Thanks for showing respect to Native Americans! They loved this land and they still do!The land is sacred! " Man belongs to the Earth. Earth does not belong to man!" Chief Seattle!
Native burial grounds are all over this nation.We had something like that happen when I was a boy.We we're sewing wheat seeds when the seeder got stuck on what we thought was a root,it turned out to be an old old femur bone.We dug the rest up and moved it next to our fence(same field)and reburied them,only much deeper.We had no problem with haints.
Daddy said that back around 1935 when the dinner bell rung at the noon meal that the mules would pull the plow at a run to the end of the row knowing they would get feed and rest
As of March 15, 2016, estimates placed the number of Native American remains in U.S. museums at about 500,000. Having worked with three tribes, I strongly support their efforts to get them back. It's a matter of respect.
@@haroldwilkes6608 Yes, I know about the Smithsonian too. It’s very sad. I have worked to restore the Ancestors also in years past. It seems it’s never ending.😔🐝❤️
I moved up north about 7 years ago, I have a beautiful wife, and a happy life, but sometimes I really do get homesick for the woods, and hills, and pines, the smell of the red clay soil after a morning shower, this channel really makes me feel like I'm back there even if it's just for a few minutes. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, thank you so much sir for keeping our history alive with this channel.
Oh my gosh , I have said the same thing. Donnie's voice reminds me of my Dad, he's gone now, but he was born n raised in Logan, W.VA. n Donnie's deep, kind voice sounds similar to what my dad sounded like. Everytime I hear Donnie speak, it makes me smile n I feel happy.
Hello from Washington State! I just found your channel and am absolutely loving these old stories! I wish more people would record these, this is our history ❤ bless you and your family for respecting the Graves of Native Americans!
Donnie thank you for sharing this I truly believe in land watchers that's what I call them I have seen and heard a lot of things that I can't explain there's a lot of things people need to leave alone. James from Luray Virginia
Great story Donnie. I just found your channel and really enjoyed this one. I live near to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Bledsoe County I am half Native American. My mother is Shawnee Cherokee her mother was Shawnee and her father was Cherokee they were brought up in Oklahoma near Tahlequah. I moved here 22 years ago and bought an old shack and 27 Acres on the Cumberland plateau. The old house I live in was built in 1895. It has very low ceilings and at the time was a poor man's house and is still a poor man's house. I live here alone with my dogs and tend my vegetable gardens. I frequently see visions of Indians around the property and even coming through the house. There is an old spring on the side of the mountain just below my house that has old rock walls at the back. There is still two old grinding Stones where they ground their grain at the edge of the spring. All Old-Timers around here said that the walls around the spring were put there by the native people. I love this place and I love the spirits that come through. I have never felt afraid or threatened or anyting.
That's amazing! You are living the life that I have always dreamed of! It's so nice to hear about people realizing how scared the land is and respecting it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Mr. Donnie, I sure do believe this. I'm a old timer myself. I 64 years old. I enjoy so much of your d Tories. Brings back hard time for myself.❤
Donnie I so believe this story! My father and I and a cousin, leased land in Lashmeet WV. across from Shawnee park. One evening I was resting and eating a sandwich, after a long hard day rolling hay, in the field across from the park. When I heard the words 2 times, Waapa Helini Naakala! Week went by, I told dad and the others, they laughed at me. The next morning as we came back, Archaeologist were digging Native American graves up. We had to move our cattle and leave! Those 3 words Waapa Helini Naakala, ate at me i wanted to know what they meant! I tried searching but no luck! Later I contacted an Archaeologist I knew. He searched books and found it meant, "White Man Leave." God Bless you! (Glen). WV.
That was a very interesting history lesson Donnie! And given my heritage, I greatly appreciate this story. And I agree with your family’s beliefs, and agree that this was a burial ground, and the old ones where protecting it. And I couldn’t think any higher of your family’s respect for this piece of land. This comes from my heart kola. Blessings you, and your ancestors…
@@donnielaws7020 I mean ever word sir. I did have to clean up my reply. I should’ve waited until after I went to bed to reply, instead of doing it half asleep. My apologies I think I corrected the mistakes. Take care my friend. Wakan tanan kici un (May the Great Spirit/God bless you) kola…
Very interesting tale, Donnie! There are things unexplained in this old world...perhaps because these folks respected the Indians of this field, they were left alone!💖
I grew up fishing Lost Creek back in Sharps Chapel. When the fish weren't biting I would walk the shorelines. You could see old house seats and even a couple wells when the water was low, I would occasionally find arrowheads and other artifacts laying in the mud & dirt. There is a rich Indian history in this area.
