It is indeed beautiful country, I have visited Santa Fe a few times, and my family and I once visited Taos and saw the Pueblo village. My mom and I also went to Mesa Verde, it was something to see. We also went to Hovenweep, and there was a man who was probably from the Pueblo communities because he played a flute and it was nice to listen to.

Stop lying!. According to science and their own history Black people are the only indigenous people on the planet due to the fact that they were on the planet first and that so called nonblack people have only been on the planet for six to ten thousand years, are not human and because of this have no history or heritage to speak of. See Anacalypsis by G Higgins and history written before 1840 to avoid white surpremacist scholarship. See murals if the Maya Inca Aztec so-called. From an autochthonous Being to you.

My ancestors are Puebloans! Grew up doing masonry and working with adobe material with dad back in the 90s when I was a kid! Proud of my ancestors!

Some of our Sunday outings when I was a child in New Mexico were spent exploring the ruins left by the ancestors of the Pueblo people.

Frr where can I find the real knowledge

About 5-6 years ago they discovered an ice age village near the city of Bella Bella, out in BC Canada. The village is about 16,000ish years old and could have housed about 500 people. Archeologist were going off of oral stories that were passed down by the local tribe that call Bella Bella home today, which in many accounts was very accurate. The tribe believes their ancestors sailed to their current home over many generations. (I'm going by memory so the details i presented might not be entirely accurate)

I've read the research on the White Sands tracks, and I don't understand what's "inconclusive" about them, much less controversial. I'm not sure how it could get more conclusive that there were people walking in Southern NM 23,000 yrs before present. There are other tracks in the area of megafuana that date the same. It's time to let go of the Clovis First theory.

WolfRoss, I am German, and I know my paternal ancestry pretty well, and all of my recent ancestors have lived in Middle and Western Europe. But when I took a DNA test, I was completely surprised that I have zero genes which can be traced to these regions. According to the test results I am 80 percent Scandinavian, and the other 20 percent are from Eastern Europe and the Iberian peninsula. The genetic lottery seems to have eliminated everything else. And I also contemplated how far and wide our ancestors must've traveled. Maybe there are a few Vikings amongst my ancestors, because the routes they took with their ships out of Scandinavia on their plundering sprees and settling attempts correspond pretty well with my specific gene cocktail 😉

no it's not. He tells what white ppl or outsiders are told. In the navajo schools, the real oral tradition is taught. Visitors to Chaco and many other sites that the damn Parks Depts. are in control of, will not let the real story be told. No one disappeared. They fled, hiding in the hills, cliffs and mountains. There is evidence of cannibalism at chaco, as well as The Maya being there. A mayan skull was found. We know this. but....they are coming to learn that The oral tradition in it's accurate form, is very much true. The outsiders like to impose their own world view, and change what they don't like about the oral tradition. As told by a 3rd generation medicine man and storyteller for the Dine/Navajo, The Anasazi lost their way, because of an evil supernatural being with the power of mindspeak drove them crazy. They turned to sorcery and magic, and also began to eat each other. Not because they were cannibalistic, but because this being caused them to with it's mindspeak. When the missionary's came to tell the stories of the Old Testament, we laughed and said we already know these stories. Just in our own language and terms of understanding. The Church would call those evil beings who descended from the sky "Anakim/Nephilim". I won't say more. Just think about that for a minute. YOu are not told the truth. Like I said, mainly because the Gov. will not allow it outside the tribes. It doesn't fit their world view, to fantastical etc....but is being found out to this very minute, just how true it actually is.

