Ancestral Puebloans

- The modern Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest are from a genetic and cultural lineage that dates all the way back to the Pleistocene. A thousand years ago, the Ancestral Puebloans were the dominant civilization of the high desert. Their multitude of canyon settlements, cliff dwellings, and cities of adobe brick are some of the most impressive archaeological ruins in the world.
Tracing their phases of development from Paleo-Indian to Archaic to Ancestral Puebloan and the early phases of the modern Pueblo culture, we also look at their geographic setting and explore facts about their daily lives, including their habits as hunters and gatherers, then agriculturalists. We discuss their genetics. From the Hopi lands of northeastern Arizona to the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico, we look at the roots of the Tanoan and Keresan-speaking Pueblos of today. We examine the history of their weaving and pottery and story-telling. Also, the depth of their rituals and religion.
Come join us for an hour of desert sunshine and the breathtaking artifacts of a civilization nearly 11,000 years old!

This is my homeland and my people. I can't imagine living anywhere else in the world! I've traveled and seen beautiful places but my heart, indeed my whole body belongs to the desert. I don't live very far from Taos Pueblo so i'm surrounded and reminded of the timelessness of this land and its history. The food we eat, the art we create, the spirituality we share is what makes this land the land of my soul.
The supposed mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi was in fact an Aztec genocide.
🎑✨❤️
Probably my distant cousin haha
It is indeed beautiful country, I have visited Santa Fe a few times, and my family and I once visited Taos and saw the Pueblo village. My mom and I also went to Mesa Verde, it was something to see. We also went to Hovenweep, and there was a man who was probably from the Pueblo communities because he played a flute and it was nice to listen to.
Stop lying!. According to science and their own history Black people are the only indigenous people on the planet due to the fact that they were on the planet first and that so called nonblack people have only been on the planet for six to ten thousand years, are not human and because of this have no history or heritage to speak of. See Anacalypsis by G Higgins and history written before 1840 to avoid white surpremacist scholarship. See murals if the Maya Inca Aztec so-called. From an autochthonous Being to you.
My ancestors are Puebloans!
Grew up doing masonry and working with adobe material with dad back in the 90s when I was a kid! Proud of my ancestors!
Some of our Sunday outings when I was a child in New Mexico were spent exploring the ruins left by the ancestors of the Pueblo people.
55 minutes of chills throughout my whole body. I'm a cochiti pueblo decedent my grandmother moved to Colorado and built a family there and sadly passed when I was 5 years old. And sadly through alcohol addiction my heritage was never taught to me. Thank you for this video!
A well-researched presentation of a complex and often controversial subject. Thank you for tackling it. -A former Mesa Verde ranger.
A great video to begin the new year!!
People that travel to different places to make cool videos like this are awesome. My videos are all just me in a dark room. Hahaha maybe one day they'll let me out. Haha
Captivating. Fascinating. Elucidating. And If I may say so, another SAMA presentation that is no doubt making Nick smile and be proud that you are continuing what he began.
Agreed. I live on the far side of the world, but always watched this channel from its early inception. The number of times Nick and his family come to mind surprises me.
I love how this is all based on the assumption that people couldn't build any sort of boats 16,000 years ago, yet they could somehow build giant megalithic structures that we can't duplicate today.
Frr where can I find the real knowledge
Every time I see one of this awesome videos and I cry a little, remembering Nick. I still admire his and this work you are continuing, thank you
I'm glad you're continuing what Nick started. This was really interesting. Thank you.
About 5-6 years ago they discovered an ice age village near the city of Bella Bella, out in BC Canada. The village is about 16,000ish years old and could have housed about 500 people. Archeologist were going off of oral stories that were passed down by the local tribe that call Bella Bella home today, which in many accounts was very accurate. The tribe believes their ancestors sailed to their current home over many generations. (I'm going by memory so the details i presented might not be entirely accurate)
This is the most balanced presentation I have seen. Both my son and I have taken DNA tests with FTDNA. My son has a Swedish grandmother that 100% Swedish and my son has DNA matches from Sweden where the YDNA is the same as the primary Native American Q-242. And I have have with a Bavarian, Scottish, Swiss, Luxembourger, Norwegian mix extra mutations on my Mtdna that are associated with C mtdna. It just makes me wonder how much people have moved around in the past.
