Dear Santenellos, you made part of my dream come true, of my curiosity of the OGs of America and their current way of life, wondering if I could visit and meet them. This was and is the best series I've watched. Thanks to you and your team, and to the First Tribes who welcomed you and gave us a real glimpse into their world. All the way from India, wish you all a good year ahead.

My name is Autumn Dokey. I am a full blooded Navajo. Both my parents are Navajo. The origin of our story is believed to be based on terrestrial life. We believe our people came from space. Our tradition is very complex and very different from the Hopi and Apache cultures. There is a lot of secret knowledge and important history. Some knowledge can be shared while others are only known within the tribe. There are certain seasons where we can tell certain stories. I hope this helps you understand more about the Navajo people. (We don’t believe we came from Alaska) The Long Walk was a terrible tragedy for our Navajo people. The long walk happened bc the “white men” came and told our people that they came bc they need some land. So they made treaties and they broke there treaties sending all the native Americans to a remote place telling us that it was our new home. Our people didn’t like that, bc the lands we already had were sacred. The long walk is something the Navajo people will never forget.

[@stacywilson1411]

Autumn, I recently read Sing Down the Moon and learned in a historical fiction way about The Long Walk. I was also fortunate enough to have stayed at Spider Rock Campground in 2017, and looking back wish I was more educated then as i only become more interested as time goes on. Thank you for sharing anything you can or want to 🤍

Autumn Dokey, from space I believe that. We are all guests on earth. It doesn't matter where you're from. Be good to the earth. Where have all the murdered people spirits gone?

I took a trip from Canada to flagstaff a few years ago with the intention of exploring the desert and avoiding all tourist attractions. I drove to the middle of nowhere and parked my car. Grabbed my backpack and walked in the desert to camp for a week. During my wandering deep in the desert I came across a elder Hopi. He was so surprised to see me out there let alone a white man. He called me a crazy white man for camping in the middle of nowhere. We talked for sometime. He told me some history of his people and the history of the Hopi and some of their history with the Navajo. What an amazing man. I asked if I could take a picture of of him and he declined. Instead he gave me a necklace of his neck and as he put in me saying some words in Hopi and wished me safe travels. He went one way around a huge Mesa and and I sat there for a bit reflecting on a chance meeting. My trip to Arizona was truly an experience I will not soon forget. He was truly a beautiful human being.

Oh man! I didn't expect there to be a Hopi one! I am Hopi, and as Lehauli described through my mother and her maternal lineage, we do follow that way. I am also Dine(Navajo) on my Dad's side, but I always introduce myself as a Hopi first. my Family is the snake clan (Tsu'yam) from Polacca (by first Mesa/Walpi). It's awesome to see this series and how he allows representatives of each culture to show him around. As Lehauli described it is a very different world and it always feel that way when I go back. It's a funny thought when I see a brand new Lexus or 3500 Dually trucks new cell phones while just 1.5 hrs north of Holbrook or Winslow there is the world your family comes from, an ancient way of beliefs and a tough way of living, yet we take pride of how much we appreciate it and try our best to keep it going. There is alot he didn't film and yes it is like that, there's so much more to our culture that you would have to have hours and days to learn about it. The dances are open to visitors but there is no filming. Glad to see many of the other tribes and non-native folks commenting on these videos, it's very heart warming to have your humble culture appreciated. very insightful too, because there is only so much I ever learned about the other tribes that I found in books or short videos, but this is very direct. Definitely looking forward to more!!!

The reason that I had the experience was I with an Anthropology class from Pasadena College visiting the Navajo and Hopi along with other sites including Canyon De Chelly. I had one experience that was very special. Watching you two walking out to the end of the mesa was surreal for me. I went out there alone and gazed over the land, while doing so I looked down over the cliff and noticed what looked like old structures, when I got back to the others I asked one of the elders what I was seeing at the bottom of the cliff. I was told that before the Navajo came the Hopi lived everywhere on the land, not just the mesas. So, yes!!! The Hopi were the original people of the land. One last thing I want to share is when I was there, outhouses use to overhang the cliff. Guess they are all gone now.

I love the way you ask questions and listen to the people explain their culture in their own words. I am happy for them and for you showing us that they are maintaining their traditions, religion, and language. It must be a hard thing to do in today's environment of bigotry, economic stress, high prices, unwanted influences, and lack of opportunities. Diversity is the thing that makes life interesting and beautiful to me. You are showing how the people are doing that. You seem to have earned a lot of their trust and respect but at the same time you are genuinely interested in what they have to say. Despite the best efforts of the early "bahana", "beliganna", "Washishu", (sp?) to wipe them and their culture out, it did not completely happen. They endure. They are a resilient and very expressive people and deserve all the respect and love that those of us who are empathetic to their existence can bring. Thank you Pete for sharing this with us.

For example, some California natives have a word for Pacific islander that translates to English as "the big men". There are also shared words like the sweet potato, kumar and kumara.

Thank you for sharing this. I first learned of the Hopi 4 years ago. I’ve heard about them but never learned anything about them until I watched the Hopi Prophesy. I could not stop watching… I watched and listened to the prophecy at least 30 times. After that I decided to let go of the material path and follow Yeshua through the garden. It’s been amazing, difficult and satisfying. Today we walk with our hands open as we journey through the garden. Something Yah taught me; “To walk through the garden you’ll need to walk with your hands open. If you take the material path you will have to walk with your hands closed.” Those words are heavy and so true. It’s a faith and trust walk when you take the garden path.
