stories about living there at that time.
A lot of people make videos and try to vilify our area. They focus on small cases of violence instead of focusing on our beauty and our wonderful, welcoming people.
For real. It's hella surreal to see someone make a positive video about us. We usually only get vids made about us on weed, missing ppl and redwoods lol.
The Hoopa are amazing and very cool, I got to work alongside Hoopa TCCC (tribal civilian conservation corps) during several Americorps disaster response team deployments. Deep, dignified, humorous, generous, hard working and occasionally hard partying young folks. I was coming from the WCC (WA conservation corps), and we all worked together to help people recover/repair their flooded homes, basically for minimum wage and educational credit
Thank you for sharing about Northern California, a lot of people here feel left behind by the local, state, and federal governments. Having been here all my life, born and raised, I think it's an extremely important issue that largely goes unseen outside of our communities. I hope this video brings attention to that and maybe more people can start to see the brightness still here in our Northern California towns and communities.
You have the best channel on UA-cam, period. Is it wholesome content and enlightens us about all different kinds of places we will never go. Thank you so much!!
My parents grew up in Salyer and went to Hoopa High. Got married and lived on the Rez, my two older sisters were born there. They moved off the Rez so Dad could go to Carpenter school in Berkeley where I was born...we settled in the Sacramento area. Dad/we are Native Karuk and we have a lot of family history in that area. I have cousins who live there and one was on the tribal counsel for a while. Lot has changed since we used to visit growing up. Interesting to see some of the sights I recognize. Thanks for the adventure.😁😁
Sacramento area here too. Vast difference between there and here. I would much rather be there, surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of nature. We used to have it here at the river until it became overrun by the homeless and their trash. It was my place to walk my dogs, ride my horse, rarely saw anyone, now forget it.
Any and more stories, videos about our native people awe awesome. They deserve more attention and are so mistreated. Plus I find it all interesting, their history, but Peter does such a great job interviewing and finding what it's like for the current day person living in a certain place
I went to college in Humboldt and LOVED it, back before even a real grocery store was there. Love the Hoopa folks and hope they keep their piece of the world and are left alone.
I always enjoy knowing there's going to be something good to watch on Saturday. And the fact that your videos aren't heavily polluted with commercial interruption makes it even better.
Hi Peter. I worked for the Hoopa Tribe for five years (07-12) in the Hoopa Tribal Clinic. I met many wonderful people, and loved the beauty of the place. I think I have talked to Sam and Inker all those years ago. I really appreciate the video work you do.
I was taken by surprise by your post. I worked at Hoopa Valley Tribal Medical clinic in 1973. Larry Vickman was the doctor. The county hospital branch was there then, too. That was the year Dr. Burnett hit a cow in his Porsche and was killed 😢. Anyway, just saying hi!
I am sure you have heard it a lot but you are probably the most honest & immersive reporter ive ever seen. You go into each community, which is more often than not polar opposites from the last community you visited, and truthfully report what you learn. Anybody can do what the news people do and pay some one to talk to them and insincerely "report". what you do is unique and impressive, you seem to bring the communities daily lives, true feelings and concerns to the forefront and report it without personal bias. Thank you 🙏🏻
I always learn something new and interesting about other places in my own country because of you and those who want to tell us their story and enlighten us on what's really happening at a grass roots level. THANKS PETER!❤😊
I truly understand the First Nation struggle, being Alaskan Native born raised. What upsets me is they are so land based, pick up the trash. Love the land they all say love protect the land. No one picks up the trash.
No One can pick up all the litter too much. Millions of people littered the lands it takes armies to clean it, also the people do try clean up. . go complain to the biggest litter bugs Government and Big Corporations. They are the solution right!
They seem a lot like the blacks complaining about the ghetto. Sure, the government screwed them a long time ago, but now all they do is complain without trying to clean it up themselves and waiting on the government for handouts to fix it. They're reliant on casino revenue and passive income which they typically turn into booze and drugs.