WolfRoss, I am German, and I know my paternal ancestry pretty well, and all of my recent ancestors have lived in Middle and Western Europe. But when I took a DNA test, I was completely surprised that I have zero genes which can be traced to these regions. According to the test results I am 80 percent Scandinavian, and the other 20 percent are from Eastern Europe and the Iberian peninsula. The genetic lottery seems to have eliminated everything else. And I also contemplated how far and wide our ancestors must've traveled. Maybe there are a few Vikings amongst my ancestors, because the routes they took with their ships out of Scandinavia on their plundering sprees and settling attempts correspond pretty well with my specific gene cocktail 😉
@@sabineb.5616so you're saying criminality is in your genes.. 😂😂
@@astrialindah2773 Ha ha ha...
So you're saying there's no instance of criminality among your ancestors? Criminality is not a genetic marker, it's a behaviour and "crimes" that we recognize today are kind of hard to measure in a historical context.
Modern humans started walking around about 200,000 years ago. By pointing this out, you're basically implying that your genes consist of a lineage of humans who had not committed what we would consider a crime today, ever? 200,000 years is a long time.. I'm about 110% confident someone you're related to has committed a crime at some point during that period.
FANTASTIC NARRATOR some of my Native friends believe that they came out of the Grand Canyon and then worked thier way East and across the Bering Strait to asia . Basically a backwards version 🙂
Interesting. What was before the Grand Canyon?
there is a book called American Genesis by Jeff Goodman about this
Could be.
Wow. What a wonderful and detailed breakdown and retelling. Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your incredible respect for history.
This is one of the best presentations I've ever seen. Great job keep up the good work
Beautifully done! Thankyou for the work you did putting this video together. I grew up in the four corners area and still have family there. You are spot on with the information you have presented. I enjoyed watching and learning more about one of my interests.
I would love a whole series on Hopi mythology
Same!!!
This was so well done. Fascinating! The original Americans. You covered a huge timeline and made it educational. I liked the speaker. Good job. Very concise & easy to learn .
Thank you. I love this history period.
I like how this reminds everyone that these are mostly hypothetical….. lots of questions and lovely conversation to be had
If you listen to Keres songs it is mentioned of coming across the blue waters (Lemuria).
From the JUNGLES of YUCATAN to the DESERTS OF NEVADA. #OLMEC
I just hope you're Mexican.
Outstanding and in-depth as always!
no it's not. He tells what white ppl or outsiders are told. In the navajo schools, the real oral tradition is taught. Visitors to Chaco and many other sites that the damn Parks Depts. are in control of, will not let the real story be told. No one disappeared. They fled, hiding in the hills, cliffs and mountains. There is evidence of cannibalism at chaco, as well as The Maya being there. A mayan skull was found. We know this. but....they are coming to learn that The oral tradition in it's accurate form, is very much true. The outsiders like to impose their own world view, and change what they don't like about the oral tradition. As told by a 3rd generation medicine man and storyteller for the Dine/Navajo, The Anasazi lost their way, because of an evil supernatural being with the power of mindspeak drove them crazy. They turned to sorcery and magic, and also began to eat each other. Not because they were cannibalistic, but because this being caused them to with it's mindspeak. When the missionary's came to tell the stories of the Old Testament, we laughed and said we already know these stories. Just in our own language and terms of understanding. The Church would call those evil beings who descended from the sky "Anakim/Nephilim". I won't say more. Just think about that for a minute. YOu are not told the truth. Like I said, mainly because the Gov. will not allow it outside the tribes. It doesn't fit their world view, to fantastical etc....but is being found out to this very minute, just how true it actually is.
