The cattle guard allows a vehicle to cross without need to open a fence, and it discourages cattle from crossing due to its width, but I've seen young steers jump them. Thanks for the video. If you need some help with tribe contacts in N. California, NW Washington, NC Washington, let me know. Cowboys and Cowgirls too. I know a bunch.
Missing and murdered indigenous women is a subject that’s not addressed enough. As a native woman, I was almost abducted by a biker gang that was passing thru the reservation I lived on in SD
They have True Family . In Tucson Arizona they have Beautiful casinos, and since the Indians have had Their land taken, some of the profits go to their families. They are True . These are the people who deserve to have anything they need, it is their land , no one from another country is going to come onto their land and think they will take what ever they want. They won't be able to take 2 step's. 🏜️🐎🐂🌵🙏🦊
This was really amazing to see. I am a proud Blackfoot woman(from Canada), and it’s really nice to see our peoples stories being highlighted and told from their perspective. I feel the narrative around our people have been told from the outside. Thanks a lot, Peter for taking the time share this with us.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
Sweet! Us Apaches were at one point Canadian, migrated from the homeland in the 13th century roughly and split off into two large groups, the Navajo and the Apache. Much love❤
My daughter in law is Mescalero Apache we live right next to the reservation! I love the Apache people, and I have 2 beautiful grandsons that I want to them to know and be proud of their heritage!

Reminds me of 1985 when I was 24 years old visiting the Jicarilla, Apache Reservation for the first time. I stayed with a family of Navajo who lived there. All the little kids kept laughing and following me. My friend said the little kids had not heard English yet and thought I was really funny. The grandmother was well over 100 years old and I was told, she was born during the "Long Walk," time. That would be 1866 and her age at the time 119. They were living in the traditional way, with no running water, electricity or cars. Just herding sheep and walking. It appeared a peaceful life of tradition and calmness. Time seemed to be at a different pace there.
The man that was in the Military has a natural strong word that needs to be heard. His aspect of life, love, hard work is something this world is missing. Great video!
I was born and raised in Ruidoso. I went to school with Native Americans. We were taught we were all the same. My daddy was a logger and they allowed him to log on the reservation. Sometimes I really miss the simple life.
I'm a Fla Boy and we live way down here in SwFla on the Gulf but my wife and her family are from New Mexico,,, Years ago we had a family gathering for Christmas 🌲 in Ruidoso ,, Very beautiful mountains and great mountain town !! 👍 Ruidoso 🔥
My uncle has a ranch near Corona and I use to spend some time in Ruidoso during the weekends when I worked for him. Fun times. How long has it been since the Mescalero sawmill closed?
My nephews Grandpa was a mascalero apache . My father and I paid him a visit in 1973 and let me tell you his floor was made of harden dirt and had a woodstove for heating and cooking and was pretty happy . Most of us nowadays are weak minded and physically challenged and if the summer hits 90 degrees we start wining including myself , it could be a heart attack I had or possibly other illnesses but I'm in the same boat just weak now . I'm so embarrassed with myself .
It’s good that you respect him but also good to respect yourself. I agree that to be negative about it is not the way to go. Try to have a positive outlook to changing some of your thoughts and parts of your life that you dislike, and it will help in making a “growth mindset” :)
Hi I can relate get back to me let me know how you feel now if the same or any different I relate to you and see some similarities maybe we can bounce off each other and possibly help find a way to better our situation
The situation with native women is so disturbing. I personally believe it’s because of the way the law works between reservation police and state or local police. Not enough communication between them so the woman are falling between the cracks! Something needs to be done to change that. These women deserve better.
Hell summer of 2020 I roofed my mother's Adobe home my father built for her 55 years ago. Electricity from a 55 year old box. No water, survived on 60 gallons of water a week! Had to haul it from a spring 175 miles away.
I guess being white I just never knew how many other people nowdays have such fancy houses. About three years ago our house didn't have a bathroom or running water. That place is a nice place but the drugs and alcohol is a problem there. It's been over a Year since I have been there.
15:13 as an Indigenous person who have known people close to me who have also served, I can immediately see the pain in his face dealing with life after combat. Indigenous people have special words for warriors and fighters, for the men who put their life on the line to protect their people, then come back home and have to deal with PTSD with the added dimension of also having to deal with the weight that all Indigenous people carry. I hope he finds his way to healing.

Born and raised on the Rez in NM. Grew up on my family's ranch as a sheep herder, joined the Navy after high school and after retirement I moved around the country and ended up in upstate NY. As a full native I cannot wait to see your video covering the reservation. This video was spot on.
you have native ancestry, while living a white mans lifestyle. You are exactly why the governments of these lands are going to strip natives of their *rights*. Why?

