- The Hopi Reservation is a remote place surrounded by the larger Navajo Nation and the much larger United States. Many Natives look at their tribe as their nation and in this case, the Hopis are in a way, on an island. Join me and local Lehauli as we learn about one of the most remote, fascinating, and unknown tribes in America. It definitely felt like I entered another country.

Dear Santenellos, you made part of my dream come true, of my curiosity of the OGs of America and their current way of life, wondering if I could visit and meet them. This was and is the best series I've watched. Thanks to you and your team, and to the First Tribes who welcomed you and gave us a real glimpse into their world. All the way from India, wish you all a good year ahead.
💜
I was there in the late 90's.
SUB 👍
Go to Wisconsin and visit the tribes who have casinos actively generating profits for there members
When I was in grade school, we were studying the Southwest Native tribes. I wrote to the Hopi Nation asking for information about them. And got a package sent to me at my school. Books, letters, etc. One of my best memories. And now I live in Arizona!
That's so cool. I could only imagine as a kid receiving something like that must have been an amazing experience!
That's pretty cool!!!
That's pretty cool. Someone did that when I went to Isleta Pueblo Elementary as well. I think the school people came around and asked us students to put something into the box for them that was from our culture.
Welcome to Arizona Caren! I’m not Hopi or Navajo; but I was born in Flagstaff. One of my good friends (met in high school) was a Navajo guy. Have a great day!
Thanks!
That dude is happy to share his culture. I love this attitude. Just a sample of his great culture.
That is the very essence of _Hopi._
Well said 💯☯️
He looks like a black man instead of a Indian
@@terryevans898 Lehauli does _not_ "look" African.
'Indians' are from India.
He looked tweaked out.
My late boyfriend has told me a few stories about him and culture of being a Hopi. He unfortunately passed away from Pancreatitis Cancer two years ago. I really appreciate you making this video. Makes me feel so close to him . Boy I sure do miss him w much love . 🥺
I took a trip from Canada to flagstaff a few years ago with the intention of exploring the desert and avoiding all tourist attractions. I drove to the middle of nowhere and parked my car. Grabbed my backpack and walked in the desert to camp for a week. During my wandering deep in the desert I came across a elder Hopi. He was so surprised to see me out there let alone a white man. He called me a crazy white man for camping in the middle of nowhere. We talked for sometime. He told me some history of his people and the history of the Hopi and some of their history with the Navajo. What an amazing man. I asked if I could take a picture of of him and he declined. Instead he gave me a necklace of his neck and as he put in me saying some words in Hopi and wished me safe travels. He went one way around a huge Mesa and and I sat there for a bit reflecting on a chance meeting. My trip to Arizona was truly an experience I will not soon forget. He was truly a beautiful human being.
Wow! What a remarkable experience. I bet you felt like a time-traveler!
Hopi believe that Pahana will come and they will help Him to clean the Earth. May God bless them.
My heart swell Thank you
So happy to see my tribe being represented! There is so much that is special about being Hopi and this makes me so proud.
I read once about yout language. It was wery interesting.
💓
I live in Arizona and would like to visit and learn about your people, and help if I can, how would I go about doing that?
Yay you hopibro!!
@@catfishrob1just come visit. We are very welcoming. We just ask that you please be respectful when entering our villages.
In 1979, I was passing through Hopi and was invited to the top of Second Mesa for the Corn Dance. I felt like I was on another planet. I can't describe how it felt. It was almost as if the people were of another reality. It was so awesome. I have been back two or three times since but that ceremony was powerful.
Hopi is not a location right? I am confused bc you said 'passing through Hopi'.
@@bthny1116as passing through the Hopi reservation
Amazing!! Truly you are blessed ✌️
@@bthny1116 That is how they referred to their reservation.
How can a pahana(white guy) attend a Kachina ceremony? It's not entertainment. It's a religious ceremony. Do I just contact Hopi and hire a guide?
My grandpa helped build the hospital. My mom lived on Hopi reservation for a couple of years. We have many beautiful kachini dolls and other relics that were given to my grandparents while living there. I remember my grandma telling me she trusted Hopi far over white people after living there. What a beautiful place to see after hearing all the stories. When you passed the hospital I cried with happiness to see it with my own eyes. Thank you so much for this video❤
I worked at the Hopi Health Care center- fascinating land of the Hopi's
Beautiful memories. Thank you for sharing.
I trust s hopi as far as i can throw 1
Powerful medicine men though
As a middle school U.S. History teacher, these videos on the Reservations and on Appalachia are teaching me so much anthropological history of our country and its done in such a great way. Thank you for these videos. You're doing a great job.
Absolutely !! I've learned such a lot !! Love the channel and thank you, Peter !! Next, PLEASE !!
YES, thank you, Peter !! I am SO enjoying this series and have learned a lot !!
What he said❤
It's great to see someone from the education system acknowledging the content where kids can learn about. I hope the Native American history and the true history about how they were suppressed can continue be on our textbook and social media so people can learn from it.
