My mother was born and raised in Taos and grew up in the Pueblo. I've had quite a few opportunities to visit and it's been an incredible and emotional experience to get in touch with relatives and see where my grandma is buried. Thank you so much for making this video. ❤

I'm a Southern Paiute from a historical non- federally recognized tribe in Southern Nevada. When I was jumping around to wildland firefighting contractor companies over the years. I ended up with the Picuris Pueblo wildland crew one year. While with the crew, we got to work with most of the Pueblo Tribes. Getting invited to limited ceremonies and feasts over the year. Listening to their stories and history was amazing.

Taos Pueblo and the entire region is very beautiful. Growing up in New Mexico I always adored visiting these places and always felt a sense of wonder and awe. Thank you for posting this.

As one who has Taos Pueblo ancestry, I thank you for this excellent breakdown of the pueblo and its history. It's one that few Americans know about.

I had the pleasure of visiting Taos Pueblo a few years ago. If you’re in the area around May 1, the San Felipe Pueblo south of Taos has a religious festival every May first, and the public are invited. Just remember that you can’t take photos or videos. Also, it’s impolite to ask about their religion. It’s sad, but in the early 20th century, photos of Pueblo ceremonies were used in books about “savage customs.” Such books throughly distorted the Pueblo’s religion and culture in ways that sold more copies but twisted the actual Pueblo religion. Once they became aware of that, they banned cameras at their festivals.

The most amazing aspect of this story, to me, really is that the Taos were not (permanently) driven from their land. The return of their sacred Blue Lake is definitely a bonus to this legacy.

A video about home! I live in Taos; the Pueblo is amazing and the people are awesome! One of the last cultures to hold on to and practice their traditions! The Pueblo itself is set on one of the most beautiful pieces of land in the world.

as one whose ancestors were forcibly moved to Oklahoma and Texas = it is absolutely amazing that the Taos have always held onto their lands. Much respect. strength of the earth so apparent with in you all. ...

I was married at Taos Pueblo by a member of the tribe Aspen Song. It was an amazing ceremony. Beautiful people who I will never forget and forever cherish. It is magical. Must be protected at all costs.

Kinda cool seeing a place from the state you live in, especially when you constantly get glossed over or thinking we're part of Mexico 😂

“900 AD when the first people set foot in the Taos Valley?
People have been there at least 15, 000 years.

My family lived in Colorado for 3 years when I was a kid, my parents took us to Mesa Verde and other Pueblo ruins/cultural sites as well as museums. It’s an amazing culture and I’m very thankful my parents put an emphasis on teaching us about them.
