@@NavajoManLakotaBae I love the stories of the Navajo people and its very sad the struggles that were forced upon them by evil people who were and still are greedy and uncaring to this day .
Thank you for this personal and heartfelt video. 🙏Brought memories back from when my wife and I visited her aunt, who was teaching at the res.' Chinle High School in the late 1980s. We were staying with her aunt's dear friend Silvia Begay and Silvia's husband John at their home in Window Rock. John was a geologist and white man who were privy to the U.S. corporate mining greed on the Nation's land and Silvia & John were not happy about the doings of Pete MacDonald. Those were sad turbulent times and the Nation was divided. Things seem to have turned out for the better in the last 30 years. It's definitely time for me to return and enjoy the Navajo hospitality again. Miss the people, Canyon de Chelly and Tse yaa Kini.
Here from Peter Santenello's channel! Thank you so much for the walk through the land, geography, and history. It strikes me that many of us are physically disconnected from our pasts, and this video is so relational and (literally) grounded in comparison to most history content I consume. It's special. Thank you!
Thank you. Your Ancesters, may be gone , but, through you they are still around. I am part Native , probably from four different peoples. I'm, also, part Spanish, part Middle East, The Native part of me , let's me see thinges on the Earth everyday. The Ancesters, guide me to live a beautiful life. Finding and accepting, JESUS, has been a beatific experience. We are all children of one GOD, who created us. Walking, with , JESUS, is a good way to see the world, and to live in peace in this confusing world.
Thank you VERY much for acknowledging our Mexican culture. I wish mexico would cherish and honor the mexican side of the native culture.. we are all one. Indigenous people people of the Americas. Blessings
its one of the navajo clans (the mexican clan) it means somewhere along the line a person of that desent was adopted into the navajo tribe. there are also orginal navajo clans of course but alot of navajos have that clan as were all southern tribes of course we would have mixed some way or another. But that is also my grandmas dads clan :) which makes it one of hers
The indigenous culture gets plenty of recognition in Mexico. The names of a lot of cities and towns are of indigenous origin. The influence is in the food, traditions and customs. It’s every where.
Greetings. I'm here because of Peter Santenello's video with you at the Pine Ridge res. It is interesting to know that about the same time your ancestors were being uprooted by the US government to Mexico, my great great grandparents were fighting against the same US Army in the Philippine-American War. We share the same history in this regard. As a cyclist, I love roads and the open skies. I can truly say that your Navajo country is breath-takingly beautiful.
MUCH .... RESPECT YOUNG MAN,. ..VERY PROUD OF YOU WALKING AS A FULL BLOODED DIN'E....YOU HAVE A STRONG FAMILY, GOOD LOOKING BOYS OF 2 NATIONS , 2 OF THE LARGEST TRIBES , YOU HAVE MANY TALENTS, YOU ARE NOT CONFUSED 🤔 LIKE A LOT OF YOUNGSTERS ARE , YOU MAKE ME PROUD TO BE LAKOTA...A'HO...
Once I seen that he was a young man & had this much passion for his culture, it was an instant sub, same with his brother! I'm 1/2 Apache & 1/2 Irish, so came from 2 warrior bloodlines that have known nothing but suffering, & stealing our cultures!!! 😠 I grew up speaking Spanish, but with blonde hair & blue eyes, with an official dialect from Mexico it really confuses people! 😆 Wish I knew my cultures true languages though, but at least I know my cultures & fully embrace them, sadly that's more than most.....
@@lovellebrown1274 You have to understand that Natives are the most corrupt leaders in America, they own several casinos and yet keep the money to the themselves (owners), corruption is rampant, most crimes, most addicted pupulation, least achievers, with no innovative ability and skills amongst the population. Be thankful that Europeans came and civilized the land. But even then, Natives remained unproductive and still harbor the mentality pre-colonization.
Yeah but he conveniently leaves out the part of the story where the "Natives" first attacked white settlers, most of whom was just passing through and killed innocent men Women AND CHILDREN for years and after taking so much of that the white settlers had no choice but to fight back... But when you play the victim card you can't tell that part of the story...
Thank you for this beautiful vlog. My relatives were sent to Carlisle and Phoenix Industrial residential schools by force. It is important to pass on history but just as important to allow for generational healing. The twindians are blessed to have such strong parents and grandparents.
They were sent there by force because your relatives will not stop attacking innocent settlers most of whom was just passing through. So cut the bs.. u guys killed innocent men women and children for years and now play the victim card bc you got hot back...
Our history is amazing!! I love the strength and perseverance that we as Dine have still to this day. If anyone has time, you MUST read Evangeline Parsons-Yazzie's books. Her stories are written so well. There's also a lot of Navajo language spoken there too. Thank you for sharing your family's history.
I recently learned of my Navajo family history dating back to 1580. Thanks to the Spanish Fransican priests, the documents archived in Mexico City Catholic library.
Watched you on Peters videos. Your knowledge is awesome and I am so glad that you are continuing to carry on the history of your elders and passing on to your children. You should feel very proud of your efforts ❤
I seen the wind blowing on the dried grass around the Hogan house. At that time I felt the many tears blowing in the wind their broken spirits are still there. This is Sacred ground.
I'm sure you know this already, GERONIMO of the chiricahua APACHE was the last great leader who was still free & fighting, until he surrendered on March 27, 1886. He died of pneumonia at the Fort Sill hospital. He spent the last years of his life far from h1is native lands, He died February17, 1909.He is buried in Beef Creek APACHE Cemetery in Fort Sill, Oklahoma😢-- thank you for this video👍
Geronimo pleaded with Teddy Roosevelt who was president at that time to please let him go back to his ancestors land and Teddy Roosevelt was absolutely against it because of all the history and the bloodshed that was connected to Geronimo and his people besides you know politicians they're all about kissing up they don't want to rile any feathers of the people who support them under the table it's the same today it's corruption at some of the highest degree everybody knows it I hope the New World Order is the platform for the Antichrist and he cares less what nationality you are we all must put our faith in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ if you believe with all your heart you will will will be saved the Apostle Paul Who was appointed by Jesus Christ himself after the resurrection said the whole world will be judged according to my gospel given to me not by man but by revelation of Jesus Christ the Apostle Paul said twice that have even an angel or somebody else came from Even Heaven with a different gospel or teaching of Salvation other than that we have given you he is is accursed. It is our faith in Jesus Christ that saves us it's called Grace you can't buy it you can't earn it it's a free gift because we believe that what Jesus Christ did on the cross with his death burial and Resurrection is is sufficient for our salvation. Don't remain in the wrath of God and don't be left behind PS go to one of my favorite Bible teachers King James authorized version on the Whiteboard also in Spanish Robert breaker cloud church.org this is not Christianity this is not the black robe fake Catholic religion this is right from the King James Bible there is salvation Jesus is real in the Bible is true but there is false Christianity and the black robes rape the children we know it and they teach lies of Destruction
I'm 1/2 Apache, & 1/2 Irish, so from 2 cultures that were ROBBED of my people, as well as our languages!!! 😠 I speak Spanish, but that's not our original language, but am in touch & educated on both my warrior cultures, & embrace them both equally. I'm a lil odd looking, blonde hair, blue eyed, but with red red skin, especially in summer time, because of both bloodlines I look like a lobster!! 🦞 😆 I have spent all my childhood summers in Vermillion S Dakota, Rapid City, & Deadwood, my Mom grew up on reservations out there, but even in the 80's to 2000's there was a lot of racial tension back then, I hope things are improving!!!
