Dogon Art and Life

[@liegesaboya33]

Im amazed by the power and fascination of the complexity and magical culture of these people ; thanks Roy ! congratulations to have documented it .

[@momosow4192]

Thank you so much for this video it’s full of culture, art and tradition.

[@TemplarX2]

Nice beautiful work again. Your professionalism keeps amazing me. Your are basically recording history.

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

Thank you Feathered Serpent. I am concerned that the medium will be self-destructive: by that I mean that ten years from now everyone will have moved to a different delivery system, and this "history" will be lost.

[@racesmith3075]

Wow. wasn't expecting to enjoy this so much.fascinating and well told

[@diakaridiadolo5595]

Vive L'afrik ,vive le Mali ,vive la communaute Dogon

[@IKUCHI-TRIBE-ICUICY]

Thank you for posting !!!

[@tuwlaets]

thank you for this compendium of material on the dogon of mali. when i was 19 years old, i saw a dogon weaving in a display at kroeber hall at berkeley as i took a short cut to get to my literature class on time. it stopped me in my tracks and i stared for a long time. since then, i have seen many dogon works, including the great mask, gogolia, that griaule brought to the musee de l'homme. it is some of the most profound art i have ever experienced. again, thank you for this wonderful overview.

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

I am happy you enjoyed it and found it helpful. I like Hopi weaving as well. How about you?

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

I love Hopi weaving. Yes, it appears it was Hopi men who taught Navajo women to weave after the Pueblo uprising. I could tell by your last name you were familiar with the Mesas. I teach American Indian art as well as African art. Have you watched my video "Men's and Woman's Weaving in Africa"? Does your relative only sell to Hopi?

[@egyptnepthys5177]

Christopher Roy a shame that you teach African art and you know very little truths about the Dogon system. That story at 31:00 was all lies. You are an imposter.

[@ingerziiii]

WoW! This reminds me of the Hopi people. Excellent video

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

Yes, I agree with you. Isn't it wonderful how such different people, with no contact ever, seem to have found the same solutions to similar problems.

[@ingerziiii]

yes! I'm watching again..i'm learning/understanding things. Apache, Chihuahua, all these tribes all over earth are in sync.I'm stunned, and so happy to learn this. I'm thinking to myself..this is how you live together as human beings..in community..celebrating all living things/beings..each other. I love learning about the apache because of a dream..and now look where it has taken me! I'm thinking that if white people new their true indigenous roots we would not be searching for all these answers today. Incredible..beautiful

[@jedagw9212]

Such a beautiful culture. Thank you for sharing. Watched other documentaries about them and this one shows us more about their stunning culture. Also...their extensive advanced knowledge of science and space before modern science also blows my mind, astounding . They seem to have such a simple looking life I think their ancestors as well themselves are the most extraordinary people.

[@1265tony]

Thank you, great video.

[@oliviavongries837]

Professor Roy - I watched the video! I especially enjoyed the portion about the Pale Fox divination.

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

Good for you Olivia. You can tell I enjoy the Pale Fox as well. What do I have to do to get the other students to watch the video?

[@ncbrothad]

amazing video...Thanks

[@dew2912]

Dr. Christopher Roy is a genuine expert in this field of knowledge.

[@egyptnepthys5177]

The deceased tools pots or personal items are broken to prevent them from being corrupted , not to break ancestor ties. Ancestral ties are never broken. More proof this guy doesn’t know what he is saying.

[@liegesaboya33]

Mr. Christopher , do you have any video about the production of glass beads in Africa ?

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

No, I am sorry. I wish I did. You could take a camera to Bida in Nigeria or CAmeroon and make a video.

[@liegesaboya33]

thanks -- what a wonderful surprise was to discover your work on african culture - amazing , stunning , magical . Have a nice day , thanks

[@onamiilove777]

[@ChristopherRoyJamesCook1768]

Yes, the people who think the Dogon came from outer space are foolish. Or do you think they came from Sirius B? BTW, it is "narrator."

[@blacknussTV]

I don't know Roy, the universe is still full of undiscovered mysteries.
