thank you for amplifying indigenous voices and carrying a space that makes this history and oral tradition accessible. I hold great reverence for the many peoples who live on this land. Whose history is woven into its living fabric.
Aiyuk, I just saw this today - but a lot of the Paiute people in this video have passed on. It's sad because they held so much knowledge and my heart hurt to hear them again. But, what they speak is the truth. Their teachings will never leave me, I will to try and pass this onto my family as well. Because we are Paiute and We Are Still here.
This touches my heart...i only wish i had this heirage. i may not be fully blood Native American..but my Soul feels i am! My repsect for Our Mother is immense
My fourth great grandfather was the white settler who “discovered” Bryce Canyon and named it after himself. It really sucks that the canyon is still named that, and I hope they change it to something Native American eventually.
Honey, he just came upon it - something that was always there and was inhabited already. He just gave it a caucasian name. But, that's ok. you can share that story amongst your family as well. Like they said in the clip, the Paiutes called it "OohDoo" because those figures were like big Giant people set into stone. and oohDoo is a Paiute expression such as like: OOoo Scary. So the settlers called them "HooDoos"
@@selenabenson5887 Don’t you “honey” me. I said that he didn’t really discover it in the first place (hence the quotes around “discovered”) and that it doesn’t deserve to be named after him. That was literally the entire point of my comment. You’re being extremely patronizing for no reason.
@@thalia3057 hahaha Oh my, sorry to step on your toes. I was merely generating facts and yes you did bring to the table that it was named after your relative, I'm sure it was the Bryce part you are talking about. I was talking about the rocks "Hoo Doos" - Thanks for your rapid reply though.
we need to restore the native names of all these places now! naming it after a random "settler" is nonsense and arbitrary. we need to restore the native names. that is where the history is and where the deeper meaning is located! why is everything named after some lost settler or some biblical misinterpretation? #restorenativenames