Navajo Man - thank you for sharing your history! We cannot know who we are and where we are going until we know from who and where we came from. There is no land more beautiful to me than the four corners region. Where others see nothing with their eyes but vast open land - the soul sees the ancestors and relatives in every stone, blade of grass and tree. But I have to say it made me smile to see you roll up on your ATV pony🐎to your grandmothers homestead 😁...native america...tied to tradition but always moving forward !! Da'anzho
The white was very heartless .and if that was going to happen to them ooo it would be different.. thank u very much to share this 🦅 drum 🥁 blessing to all..😢
1st time here, my Brother. ... pilamaya for sharing so much of Ur beautiful, sacred cultures / family. Hate ALL "THE Trail of Tears" / The Long Walks...walked by MANY INDIGENOUS American NATIVES. Cherokee's in freezing temps..were forced out - from TN...to Oklahoma w/o shoe's!!! 1, 000's walked. MANY never survived the frozen temps...No The Europeans - back centuries ago... created Death & disease to millions & millions of our ( my) Red Brothers & Sisters. Thank you again for sharing Ur sacred & ancient grounds to us all. WakanTakan Kici Un
Been watching Wally from Navajo traditional teachings for years and then found your channel. I love watching and learning from the videos. Great to see the young keeping their history alive. Keep up all your hard work, It is appreciated. Much luv and blessing, Bruddah🤙
I also came here after seeing you on Peter Santenello's channel. Thank you for explaining and discussing your history and culture. I didn't understand why you didn't go to a cemetery on the video at the Lakota reservation, but I learned why today from you.
Thank you so much for the brief history of the long walk, my grandparents were apart of that history but they were just kids, my grandpa was full blood Navajo and my grandma was a full white mountain apache, I enjoy watching your videos, you're doing a great, amazing work 😀 with your family and all again thanks 😊
I'm so very proud of my Ancestor's, my Great Grandma was Lakota and was born and raised in Kingsbury South Dakota in 1914. ❤️ 🪶 She lived til 93, I had a great bond with her until 1984 when the Lord took her home .. 🤗 from Wisconsin
Awesome my Bro I'm Maori from New Zealand. Yes the past is very important and forever thankful to our Ancestors and there struggles keep the stories and tell them to your children the real history needs to be told and kept keep the language and culture going, Kia kaha, Mauri Ora
I have always felt a strong connection to the photo of your great great great grandfather and I felt a similar feeling when I saw you on Peter Santonella's video…amazing family !
You are my daughters age. I love hearing you speak Navajo. Im impressed that you speak your native language & are interested & respectful enough to learn your traditions. Your families land is very beautiful & peaceful. Im a person who feels a very deep connection to the land & animals. Im sorry for the horrible things your ancesters had to go thru. The brain washing continues today. Thank you for sharing.
Abraham Lincoln was president at that time he's the one that decided to have all the Native Tribes surrender and relocate them east ward so kit Carson came out and he was the one that took the navajos and different tribes out on the long walk a lot of people suffered along the long walk through the harsh elements but Thank you for your heart felt history its good to know and appreciate what our ancestors went through I hold that dear to my heart because I have a story about a grandma who made it back home and you talking about it I thought about her , Again Thank you
I have NOT been much interested in new tech or social media and so have been VERY slow to let it into my lifestyle. However, I will say that at 69 years of age I APPRECIATE the knowledge and historical perspectives that were not available in the seventeen years of public "education" I received in my school days. I know it's of limited worth now 😌 to learn what Peter, Wally Brown, PatricisNavaho and others are presenting, but I will tell you that the little I have learned has changed my life. And, for that, I THANK YOU and the other's for posting OUR history from your perspective. We may not be able to change the past, BUT I believe that the highest HONOR we can give to those who lived and died in those difficult times, is to move forward with those who carry their ancestral TREASURES stored in their genes. It's only been in recent years that my eyes have begun to be opened to the REAL TREASURES hidden in my Indigenous brothers. I know that it is PAST time that those treasures come forth through HONOR AND RESPECT for the Indigenous HEART AND VOICE . . . for the benefit of ALL mankind. As painful as it is to listen to much of the history, I want you to know that it is an HONOR to hear YOU speak . . . out of RESPECT for the price your ancestors paid to just exist . . . and, to HONOR their lives . . . so that OUR FUTURE TOGETHER can change for the better for ALL. MUCH RESPECT and GREAT JOB!!
A big thank you dear brother. Thank you for sharing your history. I am a white man and I fell so sorry for the history of the white man. Your people are victims of the biggest genocide in history. All the vest for you and your people. Stay strong brother. You got my deep respect.
Thanks for sharing that was very strong and powerful. I will never forget who I am and where I come from. Thanks brother you got me thinking of home😢. Very educational again Thanks 😊
I just happened upon my first Peter Santinello video, secret areas of Navajo Nation, and wanted to come to your channel to thank you here for showing everyone around your land. I am 67 and live on the Coast of Mississippi. My Father {same name, passed when I was about 10. My mother passed with cancer when I was 6. I was raised by his older brother and wife that happened to be my mom's older sister.} I tell you this because I had little contact with my father and few memories. He was a Sergeant in the Marines and was on Iwo Jima. He didn't want to talk about the war and may have told me more if I were older. This was when most movies were about the Old West, and I was only 6 or 7 at the time. I am not sure why, maybe something negative I said, about Indians. This triggered him, and he set me straight. He told me about the Navajo Code Talkers. I am not sure but think he was teamed up with a code talker doing recon. He said the Navajo were a very brave people and their unique language was invaluable to their missions. This is one of the only talks I can remember that we had, and wanted to share it with you. Thank you for your service as a Wildfire fighter. I will subscribe and learn more. I saw Ship Rock from a jet about 10 yrs ago, it was such a prominent and unusual landmark, and I was sort of mesmerized by it, seeing it for so long. Not knowing its name I searched it out on google earth, it wasn't hard to find. I soon found out about its unique history. Oh yea, I too believe in UFOs.
