A Navajo man saved my life in 1978. I was in Farmington NM and got an artery cut. This man had compassion on a 17 year old white girl 1800 miles from home. He drove me to the hospital and saved my arm and my life. I have prayed for blessings on this man and his family for almost 50 years. I will until my last breath. Thank you

I don't think it was the Anasazi, but the Aztecs. The Aztecs were hunting people down for human sacrifice. That's why the Anasazi, Hopi, and Pueblo people fled into the canyons and made cliff dwellings, all to hide from the Aztecs who were hunting them down like animals for human sacrifice.

I have been enjoying the Anasazi stories. It answers so many questions about their structures and disappearance.

@ScottJB 11 месяцев назад

Some stories may have been created after the fact to explain their disappearance. No disrespect to the Diné or this wonderful man, but there are many communities in the Southwest who claim direct descent from the Anasazi (and don't like the Diné word "Anasazi"). And Occam's Razor suggests they're right. The Anasazi would have simply migrated, maybe due to war or climate change, and continued to build pueblos like the groups further South do today. This is not my idea, it's what these other Native groups claim.

The Aztecs arrived in Mexico in the 13th Century after migrating from somewhere further north - I wonder if the events are linked? Some details about many cultural practices of the Anasazi being distasteful and offensive to the Diné make me wonder if the Aztecs and Anasazi are connected in some way? As well as practicing slavery, did the Anasazi practice human sacrifice, for example?

@larmiisoren2568 10 месяцев назад

Straight up I believe it came to that. This is why the site was designated and the story boards created, so they could cover it up and control the narrative against Latinos today who keep saying oh the land was theirs... The furthest north the empire stretched at its peak expansion conquest was just beyond to Aztec, NM. There is evidence that supports the claims that people were butchered and consumed there in Chaco. Also "ancient Mexica prepared the pozole with meat of the captives sacrificed in some festivals, mainly dedicated to [their] Lord the Flayed, Xipe Totec". The Dine would never agree with such festival, let alone the practice of slavery. Thankfully the people who claim ancestry to them now prepare it with chicken or pork. Yup astonishing, and I bet you won't likely hear them tell you this. The pueblo were divided by that meso-american influence. All cultures influence each other and frankly modern land disputes are ridiculous, humans belong to/upon the Earth, we can't own it, it is not something to be owned, for it would then be enslavement. We used the concept of slavery against itself to attain the captives out from these monstrous practices of the time and beyond.

Your story is my own with one exception. My parents' families emigrated from Poland. When Busia, my maternal grandmother, passed on, the extended family stopped gathering (with the exception of weddings, which are seldom celebrated anymore) and, when my older sisters passed, the more immediate family stopped gathering. I've tried to bring them together and I try to share our traditions and the wisdom behind them but I've about given up. I would like to say that I'm glad I'm not alone with these feelings -- but I'm not. 😢 I'm very sorry for all of humanity's losses.

@@leidersammlung6955 Im not asking about what you think about Apaches in present time. Im asking about the history between the Navajo and Apache from Navajo traditional teachings. I'm sure the Apache people have their own opinions and traditional teachings as well. Remember the winner of the war gets to tell his story first. But the truth is found only by both or multiple sides mixed together. We all have a bias for our own. I respect that but understand what it is. The Apaches fought long and hard against 3 Empires (Spain, Mexico, USA), multiple enemy tribes, thousands of bounty hunters (scalps)and finally hunted down by other Apaches and US Army. Remember they had to do this with women and children near or in battle and being pursued. When your being attacked and driven from your lands and the enemies scalp your women, children and babies.. I might find many ways to torcher those enemies as well. I'm not gonna judge the many tribes who fought back viciously against their enemies. Something in their history probably made them that way. The U.S. Army, Mexico and the Spanish Empire sure wasn't innocent of war crimes. Considering some tribes, bands and clans don't exist anymore to tell their side of the story.

Thank you, I found that very interesting. The symbol for A Na Bay Ho as the clockwise spiral and the reason really hit home for me. The circles of various kinds are spread throughout the Southwest by many native peoples. I've seen the symbol in many pictographs and it makes me wonder about some of the other symbols in the pictographs. Can they be interpreted or perhaps the representations were more familiar then and not anymore? Knowledge lost sort of thing. I wish archaeologists would listen to this version of the Anasazi because it seems absolutely more likely than an extended drought which forced them disseminate into the Pueblo people, which I think is the popularly held view among the "learned". Particularly when other native peoples continued to exist at the same time.

