Indigenous History Now
United States
Приєднався 26 тра 2022
Welcome to Indigenous History Now! On this channel we discuss the rich history of America's Indigenous peoples from ancient eras all the way to the present day. The channel will progress roughly chronologically and focuses primarily on Indigenous peoples in the lands of the modern United States.
I have a BA from the University of Washington in American Indian Studies and Linguistics and have lived in the United States my whole life. I’m not Indigenous American-just a guy who was interested in American history beyond the 250 years that we’re taught about in public school and got an education to fill in my knowledge gaps. I welcome and encourage input and feedback from Indigenous people on how to make my coverage of this history better.
If you want to get in touch, feel free to reach out: indigenoushistorynow@gmail.com

Very well put vieeo thank you for bringing knowledge to us that schools dont teach us .
Who gives a shit!!!! 😂😂😂
Thank you for proving that the government is still trying to cover up what they still do.All I did was mention how they shot me(which they have been trying to cover up for almost 14 years),force me out,and isolate me to a government housing reservation jail feeling environment while I wait for freedom on my own terms. But yeah whatever I know the truth and the censor of my heart felt respectful comment shows and proves it. I have the scars to prove that they tried to repeat history on me by murdering and killing the direct decendant of a treaty signer who they murdered in 1855. Whatever
When you censor the actual decendants of these people ,you prove the point of the statement of the Victor writing history. This description is still happening and you are contributing to it by censoring my truth statements. This is why I guess you can't really learn indigenous understanding from non indigenous people. Because you'll censor what you want.
Thank UA-cam for censoring my truly heartfelt comment I left on here that's apparently gone! What a joke,why bother! They don't really want an indigenous decendant point of view especially when it talks about the reality of being shot,forced out, and living in a government housing complex that feels like a reservation of permanent house arrest. Yeah when you say the truth and they don't like it they'll just erase it and you.Like when they murdered my ancestors after the forced treaty of 1855. They don't want to hear about any failures they made to the people here.
Please keep sharing more indigenous history from OUR area because they only talk about indigenous history in other areas. Because they didn't take over this part until the 1800's, they just basically ignored the history of it it feels like. 🙂 Thank you
Hell yeah! I’m totally stoked to find your channel. Lived in the PNW all my life, and I am overdue to learn critical history.
I think Ramona Bennett was my grandmother's sister. My grandmother was Helen Val.
StolenLand Stolen lives Stolen knowledge Stolen artifacts
I really appreciate your sumary and commentary. Nice job
During last ice age came across lad bridge to our continent. Eventually got horse left from aSpanish. The original Americans were the ‘Indians’. They got SCREWED! Put in Reservations and kids go r to F’ing Catholic schools!
Thanks for the information 😊
Tricksters being the reason for great change feels very appropriate, as most cultures are focused on simply maintaining the status quo and conforming to the existing way of things, and it is only the deviant and deceptive who bring great upheaval to the system and create something new.
Would like to hear the native version of the story
I appreciate the info but.. none was coming from the people talked about, all was by the invading writers a one sided story Like if we let Sadam Hussein write the glorious story of America What would that story look like??? I would believe his facts as much as I believe the settlers talking about the native
Excellent video. Keep up the good work.
awesome pronunciation man

It's always awsome to learn so much history in under a couple hours. Really appreciate channels like this. Great video.
The version of wealth accumulation in the Pacific Northwest is a very interesting alternative to the Western Capitalist version. Under a capitalist system, you accumulate wealth for the purpose of growing and building your ability to accumulate more wealth. The justification for private property ownership is for the sake of personal enrichment and further accumulation of private property and resources, thus giving you more power in society on a material level. Meanwhile here in the Pacific Northwest, the justification for wealth accumulation is so that you can distribute those wealth and resources to others in exchange for affirmation of your social position and the power of influence that holds. It is essentially a form of bribery, or buying loyalty through gift giving. People become reliant on you to supply them with valuable resources and wealth, and are therefore more willing to go along with what you say because of it. The Potlatch says "I have the ability to gather or create a large amount of wealth and resources, so much so that I can gift them to you freely. If you work for me/do what I ask, I can continue to give you all of this, and maybe more". Meanwhile, Capitalism says "I own everything you need to live. If you work for me, I will give you currency which you can use to purchase those resources from me".
