It was an interesting theory. We still have a lot of the Pueblo tribes around us - they seem nothing like the Tarahumari but then we are talking different centuries. I had never heard of the Tarahumari before and have taken courses on pre Columbian societies in Latin America.Steven Seitel wrote: ↑June 8th, 2021, 3:25 pm Chapter 05, In the Land of Living Cave and Cliff Dwellers

An interesting amateur theory that the Tarahumari people were ancient Puebloans driven south by invading athabascans...
FWIW, I've been to Copper Canyon and interacted with the "civilized" Tarahumari. Very pleasant people.

Just one small comment on this one.
24:09 - it sounds to me like you are saying "fleet" in "the soles of the feet", could you please double check as it could be due to my sometimes faulty hearing.
Thanks,