I am an elder member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska but living in the Chicagoland area. I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate what you are doing with this project. The earth needs all of it's people to keep it going, and you are respectfully building bridges. I am especially thankful that you go to the source to get information because without true source-focused information is how rumors, gossip, and fear are spread. Thank you for exercising due diligence and in such a respectful way. Pinagigi (you did good for me) 🌹❤️
I'm here in chicago too. My granny said we are Cherokee and Blackfoot tribe and mixed with black. Much love
I once rode in a Winnebago. That practically makes us family
So I'm adopted, my moms adopted, and my grandmother was adopted. I'm Almost 40% native. My mom was 50 tlingit and my dad was 25 winnebago..
Societies have been getting wiped out and replaced for at least 16,000 years.
@@Fireslanga1 likely false. Those are the two most assumed ties and rarely comes up to be true.
Just want to thank every single Tribe who welcomed us in to your lives. We are all so grateful you allowed Peter in so we all could catch a glimpse of your Tribes stories.
This guy and xiaomanyc are opening up the world to allot of people, thank you Peter for blessing the rest of us with what you've been allowed to see and share and a big thank you to the nations for your kindness and generosity....it reaches a deep deep place in my heart like my heritage
JESUS, IS THE BEST!
REAL LOVE AND TRUE
HAPPINESS, WHEN,
WALKING WITH ,JESUS.
@@ben8405 yeah I'm sure all those kids forced in to boarding school is thankful "Jesus" allowed them to be tortured and forced to "love" him. This isn't about Jesus. Move along.
@@elizabethlemke6058 what a cute 12 yr old take on reality. “Jesus” was hijacked and used by the church to conquer. You got it just as twisted being just as obsessed with “Jesus” 😂
Why not bring up the name of the pastor that called to arms or the individuals that led those acts?
@@CoercedJab oh I hold them all responsible. Lol
The natives of america really deserves more. They are the true americans.
So happy to see my nephew on ur channel
What a charismatic guy!! He’s so excited to show you his culture and people. That is extremely wholesome. That guy definitely has a bright future.
What culture did we see?
Actually this guy his little young he needs to get he needs to learn a lot of things like he's talking about her Navajo came from Alaska and how his people are the First on Earth he needs to do a lot more research and get a lot more educated cuz he's missing a lot of things it seems like he has too much pride and is missing out on a lot of facts
I just guessed that the same reason people might not used computers as much early on, is similar to the concept of a picture will steal your soul.
@@gretchenk.2516 so you can’t answer my question ? Great teacher
@@dylanmurphy9389 If you had been paying attention you would not have had to ask that question, as he mentioned his tribe many, many times over :(
Thank you for this video, fellow Hopi here. Walpi, First Mesa to be exact. Its so fun to see my home from a different POV. This was a great glimpse of our world. I've lived out on Hopi basically my whole life from Headstart, grade school, high school, and even 2 semesters of college. You learn to adapt and know how to have fun in a place like this, but the culture is what also helps you to keep going and give a sense of purpose to life. But I now live in Flagstaff, AZ as i needed to explore more of what this world has to offer. One thing I'll never take for granted is calling this place my Home. Being a Hopi to me means being humble, appreciating your surroundings like all of the land and other creatures that live on it, helping family and friends, and being involved with the culture. Like they said in the video, covid really did impact a lot of things, this year alone our village is starting to do regular scheduled ceremonies, as of Feb. we are currently having the renewal of our katchinas (katsinas, the proper way to say it) is when the spirits return from the San Fransisco Peak in Flagstaff. Thats why we as people don't ever make efforts to go to the Snow Bowl Resort, just because it is that sacred to us. Its also true many elders have passed and that always makes my heart heavy, because there was so much knowledge that just disappeared. So in a sense many of us are clinging onto what we still have. Yes, we are a maternal type culture, its kinda crazy to think someone like me plays a big role just keep our clan alive. (as someone who is terrified of child birth, its scary to think about in a way, but one day when im truly ready) But there are so may stories to tell, i cant even fit everything i want in this comment. We as native people are all connected in one way or another. Even if people have beef, we learn something from one another, just never forget your roots. I would like to end it with We are here, we are still alive and we are still doing our best to preserve the culture. Thank you everyone for all these kind comments, I never would have expected 1 million+ people being intrested in our very small corner of the world. Askwali Peter, keep doing what youre doing, I can tell you have a good heart! Askwali eveyone! Never take anything for granted.
Will you visit Mexico?
That was a beautiful, heartfelt comment to read. I wish the best for you and yours.
I just stumbled onto this vid and have subscribed to both Leihauli's channels and Peter's.
@@nicolearchambeau8744 You can see far. But we may pull out.
Greetings from Germany, really nice comment, your culture is both fascinating and I am taking great care to teach my children the reality and history of how the peoples of the Americas, and as much as anywhere else in the world, are diverse and necessary to protect.
you wanted to explore what this world has to offer and you landed on flagstaff? LOL
Lori Piestewa was a Hopi Soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice early in the Iraq war. Her name has been immortalized with the renaming of a mountain to Piestewa Peak.
