Hopi emergence and migration (lecture clip)

This semester I am teaching an undergraduate course titled HIST 236 Indians in U.S. History. Throughout the semester I will upload short lecture clips that may be of interest to readers of this blog. The first clip takes place at the end of class where I close my lecture (on Native American oral history and tradition) talking briefly on Hopi emergence and migration. I have inlcuded the PowerPoint slide that I am discssing above, and the video below (video and sound quality are not the best…I will make necessary improvements for next time).

Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert lectures on Hopi emergence and migration. The lecture takes place at the University of Arizona, January 22, 2025, in the course: HIST 236 Indians in U.S. History (video run time 2min 35 sec).

    1. Hello, Russell. Thank you for your comment. I would like to hear new stories about Hopi migration, too! I remember once having a conversation with Ferrell Sekakuku, who told me fascinating stories of Hopi migrations to and from central Mexico. Thanks again!

    Joseph Mede warned in the 1600s that American Indians were magog.
    Rafinesque advised Jefferson the American Indians were Turk. Hugh Pope Sons
    of Conquerors shows the American Indian language is three quarters Altaic
    Magog. The American Indians marauded the Clovis people whose were previously
    here for thousands of years just as the magog (Manchus, Mugals, Lapps, Turks,
    Tatars, and Huns) decimated ancient Eurasian civilizations during the past
    millenium.