@@vondahartsock-oneil3343 While interesting, none of what you said negates this summary presentation from being "thorough'. Scholarly research and archaeological ground truth only goes so far, it's true. But scholarly exercise, done well, should only put forward what is provable; which is what he did. Provable history is not always capable of speaking to the nooks and crannies of a history. Your stories are interesting, but scholars need to test and prove things, because on occasion, the evidence on the ground may actually not align well with the oral record and being "close enough" doesn't count in scholarly endeavors. Also when I hear things like "I won't say more", well now whose at fault for not sharing ethnographic information that may help enlighten the scholars about what they're reading in the shared records or seeing archaeologically on the ground? And what if I was to ask a descendant of the Dine Anasazi what their view of it all is? Would they have another telling of the "truth" entirely? If a scholar is attempting to dispassionately observe and compare and understand information and context, based on each side's telling of their ethnographic truth, which should be considered more accurate to the scholar? Should a scholar be expected to be a referee in ancient grudge matches? No. But it is extremely important for scholars to have knowledge of the oral histories because it helps enlighten the potential context of their observations in history and archaeology, but they can't possibly be expected to rely on those alone, since there may be a whole other kind of truth separate from the Navajo vs Anasazi truth entirely. They need to remain open to those other possibilities as well. We all need to be open to new evidences for that matter. New evidence may challenge our belief systems, but shouldn't necessarily break them. I'm personally of the Joseph Campbell mindset on such topics. Finding that spirits or giants don't probably exist doesn't negate the lessons our ancestors were teaching us by telling us about them. Life is and always will be hard and understanding their philosophy and ethos taught by their well curated stories and belief systems can really help us get through our own journey. You seem to recognize that the stories of missionaries and your Dine people match on many fronts because the lessons of life and how we can deal with it are fairly universal. But that's all about our mental health and it can be starkly different from what we can actually prove happened, or didn't happen, in the past. I really hope the Native and Origin peoples of the Americas will continue to share their beliefs, stories, and culture and also continue to become active scholars of their own histories and archaeology. These fields desperately need their insights and understanding to be contributed and added to the scholarly body of work and its own perspective of the "truth".
I've read the research on the White Sands tracks, and I don't understand what's "inconclusive" about them, much less controversial. I'm not sure how it could get more conclusive that there were people walking in Southern NM 23,000 yrs before present. There are other tracks in the area of megafuana that date the same. It's time to let go of the Clovis First theory.
There's evidence that humans have been in NA since 130k BC, things like the footprints are controversial because it flies in the face of traditional western knowledge, singlehandedly undoes centuries of "understanding" of how ancient America was, and demonstrates that the spoken historical traditions are capable of retaining knowledge accurately for eons, a concept most western historians find terrifying.
Agreed
Archaeology has, like many fields of history, been influenced by the prejudices and biases of the university professors and students that populate the field at different times. The theories and postulates in the late 60# were odd
The nature of the radiocarbon reservoirs was in question, legitimately. Additional independent evidence in support of the dates has since been introduced.
Superb. I lived and worked with the native people on the Colorado Plateau and the the inter-mountain West for 40 years . I'm far richer for that experience.
Wow haplogroup B was very prominent in native American?! I never knew that! I'm a Malay from Malay Peninsula. My friend who studied in US said when he was there many people in the US mistaken him for a Native American because we the Malay and other Malayo-Polynesian people like the Filipinos look a lot like native American!
I was born in Albuquerque and have Pueblo in me. It’s nice to learn about where I came from
Heck yes, amazing stuff y’all.
There building structures are absolutely unbelievably amazing, considering there are many that were found uninhibited for hundred years still able to shelter people now just as they did when they first were created. There intelligence of the sun and moon, as well as using the stars to travel at night. Simply mind boggling
Thanks for the compelling info and data. I learned more from this vid than I did in school. 👍 Happy New Year!
