As always, very blessed to have Mr Wally’s teachings about the the Navajos and the interactions with the peoples they encountered as they headed east. Always interesting to hear these stories about who built the great sites in the Southwest and how the Dine fit into its history. The subject of this video, everything being wrongly attributed to the “Anasazi” could also apply to the archaeology of central and South America, with the Aztecs and Incas taking the limelight for many of the sites in their respective cultural areas yet failing to take into account the numerous cultures that preceded them and were contemporary to them as well. Very insightful that the same occurs in the Southwest with the Anasazi.

[@julietfischer5056]

Coast-hopping would allow people to travel long distances quickly (compared to land travel). Rising sea levels after the last Ice Age would have submerged many sites. It's not impossible, IMO, for there to have been ocean-going peoples similar to the later Polynesians. For whatever reason, they didn't last long on their islands, but did reach the western coast of the Americas. And perhaps some land-hopping by proto-Europeans (who were not the Aryans fantasized by white supremacists).

[@jeremiahjewell3398]

The Bering land bridge occurred during the last glacial maximum (between 26k and 19k years ago)

[@StockyDude]

Okay, I think you misunderstood what they meant when they said the land bridge was 13,000 years ago. The land bridge did not appear and then disappear 13,000 years ago. That’s just when it began to fade, meaning that it was there for tens of thousands of years before that and could’ve been traversed for tens of thousands of years, so it’s completely plausible that those footprints belonged to the descendants of people who traversed it.

I’ve lived in the southwest many years now. I’ve been to Chaco, Mesa Verde and so many other that I couldn’t begin to count. I’ve also spent time on the res with my grandmother trying to help the kids and poor. But I’m white and we were always on the outside trying to look in. Always looking at wonder at all the ruins, petroglyphs, pictographs, arrowheads, art but never understanding any of it. I’ve listened to so many tour guides try to explain the meaning of these things, why there’s that strange rectangular ditch in the Kivas, what the various nooks and notches and features meant. The only thing I’m sure, is that 95% of the things we think we know are nothing but pure speculation and guesses. I don’t think that necessarily a bad thing. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make an educated guess. However, many times there is no humility and they are not honest enough to say we don’t know and this is just what we think. That’s where they lose me. Your teachings hit me as very honest. You say with no apology, “this is what we are told” These are the words we have had passed down for many years. Your words ring true to me, and even when you mention things you can not possibly know for sure like whether ancestors came across a land bridge or not, you just state the facts as you have been told and what you have seen and what makes sense. I just want to thank you for sharing these stories so we can all learn. Just as there is profound truth and wisdom behind Plato all these thousands of years later. So too, there is profound wisdom in your culture and ceremonies and stories and words. I hope for all our sakes you do everything you can to pass it down and make a record of it for all of our grandchildren to learn from and to cherish their legacy. Be well :)

Anthropology is merely a soft science.

Therefor no more valid than oral history and specifically regarding the Anasazi, no older than the 1920s. So older than a PS2 but considerably post dating Diné oral history.

Dineh is less than 700 years changed from Dene and Gwich'in - Athabaskan languages from the Yukon area. There is no evidence for Dineh in the SW before 1200 AD.

I wish it weren’t so, but wishes never changed the past so they aren’t much help.

[@Jeremy-eq4so]

Why are there no tribes in the east that speak the Athabascan dialects

[@DillonLee-k6u]

They jus ain’t us 🤷‍♂️😂

[@Michaelmas68]

Namisté 🙏 the school system is a joke and children are too smart not to see right through THIER boring BS. But without a source of truth to place their natural reverence for real authority/history/culture it makes things that much harder-- you’re teachings are just that, real!

[@CPellman]

At least they are not like the Navajo and other non natives who steal land. This guy needs to be taught the truth and respect.

[@Mad.DawGSavageClips]

I wonder...what do Native Americans think about black people saying they are the true natives. Some of them really believe they were in America 1st. I know alot of people belive Olmecs were black but I think they look like Pacific Islanders.

[@thespirituniversity3527]

I love this! It seems like the entire human collective is waking up to our actual truth and breaking through the lies of history we've been told.

[@skyjust828]

Is a tribe like the different Nations? Are the Lacota not Dene' like the A Nabey Ho (?) Im trying to learn 🥴

[@5pavitiyo]

The truth hurts we are the decendents of these people. Dine are recent arrivals from the North.

[@lilcricket4379]

Thank you still, Papa (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

[@debrapaulino918]

Thank you Elder Brown for uploading all of your valuable history knowledge wisdom❤

[@julietfischer5056]

People move around. A lot. Forward, backward, in this or that direction. They settle down, then the population grows too much or there's a disaster or plague or war, and some of them go elsewhere. Along the way, their languages and cultures change. Interpreting various legends can be tricky. Besides translation errors, the listeners (however conscientious they are) bring their own expectations and knowledge. The local legend says the people crossed a great expanse of water, and the listeners think of the ocean rather than the inland sea or large lake that's a much better---and closer--candidate. Or they're too literal in their understanding. And so on. We have only a fraction of the necessary information. So much was lost in the Americas, allowing fantasies of Atlantis, Mu, aliens, and whatnot to thrive, and for other mistakes concerning Native Americans. Archeology has finally revealed that the people here were every bit as capable of large-scale metropolises and agriculture as any group of Europeans---their traces were better-hidden by time and a later desire to see the Americas as untouched. (Don't smirk, fellow whites: there's a hell of a lot of European history that's still argued over.)

