Ancestral Puebloans
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 апр 2025
- 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!

The “Land of Enchantment” I am from Colorado, and lived in New Mexico for a while also. I fell in love with the native peoples, their culture and their food. My mother taught us to love and admire the native peoples. My first coloring book when I moved to New Mexico, was a coloring book of Katinas, my first sacred doll was in the image of the early Navajo women with their crinkled skirts and velvet blouses. I was 10 then, I wore out my first pair of moccasins and cried when my mother took them away because I had worn the soles completely through. I am 63 now and still I love the native culture and their beliefs. The Native Americans knew how to live in Harmony with the land and I will always admire their cultures and beliefs. Thank you for sharing this history with all of us. May the descendants of our native Americans live long and full lives may their clans grow and prosper. Native wisdom is a treasure too few know and the world could benefit from greatly.
I feel the same way.
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.
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!
I am Hopi. I haven't seen all the Pueblos. I have been some places. The life here on earth is beautiful and much to see and bring onto yourself the love of life. I see beauty and nothing more that can hurt me. Life is all around us and we are part of that life. The spirit is so important to hold us together. Be well. Take care
So well said. Beauty exists
Your words have touched me deeply. Thank 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!
i hope you keep doing that, some people would love to have masonry and adobe homes.
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
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.
A well-researched presentation of a complex and often controversial subject. Thank you for tackling it. -A former Mesa Verde ranger.
Where can I find more on the topic? I’ve heard they were doing black magic and witchcraft and dark stuff like that as well. And there were red haired giants with 6 fingers and 6 toes and would kill and eat you. Just like in genesis. And when Christians came over and told about the Bible and the giants and the flood, the natives smiled because they remembered the same stories were told to them by their ancestors! It is fascinating and I cannot find much else on the subject
@ I would love to purchase whatever it is that you’ve been taking.
I was born in Albuquerque and have Pueblo in me. It’s nice to learn about where I came from
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'm glad you're continuing what Nick started. This was really interesting. Thank you.
This is one of the best presentations I've ever seen. Great job keep up the good work
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)
makes sense. they could sail along the coast easily no doubt.
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
What happened to nick?
Wow. What a wonderful and detailed breakdown and retelling. Thank you!!
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.
Thank you for sharing your incredible respect for history.
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.
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.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video not only is it educational but beautiful.
Your voice is calming & easy to listen to.
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.
When you say Kewa- do you also mean Tewa? I'm from the Martinez clan and those ancestors married my native ancestors ( who talk to me since I was old enough to understand) Thank you for sharing
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.
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 🙂
there is a book called American Genesis by Jeff Goodman about this
Could be.
That Bering stuff is colonial bs 😂
@chile19275Stop with the dinosaurs 2😂
Excellent, thank you....I have recently visited Chaco for the first time and was amazed at the buildings. Also a superb visitor centre.
I would love a whole series on Hopi mythology
Same!!!
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 like how this reminds everyone that these are mostly hypothetical….. lots of questions and lovely conversation to be had
We are able to track the paths of migration now through DNA studies.
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❤
Great way to start the new year. Thanks for keeping SAMA going and all the best in 2023
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.
Well done. Descriptions,maps , etc. thank you.
A beautiful and fascinating documentary.
Very well done! Thank you!
Heck yes, amazing stuff y’all.
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
@@loganmartinez2566RUclips bans those channels. We gotta stay with university academia and it's ideas and books they charge us money to be lectured from since the late 1800s.
There's even some evidence of Neanderthals using boats!
Here's a literal map of early human migration. 24:56.
Don't know what inspired your comment, doesn't really seem pertinent to the context of video.
I bet you're a spam bot?
Still can't figure out what the heck your talking about.
They certainly could build boats. It’s interesting that the same Clovis points that are found here are also found in France. But all the natives crossed across the land bridge. Yeah right.
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
Watched a few vids about the ancestral pueblo and this is by far the best
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.
Thank you for an informative, entertaining video! It seemed to be created with heart, and respect...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So proud to have the blood of these people, thank you for doing this….just incredible.
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.
I'm quite familiar with the Pueblo peoples, lived in Grants, NM, and worked in PR for the Acoma Tribe in the 90s.
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.
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.
*Very good.*
Thank you.
*Let the Sunshine In.*
Wow great work!
This was simply excellent. Thank you! Much, much more complex that I had ever dreamed of. From Texas!
I love their architecture so much! It has so much beauty they way they are built.
This was such an amazing video! Thank you for making this! Great work!
Beautiful video. Your channel is a gem.
That image at 42:05 is my cup of tea. Artist? Nice presentation, great images.
"Spider Woman" by Susan Seddon Boulet
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.
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.
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 ..."

