Papago, Desert People

[@daviddavila4133]

My grandmother was born on that reservation back in 1906. And then move to Los Angeles in the 1920s, where she met my grandfather and then moved up to Monterey California where they were part of the fishing industry. It's been our home ever since:-)

[@BennysAfterHours]

Although the video was made 60 years ago and in many ways its simplistic views are outdated, I think it was made with kindness and a good heart.

Where they recorded this video is silnagkia village I'm from there and the man explaining the house ran Sundance as well I won't point out names but these are basically my friends parents so strange

[@calicat3015]

Can someone kindly translate my grandpas name "Bernardino" to the language that the tribe speaks. And the last name as well..Jaimez. Greatly appreciated.

[@SoldierDrew]

Those names don't translate into Papago

I wish the man kept the bread rather than putting it back.

[@eathealthykalefood2388]

He probably didn’t know if he could keep it lol

[@warflowersociety]

This is hard to watch. Heavy on the heart. I wonder how many see the white/colonization involved in this "documentary". Oil, etc. and what, people of the reservation would have wealth? Can't believe the narrator gave that impression. The underlying tone of comply or suffer.

[@te7931]

Lmao, the tribe regularly used the US cavalry to defend them from Navajo and Apachec raids. The US govt protected the pima & papago at all costs, and they were hired as Indian Scouts. Plz stop the lies, you dont know all tribal histories

[@dakotadunman6359]

hey its tohono oodham not papago anymore, useless name

[@elizabethbeal5406]

Dakota Dunman. I heard about Papagos when I lived in Tucson in the 80s, then never heard that name again. This explains why. Thanks.

[@bennywolf2169]

False, it's historical data at this point.

[@Scarlitcorpse]

It was a very racist name for sure

[@kamekaze8524]

Actually scientific name is papago when the spainyards migrated from the ocean like colombus they asked us who we were we thought they were asking how we survived so we said papagoi which is a bean

[@eathealthykalefood2388]

@@Scarlitcorpse it’s not racist 😂

[@sgdolt]

First minute in and I can feel how uninformed they are when talking about them. It’s a shame history went the direction it did. How high does the sycamore grow.

[@XC797]

Keep the blame game alive and further the divide.

[@sgdolt]

whatever you say.

Making up your own history are you?
