Indigenous north to south We are one ♥️
THAT NEVER HAPPENED STOP LOOKING FOR ATTENTION.
The Spaniards first introduced the hacienda system in South, Central and North America. In Northern Mexico, people of mixed European (Spanish) and Native origins (often called Mestizios) created a unique culture of haciendas and open ranching, wich included specialized outfits, gear and horses. This became a basis for the archtype "Cowboy" of the wild west. European settlers who later arrived in Texas extensively traded and lived alongside these "Vaqueros" and adopted their way of life and even their clothing. The typical Texas Cowboy wouldn't exist without the vaquero traditions and legacy
You need to learn more history about Mexico
The Southern Drovers actually blended with Vaqueros to create the Texas Cowboy. In California Cowboy culture was more purely adopted from Vaqueros. Vaquero culture was the predominant bases for most US Cowboy culture and the more Southern Anglo contribution remained stronger in the South. But it was generally spread and diluted leading to today's mostly but not solely Vaquero derived cattle herding culture throughout the US.
@lucinq`1` ial Interesting! It is such a beautiful and uneque landscape there, with a deep rooted uneque culture too! You can definitely here the polka influence in the Ranchero, Conjunto and and red dert (Texas And Oklahoma) Country music. All are related and sometimes overlapping forms of folk music of the borderlands.
@lucinq`1` ial 😁👍
And that's the truth
Soy de Guanajuato, mi papá de rancho y yo de ciudad pero siempre ahí quedaba, con los caballos con el maíz. Orgullo es ser mexicano. Privilegio es tener nuestra cultura. Por eso me pongo el sombrero, y cuando alguien me pregunta les digo “porque a si me enseño mi abuelito”.
Ayyy pooo favooo! 😂😂 Están en mex y les da vergüenza o..g.T's llegan a US y ahhh mucho orgullo si como no ..😂😂😂 chupenla tacuaches
@@giorgiomartinni2529 con tan poco respeto, de que puta esta hablando? Dije que soy de ciudad porque yo nací en Léon pendejo. Vergüenza me da cada vez que visito y ustedes están tan pendejos que dejan que la ideología de los americanos los aguan disminuir con toda la estupidez de latinX. Yo me ponía el sombrero de mi abuelo cuando iba a aguas calientes y me lo quitaba en la iglesia de San Miguel de Allende. Y ahora con todo respeto se me va a la verga pinche viejo pendejo. Ooooo pooo favoooo, pregunte antes de comentar.
Muy felicitações para hosteres cowboys del México, grandicimo abraço de Brazilian 👍

The first cowboys in history were Mexican. There’s asciendas in Puebla Mexico and chihuahua that date back to the 1670.
Dustin Heath read up on Mexican history my friend you’d be suprised is a lot older than what you think.

Real mexican , no pinches charros monta perros falsos
cierto, aquí es normal ver vaqueros.
Love seeing this, I'am a descendant of the 16 families of Canary islanders that settled San Antonio ,The original Voqeuros that brought cattle here. I'am in my early 40's and witnessed this life in a slightly different culture in Southwest Louisiana as a kid. Times have changed here it's really really cool to see people still living the old way.
Gran Canaria islander here. Nice to know a descendant of those families of isleños.
Good point! So true! Cows were brought over to the Americas! They were not indigenous to our two continents.
VIVA MEXICO!
I wish I had the knowledge to live that way
Most people from Zacatecas are cowboys,my dad and his family lived the exact same life style as these bajas do. Sorry for bad english
_agua_de_horchata_ _ saludos a jerez
Yeah, my family is from Jimenez del teul Zacatecas. Nothing but ranches and rural living.
My family is southern Zacatecas. Moyahua de Estrada to be exact. They too lived very rural lives on ranches raising cattle. Saludos !
My mom is from Zacatecas

This video is a treasure. Thank you.
My grandparents had a ranch in Mexico and life was not much different that what you see the video except they had a stream on the property. I loved visiting there and to this day miss the lifestyle.
