History isn't always beautiful but it is always a foundation to learn from. Good or Bad, Heroic or Tragic.

[@lizalcaraz9403]

Thank you for sharing this historical story. I love the beautiful background music, your voice is so soothing.

[@johndavionjr5167]

Wow. Your voice is so soothing.

[@johndavionjr5167]

First of all, it's not historical. This injustice continues to this day. Get Woke, please.

[@lavernemccabe1754]

Dont get me started 😡 my great great Grandparents died for NO REASON!!! Don't try to sugarcoat this like I said don't get me started. This is not a good story!

[@davidtrujillo7846]

That’s Right My Brother!!!!

[@mariah477]

Not was a tragedy, but a genocide of Dineh people! It's very important that future generation never forget this sad history: the massacre of Navajo tribes.

[@mikeFolco]

I feel the word genocide deserves to be used here. No place for hypocrisy disguised as political correctness.

[@hollyholyan4254]

Thank you for sharing such a story. May the Lord continue to guide us, and heal from our ancestors horrific experiences.

[@wilbertjohnson167]

I will carry on this to my grave

[@paranoid5881]

It was a genocide against the Diné. But they failed.

[@nikkostrato]

Sad story, but great documentation. What's the name of that mountain you show at about 1'50" and again towards the end of the video?

[@bufflingofficial]

The pointy mountain is called Ship Rock located in Ship Rock New Mexico

[@g.g.2305]

It's better to it from the actual people. The people Dineh are still alive and well.

What history doesn't know....about only a little half of Navajo population went on the long walk....like my decent never went and others too

[@Someonelse1224]

Their population was around 10,000 and the amount of people who were forced to walk was around 8,000 the people who died was around 3,500.

[@bribelucci1788]

We are Dine’…"Navajo" is a Spanish adaptation of the Tewa Pueblo word 🤨

[@davidtrujillo7846]

Yes we are Dine’!

[@JohnChristenNizzaDiCorsi]

Yes. It's also a Spanish adaptation of an Anasazi word referring to the Diné belief in Spirit residing in the back portion of one's skull. Anabeho becomes Navaho in Spanish.

[@joechavez5356]

U pilgrim s are no good We live

[@jenniferschmitzkatze1244]

Oh yeah, don't forget the smallpox infested blankets that were given to the indigenous people 😠😡

[@ammebee16]

[@davidtrujillo7846]

I guess they deleted my reply!

[@annayahaugustin591]

@@nyk222 bro what are you on about?

[@spockblocked6718]

Now, let's be sensitive... we all care... Virture signaling from a payoff with using the victim status.... You gotta be proud: "The Yavapais "Apache" had taken the sisters, very much alive, to their village about 60 miles away, along with selected prizes from the Oatmans’ wagon. Tied with ropes, the girls had been made to walk for several days through the desert, which triggered serious dehydration and weakened them in general. When they asked for water or rest, they were poked with lances and forced to keep walking. Once they reached the Yavapai village, the girls were treated as slaves, made to forage for food and firewood. The tribe’s children would burn them with smoldering sticks while they worked, and they were beaten often. The girls, Olive later said, were sure they’d be killed. She was approximately 10 years old. "Authorities at Fort Yuma had heard rumors about a young white woman living with the Mohaves, and the post commander was asking them to either return her or explain why she would choose not to return. The Mohaves first responded by refusing to respond, then sequestering Olive for safekeeping." ".. Olive never seemed to have found happiness, though, battling depression and chronic headaches for decades to come. On the rare occasion she left her home, she’d attempt to cover her blue tattoo with makeup or veils. "
