Join the community, and let's explore the story together. 🔔 / @theburiedrecordus In the oral tradition of the Hopi people, accounts of the beings who inhabited the world before and alongside the human community are woven into a cosmological framework of great depth and specificity. In this video we step into that tradition with genuine care, exploring what the Hopi oral record preserves about the beings the alternative history tradition calls the Hairy Ones, and examining the specific claim, documented in 1899, about where those beings went when soldiers came into the Hopi landscape. 🕯️ The genuine historical context here is significant. The late nineteenth century was a period of sustained military and governmental pressure on the Hopi — the establishment of Indian agencies, the forced schooling of Hopi children, the imprisonment of Hopi leaders who resisted assimilation policy, and the broader apparatus of American conquest whose presence in the Hopi landscape was real and traumatic. The arrival of soldiers is not a mythological abstraction in Hopi memory; it is documented history. 📜 The Hairy Ones framing is the alternative history element we examine most carefully against the genuine Hopi tradition. The beings of the earlier worlds in Hopi cosmology are described in terms specific to that framework, and the specific claim that they withdrew or fled at the coming of soldiers is one we trace against what the documented ethnographic record of 1899 actually preserves — asking where the genuine tradition ends and the alternative history construction begins. 💬 Throughout we treat the Hopi oral tradition with the respect and precision it deserves. Where the documented record stands firm, we share it openly. Where the trail dissolves into speculation, we say so honestly. 🔍 📌 Subscribe so you never miss our next deep dive, drop a comment with your own thoughts on this account, and share this with a fellow lover of Indigenous history.