How much can you learn at school? People go to college for years to learn history, and still their research isn't done. You can only learn so much at one time.
A fascinating history lesson with great support graphics, art, photos and sometimes breathtaking footage and images. One can understand that such landscape and vista’s will create such myth of creation and belonging, captivating! I feel enlightened and want more❤
You are doing such an amazing job. Thank you.
no he's not. THis is not oral tradition. It is oral tradition for the white man and outsider. No one disappeared. They fled. For good reason.
Very well done! Thank you!
Well done. Descriptions,maps , etc. thank you.
Thank you for an informative, entertaining video! It seemed to be created with heart, and respect...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Finally someone creating a cohesive whole... I'm sure in the details arguable, but in the whole and in general an idea that is synergistic and relates to a great degree to what is and was...and likely will be. I grew up traveling these areas with my parents who saw the interconnections back in the 1960's and 70's. I came from the midwest near the mound peoples, have a stone ax from a friends land that once had a tell on it until bought and leveled for a ball field in just the last few years. And those tribes we studied and then drove past Cahokia every year as we traveled west... I remember my dad a historian in certain light seeing the lines of roads out of and toward Chaco Canyon speculating on connections across the four corners area... before anyone else except perhaps hypothesized in arcane hard copy journal articles as the archeology began in ernest. I remember the medicine wheel in Wyoming when an old rancher took us way off road to it and it was still pristine. Him noting an old Indian had pointed out points on far mountains where he said if you go there you can find areas where they built huge fires that could be seen from the wheel stretching out maybe a hundred miles. I've never heard of those "fires" in any studies...
I left for the Marines and an old man who eventually gave his ranch and unspoiled ruins to the U of Utah took them to a dwelling that they described as, what if you one day, got up cooked breakfast and then without eating just walked out of the door, never came back and someone came upon your house 700 years later. They said it was eerie, with the accoutrement of life including textiles, sleeping areas, weapons, little corncobs sitting next to metates and manyos ready to be processed... They said that was what they and the old rancher were reminded of and he said that was why he took them to that place...
I remember walking hardly known canyons (Montezuma Canyon/Monticello) at the time, ruins untouched by the few ranchers, yet now well traveled. We walked down washes seeing tells half washed away by the Spring rains and my mom seeing blue in a partially washed out corner of a tell, wall apparent, walking up and seeing about 10 turquoise beads in a circle an obvious bracelet shape in the dirt and sun with some already gone with the rains...
What do you mean "tell" ?
Also, I believe documentaries about Chaco canyon mention "signal" fires, that were used as a form of communication, that were visible for 100s of miles.
Here is Wikipedia on a tell... "In archaeology, a tell or tel (borrowed into English from Arabic: تَلّ, tall, 'mound' or 'small hill') is an artificial topographical feature, a species of mound consisting of the accumulated and stratified debris of a succession of consecutive settlements at the same site, the refuse of generations of people who built and inhabited them ..."

Very cool thanks.
The first people are the Anishinaabe, the Ojibwa; Cree and Chippewa. (Still in existence!) The narrator makes the hunting and gathering/farming they did sound as if it was perfected and abandoned by others. In fact, the Ojibwa lived this way until the Canadian and US governments, (and further, Hudson Bay trading Company) forced them to assimilate to European lifestyles. But they have not been wiped out even to this day. Catch a PowWow right here on YT. They still dance and sing…
I have been to a Cree PowWow.
Its so amazing how people learnt to survive back then we sure have it easy these days
*Very good.*
Thank you.
*Let the Sunshine In.*
There's a recent find that could bolster the kelp highway hypothesis, announced last week I believe. It's being called the oldest stone tools found in the Americas at around 16,000 years old and the tools are similar to those found in Japan at around the same time. This may suggest that a people carrying this technology travelled along the Pacific coast from East Asia (rather than Siberia) all the way to the Pacific Northwest and up the rivers into Idaho.