To clear up who started the cowboy lifestyle and its heritage is both Spainish and the natives of Mexico. Eventually becoming the way of life of the West. Spain brought the Clothes and the animals. Both mentalities contributed to the lifestyle. The Mexicanos cultivated the way of living to a point then eventually passing it down to the Anglos.
Mexicans were Spanish at that time. The clothing, the tools, the animals and the wisdom to care for and herd them are Spanish. We love you very much, Mexicans, but you must not go overboard. You learned from us, period. Creo que lo he escrito bien en Inglés y además sois muy inteligentes, como nosotros, seguro que lo entendéis perfectamente.
@@jcarlosglera3647 yup that's why in Europe you guys have cowboys and rodeos. 🙄
@@martinmarquez.669 A ver, ¿tú eres un poco bobo, no?. ¿De dónde salieron los caballos de vuestros vaqueros y rodeos, eh?. ¿Antes de llegar nosotros cómo lo hacíais?. ¿montando en lagartijas?. Es que .... lo que hay que leer.
@@jcarlosglera3647 jamás dije que los caballos son nativos de América te cuesta entender lo único que dije que en Europa no hay vaqueros es como en Europa no había tomates como hacían la pizza y digo pizza por qué es lo único bueno de comida europea
@@martinmarquez.669 Y seguimos con la traca ... ¿En Europa no hay vaqueros?. Me dan ganas de traerte, montarte en un caballo español y me enseñas a ver qué tal lo haces con un toro bravo también español. ¿Qué te parece?. ¿Cómo crees que manejamos a los toros bravos?. ¿De dónde crees que salieron las botas camperas?. ¿Y todos los instrumentos: las sillas de montar, las cuerdas y su manejo, las espuelas, las cabezadas y etc.etc.etc.?. ¿De los aztecas?. ¿De dónde salieron las vacas, eh?. ¿Y los toros?. ¿De dónde salieron los caballos mustang?. Os regalamos todo eso para empezar. Más todo lo demás: la lengua, las guitarras, la música ... ¿Quieres que siga?. Las pizzas italianas todas para ti, nos sobra comida española mucho más antigua y muchísimo mejor. Que seguro que también coméis por allí. ¿Te suena el turrón, el mazapán, el mismo pan, el aceite de oliva, el vino?. Supongo que eran mayas y robamos las fórmulas, ¿no?. Los espirituales y pacíficos mayas iguales que los aztecas. Sí, como hay Dios. Hasta eso os dejamos: Dios, la Virgen de Guadalupe (sabes que tenemos otra Virgen de Guadalupe mucho más antigua?. Os quiero mucho, me gustó mucho vuestro país (no las zonas turísticas, si no los pueblitos y su gente). Pero a veces me sacáis de quicio, la verdad.
Thanks for this insight into the lifestyle of this unique community and sharing it with the world. I hope they're able to maintain their unique way of living without succumbing to 'modern' traits.
I was born in 1982 and got to taste this life in the tarahumara mountains of chihuahua 100% off grid Hand made tortilla surpassed any 5 star rating restaurants anytime
even taco-bell?
THANK YOU FOR THIS DOCUMENTARY 🙏🏽☺️
Fantastic film, loved it.🤠😇
A lot of us are just native americans mixed with basques in north mexico like baja and chihuahua. And just varying levels of the two, we old people
Basque people? Like basque people from Spain and France ?
Most northerners are not mixed with native americans, simply because there weren’t many native americans in the north. Most of the northern population is european
The Cowboy👢🐴 culture has its origin in northern Mexico 🇲🇽 The creators of this art were the Mexicans, (not the US-Americans) the modern Cowboy was born in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, then the Mexicans raised cattle in the current area of Texas, when it was Mexican territory, before the annexation to the United States , the lifestyle, work, clothing, dance, were immediately imitated by the Americans, after the annexation of the territory of Texas. California also had skilled men on horseback, according to Richard Henry Dana, who wrote a book about that region in 1840 when it still belonged to Mexico. As described: When they make long trips, they ride one horse until they get tired and grab another, go over the support and bridle and, after running off the animal, take a third and so on until the end of the trip. There are no better cowboys like the Mexicans in the world.
