Hopi Response to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 (lecture clip)

This week I am lecturing on the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Here, in this short clip, I talk about how the Hopi participated in the so-called Indian uprising by forcing Catholic priests off the mesa edge. Part of a class I am teaching, this is our last week learning about the Spaniards and ways Natives resisted to survive as a people (total run time 4 min and 37 sec).

Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert lectures on Hopi involvement in the Pueblo Revolt. This lecture took place at the University of Arizona on February 3, 2025, as part of a class titled HIST 236: Indians in U.S. History.

Hopi and Spanish First Encounter (lecture clip)

This afternoon I lectured on initial encounters between Natives and Europeans. In one section of my lecture I focused on the Hopi who first encountered the Spanish when Pedro de Tovar and a small group of men arrived uninvited on Hopi lands in 1540. In this lecture clip, I speak about this event and Hopi attempts to understand it from Hopi cultural perspectives (total run time 4 min and 40 sec.).

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).