For me.. i think the fight still exists. Resistance is real, and is needed. SO WHY AREN'T WE? Well.. guess it's because native people are lost asf and claiming to be white lolololololol... taking vaccines and signing up for their handouts because it's an easier and respectable way to live eh?! ahhhh. Whatta sham. yer a conquered soul, Stephanie, a sell-out. That's not even your real name but we'll use it.. since it belongs to your new identity.
I served in the Army with two Apache soldiers. They were cousins, with the last name of Lavender. The first was an infantryman in the Old Guard, and the second was a medic in the 504th PIR, 82nd Abn. Both were super great guys! Nothing but impressive as people, friends, and warriors.
I think it’s so important to shine a light on our native brothers & sisters and their culture, they are the original guardians of our country. Looking forward to the series.
He exactly right about the Veterans and not having that “family “ when you get home. I served , people from all cultures, way of life , we joked about each other’s cultures, we learned about each other , became family and would Die for each other !
It's probably a curse since the cause was not righteous, millions of people's lives got ruined because of the US war machine serving selfish agendas. We all know the cunning and false flags that can easily be used to decimate a whole nation. From a man to a man perspective we are all the same, human nature does not change. Men of all cultures like the wilderness and teaming up to defend one another chivalry is in our blood. Hope that peace can prevail in the middle east and all over the world.
🍏🍏Unfortunately the 0.01% Elites that control the country are a bunch of corrupt cucks and send the poorer classes overseas under false / fabricated pretenses to secure natural resources under proxy dictators/ rulers/ companies.
Wow, this is probably my first look into Native American Culture. I've nothing but a lot of respect for their culture and way of life. Thanks for educating us Peter!
Man listening to the veteran talk struck home with me. Getting out and coming home was the hardest part of my life so far. Also letting go of that part of your life because you love it and the people so much it kills you on he inside. I appreciate other guys who understand that.
Peter, thank you for all your hard work on bringing these wonderful videos to us viewers. Hope you can interview some of the Elders from the tribe to share stories of their Reservations!
@@shewhothinks7603 I think you're in the wrong place. This whole channel is based around letting people tell their stories so that others may gain insight and learn about one another. But i'm sure the tribes are grateful you're being offended for them, karen.
Can you also interview some “Native Mexicans?” I love learning about their tribes, as well as my ancestors tribes (Mexico). I’m sure they are like us in some ways. We Mexicans are very spiritual, and still connected to our original native customs.
Years ago at a reunion, my grandmother says to me, " you come from a long line of proud hard working Mexican, Spanish, and apache indian", very curious and watching intently, thanks for this, many blessings
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
I am in FL (south) and we have Seminole reservations here. I also have a family member who works on the reservation in Brighton, FL. I love the native American culture, and I always look forward to your videos each Sunday.
As a third gen Apache that has no idea what it would be like on the res and this is where my tribe is from. No one really talks about the displaced natives or why it is such a battle to find your tribe. 1849 James Pollock was a scout for the army and married in 1883 to Josefine Chavez full blood Apache but can't find any info of them even threw the BIA. I have aways felt like there was no place like home and wish that I was born on the res just to be a part of what you revealed to me for the very first time. Thank all of you and like he said no matter where you are at in the world the native is always with you. Stay Natural!!
Maybe you could try a DNA service like Ancestry…I haven’t but have heard that people have found long lost cousins through it, and in some cases, brothers and sisters they didn’t know they had (!). It might be of help, especially if there are others out there also looking for your branch of the family but don’t have contact or know where to start. Good luck! :)
My great grandfather was a Pollock, he married a Paterson. They were both from Scotland, but Grandpa Pollock also had ties to Northern Ireland. That side of the family emigrated all over the world. I am from Scotland too, but I've lived all over the USA. Seems I caught the "wandering" gene, my granny, (his daughter,) had it too. I agree that a DNA service might indeed be helpful. It's been really important to me to research and learn our family's history and details. Hopefully someone in the future will use it and it won't get lost again.
I am in the same position... My ancestors were displaced and documented records of them is hard to find. But I know from my grandmother that they were Apache.
A year ago I drove thru Apache Pass in northern Arizona. I took hwy. 60 west out or New Mexico. It was the most beautiful and the most intense drive I have ever had. Stunning. Thr elevation there was around 12,000 ft. I would have to go down 1 hill doing 90 to get up the next hill. By the time I got to where it leveled off I was only doing 25mph. When you drive thru there you can remember from the old movies , the cowboys riding thru the Pass and the Apaches up top looking down on them. Totally stunning.
I recently finished watching the Amish series and thought it very well done. The big surprise to me, and probably to many, was how open so many of the Amish were in talking about their lives (and I never realized there were so many subgroups). The Amish seemed interested in educating the public about their world. Here, with the exception of the man who’d been in the military, the impression I got was that everyone was polite but otherwise pretty reserved. In my experience, in having grown up near an Indian rancheria (a small reservation), that is typical. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes go. Having found this channel, it is a bit addicting. Good stuff.
