In this Archaeology Café video, Peter Pilles explores Flagstaff-area archaeology and what it reveals about connections to other regions of the Southwest.
I grew up very very close to the Sinaugan Turkey Hill pueblo. I was one with their spirit and to the spirit of mother nature. I felt their presence often in the form of the whispering wind that blew through the tops of the Ponderosas and through the rattling oak leaves. At one point the forest was littered with inches of pot sherds-- a large amount of it was beautiful black on white. The truth is that the climate there is very very unforgiving. The winds alone can kill crops. They must have really struggled to make a life there.
You don’t struggle when your ancestors have been living the region for 4000 years+. Only got tough with the waves of diseases (first vector point being the unwashed eurobodies spreading pathogens through Taino trade networks to mainland), genocides, and land grabs.
@@NCRonrad Not entirely true. The Sinagua had left the Turkey Hill area long before the arrival of Europeans. Also, keep in mind that other so called "native" tribes were migrating throughout the eons from Alaska and displacing and killing and conquesting other native peoples. Natives are NOT innocent bystanders. Most of them wiped out the peoples that came before them. Go ask a Hopi how they feel about Apaches.
It’s a really cool video; it’s just terrible to think people lived hard lives because you can’t see the bounty. Pioneers starving and eating eachother, while next to hundreds of mesquite trees, agave, oak, wild game, etc - with food easily accessible throughout the seasons.