@@almaallen1491 back in the 70s when I was in middle school we studied the Eskimo's, I always thought it was so cool how they used every part of a fish .Although I don't think I could eat the eyeball😆😆 The bones were used for needles fishing hooks nothing wasted ! Native American history is very interesting our four -fathers could have learned so much instead of being the savages they were!
How do you come to a land you don’t know see people there invent a contract with conditions you made and tell the people native to that land that you want to split half of it an your asking to split half an then when the natives agree to share there land you import more Caucasians an military force to threaten the natives with violence if they don’t move over until you take the whole land that’s the basis of all the treaties made by Caucasians how is that not white supremacy ?
I support everything what Inker said ❤I literally had goosebumps when he was talking about Mother Earth and the way tribes once lived WITH her and not just on her. A home, food and plenty of nature (we need to take care of, physically but also spiritually) is all we need. That is heaven on earth, that is paradise. Not something that is coming after death. It could all be here and now if we allow it 🙏
When sam starts talking about the stick games, the deep voice and the natural tree trunk forearms starts to paint a picture in your head of a gentle man that could turn into a warrior at a moments notice...
It is SSOOOO hysterical seeing Sam & Artie!!! I know every turn in this video! Believe everything!!! This is the way life is out here! This is an awesome video!!!
I camped there in the 70's and there was a huge sasquatch carving in the entrance to the tribal headquarters and grocery store and the peoole were so nice to me in the grocery store . Lots of bigfoots there .😊❤
I grew up a bit east of here, and in middle school basketball the Hoopa were surrounded by a kind of mythos: "Watch out for the Hoopa." They were supposed to be super tough on the court, and we were all worried we'd have to play em at a tournament in Quincy in 7th grade. We never did, so I never got to meet them for myself, but I'm very happy to see a very humanizing portrayal here. It's obvious they're just like anyone.
I played against them in a middle school tournament in Crescent City. We beat them but they were really tough then as well. They seem to peak in middle school. After that athletically they are no longer top contenders.
The Native Americans where I live (Great Plains) also have great HS basketball teams. Just watching them warm up, they're so disciplined and precise with their shots, you know you're in for a tough fight. They have won several state championships.
Another wonderful vlog 💖💖💖.... This injustice that continues with our Native Brothers and Sisters.... Just brings me to tears and infuriating.... Keep up the great work Peter 💖
Im maori from NZ. One of my fav uploads yet Peter thank you. Sending love to you and your people Sam thank you for allowing us into your world and beautiful culture. You are an inspiration brother. May the force be with you
Do the pit river tribe next I personally know Ross Montgomery’s son his name is also Ross. Coolest people up in the northeastern corner of California from Montgomery creek to Alturas. If you don’t overlook this comment I can 110% get you a video like this for pit river tribe. There’s a few different rezs and we would most likely guide you through smith camp or big bend reservation.
@@PeterSantenello you would have gotten a high score from my journalism and photojournalism teacher, Mr Curry Leslie. Maybe you can go interview him in Raleigh, NC before we lose his voice and knowledge.
My wife and I got married at Tish Tang campground in 2016. Inker does an incredible job of stewarding the land and acting as an ambassador for all who travel through. Cannot recommend enough that you visit. We go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. Very special place full of beautiful people!
Absolutely the best UA-cam channel for accurate Close Captions (CC) sub-titles in all videos. So very useful for non-native English speakers and for deaf / hard of hearing watchers! As an example, at 11:09 it reads: [bird of prey caws], something that the editor did not have to put in, because it was only a two seconds background noise, but such a nice touch. Really, really appreciated.
Click instantly on your videos Peter. Just a guy from Scotland who is amazed by your content !! Dont ever comment on anything but feel the need to give my appreciation Thank you
With TV comes fake reality, directed by people who know nothing outside oftheir Hollywood bubble. Stay the hell away from TV. Peter gets more views on his shows than the Discovery Channel, anyway.