[@BitStClair]

Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. I've traveled to many places around the four corners area. You have been able to piece together many of the answers I have ask and could not get an answers for from park rangers. Why are we not speaking with the elders and saving this wealth of knowledge? I believe the di'ne will still be here after our civilization has pasted.

[@bonnieweeks7601]

My parents and I visited the Hopi at Second Mesa. They will take you on a tour which was very interesting. Our Hopi guide had a sense of humor and called the Navajos newcomers. He didn't mention the cliff dwellers.

[@darringreenstone8471]

Because they don't know, n were the slave keepers for the Anaszis

[@jacekpalka55]

why you hate them Anasazi ppl so much?

[@dbadagna]

The Navajo term Anaasází (literally "enemy ancestors" or "ancient enemy"), derives from the Navajo terms anaaʼí ("enemy") + bizází ("their ancestors").

[@stickman3938]

I am sure it has nothing to do with the oil at Chaco some of you Navajo want to drill for 😉...the reason why you have been hounding on this subject and telling lies and half truths about the Pueblo peoples.

[@stickman3938]

I stopped sharing your videos because you are spreading falsehoods and distorting the history. You also don't have the authority to speak for pueblo people.

[@gregcollins7602]

I love this channel. Great stuff. It would be amazing to hear the Navajo teachings about the destruction of Awatovi, the singing house.

[@allenschmitz9644]

It's not like they left brand name stones but their teenage kids left plenty of damage on all the local rocks with their pecking graffiti of their small minds.

[@GwPoKo]

I really love to hear Wally, but I'm confused though because from some of the Pueblo histories, they say that they have roots in the Anasazi and they are descendants

[@dbadagna]

The local oral histories of human groups are usually self-serving.

[@WilliamCollins-sh6lm]

Ocean travel !!! Where else could thousands of tons of copper go ??? Mined way back in BC .. From mines in N US S Canada... Sure wasn't the natives as very little Copper found !!!

[@mattwernecke2342]

What happened in areas with lots of broken pottery? I can't imagine native people's being careless with such items. Were these anazasi sites?

[@elsathal7359]

Thank you for sharing ✌️💞🤟

[@AnastasiaRomanov-w9x]

They don’t have to make a guess. They can do DNA testing to compare native Americans to the Mongolian, Manchu and Siberian tribes.

[@user-ud2ij7ro5c]

Thank you.

[@shanecorning5222]

OOooo, OK, so that is the migration path of Sasquatch yes. MANY spots to NOT make camp through there! Hahaahah. I would imagine those people saw the "Bigfoot", yes. OOOO!!!! So there is more than one "Cliff Dwellers"?

[@margaretneanover3385]

Thank you. That's why the possibility the Hoover dam was made . To find and research the revealed living places along the canyon. Some think it's natural disaster more than structure. The point is some was, but also formed by those occupying and trades . I truly believe even before blocking there was shipping route . That's my take toward the primitive view . It was even thought the pyramids were cut from some of the region. Most cannot figure out the technique.

[@bikinglikebecker]

While the Ashkenazi are not given enough... 8D

[@edwardgarcia614]

Thank you for sharing true history.

[@dravenwerkswanderer5169]

Thank you for keeping this history alive.

[@genoinjian7729]

We all spread out from the Tower of Babel & is why you have flood stories in ethnicities thru out the world & giants too

[@jeffgerndt2813]

I enjoy hearing the history from its source!❤

[@akumagouki8668]

They Koyaks in siberia came to north america then went bsck to Russia.

[@debrapaulino918]

Not in any way to diminish this national treasure of a man. There is another one from 1845-1934. Crow Chief of Montana named Plenty Coups. Not his Native name but as he was known by. He dictated his autobiography through a Native to the author who published it. Word for word his story. Spectacular view into ...

[@Rileysparadox]

You know whats funny.... They womt talk about the pyramids and Kemetian temples in the mountains...

[@phildah3363]

Thank you shii cheiii Until tomorrow, father has given us the blanket again,,,, Let's rest ... Good nyte

[@joehayward2631]

Im glad so long ago i started my research, so much the smart ppl say makes no sense. There is proof Egypt all middle east, Africa south America they were traveling and trading around the world. Glad your putting out truth

[@Ленад-е1ш]

Thanks. you my dear🌏 🙏❤❤❤God Bless you my dears🥰🥰Salvation only in Christ Jesus💞

[@draven3838]

I've always said none of us American native peoples came across the land bridge.

[@niamtxiv]

No, y'all are. Siberian Yupik and Alaskan Yupik. There you go.

[@Vladviking]

Some anthropologists were saying they have evidence of cannibalism etc. among the Anasazi ruins. Of course, this was not approved and was bad mouthed by the Status quo. Your Oral history on several videos I've watched seems to lend some credence to that theory.

[@paulsalinas2545]

They had to run and hide. We are still here. I am here. We are still here. A new blended nation. ;

[@mattwernecke2342]

Why were they living in cliffs?

[@garretgibson9897]

The cliffs were a defensive place to live. High up off the ground and hard to see if your not looking. It was to protect themselves against attacks from other people's

[@DreamcastQ]

Thank you elder, I agree