@@vondahartsock-oneil3343 While interesting, none of what you said negates this summary presentation from being "thorough'. Scholarly research and archaeological ground truth only goes so far, it's true. But scholarly exercise, done well, should only put forward what is provable; which is what he did. Provable history is not always capable of speaking to the nooks and crannies of a history. Your stories are interesting, but scholars need to test and prove things, because on occasion, the evidence on the ground may actually not align well with the oral record and being "close enough" doesn't count in scholarly endeavors. Also when I hear things like "I won't say more", well now whose at fault for not sharing ethnographic information that may help enlighten the scholars about what they're reading in the shared records or seeing archaeologically on the ground? And what if I was to ask a descendant of the Dine Anasazi what their view of it all is? Would they have another telling of the "truth" entirely? If a scholar is attempting to dispassionately observe and compare and understand information and context, based on each side's telling of their ethnographic truth, which should be considered more accurate to the scholar? Should a scholar be expected to be a referee in ancient grudge matches? No. But it is extremely important for scholars to have knowledge of the oral histories because it helps enlighten the potential context of their observations in history and archaeology, but they can't possibly be expected to rely on those alone, since there may be a whole other kind of truth separate from the Navajo vs Anasazi truth entirely. They need to remain open to those other possibilities as well. We all need to be open to new evidences for that matter. New evidence may challenge our belief systems, but shouldn't necessarily break them. I'm personally of the Joseph Campbell mindset on such topics. Finding that spirits or giants don't probably exist doesn't negate the lessons our ancestors were teaching us by telling us about them. Life is and always will be hard and understanding their philosophy and ethos taught by their well curated stories and belief systems can really help us get through our own journey. You seem to recognize that the stories of missionaries and your Dine people match on many fronts because the lessons of life and how we can deal with it are fairly universal. But that's all about our mental health and it can be starkly different from what we can actually prove happened, or didn't happen, in the past. I really hope the Native and Origin peoples of the Americas will continue to share their beliefs, stories, and culture and also continue to become active scholars of their own histories and archaeology. These fields desperately need their insights and understanding to be contributed and added to the scholarly body of work and its own perspective of the "truth".

The first people are the Anishinaabe, the Ojibwa; Cree and Chippewa. (Still in existence!) The narrator makes the hunting and gathering/farming they did sound as if it was perfected and abandoned by others. In fact, the Ojibwa lived this way until the Canadian and US governments, (and further, Hudson Bay trading Company) forced them to assimilate to European lifestyles. But they have not been wiped out even to this day. Catch a PowWow right here on YT. They still dance and sing…

There's a recent find that could bolster the kelp highway hypothesis, announced last week I believe. It's being called the oldest stone tools found in the Americas at around 16,000 years old and the tools are similar to those found in Japan at around the same time. This may suggest that a people carrying this technology travelled along the Pacific coast from East Asia (rather than Siberia) all the way to the Pacific Northwest and up the rivers into Idaho.

A beautiful and fascinating documentary.

Finally someone creating a cohesive whole... I'm sure in the details arguable, but in the whole and in general an idea that is synergistic and relates to a great degree to what is and was...and likely will be. I grew up traveling these areas with my parents who saw the interconnections back in the 1960's and 70's. I came from the midwest near the mound peoples, have a stone ax from a friends land that once had a tell on it until bought and leveled for a ball field in just the last few years. And those tribes we studied and then drove past Cahokia every year as we traveled west... I remember my dad a historian in certain light seeing the lines of roads out of and toward Chaco Canyon speculating on connections across the four corners area... before anyone else except perhaps hypothesized in arcane hard copy journal articles as the archeology began in ernest. I remember the medicine wheel in Wyoming when an old rancher took us way off road to it and it was still pristine. Him noting an old Indian had pointed out points on far mountains where he said if you go there you can find areas where they built huge fires that could be seen from the wheel stretching out maybe a hundred miles. I've never heard of those "fires" in any studies... I left for the Marines and an old man who eventually gave his ranch and unspoiled ruins to the U of Utah took them to a dwelling that they described as, what if you one day, got up cooked breakfast and then without eating just walked out of the door, never came back and someone came upon your house 700 years later. They said it was eerie, with the accoutrement of life including textiles, sleeping areas, weapons, little corncobs sitting next to metates and manyos ready to be processed... They said that was what they and the old rancher were reminded of and he said that was why he took them to that place... I remember walking hardly known canyons (Montezuma Canyon/Monticello) at the time, ruins untouched by the few ranchers, yet now well traveled. We walked down washes seeing tells half washed away by the Spring rains and my mom seeing blue in a partially washed out corner of a tell, wall apparent, walking up and seeing about 10 turquoise beads in a circle an obvious bracelet shape in the dirt and sun with some already gone with the rains...

One example is meditation. Buddhism & Hinduism has done a really good job at preserving the various meditation techniques people have learned over the years, but it's said that Buddha himself learned many techniques from hermits he met in the jungle.

Fact Check: THere is abundant proof of pre-Clovis Indigenous people in America. Heiltsuk tradition tells of a village on the coast that Euro scientists said was under ice - but archaeologists found a village there 14,000 years old 0 older than Clovis. That shows we are right about our history. There are sites like Bluefish Caves in Yukon that is over 24,000 years old and has withstood testing and retesting for decades now.