Oh the hoopa they make and sell stuff from their tribe in Arizona or New Mexico I bought something about the grandmother hooba being a story teller. I love story tellers
North America and South America will always belong to Native American people.❤✊ It's really sad and disgusting how so many indigenous people of the Americas were wiped out by Genocide and Colonialism.
Fantastic video as always, Peter. Your style of interview is unmatched. It's clear that you try to stay unbiased. I really like the content in all your videos. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are the real thing. Our big media is all about money. You are meeting what needs to be shown. My compliments to you and your wife for sharing such great content. 🏆

its not for native beliefs.. Its just a general respect thing, he does it with other videos too.

True, it’s a general respect thing.
And yet, since this particular video is about Hoopa, it is (also) a respect for the Natives here.

Yeah that guy he found by my town Arcata, I had no idea about his music or anything. And that guy was a great tour guide, he was a good representation of our area.
I assume nowdays many just approach him online because they know his great work.
In the beginning it was way harder and mostly him just going there and talk to people.
Thank you 😁
@@henriklarssen1331 Peter also has a "scout" guy that goes out before him to meet the people/plan the locations (which makes sense), but so credit to that guy too who we never see!
Sam was a great tour guide! His laugh was infectious. We thoroughly enjoyed this episode! ❤
He does have a great laugh.
In the early 70’s my friend and I traveled from Sonoma State College to Weitchpec. We were going to kayak down the Klamath to the ocean. At our first stop on the river, after we set up camp, we were met by several Native guys about our own age (early 20’s). We traded some of our beers for some of their smoked salmon. I’ve always felt we got the better deal!!!
The memories of that trip have stayed with me. I was (and still am) enthralled with the people we met. What a beautiful people and culture!! Thank you for sharing this video. Sam’s kindness really touched me!! The Hoopa deserve to be honored!!
This man's voice is deeper than the ocean itself
Robert's voice on everyone loves Raymond lol
Peter somehow summoned native joe rogan 💀💀
It has a similar timbre to the Rock’s, to me. So yes I agree! :)
Too much Peace pipe smoking!
@ 😆. Assuming they still do that!!
I love how no matter what is going on, or how deep you're into something, you always ask if it's ok before you do anything. You never assume its ok. Its a small part of trust building that has the biggest impact. Great video, once again! 💚
Private property, it's called. Physical or not, private property.
Thank you so much for sharing your culture and heritage with us Sam!!!!
Your welcome 😁
@@samjones1946 One of my favorite videos so far. I am far away in New York State. Very close to me is the Seneca Nation of Indians, formerly part of the Iroquois Confederacy. Technically called the Cattaraugus Reservation, and another close one is Allegany Reservation. I visit them often for various reasons, gas station, tobacco, casino but I want to do more to learn the culture of people that were here LONG before America. I just don't even know where to start. So for now I appreciate all of what you and other members of the other nations have shared.
@@AlwaysGoofyGibbshell yeah brother I appreciate it
These videos are as much of my Saturdays as cartoons were when I was a kid.
Jonny Quest!
@ Yes! Super Friends, Land of the Lost and Hong Kong Phooey.
Bugs Bunny and Road Runner😊
Thunder cats, Captain planet
Me too, I havent missed one
1 minute into the video and you already know it is going to be interesting.
And a lot of blaming someone else for their problems
@beanDoggins the guy mad at himself for enlisting, isn't exactly blaming someone else? What do you reference?
Yeah those apples look good 😊
It was an intro you coconut.
Congratulations to the winners!🎉 Robert thank you for your generosity.
Your videos are more honest and real than most "news" that is out there who all seem to have an agenda to advance. What you are doing is more than fun and informative, its very needed.
Yeah nobody watches fake news unless they are on their payroll!
