Love that Peter's channel has turned into an amalgam of history, anthropology, geography, religion and philosophy, all with a very simple approach. Everything else like this is way too hyperfocused on one aspect. Peter's giving us the everyday look at tons of human communities all across America, which is vested with so much of world-influencing history. Thank you sir, long may it continue!

I grew up in Snowflake and am related to all the interviewees on this video. I had the best childhood anyone could imagine there in Snowflake, all the family and friend relationships are priceless.

Keith is my step dad. Thanks for showing your viewers our unique corner of the world.

Hi Peter, I wasn’t sure the best way to reach out but I hope that this message finds you. I just have to tell you how much of an impact you have had on my life brother. My world turned upside down during Covid, after a horrible divorce and being separated from my two young kids, I fell into a long-term and somewhat complex depression and felt completely stuck. I can say with complete certainty that your videos are the reason I am here right now and why my life is starting to go in the direction that it is. Your videos gave me real connection when I was stuck in self-isolation and did not know how to get out. Thank you Peter

Thank you for sharing Keith with us. Keith has such a calmness, peacefulness with such wisdom and love for his faith. One of your best episodes!

The great impact Peter's work has on me is that it teaches me rather deeply about the stuff I only knew bits and pieces from the "media". Born and raised in Ukraine I always saw Mormon missionaries who were teaching English, Biblical classes, volunteering in the local communities. But I honestly never knew a lot about them up until now. Awesome series about all kinds of Christian communities in the US, thanks a lot.

I grew up a member of the church in snowflake, although I am no longer active in the church, I am truly thankful for that little town and the beautiful people in it who helped create the childhood I lived. Thank you for sharing.

This Flake guy did an amazing job describing the religion and temples. Peter, amazing interviews. I really have enjoyed your visit to Shiprock, NM that is one of my favorites.

A non Saturday video? Let’s go!!!! 👍

I have a home right outside of Snowflake and my kids live there in Snowflake. We aren't LDS but I love that town and am crying because I miss it. This was wonderful to see.

Thank You for the great content. Honestly as a Canadian watching from the north its very easy to get caught up in the negative news from the United States. Your videos help balance out that loud noise from certain sections of the general media.

Peter, I just love your channel. So positive & uplifting. You make learning about different groups of people intriguing as well as informative. Thank you for showing us all these precious people & I bet that Mexican food was delicious, it looked so authentic, yummy!❤

I enjoy these videos so much that I get quite sad when they're over. What a film maker! 👏

if you can, you should visit the Mormon compounds in Mexico. That would be super interesting.

My parents worked in that temple for many years. I grew up in Eagar about an hour from Snowflake. It warms my heart to see Peter visit this area.

I have been in mormon´s temple even I´m an atheist, it had open door event after it was build. So I guess it was once in lifetime for me to get in. It was beautiful inside. It had huge chandeliers and I felt so peaceful in there. There were many different kind of rooms and paintings on the walls.

WOAH! Did anyone else catch this… the Mormon guy saying “several hundred Navajo kids lived in government sponsored dormitory schools here because THERE WAS NOT ADEQUATE EDUCATION ON THE RESERVATIONS“. I think Peter should do a series on that topic, the American Indian boarding schools, forcing children into assimilation. There are still plenty of survivors around and school buildings.

Hey you were in my town! And I worked with Keith and Reed for 15 years editing their videos! So cool to see this pop up in my feed! Thanks for doing this!

Great job showcasing some of the different lifestyles and communities from the mormon faith. I served in the military with an LDS who I considered my best friend up until he passed away 2 years ago. I learned a lot from him over the years, but this series has shown me a lot more. It was great to see the sheriff you had in the native series too.