It is recorded that the earliest people migrated up from Africa to the Middle East, to China and to the Siberian peninsula before crossing into North America. And then some sailed down the coast. Europeans sailed from Europe to the Eastern America. So everyone who came to North America were immigrants - including Indians. Except for those born in this country (including caucasians).
Amazing WA history,i remember scenes elementary school they were always trying to push that BS history class story of the first ppl who discovered the America's and who settled first in the Pacific Northwest ..i would always get send to the hallways or the Ps office simply because I wanted to know more about the real natives Americans and their history etc. A 1000 times more than some disease starving European people who had no idea of the landscape language and heritage of the great North américa lands. Schools of elementary should have more opportunities in the future for their youth history classes not just some bs that represent some other countries and hate.
Great content
Where to watch
2 million year old modern human skeleton was found in California.
i love your channel keep up the good work
Wow, you did your homework. I'm always amazed that NW cultures survived through the epidemic years when their populations plummeted. How would customs survive if most of the tribe was dead? At 5:28, Hearne's route did not take him to Bathurst Inlet [as shown on the map], but to Bloody Falls at the mouth of the Coppermine River on the west end of Coronation Gulf.
This is a great video. Could you please share inks to full texts of the myths when possible? Maybe in the information about the video?
The unwashed settlers occupying so-called "America" will soon be a minority in 2052. Lol white boys claim to be the most attractive bruh can't even save their own race!
Good video, I just disagree with your conclusion that humans weren't what drove the megafauna extinct. I get that it wasnt necessarily anyone's fault, and we can't blame modern people for the actions of their ancestors, but this is a big thing among less scientifically literate people. If someone like an average american who hated science class hears that we didn't kill the mammoths they can easily lump it in with the stuff saying we dont need to worry about how we affect the environment. Also people believing that we certainly didn't do it will start saying it more to people who already say "the indians weren't better since they drove things extinct too" and this just aggrivates the issue to confuse people and start inflammatory arguments. It's unlikely among viewers of this channel, but as people talk about it someone will hear it wrong easily, and then run with it. I admit that we really don't know, that's actually the most important part that people need to get to understand science, but we're pretty sure they made it through a whole bunch of "ice ages". The last deglaciation was a relatively normal one, and the same kind of extinctions happened in totally different landmasses following human introduction. It doesn't need to be immediate to be caused or driven by us. Life is generally more persistent with each exposure to the same pressure assuming a genetically diverse population, so they should have survived. The pressure of climate change was a main factor, but that alone couldn't do it, it had to be a reduction in population by some other means that made sure their numbers weren't maintained. It's most likely that bull mammoths were often alone, and being bigger made them the prime choice for calories when surviving the winter as a human. Mammoths were just big hairy aisan elephants, and all modern elephants live in herds of females that raise the young while males will be expelled or leave as they grow up. They mostly just interact with females to mate. Sometimes the males group together, but a lot of time they're on their own, and in the past they could deal with predators easy because of their size, but humans are different, and the only elephants to survive to modern times were the ones that evolved with denser human populations near the tropics for like 3 million years and werent geographically isolated. This is the first time apes with advanced tools first became common. Seperation in time between human arrival and extinction fits the idea that hunting removes genetic diversity, since the effects of inbreeding stack over time. It generally it takes a harsh pressure on a few fronts to erase a population of anything once established, and below a certain population density there's just not enough diversity to adapt and survive long term without help. Being less likely to find a mate hinders adaptation, and this is big when they already reproduce slowly. The fact that you REALLY need calories in the winter will reault in much more reliance on hunting, that takes out genetic diversity, settlements and farms are direct competition for resources and space, and all that on top of climate change leads to a situation almost exactly like what's driving up extinction rates today. They could survive in less populated areas longer, and humans might stop specifically going after them once they become so uncommon that few people have experience with them, but wrangel island was still cleard by people from mammothless places. Humans are smart enough to take advantage of a situation when we need to survive, and everyone does that. The whole mammoth was so useful that it'd be dumb not to take an easy hunt at any time of year even, and one can feed a small group of people for months. As humans advance in population size they become smarter, and figure out new things faster, and it just snowballs until hitting some limit on population size, at least until we figure a way around it. We got better at hunting roughly continuously, and we would have had the easiest time hunting their healthiest members who serve the role of spreading genetic diversity from herd to herd since they were alone most often, and we weren't too scared about spooking herds into traps. If you do that to any population without stopping then it will collapse. There just wasn't much they could do except slowly shrink in number everywhere that didn't have ample food or space. Mammoths today can communicate verbally in some way, and you don't even need that for them to generally be aggressive to humans, and survivors of human attacks would probably not allow any humans it sees to live, just imagine if rats did that to your friends and family, or imagine being one of the last of your kind and seeing that happen, what would you do to the rats? An eliphant is at least as smart as a 4 to 8 year old human, this isn't overanthropomorphizing, we have very similar instincts and we both rely on others for survival. Humans would definitely be better at getting revenge though. Theres no reason to say the humans at the time didn't respect the sacrifice of the animal's life when hunting to survive, and mammoths did survive in the Americas much longer than other places, but that's probably because the americas took longer to reach the same population densities, although they probably didn't have any idea that they could go extinct. After the initial extinctions from human expansion we cause ecological disturbance that mimics the role of those megafauna we drove extinct, and the extinction rate went down a bit where humans had been a while, until european contact.
