“We don’t own the land, we belong to it”. What an important and world changing idea, if only every human on earth could feel that same love and connection to the earth. I feel as if once you loose your connection and spiritually with Mother Earth, you loose your feeling of purpose and you feel as if you’re separate/different from every other living thing.
I am so happy for the Pueblo Nations. I hate that they went through so much suffering and struggles that it seemed pointless and hopeless for them, but it was not. I believe that you are the victors to have endured what you experienced and still be proud of your culture and history today. You are a strong and a beautiful people.
It was always such a special offering to my "History of New Mexico" course at Santa Fe Community College (2004-2009) to take two class sessions to present this excellent documentary. Usually there were a few students who came from nearby pueblos, such as Tesuque and Santa Clara, who provided their own oral traditions in describing events affecting their ancestors' lives: the arrival of Europeans, the Pueblo Revolt, and the influence of the Catholic Church in their various observations were some of those. The addition of these Pueblo histories told by people who lived the distinct lifestyle of this native group enriched the story told in "Surviving Columbus".
You should be put in prison for sedition and fraud. You present divisive anti European/American propaganda as educational material and they pay for it?!! Wow.
@@michaellendel1958 how is this Trotskyism? And I mean how is it leftist fascism if were trying to take our stories back and ways of life. It's not going to lead to any military-industrial complex, just a better way of living for the people already there.
It’s amazing how much of your history resembles our history and just to think ; the common denominator was the white man and religion 😪 Im learning about my history as an African American. And there is no American history without native indigenous history . I have learned so much from this video and I plan to continue to seek the truth . The truth will set us free. 🤙🏾
@@citizenY hey I agree with you, no playing musical chairs here. Capitalism is the direct result of colonization, being one of the subjects that we all have to be prevail
We can only imagine the ruthlessness and viciousness that the first nation people suffered back then… keep ancestors in your memory and hearts and keep language an traditions alive…
Study the real history of the Indians before European arrival and you will understand how much the dominant tribes viciously brutalized other tribes, including eating them. The arrival of the Europeans was a blessing for many of the tribes that were so horribly oppressed the other tribes.
@@AmericanMadeAdventures Good point, however, it was more of an “equal” fight, and such dominant tribes typically respected the lifestyle and boundaries of rival tribes, in exchange of some sort of taxation system… With colonization, all tribes succumbed to perhaps similar mistreatment as te one experienced by their equals, but now against an enemy that had firearms, horses, disease, aside from the eviction that all tribes suffered.
But what people don't talk about, is that the Native Americans were not all spiritual, Kind people. Some tribes in Texas were cannibals, and the Native Americans were warring with each other. The whole Human race must evolve spiritually and become who we are meant to be.
Almost 30 years ago. That explains why it's got dated terms. Like calling individuals 'blk or 'indian' to imply differences between those who are not 'indigenous'. The Spanish called melanated Aboriginal peoples "negros de tierra"; 'blks' of *this* land - as opposed to negros de Angola, Ghana etc. And the British still call people from India 'blk' (in addition to that "n" word). The Eastern Woodland tribes looked just like Ethiopians, according to Spanish accounts, and as a Cherokee and Mattaponi descended person, I can vouch for that. My Ramapo tribe relatives are always assumed to be 'African American' and are treated as such by police in NJ. Just because someone looks so called 'blk' does not mean they are from Africa (at least not within the last hundred or so generations...). And forced servitude did not end for *any* formerly indentured melanated peoples after the Civil War. It continued to take place well into the 1960's!!! _______

Highly Intelligent people creating a philosophical structure to deal with realty...Sounds beautiful ...Truth is,only Coping mechanisms to endure nature's cruelties..Just as Christianity dose..
Unfortunately, the Natives were in possession of Gold, silver, land and a very large population of cheap labor.... The Gold and silver ended up in the cathedrals as pretty decor that embellished the European sculpture and art work....All of it soaked in blood. 💔
@Anthuvan Aaseevagar native blood of north and south America is of north and south America there is no pre-Columbian DNA relation to India at all. and from former comments you seem ill willed towards Jewish people and as you call moors, and it seems you're trying to hi-jack the atrocities that actually happened to the indigenous people in the Americas for your own agenda unless you have been totally misinformed.🤔
My great grandfather, Pablo Abeita, appears at about 1:30:10 in the film under the discussion of loss and recovery of Pueblo lands. If you'd like to see more of Pablo Abeita you can go here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x2Ori2vX_VE.html
This video is really awesome, and informative ,,, I really love it, However why do you play the background music so loud ? It covers up the narrator, have you ever actually listened to one of your own broadcast ? it's a shame that you take away from such a beautiful presentation!