Wait .....what, you mean the Veiw isn't honest nor real 😊
When I was young growing up in Northern California I volunteered one Summer to be a Camp Counselor for two weeks at Whiskeytown Lake above Redding. The idea for me was to have fun and teach kids to camp and hike and all of that. My group of kids wound up all being Hoopa Indians. :) We had a blast, but those kids knew a lot more about the outdoors than I did! ;)
Whiskeytown counselor alum here from Chico St. Awesome week, banana slugs and all😂
Was this the ecology camp on Clear Creek a few miles below the dam? I attended as a 6th grader in 1982.
Yes@@nathangreer8219
@@nathangreer8219yes. Some of the cabins burned down in the 2018 Carr Fire. Slowly, donations have rolled in and the cabins/camp is being restore. I went to band camp there in the summer of 1970 and 1971.
Sam is a wonderful guide and his ink work is superb. Samuel was also a delightful source of knowledge and realistic views on their tribe and reservation. Thank you for giving us this chance to hear their insight, Peter.
I stayed at a native owned AirBnB in the town of Hoopa in 2018. Everyone was so friendly and we were able to pick wild blackberries on their property. The nature and the Trinity river is breathtaking!! Thank you for the informative video Peter!!
@@autumnreed7537 yep and that’s how they are assimilating them. Get them in on the business
Love seeing my tribe get some representation! Much love ♥️
Peter is the man! Every Saterday the Family watches together. 🤟
I truly love this videos. We grew up on rez and with natives all throughout middle and highschool palace, Pauma, Rincon. So many tribes we had within the little city we grew up in. They had some of the best foundations as kids. You also didnt mess with them. They stood together. 💪
I thank you for sharing their stories, voices and journey. I so appreciate this.
as someone who use to work with Hoopa and Yurok natives on the rez, this was amazing!!! Thank you for sharing and being so respectful.
Also seeing the roads I use to drive brought me back ❤
I really enjoyed Samuel's comments. So positive. A true leader.
Thank you ❤
Man, Sam and Samuel are so warm and bright, just wanna say that. Tish a Tang campground is a gem truly.
Thanks for keeping it real Santenello and much respect for the people speaking from their soul.
My father was allowed onto the hoopa res in the 70s. He lived in Etna, him and I have always had an afinity with nature and our Native friends. This episode is the best way to start the weekend.
Same with my dad a lot don’t realize you had to be invited back in the day
Honestly, there's no movie, show or any other channel on the Internet that puts out an equivalent in quality to this channel.
Like Huell Howser " California Gold" X 10
Agreed! ❤️❤️❤️
Channel 5
That guys dad the elder with the blue flannel really knows his, stuff and what’s going on around him and all the ways to improve there tribe also.
I can't believe I just saw an Exeter wrestling T-shirt worn by Sam. That's like an 8 hour drive south to Tulare County. There's a story there in itself! Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for clarification on which Exeter. I grew up in Tulare County.
Sam was a very good wrestler in HS
It was the Exeter shirt that got me to click on the vid. Over here in Visalia. Good stuff, Peter. Watched the whole vid.
I Love Peters videos, watching from the original Exeter, Southwest, England 👍
@@reconsideringcinema4557 that caught my eye too plus the fact I used to live in Humboldt County, now back here in Visalia but if I would have had a choice I’d be in Humboldt.
Loved this video. My mom was born on the Hoopa reservation in 1933 as perhaps the first white baby born there. My grandfather was a civil engineer working building the roads in that area. My grandmother told me wonderful stories about living there at that time.
Seems like a solid dude in many ways. We appreciate you letting us have a glimpse of your beautiful country and people.
This is the area of California I am from. It was nice to see you visit Humboldt county, thank you for showing us in a good way.
A lot of people make videos and try to vilify our area. They focus on small cases of violence instead of focusing on our beauty and our wonderful, welcoming people.
For real. It's hella surreal to see someone make a positive video about us. We usually only get vids made about us on weed, missing ppl and redwoods lol.
@@shy404usernotfound Lmao right.
I never thought I’d see a video of Humboldt in a positive light that actually made it look like a positive and nice place to be lol
@@shy404usernotfound whats with the missing people?
