  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Was the following.
• 2:09
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The grapes.
• 2:11
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: We're piled up in a mound.
• 2:13
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: In a loft.
• 2:13
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: I covered with well cleaned hides.
• 2:17
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Afterwards.
• 2:19
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Several Indians.
• 2:20
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Well, bathed and unclothed.
• 2:23
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: We're set to trampling it.
• 2:26
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: For close.
• 2:27
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: These Indians were only a very light loin cloth.
• 2:31
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Their heads.
• 2:33
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: We're tied up to prevent any hair from falling in the grapes.
• 2:38
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Their hands were covered with cotton cloth.
• 2:41
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: To wipe off the perspiration.
• 2:45
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And each one was provided with a pole to keep him from falling.
• 2:51
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The juice of the grapes, which ship through the hides.
• 2:55
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Was collected.
• 2:57
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: In things put underneath for that purpose.
• 3:01
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Now, he doesn't say what these things were, but we can imagine.
• 3:06
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: When these were full.
• 3:08
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The juice was changed to a large wooden VAT.
• 3:12
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Which served as a tent, a tank.
• 3:15
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: When all the grapes were well trampled.
• 3:18
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: All the juice.
• 3:19
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Was put in tanks, kept for the purpose.
• 3:23
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And it was left there for two or three months.
• 3:27
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Covered with the big-ass of the grape.
• 3:30
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So that it would ferment.
• 3:32
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Now big-ass.
• 3:34
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Is the leftover stuff.
• 3:37
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: That's there after you crush the grapes.
• 3:39
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Right?
• 3:40
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So I guess the skins seeds, et cetera.
• 3:43
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The gas was pressed and wooden presses.
• 3:46
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And the juice was put into copper vessels in the shape of jars.
• 3:51
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Covered with a kind of hat.
• 3:55
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: A couple of tubes were put in.
• 3:57
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And then the liquid was heated.
• 3:59
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: To bring about evaporation and condensation.
• 4:03
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: By means of these vessels.
• 4:06
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: They use stills to obtain their Brandy.
• 4:10
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: To make white wine.
• 4:11
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: They just drew off the first use of the grape.
• 4:15
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And deposited it in a specific place.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So you see that we're making Brandy using copper stills.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Alongside the the wine and they were clearly, they were making white wine.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: These stones were moved by animals.
• 5:02
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: When the wheat was well, ground.
• 5:04
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: It was sent to the sifters and sifted there.
• 5:08
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Until it was as fine as one could wish.
• 5:12
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: These mills are like those.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Which I use to crush metals.
• 5:17
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Very interesting.
• 5:18
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So he describes how they made flour.
• 5:22
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And clearly they had a millstone for grinding the flour.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Let us put aside the products of the mission to go on talking about the customs of the When at Kelly Ford, you saw that his wife was pregnant.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: After these insignificant gifts.
• 8:57
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The music played.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And the dance.
• 9:00
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Which lasted a day or two.
• 9:02
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Began.
• 9:04
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: It was the duty of the nearest relatives of the baby's family to attend baptism.
• 9:11
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Without any invitation.
• 9:12
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And if they did not go.
• 9:15
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: It was sufficient reason.
• 9:17
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: For the parents and godparents to feel insulted.
• 9:21
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The distant relatives and friends of the parents and godparents were invited.
• 9:26
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And they too had to attend the celebration.
• 9:30
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: These baptisms took place at night.
• 9:34
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Those of the people who did not live in the mission.
• 9:38
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: But in some more or less distance settlement.
• 9:41
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Took place on Sundays after mass.
• 9:45
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: When to California's were friends and had a family.
• 9:49
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And one had a daughter and the other, a son.
• 9:53
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Even though these were very young.
• 9:56
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The father's arranged.
• 9:58
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Because it suited them.
• 9:59
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So.
• 10:01
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: That when the children were bigger, they would be married.
• 10:05
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: These arrangements took place only between the fathers of the children.
• 10:10
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And they tried to keep the children.
• 10:12
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: From learning of their plants.
• 10:15
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And you could imagine why they might want to keep the children from knowing.
• 10:19
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: If the children knew that.
• 10:21
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: That they'd all.
• 10:22
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Ready had their marriage prearranged.
• 10:26
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: That might cause a little bit of rebellion.
• 10:28
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: I could imagine.
• 10:30
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Although, of course, as we know, there are societies where arranged marriage is quite common and everybody goes along with it.
• 10:38
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: But clearly in this case, it was.
• 10:41
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The fathers who came together.
• 10:44
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: With the idea and they kept it from the children.
• 10:47
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: All right, so let's continue.
• 10:49
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: This is where it gets interesting.
• 10:51
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: About two years, more or less before the marriage would occur.
• 10:56
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The girl's father.
• 10:58
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Would ask the other father.
• 11:00
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: For his son.
• 11:02
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Who would be given to him and taken to live in his home.
• 11:07
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: This act made them betrothed.
• 11:10
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So then from the day on which the fiance went to live in the home of his future, father-in-law.
• 11:17
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: He was treated as a son.
• 11:20
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And he gave the man obedience and respect and treated him as a father.
• 11:26
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The future father-in-law treated his new son.
• 11:30
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: As though he were one of the family.
• 11:34
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: He made him work at the usual hours at the duties, which were assigned to him to do.
• 11:40
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: If sometime he made an error.
• 11:42
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The father considered it, his right to punish him.
• 11:46
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And he did so.
• 11:47
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Without the sons feeling any resentment at the act.
• 11:52
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: When the boy had learned to work well.
• 11:55
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The marriage proceeded.
• 11:57
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Without any opposition from the children.
• 12:00
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Since aside from the affection, which had been born in them through living under the same roof.
• 12:07
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: They had to obey their parents.
• 12:09
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Thing, which was very sacred to them.
• 12:13
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So you can imagine.
• 12:15
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: How in those cases?
• 12:18
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Where somebody eloped.
• 12:21
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And, like in the case of.
• 12:25
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Jose.
• 12:26
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Curry or the Fitch.
• 12:27
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: I believe it was who eloped with someone who was not chosen.
• 12:31
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: By her parents.
• 12:33
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: This was a huge breach of protocol.
• 12:37
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: In the whole community, not just in her family.
• 12:41
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So.
• 12:43
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: That helps explain things a little better.
• 12:46
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: If you've heard that story.
• 12:48
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: All right.
• 12:48
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: So returning on.
• 12:51
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: When the day of the wedding was decided, the fathers of the VITROS.
• 12:56
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: went to the missionary, informed him of the fact.
• 13:00
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And then the bans were published.
• 13:03
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Unless they paid for the dispensation of them.
• 13:06
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Okay.
• 13:07
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Wedding bands.
• 13:08
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: If you don't know, it was something quite common, quite common.
• 13:12
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Until recently.
• 13:13
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And I believe they still are.
• 13:16
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Part of the required.
• 13:19
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: The requirements of Catholic Canon law, a ban.
• 13:23
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Is basically.
• 13:24
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: A notice.
• 13:26
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: Public notice that these two people are getting married.
• 13:29
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K: And if there is someone who has an objective.
• 13:34