Thank you Navajo Man, I Enjoyed your story telling, the best way to honor our ancestors is to remember their story. Remembering the past both the hurts and the joy's is how we learn best. To treat each other with kindness and respect so as not to repeat the hurts. For that reason I love story telling, it's my favorite history lesson. I am from Aguas Calietes Mexico, maybe one day we can share stories with each other, I love AZ and will probably call it home in the coming years. Bendiciones suegro 👍🏽👊🏽❤️💯🔥🙏🏽
❤ I have a purebred German Shepherd that I would like to call long nose in the Lakota language. Can you tell me how to say that, please 🙏. I don't know why I have been led to the Lakota and Navajo tribes and cultures? I have had this feeling for many years, and I am so happy to have found your channel! Life is so amazing.
Dogs were an important part of tribal life as I’m sure you know. Sunka means dog - pronounced shunka. When horses were brought in, they were called sunka wakan or sacred dog. I haven’t seen any references to “long nose” in Lakota language websites. Pasu or phasú = nose Hanska means long or tall Pasu hanska- maybe! The Lakota called Bigfoot Chiye - Tanka. Chiye means elder brother. Tanka means great or large. Koda means friend Takoda means friend to all Mato means bear Hotah means strong Good luck.
We have a Belgian malnois (looks very similar to German shepherd) my son named her Athena but I call her Big Head. I thought I would share that since you call your shepherd long nose.
It's amazing to me that you have been able to keep this family history through all the years of hardship your people have gone through. I could feel the strong energy of these places all the way to Norway when seeing your video. Thanks for sharing! May you and all your descendants live a life full of blessings!
so so informative and interesting - am an inuk from Greenland - dna test says I´m 15,4 % native american - got links to 4th cousins that are najavo - I hope one day I get to see the navajos myself
Thank you for showing us and sharing with us that history. I grew up near the Navajo reservation in Joseph City Arizona. I live in Utah now, but I love and miss the Navajo people and being around them. Watching your videos feels comforting, with the sights and sounds of home. Thank you for making these videos!
Thanks Darwin for sharing. Beautiful vlog of your family. I need to find out about my family line. My mother's dad he had 2 wives. It's common back then in navajo, my grandfather had a lot of love to give. My grandmother was strong and took care of the Hogan. Her 11 children & flock of sheep. While my grandfather took care of his 2 families, left many times to go to work. I have lots of Aunt's & uncles on my mom's side in Narrow canyon in Monument Valley. I'm still learning too and this is more motivation for me to keep up with it. Ahé hee' Darwin.
Thank you for sharing some of your family history. I would like to see more of this type of video included in your posts. I agree we need to hold on to the past even though it may be painful, in order to go forward with hope for the future.
I greatly appreciate the history you are teaching and hope this video receives more recognition. I was born in Albuquerque, NM and currently live up in Rapid City, SD. I appreciate both you and Lakota Bae's information you both provided! Keep doing what you are doing. Sincerely an ally.
The audio is good now, man! Respect to the Navajo. Great culture. Beautiful craftsmen and weavers. I spent time at Toadlena. There is a very nice Master Weavers museum there. A friend of mine, Mark Winters, had that built.
i really care about the northen family about brothers and sisters in this land. i am mexican but i care and feel for the tribes and nations in this land.
My father has culturally appropriated Native American culture. He's done it for financial gain. I was so ashamed by his actions that I changed my last name. He's even married a native American woman. I did a 23 & me and u have no native American. I am learning archery and I'd love to come to the Lakota and learn your stories tied to archery and learn Lakota archery.
Thank you Darwin for leading us through some of your people's history. I enjoyed watching you and Roger from Peter Santenello's segment on your reservation . (Beautiful country) I've learned a tremendous amount of things that I didn't understand before listening to you guys walk us down this road . All of us have much to learn if we ever have a chance of bringing harmony to this planet.... Peace , Brother
I appreciate your content. Don't know a whole lot of the history of the Navajo Indians. I married into a family who's grandmother and mother in law are from New Mexico. Mother in law left at very young age but grandma was raised up until a ripe age before locating to California. Some of the stories i've heard just have drawn me in and pretty interesting. This helps a million. Loved that video where we went hiking with Peter. Keep going my man. I hope and pray this channel takes out to many homes to learn their heritage. You guys deserve so much more my man and that's from the heart of a white guy who has a loving heart for the Indians. of many tribes. My great grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee Indian. Awesome videos.
I really really loved your family history and the history you shared. I'm so white bread but love to learn the Native American history you don't learn in books. It hurts my heart to hear how your people were treated,any of the tribes were treated. I was born in Indiana and we learned about the Shawnee, Shell Mound Natives. The Prophets rock is located in Lafayette Indiana. But my family has a side of slave owners and it hurts sometimes to learn what family members are capable of. Thank you again for sharing and loved seeing your great great great grandma's Hogan.
Yeah funny how he doesn't mention how "his people" drew first blood by attacking innocent settler's .For years natives killed innocent men Women AND CHILDREN for just passing through "their lands" that they killed other "natives to obtain. Then once "the white man" starts to fight back and win now they play the victim card. There are self hating Racial Cucks like your self who are dumb enough to apologize for it...
I am a new subscriber but not new to Navajo Culture. I am honored to learn of your family. We have traveled thur Navajo Land many times going across Country in our Rv. Learning about all the First People. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos.
Thank you for the teachings brother. My people, black people, some lived after slavery and Jim Crow with the Dine on the Navajo Nation. My father was born there in McNary and great aunties and uncles, as well as second cousins to this day should be still there living in Flagstaff: the Reeds, Walton's and Washingtons there in Flagstaff, AZ. Aho
I am here via Peter Santenello's video with you and your brother. You are a blessing to your people and your son's. You have a true ancient ancestral connection to YOUR lands. The majority of us non-natives have at best a 150-yr diasporatically induced URBAN "connection" rooted in the craziness of the unnatural side of urban societies; and that unnatural side of urban societies has generationally induced craziness end-effects that accounts for the symptoms of the craziness running rampant across mother earth today. Most of us are, as Graham Hancock says, "A species with amnesia." Another teacher, Mark Passio, accounts for the loss of mind due to "Cosmic Abandonment" which he compares to a child suffering from parental abandonment with mommy & daddy psychological issues. Evil demons, in form and out of form, are ruling this realms period of chaos. The ancient Vedic tradition identifies this period as the age of Kali, the iron age, the low point in the wheel of the world across the zodiac. It make sense - this is no Bronze age, Silver age and certainly no Golden age. It's an age of madness - but as even mad as it is you and your generations hold the threads of sanity - and you weave them into your children - I am grateful for knowing you exist. I ask a giant favor of you and your people, you're probably doing it already, but please hold ceremony for us - for the betterment of our next life because this life is lost in craziness. ’áÁéáęÁąłńó
Hey, Dar! The story you shared with us is very interesting and sad at the same time. Sometimes I'm ashamed of being white, because of all the bad things that happened to your people. You have all my respect and can't wait to see your next video. All videos you're making, especially the ones about the history of Navajos are very, very interesting. Keep going, friend and wish you all the best. Greetings from Bulgaria! 🙏
I love history, Natives are so intelligent and wise people on this earth❤ Greetings from Finland🇫🇮 I belong to a ethnic minority called Karelians, they're indigenous to the karelia land.