The Hoopa are amazing and very cool, I got to work alongside Hoopa TCCC (tribal civilian conservation corps) during several Americorps disaster response team deployments. Deep, dignified, humorous, generous, hard working and occasionally hard partying young folks. I was coming from the WCC (WA conservation corps), and we all worked together to help people recover/repair their flooded homes, basically for minimum wage and educational credit
You left with lessons learned that will be with and you’ll apply throughout your lifetime and hopefully you will share by paying them forward.
Thank you for sharing about Northern California, a lot of people here feel left behind by the local, state, and federal governments. Having been here all my life, born and raised, I think it's an extremely important issue that largely goes unseen outside of our communities. I hope this video brings attention to that and maybe more people can start to see the brightness still here in our Northern California towns and communities.
You have the best channel on UA-cam, period. Is it wholesome content and enlightens us about all different kinds of places we will never go. Thank you so much!!
My parents grew up in Salyer and went to Hoopa High. Got married and lived on the Rez, my two older sisters were born there. They moved off the Rez so Dad could go to Carpenter school in Berkeley where I was born...we settled in the Sacramento area. Dad/we are Native Karuk and we have a lot of family history in that area. I have cousins who live there and one was on the tribal counsel for a while. Lot has changed since we used to visit growing up. Interesting to see some of the sights I recognize. Thanks for the adventure.😁😁
Sacramento area here too. Vast difference between there and here. I would much rather be there, surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of nature. We used to have it here at the river until it became overrun by the homeless and their trash. It was my place to walk my dogs, ride my horse, rarely saw anyone, now forget it.
Any and more stories, videos about our native people awe awesome. They deserve more attention and are so mistreated. Plus I find it all interesting, their history, but Peter does such a great job interviewing and finding what it's like for the current day person living in a certain place
Nothing better than start a Saturday watching your videos. Great work Peter.
Yeah it's great 👍
This guy’s dad is absolute gold
Yeah, could talk to that dude for hours haha, either one of his dads
Thank you Peter, much of it not known. It's a big world that you help to bring it closer. You rock
I went to college in Humboldt and LOVED it, back before even a real grocery store was there. Love the Hoopa folks and hope they keep their piece of the world and are left alone.
there's been grocery stores in Humboldt since the 1800s
I always enjoy knowing there's going to be something good to watch on Saturday. And the fact that your videos aren't heavily polluted with commercial interruption makes it even better.
What a pleasure to watch another one Peter, Sam was an amazing guide and such a good soul.
Peace from Australia
Thank you 😊
Thanks for this - once again, you find stuff nobody else does. Or, for that matter "can", Keep at it!
Hi Peter. I worked for the Hoopa Tribe for five years (07-12) in the Hoopa Tribal Clinic. I met many wonderful people, and loved the beauty of the place. I think I have talked to Sam and Inker all those years ago. I really appreciate the video work you do.
I was taken by surprise by your post. I worked at Hoopa Valley Tribal Medical clinic in 1973. Larry Vickman was the doctor. The county hospital branch was there then, too. That was the year Dr. Burnett hit a cow in his Porsche and was killed 😢. Anyway, just saying hi!
I am sure you have heard it a lot but you are probably the most honest & immersive reporter ive ever seen. You go into each community, which is more often than not polar opposites from the last community you visited, and truthfully report what you learn. Anybody can do what the news people do and pay some one to talk to them and insincerely "report". what you do is unique and impressive, you seem to bring the communities daily lives, true feelings and concerns to the forefront and report it without personal bias. Thank you 🙏🏻
I always learn something new and interesting about other places in my own country because of you and those who want to tell us their story and enlighten us on what's really happening at a grass roots level. THANKS PETER!❤😊
I truly understand the First Nation struggle, being Alaskan Native born raised.
What upsets me is they are so land based, pick up the trash. Love the land they all say love protect the land. No one picks up the trash.
