Sad to say that I majored in history in college- graduated in the early 90’s- and I assumed the myth of the innocent “noble savage” Native American was true, right up until I found channels like yours!!! My respect for the pioneers has increased greatly…
Obviously, tribalism will almost always be a futile endeavor against nationalism. The Indians had their moments and moments they were. But they were in the way, and a young nation with seemingly endless resources and fighting men always on the horizon. // "Where did you get this land? From my father. Where did he get it? From his father. Where did he get it? He fought for it. I’ll fight you for it.” Scandinavian proverb
content like this..the truth, is what i want..and from the looks of the other comments, many of us do..great narration..no BS dramatics is very agreeable to view..ty
Well told, this period was particularly bloody and brutal, I am kind of surprised that they did not make each other extinct! But they sure did try to! Thank you for another great post!
One thing that seems to have been forgotten about the various Indian tribes is that they had an art of war. They were not just a mob riding on horses, but were disciplined and had tactics and orders, be it the Mandan and Cree fighting from fortified villages or in this case, the Cato, fighting with known tactics under the discipline of their chief.
Must of had something going for it , free lifestyle a deep bond amongst the commanche Look at Cynthia Anne Parker captured when 9y and decades later taken by Texas rangers and put back in white society reunited with her family. and was absolutely miserable and yearned to go back to the cammanche's !
@sheepsfoot2 pretty sure she would have preferred being raised by her loving family than their murderers if she had the choice, it is a common enough self preservation response for scared captives to form a bond with the people who hold their lives in their hands, its called Stockholm Syndrome.
Man that chief was one heck of a brave man!!! Smart too!!! Cast iron balls brave!!! It would be difficult to witness people treating other people like that for anyone other than the natives. This was a great story!!!
Well done and the recounting of the true stories of not so long ago, shows the holes that many fashionable myths conjured up in modern times by the noble dreamers . Recalcitrant modern history for fools that believe in fairy-tales , but not you my friend and this is appreciated .
Yes it's amazing how much they have tried to change basic history, not sure if they succeeded as the truth is out there, thank you for the wonderful feedback, much appreciated my friend, cheers
@@wildwestfaces Humans have been and always will be by nature the best of the best and the worst of the worst . Nothing has ever changed throughout our history as a species in this regard and is the same today for every human . To believe otherwise is naivety .
We westerners were never taught about Indian wars. Some white historians even created the myth that native tribes learnt scalping from the early white settlers. We were never told that torture, death, rape and enslavement were expected in defeat by all native protagonists: or that they had been engaged in such activity for hundreds of years. Burning captured warriors alive was expected and the victim was supposed to take it without objection or crying out. This could go on for days.
Very well said ! I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has tried to tell me that scalping was a white man's invention ! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, all the best

I know ! Crazy times, thank you for watching, cheers 👍
I really love to watch your channel. I enjoy the history of the west.
Thank you !! Much appreciated, all the best
I'd never heard of the Caddo before watching this, and in my limited knowledge thought the Apache were the main enemy of the Comanche.

Very true, thanks for this, cheers
Enjoy your content thanks for posting
You're very welcome !! Thank you, cheers
That was very interesting. Thanks and cheers from Oz. 👍
At least they didn't eat the Comanches like the Tonkawa
A brutal existence where life holds little value, happy to read about it, would not want to live it.
Definitely, thank you for watching mate, cheers

They were her family , and all she knew. She was a mother with children. They took her from all she ever knew.
@Sallie-nf8gu the Comanche murdered HER family and took away all she knew, being kidnapped and held captive is not an act of kindness
Really Appreciate Your Video , Thanks ! 🐯🤠
Thank you !

Thank you, yes I don't know if I could have tagged along with the chief !! All the best my friend