This is probably my favorite episode you've done. Lehauli did an amazing job hosting you. Such an amazing, genuine man.
That guy was so friendly. So thankful that he let us into his culture a little bit.
right! I want more!
@@desirebooke6518 Live / work among the Hopi, gain trust with sincere respect.
Tiwa Native tapping in.
Shout out to all our indigenous and Pacific relatives.
Any native people who have retained their culture and ancient ways is absolutely fascinating to me.
And none have lost more than native Europeans.
Wow, in 1985 I was standing in the Hopi village that you visited. It was truly one of the most incredible and special experiences I've ever had. The reason that I had the experience was I with an Anthropology class from Pasadena College visiting the Navajo and Hopi along with other sites including Canyon De Chelly. I had one experience that was very special. Watching you two walking out to the end of the mesa was surreal for me. I went out there alone and gazed over the land, while doing so I looked down over the cliff and noticed what looked like old structures, when I got back to the others I asked one of the elders what I was seeing at the bottom of the cliff. I was told that before the Navajo came the Hopi lived everywhere on the land, not just the mesas. So, yes!!! The Hopi were the original people of the land. One last thing I want to share is when I was there, outhouses use to overhang the cliff. Guess they are all gone now.
As someone who's lived near the Hopi I can say they are INCREDIBLE !
This is an actual blessing to be able to hear about this culture. RESPECT TO HOPI!!!!!! 🙏🏽
Wayyy better than the navahoes 🤢
💐
I love this young man's enthusiasm to keep his tribe and their heritage alive! Thank you for letting us see a glimpse of your life. We owe a lot to these tribes and I don't blame any of them for not trusting outsiders! Bless you all❣️
This dude is from the island of Chuuk, an outsider, what are you talking about?
He's a sell out if he wanted to keep his tradition alive he wouldn't have taken them to our sacred places
@@daveyd0071 truth
@@marissakewanwytewa4813 i call these imposters out at any moment here on the tube.
@@daveyd0071 Are you 100%?
Have you spent every day of your life on Hopi?
Several years ago I took a drive across the three mesas of the Hopi. You almost feel as if you are on another planet up there. It is a truly special place.
Thank you, Hopi people for being dedicated in praying for the world. Beautiful people!
When he said he was Hopi mixed with Chuukese! Our Pacific Island people are everywhere ❤ Much love brother
The thing that stood out to me most was learning that the Hopi people think of and pray for the world. Now that people understand who and where you are, those prayers are being returned seven-fold. Blessings to you all. Happy New Year!
Y’all didn’t know about the Hopi until this CZcams content…. Bruh 💀
@@CoercedJab ikr
One Native American who has a radio show in MN says Native issues are Human issues and Human issues are Native issues. Makes sense.
@@CoercedJab I think some Americans like you and I know *of* the Hopi. I didn't know much about how they live or their philosophies. Have you ever seen CZcams videos where the host asks people on the street questions like, "what continent is the USA in?" and the people don't know the answer? You can't assume everyone even inside the USA knows much about these indigenous tribes, let alone the rest of the world where Peter's audience resides.
@@ToeTag1968 Good response and I pray for the world every day!
i lived on the hopi reservation for 3 years while working at the critical access hospital there. One of the most fascinating times of my life; they are an amazing group of people, it genuinely feels like you are living in an alternate reality on their reservation. Def blessed to have been able to experience this
I really enjoy the Natives explaining how they feel about us and what they’re like to be called. Thanks for the education and showing the problems that they face that are unlike any we encounter. Very enlightening and well done!
I am Navajo/ Diné and have much respect because I am doing research on all of our tribes on Turtle Island. ❤ Much love & respect 🪶🪶🪶
Oh man! I didn't expect there to be a Hopi one! I am Hopi, and as Lehauli described through my mother and her maternal lineage, we do follow that way. I am also Dine(Navajo) on my Dad's side, but I always introduce myself as a Hopi first. my Family is the snake clan (Tsu'yam) from Polacca (by first Mesa/Walpi). It's awesome to see this series and how he allows representatives of each culture to show him around. As Lehauli described it is a very different world and it always feel that way when I go back. It's a funny thought when I see a brand new Lexus or 3500 Dually trucks new cell phones while just 1.5 hrs north of Holbrook or Winslow there is the world your family comes from, an ancient way of beliefs and a tough way of living, yet we take pride of how much we appreciate it and try our best to keep it going. There is alot he didn't film and yes it is like that, there's so much more to our culture that you would have to have hours and days to learn about it. The dances are open to visitors but there is no filming. Glad to see many of the other tribes and non-native folks commenting on these videos, it's very heart warming to have your humble culture appreciated. very insightful too, because there is only so much I ever learned about the other tribes that I found in books or short videos, but this is very direct. Definitely looking forward to more!!!
