  • It was windy that day. But we did our best and hiked around the Hovenweep structures.
    The signs put up by the Park Service say "We May Never Know".
    When Navajo Historian Wally Brown saw the sign he said, "Because you never ask the Navajo People".
    In this video Learn about Hovenweep and what it was for our Navajo People.

    Thank You Sir Pilomiya,
    I am a third generation Irish Czech immigrant, blessed through recovery to be accepted into the Lakota Spiritual path. Through my lessons from elders I learned to leave behind the teachings of white writers and so called historians. My only faith in historical knowledge comes from elders and Native Peoples; Crow, Lakota, Navajo and Cherokee. These are the people that so willingly give me the correct knowledge and history as well as the tools of Mother Earth to survive, thrive and be one with this world.
    I did not begin my journey by only going to lodge to pray. I was made to study and learn for myself what is truth and of value. I greatly appreciate your teachings and look forward to more as I watch again and study. Thank You
    You are in my prayers
    Hoka Hey

      I've seen the planting of corn as well as squash in certain areas around Sedona, AZ. not crop, but symbolic as only a few plants at a time are put in an area. I felt that it was reclaiming the land for the native people and this was the symbol. The jingle dress movement on RUclips also reclaims and heals the land. That is why I thought of that.

    My Native American name would be “Hater of Waste”. This comes from my disgust of anything of value that is lost or wasted. The tragedy of what happened to the Tribes after the Spaniards came is profoundly sad. I hate what happened but accept that these events in history cannot be changed now. This channel is helping to salvage value in a digital format that cannot be lost. In this time of confusion, I greatly value traditional Navaho simplicity, honesty, and purity. The native people of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah keep and maintain their traditional lands and ways. Very beneficial. Above all of us, they belong here in their place. Let us let them be forever.

    Dear Wally, I always sit up straight and come to attention when I watch your videos. Thank you for speaking to us of the things you were told, thank you for remembering the Rock Rose and her many bounties to us...I wept as I smelt the vast fragrance of those times when her presence was dense upon the land, and marvelled at the ancestors who had the patience, knowledge, skill and the grace to process her bark and still allow her to thrive. I love to hear about the many elegant ways our ancestors met their basic needs without devastating the natural world to do so. And their ability to do that marked them as savages in my cultural (UK), media fuelled upbringing...movies and school taught us that people who didn't ravage the land in order to gain more possessions to hoard, and more luxuries to indulge their every whim, were primitive and doomed to failure in the law of the jungle/survival of the fittest doctrine we were endlessly presented. My ancestors suffered this insult and the violence of greed some time before yours (in this recent time cycle), however the spark of their spirit lives on in us and has been fuelled by the generous sharing of wisdom by other nations whose lineage is more intact. Thank you for sharing your fuel with us, thank you for helping us fan the flames of our desire to live a good life here on our beautiful flowering earth in harmony, respect, dignity and brotherhood; thank you Wally for inspiring me to jump up and live. Blessings and gratitude to all of our true elders and wisdom keepers, and to everyone involved in this channel. And to everyone and all, have a good life xxxx

      Yes many of us are here because our ancestors want us to keep fighting for the Beauty of our Earth and a way for human beings to live that is not based on wealth, greed, rascism, and arrogance. The Indigenous peoples of the world have so much to teach us about living on the land with all our relatives in a Good and healthy way. It is only in the last 300-400 years that we face the dangers of climate change because of all the cars, planes and industrial toxins brought about by imbalanced thinking.

    Thank you, Wally - Chief. I appreciate your deep knowledge of your people. I was raised on a ranch out of Boulder, CO. - Eldorado Springs Canyon. My family owned the first flat land out of the Canyon. I trained a calf to ride in the Meadow. When I did this I started discovering flint, obsidian, Jasper, and other bits of stone fashioned into arrowheads, scrapers, knives, etc. I was told by a neighbor that the Meadow was the old grounds for Native Americans to camp. It had a creek, natural springs, and Spring Artisan waters. I treasure my artifacts that I found as a young child. I know many of the native plants, Choke Cherry, Wild Plum, Wild Grape, Organ Grape, & Wild Rose. The Herbs - Yarrow, Mullein, Sage, Mints, Buck Brush, etc. Flowers - Lupine, Blue Bells, Spring Beauties, Cactus, etc. Do you have any knowledge of the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado?