I'm quite familiar with the Pueblo peoples, lived in Grants, NM, and worked in PR for the Acoma Tribe in the 90s.
Wow great work!
Thank you for those final words, Puebloans are still here and are still making history. Too many people say stuff like "the disappearance of the anasazi (using that cringe term)" like we didn't just move a little bit more south.
This was such an amazing video! Thank you for making this! Great work!
If I could give this 10 thumbs up, I would. Just what I was looking for
As a pueblo person from the Zuni and Kewa people I must say that about 85% of this video is accurate. Mostly accurate is better than being misrepresented. Thanks for being respectful as well. Our origins are not myth to us but rooted in our truths. A small band of Kiowa integrated with the Jemez people about 250+ years ago. just thought yall should know this as well.
What did he get wrong? Just curious.
The Jemez mountains are my favorite.
Thanks!
That was a great presentstion. I thank you for it!!
Great way to start the new year. Thanks for keeping SAMA going and all the best in 2023
So proud to have the blood of these people, thank you for doing this….just incredible.
A beautiful and fascinating documentary.
This was simply excellent. Thank you! Much, much more complex that I had ever dreamed of. From Texas!
We have all been migrating around this Biosphere since time began long ago!
Fantastic work thank you.
This shit is so fascinating. I desperately would love to be a "fly-on-the-wall" during the times these people lived. Very well made video, thank you!
If only we knew even 1% of all the things unwritten in history....
@@scottanno8861 for real. I talk about that all the time with my friends. I don't believe there's enough evidence for the City of Atlanta (a technologically advanced society living in the ocean thousands of years ago), but I do believe that there is a lot of things the human species has learned over the hundreds of thousands of years we've been here, much of which was lost to time.
One example is meditation. Buddhism & Hinduism has done a really good job at preserving the various meditation techniques people have learned over the years, but it's said that Buddha himself learned many techniques from hermits he met in the jungle. Where did these hermits learn it? Is there a type of meditation that Buddha wasn't taught? Or perhaps a type of meditation he was taught but failed to teach others?
Great documentary. Thank you for the research and for posting it.
Beautiful video. Your channel is a gem.
Excellent, thank you....I have recently visited Chaco for the first time and was amazed at the buildings. Also a superb visitor centre.
This one was so awesome, the maps spectacular!!!
Going outta my mind that I haven't figured out how to screenshot on my new phone.
It's a keeper!
Excellent video. Another great tribute to Nick.
Great presentation! ❤
Magnifique bravo bravo thanks verry much
Great episode, thanks a lot!
The peoples of NAH came to the western lands (HAWILAH) about 4200BC magog, maday, mecheku in the north. They encountered the samate, ayawana, tupulu-Atlub and hamaku in the south.
Thank you.
Got it, had to reboot 👍🏼
Greetings from the BIG SKY
This is exceptional writing. A book I read on this topic was a catalyst for radical change. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood
Thanks so much for this video not only is it educational but beautiful.
Your voice is calming & easy to listen to.
Brilliant presentation, I learned a lot, thank you.
really enjoyed 'birth of a nation'. thanks mate.
wow some story these guys have ... well told ty
We need underwater archaeology!
Wonderful work! Do you think it would be possible for you to have a Pueblo person on the channel to discuss their culture and heritage?
That would be a different video
I would do it though and I might, in the future
great content
i love this channel
Beautiful
That was awesome.
Great show
That image at 42:05 is my cup of tea. Artist? Nice presentation, great images.
"Spider Woman" by Susan Seddon Boulet
this is such a pretty video!
fecking awesome!!
YES!!!
First-time come across this Richard Weatherall BBC footsteps.. Andrew Drew
10:08 The Armijo Phase, cultivation of maize, took me by surprise. Thats my family name, and also have Pueblo in that side of the family.