A series on each Island-23 years of litigation for Hawaiian Homestead Act? A cultural divide. Mismanagement and abuse of power under one party rule. Current census? A sell out to foreign investors-
Thanks for the great, extremely interesting, video. I am a southeastern New Mexico native. The Mescalero Apache reservation is indeed a beautiful area.
I'm on about my sixth video of yours now & it's just fascinating. Everybody you interview seems like just everyday people but they are also so interesting I can't wait to hear their stories.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
Great Grandparents on both sides [Mescalero Apache]came out of Roswell NM and had many acres of farmland before NM was a state . Ruidoso “Inn of the Gods “ and the town is so beautiful with lots of charm. Surrounded by mountains of snow ..beautiful land .
I grew up in a family of small ranchers just south of here in the Gila Wilderness. Thank you for showing this country, people,and culture to the world.
Very excited for the upcoming videos. I’m from the Wet’suwet’en nation in BC Canada. As someone who has recently started watching your channel, I cannot even begin to express how much this means to me. Our reserves may be small but they have so much to offer. My community for example is surrounded by gorgeous mountains, and a river runs through the area with a small canyon just 10 minutes away from my home. There’s so much beauty in each reserve I’ve been to. ❤️
Thanks for doing these videos about different lives and cultures!!! Love it! Only wish history classes had been this engaging and comprehensive in school.
I was born and raised in Roswell, NM and our family’s favorite Sunday outing was a trip to the mountain town of Ruidoso and the beautiful surrounding areas. My parents bought a small plot of land in the area with the plan of building a cabin there, but my Dad passed away unexpectedly before they could realize their dreams. There really is something very special about it❣️
Salt river cave massacre. The tribes that are alive today, are the ancestors of native americans who cooperated with the federal government, and actually turned in other native american tribes. There were hundreds of different native tribes, but today we only have a few left, they helped the federal government, and massacred other tribes that they considered enemies. They helped the white man.
@James Bond This country is literally called “Fat America” due to the never ending supply of useless whyte rejects from Europe. Native and colored people built the country you stand on from the U.S constitution to the house you live in. Don’t speak for our community when you clearly know nothing except for the lies your skin head daddy told you. You and the majority of your people don’t even amount to half a man.
I lived in New Mexico for 3 years in the early 1990's. I went to college with a number of members of the Mescalero Apache Tribe. They were so warm, friendly and funny (as are most people out west). I wasn't used to that because I'm from New England and we're a pretty surly lot LOL. We're only warm, friendly and funny with people we know, not strangers. But I remember how engaging and helpful so many of my classmates were at NMSU especially in my cultural anthropology class.
I was lost for four years after getting out in’95.Hate it when friends & relatives turn into a bunch of goddamn Karen’s and think they know what you went through.
Peter Santenello always a pleasure watching your videos. You always approach sensitive matters of other cultures, like this with professionalism and respect. Keep grinding bro.
The guy talking about how much he missed the military hit home for me. It is a totally different way of life . When you are all living the same life it is a very tight knit community. You know you can depend on the people around you.
I grew up in Ruidoso which is not far from the reservation. I love your video. It shows a lot of area that I'm familiar with. I use to work at The Inn of the Mountain Gods back when they first opened. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
I was a a trail guide in Cloudcroft NM. In the 70s. People from the reservation brought a horse for sale that could be ridden with no tack. I got to ride her. Could not afford to buy the mare. A beauty! So were the forests around there. Not much development back then. Take care, peoples.
I hope you do a series on all of the tribes. Apache are amoung my favorites. Them and the Commanche were the ones you really didn't want to mess with. I have been honored over my many years on earth to form friendships with a lot of people from many tribes. Experiences I wouldn't ever change. I spent time in Oklahoma in school. Those friendships are still near & dear to my heart.
I grew up in Tularosa right at the base of the mountain from Mescalero. I went to school with Apache kids and to this day still have a lot of good friends up there. I spent many weekends up there, chased horses, ceremonies, feasts. Amazing, beautiful people and culture.
My great grandma was Abache, at Bosque Redondo she was a young girl, adopted into the Tódich'iinii Doone'e', Eastern Navajos. It was an honor directing a safety video project with Mescalero narrated in the Apache language - a first for the tribe. I miss working with those professionals in housing.
15:12 WOW, The way he explaines how he felt about comming home after two tours, and what he misses is so telling. You can feel every word he says. This man really stood out to me.