I wish one day that I will be able to listen directly from your elders your true history and your stories passed down from time immemorial, and witness first-hand the understanding and wisdom gleaned from millennia of oral history. I have deep respect for your people.
Watch out for the Mudheads!
Because of the respect on moving to Tuba City, shown by all Elders from Navajo Hopi & Apache. My Great grandfather was Real Dr. From Europe. He traveled far to reach as many as the Government would allow. When push came to help he relied on Nature to help. Was surprised he went and testified against many Officials who pocketed money at Natives expense. Still to this day American Natives are still not treated fairly. Whenever I can voice my concern. BLM especially has taken much not even putting the First People 1st. At my age, I really wish others would see the truth
Peace, Love with Harmony sent.
All my respect, thankyou for sharing about the Hopi with us. ✨❤️✨
My friend and I visited 3rd mesa once in the late afternoon. It was so quiet and beautiful and we say a rainbow..... It felt timeless.
Hello, I am from the Cree tribe in treaty one territory in Manitoba, Canada.Thank you for this video, as I didn't know too much of the USA brothers and sisters, much love and respect.
Jaden genuinely seems like such a cool kid I hope he and his cousins are doing great, his camerawork is awesome and I'm just rooting for this guy and his dogs, i hope you still keep in contact with them every once in a while!! Alhamdulillah for the chances you have been given and may Allah swt reward you for your kindness and gentle soul
My grandmother studied archeology and anthropology at UCLA in the 50s And did most of her field study in the Hopi Nation She became lifelong friends with people who ended up being tribal elders 35 years later! I was then giving a once in a lifetime chance to spend a weekend there with my Grandparents and witnessed Ceremonies that maybe 100 people in the last 100 years outside of the tribe have. The summer after they took me Mesa verde, Chaco canyon and other spots and because of other friends she had I was actually allowed inside The Taos pueblo. I legitimately feel like one of the luckiest people in the world and those experiences changed my a entire life outlook and that was at 12 and 13yo
Thank you for sharing your experiences!
As a Coloradan, I have been to Mesa Verde, and man, that place is a sight to behold.
Not surprised you felt that way. I was in the area in 1995 and felt incredible respect and reverence for the Hopi.
What a wonderful experience. I spent a lot of time in Taos Pueblo, as a tourist and later a guest.
Wow... thanks for sharing. I always believe that those that are open to others' experiences and cultures, are recognized and welcomed 😊
I am Dine and I have total respect for the Hopi people.
@@oberon1007 God bless you's
Same ❤
Same
Same here.
Is Dine the same relation as Dene in northern Canada ?
Watching this immediately after Peter's trip to the NC Appalachia mountains...crazy difference! The best part though, is how the people of each place he visits is very welcoming and proud to show the land they love!
Peter, thank you for presenting these videos & educating many of us, young & old. You are a true journalist, not a nosy reporter looking for prestige or an award. You give respect and have also gained it! Don't lose your heart and keep on doing what you do! It's appreciated by many!
I’m fascinated with the Hopi. I appreciate the need for shielding their intimate cultural aspects and identities. Again, Peter, I appreciate YOU for taking us on this journey!
I just wanted to share my gratitude for the Hopi nation, holding the balance for all people on earth. Thank you for keeping the wisdom.
Hola Peter
I'm from Mexico
E estado viendo las entrevistas que les estas haciendo a nuestros hermanos en Nuevo Mexico Y Arizona
Y digo hermanos porque nuestras tribus que existieron en Mexico Aztecas Mayas bineron del norte Alaska muchas tribus
Emigraron desde Alaska asta Centroamérica mucho antes de la colonización Española en busca de tierras donde sembrar o donde establecerce y después cuando fueron amenazados por el ejército las que se habian quedo en Norteamerica se volvieron a desplazar
Al norte de México hay aún algunas reservaciones de kikapus, Apaches
En Sonora hay otras recervaciones, no recuerdo los nombres
Pero no solo nos une la historia, todo tiene un proceso
Ahora nos une un mismo Dios el creador de todo el universo
El que creo el sol
El que creo la luna
El que dueño del ci elo las estrellas la naturaleza los animales
Hermanos se tiene que trascender, es decir nuestras conciencias ya no son las mismas
Con el más debido de los respetos
La seguir manteniendo sus lenguas esta bien su cultura está bien
No hay nada de malo
Pero su espíritu tiene que trascender
Nosotros en Mexico no olvidamos nuestra cultura Azteca o Maya
Pero nuestra espiritualidad cambió, porque entendimos que hay un solo Dios todo poderoso
Si yo se que existe un Dios todo poderoso
Que es el creador y dueño de todo
Asta nuestras almas
Porque me voy a aferrar a pedir a algo menor
Yo se que la forma en que se los an enseñado no a sido la correcta
Pero hay un Dios todo poderoso que los está esperando
Porque son sus hijos
Y esta muy triste junto con si madre la Virgen Maria
Que es madre de todos de ustedes hermanos y que los ama mucho y los cuida aunque ustedes no la conozcan aun
Te felicito
Peter
Porque haces que conozcamos a nuestro hermanos aunque sea por vide
Dios los bendiga❤❤❤
@@mirnagomezrubio9818 I feel very sad for you.
