I'm from Utah, my dad passed away last year, he was very much into this stuff. His golden rule when camping/exploring is ALWAYS LEAVE THE AREA BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT! ALWAYS! It's so upsetting being raised in these mountains and such and seeing the state we are leaving these areas in... it's atrocious, sad, disgusting. You name it. Please, even if it isn't your trash, pick up the area when going about. It's only getting worse.

I am 60 years old, from Idaho. My dear Dad also taught the same principles! When we went camping with him as children, we just automatically know to pick up anything that God didn't put there and we would haul it out with us. It is so hard to hear all these young people of today, talk the talk about loving the Earth and then see what they leave behind. I like you, leave the place even if it's a rest area, better than when I went in. I am sure you miss your Dad like I do mine:) Sorry for his passing.

Our lives have been intertwined with Native American culture and deep appreciation in tribal practices for many decades and remain in awe of the genius and humility.

When I was 16 years old, I was able to visit cliff dwellings and it was so moving. There was a deep presence I had never experienced before there that I have never forgotten. All of the visitors in our group fell silent while exploring the sites. It was so wonderful! The tour guide has explained the amazing intelligence of the people who lived in these areas, historically. They had developed a more advanced way of living harmoniously with their environment than today's people. And those Navajo tacos are so delicious. I learned how to make them years ago. Everyone I have made them for, always ask me to make them again. This beautiful video warms my heart!

Nicely done. Sensitivity to the culture is key to understanding unwritten history. I’ve been fortunate to have some patient Native Americans guide me to essentials that I’d never get to from schools and books. You learn to respect what you don’t know.

I love the Natives. Such underrated people. They are a National Treasure

Thank you for sharing this... One fact just stands out at me.. we did so much desecration to "learn" about the native inhabitants. Rather than just asking them and listening to what they say. From a small child I remember them telling me stories about how their family goes back 10,000 years here in America I believe them lol. Some tribes have told me it's further. So I understand why they would want to keep things to themselves now. Some have told me their people come from nowhere else. I just take their lessons they give me and I'm happy about it lol. Added note... They also tell me I belong here. and this is my history too. This is our history this is mankind's history

I visited my Grandfather in Las Vegas, NM. At the time he mined granite from the mountains and made headstones. We hiked up a small mountain near his home that had an old stone "arena" built into the side of it. It was interesting that there were fish in small pools of water at the top of the mountain. I really enjoyed exploring around the area where he lived and catching horned-toed lizards and such. I would love to go back and visit the area again.

Am a fan of cultures around the 🌎, and their food. Just ❤️ 👋 history.

mesa verde is cool and all, but walking around here is so much fun, to experience it 'on your honor' to not mess with things. I only wish I did it in the digital camera days, only have a few photos.

