This video is a blessing to me. I live on the creek known as Hangman/Latah Creek (Marshall Creek, another feeder creek to it). I will continue to honor this little piece of land by acknowledging those who were there before me, learning the language the best I can, working to restore native plants and trees, and making a place people can come to have peace and pray.
This is excellent! I know a man who lived across the river in the 1930s, who found massive amounts of bones from the horse slaughter. This was during my tenure as a research historian at Fort Walla Walla Museum (2010) when I learned the facts of the Wright Campaign through the sources, such as Lawrence Kip. I'm excited that both Dr. Cebula & Jayne Singleton were involved in this production, as they are tremendous resources!! Honestly, I just purchased a copy of Lawrence Kip at Fort Vancouver earlier this week, and have recently passed through the area, so the horse slaughter has been deep on my heart. Stumbling across this yesterday, it is superb!! I'm an educator of history, and intend to use this outstanding film in my courses. Thank you for bringing this project to the screen, as the story told is monumentally important to the Pacific Northwest!!
I am confused, did he just say warfare came for the first time to the Spokane tribe while fighting Steptoe? Indian tribes were always fighting for territory, and they were ruthless to other tribes that were weaker. It was all about resources like the roots and game. The soldiers and settlers were a stronger tribe. The current version of history makes the Indians into victims when they were proud warriors who lost. Stop whining. If the Indians could have killed all whites, they would have.
@@serenityfaiththompson6623 We are your tribe. I don't go to Germany and declare that I am a Hessian with no aggression and demand special rights as a native.
hello! I am one of the kids at bowdish that you visited to speak about Indians and history and I wanted to let you know that it was very interesting. I really liked it and it had so much cool information. I hope I will learn more.
That military deserves his remains dug up and decimated as he did to the Native people. He has no honor and shouldn't be honored as a hero, he's a coward and so are the military leaders above him. They could have relived him of his command and they didn't, they are just as much murders as he was and anyone who participated in his evil deeds.
I was in 5th grade at Nine Mile Falls (which is literally across the river from The Spokane House. Less than a quarter mile, if you take the road.) ....I had moved there the year prior and this was my first full year. We got a new student from a larger city and he, earnestly, asked me if 'Indians still came and raided the area'. .....this was 1995. Even as a kid, I didn't know people thought that way. I imagined my family, driving from Spokane to Seattle and cheesy western music playing "Your Party Has Reached Moses Lake!" .....MS Paint picture of natives in tribal wear on horseback while Miss Budweiser tears up the lake. Nobody swimming in it because......ew. 😕 😄
If these where your family my great grandma and grampa experienced the soldiers scarred not knowing what the future is natives are very peaceful people and forgiving no one dwells in the past it's just interesting to hear how many civil war moves have you watched 😢
@brandon779 The 2nd amendment but it didn't protect the Indians because they were not part of the US. In fact, they were bearing arms against the US, leading to defeat. But, racism and ignorance were rampant, so equality was probably more available in Indian culture.
Various oppressed sects united with exiled missionaries, in search of religious freedom. We get it, but the place they chose was already inhabited, the very same place where "the very same thing happens to Chief Garry,” who lived life free on open territory up until the time of conflict. And in turn, he is exiled from the land of his birth" - where time crept peacefully for the original inhabitants. “The spell of calm” before the storm of military soldiers assimilated Native tribes from their motherland to reservations. The native peoples faced insurmountable odds between adversarial relations. Inevitably Chief Garry anxiously watched events play out in the way of progress and change. Inescapably caught in a no win situation - in which case he did not win. In one heart wrenching scenario; when Col. George Wright took revenge against the Natives including the Coeur d’Alene, Spokane and the Palouse tribes, and the horses they kept. Company soldiers were sent to slaughter the horses and destroy the shelters and feed lodges kept for both the horses and the Natives. Hundreds of horses were made to suffer the after effects; due to the “right of conquest; the right of a conqueror to territory, “land” taken by force of arms, and owing to the “humiliation Colonel Steptoe suffered in 1858, in his defeat with the Natives. The slaying of horses happened nearby the Spokane River. The Native horses were made to suffer a horse sacrifice, a slow agonizing ritual of death, where the horses anxiously awaited two long autumn days for their turn to “give up the ghost.” A mass horse burial of bones remains aka “Horse Slaughter Camp.” The horses were a vital part of the Natives ancient culture and livelihood. “It is what it is.” amzn.to/2PfKC19
They wouldn't have been able to do it unless they had the help of other tribes. Edit... nobody would listen to Kimikin!!! He couldn't get the tribes to unite in a serious manner. He tried but it didn't happen.
Kamiakin fled to Canada a broken man felt he lost everything and blamed himself for no reason when your up against cannons and rifles that could kill at 300 yards The Tribes couldn’t even get close enough to kill a man unless they rode on a suicide mission, Chiefs trusted Wright and were practically hung on the spot
I heard stories like this from my gran growing up too. I still remember her crying, like this story teller cries, when she told about her father falling to a saber charge of the american army. We still feel the pain of our elders. This is just 1 reason why white people aren't that popular with us.
@@moblife223 Maybe so. About like the numerous non native meth-heads in the region and the nation. I'm a CA ndn, and like the rest of the country we have users and abusers among our tribes too. The numbers of non native abusers is far greater though. It was the non natives who introduced drinking and dope to us in the first place.
How many do tribes desapeared that today the historians do not know much about them? Quantas tribos desapareceram que hoje os historiadores não sabem muito sobre eles?
Palouse are still here,although not with a modern bureaucratic Indian reorganization act government....some at Yakama, colville, also amongst nez perce,warm springs and cayuse reservations
Like those of us from th south. Who took th south from native Americans who had taken it from other natiive Americans we all lost. To study the history is good and right. To squall on and on isn't going to change th fact tbough
...sorry for the comparison, ..but it is not the same what the government of Israel is doing with the Palestinians? Expelling some people and taking the land
Some European families have been in the America's longer than certain tribes have existed. The Cherokee (their name not/ European named) for instance. So I'm guessing if we can trace our ancestry to the 1500s (Europeans kept great records) we get to lay claim before those tribe members. Right?
sorry but NO,,,, before the white settlers all Native Indian people,,,, were the freest peoples on Earth ,,,,,you European people have been slaves for generations,,,, even before 1066,,, you English were surfs to the landowners,,,,, Edwin John