I wish all men had this mindset to look deep into their heritage and culture, believe God or Higher Energy, or Light or however you name it. This is so priceless and we, women, we sence it, as that is how true man should think and look at live so we can follow him and be by his side, strong roots therefore strong family and society. It is so rare nowadays, sad but true. GOOD MAN, GOOD LUCK.
Hi Dar " Im 67 years old " Ive followed the First Nations People Since i read my First Book , Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee ( Gloria Jahoda ) Trail of Tears { Dee Brown } I was Born in England , But have a very strong Spiritual Connection sinse, I was 14 Reading those first books ! Thank you for setting up the chanel i only found it because of Pete ! the man you showed around the Res " My Respects to to and your family I always wanted to visit the site of RED Cloud to pay my Respects to him and his family Blessings to you from England .... Carl.
Aoo aoo.. your right that’s the way us Navajos journeyed this earth.. that’s where the famous “fry bread” came from, was from the long walk… The land your showing I’m well aware of. I rode my horses through there many time just to visit my cuzzins in teesto lol 👍
How I would LOVE to spend time with the family and learn about them. It's important to honor the ancestors. I feel the pull, but as someone who is not indigenous, it seems to be frowned upon. I can't help it though, the pull is strong enough to almost be obsession. Thank you! I appreciate you! Honor and blessings to you and your family❤
15:12 ... That mountain there. That's called "Montezuma Chair"? Interesting. Makes me think if there is a link with Montezuma of Tenochtitlán !? Thank you so much bro for this fragiles informations. They need to be shared. Not to be forgotten. Peace from Macedonia.
Moctezuma still has linage alive in Mexico his great great grandson Looks just like him. Something that people are not aware also Meshikas Azteca were originally from Utah. the Natives were nomadic peoples Since the beginning.
When I met my relatives from Four Corners they were very welcoming and we hugged. The Navajo mother and I talked for about an hour and it was a learning experience for us both. She took my contact information and I hope she will call when time is good for her to do so. I learned a lot from our talk and she touched on quite a few things you speak of here in this video. Her children are part Shawnee and part Navajo. I'm related to them on the Shawnee side. I'm only 2% - 10% Shawnee, somewhere between those percentages. She talked about not touching anything found that is ancestral or not ancestral because it is disrespectful to do so. Until I get to speak to her again, your videos are another learning tool. Since I am a Navajo relative, having just found out Iast month, I feel it is only right to learn as much as possible about the D'Ne. Your videos are a blessing and I appreciate the knowledge you are sharing here. Thank You very much.
Thank you for sharing! ❤️ I love to travel throughout the west and love to hear history of the region. I live in the area of Cherokee. We always need to remember the past to ensure we don’t repeat some of the same mistakes. Keep sharing ❤
My brother im am of the kaqchikel people of guatemala living in arizona, the navajo people are beautiful and you all are my brother and sisters, we are NATIVE
My wife's grandmother was from the Roybal family and was part Navajo,she is so interested in her culture.I hope soon we can come out there and see the place her family was from.They were married into the mascarenas family also.
I love your knowledge, culture & taking us along on your family's journey. It is absolutely beautiful & amazing, & it makes me so mad, sad & imbarressed that yours & many others ancestors were treated so horrifying. Thank you for the in sight & peak into your sacred home.
☮️❤️ Thank you for sharing your deep culture about your family and nation. It grieves me to know of the inexcusable suffering that took place and continues today
You are so right. At the age of thirty my mother told me we have Sámi blood. I have now spent ten years learning the language and uncovering our secret history under forced Finninasation (to be made Finnish of Finland with only Finnish as a language). Almost finished us, but not quite. One love, keep up the good work!
Hello Darwin, I found your channel today by watching Peters video with Yourself and Dustin, I live in Victoria Australia. I am looking forward to watching your videos and learning of your people. My respect , I have a lot to learn , I will sit quietly and listen .
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your inheritige I love your Native language wish I could speak it my EX husband is Choctaw his Great Great Grandmother was full blooded but he wasn't around her long enough to learn the language very sad there were plenty of land for everybody White man was so greedy they needed try to get to know the different tribes sometimes I think I was born the wrong time because I was always for the Indian people, but I was born 1959 and that was a very long time I got to go to Gallop Mexico and that's all they speak is there language I got to meet a older man and women they were saleing there Beautiful jewelry I brought a lot and I ask would they speak to me in there language but I could hear it when they spoke English the Navajo women gave me a pair of tiger eye ear rings and I still have them very nice people also got to meet a women that was 100 years old and ask if I could take a picture of her she said I could for $5.00 I still have it that's been 20 years a go that experience will stay with me forever God Bless You and you Family.🙏
You're a fantastic storyteller Dar! Excellent video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks Peter.
@@NavajoManLakotaBae I love the stories of the Navajo people and its very sad the struggles that were forced upon them by evil people who were and still are greedy and uncaring to this day .
YOU ROCK!
Hi Peter
Thank you for this personal and heartfelt video. 🙏Brought memories back from when my wife and I visited her aunt, who was teaching at the res.' Chinle High School in the late 1980s. We were staying with her aunt's dear friend Silvia Begay and Silvia's husband John at their home in Window Rock. John was a geologist and white man who were privy to the U.S. corporate mining greed on the Nation's land and Silvia & John were not happy about the doings of Pete MacDonald. Those were sad turbulent times and the Nation was divided. Things seem to have turned out for the better in the last 30 years. It's definitely time for me to return and enjoy the Navajo hospitality again. Miss the people, Canyon de Chelly and Tse yaa Kini.
Here from Peter Santenello's channel! Thank you so much for the walk through the land, geography, and history. It strikes me that many of us are physically disconnected from our pasts, and this video is so relational and (literally) grounded in comparison to most history content I consume. It's special. Thank you!
Thank you I appreciate the words, thanks for watching 👍🏽👍🏽
Me also… saw you on Peters channel!!! Thanks for a great video!!!
Thank you. Your Ancesters, may
be gone , but, through you they are still around.
I am part Native , probably from four different peoples. I'm, also,
part Spanish, part Middle East,
The Native part of me , let's me see thinges on the Earth everyday. The Ancesters, guide
me to live a beautiful life.