I began tramping around the Southwest as a young child, my Dad an inveterate "what's around the next bend" curiosity seeker, whose idea of "weekend fun" was trinkling from stock pond to ancient site, to volcanic cone to wandering the Malpais. We visited El Moro, and Chaco, in 1954, the first time, around my 5th birthday. By the time I was 10, I easily had 100,000 miles under my belt, all over NM, AZ, southern and western CO, eastern and southern CA, UT, into southern ID, WY, MT (briefly), OR and WA. Since then, I've completed another 250K miles, all the way into BC, Alberta, and northern Mexico, out to include all but 6 of the states, Europe, Africa, southern Asia, the Philippines, and several islands in the Pacific. Along the way, conundrums, irregularities, discontinuities, and the mysteries of how the geologic wonderland of the Southwest, pecked unceasingly at my curiosity. I believe I understand what brought the Anasazi to their date with destiny in the American Southwest. I prefer the old term, as I do not agree these were originally "pueblo" people. They might have become the seeds of the Pueblo Culture, but they were survivors of cataclysms that defy description in our modern texts, thanks to myopia, self-interest and assorted biases that preclude consideration of relatively-recent natural causes. Most likely, they were the descendants of northern Asians, unlike southern Asians, who hunted across an large "island"-like "accretionary plate", before Exodus, who became "trapped", when the Bering Sea invested the lower area between present-day Alaska and Siberia's Kamchatka Peninsula. The region was formerly a paradise for hunters, judging by the skeletal remains of tens of thousands of animals, many of whom never lived in cold climes, nor travelled more than a few miles from their birthplaces. NatGeo published a poster-insert in an early-'70s issue, of the most recognizable and out-of-place animals, discovered when gold-dredging operations began in the early days of the 20th Century, in Alaska, fouling and clogging the mechanisms with their numbers, including hippopotami and horses (early examples of both have also been found in Nebraska). The survivors travelled south, to warmer regions, eventually stumbling on the massive "lake" that sat centered on the Four Corners, from circa 1500BC, to sometime around 1200AD, when the last of the waters drained down the Grand Canyon. This caused the wild examples of erosion we see, today, across southern UT, southwestern CO, northwestern NM and northeastern AZ, along with the massive scars from southern ID, across southern WY, into southeastern OR, down western UT, all across NV, and into eastern CA, to the feet of the eastern slopes of the Sierras, some of the dryest parts of the country, showing incredible erosion effects. The Anasazi had no choice but to move when the water dribbled away, seeking newer, better-irrigated climes. Their obvious attention to astronomical events clearly points to an extraterrestrial source of the chaos and confusion, as do similar sites in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South and Central America, and aboriginal Australia, where recent-ancient man was hyper-concerned with keeping track of the "stars", or more appropriately, things coming out of the skies. The Pueblo peoples are undoubtedly descended from those who stayed close by, but it's probable the Anasazi went eastward, too, joining with other groups who had travelled south, following the originating cataclysms, or forming alliances and making war as humans seem to have a propensity for. There is little doubt the original inhabitants of the core piece of the North American continent, the ONAC (Old North American Craton), were wiped out in the deluge we refer to as Noah's Flood, happening a millennia before the events I speak of, and the accretion of the pieces that make up the present-day North American Plate would have eradicated most of the descendants that had survived. All alive today are descendants of the catastrophes and cataclysms of the ancient past, the fortunate few who lived to see other days, and better times. Along the way, we picked up cultural phobias and irrational ideas, like racism and xenophobia, and a taste for war and killing, that speak to our baser instincts. Nothing brings out the worst, and best, in smaller quantities, than chaos, confusion and the collapse of cultural authority and standards. Just read the stories between the stories, in the Bible, or in ancient history texts, of the rise and fall of empires, and the record of man's inhumanity to man, Drop me a line, if you'd like to talk about this. I have been researching the topic for nearly 50 years, in addition to my travels. It is a fascinating story, one that gets little traction in a world of "millions of years ago" and "ice ages", where everything is conveniently compartmentalized to minimize conflicts with religionist thinking and the many wild theories of geology, archaeology and related disciplines who don't talk among their co-researchers (outside the confines of their own discipline, iow), about the impacts of the theories that fly in the face of reality (ice ages!). The hillside cave-shelters, like Mesa Verde, and those your video reveals, were built on the "banks" of flowing water, aka "rivers", although most drained away water and were done. As the water levels lowered, the peoples climbed down, to rebuild. The last segment, the lake that stretched from present-day Flagstaff, over to the western slopes of the mountains against Valles Caldera, about 275 miles, and from the edges of the Mogollon Rim, up to the bottom edges of the plateau where Canyonlands NP sits, almost 300 miles, lasted from the end of the catastrophes, circa 720BC, to the disappearance of the Anasazi, circa 1250AD, nearly 2,000 years, as the water ate at the lava plug in the western reaches of the Grand Canyon-Parashant area. This is a fascinating story, one filled with heroics and unassuming heroes, alike. The difficulties these peoples struggled with are hinted at in the Hopi and Navajo origin stories, as well as the origins of several other groups, who tell of "emerging" into this "glittering" world, as if from a deep, dark cave, after several generations. It flies in the face of "steady state" uniformitarian thinking, and disputes the narrative currently taught by mainstream academics, of "slow, steady change" brought about incrementally. No, these changes happened in less time than it takes to tell of them, with sweeping alterations in every part of daily life. Massive changes to the topography, river courses, mountain-building, and the orientation of the Earth to the Sun, and to its natural course. The seasons changed, the length of the year changed, and the world the Anasazi "emerged" into bore little relation to the world that had departed.

The claim is as meaningful as any colonial claim from several hundreds of years ago, which is to say, not at all.

We went on a road trip through parts of UT, AZ and N Mexico , it's beautiful and I would need months to enjoy all that those states have to offer.

Very interesting and the pace is set for reflection but moves along, the guide is wonderful because his views are from his personal and Tribal history, and while professional archaeology is to be appreciated for dating and analyzing this is like being with them on the walk.

I'm 55 but when I was 8 my family lived in Colorado and we vacationed for a month and camped all over the four corners area. I love that part of the United States, it's so beautiful with so many different things to see.

Well done and appreciated. The original keepers of our home.

Neat! My nans, when she was a girl use to herd sheep around that area. Also near her homestead there are dwellings from ancient times. Inside one pueblo there is a fire pit that still has charcoal and a pot with bits of dried corn inside. Ud think mice or whatever else wildlife would have eaten them but she use to tell us that our small game relatives know that doesn't belong to them and to leave it for the ancient ones. Within my oral teachings, we believe that one day they will return. And if something is taken from a site they most definitely will haunt you until you return them. Also if you see shards of pottery/plates/mugs, please retrace your steps and back away. Those broken pots/plates/mugs are funerary offerings. There are many sites that aren't recorded around Dinétah, I'm glad yall got to see this place.

You should be, Utah is an amazing state,until a few hundred years ago that was Mexico.

Wow!!! The algorithm has done it again for me!!!! I am an archeology enthusiast and my dad took me traveling the most he could and when I was around 7 years old we went to the smoky mountains and we visited an Indian reservation and I made friends with the chiefs grand daughter, I wanted to stay but my dad of course wouldn’t permit me plus we didn’t live in the area but I always remember this very fondly and I feel I lived as a Native American in other lives😉 I’d love to have been there , I would love to visit these sites before kicking the bucket 😮😅

Cool video thnx for showing respect for my people ✌️