@@tmcd6523 google translate exists.
True wisdom comes from God. They don’t have that.
@@Andrea-ek9cp I look out into the world, and see God everywhere in nature and well within the Hopi nation, who have passed their tradition down orally through generations. The books and scriptures I assume you read in search for God, were written by man (and heavily edited by the church councils). Sadly, they exclude a lot.
Hi Peter: Once again you did a wonderful interview. When I was watching the interview you did with the Navajo people I was saying to my wife: I would love to hear about the Hopi people. WOW, I am very impressed with the Hopi people. Since you were wearing a mask from time to time I was wondering how many Hopi folks got the COVID injections. We need these cultures thought to our children so they get a better understanding of ALL MANKIND and start to cultivate a sincere love for one another. I truly believe that day is coming. Your interviews are helping to move in that direction. We all need to be grateful for the interviews you have done with the various Tribes. God bless you. Dennis Kluver - Spokane, WA.
The sky & landscape are so incredible! The Hopi are masters of dry farming, arts & crafts! Well Done Peter❤🌻
My anthropology professor visited and studied the Hopi for over three decades, and as a result dedicated the entire class to the Hopi people. Love to see such a video from you!
My understanding is the the Pueblo are the same as Hopi. Is this correct?
Keep bringing these native tribe videos coming! Its sad that even as a person born in America the little they teach us about natives in school. I remember couple years back just learning about the pine ridge reservation on my own. I only knew pine ridge and navajo nation. Never knew there was so many more tribes out there
The educators want to keep many in the dark about native people along with the blacks. There is a lot of history look up the Sand Creek Massacre, then there was Wounded Knee Massacre. There are 574 tribes recognized federally, then you have state recognition and some tribes that are not recognized at all.
That is done to you on purpose. Part of the genocide playbook
@@voidremoved Whiteman does a lot of it.
I am from the Makah Nation in NeahBay WA. Our coast line is mainly native tribes and they're all over Wa, especially in the PNW. We have a lot of fun when we all get together for jam session's, pow wow and Canoe Journey. I love it here! It's so beautiful and culturally rich💜😁
If you haven't read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee I highly recommend it. This is what a highschool teacher handed me one day in class. It's a thick book. I have re read that book over 200 times. Not a single person had ever mentioned in school the torture of Tribes until that boom was handed to me. They are wiping out so much History within schools now, including the Holocaust. This is why my children are Homeschooled. My children will learn the truth, not what our Government wants them to believe.
Thank you for sharing this.
I first learned of the Hopi 4 years ago. I’ve heard about them but never learned anything about them until I watched the Hopi Prophesy. I could not stop watching… I watched and listened to the prophecy at least 30 times.
After that I decided to let go of the material path and follow Yeshua through the garden.
It’s been amazing, difficult and satisfying.
Today we walk with our hands open as we journey through the garden. Something Yah taught me;
“To walk through the garden you’ll need to walk with your hands open. If you take the material path you will have to walk with your hands closed.”
Those words are heavy and so true. It’s a faith and trust walk when you take the garden path.
Thank you Peter for going there to share the life of the Hopi people.
One day, Adonai willing, I’ll be standing with the Hopi people.
I love your program and always learn so much from it. I especially love how you let the people you visit speak for themselves. It's fascinating. Thank you to Hopi for sharing its culture and thinking about and praying for people around the world. If more people did this, imagine how much better this world would be.
omg dude from Eten in Hopi reservation? wow. Peter I wanted to suggest you consider making a few vids on the Pacific islanders in the US Compact territories, like Chamorros, Marshallese, Pohnpeians, Palauans, etc, and here out of an Arizona desert a Chuukese guy jumps up. Unbelievable.
There's also Tongan and Samoan mixed Natives in AZ. Here in Cali I know a family that's half Native and Palauan. Its definitely not unheard of.
@@ibestrokin that's pretty cool! Been across the Pacific islands a bit, twice in Chuuk, but must admit never imagined the connection to Hopi people while being there :-)
@@whiskeysk I see ur point. But in the indigenous communities, we're all very aware of each other. For example, some California natives have a word for Pacific islander that translates to English as "the big men". There are also shared words like the sweet potato, kumar and kumara. I myself, being of pueblo indian descent (Tiwa) have a distant Maori connection. I did a dna test and was surprised to distant relatives in Hawaii and NZ.
It's really beautiful how excited and proud Lehauli is to share the Hopi culture and history. You can truly sense how precious his heritage is to him.
I absolutely loved watching this series - I live in UK but this has given me such an awakening of the natives of America. Thank you so much for sharing their stories with the wider world. x
I thank you once again. At 83 years of age I am so happy to learn these truths about Native American tribes.