Gotta love a group of idiots sitting around a camp fire trying to figure out where the Sun went at night…. Sounds like the Global Flat Earth Society.
Or... Alexandria Egypt got together with the Ethiopian Atlantean trek to the Gold Coast and sailed to Bravalla Moor at the mouth of the Amazon River to Machu Picchu (Jormungandr Dragon). Took the Mississippi north (Midgaard Serpent). Minnesota River to Hudson Bay (Templar from Corpus Christi) and St. Lawrence River to Vineland (Vikings) and returned to European tribes. Irish moved into Europe as Tartars. Toltecs, Aztecs, Incans moved into Baltic Sea to Volga River and Caucussus Mts. to battle Huns & Mongols. 1040AD: Federated States of America replaces Odin's Cobblestone Court in DC (West Wing to Franciscan Bay) 1054AD: The Great Schism (Vitruvian Man replaces Herculean form) 1066AD: Viking Age ends (Skraelingr and Stave Uprising in Vineland) 1201AD: St. Clare Expedition (Franciscan Movement) 1255AD: St. Clair Expedition (Irish Orion Armistice, Heads & Tails Accord, Confederate States) 1362AD: Sinclair Expeditions (Scots to Mountain of Rushmoor, start of Aztec & Inca)
I was born here in Northgate Hospital sore my kids same totem pole in front of the building. Now that I'm indigenous I have new rights and new demands. You must learn my history and do things my way the way my people imagined it. Just like an undocumented citizen. Don't test me it'll be a hate crime

My great-grandmother Bessie Stevens lived on the waterfront in Bangor for the Navy. Took it away in 45 prior to all that she used to hang out with princess Angeline, the daughter of Chief Seattle Chief Sealth And they would come up in their long boats upon our beach and visit with her
YOOOO WE FINALLY GOT THE CGP GREY RESERVATIONS PART 1!!!
This video actually helped me understand a lot more as to why the Indigenous tend to be pretty poor, you certainly explained it well
Absolutely incredible video!!
1:07:42 I am a Muckleshoot tribal member and from my understanding/pov the dto maybe they should have become a part of the neighboring tribal communities so that they could be indigenous and not have to be dealing with federal recognition now. You have done a great job speaking southern lushootseed in my opinion, I was a teacher for 5 years and taught by Nancy Bob and Tami Hohn. I enjoyed this video, I can’t say that for a lot of other of these videos 😂 great job 👏
😢for our sisters❤ Gilakasala
Ain't nobody got time for dis!
I'm ready to throw hands over the Chief of All Women's totem pole and I just learned about her 20 minutes ago wtfffffff.
Thank you so much for your videos they are so informative and honest of what has happened to us 😊
Settled Agriculturalists are Native, not Indigenous... no matter where they are or how hard they got colonized. AND IT MATTERS.
I like AtunShei, so I was interested in your review, never watched your channel before. Good review, however your sound is mixed too low. I needed to pump my volume all the way up, and every commercial nearly blew out my speakers. But other than that, good job!