And we think Hitler was evil? He looks like an angel compared to what Catholicism, "exploration", missionaries and the United States government have done to these Native American Peoples. I am so sorry this was allowed to happen.
@@marthamontes6005 my feelings exactly!! How do people NOT research their religion? I researched EVERY religion, and decided that religion in general is man-made, although buddhism seems close to the truth. The truth is in our earth and true spirituality, not reciting verses and prayers when they never teach you where they are from or what they mean. I have no religion, I just do and say what I dang well know is right and true - harming no one or no thing, be kind and loving, give to anyone in need, be selfless. Karma is true. Why take marital advice from a priest who has never been married? Lol, screwy rules means "cult" and "stay away"!
@@vernarodriguez2347 we should obey the law of the land, but the law is getting out of hand. What eventually happens to a bad government? There is power in numbers, power in knowledge, power in kindness.
Everyone will know the ultimate truth when the Indian people are shown to be the chosen few . They are the true meek at heart , and they shall inherit their earth ( again ) . She will be returned to the ones who respected her. Mother Earth.
Isaiah 14:1-2 KJV For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
I grew up near the “Sherman Institute “+ made friends w rez “students” ducking the BIA goons joining the circle of teenage local white kids passing a smoking joint around. They always laughed when I tried to repeat a word in their native language they were forbidden to speak and this longhaired hippy kid always made sure the green $10 baggie was filled up to the top. My new friends knew where I hung out. Today it’s now an Indian trade high school that’s voluntary and I look foreword to the pow wow each spring as there’s many both on and off the rez. There’s still elders teaching a few young people the traditional living and keeping the spiritual pathways alive😎
AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL NATIVE AMERICANS & AMERICANS I am a white American with pure English blood line with name Craft and I am not proud of the past and my family did not participate in the extension of the Native Americans and I do not like what I see for the future. I pledge to you I will spend my time and energy to teach the American people that until the country as a hole Pay the native Americas back with Land and money this country can not progress any further. Did you know that in the 1960 when the Cuban's came to Florida the government payed them $800.00 mo. for every man, woman, child, child, child, grama. granpa, aunt and uncle.in the house hold. this is back when you could buy Volkswagen bug for $3.000. They bought cars, homes, and businesses they built little Havana in Miami and they are very wealthy Americans now and you never hear about them being poor and run down. Time to give you what your due Land & Money A CALL TO ALL AMERICANS MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR COUNTRY SOLE. AS A COUNTRY WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BEGENNING AND CORRECT OUR FORFATHERS FIRST MISTAKE. UNTILL WE CORRECT THIS THERE IS NO WAY THIS COUNTRY CAN MOVE FORWARD IN AN HONORABLE WAY. If you Think about it logically We are The guest of the Native American People. MR.CRAFT
Language is the first thing they make sure you forget and therefore your culture. Bainwashing with religious DOGMA is next. I left religion. Spirituality is the only way for me.
I hope my crypto Sephardi Jewish farming ancestors were respectful to the the First Nation People. They were in the first expedition from Mexico City at beginning of the 1600’s. They came to be in north east corner of New Mexico.
@Anthuvan Aaseevagar indigenous Americans are not related to the people of India genetically they are related to ancient northwest Eurasian and northeastern Asian people. although all people of the earth are related from beginning of people. remember Columbus the idiot genocidal greedy psychopath called the indigenous Arawak and Taino people of this country ( Indians) because that idiot Columbus thought that he landed on the shores of India. and then everybody from different countries stormed this country for whatever reasons they had in the 1600s. like those days in the 1980s cabbage patch doll trampling's in department stores. When they got what they wanted they left chaos and waste behind them. but not all people from different places were or are like that . its always the case of the one bad apple spoils the barrel.
I can't believe you still celebrate catholic practices and would be a great shame, and terrible times.the only way for mankind to survive is is to adopt the indigenous peoples ancient ways. Because mother earth will be fine without us humans. I just hope that the new world that emerges, is one of peace and love. With the memories of violence and war, stripped out of all people's minds forever and ever. Kerry Grant luvs mother earth and not pludoctats fracking narssistic psyopathic autocrats.