No One can pick up all the litter too much. Millions of people littered the lands it takes armies to clean it, also the people do try clean up. . go complain to the biggest litter bugs Government and Big Corporations. They are the solution right!
They seem a lot like the blacks complaining about the ghetto. Sure, the government screwed them a long time ago, but now all they do is complain without trying to clean it up themselves and waiting on the government for handouts to fix it. They're reliant on casino revenue and passive income which they typically turn into booze and drugs.
It’s a Story of next time, people like Garden Art? 😂🤙❤️
Just look how they live and the shit in and around their houses.
@@almaallen1491 back in the 70s when I was in middle school we studied the Eskimo's, I always thought it was so cool how they used every part of a fish .Although I don't think I could eat the eyeball😆😆
The bones were used for needles fishing hooks nothing wasted !
Native American history is very interesting our four -fathers could have learned so much instead of being the savages they were!
Thanks Peter. Fantastic job. Enough said
I am so grateful for you uncovering previously unknown humanity and history. thank you, peter.
Sam’s got that laugh then is contagious when he laughs you just can help but laugh to. He’s a awesome person
Thank you brother 😁
As a mix blood Cherokee - Eastern Band Cherokee Tribe - TY for doing the work u do for USA Tribes❤️🤍💙
I too have Cherokee heritage. Family from North Carolina.
How do you come to a land you don’t know see people there invent a contract with conditions you made and tell the people native to that land that you want to split half of it an your asking to split half an then when the natives agree to share there land you import more Caucasians an military force to threaten the natives with violence if they don’t move over until you take the whole land that’s the basis of all the treaties made by Caucasians how is that not white supremacy ?
@@marialeibrandt5270 I need to marry an auntie 😂
@@Dookies172 I’m an Ama & already married -lol- I’ll take it as a compliment 🙏😉😘✌️
@ Respect Sister 🙏❤️🤗
I support everything what Inker said ❤I literally had goosebumps when he was talking about Mother Earth and the way tribes once lived WITH her and not just on her. A home, food and plenty of nature (we need to take care of, physically but also spiritually) is all we need. That is heaven on earth, that is paradise. Not something that is coming after death. It could all be here and now if we allow it 🙏
When sam starts talking about the stick games, the deep voice and the natural tree trunk forearms starts to paint a picture in your head of a gentle man that could turn into a warrior at a moments notice...
It is SSOOOO hysterical seeing Sam & Artie!!! I know every turn in this video! Believe everything!!! This is the way life is out here! This is an awesome video!!!
I camped there in the 70's and there was a huge sasquatch carving in the entrance to the tribal headquarters and grocery store and the peoole were so nice to me in the grocery store . Lots of bigfoots there .😊❤
I grew up a bit east of here, and in middle school basketball the Hoopa were surrounded by a kind of mythos: "Watch out for the Hoopa." They were supposed to be super tough on the court, and we were all worried we'd have to play em at a tournament in Quincy in 7th grade. We never did, so I never got to meet them for myself, but I'm very happy to see a very humanizing portrayal here. It's obvious they're just like anyone.
I live down on the coast and it is cool to see how good of athletes their youth are. They take it seriously for sure!
I played against them in a middle school tournament in Crescent City. We beat them but they were really tough then as well. They seem to peak in middle school. After that athletically they are no longer top contenders.
The Native Americans where I live (Great Plains) also have great HS basketball teams. Just watching them warm up, they're so disciplined and precise with their shots, you know you're in for a tough fight. They have won several state championships.
Oof
@@MsCwebbI went to Trinity Valley. We won that tourney a few times. Was always the biggest tournament of the season.
Respect for Peter .... who Respects people as they are. Down to Earth and for Real.
Hoopa!!!!!! I love the people upriver and down river, I'm Navajo and Mescalero Apache and had the privilege and honor to attend there ceremony.
Apache and Mexican Indigenous here ✊✊✊✊
Another wonderful vlog 💖💖💖.... This injustice that continues with our Native Brothers and Sisters.... Just brings me to tears and infuriating.... Keep up the great work Peter 💖
Northern California is beautiful beyond words. First visit December of 2023 and was absolutely astounded.