Good ol' mountain ghost story one of my favorite things from my childhood was setting around with the elders and hearing some amazing supernatural stories told as the truth thank you sir from over in Carter county. it was great!
I've seen a land watcher before! It was when I lived in Ky! I kinda always felt they were looking after me too ❤ I would stay up on that mountain all by myself 33 1/2 acres! And felt as safe as a baby in it's mama's arm's❤ the nearest neighbor up the mountain was a half mile away, and the nearest neighbor down the mountain was a mile an a half! I just turned 51 this past January 12th,but I will never forget the peace and love I felt there❤❤❤ thank you soo much love always😄
Wow! What a great story Donnie!!😊👍🏻 Loved this one! ❤️ It’s easy to tell you were raised by a wonderful family and that you come from ancestors that had such a great respect for the land. They instilled in you a great love of the earth and all who dwell on it. We who love & take care of the Earth much as the Native Americans did and still do, are few and far between these days. It’s such a shame that so many are not as evolved or as enlightened about taking better care of the earth especially now with climate change. We as a collective really need to have a greater respect for her and thank God for his beautiful creation and all that she provides in nourishing and sustaining us every day. 🙏🏻🌎❤️🙏🏻🌎❤️🙏🏻🌎❤️
Great story. I do believe there are places better left alone, and a Native American burial ground is one. I like your narrative style, it’s as though I could listen to you tell stories for hours 🙂
My grandpa was from a Holler in West Virginia called Black Betsy and he was the father in my life. I spent my entire life listening to his stories of the Hills when he was growing up (the spirit coal miner who wandered around a path further up in the holler looking for his family he killed, the old woman down the holler he swore was a Witch, even his extremely awful but sometimes funny stories about a family at the top of the hill said to be extremely inbred for generations and Grandpa swore they were way scarier than the ghosts, the Witch, or the crazy guy down the road who randomly painted black witches all over his house for protection one night....😂😂😂). Grandpa passed away in January of 2018 and I took care of him and grandma to the end. I miss his stories (even the ones he told me over and over again), his hand moving with every word as he got into it. You tell stories in a way that reminds me of him. Thank you for making me smile. 😊
Listening to you tell stories, I feel like I’ve listened to you speak for an hour. Not because it’s boring, but your voice puts me in a dreamlike state and by the end of your tale I feel like I’ve been on a long journey. Thank you 🙏
Donnie I love your videos and stories! What a wonderful thing that your family respected the past history of the land. I’m sure the Indian Spirits blessed them for it ♥️
I have great respect for people who refuse to be scared off by apparitions. It takes a special kind of courage. I bet their Christian faith gave them that strength. Realky enoyed this one.
I really appreciate that the old people had reverence for the sacred sites of the indigenous People. The superstitions were actually an acknowledgement. What a fantastic video ❤❤❤
Wow what a beautiful story! The Native American people were still protecting their sacred grounds. Thank you for sharing this Mr Laws, I appreciate you & your videos. I always feel at peace when you’re telling these stories to us. Blessings always! ❤️✝️
@@donnielaws7020 Thank you sir for sharing life in the mountains and how folks made do. I love the peaceful things of the woods! Be safe! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Great video sir. I really believe in Guardians. My grandparents were Apache's and they cleared fileds for farmers and rancher in the 1900; s and they lived in tents in the middle of nowhere. My Granny told me what time she saw an Indian running alongside a creek while she was fetching water and vanished before her eyes. Thank you for sharing the story and God Bless.
The wife and I really enjoy your videos. Every time we watch my wife says...his voice is sooooo relaxin. I could listen to him talk all day... Keep it up friend. Middle TN here
Hello Donnie Laws Like to let you know I live in Johnson City I really like the videos on the Norris lake area I also enjoy the history that you've been teaching us on east side of Tennessee and your short stories If there's any history that you can do videos on Over here by Johnson City area boon dam watauga dam area I would greatly appreciate it Once again thank you
Your welcome. Love to my friend. Their is so much history to get to in our great country of east Tennessee. So many stories. Thanks for sharing my friend.
@@donnielaws7020 I love hearing stories about the past. I remember when I was a teenager, sitting on the carpet at my grandparents' feet and trying to draw out the family tree as best I could, and them telling me stories about their childhoods - what they could remember. I always loved that. It helps to ground us in a reality that's very important. And you have a wonderful voice. I know you've been told that but you really do.
I just come across your channel and man I am happy I did, I am hooked so hooked in fact I just realized I have been watching for almost 2 hours stright. I love it!
What a cool story. A case of two groups living in harmony. You leave me my little piece undisturbed and I will let you have the rest to farm on. Thank you for sharing Donnie
Wonderful story Donnie, I was thinking even before you mentioned it. That is was an Indian burial ground. It was sacred to them, that's why they showed themselves when your ancestors tried to farm it. Thank you Donnie for sharing this story with us.
