“But the Jumanos
occupied this land when the Spanish
first show up.
So they were here until probably about
the early 1700s.
Early 1700s, Plains Apaches then come in
- and displace the largely - pedestrian
Jumanos.
Wow.
I've never heard of Indians displacing
each other.
This was a blood feud.
So how bloody of a battle are we talking
about? If you're a fallen warrior, you
can expect to have your corpse
mutilated.
They'd cut off hands, cut off fingers.
- Really? - Very brutal.
And then, the Apaches are driven out by
the Comanches.
Goes for 100 years.
So we're talking from the mid 1700s?
Yeah, all the way into the early 19th
century.
I mean, they fought the Apaches hammer
and tongs.
I mean, they never gave up fighting the
Apaches - until the very, very end.
- Geez.
They scalped people.
They'd eat livers sometimes.
If they could make you scream or beg for
mercy, that's the ultimate power.
These guys sound like - not somebody you
want to mess with.
- Right.
How do the white settlers wind up
dealing with it? Well, the settlers were
on the losing end for several decades.
I mean, really, the Comanches ruled the
roost out here from about 1770 to about
1870.
There is a lot of anonymous dying in
this part of the world.
There's a lot of panic.
This old dude is talking.
He's, like, saying, "There's all of
these wars that happened.
" And he's talking about the Native
Americans.
Well, like, with the Native Americans I
just see them, like, fighting.
And then I just see them dead.
I see their blood on the ground.
There's other people later.
So I keep seeing, like, different groups
of people over time, and they're just
dead on the ground, bleeding.
So what I'm thinking is that this thing
is causing causing it.
It's, like, instigating and fueling it.
Yes.
Yes."
This is the psychic Amy Allan, and the
retired police officer Steve DiSchiavi,
of the American TV Series The Dead
Files, talking about how the
intra-tribal warfare of the American
Indian was caused by disincarnate
forces.