Seditious, divisive propaganda packaged as "educational material". Look at the comments that say they force students to watch this bullshit in schools. No wonder so many of these gullible fools have such a warped perspective.
Chaco predated Navajo. It’s a satellite depot of the aztec. Meeting place. They went as far as Washington. By the time Athabaskan’s came in there wasnt much left. Brick layers came from Atlantis or moi. It’s evident. I’m of Athabaskan and Aztecs decent and a stone mason. The rocks will tell you the true story. Read between the sedimentary lines.
This should be on a station everyone can get and made to watch . Too much is hidden , and why does any one person Ever think they have the right to (Own ) another human being . So much wrong in a world who thinks they're right ....
@@Master...deBater Imagine believing the way so many of these gullible fools do. lol. Right on Master. They cling so hard to their anti American, anti white bullshit perspective, it's impossible for them to learn the truth.
I believe genocide is as much a part of human history as is evolution itself. For better or worse, death begets life. If we ever reach a place where death can be accepted with kindness we will have found paradise or....!
Thank you so much for this very wonderful and informative video! To the young Taos Indian woman, and this is from a person who has Indigenous Indians in her lineage as far back as the early 18th century: I, who am nothing, would better believe you if your name was (changed) to reflect your Native American roots. I saw repeatedly “American” names, so why not change the name/s? To the older woman (Mary) talking about the Protestant person coming to the door with a music box, no, Mary, you who are Indian, and possibly Catholic DOES NOT MAKE YOU KNOW, OR UNDERSTAND GOD better. Your statement actually was un-christened.
The way the government treated the native people’s is the biggest reason I have such contempt for it. I hope that those who were involved with the murders of a race of people will have to answer to GOD for such treacherous acts.
remember if it wasn't for the few good people in government there would be no native people left probably. remember movie Schindler's list? Not all people can stand for genocide whether they are in an evil regime or not Paul from bible murdered people but when he saw the light, he helped those, he persecuted previously no excuse for former action all must be held accountable for their actions but do not persecute the innocent change system of thought or ways that hurt people.by the way those people will or did have to answer to god for their actions and from what I perceive it's not going to be good for them . people need to grow up and respect each other.
Think to yourself and ask why every other country hates america? The Native Americans, The Africans, The Palestinians, The Vietnamese, The koreans, the japanese, we all remember your atrocities and all the indigenous people around the world know that america is going to fall soon, Fear God, your fate as white americans has been sealed through the blood of our people. Fear God.@AmericanMadeAdventures
I have the utmost reverence and respect for all the native nations in this country but there are a few problems in this outdated video. There were no peaceful nations on this continent... The archeology of the southwest including Chaco canyon is full of destruction phases and even cannibalism. Let's study history but let's not mold it into what we want it to have been. War with the neighbors was just a fact of life.
So basically you’re saying your grandma says you were spiders who came out of the ground and evolved into humans? These stories are one sided told poetically by old women. Catholicism is not Christianity
This film should have been titled..."Surviving Montezuma"!!! Thank God for Hernan Cortes who put an end to the diabolical human sacrifice of the Aztec demon priests!!!
Even before Christ was born? Our Lord said, 'before Abraham was, I am'. Christ is God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity who came to earth to teach us Truth. The native Americans, and they were not created in North America, but all came here from somewhere else, were living in pagan ignorance. My ancestors are Navajo. I am grateful to the Catholic misisonaries who came to bring God's Truth to my ancestors. I thank God for them and their sacrifices. If some Native Americans now wish to return to and glorify their pagan beliefs, if they would rather tell themselves that their world came from two spider sisters living under the ground, I find that a tragic rejection of God and His Truth. The consequences of rejecting God and His Truth are eternal.
Well let's see you could drink from any river and they kept everything real and alive...now everything is dying because of the pollution their ways not that of the Native Americans and we will all die too thanks to it because the earth has to be purified from the mess they've made by creating another Sodom and Gomorrah...not sure what people don't get this...they were wrong coming here!
at least there are people trying to rectify actions of their ancestors and not the other way around it took time for people from past to loot and destroy and it will take time for people to heal and build up again it is inevitable.