Finding and accepting, JESUS,
has been a beatific experience.
We are all children of one GOD, who created us.
Walking, with , JESUS, is a good way to see the world, and to
live in peace in this
confusing world.
He was Nobel man.I see it in his image.
That’s how my grandparents raised us to always introduce ourselves in Navajo they made sure we knew all 4 clans
Thank you VERY much for acknowledging our Mexican culture. I wish mexico would cherish and honor the mexican side of the native culture.. we are all one. Indigenous people people of the Americas. Blessings
its one of the navajo clans (the mexican clan) it means somewhere along the line a person of that desent was adopted into the navajo tribe. there are also orginal navajo clans of course but alot of navajos have that clan as were all southern tribes of course we would have mixed some way or another. But that is also my grandmas dads clan :) which makes it one of hers
@@ashleycampos8839 thank you for that clarification.
All of the native peoples of the americas. Well stated my friend.
The indigenous culture gets plenty of recognition in Mexico. The names of a lot of cities and towns are of indigenous origin. The influence is in the food, traditions and customs. It’s every where.
Native American are the brothers of our ancestors the Aztec that stayed in US when MEXICO was divided.
My great grandmother was Cherokee! I am proud to be her great granddaughter! She was from Union County Georgia
Greetings. I'm here because of Peter Santenello's video with you at the Pine Ridge res. It is interesting to know that about the same time your ancestors were being uprooted by the US government to Mexico, my great great grandparents were fighting against the same US Army in the Philippine-American War. We share the same history in this regard. As a cyclist, I love roads and the open skies. I can truly say that your Navajo country is breath-takingly beautiful.
MUCH .... RESPECT YOUNG MAN,. ..VERY PROUD OF YOU WALKING AS A FULL BLOODED DIN'E....YOU HAVE A STRONG FAMILY, GOOD LOOKING BOYS OF 2 NATIONS , 2 OF THE LARGEST TRIBES , YOU HAVE MANY TALENTS, YOU ARE NOT CONFUSED 🤔 LIKE A LOT OF YOUNGSTERS ARE , YOU MAKE ME PROUD TO BE LAKOTA...A'HO...
Once I seen that he was a young man & had this much passion for his culture, it was an instant sub, same with his brother!
I'm 1/2 Apache & 1/2 Irish, so came from 2 warrior bloodlines that have known nothing but suffering, & stealing our cultures!!! 😠
I grew up speaking Spanish, but with blonde hair & blue eyes, with an official dialect from Mexico it really confuses people! 😆
Wish I knew my cultures true languages though, but at least I know my cultures & fully embrace them, sadly that's more than most.....
It breaks my heart how the government treated your family. Thank you for sharing your history and stories.
It still going on right now.. In Winnemucca Nevada elders n children being evicted out into cold weather bia evicting them off their homelands
@@lovellebrown1274 You have to understand that Natives are the most corrupt leaders in America, they own several casinos and yet keep the money to the themselves (owners), corruption is rampant, most crimes, most addicted pupulation, least achievers, with no innovative ability and skills amongst the population.
Be thankful that Europeans came and civilized the land. But even then, Natives remained unproductive and still harbor the mentality pre-colonization.
The Caucasians are still savages. They haven’t changed.
@@lovellebrown1274 I’m sorry
Yeah but he conveniently leaves out the part of the story where the "Natives" first attacked white settlers, most of whom was just passing through and killed innocent men Women AND CHILDREN for years and after taking so much of that the white settlers had no choice but to fight back... But when you play the victim card you can't tell that part of the story...
This is brilliant and very heart felt explaining your history and heritage brother Darwin. Liked and subscribed
Thank you for this beautiful vlog. My relatives were sent to Carlisle and Phoenix Industrial residential schools by force. It is important to pass on history but just as important to allow for generational healing. The twindians are blessed to have such strong parents and grandparents.
They were sent there by force because your relatives will not stop attacking innocent settlers most of whom was just passing through. So cut the bs.. u guys killed innocent men women and children for years and now play the victim card bc you got hot back...
Our history is amazing!! I love the strength and perseverance that we as Dine have still to this day. If anyone has time, you MUST read Evangeline Parsons-Yazzie's books. Her stories are written so well. There's also a lot of Navajo language spoken there too. Thank you for sharing your family's history.
I recently learned of my Navajo family history dating back to 1580. Thanks to the Spanish Fransican priests, the documents archived in Mexico City Catholic library.
Watched you on Peters videos. Your knowledge is awesome and I am so glad that you are continuing to carry on the history of your elders and passing on to your children. You should feel very proud of your efforts ❤
I’m salt,Mexican,pacific ocean, and dog town clans. Always praying 🙏
I seen the wind blowing on the dried grass around the Hogan house. At that time I felt the many tears blowing in the wind their broken spirits are still there. This is Sacred ground.
If we all could have the respect of our people the way you do- life would be so different. I appreciate you. Thank you so much. What a lesson!!
Thank you for educating me Navajo Man. So powerful! Much respect✨
I'm sure you know this already, GERONIMO of the chiricahua APACHE was the last great leader who was still free & fighting, until he surrendered on March 27, 1886. He died of pneumonia at the Fort Sill hospital. He spent the last years of his life far from h1is native lands, He died February17, 1909.He is buried in Beef Creek APACHE Cemetery in Fort Sill, Oklahoma😢-- thank you for this video👍
Wow💛
Geronimo pleaded with Teddy Roosevelt who was president at that time to please let him go back to his ancestors land and Teddy Roosevelt was absolutely against it because of all the history and the bloodshed that was connected to Geronimo and his people besides you know politicians they're all about kissing up they don't want to rile any feathers of the people who support them under the table it's the same today it's corruption at some of the highest degree everybody knows it I hope the New World Order is the platform for the Antichrist and he cares less what nationality you are we all must put our faith in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ if you believe with all your heart you will will will be saved the Apostle Paul Who was appointed by Jesus Christ himself after the resurrection said the whole world will be judged according to my gospel given to me not by man but by revelation of Jesus Christ the Apostle Paul said twice that have even an angel or somebody else came from Even Heaven with a different gospel or teaching of Salvation other than that we have given you he is is accursed. It is our faith in Jesus Christ that saves us it's called Grace you can't buy it you can't earn it it's a free gift because we believe that what Jesus Christ did on the cross with his death burial and Resurrection is is sufficient for our salvation. Don't remain in the wrath of God and don't be left behind PS go to one of my favorite Bible teachers King James authorized version on the Whiteboard also in Spanish Robert breaker cloud church.org this is not Christianity this is not the black robe fake Catholic religion this is right from the King James Bible there is salvation Jesus is real in the Bible is true but there is false Christianity and the black robes rape the children we know it and they teach lies of Destruction
I'm 1/2 Apache, & 1/2 Irish, so from 2 cultures that were ROBBED of my people, as well as our languages!!! 😠
I speak Spanish, but that's not our original language, but am in touch & educated on both my warrior cultures, & embrace them both equally.
