Native Americans Had a Vast Communication Network

- The Diné had a vast network of communication. Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, teaches about the communication network. And how the Diné knew about the Spaniards, and early American settlers long before they made it to Dinétah.
Often times anthropologists paint a picture of caveman type American Natives who didn’t know what was going on outside of their respective village or community. But traditionally more we know there was communication between the tribes and messages and information could be passed quickly.

Mr. Brown, your words and wisdom are priceless.
We had communication with tribes as far north as Alaska and as far south as South America.
Networking in the past, present. Very important for survival. Honorable teacher, thank you.
Mr. Brown, it's nice to be able to listen to you -
an elder, and to learn firsthand about the history of your people, and not learning it from books or others who aren't Dine.
Amazing Oral History, these stories are more valuable than Gold 🙏🏼❤🌎
Your words make me feel reconnected to the here and now, even though you speak of times long ago.
Thank you so much , I so enjoy listening to your oral history ! 😊👍💖
Thank you I could listen to you for hours
Take care of your health we need you
Wise people should lead coutries for peace in the world 💚🕊🕊🕊
Grateful as always Grandfather. Blessings.
I love the videos. He reminds me so much of my Late Cheii.
He certainly would be a cool grandpa!
I met a relative of Geronimo, she was very down to earth person. I hope she is well. We both had old classic VW's, so I think that is how she noticed me. She had a very good heart, and deeply soulful person. Wish I could get advice from her again, I have been in some deeper trouble. So, if they been waiting for me to ask for good guidance, I am asking them. Thank you.
Apache people are beautiful!
Don’t always believe people who claim to be descendants of prominent native figures. Can’t tell you how many I’ve caught in a lie.
Thank You grandpa. The blue sky and clouds are good for a walk today. Yes, we too, my grandmother and others tell me, had a vast network of communication that even included some white families that made up the underground railroad to freedom during American slavery. While we followed North, the bright star of the drinking gourd (big dipper) we saw the map encoded in womens' quilts hung out to dry upon tree after a washing.
🌹💞 offerings. I hope to return home to where the heart is soon. Its all too lonely here.
Thank you for all the interesting stories and thank you for sharing your knowledge sir.
This man and his knowledge is a treasure. Thank you for sharing this with us don't let it die
We are not what some are trying to present us to be. Stand strong.
Blessings to you and family
My grandmother taught me of our long range communication. I am wabanaki, we used light and drums and smoke signals and runners, we used high places for observation and listening to these signals. We could send a message from our lands up north (now called Canada) to our southern lands (now called Massachusetts) in about 15 minutes. all peoples of Turtle Island could communicate, face to face we all used the same hand talk in which I'm fluent since before I could use words. Thank you grandfather for passing on your wisdom. wawasalmegwadich, kwashodw8gon, pamossa wligow8gon
Thank you so much for this true history!
Thank you for the teaching. This knowledge today you give is vital to our survival. Much love I send to you now--my people. The Dine--Navajo.
I enjoy learning history thank you.
Thank you for sharing the culture through your beautiful blanket background too.
Thank you.
Blessings to his gentle nature
I have benefitted from your sharings here. Very grounded, honest and interesting. I appreciate your channel.
I learned Spanish in college, but I enjoy learning the native words and language of the Dine, my Navajo family.
Our people knew Geronimo.. I bet our people were always tabs on the Apache's even up to the Great Plains tribes..
Very good.
Wow!!!! Wally! What am Amazing true oral history & true story!!!! Thank you so much f/ telling it! it's quite fascinating.
Underground railroad and quilts...we followed the drinking gourd North...yes grandfather.🌷🐦🙋👰
Interesting Texas in del rio and eagle pass are canyons in Texas rio grand valley it is far away from nw New Mexico
Wish I would have had such stories!!!!!! All of us white kids had to sit & watch our parents & grandparents watch TV. A few programs would have been ok. Sadly you know TV & such has totally taken over so much of everything.
History has never taught us that the Southwest Tribes (Diné, Ndeé, Comanche, Pima, Quechuan, ToHana O’Odom and Tewa banded together to stop the Spaniards after they conquered Maya and Aztec. That’s how we made more jewelry from their armor.
You know the Comanche were pretty brutal, right? Hell they took slaves in MEXICO.
I doubt the Spanish armor was actual silver. It just had a silver shine. It was a steel shell & sometimes the Indians themselves wore it for protection.
@Ceasar Castro tell them. To many fakes try to rewrite history & manipualte people. Saludos from Tijuana.