Thank you for the awesome video ✌️. Enjoy them all ☀️. I have heard many stories / history from my family on both sides from Giles county , Blacksburg and Kentucky . I love history, we all learn from it . And together maybe we can all continue to move forward together ✌️.
I've been enjoying all your story telling and I would love to move to the mountains. I'm from Canada and I did visit Tennessee back in 2010 and I loved it there. There is nothing like the mountains. I had some similiar lifestyles when I was a kid living here in Ontario Canada. I'm thinking that I should write down my stories and share with my children. I would love to go and visit this field and see the native Americans. I feel so sorry for them being pushed out of their land, so it's no wonder that they come back to have a pow wow. Thanks Donnie and keep on telling the history.
I'm from Huntington wv and I love your channel wish there were more like yours . I love hearing old storys and tales of superstitions. My dad and sister went to my papaws old home place and they felt like something was watching them so they took pictures and when they got them developed in one of them pictures was my papaws moms face coming outta tree branches and shed been dead since the 50s. There was an old cemetery outback their house up the hill and they said you could hear drumming at night
The people of that subdivision are going to pay dearly for something they don't even know about. A haunting is one thing but an Indian spirit is totally another. Thanks for the story and sorry that your people lost the land.
liked & subscribed and thank you for always including closed captioning. lost my hearing during military service 1970 stone deaf, your caring means a great deal to me & others.
Whoa Donnie...!..I just checked this video out ..there sure was something other worldly down around that part of that farm ......Thank you for the super video Buddy..!........
Love this! I’m from western KY but my family goes deep back in this area of the country. I feel like I’m sitting at my Pappaw’s feet, listening to him tell stories while I’m watching these.
@@donnielaws7020 you may be tickled to know that I’m watching all the way in Ghana. So I bring a little country and backwoods all the way to West Africa with me. 😄
I just recently found your channel and I love listening to you tell stories. It reminds me of my Grandpa and how he always had a story to tell me and my brothers. I didn't realize how much I missed that. Thank you for all the time you put into this channel.
Mr. Donny. This stuff is priceless. Just discovered your work and all I can say thru a tear of joy is thank you for preserving our history of true humanity. It only takes one tiny pebble to start an avalanche. Btw... I done experienced the native spirits on more than one occasion out in the wilds. Alright then.
When I was a little boy there was an old fellow in our community who believed he had a homegaurd. He would leave food for it. He was Native American and I have heard that it is a belief that it is usually a friendly spirit, sometimes a relative who has passed on, who gaurds your house. I was a teacher and mentioned something about it. One of my students said, "we have one. He comes through the kitchen and living room and goes upstairs. " I said ,"do you ever follow him to see where he goes?" " Not me," he said, "if I follow I might come out some place I don't wanna be."
So neat my Grandfather broke up his farm with animals and plows too they also found Indian burial grounds there too. But the government never investigated it, just because they did not then. This brought me back to his stories!! Thank you for sharing!!
Donnie Laws, thank you. I enjoyed your story. It brings back memories passed down in my family. It gives a person a warm feeling inside to hear and think about these stores. Thanks again. Respect to you.
Enjoyed this video....thanks for sharing. There's tons of the unexplained tied in with the history of this area. No telling what lies beneath the surface we will never know about.
Donnie, buddy I just found your channel. I want to thank you for bringing this way of life to the surface. My momma was born and raised in Cedartown GA. She's passed away now but I still have family up there. My wife ,my little girl and I visit the Blue Ridge Mts. Every year around Christmas and stop to see my family on the way back home here in Trenton fl. Love to hear these stories my friend, keep em' comin' , thanks again from a peanut and watermelon farmer...
Uncle Dondon we absolutely LOVE your videos! Plz keep them coming brother! I think if I saw an old Indian spirit or ghost id quit what I was doing!! Lol 😆 But anyway and as always,you my friend,are SUPER!! God bless you sir!
Mr. Donnie- thank you for sharing this story. I truly love all your videos 😊. I was in Tennessee on Tuesday (now in Illinois) and thought of you several times. Truly you have a gift 💕
Great one Donnie. I married a girl from Sharps Chapel and brought her to Blount Co. The name Roy (Rabbit) Roe may ring a bell if you are from there. But anyway I'm following you on a lot of the other post too. Inez Burns was my history teacher in High School, and she trusted me and 3 others with her little Gray Ford Falcon, and sent us on grave stone Chalking and tracing trips all through Blount County. Thanks again and I'm watching. Thanks
I really enjoyed hearing about your family and the story. I really enjoyed the pictures also and you have a wonderful voice for storytelling. Thank you so much.