I’ve been to the Mescalero Apache reservation twice, staying at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. My grandfather used to go elk hunting with the Big Game Hunts on the reservation and took me. All the guys with the Big Game Hunts were great. Amador and his son, Eddie, Wendell. All good folks. Jordan Torres is one of their local artists and my grandparents have bought some paintings from him that are absolutely beautiful. They’ve got one that’s like 4’x6’ that he painted for them of the Sierra Blanca mountain in the background with elk foraging in the valley. Fun fact: when there’s not so much snow on the Sierra Blanca mountain, you can see the mountain peak in the shape of a face with a feather coming down the back side of the head. Very cool to see this reservation in your videos.
I liked the perspectives of the two men you interviewed...No place like home cowboy and veteran who found deep brotherhood in the military. God bless you all.
we could do more for ourselves if our people weren't all fkd up and confused while running around claiming cowboy. gosh. that man is LOST ASF. I"m Cree, with the memory of Apache having a fierce reputation for being warriors. Guess that went down the fkn tubes.
@@keetahbrough A lot of people claim Cowboy or live the Cowboy lifestyle that came from Spaniards/Mexican. The lifestyle really left a footprint in the U.S.
@@keetahbrough Distinct tribes have to change with the times if they want to continuing existing. Look at old world ancient people like Jews, Germans, Japanese, etc etc they have evolved with the times and found a way to mix traditionalism with modernity. The Apache Tribe I'm going to assume are finding/found a way to mix the two. I know the Navajo Tribe has done that very well and are thriving in many aspects.
Am loving(!!) all these cowboy and Indian and Latino videos!!!! So good to connect with real, laidback, quality people! A breath of fresh air from the nauseating, social media driven content so prevalent on other channels. Thank you so much:))
No doubt, but I would guess you'll visit the Ute Tribe, Utah... (People of the mountains). The University of Utah (Utah Utes) hold a special halftime show during one of our football games, where our Ute Tribe holds their tribe dances and it's always a special moment. Thank you Peter for showcasing our beloved Natives, the conversations are much needed.
Thank you! You’ve listened to our requests. New Mexico has a many different tribes and they’re mostly Pueblos, Navajos, and Apaches. Unfortunately for many of our small communities we still have restrictions especially tribal member only entry. And most pueblos have restrictions on photography and videoing. Best to talk to the tribal offices of any of the Pueblo at you plan on visiting.
Just a bunch of guys no different from you or me, just probably a bit more satisfied with life. Not surprised at all. God bless em. God bless this land
The conversation with the vet was profound, him explaining the difficulty of coming back and readjusting to civilian life - away from his military buddies, close teammates really. His life was their hands and their life was in his hand. Having each others' back are just not words in the military. I learned a lot from his story. Made me think.
You did a great job on Jordan's show. I listen to every episode he does, and I watch every video you post. It was cool to listen to you both get together. I always look forward to your posts. Keep up the tenacity.
I hope you do a second part of this particular interview. The vet kinda took the convo into another direction. And the gentleman sitting next to him would probably agree. Lol
The closest I ever came to Native American Culture was on Exercise with the British Army in Yakima Washington State. There were Native Burial Grounds dotted around the Exercise Area which I personally felt as a British Soldier anyway was a disgrace of an intrusion on their resting peace. I remember saying few prayers silent prayers for these brave warriors. As a child growing up in Scotland I always felt a strange affinity with the Native American. Kinda weird I now realise but I was truly fascinated by their story. Much of which as you may or may not be aware was deeply damaged by British Invaders back in the day.
I am part Sioux but mainly a white man irish/norway but can feel my Indian blood just as i can feel the viking in me life is spiritual and with that you can feel alot of pain and sorrow grief and anger but also alot of pride strength and honor and to my native brothers and sisters i applaud you for your strength and for your forgiveness we are all related because we are human and we are alive and the faster we realize this the faster we can truly all become a family and help each other
This is awesome! Hope you get to see other reservations and get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly and learn more about the history first hand! Love what you're doin! Also you'll see how each state has it's own cowboy culture. If you get to talk to any Pro Rodeo Cowboys those guys/gals are more what we consider rodeo athletes.
Thankyou for your videos, Peter. These guys are so relaxed and open with you ; it's amazing. Soldiers are the same, the world over, @ 15:53 that guy talks about the common bond - it's like if a Brit veteran met up with that guy there'd still be that mutual understanding. Nothing quite like it in the world.

He exactly right about the Veterans and not having that “family “ when you get home. I served , people from all cultures, way of life , we joked about each other’s cultures, we learned about each other , became family and would
Die for each other !
Amen
It's probably a curse since the cause was not righteous, millions of people's lives got ruined because of the US war machine serving selfish agendas. We all know the cunning and false flags that can easily be used to decimate a whole nation. From a man to a man perspective we are all the same, human nature does not change. Men of all cultures like the wilderness and teaming up to defend one another chivalry is in our blood. Hope that peace can prevail in the middle east and all over the world.