Incredible documentary. Thank you
Great documentary. Thank you for the research and for posting it.
That was a great presentstion. I thank you for it!!
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!
Haplogroup B is a Lemurian DNA it is very ancient has ties all over pacific.
Great presentation! ❤
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?
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.
No they aren't Ojibwa have haplogroup X DNA it is not older than the Haplogroup B bloodline found in Southwest USA. Ojibwa is one of the earlier migrants to America from Atlantic. There bloodline is connected to various parts of Europe and Asia and Africa. The haplogrpup B is from South Pacific much older
We have all been migrating around this Biosphere since time began long ago!
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
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
Beautiful, Nick, but my sounds not working. I'll be back after rebooting
Its so amazing how people learnt to survive back then we sure have it easy these days
Got it, had to reboot 👍🏼
Great episode, thanks a lot!
Brilliant presentation, I learned a lot, thank you.
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.
wow some story these guys have ... well told ty
really enjoyed 'birth of a nation'. thanks mate.
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.
The Anasazi were basically Aztec's further north.
@6:10, absurd that we must rely on physical evidence of coastal migrations when sea levels are 300-400 feet higher than during end of ice age ie different coastlines entirely

Greetings from the BIG SKY
That was awesome.
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
New research is challenging the theory of the bearing straight. The Navajo are a group of people that separated from ancestral culture's and traditions, as well, were known to adopt others into their new found following of the beauty way. Hozho
this is such a pretty video!
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!
@@dennisgregoire7706I’m 100% non indigenous yet I’m a card carrying member of the Native American Church in good standing.My 12 ac refuge + surroundings in the high Mojave is my church where I provide water for wildlife from my off-the-grid solar well💦🐯⛰️
We need underwater archaeology!
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?
Great show
@0:59 Please provide something to back up your claim that the dating of the footprints in New Mexico have been "heavily contested".
There's a response paper with legitimate concerns about the radiocarbon reservoirs used to date the footprints. WaPo covered it after the original authors provided a second publication with additional indepedent evidence.
could you give a list of the literature you used please? at best one good title?! thanx!
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
So a couple of things you have here in your video actually contradict the oral history of the Navajo themselves.
According to the Navajo, they were originally called the Dinetah, when they arrived in the 4 corners area about 2000 years ago they actually arrived from the east and they encountered the "cliff dwellers" who are the Ancestral Puebloan people who were living in the area at the time.
It was after the Navajo arrived that the Anasazi then arrived in the region and built Chaco Canyon, and they caused a lot of tension with the Ancestral Pueblo people and enslaved many of them.
When the Puebloan people finally expelled the Anasazi from the region, they formed various groups such as the Hopi, Zuni and others.
It is for this reason that people confuse the Ancestral Pueblo and Anasazi as being one and the same, and it is for this reason that many tribes believe they are descendants of the Anasazi because at one point they were a part of the Anasazi until they broke off.
Now I'm not saying this is all 100% correct, but I mean it's important to take into the consideration the amount of detail that went into passing oral history down by these people. Had they not, they would not know farming, architecture or anything! So I believe we should give some merit to oral history, especially when it is as detailed as the Navajo's are, but I believe evidence to the accuracy of their oral history can be found at Chaco Canyon, the Navajo claim the Anasazi were quite violent, and we have physical evidence of that found at the Chaco Canyon ruins.
So the Dinetah arrived from the east? From where in the east? And where did the "Anasazi" come from? I had thought that Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Bandelier, Pueblo Puerto, Mimbres, were all considered early Puebloan people. Perhaps I have this backwards in my memory..? I also had the notion that the word "Anasazi" was a *Navajo* word that basically meant "ancient ones". I think I heard that at Bandelier Monument.
Sorry for the long rant, I just love this stuff.
From my understanding, the Navajo claim to have arrived from either the Dallas area or possibly even as far East as Florida! Their oral history says that when they arrived in the 4 corners area (roughly 2000 years ago) the Pueblo peoples were already living in the region and so the cliff dwellings and even some settlements out in the open were constructed by them, and they are the ones referred to as ancestral Pueblo.
The Navajo claim that the Pueblo people were very peaceful with one another and there was peace between the Dineh and the Pueblo.
When the Anasazi arrived, their trade economy was centred on slavery and so because the Navajo were well organized and numerous, they were essentially left alone. However, the Ancestral Pueblo people were a target for the Anasazi slave trade.
I had thought the same as you about the meaning of Anasazi, but the Anasazi were the newcomers to the area and only inhabited the region for around 300 years (somewhere around 800 -1100 ad). So the Navajo and Ancestral Pueblo are actually more of the "ancient ones". I believe the "Ancient Ones" is a corrupted term, as the Pueblo peoples held in captivity formed new tribes after the collapse of the Anasazi, those cultures refer to the Anasazi as their ancestors or "ancient ones" and I believe this is in part because their oral history would have been almost forgotten as they were held as captives and slaves and no longer able to recite their history prior to the Anasazi, but the Navajo certainly do not consider the Anasazi as their ancient ones.
The Navajo claim that after about 300 years since the arrival of the Anasazi, a large storm, possibly a hurricane, was so devastating to the region that it caused a lot of destruction and the Anasazi water sources to dry up or be destroyed and that because of this, the slaves revolted and this led to the collapse of the Anasazi.
My personal belief is that the Anasazi came from the South, possibly as far as somewhere in modern day Mexico. Cannibalism and slavery were quite common among some ancient cultures in Mexico, so it would seem that they were in some way influenced by these cultures either having been part of one or having traded with them.

Cameras were invented in 1816....so these images of people were from that era or later.
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
Different navajo families will tell you different things. Regardless their bloodline traces back to Siberia. They have haplogroup A. Different from Pueblo Natives who have haplogrpup B. Doesn't mean they aren't part of indigenous bloodline just that they are mixed with those who migrated through Siberia.