What a cool story. A case of two groups living in harmony. You leave me my little piece undisturbed and I will let you have the rest to farm on. Thank you for sharing Donnie
Your welcome my friend.
Wonderful story Donnie, I was thinking even before you mentioned it. That is was an Indian burial ground. It was sacred to them, that's why they showed themselves when your ancestors tried to farm it. Thank you Donnie for sharing this story with us.
Thanks for sharing this my friend. Your very welcome.
Beautiful story, Donnie!!! What a testament to your family values and shared love of the land!
Thank you friend. God bless you.
Thank you for the awesome video ✌️. Enjoy them all ☀️. I have heard many stories / history from my family on both sides from Giles county , Blacksburg and Kentucky . I love history, we all learn from it . And together maybe we can all continue to move forward together ✌️.
Your welcome my friend. Thanks for Sharing.
The people are long gone but the stories will live on and on. thanks for sharing, your friend, Louise
Your very welcome my friend.
I've been enjoying all your story telling and I would love to move to the mountains. I'm from Canada and I did visit Tennessee back in 2010 and I loved it there. There is nothing like the mountains. I had some similiar lifestyles when I was a kid living here in Ontario Canada. I'm thinking that I should write down my stories and share with my children. I would love to go and visit this field and see the native Americans. I feel so sorry for them being pushed out of their land, so it's no wonder that they come back to have a pow wow. Thanks Donnie and keep on telling the history.
Thank you friend for sharing this. Your very welcome.
I'm from Huntington wv and I love your channel wish there were more like yours . I love hearing old storys and tales of superstitions. My dad and sister went to my papaws old home place and they felt like something was watching them so they took pictures and when they got them developed in one of them pictures was my papaws moms face coming outta tree branches and shed been dead since the 50s. There was an old cemetery outback their house up the hill and they said you could hear drumming at night
Wow, Thanks for sharing my friend.
The people of that subdivision are going to pay dearly for something they don't even know about. A haunting is one thing but an Indian spirit is totally another. Thanks for the story and sorry that your people lost the land.
Me to. That was way before my time. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Another good one
Glad you enjoyed it my friend.

My favorite, most relaxing ways to start my day, listening to your stories of days gone by❤
Thank you friend. God bless you.
Love this! I’m from western KY but my family goes deep back in this area of the country. I feel like I’m sitting at my Pappaw’s feet, listening to him tell stories while I’m watching these.
Wonderful my friend. Thanks for sharing.
@@donnielaws7020 you may be tickled to know that I’m watching all the way in Ghana. So I bring a little country and backwoods all the way to West Africa with me. 😄
I just recently found your channel and I love listening to you tell stories. It reminds me of my Grandpa and how he always had a story to tell me and my brothers. I didn't realize how much I missed that. Thank you for all the time you put into this channel.
Your very welcome friend and welcome aboard.
Mr. Donny. This stuff is priceless. Just discovered your work and all I can say thru a tear of joy is thank you for preserving our history of true humanity. It only takes one tiny pebble to start an avalanche. Btw... I done experienced the native spirits on more than one occasion out in the wilds. Alright then.
Wow, thank you friend for sharing.
Sacred ground. Beautiful story.
Thank you.
Thank You Donnie.
You are a de-stressing, story telling Treasure.
WOW Thanks for sharing this my. God bless you.
When I was a little boy there was an old fellow in our community who believed he had a homegaurd. He would leave food for it. He was Native American and I have heard that it is a belief that it is usually a friendly spirit, sometimes a relative who has passed on, who gaurds your house. I was a teacher and mentioned something about it. One of my students said, "we have one. He comes through the kitchen and living room and goes upstairs. " I said ,"do you ever follow him to see where he goes?" " Not me," he said, "if I follow I might come out some place I don't wanna be."
Thanks for sharing my friend.

Mr. Donnie- thank you for sharing this story. I truly love all your videos 😊. I was in Tennessee on Tuesday (now in Illinois) and thought of you several times. Truly you have a gift 💕
Thank you kindly my friend. Stay safe.
Great one Donnie. I married a girl from Sharps Chapel and brought her to Blount Co. The name Roy (Rabbit) Roe may ring a bell if you are from there. But anyway I'm following you on a lot of the other post too. Inez Burns was my history teacher in High School, and she trusted me and 3 others with her little Gray Ford Falcon, and sent us on grave stone Chalking and tracing trips all through Blount County. Thanks again and I'm watching. Thanks
Awesome! Your very welcome. Thanks for sharing that my friend.
Another thumbs up my friend
Thanks my friend.
I really enjoyed hearing about your family and the story. I really enjoyed the pictures also and you have a wonderful voice for storytelling. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
