Excellent speaker. Knows his stuff. Videographer should focus more on slides.

So u commanche

Content and presenter excellent.. Living in Pacific NW I need visuals to orient myself to geography and names of areas, present towns, and indigenous groups.

U should see my feather s!!!!!!😊

Recent paper on Chaco as a bison-hide trading/processing center is super interesting.

To be 100% I've made and tested various stone axes and the ones where we used cordage as a bind and haft it from a groove around the stone, fails more often then when the stone is seated and pitched into a hole.

I can't believe this video only has 96 views. It is one of the most interesting and thought-provoking topics I've yet come across. I've always strongly believed there was some connection between Chaco and Mesoamerica, and not just a casual one; this adds more compelling evidence to suggest it. I would have loved to have seen one of the two-hour presentations!

I agree with many of the study results. I deal more with tools and implements but I think that your assessment of the arrow types was right on.

My Grandfather Ferrin started the Dairy Queen in Safford, and my Uncle owned it for a long time.

I can’t really hear this due to poor sound quality. And I can see that the speaker will probably not come to a point.

I WAS REAL DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT THE EARLY VOLUNTEERS (1992) AND THE ARCHAEOLOGISTS WEREN'T EVEN MENTIONED. ALSO NOTHING ON NED DANSEN. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR VOLUNTEERS GETTING THE SITE READY FOR TOURISM WHO KNOWS WHERE THIS SITE MIGHT BE. SOME WHO NEEDED TO BE MENTIONED WERE CHRIS, DIANNE, DR. JOHN H. AND THE MANY EARLY VOLUTEERS DESERVE MENTIONING, AS WELL AS THE ARIZ. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY WHO ALL CONTRIBUTED. I KNOW THEY COULDN'T ALL BE MENTIONED, BUT THEY DESERVE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED.THAT ALL HAPPENED BEFORE ARCH. SOUTHWEST.

Great presentation! Thank you.

His theory does not improve with age.

Nothing definitive or convincing is ever known.

This is just amazing. And it reminded me. My parents got to go to Waldo Wilcox's ruins with him taking them there. My family camped out there every year in Green River and Moab, were good friends with Moki Mac "park ranger" character to say the least. They met as he came around to get the fee for camping in the park and ended up talking to my dad and realized his interests in the history and so they became friends. We were avid on the history out there and my dad a Jr. High School principal back in Indiana had like 70 days a year to go out there, so we went. He ended up creating a HS course on western history. I remember bouncing around the back of Moki's van as he took us places from like 9 till I left for the Marines. He was always appalled at the people who defaced the pictographs and said he was trying to figure out how to create the mostly brownish black and paint it back in where it had been defaced. I still remember him talking about those things. But, after I left so, 1974 I believe, Moki got Waldo Wilcox (another character) to take my parents out to see some of "his" ruins and I've noted elsewhere, my mom said imagine someone coming into your kitchen, house a thousand years later and finding it just like you left it almost like you were cooking dinner and just got up and walked away, including everything from pots, textiles, jewelry, weapons, odds and ends, the whole picture. She said dad and her were in awe and Waldo talked about it in sort of hushed tones. Moki told my dad as my dad told me, that he was pretty sure at least one person had attempted to sneak onto Waldo's land and didn't leave...

I'm a Hopi and my grndfather told me😮 that we were one people at one time and we all talked the same language and when we all went our different ways, we started talking different languages. This was when I was a young boy. And I thought he was talking about all the natives of Amarca, but he was talking about us Hopis the New Maxico Peablo people. Our language at that time was complax at that time, but now our language is more simple. He use to tell me that we talk like babies now. He also told me that the Navajos came down from alaska somewhere that why their hogonsl are shaped like igloos. Hogons are made out of mud cause there's no snow down in this area. He told me that when he was a litte boy, he use to travel around with his grandfather to trade his crop after harvest time with other tribes in his grandfather's wagon and they would travel so far, and camp the night and go on the next day to their destination and he told me that they wouldn't see any Navajos anyway. This is his true story. Older men told my family that he was way older then he says je was. So I beleave his stories about the Navajos. He use to tell about how we Hopis use to live. Use to love to listen to him. I guess I was luck to have a grandfater like him. Learned a lot from him.

