I love Twin Lakes and have camped and fished there many times. I love LOVE this segment of Colorado Experience.....along with all the others!!! Thank you!!
These never ending Native American tragedy stories have been beaten to death. We get it-The Indians lost. At this point it’s all about reinforcing white guilt and virtue signaling ad nauseam. Let’s not forget that Native American tribes were fighting and killing each other long before white Europeans arrived. The Cheyenne, the Sioux, the Arapahoe, the Crow and others have been fighting each other over territory for centuries. That is a historical fact. In the interest of balance, why aren’t those stories also told here?
You have to understand that to the puritans and Christians the Natives weren't very impressive. If you meet a Native today its hard to find one to actually look up too. They didnt have any technogy. They didnt even have the horse or wheels. The chiefs had multiple wives, and Squaws could be bought. So I dont feel as sorry for them either. Even Dances with Wolves, a lot of Leftist propoganda
My family encroached upon Ute families because of the Irish potato genocide. I see us as having a common enemy. Greedy owners and their capitalist system. I weep for my Irish family farm that the lords drove us away from. Greed vs love of the land.
I think we all understand that the Utes lived in the area before we defeated them and took the land by right of conquest. We won. That's the way things were back then. Every video doesn't have to keep regurgitating the Ute stuff.
@ sure. The winner writes the history and sets the rules. Lots of White lands conquered by others. The savages lost, get over it. It’s now native White land. It’s ours. Our beautiful White land.
Which women? The native women? History lesson/common sense time, during that time there are 2 things really important to keep in mind, first: the shutter of the camera had to be open for 10 minutes or longer for each picture, instructions were, don't move, don't flinch, be perfectly still, set the timer for 10 minutes go look in the mirror and smile, nearly impossible, your mouth/lips will often begin to quiver and twitch, life was difficult, especially for the aboriginal people, days were long ,work was hard, for everyone, especially the women, mothers, the gatherers, the weavers, etc..you'll see the same expressions on white folks in photos during the era, primarily for reason number one but for all the same reasons as well, it feels like no one can deduce what makes sense for the time/era..... .
I came looking for area information and instead got a history lesson !!!!! WHO sez we are running out of fresh water , there's still so many lakes we can drain LOL !!!!!!
@@MM-xc2bt The Utes did give up their land...involuntarily in the 1800s. They gave it up by having it forcibly and violently stolen from them by the white mining settlers. Or is that being to woke for you?
@@DrJohn493 I never said it wasn't taken from them. I said give up your stolen land back to the natives. You are the one so concerned about their stolen land.
White Europeans do not have a monopoly on land conquest. The Native American tribes fought among themselves and stole each others land for centuries. The Arapahoe, the Sioux, the Cheyenne, the Apache all fought and killed their enemies for hunting grounds and territory.

Thank you!!
Love these very informational documentaries!!!!
I miss Colorado my home state a lot.
Amazing vies! Beautiful video!
My favorite place in Colorado.
I remember interacting with the local Utes while I was there
Is there anyone keeping the Ute's from using and enjoying the land? We can't live in the past.
Approximately 1% of this video was about Twin Lakes
Remember the original people that called this area home there spirit is in the water ,plants and the air. Protect all colorado.

Wish I had access to land where I could roam freely.
What is this mention of genocide with no documentation?
🛡️
Absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. I hope they are given their lands back. It has been far too much time.
propoganda strong with this one
Some call it history...
The Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company built a masterpiece ... The Bureau of Reclamation destroyed it
Before Europeans arrived all tribes lived in harmony and there was no war, disease, crime, hunger, sickness, or death.
Boy what planet did you study from?

Kind of like Hitler’s and Putin’s claimed “right of conquest”?

@ yes, exactly right. The Whites won it fair and square. Such are the annals of history.
@ if you want them to try and take it back they are more than willing to try.
Fitting the us government ended up with the land...
It is God’s earth. Nobody really owns anything.
No All of Southwest Colorado is MY land. We pass thru there hunting game so its all our territory. They took it from us 😅
Notice how the women look miserable and abused in all the old photos

@@bethewalt7385 the guys are smiling
The men aren’t smiling either. Look at Grant or the governor or the miners… not one is smiling.
Mythological stories and historical documentation and evidence 😬

This is their land we other race folks are simply guest. Return what was stolen.
So is where you live. Start by giving up your land!
