@@tk1950 I am back to listen to his voice and thank you for replying:) I just realized at 6:19 my left arm makes a brief appearance haha. Thank you so much again!, deedge:)

Thats so interesting. You are very blessed indeed. May you continue with legacy and teaching those who are following behind us.

I was surprised that this video just popped up. I am happy and sad. I met your grandfather many years ago when I was teaching and attended a week long training for educators at Vail, Colorado. There were about 300 people and 10 or so native teachers there. The sessions were very powerful and brought out many experiences from our colleagues . I found Alex to be so humble and kind.. and obviously very talented. I was honored to have gotten to know him a little. I visited the church at Zuni! How beautiful. I hope the Zuni People appreciate it.

Thank you Laura. Have a wonder filled day.

Thank you. This video is free to be shared. So spread the good word.

Me too

This culture is not even close to being lost we thrive. We teach we nurture our traditions an heritage. Culture an language. Ways an prayer. We live to sustain an teach the younger generation.

We are not almost lost. We Are Still Here and this man taught me personally. He was and is my grandfather. My mother's father. I am here to tell you my Zuni People are alive and well

Debra, thank you for your comment. I agree. However, at this junction, so very many years later, to edit this video and return it to its original location for the Zuni Pueblo School System to use it officially, would require great skills in editing that may or may not bring the placement back to its proper location.

Sandra. Thank you for your comment. I am not familiar with the painting you describe. It certainly sounds quite fascinating. I will ask his daughter if she might know of it and I will get back to you about that. Sam Lovato Senior of Kewa Pueblo once told me of a Pueblo belief that Jesus came to visit the Pueblos prior to being in the Middle East and that he was a Being of Light and taught people to always allow strangers to come into their homes and to feed them.

Sandra. His daughter sent me a copy of that painting that you referenced, It is Jesus floating on a cloud above the Pueblo. She has asked me not to make this painting public. If you want to see a copy of it and promise to keep it only for personal and sacred purposes, then i can email it to you. Here is my email: 89vanman@gmail.com

What's your real name . T.k.

tobias katz, the person who made this film.
