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.).

Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert lectures on the first encounter between the Hopi and Spaniards. The lecture takes place at the University of Arizona on January 27, 2025 in HIST 236 Indians in U.S. History (run time 4 min and 40 sec).
