@@andecap1325 Correct. Chaco Canyon was the home of the Anasazi for less than 300 years. They came from the south (Mexico or Central America), conquered the Pueblo People and made them all slaves. They forced the Pueblo People to build the walls of their own prison that still stand today. They were NOT Navajo or any other tribe indigenous to that area. In fact all other tribes and clans for hundreds of miles feared and hated the Anasazi. The Anasazi worshipped the darkness and regularly performed torture and human sacrifices on the Pueblo People. Navajo history says that the Anasazi were utterly destroyed by the gods because they were so evil, never to be seen again. Chaco translates to "Tears and pain".

[@yawbear]

Sickening too many things to list. Seems to me no matter what history you search, there is a theme of those that have morals try to make it better for their people and because not all people are moral even in smaller people groups, chaos and change happens in all the carnage no one cares that someone else tried to make a difference. The only people that are remembered for what they actually did or said are evil, and the good ones get misquoted or misrepresented and used to legitimize the most grotesque human thoughts. Many examples of how this applies are available in many different and diverse situations in history. This does not belong to one group this is global. Bad people take advantage of their own people first, and use them up, when they get well suited to it they exploit the rest of the community even as young children, they lie and covertly hide in plain sight before they strike out on the big things, how do you stop it? Standing up for others, standing up against them is the only thing that ever makes a difference but if you’re standing up against the world of this conflicted world you might find yourself in exile or dead.

I agree. I'm mestizo. 18% Sonoran. I hold tight to that part of my ancestry. This story brings me great grief. Essentially, if the US Government and four corners states would address the needs of Tribal Nations in the greater US Sonoran area, ie, water, internet, green energy projects, and educational needs, I believe all of this infighting could be avoided. Also, It pains me to see that the "Church" is still. to this day, so willing to proselytize the "Good Word" of Christianity but will not step in to truly make a difference in the lives of first families living on Reservation lands. It is my belief that: Water rights, language and history education, Sovereign Democratic Mineral Rights and an equal voice in State and National bills that affect Tribal sovereignty are integral to keeping the peace amongst Fist Nation peoples but also continuing the foundations already built by our ancestors.

The future that our creator gave to us, is now being shared. Now is the time to give the final say to the elders of the tribes and not just the people. And the US Government must recognize that the land they share with us be a remembrance to the all creator. I do not know how to do this or what is involved. But we must have transportation. Otherwise there will be no meetings, pow pows, tribal council meetings, etc. Maybe these big oil companies should be apart of ritual to give an offering to the all creator and be present in some ceremonies that are Otherwise forbidden.

Hi this is a good thing to support the younger generation of people and your youth with in ower indigenous culture thanks for the video on this subject matter

[@fredharvey2720]

As far as wells, speculators LOVE drilling and abandoning wells and sticking the state with the cleanup costs so these concerns are very well founded. Every single one of these companies needs to be locked out of the area for good.

Give them Ben and Jerry's assets so they can afford to sue the Gov't to protect their heritage.

Glad to hear the Native people are learning the truth about the Democrats. Also they are making great sense in this video. Trust me if the WEF gets its way all of us will suffer. 😳 I wish you well all. ❤

This week I drove the Georgia section of the Trail of Tears. Few know that Andrew Jackson was one of the founders of the Democrat Party. I felt such sadness thinking about the thousands of Cherokees who died along the route.

When you sacrifice Mother Earth, for Money, it hurts my heart. First Nations deserve all Land rights, water rights that are "In Trust" for them. When the truth comes out, we will all find that, all of The Americas are First Nations' Land...

[@Freebirdz3]

Never expect a straight answer from Washington, DC. I’m reminded daily by the Trail of Tears signs in my area of how Washington, DC acts. Promise one thing and deliver something else.

I'm Navajo/Diné, & I feel the place should be closed down to everyone. no tourism. no mining. no prayers. nothing. because as I was taught: THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE LIVING THERE. those people see everything. they see all the people who invade their home to gawk or pray, with no regard to their personal space or privacy. their home is also a sacred ground, & should be treated as one. there is a reason why people left it abandoned. you don't dig in the graves of your relatives, so leave a ruin alone.

[@kawaiksify]

As a Pueblo Native I feel the same way about "people still living there". Many Pueblos still continue to make pilgrimages to Chaco to pray. We visit several times each year. It's not a ruin, it's our ancestral lands.

[@hydro6en317]

@@kawaiksify not all Pueblos consider this sacred grounds. some don't want to step foot on it because they were told not to go back either. I personally know some Pueblos who also agree with me when I say: LEAVE IT BE. if Mother Earth takes it back, then it's not our place to take it from her.

[@mrctzn4557]

The first controversy I notice is indigenous people being employed, plus compensated by oil and gas development is helping those families. So what benefit is the government giving them if they disallow those benefits? Regulations keep the oil companies from polluting so why not use the natural resources?

[@stevenlewisking1982]

President of the United States of America and King of the scots here.

[@bellabella9181]

Tribal nations should learn how to manage their own resources. That includes gas and oil. Leasing their land for peanuts so some big oil company can make vast profits does not benefit them.

[@A.M.7886]

They never had any land unless the US gov crooks gave it those Asian,Siberians or Mongolians. And remember they said that they don't believe in owning land. Truth is here !!! It's our stolen land, us the actual indigenous copper races( documented) and falsely called black or, now they're constantly yelling AA as if we came from Africa no we didn't, we're different ethnicities from them except for the ones who went to places like Liberia, Nigeria etc some time ago!!

[@georgesheffield1580]

The law prevents them doing this , the corporations and the rich manipulate the congress and the BIA to prevent a change .

[@mothersgauri4137]

Excellent point. However, it seems everything in government has been structured to make that impossible. And this lady saying she is now Republican is like saying, OK, I will support a different oil company and that will change things. Whoever makes the biggest promises, I'll go with that one. Forget about what any of those promises even mean. But we just keep buying into it and here we are.

Hi my mother found out that we are descendants of a Native American tribe not federally recognized. They were in Ohio and was pushed out in the 1800s. They look darker skin like some of my lineage. Any advice?

Divide & Conquer. That has been the method since Day One. People's, UNITE! Wani wachinca onshimala.😓

[@mybuddyrobin]

Ok, wait, NO Native person wants the land misused. Why isn't the question, what do these families need? The are OBVIOUSLY financially struggling. Do they have Mazlow's base needs met? Are they people who #SCOTUS told today they have no right to clean running water? If so, why not budget in a comprehensive water infrastructure program.... then offer PAID onthejob retraining so these locals can stay home and have careers locally that cud translate later to small busines skill sets needed on rez. Also .... why in 21C are ALL the professionals at chaco canyon #ESO's? Worse so calledwhite ppl who are dismissive of local staff & their cultural knowledge. We LIVED at Chaco Canyon Dec 2022 - for a few weeks. These families live on an edge homeless, city people cannot fathom. Us, drydocked in a nice rv for a few weeks without funds.... STILL cannot fathom. ❤