Beautiful, Nick, but my sounds not working. I'll be back after rebooting
Perhaps in future refer to the ancestral Puebloans ("puebloans" is itself a misnomer) as "Hisatsinom". The other ancient desert southwest peoples like the Zuni have their own names for their ancestors, which unfortunately I can't find information on, at this time.
Amazing! Thank you. There is an emerging technology used in dating glacial erratics. It is truly revolutionary. It is called cosmogenic nuclide dating. It will certainly become an important tool in archeology for dating any stone construction or stone carving. I suggest to anyone interested to investigate and decide for yourself whether I am at all correct. I welcome intelligent comments. You get to decide what intelligent discourse is for your self. Thanks, Joe
For a moment I thought it said pub loans.
Hello history lovers Happy New Year 🥳 y'all
Fact Check: THere is abundant proof of pre-Clovis Indigenous people in America. Heiltsuk tradition tells of a village on the coast that Euro scientists said was under ice - but archaeologists found a village there 14,000 years old 0 older than Clovis. That shows we are right about our history. There are sites like Bluefish Caves in Yukon that is over 24,000 years old and has withstood testing and retesting for decades now. Cuevo Chiquihuite in Mexico has artifacts more than 20,000 years old. Cactus Hill in Virginia returned artifacts with carbon dates going back at least 18,000 years.
What part of you are on a Black planet, don't you understand? I'm fascinated by the fact that a group of people who have no natural origins believe that they are qualified to tell Black people ie a group of people who literally sprang from reality all about our beginnings. Laughable at best.👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽

What part of you are on a planet of apes don't you understand?
Wasn't there a mass exodus from the flagstaff, AZ area about 1,000 because of the volcano?
And widespread degradation of natural resources supporting an increasing population during a multi-decade drought as some continue to live privately in pueblos in New Mexico often closed to outsiders during ceremonial times. Whenever I travel, I visit the roadside stands and directly support the local residents and while enjoying a mutton fry bread taco, I’ve learned that silence and a nod often opens a door. I also pick up locals hitchin a ride with a bag of grocery’s and take the bumpy dirt roads all the way to their home on the Rez outside of Window Rock or Thoreau. Visiting the great falls on the Little Colorado I didn’t stop + park in the lot as a handful of locals were passing a bottle wrapped in a paper bag as alcohol+indigenous don’t mix very well
They were great climbers
could you give a list of the literature you used please? at best one good title?! thanx!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have 12ac of land in the high Mojave desert transition zone pinyon/juniper woodland interspersed with yucca,sage+Joshua tree. After a wildfire burned all the natural vegetation, I began to find old manos, pinyon nut cracking stones+a mortero flipped over that I was going to use in a fire pit circle of stones. There is a spring in a ravine close by now subsurface and unique granite rock formations and expansive views to the north and the east and this location was a location where the indigenous stayed as they followed the seasonal harvest of native flora and abundance of fauna before moving into the pine forests in summer and down to the forks of the Mojave River whenever the snow flew in winter several millennia past.
Unless your Native American, why would you attempt to process 'Native American ' landscape, they are not part of your heritage!

Your name sounds Native American. Wouldn't you want that hidden away?
In 1987/88 I worked for a Chinese guy and he told me that the tracks go west across Beringia into Eurasia and we are Asian ancestors. Asians are not Turtle Islanders ancestors. We followed the game across Beringia
The Navajo say they came from the east, across the plains. They say white man's version is false history. They didn't call themselves Navajo, they refer to themselves as Dinè.
Pre clovis artifacts have been found in Washington State, Georgia and Texas too, along with the footprintsin New Mexico. .
We know very little of what actually happened. A whole lot more deep digging needs to happen before we get any kind of picture. We know nothing any these pre clovis people.
You are right we were once known as the Apachu du Navaho, and once lived in tipis and hunted buffalo on the plains of Texas and Oklahoma
The Anasazi were basically Aztec's further north.
