To'Hajiilee and the Long Walk 1862
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2023
- Just west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a band of Navajos (Dine') federally recognized only in the late 1960s. But the community of To'Hajiilee is older than the United States, and its surrounding canyons and hills hold sacred secrets to a history that has never been taught--even to other Dine'. Regarded as "the enemy Navajo" by many Dine', join me as I speak with Marty Monte about the major events that led up to The Long Walk and the what led to To'Hajiilee being treated as an outcast by the larger community of Dine' from the Navajo Nation.

I am Dine’ from Tuba City, AZ. Thank you for enlightening me about our own people on the eastern side of the Navajo Nation. My daughter’s auntie inlaw is married into your community. Through my daughter, I hear stories about the cultural difference including language. Your view about us on the western side is appreciated. We need to come together as one people.
Ahe' hee for checking out Marty's video, much appreciated! We've been planning for over a year to be out in Tuba City & still haven't given up. There is some differences but there is more in common than our people think. Ahe' hee for your support!
Thank you for sharing
Ahe' hee, what area are you from? 🤙🏾
I can't believe this happen Navajo history, everyone who is Navajo should be proud of their history, culture.I'm a Navajo too from Smoke Signal/Low Mountain area.
Ahe' hee for your appreciation of our history and the stories our people share. We have more great interviews coming down the pipeline that we're proud to share. Have a great weekend
Thank you for sharing this. This is a great style of interview. I would certainly like to learn more and understand this subject better.
Ahe' hee
I'm Navajo from the southern part of the big Rez in AZ and it's interesting that we don't know too much of our brethren to the east. Enemy Navajo. Wow. Us western Navajo wonder why they chose to live outside the boundaries of the 4 sacred mountains. Growing up, I always thought it was odd some Navajo lived so close to Albuquerque.
Ahe' hee for sharing insights about this episode. I hope Marty was able to bring some understanding of why such areas like Tohajiilee & Alamo exist outside of the main body of the Navajo Nation. Please share the word & help us bring our nation closer together. Ahe' hee
@@Spagoshi Ahehee for sharing their story. I look forward to watching the rest of the videos on this channel. ^_^
@@lexxmelancon1737 🙌🏾
So very true , my grandfather use to get massages from out that way to go do his healing from out that way .
well said brother 👍👍
What a great story within another great story. I can only offer empathy because never in my life have I known oppression by another civilization, culture, or race (with the possible exception of MAGA culture). No wonder a lot of the native people are not big fans of Columbus Day.
Ahe' hee David, thank you for the nice inspiring words. Another episode of Marty will be coming out next weekend.
Alot of what he explained falls into place of what my nali' and my cheii' told us as kids growing up.
The stories of people traveling home, and the first enemy way ceremony being held in tohajilee before moving west into the homeland.
The story of the To'hajiilee band was very fascinating to hear and the deeper lore of sacred significance was eye opening. Ahe' hee for watching
It's good stuff, keep it up. There's sacred places where our medicine people visit to pray and sing sacred songs, my cheii' spoke of a place in the tohajilee area, among other places throughout our traditional homeland.
My maternal side of the family is from the howell mesa/ blue canyon area in the western agency
Yes Marty spoke of that, but we purposefully left it out of the video to keep our sacred culture intact. Thanks again for watching!
Thank you for the stories
You're welcome and more to come next Sunday

Do you have a social media handle to share?
The Long Walk period and the Mexican American war are two distinct eras more than a decade apart. I think what hastiin means to say is we still battled Hispanic slave traders/raiders that were still out against our people even after the return from Hweeldi?
From what I gathered from these interviews are the untold history that weren't properly documented and were shared from their local regions. I'm sure small skirmishes continued long after recorded wars were recorded and documented.
@@Spagoshi absolutely. Still awesome to hear about either way. For me those old events are in the past now but some of us from the big rez remember some of these Diné, yes as scouts and auxiliaries. Led by notorious clever men with names like Joaquin. Who was the first Navajo headman in Spanish records to side with the Kingdom of New Mexico against the rest of the tribe in the early 1800’s. Frustrated with constant raids from the big tribe against communities along the rio grande that constantly were blamed on those living at Tohajilee. Instead of punishing the real culprits residing farther to the west. Sandoval was another man not well liked by the big tribe for his shameless habit of playing all sides. He was also notorious for stealing and selling children. I remember reading about how his warriors accompanied US troops on a campaign against the Chiricahua and Western Apaches (in retaliation for the killing of Navaho agent Henry dodge.) Sandoval brought a young Apache captive with him home afterwards only to discover his homestead had been recently attacked by marauding Utes.