I'm a lil odd looking, blonde hair, blue eyed, but with red red skin, especially in summer time, because of both bloodlines I look like a lobster!! 🦞 😆
I have spent all my childhood summers in Vermillion S Dakota, Rapid City, & Deadwood, my Mom grew up on reservations out there, but even in the 80's to 2000's there was a lot of racial tension back then, I hope things are improving!!!
Navajo Man - thank you for sharing your history! We cannot know who we are and where we are going until we know from who and where we came from. There is no land more beautiful to me than the four corners region. Where others see nothing with their eyes but vast open land - the soul sees the ancestors and relatives in every stone, blade of grass and tree. But I have to say it made me smile to see you roll up on your ATV pony🐎to your grandmothers homestead 😁...native america...tied to tradition but always moving forward !! Da'anzho
The white was very heartless .and if that was going to happen to them ooo it would be different.. thank u very much to share this 🦅 drum 🥁 blessing to all..😢
1st time here, my Brother. ...
pilamaya for sharing so much of Ur beautiful, sacred cultures / family. Hate ALL "THE Trail of Tears" / The Long Walks...walked by MANY INDIGENOUS American NATIVES. Cherokee's in freezing temps..were forced out - from TN...to Oklahoma w/o shoe's!!! 1, 000's walked. MANY never survived the frozen temps...No The Europeans - back centuries ago... created Death & disease to millions & millions of our ( my) Red Brothers & Sisters. Thank you again for sharing Ur sacred & ancient grounds to us all.
WakanTakan Kici Un
A True Human Being, with a Very Old and Powerful spirit.👍
WHAT ONCE HAPPENED TO YOU FOLKS,WILL NOW HAPPEN TO US ALL! THANK YOU FOR SHARING..STAY AWESOME..
Its happening… karma
Been watching Wally from Navajo traditional teachings for years and then found your channel. I love watching and learning from the videos. Great to see the young keeping their history alive. Keep up all your hard work, It is appreciated. Much luv and blessing, Bruddah🤙
I have been listening to Vally too. Love his videos.
I watch wally a lot he has big amount of wisdom so does David Swallow
I also came here after seeing you on Peter Santenello's channel. Thank you for explaining and discussing your history and culture. I didn't understand why you didn't go to a cemetery on the video at the Lakota reservation, but I learned why today from you.
Thank you for watching and following us
Thank you so much for the brief history of the long walk, my grandparents were apart of that history but they were just kids, my grandpa was full blood Navajo and my grandma was a full white mountain apache, I enjoy watching your videos, you're doing a great, amazing work 😀 with your family and all again thanks 😊
I'm so very proud of my Ancestor's, my Great Grandma was Lakota and was born and raised in Kingsbury South Dakota in 1914. ❤️ 🪶 She lived til 93, I had a great bond with her until 1984 when the Lord took her home .. 🤗 from Wisconsin
Awesome my Bro I'm Maori from New Zealand. Yes the past is very important and forever thankful to our Ancestors and there struggles keep the stories and tell them to your children the real history needs to be told and kept keep the language and culture going, Kia kaha, Mauri Ora
I have always felt a strong connection to the photo of your great great great grandfather and I felt a similar feeling when I saw you on Peter Santonella's video…amazing family !
You are my daughters age. I love hearing you speak Navajo. Im impressed that you speak your native language & are interested & respectful enough to learn your traditions. Your families land is very beautiful & peaceful. Im a person who feels a very deep connection to the land & animals. Im sorry for the horrible things your ancesters had to go thru. The brain washing continues today. Thank you for sharing.
Abraham Lincoln was president at that time he's the one that decided to have all the Native Tribes surrender and relocate them east ward so kit Carson came out and he was the one that took the navajos and different tribes out on the long walk a lot of people suffered along the long walk through the harsh elements but Thank you for your heart felt history its good to know and appreciate what our ancestors went through I hold that dear to my heart because I have a story about a grandma who made it back home and you talking about it I thought about her , Again Thank you
Oh I wish that I could listen and hear her story💛
I have NOT been much interested in new tech or social media and so have been VERY slow to let it into my lifestyle. However, I will say that at 69 years of age I APPRECIATE the knowledge and historical perspectives that were not available in the seventeen years of public "education" I received in my school days. I know it's of limited worth now 😌 to learn what Peter, Wally Brown, PatricisNavaho and others are presenting, but I will tell you that the little I have learned has changed my life. And, for that, I THANK YOU and the other's for posting OUR history from your perspective. We may not be able to change the past, BUT I believe that the highest HONOR we can give to those who lived and died in those difficult times, is to move forward with those who carry their ancestral TREASURES stored in their genes. It's only been in recent years that my eyes have begun to be opened to the REAL TREASURES hidden in my Indigenous brothers. I know that it is PAST time that those treasures come forth through HONOR AND RESPECT for the Indigenous HEART AND VOICE . . . for the benefit of ALL mankind.
As painful as it is to listen to much of the history, I want you to know that it is an HONOR to hear YOU speak . . . out of RESPECT for the price your ancestors paid to just exist . . . and, to HONOR their lives . . . so that OUR FUTURE TOGETHER can change for the better for ALL. MUCH RESPECT and GREAT JOB!!
It's great to see a man of your age to care about your peoples history.
Thank you for this video. Nice how your helping others understand and sharing the Diné culture.
A big thank you dear brother. Thank you for sharing your history.
I am a white man and I fell so sorry for the history of the white man.
Your people are victims of the biggest genocide in history.
All the vest for you and your people.
Stay strong brother.
You got my deep respect.
As I listen to you I can't help appreciating the saying, "the more things change, the more they stay the same". Ádaa áhólyą́.
Thanks for sharing that was very strong and powerful. I will never forget who I am and where I come from. Thanks brother you got me thinking of home😢. Very educational again Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing your family history…much respect to the ancestors who sacrificed much.
I just happened upon my first Peter Santinello video, secret areas of Navajo Nation, and wanted to come to your channel to thank you here for showing everyone around your land.
I am 67 and live on the Coast of Mississippi. My Father {same name, passed when I was about 10. My mother passed with cancer when I was 6. I was raised by his older brother and
wife that happened to be my mom's older sister.} I tell you this because I had little contact with my father and few memories. He was a Sergeant in the Marines and was on Iwo Jima.
He didn't want to talk about the war and may have told me more if I were older. This was when most movies were about the Old West, and I was only 6 or 7 at the time.