🍏🍏Unfortunately the 0.01% Elites that control the country are a bunch of corrupt cucks and send the poorer classes overseas under false / fabricated pretenses to secure natural resources under proxy dictators/ rulers/ companies.
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service, I hope you have a blessed life.
As a veteran myself that veteran spoke the absolute 110% honest truth.
Wow, this is probably my first look into Native American Culture. I've nothing but a lot of respect for their culture and way of life. Thanks for educating us Peter!
They seem like really tough dudes
To the gentleman who served, thank you!
Thanks to all these gentlemen for sharing their stories.
Man listening to the veteran talk struck home with me. Getting out and coming home was the hardest part of my life so far. Also letting go of that part of your life because you love it and the people so much it kills you on he inside. I appreciate other guys who understand that.
Peter, thank you for all your hard work on bringing these wonderful videos to us viewers. Hope you can interview some of the Elders from the tribe to share stories of their Reservations!
Yes, the goal is to do a deep dive Native series this fall and get into these stories.
Those “stories” are their stories and not to be shared with people from outside the tribes. We outsiders shouldn’t pry - just sayin’ . . .
@@shewhothinks7603 I think you're in the wrong place. This whole channel is based around letting people tell their stories so that others may gain insight and learn about one another. But i'm sure the tribes are grateful you're being offended for them, karen.
@@shewhothinks7603 lol... What?
Can you also interview some “Native Mexicans?”
I love learning about their tribes, as well as my ancestors tribes (Mexico).
I’m sure they are like us in some ways.
We Mexicans are very spiritual, and still connected to our original native customs.
So happy to see my home state/culture featured. I would love to see some more native tribes highlighted in this way.
Years ago at a reunion, my grandmother says to me, " you come from a long line of proud hard working Mexican, Spanish, and apache indian", very curious and watching intently, thanks for this, many blessings
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
Nice to hear what that Vet had to say about returning ! Thanks for sharing .
That was so amazing! I am from Mescalero. I love what you are doing and I just want to say thank u!
I am in FL (south) and we have Seminole reservations here. I also have a family member who works on the reservation in Brighton, FL. I love the native American culture, and I always look forward to your videos each Sunday.
Thanks Stephanie! I live in South FL too and hope to get into the Seminole Reservation in the future.
@@PeterSantenello you definitely should
Would love to visit the res there,I've read a lot about the Seminole natives,have always loved their culture
What do know about your culture

What a great group of ranchers, thank you to the young man who served our military safe travels 👍
He does what the mainstream media isn't interested in. They are more interested in pushing BS political/ social issues.
Hello , how are you

@@Robertmacmedia yes thanks , you got WhatsApp
Peter. I’m from Tasmania , Australia. Love these videos. I can’t stop watching. I’ve learnt so much. Thank you.
And that's a place I would love to visit..... Australia
I've been to Tasmania. Camped in the mountains right outside of Hobart. It's a lovely place. ❤️
As a third gen Apache that has no idea what it would be like on the res and this is where my tribe is from. No one really talks about the displaced natives or why it is such a battle to find your tribe. 1849 James Pollock was a scout for the army and married in 1883 to Josefine Chavez full blood Apache but can't find any info of them even threw the BIA. I have aways felt like there was no place like home and wish that I was born on the res just to be a part of what you revealed to me for the very first time. Thank all of you and like he said no matter where you are at in the world the native is always with you. Stay Natural!!
Maybe you could try a DNA service like Ancestry…I haven’t but have heard that people have found long lost cousins through it, and in some cases, brothers and sisters they didn’t know they had (!). It might be of help, especially if there are others out there also looking for your branch of the family but don’t have contact or know where to start. Good luck! :)
My great grandfather was a Pollock, he married a Paterson. They were both from Scotland, but Grandpa Pollock also had ties to Northern Ireland. That side of the family emigrated all over the world. I am from Scotland too, but I've lived all over the USA. Seems I caught the "wandering" gene, my granny, (his daughter,) had it too. I agree that a DNA service might indeed be helpful. It's been really important to me to research and learn our family's history and details. Hopefully someone in the future will use it and it won't get lost again.
@@fionadiazdalriada how many poles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Agree with doing an Ancestry test. Lots of the Apache Chavez can be found in Mexico too.
I am in the same position... My ancestors were displaced and documented records of them is hard to find. But I know from my grandmother that they were Apache.
A year ago I drove thru Apache Pass in northern Arizona. I took hwy. 60 west out or New Mexico. It was the most beautiful and the most intense drive I have ever had. Stunning. Thr elevation there was around 12,000 ft. I would have to go down 1 hill doing 90 to get up the next hill. By the time I got to where it leveled off I was only doing 25mph. When you drive thru there you can remember from the old movies , the cowboys riding thru the Pass and the Apaches up top looking down on them. Totally stunning.