You know the Spanish Conquistadors with the help of the clergy were pretty brutal right?
I mean from 1492 all the way to 1542, the Spanish were not even sure if the Natives were real people, as their lands, and the people were not talked about in the Bible.
This presented a major issue. See the Spanish men had only the cabin boys to use on their way across the ocean blue.
Yet once they made landfall, they saw women, old and young and those in-between. They bathed and smelled good and knew of personal hygiene. So the Spanish would raid villages, take women that fancied them and then the bad things would happen.
This went in for a good while, and it bothered the pope because his Conquistadors could be practicing beastiality. So he pondered this, and came up with a papal bull declaring that native people were in fact human.
Which made sure all the Spaniards were safe from committing the sin of beastiality. The raping continued, so much so according to old Spanish accounts. Soliders would even start securely abuse females in the streets. At times in front of the Fray's and Padres.
But the Comanche right?
The Spanish destroyed Tenochtitlan, as well as the 30 other aztec towns in the area. Each town by the Spanish's own accounts held around 100,000 citizens.
The population was either killed off, enslaved, and some women were acculturated and excepted.
But the Comanche?
So in comparison, the Comanche might have gone to war against the meso-american tribes, but they never annihilated any.
The Comanche might have killed, raided, stole, ransomed, others. But not to the level and extent the Spanish did.
So yeah, you know the Spanish were pretty brutal right?
@@blacktigerpaw1They made no distinction between any non-American Indian group, American or Mexican.

I am new here. You speak to my soul,i love the peacefull way you explain . Now we have CZcams to get messages across .So many books were written to manipulate us in being (free)slaves . My blessings and love to all the beautifull people across the world . Strange things we are experiencing now globally . I trully believe things are going to change ...the leaders who believe they are in charge ...they are mistaken . It states in a very famous book that everything thats covered up will be revealed ...

Refuge was offered and people tend to learn from the place before being organized onto the patrol.

I think it is interesting about the beginning of the age of Aquarius is these times/ era/ generation/ but not much recognition it is this generation that it started,
I'm interested in what teachings you have about Human Respect. I believe that respect is very important.
👍
Ahehee! 😙 🌎🌍🌏
Be great if they communicated how to stop the violence and sexual abuse in community, please.
My grandmother was a young pregnant black woman birth her husband. She gave birth to my dad on the reservation. Im awaiting return.
The people connected with Navajonet 🙂.
"O si-yo" Grandmother Iko' called them river runners. We R of the mid water people's. The Wazhazhe people.