I am not sure why, maybe something negative I said, about Indians. This triggered him, and he set me straight. He told me about the Navajo Code Talkers. I am not sure but think he
was teamed up with a code talker doing recon. He said the Navajo were a very brave people and their unique language was invaluable to their missions.
This is one of the only talks I can remember that we had, and wanted to share it with you.
Thank you for your service as a Wildfire fighter. I will subscribe and learn more.
I saw Ship Rock from a jet about 10 yrs ago, it was such a prominent and unusual landmark, and I was sort of mesmerized by it, seeing it for so long. Not knowing its name I searched
it out on google earth, it wasn't hard to find. I soon found out about its unique history.
Oh yea, I too believe in UFOs.
Thanks for sharing your family history with us 👍 🇺🇸.
Wow, that was powerful and educational thank you!
Thanks for watching 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you Navajo Man, I Enjoyed your story telling, the best way to honor our ancestors is to remember their story. Remembering the past both the hurts and the joy's is how we learn best. To treat each other with kindness and respect so as not to repeat the hurts. For that reason I love story telling, it's my favorite history lesson. I am from Aguas Calietes Mexico, maybe one day we can share stories with each other, I love AZ and will probably call it home in the coming years. Bendiciones suegro 👍🏽👊🏽❤️💯🔥🙏🏽
❤ I have a purebred German Shepherd that I would like to call long nose in the Lakota language. Can you tell me how to say that, please 🙏. I don't know why I have been led to the Lakota and Navajo tribes and cultures? I have had this feeling for many years, and I am so happy to have found your channel! Life is so amazing.
Doesn't anyone know how to say long nose in the Lakota language. Will someone please reply if you know????
Dogs were an important part of tribal life as I’m sure you know.
Sunka means dog - pronounced shunka. When horses were brought in, they were called sunka wakan or sacred dog. I haven’t seen any references to “long nose” in Lakota language websites.
Pasu or phasú = nose
Hanska means long or tall
Pasu hanska- maybe!
The Lakota called Bigfoot Chiye - Tanka. Chiye means elder brother. Tanka means great or large.
Koda means friend
Takoda means friend to all
Mato means bear
Hotah means strong
Good luck.
We have a Belgian malnois (looks very similar to German shepherd) my son named her Athena but I call her Big Head. I thought I would share that since you call your shepherd long nose.
It's amazing to me that you have been able to keep this family history through all the years of hardship your people have gone through. I could feel the strong energy of these places all the way to Norway when seeing your video. Thanks for sharing! May you and all your descendants live a life full of blessings!
Thanks for watching in Norway it’s an honor.
so so informative and interesting - am an inuk from Greenland - dna test says I´m 15,4 % native american - got links to 4th cousins that are najavo - I hope one day I get to see the navajos myself
Thank you for showing us and sharing with us that history. I grew up near the Navajo reservation in Joseph City Arizona. I live in Utah now, but I love and miss the Navajo people and being around them. Watching your videos feels comforting, with the sights and sounds of home.
Thank you for making these videos!
Seeing your video from Petersantenello’s channel and subscribed to yours.👍🏽
Welcome and thanks for subscribing
Greatly appreciate you for allowing us in to at least a small portion of your History and the Diné History. Continued well being and success.
Thanks Darwin for sharing. Beautiful vlog of your family. I need to find out about my family line. My mother's dad he had 2 wives. It's common back then in navajo, my grandfather had a lot of love to give. My grandmother was strong and took care of the Hogan. Her 11 children & flock of sheep. While my grandfather took care of his 2 families, left many times to go to work. I have lots of Aunt's & uncles on my mom's side in Narrow canyon in Monument Valley. I'm still learning too and this is more motivation for me to keep up with it. Ahé hee' Darwin.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you.
Thank you for sharing some of your family history. I would like to see more of this type of video included in your posts. I agree we need to hold on to the past even though it may be painful, in order to go forward with hope for the future.
And "we" called them savages. 😭😭😭😭
Thank you so very much for opening your heart and showing us your history.
I greatly appreciate the history you are teaching and hope this video receives more recognition. I was born in Albuquerque, NM and currently live up in Rapid City, SD. I appreciate both you and Lakota Bae's information you both provided! Keep doing what you are doing.
Sincerely an ally.
The audio is good now, man! Respect to the Navajo. Great culture. Beautiful craftsmen and weavers. I spent time at Toadlena. There is a very nice Master Weavers museum there. A friend of mine, Mark Winters, had that built.
i really care about the northen family about brothers and sisters in this land. i am mexican but i care and feel for the tribes and nations in this land.
My father has culturally appropriated Native American culture. He's done it for financial gain. I was so ashamed by his actions that I changed my last name. He's even married a native American woman. I did a 23 & me and u have no native American.
I am learning archery and I'd love to come to the Lakota and learn your stories tied to archery and learn Lakota archery.
Thank you Darwin for leading us through some of your people's history. I enjoyed watching you and Roger from Peter Santenello's segment on your reservation . (Beautiful country)
I've learned a tremendous amount of things that I didn't understand before listening to you guys walk us down this road . All of us have much to learn if we ever have a chance of bringing harmony to this planet.... Peace , Brother
I appreciate your content. Don't know a whole lot of the history of the Navajo Indians. I married into a family who's grandmother and mother in law are from New Mexico. Mother in law left at very young age but grandma was raised up until a ripe age before locating to California. Some of the stories i've heard just have drawn me in and pretty interesting. This helps a million. Loved that video where we went hiking with Peter. Keep going my man. I hope and pray this channel takes out to many homes to learn their heritage. You guys deserve so much more my man and that's from the heart of a white guy who has a loving heart for the Indians. of many tribes. My great grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee Indian. Awesome videos.
I really really loved your family history and the history you shared. I'm so white bread but love to learn the Native American history you don't learn in books. It hurts my heart to hear how your people were treated,any of the tribes were treated. I was born in Indiana and we learned about the Shawnee, Shell Mound Natives. The Prophets rock is located in Lafayette Indiana. But my family has a side of slave owners and it hurts sometimes to learn what family members are capable of. Thank you again for sharing and loved seeing your great great great grandma's Hogan.
Yeah funny how he doesn't mention how "his people" drew first blood by attacking innocent settler's .For years natives killed innocent men Women AND CHILDREN for just passing through "their lands" that they killed other "natives to obtain. Then once "the white man" starts to fight back and win now they play the victim card. There are self hating Racial Cucks like your self who are dumb enough to apologize for it...
I am a new subscriber but not new to Navajo Culture. I am honored to learn of your family. We have traveled thur Navajo Land many times going across Country in our Rv. Learning about all the First People. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos.
I appreciate the follow and the respect we are glad to bring you inside Contant of a Navajo and Lakota perspective side of culture
Thank you for the teachings brother. My people, black people, some lived after slavery and Jim Crow with the Dine on the Navajo Nation. My father was born there in McNary and great aunties and uncles, as well as second cousins to this day should be still there living in Flagstaff: the Reeds, Walton's and Washingtons there in Flagstaff, AZ.