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 hope they can remain remote. It will be interesting to see how Native tribes persevere and maintain independence over the next century.
Now if only they could unite and overthrow our corrupt government Id support them ten fold

Also his money, not yours
@@ItsdaFittySimpthat is just a very shitty comment, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all!
Excellent job. Honest, respectful, and direct. I appreciate the openness of the people interviewed.
This Hopi man guiding you is great!
Lehauli’s face, beaming with joy to share with us all of the amazingness that is his tribe, so graceful and humble, thank you ever so much for allowing us into your land.
I agree! He seems like such a lovely person!
Good afternoon. I'm Zuni and proud of who I am as a Zuni Native. Just like your tribe, we're unique in our ways and thankful for having our Culture, Traditions, and our language. I'm honored to say that I believe in God and My Native ways. They help me to be a stronger Lady. It's sad to hear that some tribes are losing their traditional ways. I'm so thankful to God, Our Sacred Leaders and Kachinas for Our Way of Life. I sure would love to visit Hopi one day Thank you sooooo much for all the interesting information regarding your tribe. Many Blessings to all of you. 💞🙏🏻💞🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
Blessings to you also 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
With gentleness, only God gets all the glory in Jesus name❤️
Can Black people go in a indian reservation? Do the Indians reject people who aren't Indians from coming into the reservation?
I love this guys enthusiasm,, and pride.... 👍
Peter- Thank you for this incredibly insightful “interview” with this wonderful young man. I thoroughly enjoy learning about their way of life. What a beautiful soul he is. Much respect and you are appreciated! ❤
This young Man is full of life, such a sincere and kind individual. Thank both of you guys for showing us what you could, I truly appreciate it.
He shows the very essence of Hopi.
I work out in Polacca on the Hopi reservation as a first responder/flight nurse. Some of the kindest folks! And the history is always amazing.. the stories that they have shared with me and how they have opened their lives and culture. Glad you got to experience it too!
Mud 🦈
Are you Hopi?
I work at a hospital in Long Beach California I’m glad great people are getting the care they deserve thank you for your service to healthcare
Through your films you have made me understand more about the peoples of the world. Thank you for bringing this movie
It's really great that the native people respect you enough to come out and show us around and explain their customs, traditions and beliefs! It opens up cultures that has been closed off by the wrongs of our ancestors. I hope that the interactions you have with Lehauli and others might open up dialog and trust among all of us.
You can forgive but never forget the past!
I helped drive a truck from LA county to Navajo and Zuni reservations in 1972 to deliver supplies from churches to give to the people.
I’m Parrot clan. It was a wonderful surprise running across your channel. Your host was so passion, and loves his Hopi culture. Great shots of mother earth and father sky. Thanks for shredding a light onto our surviving people.
Thanks for sharing these special Hopi people with us!💜
Thank you for sharing this. Definitely captured something can’t put into words. Thank you Hopi. Stand tall! Much love.
Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience on your nation.
I’m a trucker that gets to drive through and sometimes I pick up loads on native lands throughout the west, and I always try to learn as much as I can about the people I’m visiting.
These videos go so much deeper in understanding the cultures of the First Nations. I now live on the Flathead reservation in Montana but I came from Maryland and before then I came from Poland. I kept up my Polish traditions including performing the traditional dances from Poland, so seeing these videos how people keep their native traditions is awesome. As a kid I learned about cowboy and Indians. But the centralized schooling never taught me anything close to what I’m learning now in these videos.
It is important for you Peter and all your hosts to continue to educate the world about the First Nations and their spirituality. Spread the love! I love the natives and their wisdom!
♥️🦅
💯
I’m watching from Ireland and I really appreciate the opportunity to get a glimpse into the life of Hopi tribe and to listen to Lehauli and his enthusiasm for his culture. The landscape is breathtaking and I can sense the history of the place. Thank you for sharing this with us. Love from Waterford Ireland ❤
Why don't you keep to your place you did a lot of evil in the world what about your landscape don't you like it
Thank you for your kind words. Blessings to the Irish ☘️
I think I might be irish
Peter needs to go to Ireland!
I loved when the kids joined you and lead you around. Such awesome people ❤
I am so fascinated by all of your videos! You are doing a great service to society! Thank you
Loved seeing this pop up on my timeline. I’m from the Hopi tribe; the snake clan. My family is from 2nd Mesa and still live on the Hopi reservation. I love that our culture is being shared. The rez will always remain my free happy place. I would visit every summer with my grandpa growing up to spend time with family; so many great memories as I grew up in Phoenix. I need to visit soon! ❤️ Askwali for sharing!
We must be cousins! I'm from 2nd Mesa as well
Was the Book of the Hopi by Frank Waters a good representation of your tribe?
Oh honey youre so beautiful those eyes are so glamorous and pretty ohhhhh baby ohhh hahaha almost made a mess over here 😂
I am Choctaw, from Oklahoma. I lived in the Southwest in my younger days and am pleased to see the breaking down of barriers. The country there is so beautiful, too, and I enjoyed that almost as much as learning more about Hopi.