    Wally, deep respect and many thanks. I am half Coahuiltecan (my mother - northeastern Mexico) and half European (my father - Germany). Both my parents abandoned their cultural roots in order to become "American." While this helped me and my siblings become successful in the modern American sense of that word, it left a gaping hole in my sense of connection to the earth and to my heart. I was rootless and spiritually adrift for a long time. It's been a long path for me to learn about my heart and how to live. I've been able to find my way using gems I find along the way. Your teachings are among those gems that have helped me to fill those gaps. I am grateful for your time, energy, love and care that you are sharing. Blessings to you and your family.

    I herd a historian claim that the southwest region from Grand Junction to Durango to the four corners had 1.5 million inhabitants in the past. That is a large populatuon and would require lots of storage areas for food and lots of dwelling places. As i have gone and explored many of the old sights in the southwest region i would have to posit that this as accurate a number and may even be conservative to the amount of people who used to occupy this area.

      I am starting to believe this also. I have seen and found incredible amounts of evidence (points, pottery, stone tools) during fishing and hunting excursions throughout the years. There HAD to have been way more people here than what I was taught in the government indoctrination schools.

      @@kennyhollidayjr5206 The area could not have held that large a population, there was never enough fertile land and game to support those kinds of large numbers. I would also question that amounts of points and pottery mean a large population. If a Native American hunted for say 40 years, he would have been hunting almost every day, using small bird points up to large points to take game. If he lost just one arrow a day hunting, either in the brush, in a wounded animal, or the shaft was broken, (it is easy to lose an arrow if you are a modern bowhunter) he would have lost 14,600 arrowheads in his lifetime....Pottery is also fragile, and when used for cooking and everyday use broken pieces were probably quite common. Pottery could be made almost anywhere and was simply made, used, and then left behind if a camp was moved, and new pottery was made. I lived in northern Arizona, some times you would find areas with dozens of pots that had been ceremonially "killed" with a hole to the bottom. Heavy stone metates would be the same, you would not want to carry one far, you just found another rock and made one where ever you were.

      @@greg6235don’t underestimate human ability to make huge gardens in the desert, every ancient culture in the southwest has a proficient agriculture, the Hohokam made one of the biggest canals in North American history during the time only being surpassed by kingdoms in the Deep South Americas. These cultures have had desert gardening skills for thousands of years, you’re wrong buddy these ppl weren’t just simple hunter & gatherers but excellent farmers & craftsman. It’s been known that there was a huge trade route possibly even bigger than Asian trade routes at the time from the southwest to the Guatemalan peninsula. You don’t just have to hunt for food you can trade for it. just bc you don’t know ancient native history doesn’t mean they “couldn’t” do it. Ignorance has the biggest mouth

    When I was a small boy, growing up around Moab we spent many many days exploring the lands, and ruins in the Southwest. I heard many white tour guides try to explain Hovenweep, Chaco canyon, Mesa Verde and so many others that I could not begin to count. Even as a small boy and beyond it was clear that they really had no idea what they were talking about because as soon as you ask a question and pointed to a particular feature they never had any answers that made sense.
    I do recall wondering why they just didn’t ask the Indians themselves these questions. Now that I am much older I can understand the answer and it’s quite simple. The Park Service and Archeologists and Bureaucrats are simply too arrogant. They feel they are way too smart for that and that the only true answers can be found in their laboratory and library. They are so arrogant, that they even leave wide open, the simple questions you see on that sign as a “grand mystery”. They would rather make it seem so complex that nobody could possibly know, rather than ask someone and risk finding out they were full of (you know what).

Yes my family was strange half looked Norwegian and half native.