Thank you. Very informative

Anasazi Lies? Taking the Past Back. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWK4Y3qmZ8mnhJI Navajo Traditional Teachings In this video Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, teaches the traditional Navajo teachings surrounding Chaco Canyon. It's an ugly history and goes against the popular opinion of anthropologists. The oral stories surrounding the Anasazi people paint a much different picture. A violent people whose economy is based on slavery. A people who worshiped the darkness and participated in human sacrifice. Most of our Navajo people know the stories we have are different than the popular narrative from the anthropologists. We travel to Chaco and walked through the ruins. Through the "Place of Crying".

A Lifetime work! Congratulations!

Fantastic lecture wherein he did not simply, mechanically recite from a prepared text. The information and graphics carried this viewer through with great enthusiasm.

Go Karen!!! Great vid 🎉

Very weak and unconvincing presentation of arguments.

Quite weak.

I am 80 days into my experimental garden project. I planted the three sisters directly into a lawn without tilling or weeding, or preparing the area at all. I used Hopi Blue and planted them deep, below the grass roots because I hope to show that the corn can be grown with almost no effort directly in a lawn. I planted more than 1200 corn seed’s along with beans and squash in 60 stations. I believe that this is by far the best corn to keep on hand for survival seeds anywhere in the country. I am documenting my progress on my channel.

I'm from Jemez and spent 26 years in hopi, in Jemez I'm a Oak Clan, as many told me in Hopi I belong with the Greasewood. Cool.

What a terrific lecture. Perhaps a future lecture could discuss the wide variety of food products obtained and used by the people. I was amazed when I learned how varied the diet was.

Informative. Interesting. Ineffective production methodology. I’ve turned it off.

It would have been nice to see more of his photos of these communities.

Regarding that whole community moving idea - other groups moved often when necessary. Game and other resources running out in an area would cause plains peoples to move. Resources, ground productivity issues for crop production, water sources drying up, I want to live in a better neighborhood with a better view, who knows.

Why does the videographer use long distant shots when the lecturer is pointing out intersects? Can’t see a thing. Very frustrating.

Was Chaco the home of red haired giants who enslaved humans and were also cannibals? The fallen ones (aka nephilim)

Interesting talk.

In north western NM, my brothers and I (1987) discovered some of these one night as we were clearing our land of brush for planting. We warmed the larger ones up in the brush fire and ate them. (about walnut sized) The rest stayed in the ground. I was always curious about this odd potato that was growing amongst the sage in only a thirty foot radius.

Seems critically important that Pot styles are very much a Female issue !! As a Blank page having no pre conceived ideas, if females make pots exactly as they were taught by their mothers, seems very logical that tracking DNA between peoples especially through mitochondrial DNA as these segments of DNA are exclusively inherited from the mother !! In much of history bonds between people are established by way of arranged marriages between groups of people !!

Who is this gentleman at the end of the video named "Joe"? I'd like to speak with him

keShi 🪶🌈⛈️🐸⛈️🌈🪶🌝

Chaco culture (including MV) collapsed due to elites oppressing people (and eating them!) …..archeologist Christy Turner found 80 sites with cannibalism. Never mentioned?

they left in a hurry from the looks

The vandalism charges should be gigantic enough to discourage any mass clearing projects by large companies and it should go towards indigenous communities, in order to give the government incentive to refrain from large scale archaeological destruction themselves.

Talk to the Elders. Remember the past

O this was something special!

Great video!

The second you mentioned climate change I knew this is all bullshit like usual. We don't need you're far left agenda to get layered into native history and traditions. No one on earth has been worse for the Indian people than whites who are coming to save the day "and help write" our histories. I wish more natives would wakeup and see who the real enemy is; the white academic saviors. Sincerely, a native who understands history.

The Creator bless you Lyle you speak from the heart… Keep teaching Hopi culture and keep the spirit of peace alive…

This looks like a good beginning.

Great presentation of my favorite ancient americsn culture! Thank you!

This is an awesome outreach which I will share with as many folks as I know miight have a peripheral intetest. I'm not from your focus area, but the High Plains of Texas, but every time I drive past a "playa lake" - aka buffalo wallow - I I mourn. So many thanks to everyone!

Great presentation. Thank you!

Ok. I apologize. I enjoyed this presentation. Thank you!

Is it just me, or is this presenter overly self centered in his assesments. It feels more arrogant than scholarly presentations usually are.