Please let me know if I can contact you regarding a possible interview.
Your tribe gelped our people. The Irish. Thankyou fro. The bottom if my heart.
@@annaconway313 how ?
My Great Grandmother on my Mother’s side was Choctaw. I didn’t learn much about the Choctaw Nation growing up except my GG was a Boss. She was loving and tough
@@Webbgurl2000 The choctaws sent money to us Irish people in the great famine. Eternally grateful. We have statues dedicated to this great tribe
Lehauli is so welcoming and so nice, seems like the last true good person left! You are amazing Lehauli, thank you for teaching us about yourself and your people and for being so kind!
I am sooooo impressed and the passion he is talking about all the tribes and cultures caught me …awesome- Thank you!
As a native (Yoeme/Yaqui) here, It’s so refreshing to see a CZcamsr show, represent and explain the culture and struggles of Natives throughout the Country. Def should come down to Tucson or Guadalupe some time 😊
Just something to add to his comment about the ski resort “snow bowl”. I believe most of the controversy was over the usage of sewer water being used to make artificial snow, desecrating sacred ground.
That is so messed up, I heard about that. What a slap in the face. To think they went ahead and just did it anyway...
Ski the pee...I remember
@@charleygnarly1182 There was money to be made - and eventually the Snowbowl execs and managers (most of whom live and work in Phoenix) became rabid about the issue. We hand in there.
Most snow-making water is recycled water
@@glennhibben7757 well, there isn’t any new water….
8:48 the tumbleweed!! Never know where it will take you! Keep following your passions❣️
Thank you so much for all this insight. One of the best you tubers I've come across. Respectful and caring towards the people you interview.
I grew up in Arizona by a reservation and I still have really good Navajo friends n Hopi friends, They are very spiritual people and I love how in tune with nature! I have lots of respect for the natives, they know this land much better than we do n Mother Nature! They are truly awesome folks they always treated me with lots of respect for being white but that didn’t matter they excepted me for me, they told me I have lots of spiritual vibes in me, much respect to the natives 🤙🏼🙏🏼
Wow Peter - you are showing us a world we all should have been told about a long time ago! Thank you for your amazingly informative videos that just draw us in! Great work! KEEP DOING THIS MORE AND MORE!
I absolutely ❤ his enthusiasm and energy and pride for his culture! I live in Az City, Az and this is so cool to see!
Thank you so much!!
As a white fella who worked on the Hopi nation long ago this brought me to tears. I met incredible people, was welcomed into homes, and experienced joy and warmth.
Lehauli, you’re the man! Subscribed and excited to watch more of your videos.
Love from Seattle, this made my day
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?
@@davidmrodriguez8067
He said Seattle.
@@justme-dm7sb Good, so how is the weather over there with you?
Brought you to tears? Really?
@@olliefoxx7165 yeh fella, it’s been 20 years since I was in Hotevilla and Kykotsmovi. Good memories of friends and amazing places. Haven’t seen pics of any of the spots even since then. Sorry for being so controversial 😂
Thank you Lehauli and kids for giving us a glimpse of your life in the village!
Much love to all involved. Grateful to the host for their generosity and open-heartedness. Time for our farmers to learn - just saying. It's time to get more involved in the food that made us
This is a really good series and reveals a part of America that I had almost no opportunity for contact with during my previous, mostly Greyhound , tours through USA. Thank you for showing this, and thank you to your generous hosts, you do so in a respectful and open-hearted way, a lesson for all of us when visiting others' lands and cultures.
I would like to see more of this kid on videos. His energy is contagious. Thank you for the education.
Peter, you should see if you could visit a Canadian reservation and do a video on the similarities and differences between the them. I would suggest visiting a northern Saskatchewan or Manitoba reservation - where you can only get in during the winter via winter roads (Ice roads). You could also do a story on the 1000's of Ukrainian peoples that Saskatchewan has taken in because of the war (strong Ukrainian history in this province)
I have been across Canada, and I went to the, "Canadian County. I went to Canada, to see Saskatchewan At 15, just to figure out the story!!! I moved to Tecumseh, Oklahoma, and I lived near The North Canadian River, so I started going to Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Canadian and Delaware Indian sites. I went to school in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and now I live in; Medicine Park, The Holy City, Oklahoma, (Near Lawton). I am a Monk at St.Gregory's Abbey, in Shawnee. I have been with The Abbey for 46 years, and a Monk for 16 years. Brother James Kendall Moore OSB OFS OSC
Indeed I too am grateful for welcoming Peter and allowing this to be shared on you tube. ❤
Thank you Lehauli for inviting Peter and inviting us to Hopi. I am absolutely enamored by the love you have for the culture and for your people and to share it (within reason!). I definitely do not blame the Hopi for keeping many parts of your culture and your land secret, and I truly think thats such a smart and incredible way to preserve it while also preventing colonist perversion like you see with so many cultures.