Hello , how are you
Wow, they are living the life. Great video.
I recently finished watching the Amish series and thought it very well done. The big surprise to me, and probably to many, was how open so many of the Amish were in talking about their lives (and I never realized there were so many subgroups). The Amish seemed interested in educating the public about their world. Here, with the exception of the man who’d been in the military, the impression I got was that everyone was polite but otherwise pretty reserved. In my experience, in having grown up near an Indian rancheria (a small reservation), that is typical. We’ll see how the rest of the episodes go. Having found this channel, it is a bit addicting. Good stuff.
Indians are not , overall, chatty people.
@@YSLRD yep, I agree. I grew up in AZ and we have a lot of Pima, Apache, and Navajo. Not really chatty but they are super friendly.
Hello , how are you

Should definitely come to Hawaii and do a Native Hawaiian series. Lots of untold history that I think you’d find interesting. Love the vids 🤙🏾
A series on each Island-23 years of litigation for Hawaiian Homestead Act?
A cultural divide. Mismanagement and abuse of power under one party rule.
Current census? A sell out to foreign investors-
Yes, this.
Peter should document the Hawaiian cowboys. It's a really interesting story that goes back to 1793 with King Kamehameha.
Definitely

Great stuff man, I love these Native American videos. It sure sheds light on a greatly unknown, misunderstood, misrepresented and ancient people.
Thanks for the great, extremely interesting, video. I am a southeastern New Mexico native. The Mescalero Apache reservation is indeed a beautiful area.
I'm on about my sixth video of yours now & it's just fascinating. Everybody you interview seems like just everyday people but they are also so interesting I can't wait to hear their stories.
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
Great Grandparents on both sides [Mescalero Apache]came out of Roswell NM and had many acres of farmland before NM was a state . Ruidoso “Inn of the Gods “ and the town is so beautiful with lots of charm. Surrounded by mountains of snow ..beautiful land .
I grew up in a family of small ranchers just south of here in the Gila Wilderness. Thank you for showing this country, people,and culture to the world.
Very excited for the upcoming videos. I’m from the Wet’suwet’en nation in BC Canada. As someone who has recently started watching your channel, I cannot even begin to express how much this means to me. Our reserves may be small but they have so much to offer. My community for example is surrounded by gorgeous mountains, and a river runs through the area with a small canyon just 10 minutes away from my home. There’s so much beauty in each reserve I’ve been to. ❤️
Kool iam yavapai apache.
Peter’s journalism is second to none. So respectful. Love his work.
Thanks for doing these videos about different lives and cultures!!! Love it! Only wish history classes had been this engaging and comprehensive in school.
I look forward to your show every Sunday. Reminds me of the old days of CBS, ABC and NBC. When you waited for your favorite show to air.
Thanks Rich!
I would love to see more of these interviews! I truly enjoyed this one, I love the native culture. I’d love to see more interviews with more tribes
Hello , how are you
I was born and raised in Roswell, NM and our family’s favorite Sunday outing was a trip to the mountain town of Ruidoso and the beautiful surrounding areas. My parents bought a small plot of land in the area with the plan of building a cabin there, but my Dad passed away unexpectedly before they could realize their dreams. There really is something very special about it❣️
Wow that went fast. This was very fascinating. We need more of this please. I’m sure there’s a lifetime of stories out on the reservation.
I have so much respect for the natives, they’ve suffered through so much loss through Colonial history & even to this day.
Salt river cave massacre. The tribes that are alive today, are the ancestors of native americans who cooperated with the federal government, and actually turned in other native american tribes. There were hundreds of different native tribes, but today we only have a few left, they helped the federal government, and massacred other tribes that they considered enemies. They helped the white man.
@James Bond They will always desire vengeance.
@James Bond the battle. Not the war.
@James Bond Yes. We’re still here “James Bond”. Though I wouldn’t expect an uneducated reject from Europe to understand what I’m tryna get at.
@James Bond This country is literally called “Fat America” due to the never ending supply of useless whyte rejects from Europe. Native and colored people built the country you stand on from the U.S constitution to the house you live in. Don’t speak for our community when you clearly know nothing except for the lies your skin head daddy told you. You and the majority of your people don’t even amount to half a man.
I lived in New Mexico for 3 years in the early 1990's. I went to college with a number of members of the Mescalero Apache Tribe. They were so warm, friendly and funny (as are most people out west). I wasn't used to that because I'm from New England and we're a pretty surly lot LOL. We're only warm, friendly and funny with people we know, not strangers. But I remember how engaging and helpful so many of my classmates were at NMSU especially in my cultural anthropology class.
Man, that Iraq Vet hit the nail on the head. I was lost for a couple of years after I got out.