He's only talking about the one type communication which requires visual, physical contact by sign language and spoken language. Mr. Brown being a Dineh traditional medicine man, he knows there were other ways of gathering information such as spiritual or telepathic means. Just saying.
Of course
I so believe that & nobody will convince me otherwise
And that part of our stories and traditions aren't shared with outsiders.
I have now watched about three videos of yours I am black or you can say African American and it causes me to wonder about tribalism
And then what happened??
those spaniards hadn't met the comanches yet 🙁
#CHIEFGANG #NATIVEAMERICAN
I will think that Europe was as much conquered as Amerika and under that same time.
We seems to forget all that violence and supression goin on here. The Churches and the uper class combined in seeking to maintain and gain more power over all people, working against young nations and nationality. Forcing people to take their chanses as free men in America.
i live near native american copper mines, thinking communication can be so fast and effortless now; the value of communications is universal being an ongoing need.....we can communicate all over the world now, and sometimes it still doesn't help.....i think everyone, now should take sometime to focus like this, on the quality of our communications ...
i study world dynamics, historical and present; so when i think of history i move around the whole world in that same time frame......an interesting and wholesome exercise that helps open one's mind like steeping out doors...it is more work, but it is easier now...
While it is not my place to say this I mean no disrespect. I feel that it would be a good thing for all the Tribes to write down their history, then file a discrimination suit if the government doesn't make the real history
of this continent known!
Turtle Island was stolen by gangsters masquerading as people on a holey mission to save the sole of the savage.
SAVAGE? The Turtle Island pedestrians never attacked Europe.
When I think about what my ancestors have
it tears my heart out.
When I read about the Indigenous to Turtle Island its clear to see that you are a Holy people. The Turtle Island Indigenous had Heaven on Earth, and what did my ancestor do? They destroyed it.I have a huge conscious. Imagine what it is like to be born into this. To realize that my ancestors cared so much about their wealth to the point that they would destroy a holy people for possessions .
I think somthing must be done to change the direction of humanity! We stand with our backs to great fall on one side and a great abyss on the other. It wasn't the people of Turtle Island who put this on humanity either.
If I had my way the Turtle Island Indigenous would run Turtle again. As it should be.
So many white people went to Alaska in the 1990s. What is meant by this grandfather? They went to present knowledge. Counselors, religious authorities, even television focused upon the land of the Inuit, the Eskimo...
:D
I have a question. Don’t know if anyone will see this or not but I’ve recently been in contact with a group of people who have started recording marker trees that were left behind by the various different tribes and people that lived in North America. I was wondering if the Navajo people have a tradition of marking trees for communicating special purposes or things that happened at the place where the tree was located as well? From what I have seen so far these special marking trees have been found all over the north east, south east, Central, and parts of the western United States. I have heard that they have been found in Canada as well.
you want too know? but even i don't really understand...?
my name is unknown but i was given a birthmark on my face!
can it mean i bear the sin of many? with shame my head is bowed!
I've suffered in youth also came close to death...more then twice! but also died!
I've seen the light with joy i embraced it but also witnessed darkness...was i afraid?
no i thought it was strange like me...but every one should know!
in times of dark, fear not! but fear HE...your CREATOR!!!
YOUR SALVATION IS THROUGH HE!!! OUR GOD, HIMSELF!!!
even the servant of god knows better...not to bring anyone else before him!!!
but ill tell you this the job isn't finished yet...OUR CREATOR HAS A PLAN!!!
pray and repent...for days are coming of the unknown!?
Man I’m so sorry to hear about Canadian schools. I guess they go to hell. Eh really, that was in the news recently, disgusting treatment treatment of the children sir..

If they had communication between the tribes then why didn't all tribes band together to get rid of the White man? My history of native american teacher in college many years ago (as I've been interested in this my whole life, my shell is Irish but my soul??) told us that the reason why the natives were over run is because they didn't have communication or a way to band together?
I am not trying to be rude, but why would your teacher in college teach you and others that "native" people had no communication(s) with each other?
You would have to ask him.. It was 20 years ago.
@@skyewild3647 I think I'd rather not waste time doing so, but rather hear truth from Mr. Brown, and other Dine Men and Women.
That would be more sensible to me.
@@Blackgoldart1 It was just a simple question. I am only trying to learn and didn't realize it would cause you such discomfort. Please do look further than me because again, I am merely trying to learn but with this kind of push back I might just stop. Thanks for making me feel uncomfortable about trying to expand my mind.
@@skyewild3647 Your question or responses don't cause me any discomfort.
I didn't know that you would feel discomfort or any offense by my asking.
I hope you won't feel offended by my current response.
I merely wondered why a college teacher or professor would tell students something such as that - thinking that the Dine people, or any peoples would not have any type(s) of communication - whether it involved helping each other or coming together to "kick the white man out" or not.
It makes me wonder if the teacher even knew, or possibly didn't care to find out at that time as to what the true answer was, and just decided to give that response to the student(s) as an answer hoping that it would be accepted as fact. Or maybe that's what the teacher was taught and had accepted it as fact when in fact that was not the true answer.
We know now that people from ancient days until the present day have had vast communication(s) for millenia with themselves and with other people(s).
As we communicate now days, in the present, the same was done millenia ago.
Thank you.