Aho
I am here via Peter Santenello's video with you and your brother. You are a blessing to your people and your son's. You have a true ancient ancestral connection to YOUR lands. The majority of us non-natives have at best a 150-yr diasporatically induced URBAN "connection" rooted in the craziness of the unnatural side of urban societies; and that unnatural side of urban societies has generationally induced craziness end-effects that accounts for the symptoms of the craziness running rampant across mother earth today. Most of us are, as Graham Hancock says, "A species with amnesia." Another teacher, Mark Passio, accounts for the loss of mind due to "Cosmic Abandonment" which he compares to a child suffering from parental abandonment with mommy & daddy psychological issues. Evil demons, in form and out of form, are ruling this realms period of chaos. The ancient Vedic tradition identifies this period as the age of Kali, the iron age, the low point in the wheel of the world across the zodiac. It make sense - this is no Bronze age, Silver age and certainly no Golden age. It's an age of madness - but as even mad as it is you and your generations hold the threads of sanity - and you weave them into your children - I am grateful for knowing you exist. I ask a giant favor of you and your people, you're probably doing it already, but please hold ceremony for us - for the betterment of our next life because this life is lost in craziness. ’áÁéáęÁąłńó
Hey, Dar! The story you shared with us is very interesting and sad at the same time. Sometimes I'm ashamed of being white, because of all the bad things that happened to your people. You have all my respect and can't wait to see your next video. All videos you're making, especially the ones about the history of Navajos are very, very interesting. Keep going, friend and wish you all the best. Greetings from Bulgaria! 🙏
I'm glad you made this it is awesome to know history i cant wait for move to come
Thanks for watching 👍🏽👍🏽
I love history, Natives are so intelligent and wise people on this earth❤ Greetings from Finland🇫🇮 I belong to a ethnic minority called Karelians, they're indigenous to the karelia land.
Thank you for watching from your country. We appreciate it. We hope you like what we offer.
I wish all men had this mindset to look deep into their heritage and culture, believe God or Higher Energy, or Light or however you name it. This is so priceless and we, women, we sence it, as that is how true man should think and look at live so we can follow him and be by his side, strong roots therefore strong family and society. It is so rare nowadays, sad but true. GOOD MAN, GOOD LUCK.
❤️ thank you good relative 👍🏽
We are italien‘s living in germany 🇮🇹…
Me and my family watching your channel 😎

Hi Dar "

Trail of Tears { Dee Brown } I was Born in England , But have a very strong Spiritual Connection sinse,
I was 14 Reading those first books !
Thank you for setting up the chanel i only found it because of Pete !
the man you showed around the Res "
My Respects to to and your family I always wanted to visit the site of RED Cloud to pay my Respects to him and his family
Blessings to you from England .... Carl.
Thank you very much for sharing some of your heritage with us. I have 100% respect for you and your people.
Aoo aoo.. your right that’s the way us Navajos journeyed this earth.. that’s where the famous “fry bread” came from, was from the long walk…
The land your showing I’m well aware of. I rode my horses through there many time just to visit my cuzzins in teesto lol 👍
How I would LOVE to spend time with the family and learn about them. It's important to honor the ancestors. I feel the pull, but as someone who is not indigenous, it seems to be frowned upon. I can't help it though, the pull is strong enough to almost be obsession.
Thank you! I appreciate you! Honor and blessings to you and your family❤
15:12 ... That mountain there. That's called "Montezuma Chair"?
Interesting. Makes me think if there is a link with Montezuma of Tenochtitlán !?
Thank you so much bro for this fragiles informations. They need to be shared. Not to be forgotten.
Peace from Macedonia.
Moctezuma still has linage alive in
Mexico his great great grandson
Looks just like him. Something that people are not aware also Meshikas
Azteca were originally from Utah.
the Natives were nomadic peoples
Since the beginning.
Greetings from Ireland. Found this site thru Peter Santenello. Very interesting, especially the Navaho language and stories. Do not lose the language.
Welcome to the channel make yourselves at home and I thank you for the follow
Thank you for the history lesson love it ❤. Watching it from Sweden. 🇸🇪😍😍😍😍😍😍
When I met my relatives from Four Corners they were very welcoming and we hugged. The Navajo mother and I talked for about an hour and it was a learning experience for us both. She took my contact information and I hope she will call when time is good for her to do so. I learned a lot from our talk and she touched on quite a few things you speak of here in this video. Her children are part Shawnee and part Navajo. I'm related to them on the Shawnee side. I'm only 2% - 10% Shawnee, somewhere between those percentages. She talked about not touching anything found that is ancestral or not ancestral because it is disrespectful to do so. Until I get to speak to her again, your videos are another learning tool. Since I am a Navajo relative, having just found out Iast month, I feel it is only right to learn as much as possible about the D'Ne. Your videos are a blessing and I appreciate the knowledge you are sharing here. Thank You very much.
I’m so glad our Father Yehovah made me click on Pete’s video showing you and your brother
Thank you for sharing! ❤️ I love to travel throughout the west and love to hear history of the region. I live in the area of Cherokee. We always need to remember the past to ensure we don’t repeat some of the same mistakes. Keep sharing ❤
Love learning more and more about the first people's of this land. God bless all of you and thank you for the great videos.
My brother im am of the kaqchikel people of guatemala living in arizona, the navajo people are beautiful and you all are my brother and sisters, we are NATIVE

My wife's grandmother was from the Roybal family and was part Navajo,she is so interested in her culture.I hope soon we can come out there and see the place her family was from.They were married into the mascarenas family also.
Thank you for sharing and for keeping these traditions and the history alive.
Very Good Navajo Man. 🦅💯

Thanks for watching 👍🏽👍🏽
Keep this history coming!
Thank you for sharing I am so sorry for your people to suffer that way 😞 My respects for all of you 🙌🏼💖
So beautiful the love he has for his grandmother and the respect
I love your knowledge, culture & taking us along on your family's journey. It is absolutely beautiful & amazing, & it makes me so mad, sad & imbarressed that yours & many others ancestors were treated so horrifying. Thank you for the in sight & peak into your sacred home.
☮️❤️ Thank you for sharing your deep culture about your family and nation. It grieves me to know of the inexcusable suffering that took place and continues today
Always good to know history. Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing where you come from.
Thank you for watching 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for sharing your family history and showing us your land. 🙏🏻
You are so right. At the age of thirty my mother told me we have Sámi blood. I have now spent ten years learning the language and uncovering our secret history under forced Finninasation (to be made Finnish of Finland with only Finnish as a language). Almost finished us, but not quite. One love, keep up the good work!
