The Big Rock Site, Part 5 of 5, Monterey County, California 

Whoo, keep the videos coming, go Alex !

As usual Alex, a very excellent site report of the village area!

As a long time resident of Calif Central Coast, I truly appreciate your videos.. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your time and a lot of work to share this with us ALL stay safe! A time with more water the creeks flowed to rivers that flow to the sea. Rivers are highways for trade. Man, never gets too far from water

Love these videos. Hopefully you can do one around the Placer county area some day! Especially interested to learn more about the Nisenan tribe area. Keep up the good work 👍.

Awesome video Alex! Thank you for teaching me the history of our native brothers, and showing me the beauty of the area.♥️💯👍👏👏👏🖐

I grew up in Northern CA. There was a place we used to go swimming on the Consumes River. I remember my Aunt showing me the grinding stones along the river. I would love to some day go back and check it out as an adult!

Loved this, thank you.

Nice music accompanying your journey. ‘Red-tailed hawk feathers I believe. I’ve watched many of your videos Alex and it’s always nice to see new ones. I’ve been gathering larger acorns this fall so that I can make food to share from them. The acorn cookbook you featured piqued my curiosity. I’m going to search it out.

I love when one of your videos show up... presented much like what i experienced when i was a kid there.. yeah, not milpitas but on the monterey peninsula coastline and carmel valley. I spent my first 18 years mainly outside lol so this is just so wonderful to get to be there again. Thank you. And i love the original names of the places, too.

Thanks for this; as we've been waiting...

My father grew up in the Milpitas hills and would show us the sites. Later the little Spokane river, so very cool to see the signs of past forgotten people. We are but just visiting here, Jesus will bring us all back together.

Alex, if you're ever down in the Orange County area it would be an honor to take you around some sites here. I'm a college student and an ethnobotany hobbyist.

Great stuff

Thank-you Alex

Thank you so much for sharing the history and beauty of this very special site. I really miss visiting this heaven on earth. I have trued twice, but heartbreakingly the access is closed.

Interesting ancient site, Alex! thanks.

Thanks a lot.

I recently became aware of the "Sage Wall, megalithic structure" in Montana. I would love to hear your take on that.

Great Horned Owl feathers

I am Esselen and am from the Monterey area. I have done cultural monitoring jobs and archaeological surveying before to ensure that nothing is disturbed. Midden sites aren’t always just garbage cans, they can be burial sites as well. I appreciate your passion for our culture but please do not touch the midden sites, step on the mortars, or take any artifacts you find, leave everything as is. I would suggest bringing an offering of tobacco to the land you go to. I’m grateful for your content and I feel represented while also being educated, and I appreciate your passion for the land very much. But do not take anything with you, and bring an offering of tobacco if you want to do it respectfully. Thank you

Thanks for sharing appreciate it so much. and we also must be the Protectors of the land from developers! and polluters! and governments!who allow an ongoing exploitation for the Mighty Dollar$. an example is wild ginseng is endangered in many places even gone now, from the landscape. it was in great abundance but it's hunted because it's a valuable herb! but the government will give a license if you pay to hunt the last one to extinction!college degree APROVED$$

Awesome. Finding the grinding holes is always cool. :)

now that was a feather in your cap 🪶🪶🪶

I wonder how far inland the seafood trade went, because goiter becomes a problem in land locked populations. Also, what were the trade routes and are they paved roads now?

So this area is re-opened to the public now or did you get a special pass?

Red tailed hawk feathers?

In regards to the native site located in idaho.. these small ponds are connected by a canal linking them together. See the rabbit, the corn the shapes ponds are in the shape of a cross. Very interesting. who claims this area and what do the people's of this area know?

Thank you so much.. id like to share with all, something that was shown to me and I find no documentation on it. 43 15' 43"N. 115 00'34W

I wonder if he’s familiar with the megalithic structures the Sage Wall In Montana and Saskhatuan? I have a feeling some of these sites hes visited are destroyed megalithic structures. War of the Gods myth ruins, jk.

no audio, sadly

I seen a lot of holes like that in rocks at three Rivers, California right behind the lazy j ranch hotel