That - To walk in Light and Beauty has always spoken to my heart - I am of Native origin from Louisiana, but unable to research these roots because Fr. Hebert tried to protect people. My husband I made a trip to the village of the Cliff Dwellers and I meditated in a tent set up there. We both felt a presence with us on the way home through Oklahoma. We had met dear people from Colorado in Sturgis, S. Dakota and I bought an earring and necklace bandanna set with silver-like conches that I was wearing as chest protection from the sun. Across Oklahoma I continually wore this set in remembrance of this couple that had later had a motorcycle accident with an elk. As we came through a tunnel and onto a bridge, my bandanna necklace came loose and I willingly detached from it. Later that evening I got a very loving feel that someone was especially pleased with finding this ethereal gift. This was very dear to my heart as a Native connection of Family. This website speaks to my heart, Thank You Dear One.

Thank you for sharing your wealth of ancient knowledge with all of humanity. While my parents were born in the US 100 yrs. ago, their parents emigrated from Poland. We were taught, and my family practiced, Polish traditions. Now in my 60s, I thirst for more of that knowledge and would like to share what I know with younger generations of the family but it's hard to pull them away from their phones and social media. It's even difficult to catch them for voice-to-voice communication and so much is lost in text messaging. I'm not surprised but I am sorry to hear that you've experienced much of the same with your younger generations, particularly because there's so much ancient wisdom still available to back up your Dene traditions. This Polish "girl," now in her 60s, still thirsts for this type of knowledge and is humbled to accept it. Thank you!

@Stogdad1 Год назад

Are there stories among the Dine about how precisely the Anasazi people destroyed themselves? And besides operating a slave system, why were the Anasazi regarded as evil, and what acts of black magic did they conduct? I find your talking about this subject -- and Dine culture in general -- to be fully captivating and very worthwhile. Thank you for this channel.

I hope these accounts are also being recorded in the event the digital record becomes inaccessible.

The background of the Na Bay Ho symbol is very interesting, very logical.

Thank you for sharing the traditional wisdom and stories! I visited Chaco Canyon and climbed Fajada Butte way back in the 1970's, before it was closed to the public, and saw pictographs on the cliff with this spiral. We were told a much different story, about the "peaceful Anasazi" and also about the Navajo people; discouraged from ever hearing and learning from your ancient stories and memories. I can't thank you enough for dispelling the distortions, which were the exact opposite from your oral history. I have remained interested and fascinated by the Chaco Canyon region for 50 years and at one point discovered that early archeologists in the 1800's reported evidence of cannibalism in that region and that the "Establishment" of Archeological Studies quashed this information because it countered their "controlled narrative" of the Anasazi people being peaceful. In the years since my visit to Chaco Canyon much money and focus has been spent on research there. Technological advancements have revealed massive road structures connecting many many communities covering a vast area of land. I would be very interested to learn more about the real story of what happened. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom so generously.

@julietfischer5056 Год назад

It can be easy to mistake lack of recognizable castles and other fortifications for lack of warfare. Most Native American peoples did not make war the way the European invaders did---army vs army until one side died or surrendered---or for the same reasons. The cliff dwellings were made by people who fought with their neighbors. Those narrow and difficult paths were meant to deter enemies, even if it meant the defenders had trouble getting supplies during a seige.

@DulceLaAlma Год назад

@@julietfischer5056 thank you for adding perspective! It's an easy mistake to make, looking at history (and even present times) through the narrow portal of one's own personal and cultural experience. So much of the history we are taught is limited in this manner.🙏

@julietfischer5056 Год назад

@@DulceLaAlma- The Native American population of what is now the United States had been in the hundreds of millions before the invasion that Columbus kicked off. If I remember correctly, it had dropped to a quarter million by the beginning of the 20th Century. Between the death toll and the deliberate attempts to destroy the many Native cultures, information vanished. Genetic information, cultural lore, and artifacts are gone, and the remainder give us so many hints of the interconnections between the many peoples that school history classes treat as self-contained.