In any of the rural areas of northern mexico ull find this lifestyle. My dad was from durango and grew up exactly like this
The cowboy culture is a Mexican heritage
The Spanish brought cattle here. But all of the culture on how to raise, breed, feed, use the reata, work cattle from horseback, everything related to the cattle industry in Mexico and then the USA is from the Mexicans. As he said, the cowboy culture is right from Mexico. No Mexican vaquero = no cowboys in this country.
Constantinopla the Spaniards bring the culture that create the cowboys but the only cowboys are Mexicans and Americans,they are the only ones Whit the hat,boots,tie and more,
I agree. Now stop sneaking into America. There is a procedure,follow it and you are welcome.
@Constantinopla that's pretty stupid. How can we be considered "Spanish" because of our DNA but not native if that is part of us as well?
@ConstantinoplaThey're Mexicans that come from Spanish bloodlines, but they are still Mexican.
Great documentary, thank you for posting it;)
Excellent documentary. Thank you.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Great Documentary . I'm feeling proud. Thx
My Friend, thank you so much for this. God Bless You
Man that is Awesome the way it was from the begining of the Vaquero and Cowboy Nice Video
Be there soon. I hope.
Awesome!
My Tata Donaciano and Nana La Kica Montoya lived in Abeyta, Colorado and my Tata and Nana with their 20 children and my Grandma Nora being one out of the 20 lived this way at His El Rancho Grande! My Tata and his Papa and his Carnales were True Vaqueros Tambien! My Tata lived to be 102, and I believe he lived so long was because he and his Familia lived off the Land and we're Sheep Herders and Cattleman's!!!
Cowboy is an anglo word for Hollywood movies anglos are Hollywood cowboys. For mexicans its a way of life
Not mexicans as a whole. It’s a way of life for people living in rural areas, predominantly in northern México.
Awesome documentary
They will always survive. No matter what.
This is a good video thanks for sharing good vidios
Chingon el video y la musica ni se diga
que bonito es lo bonito

Beautiful. Just beautiful 🔥😍❤🙏
God bless you all. Im going to school now for horticulture and irrigation/propagation and i one day hope to live amongst people that are this good and help cultivate the land and bring water to the people. My dream is to one day find these people somehow and learn from them and their way of life. I pray one day i can have a life similar and i believe anything is possible through christ. One day i will be with a community as beautiful as this. Thank you may we meet someday somehow.
It’s not hard at all to find these people. You just need to know someone that owns a ranch (a lot of us do) and go to the ranch. Greetings from Sonora
interesting to see and experience simple life in the other side of the USA.
Proud to be Mexicano.
@Ye Olde Horsemanship Channel I've seen your comments on others videos, it looks like your very jealous.
I am granddaughter of Miguel Angel Ojeda, he was a great man, we miss him a lot.
Good video, shows a lot of truth not like traditional story books that bend the truth.
Nice.
One of my favorite videos .
Que chulada!
The first cowboys in history were Mexican. There’s asciendas in Puebla Mexico and chihuahua that date back to the 1670. Not the 1800.
The precursors of the American cowboy were the Mexicans who raised cattle in the area of present-day Texas, when it was Mexican territory, before the annexation to the United States, their lifestyle and work was inherited from Mexicans who lived in the current Texan territory . California also had skilled men on horseback, according to Richard Henry Dana who wrote a book about that region in 1840 when it still belonged to Mexico. As described: When they go on long journeys, they ride a horse until they tire and grab another, pull the mount and the bridle over it, and after exhausting the animal, they take a third, and so on until the end of the trip. There are no better riders like Mexicans in the world. THE COWBOY IS MEXICAN.
Y sí así nace y se cria uno en el monte mis mejores años López Mateos Mpio de llera Tamaulipas recuerdos pronto los volveré a ver
They are heroes
11:35 I'm kinda freaked the hell out but dying of laughter at the same time. Kinda makes you wonder where "whoopy cushions" came from 💀💀😂😂
thats exactly where whoopy cushions came from
Vaqueros originated in Mexico city thats where the conquista occurred Spaniards buried Teotihuacan and establish la nueva espana all around mexico city there were haciendas where the cattle grew enormously and the indians took care of the herds late on Spaniards families move on up north and every where. At the beginning Indias where no allowed to ride horses.
