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:-)
Hi david, what are your grandparents last name if you don’t mind me asking? My great grandparents made the same journey and I’m trying to track down their roots
I was born in Buffalo I'm 45 my pops is 74 and is full papago his mother was 40 and his father 60 when they had him in AZ both passed few years later from TB he ws brought up in foster care 💔 in Los Angeles there's not a day that don't go buy that I don't feel my ancestors spirits coursing threw my vains my ancestral DNA keeps me longing for something.....I'm a broken native walking threw my conquered streets.
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
Can someone kindly translate my grandpas name "Bernardino" to the language that the tribe speaks. And the last name as well..Jaimez. Greatly appreciated.

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.
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
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
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.
I bet your a Gabacho for saying that.... And you wonder why Black people are so pissed @ the white man... & dont bother reply back----- YOU Just dont get it