I was lost for four years after getting out in’95.Hate it when friends & relatives turn into a bunch of goddamn Karen’s and think they know what you went through.
Peter Santenello always a pleasure watching your videos. You always approach sensitive matters of other cultures, like this with professionalism and respect. Keep grinding bro.
The guy talking about how much he missed the military hit home for me. It is a totally different way of life . When you are all living the same life it is a very tight knit community. You know you can depend on the people around you.
I grew up in Ruidoso which is not far from the reservation. I love your video. It shows a lot of area that I'm familiar with. I use to work at The Inn of the Mountain Gods back when they first opened. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
Luv Luv Luv that your doin a series on Native Americans from all over Praise to my Native Ppl!!!❤️
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?
The Mescalero Apache know what they're doing. The rangeland is in amazing shape!
Native American series. I've been waiting for this real bad
Thanks for your work! I’m glad to see my Mescalero brothers are living well.
Watched every video in this series today. Best way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
You are hands down my favorite content creator on RUclips. You sure found your calling Peter.
I was a a trail guide in Cloudcroft NM. In the 70s. People from the reservation brought a horse for sale that could be ridden with no tack. I got to ride her. Could not afford to buy the mare. A beauty! So were the forests around there. Not much development back then. Take care, peoples.
I hope you do a series on all of the tribes. Apache are amoung my favorites. Them and the Commanche were the ones you really didn't want to mess with.
I have been honored over my many years on earth to form friendships with a lot of people from many tribes. Experiences I wouldn't ever change. I spent time in Oklahoma in school. Those friendships are still near & dear to my heart.
I grew up in Tularosa right at the base of the mountain from Mescalero. I went to school with Apache kids and to this day still have a lot of good friends up there. I spent many weekends up there, chased horses, ceremonies, feasts. Amazing, beautiful people and culture.
My great grandma was Abache, at Bosque Redondo she was a young girl, adopted into the Tódich'iinii Doone'e', Eastern Navajos. It was an honor directing a safety video project with Mescalero narrated in the Apache language - a first for the tribe. I miss working with those professionals in housing.
15:12 WOW, The way he explaines how he felt about comming home after two tours, and what he misses is so telling. You can feel every word he says. This man really stood out to me.

Hey thats my people! APACHE MESCALERO tribe🙌
Your tribe is one of the famous of the South West very popular in MX too .
Great series, really enjoy the diverse content of your channel.
I’ve been to the Mescalero Apache reservation twice, staying at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. My grandfather used to go elk hunting with the Big Game Hunts on the reservation and took me. All the guys with the Big Game Hunts were great. Amador and his son, Eddie, Wendell. All good folks. Jordan Torres is one of their local artists and my grandparents have bought some paintings from him that are absolutely beautiful. They’ve got one that’s like 4’x6’ that he painted for them of the Sierra Blanca mountain in the background with elk foraging in the valley.
Fun fact: when there’s not so much snow on the Sierra Blanca mountain, you can see the mountain peak in the shape of a face with a feather coming down the back side of the head. Very cool to see this reservation in your videos.
Love the statues they have outside of the Inn. They look Badass
@@brownjatt21 oh yeah. When I’ve been there on vacation and on the hunting trip, the atmosphere is just amazing.
Hello , how are you
I liked the perspectives of the two men you interviewed...No place like home cowboy and veteran who found deep brotherhood in the military. God bless you all.
Love honor and respect for my beloved New Mexico people. 🧩
God Bless these Apache tribal cowboys! I am very thankful they are part of the United States! I wish our country would do more for the Native people!
we should finish the job
we could do more for ourselves if our people weren't all fkd up and confused while running around claiming cowboy. gosh. that man is LOST ASF. I"m Cree, with the memory of Apache having a fierce reputation for being warriors. Guess that went down the fkn tubes.
@@keetahbrough A lot of people claim Cowboy or live the Cowboy lifestyle that came from Spaniards/Mexican. The lifestyle really left a footprint in the U.S.
@@keetahbrough Distinct tribes have to change with the times if they want to continuing existing. Look at old world ancient people like Jews, Germans, Japanese, etc etc they have evolved with the times and found a way to mix traditionalism with modernity. The Apache Tribe I'm going to assume are finding/found a way to mix the two. I know the Navajo Tribe has done that very well and are thriving in many aspects.
Alamogordo is my home town, its hard to explain to people how beautiful that area is.
Hello
Good people, I was also raised on ranches in Estancia and Clovis. I lived in Roswell and Ruidoso. Love the mountain air. Great videos!
Beautiful! Passed multiple time through this Area between, MORENCI, AZ. And Lawton, Ok. Just have always Love the People and the Area!