PS why all the bickering? ALL Cowboys are marvelous,period. Feel blessed people still make a living from the back of a horse.
Amazing documentary on the Spanish in the Baja. Many ranches operated this way very dependent on making a living off the land. Many family ranches were almost as sufficent as this. If electricity was out use kerosene. etc.
they are not spanish they are mexican the spanish only brought the methods of settlement but the lifestyle and the practice were born from the mexican culture that suffered from abuses by the spanish It was in Mexico where the Texan hat was given this so characteristic style of cowboy culture, as well as music, the Spanish brought the instruments, the Mexicans created the melodies.
Florida had the first cows that the Spanish brought along with hogs and horses. So, cowboys were first in Florida and still are to this day. We have a healthy cattle population on many large ranches and smaller ones as well. Y'all have a lot of Mexican cowboys and we have plenty of Seminoles, black, white and Mexican cowboys in Florida.
That’s incorrect the conquistador brought cattle down thru Florida. But there wasn’t any ranches yet only for food.
The Spanish first brought cattle to Florida in 1521. They brought cattle to TX in 1519. No need to be competitive.
How can I get the DVD??? History from my family roots came from the Sierra de San Francisco , even the family spread all upper California, is so up lifting to see this wonderful Documental!!!

Man! I was all into it especially right when it cut off. What the heck people. Where is part 2?
This was fantastic. I wish I could see the end! The video cut short and I can’t seem to find the rest….
The Spaniards spread this vaquero culture all around Hispano America, In mexico it has been conserved the most but it isn’t exclusive to Mexico. Head over to Baja Verapaz, Salamá, Guatemala and see how strong the vaquero culture is and then tell me this is just Mexican. My ancestors lived as one with the land and mastered this Vaquero culture. Saludos desde Guatemala y ¡¡¡Viva los Ranchos!!!
As I told you before the North American Cowboy tradition evolved in Mexico and spread both North and South. From the Spanish Horseman first came the Charro and then the chinaco. Later came the vaquero who was the student as the charro was the teacher. The vaquero spread North further evolving in the state of Chihuahua. The style of working with cattle would later influence other countries in Central America
Braulio Marinez my main point is not that the origin isn’t in Mexico. My point is that the exact thing we see in this video can also be found in other parts of the Americas for example in Guatemala where I come from. If you’re observation is that Guatemalans got their customs from Mexico, so be it, we share the same lifestyle
Braulio Marinez funny thing as well is that the rancheras that these men sing, my grandfather sung as well. My mother caught me watching this video and starting singing along with the video and teared up as it reminded her of where she came from
@@JBCarrera54 the songs are of Mexican origin family started the singing I don't know, but you also have to take into account that Guatemalan environment is very different to the Mexican one. End up in the heat of northern Mexico its word develop
Braulio Marinez Guatemala is not all the same environment, Salamá Baja Verapaz is very dry and you can see nopales in the southern part of Salamá
Mi respeto para esa gente bonita trabajadora, no cualquier gente aguanta esas chingas, la vida es bonita pero vivir en los ranchos es trabajar, mi respeto que dios los bendiga
Eso es la mejor vida que puedas tener todo natural nada que ver que la ciudad extraño mi rancho
Y para que lo vendiste????
Where can I see the rest of this documentary I love it
Dios es bueno aun ahy gente k vive con lo k la tierra. Ahy lazos familiares algo k ya se perdio en la cuidades
Just like my family lives. Back in jalisco
This is what modern conservation of lands looks like, sustainable use through humans that preserves the land and its ecosystem services. It's not about setting a part an island of conservation where no people live
QUE TIEMPOS CA.
Tried to find the DVD so I could see the end. where can I find it, link did not have it.
My People.....🤜🤛✊✊✊
does anybody have the full documentary???
En el minuto 14:58 sale una foto de las blancas, sería interesante saber quiénes son los vaqueros de las fotos, muy bonito lugar, dichosos los que conocemos esa zona
Our culture is everything we keep it old school thats why we still use molcajete and make tortillas buy hand.