I'm so thankful to have found this video and gotten to learn about you as well as learn about the teachings you've been given by your elders. I know that the Navajo Nation was hit bad with COVID and now knowing you're inside that I can't even imagine the effect it had on your community. From what I've learned in the past about how little in reparations they get from the government and how little resources you're given on the reservation. I know healthcare services can be difficult to access especially in the region Hopi and Navajo are in. I'm so sorry for the loss you all faced but I really hope that with your passion and determination you are able to take the lead and be one of the torches to pass on the knowledge. I know crime is super difficult to deal with out on the reservations and the convoluted nonsense the settler government has with the tribes makes it worse. I hope felt for that gentleman at the store, especially because he didn't think it would really make a difference with cops. I always wondered how tribes managed inter-community violence pre-colonization and i hope a lot of communities can find a way to merge it with the more modern social norms, because everyone on the rez deserves to feel safe on their native land!
Also thank you Peter! I've just stumbled upon your channel from your Whittier, AK video and as someone who has really wanted to become more knowledgeable about the Indigenous communities whose we live on I really am so thankful that you bring these first person experiences with people from the nations and tribes. I also really love that you are so respectful of ensuring you follow the boundaries about what you can film, and especially that tou ask for consent to be filmed (ESPECIALLY for children. People really need to start asking consent or even just blurring childrens faces out regardless. Kids cant really consent)
You've definitely gotten a subscriber from me and I look forward to watching the rest of your travels.
I grew up and still live in Arizona. 20 years ago I had a friend/coworker who was Navajo and had a daughter for the Hopi tribe. She explained to me how sacred and how closed off they are to the outside world and that because of their traditions she sent her daughter with her father once they were separated to allow her to grow up with the Hopi ways. I thought it was an amazing sacrifice as a mother for some things so secret and special.❤
Still waters run deep.
And yet, they know something very sinister happening in the world! He's felt it since Covid, and now we have Joe...
As a mother of 5, I know how painful it is to have to let go of a child.
Thank you tribal elders for allowing this. I wish you peace and love. ❤
Man, this is amazing. I'm so happy you were invited in
This is one of the most beautiful places I've seen on video. Respect to the Hopi people and Peter for sharing with us.
He’s so warm, thank you for welcoming us and educating us about your ancestors ❤
No Peter this can't be the end, You are just at the beginning of something very big.
Go GO GO on, we need to get this out into the open, we need to hear them tell us what's going on.
I say it again. You just started something very big and very important.
Ok Peter, may the FORCE be with you and give you strength. You are on a mission, Peter.
This is the best I ever saw on CZcams.
From me, love and respect.
Love this!! Thank you for bringing us into this beautiful way of life!
this guy seems like such a sweetheart. i'm so glad he reached out to you!
Thank you so much for this piece! I’ve actually learned something about my neighboring natives!
I’m Navajo and one thing that really intrigues me about the Hopi people is their women love to bake-my goodness!! I have a cousin who’s half Navajo and half Hopi and when she’d visit her paternal side in Second Mesa she’d always bring home (to our maternal grandparents) a lot of yummy baked goods like cakes, cookies, homemade bread, and my most favorite was the “piki bread!” Yummy!! Y’all Hopi’s are so awesome!!
Piki is grubbin!
Also parched corn, frybread, 'Navajo tacos'... .
Never got into much mutton stew, though, Too much frybread could make one a _frybread king._
@@-oiiio-3993 Yummy, as Salish coastal natives we have fry bread with salmon. I can relate to being a fry bread king. lol
Thank you to everybody that allows Peter, and therefore all of us, into their amazing and unique cultures. I feel I’ve gotten so much from all of these perspectives and stories. All of these people you interview and their stories are so special
This was wonderful to watch. I visted Arizona from Ireland in 2012 and gained a beautiful dream catcher hand made, I still have it hanging with pride. It is fascinating and beautiful to see the retention of culture x
Peter, as a Laguna Pueblo, Washoe, Karuk and Paiute I appreciate what you are doing. This is such a cool way to shed more light into different culture and it's done in a really respectful way. We are all one people and we have to take care of this Earth together.
Not many of you guys left. I love how the two people I met that were Pueblo told stories. It's sad there are so few left.
Gotta breed more to keep it alive
PAIUTTTTTTTTTTTE WASHOOOOOOOOOOOOOE MORMOOOOOOONS GOP! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah never terail of tears democrats who did slavery tooooo
It looks like sky City
I found it interesting that you are part Washoe. Living in Northern Nevada for the last 40 years I have found out a lot about the Washoe tribe. I am sure that you have herd of Dat-So-La-Lee, the famous Washoe basket maker. My wife's great grandparents moved down to Carson City from the Paradise Valley area (where we have a ranch) in the later 1800's. For a time in the late 1800's Dat-So La-Lee actually lived with them for a time.
How positive, encouraging, open, humble, strong, amazing this young man is.
Homeboy is Awesome!