Am loving(!!) all these cowboy and Indian and Latino videos!!!! So good to connect with real, laidback, quality people! A breath of fresh air from the nauseating, social media driven content so prevalent on other channels. Thank you so much:))
We homeschool our 4 children 6,8,11,15 and your content is wonderful curriculum for them. Thank You so much... 🤍🖤🌞🌙⭐
No doubt, but I would guess you'll visit the Ute Tribe, Utah... (People of the mountains). The University of Utah (Utah Utes) hold a special halftime show during one of our football games, where our Ute Tribe holds their tribe dances and it's always a special moment.
Thank you Peter for showcasing our beloved Natives, the conversations are much needed.
I was wondering what a Ute was. Thanks for sharing.
great job Peter .......... Looking forward to you sharing more of the Native American culture in this unbelievable Country of th USA
Hello , how are you
Can we just take a sec to appreciate that tack room? 😁
Awesome...nothing but respect for the people. Wish there were more like them. Beautiful country..wow. ❤️
I’m so grateful to learn about others lives on such a personal level.
You are one of a kind PS!
Much Love 😊
Love your stuff ! Can’t wait for the Native American tribe ones!!
Thank you Peter for showing the culture of Native American cowboys!❤️😀🇺🇸🐗🐎
Thank you! You’ve listened to our requests. New Mexico has a many different tribes and they’re mostly Pueblos, Navajos, and Apaches. Unfortunately for many of our small communities we still have restrictions especially tribal member only entry. And most pueblos have restrictions on photography and videoing. Best to talk to the tribal offices of any of the Pueblo at you plan on visiting.
Go to Sandia Pueblo! Awesome group of people trying to maintain their culture on the edge of the urban sprawl.
Just a bunch of guys no different from you or me, just probably a bit more satisfied with life. Not surprised at all. God bless em. God bless this land
Hi from Scotland Peter,great videos seeing different customs from far away👍🏴.
👍👍
I'd like to visit Scotland someday.
As someone exploring my roots in South Texas/ Northern Mexico this really helped me connect. Thank you. ✌🏽🐆
There aren't words to define your talent. Such enjoyable videos. Thanks 😊
Awesome!
Yo soy, Español ( Vasco ), Frances y Apache!. 👍🏼
The conversation with the vet was profound, him explaining the difficulty of coming back and readjusting to civilian life - away from his military buddies, close teammates really. His life was their hands and their life was in his hand. Having each others' back are just not words in the military. I learned a lot from his story. Made me think.
You did a great job on Jordan's show. I listen to every episode he does, and I watch every video you post. It was cool to listen to you both get together. I always look forward to your posts. Keep up the tenacity.
Thanks Serg!
I am extremely happy for the cowboys and ranchers series specially with the Native American aspect of it too. Amazing
I hope you do a second part of this particular interview. The vet kinda took the convo into another direction. And the gentleman sitting next to him would probably agree. Lol
Thanks for sharing this Peter. Loved to learn about their tribe and their culture. What a beautiful area too.
Beautiful jod I love it good story
I have total respect for anyone the Indians are truly awesome Peter you do a good job keep up the work
The closest I ever came to Native American Culture was on Exercise with the British Army in Yakima Washington State. There were Native Burial Grounds dotted around the Exercise Area which I personally felt as a British Soldier anyway was a disgrace of an intrusion on their resting peace.
I remember saying few prayers silent prayers for these brave warriors.
As a child growing up in Scotland I always felt a strange affinity with the Native American.
Kinda weird I now realise but I was truly fascinated by their story.
Much of which as you may or may not be aware was deeply damaged by British Invaders back in the day.
The hospitality and common sense of the ranchers here makes it look to an inviting place to visit andlearn
Another great episode. Being a native Texan it's good to see the Southwestern perspective get a light shown in it
Texan is not a tribe

Hello
I am part Sioux but mainly a white man irish/norway but can feel my Indian blood just as i can feel the viking in me life is spiritual and with that you can feel alot of pain and sorrow grief and anger but also alot of pride strength and honor and to my native brothers and sisters i applaud you for your strength and for your forgiveness we are all related because we are human and we are alive and the faster we realize this the faster we can truly all become a family and help each other
This is awesome! Hope you get to see other reservations and get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly and learn more about the history first hand! Love what you're doin! Also you'll see how each state has it's own cowboy culture. If you get to talk to any Pro Rodeo Cowboys those guys/gals are more what we consider rodeo athletes.
Thankyou for your videos, Peter. These guys are so relaxed and open with you ; it's amazing. Soldiers are the same, the world over, @ 15:53 that guy talks about the common bond - it's like if a Brit veteran met up with that guy there'd still be that mutual understanding. Nothing quite like it in the world.
Thank you so much for putting these out Peter, they show the real beauty of this country
So glad you accepted my suggestion of doing something on Native Americans. Looking forward to seeing more about our First Nations People!
Yeah..I am sure it was all because of you
