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

Some of your videos should be standard watching in high school classes. Not just this subject, but ones from your other travels across USA and the world. You ask the right questions without sounding bias, and get very detailed and informative responses.

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 s…
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.
Keith is my step dad. Thanks for showing your viewers our unique corner of the world.
Peter, you are putting in work, man… Please don’t ever stop pumping these out!
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!
I am jewish and have always felt a kinship with the Mormons. Tremendous respect for their culture
A non Saturday video? Let’s go!!!! 👍
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 painti…
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!
Wild stuff Peter! Growing up in AZ it was funny that Snowflake was always called a "Morman" town and now I know what everyone meant. I've been there many times through the years visiting friends. Thanks for spotlighting a good, honest people and community. Talk about a small worl…
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.
I'm from Mesa, Arizona. I also happened to be a descendant of Erastus Snow who is my 4th great grandpa. I've been to Snowflake once as a kid. All the people i've ever met from snowflake or friends i've had that have ties to Snowflake have been some of the best people! Also, th…
I enjoy these videos so much that I get quite sad when they're over. What a film maker! 👏
My ancestors are some of the Mormon pioneers that settled Southern Arizona. They settled the area around Tombstone, before it was ever a thing & other cities in the South East. I’m super grateful to have that heritage and I appreciate all they’ve done for this great state.
I grew up in Alabama. I moved to Arizona for a new life because I had friends there. I remember there being a thrift store across the street from where I lived that sold stuff for extremely cheap. I swear I could get a button up dress shirt and some job interview dress pants for …
I grew up in AZ as a Mormon and now live in Utah as a non-Mormon. I will say there is quite a difference in Mormons from Utah vs outside the bubble like this man here. I left the religion for the history but this is the Mormonism that I will always support - general kindness and …
00:39 🌵 Mormon settlers in Arizona, encouraged by Brigham Young, were instructed to settle in the desert and make it flourish. 01:52 🏜 While proud of their pioneer heritage, modern LDS members emphasize the pioneering efforts of new converts changing cultures. 03:06 📜 The hist…
I grew up and live in Mesa (which was founded/settled by Mormons, as are many of the cities in the Phoenix Metro area), spent many summers around the Rim and White Mountains (which is where a lot of these small Mormon-founded communities like Snowflake and Taylor are). Mormons ar…
I moved to Snowflake 5 months ago then just moved to an even smaller town 40 miles away 4 weeks ago. My first time living in Arizona and I’m loving it. I resigned from the LDS church before I moved here and I still fit in great because I lived the common culture here faithfully f…
I worked with a member of the LDS community in my advertising career. He was a model citizen, hard working, very successful. Graduated from BYU. He was a good example of how a person could flourish being raised in a community where there is a high degree of certainty in day-to-da…
Aloha Peter, you need to come here to North Shore, O’ahu. When I moved here from the continent I was really surprised at the large population of LDS. The temple in Laie is gorgeous. Laie is also home to BYU-Hawai’i and many of their students work at Polynesian Cultural Center and…
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!❤
Peter my wife and I get more excited for these than the Netflix series. That says something about where media, and content is going. KEEP IT UP!
As much as I do not agree with what the LDS religion preaches, well most religions really… this series has been really insightful. I come from a country where religious influence is becoming non-existent and we do have Mormons but it’s been interesting to hear it from the people …
So cool to see Peter visit my hometown! I can honestly say that growing up as a member of the church in Snowflake shaped who I am for the best. Thanks for the video, Peter! Your non-judgmental interview style is what this world needs.
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.
I am Mormon by birth but no longer am one, but I have enjoyed your videos so much, and especially this one. They are so adorable !!! They remind me of my Mormon settler family and ancestors. My Great Grandma was that head pioneer/storyteller of another small town settled by hist…
My family is LDS and some of the original pioneers to settle the White Mountains in AZ (including Snowflake). I’m so happy you’re showcasing the generous, hard working people of this area. Thank you Peter for all the great things you and Natalia are doing to show the stories of o…
would be intresting to see natives version of this same history and outlook
I'm from Texas, but I have been deep into these videos on the Mormons, Utah and all the other videos you've been doing around that part of America. Thank you for introducing us to such interesting and nice folks. God bless them and God bless you.
I would be really interested in seeing the indigenous perspective on the settlers, schools, views etc - from mormon and non-mormon natives! Hope peter gets to talk to some of them