I love hiking along Latah creek! My family lives up on Eagle Ridge
I’m Nez Perce and my Children’s father is Spokane Tribe. This video hurts 😢
I love the end when she tells her daughter why We should walk proud and walk with chin up. Thank you
Cousin Bob on the drum 🥁

But yet Natives are still strong and have much pride.
Thank you for this. I shed some tears while watching.

This was in my recommendations and I am also from Bowdish so I already watched it.

I think the white girl who the squaw was talking to was on a movie with John Cusack called Grace is gone.
Well done Warren. Dennis

The government done this once to the people. Who’s to stop them from doing it again?

So powerful. Equally disturbing over the horrific human being George Wright was.
I have been thinking about what were some of the differences between Indians and Europeans. 24:40 is something to take note of.
Native people aren’t greedy and heartless like they were

Spokane Garry had no idea the kind of people he was dealing with. They only wanted to use him for their selfish gain.
Not at all… 😢

Thank you to the Lenape people for this blessed land where I reside.
Thanks a lot for exposing the truth. In the end, Divine Justice-Great Spirit, Mother Earth, will demand accountability. It already started.
I agree
Go fuck yourself
To Warren: I have no doubt you are native, but you are Germanic also, most likely Bavarian. I can see it. I'll pay for a DNA test to prove it.

Aren't most natives crack smokers nowadays 😮 especially in the Spokane area

SO SILLY. THEY NEED TO TALK LIKE THE 1850 S. BIG WATER ETC.
How many do tribes desapeared that today the historians do not know much about them? Quantas tribos desapareceram que hoje os historiadores não sabem muito sobre eles?
Palouse are still here,although not with a modern bureaucratic Indian reorganization act government....some at Yakama, colville, also amongst nez perce,warm springs and cayuse reservations
Love my 1855 springfield rifle!
Like those of us from th south. Who took th south from native Americans who had taken it from other natiive Americans we all lost. To study the history is good and right. To squall on and on isn't going to change th fact tbough
We are taking it back so sit down
...sorry for the comparison, ..but it is not the same what the government of Israel is doing with the Palestinians? Expelling some people and taking the land
Our land was outright stole!!!!
No
@@theecentralscrutinizer9978it is the same
They weren't Indian they were native there's a big difference
Oh, I thought they immigrated from Siberia, my bad.
Shameful what the Army does even today.
Sad
Her face dont look like indian at all..
Probably from Elizabeth Warren's tribe.
what the Indians need to do. when they make money save it and buy land and add it to the reservation. Then they can own the whole state
Tried that,dont work though.Can work a whole lifetime and not buy enough to make a difference.
It was their land, what do they have to buy their own land?
Some European families have been in the America's longer than certain tribes have existed. The Cherokee (their name not/ European named) for instance. So I'm guessing if we can trace our ancestry to the 1500s (Europeans kept great records) we get to lay claim before those tribe members. Right?
How could anyone vote Democrat or liberal after hearing this.
The Indians are better off today.
sorry but NO,,,, before the white settlers
all Native Indian people,,,, were the freest peoples on Earth ,,,,,you European people have been slaves for generations,,,, even before 1066,,, you English were surfs to the landowners,,,,, Edwin John
Says who???
Iam so disappointed in some white early settlers..oregon militia gunned down walla walla chief who came out with whiteflag of truce 1856
