  • The grandmother is absolutely a National Treasure--what a sweet and gracious lady!
  • @yotoland2543
    Met a Navajo Code Talker in 2017. Amazing man who had tears in his eyes when I shook his hand and thanked him for his service. He thanked me for knowing that part of history. He died last year and I was so sad to hear that.
  • @martinbahena3648
    Thanks Peter for bringing us to these native lands. It's fascinating to know how each of these Tribes live, their traditions and their families. You gave us some good information. We've watched your episodes more than once or twice. We learn something new each time. thanks again.

    "The stupidest questions are the ones that aren't asked" - Nick. Amen!!
  • @realboltfan
    The guy being interviewed is a gem of a human. No hatred in his heart. Intellectual and pragmatic. If the world had more of these guys we would function far better.
  • The little girl murdered...her name is Ashlynn Mike. Prayers to her family and may she rest in peace. When Peter paused to hear the calm in the air and the beautiful sky, my only hope is that Ashlynn felt that peace and beauty as the ancestors came to take her home.
  • Grandma is a natural treasure❤️ What a life she’s lived.
  • I've watched 3 of these videos including this one. This has been very educational/informative & I personally think that the people involved in helping make these videos should be applauded. These videos should be part of the education of all North American schools as mandatory education. I would feel so privileged to meet & talk to any one of the people involved in these videos especially the Grandmother.
  • For a birth certificate contact your local US Congressman. He/She will ask her to talk in her native language and that is all is needed. I knew a Navajo woman in college who had this same problem, as she was born in a hogan and her birth was never recorded. There are no known people who can speak Navajo outside of the USA. So we are all Din'e, of the USA.
  • Nick nailed it... it's "liberal discrimination"... where the white liberal believes "you guys need to be recognized and we'll do that for you" ... "but we (Dine) have been through so much... we can figure it out ourselves." Very honorable view and wise.
  • Hey! Nick is a family friend of my siblings, such an awesome talented guy! So happy our culture and our land gets recognition!
  • @ironpandaloco
    Navajo Nation is proud and powerful. Much respect, Japan
  • @TrunkDaPhunk
    This is a great video. My in-laws and kids are Navajo. Video covers quite a bit….Religion, military tradition, boarding schools, tribal law, kinship, connection to the land, traditional teachings, current issues, and of course food. Thank you for being respectful and understanding. A lot of times non-Navajos come on the rez and forget that they are guest.
  • Not very many people take the time to interview natives like you do. Keep it up you are doing a great thing.
  • @dianedeck
    I work in therapy in a hospital and once I met the wife of a Navajo code talker she was German. Had that thick German accent but she talked about meeting her husband during the war and his job as a Code talkers. It was very cool to learn about the both of them.
  • @dennishinkle5010
    The grandmother is one of those people who is so at peace within herself. She is a treasure to be respected and loved. It would do us all well to listen to her. God bless her.👍
  • Hey Peter, love your videos, I myself am Navajo a quick comment about grandma and her status situation . I believe the grammar school she attended would have proof of her residence in America. Also, may be hiring a lawyer or a legal representative can help fix her status and even the US Army.
  • @micahtee6541
    I love the Grandma. Beautiful singing and such a warm personality. Everyone he interviewed was so welcoming.
  • @MikeSmith-cn6ub
    The old lady singing was absolutely priceless a sheep herder a cheerleader a track star wow the changes she's witnessed. She's an extinct