Sams voice is just so unique what a cool dude thank you Sam for giving us a glimpse into you and your peoples lives
Your welcome brother
Im maori from NZ. One of my fav uploads yet Peter thank you. Sending love to you and your people Sam thank you for allowing us into your world and beautiful culture. You are an inspiration brother. May the force be with you
@@noobatronicusjedi2667 Thank you
I love it when you check in on our native villages, each one has its own story 🤙🏽
Yes, you definitely cannot compare the Cherokees or Seminoles to these deadbeats.
Do the pit river tribe next I personally know Ross Montgomery’s son his name is also Ross. Coolest people up in the northeastern corner of California from Montgomery creek to Alturas. If you don’t overlook this comment I can 110% get you a video like this for pit river tribe. There’s a few different rezs and we would most likely guide you through smith camp or big bend reservation.
Do you know Gladys O'Neal or Florence Buckskin ?
Love your videos. You explore everything and let people tell their stories. I appreciate it!
Thank you so much!
@@PeterSantenello you would have gotten a high score from my journalism and photojournalism teacher, Mr Curry Leslie.
Maybe you can go interview him in Raleigh, NC before we lose his voice and knowledge.
I love his voice...like a strong warm hug! Luv from Ottawa Canada
My wife and I got married at Tish Tang campground in 2016. Inker does an incredible job of stewarding the land and acting as an ambassador for all who travel through. Cannot recommend enough that you visit. We go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. Very special place full of beautiful people!
That hug at the end ❤ thanks for the share ✌️
Peter always listens. It's a gift. Every time he goes on a reservation he gives respect. We all need to listen to Native peoples.
We can listen but should feel free to point out if we hear something really stupid.
We all need to listen to what is not now common, and that is common sense.
@@drawntoviewdamn near everything that dude said was extremely stupid
Absolutely the best UA-cam channel for accurate Close Captions (CC) sub-titles in all videos. So very useful for non-native English speakers and for deaf / hard of hearing watchers! As an example, at 11:09 it reads: [bird of prey caws], something that the editor did not have to put in, because it was only a two seconds background noise, but such a nice touch. Really, really appreciated.
Click instantly on your videos Peter.
Just a guy from Scotland who is amazed by your content !!
Dont ever comment on anything but feel the need to give my appreciation
Thank you
Love ❤️ Scotland and just a woman from Denver, Colorado, USA 🇺🇸
Interesting episode with mixed feelings but that’s what I like about your podcasts 😊
Thank you @petersantenello for recognizing and sharing our culture and tribes of our forgotten people I put you in my prayers always
Peter definitely needs to have his own TV show, he just keeps content fresh and always interesting and so vast! Great job brother!!!!
TV is going the way of the dinosaur...more people would probably watch him on YT
No stay independent ❤
With TV comes fake reality, directed by people who know nothing outside oftheir Hollywood bubble. Stay the hell away from TV. Peter gets more views on his shows than the Discovery Channel, anyway.
I appreciate that but this is the new TV. More eyeballs here than anywhere else and I can keep creative control.
@PeterSantenello you are absolutely right, keep up the great work we all appreciate the great videos!!!!!
Thanks, Sam, for letting us visit your Hoopa homeland. Cheers all. 🇨🇦
Oh the hoopa they make and sell stuff from their tribe in Arizona or New Mexico I bought something about the grandmother hooba being a story teller. I love story tellers
Your welcome 😁
North America and South America will always belong to Native American people.❤✊
It's really sad and disgusting how so many indigenous people of the Americas were wiped out by Genocide and Colonialism.
Fantastic video as always, Peter. Your style of interview is unmatched. It's clear that you try to stay unbiased. I really like the content in all your videos. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are the real thing. Our big media is all about money. You are meeting what needs to be shown. My compliments to you and your wife for sharing such great content. 🏆
