    So glad to know you are writing a REAL history book to pass to the younger generation. So much wisdom and culture to be passed on!

    Fascinating to hear the Navajo tell their own story instead of it being interpreted and told by us outsiders.

    Great information, thank you! The Story about Weatherill getting the name wrong, the Beauty and Evil way, migration to Canada, emergence north of Durango, your work to find the date when the Big Dipper’s tail is straight, fascinating and brilliant! Thank you for keeping the stories alive!

    Thank you for allowing our bel9ved elders to speak their versions of the past. It was enjoyable and it makes sense. Sharing correct history is more powerful and positive for us as proud native peoples. I am not Navajo or Pueblo but I respect all good people what ever nationality you are. Get along and we can learn a lot from eachothers stories.

    If I ever win the lottery, I will make it my mission to help the Native Americans. They have suffered such abuse, had their lands stolen, cheated time and again, and they can't even get a decent water system on their reservation. It's shameful, just shameful.

    *My Great great... Grand-mother dating back to 1650 was a full blooded Native American, A Mohawk Indian.*
    The ancient people of south America down in Chili are considered to be Aboriginals, migrating from Australia as far back as 50,000 years ago.
    We also have evidence of ancient people in the Americas living on islands and using boats dating back about 18,000 years ago.
    Thank you for sharing with us.

    I believe the Diné people's interpretation of their own history. I am against misinformation regardless of where it comes. I'm looking forward to the day when I can step out of my dark society and come into the light of the bright New Mexico and learn from the Navaho people themselves. I want to volunteer my services and go through the ceremonies to become a free sovereign spiritual Dinétah.

    Vine Deloria s" red earth white lies" opened my eyes to the blatant lies and supremacist nature of anthropology . The Dineh people have a fascinating culture, with great insights into the cultures of chaco canyon , Montezuma's castle ,and many others . I don't care what an anthropologist surmises I care what the indigenous elders of an area know . Current day Dineh country is amazingly beautiful . Look forward to your book .

    All across the Americas you run into many different tribes speaking slight variations of the same story on how life really was before the European invasion. My gut feeling tells me they add a-lot more truth about this lands history than what the academic consensus tells us today. We should always take everyone’s account before deciding what the truth probably is.
