  • Andrew…my late mother was an archeologist in these areas. I recognized where you were. It hit me like a lead balloon- in your intro you were talking about “a snapshot of the Native people’s lives”. Exactly what my late mother used to say when she returned from her journeys. We have no idea (really) whatsoever what those events were like that changed their lives on a dime! She sometimes she would just sit down at our kitchen table and cry. 😢 😢 The gratitude and appreciation/love ❤for the ancestors of our Native Tribes out here in the Southwest, and understanding what they must have endured, would weigh on her heavily. She was super respectful and honored everything she came in contact with and experienced- it all came with a consciousness of the people were truly amazing pioneers. Much like what you film, say and do! I have the utmost respect for you, Andrew, and all your work. 😊 Thank you for sharing a part of your life with the all of us. You’re truly an amazing person.
  • I would like to say. I am first nations and ive been watching your videos for a while. It seems like sometimes the energies and spirits from the past guide you to show you areas knowing you are respectful and proper
  • Thank you for knowledging that us modern Pueblos still are thriving and are stronger than before.
  • My Dad explored the Southwest just as you are doing, in his younger years. He had a theory that cannibals had come into the area and killed off groups of tribes due to the fact he'd found a couple of what he called "burial mounds" with several skeletons and the skulls were crushed in. This was back in the 1960's and 70's. Due to the fact you mentioned the tribes coming up from Mexico were cannibalistic, this lends some truth to what he found. It makes sense that the peoples in the area were forced into hiding in such extreme locations as that hidden cliff. As always, love your content. Stay safe!
  • I love your appreciation for that fact that isn't just history but real people with real lives and all the circumstances that led to their lives on the cliffs
  • It makes me realize we are all the descendants of survivors, that endured wars, famine, climate change, and conditions unimaginable to modern humans
  • @heaven3021
    I've got to agree,with the last comment. The spirits are always around. They have kept u safe. With no dog with u,there is something that protects u from dangers. Thank u for showing us these beautiful places.hike on!!!
  • @kennyw871
    These cliff dwellings are mind-blowing feets of mental courage and physical endurance. I have nothing but total respect and admiration for the First Nation people and their ancestors.
  • @Troutay
    Thank you for bringing me to places I can never physically go. First: I am afraid of heights. Second: I am too old. Love your channel!
  • @SWatson410
    Early tribes often found water sources by observing the wildlife. If you're patient and observant, there are plenty of signs that will guide you to resources.
  • @meimei295
    As a descendent from the Anasazi this was extremely interesting. Your presentation and exploration were respectful to my people; thank you.
  • @angryshrub1
    That’s not a “No fall zone”, that’s a no thank you zone. I appreciate you showing me something I would never have seen otherwise.
  • I wish I could adequately express how much I love this channel. Thank you!
  • @eblair12
    One of my favorite educational channels. Like I am walking with an Archeologist and Historian. So respectful yet willing to go to great length to show every detail of your findings. You Share what you read and others you have talked with. Thank You
  • @nv1493
    I've always thought of the energy that surrounds these special places. Your respect and objectiveness is refreshing.
  • Although the fact that I am watching the video indicates that you didn't die up there, I still find myself puckered to the max with butterflies in my stomach watching you walk along those ledges. 😅🤣😂
  • glad to see I am not the only one to jump on these videos and just like it before i watch it all 😂
  • @longlowdog
    Oh man, you are the master of giving folk sat in the comfort of their house basophobia. Until a random Youtube suggestion cropped up I had no idea these areas held so much human history. Thank you for educating an ignorant Scotsman. However you are perhaps the one Youtube content creator I would not like to accompany for a day. Regards from Scotland.
  • @Dr.Yalex.
    11:11 when you say “historically dwellings were entered from the top, but here it’s from the side” These are 2 completely different entrances! The one from the top is for maintaining climate in the dwelling. Entering from the side - is definitely for protection and isolation. Isolating villagers due to female issues or illness is also a strong possibility ❤ I love your videos thank you so much for posting❤❤
