Glad that you got something out of it. I enjoyed a lot more than I thought that I would. I only included a small portion of what's there too. Thanks for watching!
The similarities of pretty much all cultures in things like creation myths, religion and philosophy is so interesting. Like humans have always tried to interpret and understand life but just from all these different points of view. Very fascinating. Love this channel!
If you ever come east visit the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia . It gives the viewpoint of the American Revolution from the colonists , British , slaves and Native American points of view. Very informative museum
Philadelphia is high on my list. I've never been there and would love to see some the historic sites out there. I'll put the Museum of the American Revolution on the list. Thanks!
Stuck in German Lockdown and missing museums over here :( . Always wanted to learn more about American history as I have a father from the US . Got inspired to study more my other half of my nationality due to a visit in the TN state museum when I was on vacation. Thanks for showing us !

At 1:50 your pronunciation of “Anishinaabe” is almost perfect. The first “a” is pronounced like “uh” and the “aa” is pronounced like “ah”. Excellent video nonetheless! Keep up the awesome work!
After watching this video,we are seriously planning to visit the Smithsonian very soon . Your videos are wonderful !! They are all so informative and well done. So glad we found your channel 👍👍

Ana-Nish-naw-bay is how you pronounce it 😊 I’m Anishnawbe from northern Ontario (plain’s Indian in history) The seven grandfather teachings are the most important part of all. We are taught that our drums are a way to connect us to our ancestors and heal us by the heart beat we would hear in our mothers womb. We never place our drums on it’s face. We are not healthy unless we are healthy spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. You can learn so much about the indigenous peoples. My grandmother was a residential school survivor and my mother was a 60s scoop survivor. Unfortunately my family has all passed away. You should definitely do some more history on this. Kamloops has a museum
Our family visited this wonderful museum one very cold and snowy morning and we basically had the place to ourselves as the weather was forecasted to be bad later in the day so we took our time and thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the native Americans. I remember the intact canoe that was on display (we were all leaning as close to it as possible over the velvet rope without touching) and I thought later that security probably thought we were nuts
JD. Thanks again for enlightening the viewers in going into this museum. Peace medals didn’t really mean anything. Andrew Jackson’s signature to genocide. You must seek out PBS’s series on Indigenous history of America called We Shall Remain done about 10 years ago. You’d find it so enlightening. Keep up the great work.
I really enjoy your videos. I have ancestors from the Delaware's and the Shawnee. I used to have a breast plate made from porcupine quill. These are great treasures, my ancestor fought in the Battle of Tippecanoe.
I wish they called it Museum of the Native American. My friend said that they (Native Americans) prefer that, as "Indians" are from India. I'm glad she taught me that.
JD when I was working in D.C a few years ago that museum hadn't opened, but I did go to the space museum and the International Spy museum which was the only one I had to pay to get in.. I used too work in D.C 6 months a year there fantastic.
It was ok but JD don't waste your time and money. Most of it was news paper cuttings, it did have a James Bond car and the smallest bit of the Berlin wall the rest was pretty much junk. So definitely not worth the visit mate. Again a superb video JD.
I have native ancestry. Dna tests fluctuate between 38-45% or so...part of that is from Mexico. I really like this. If you ever get a chance to find any sort of Scots museum on your way, that would be really neat to see.
Binging all of your videos. You mentioned at 15:35 that you have a video on Sand Creek and one was coming out on the Trail of Tears. I can’t find either of those videos. Did you ever upload them?
Another great video JD....thank you once again for all the time and efforts you put in to help teach us these parts of our American history....by the way, have you ever had a chance to watch the movie with Kurt Russell, it's titled *BONE TOMAHAWK*......it's rated R, and I definitely would think twice about letting any young children watch it. There's no nudity or cuss words in it, but it does get violent, and fairly graphic in some parts. Anyway just a suggestion. Once again I thank you for your efforts as I make my way through all of your videos I think I'm on #24 so you can see I've got a pretty good way to go to catch up on what I've missed....just wonder what I'll do once I have watched all of them.....probably go back to page one and start all over (lol)
They would also use the buffalo headdress along with a buffalo cap or coat to hang over there shoulders as they crouch down while walking to blend in so they could sneak up on small or big herds of buffalo to try and not run them off by chasing them with horses they just wanted them to get a little spooked after they shot a few on the ground and let the herd run a few hundred yards and go back to grazing in the fields so they could try and keep there meat as close as possible this was all before the buffalo got hunted to near population when the fur trade went up and paying high prices for a buffalo cape Indians were smart
Where are all the native American giant bones the Smithsonian took from Indian burial mounds ? when we were kids a group of scientist/ archaeologist who worked for the museums came to our town in Ohio for several months to excavate the large bones we kept finding around the new housing developments and mounds they were flattening ....where are they?
I love this channel your awesome I would love to do that and get paid for it. I also had a hard time with native American Names here in michigan so don't feel bad.
Great video me being part Cherokee myself the clash between the European and the Native Americans goes on Within Me and the word Cherokee means human being and we do not like Andrew Jackson he was a hater of the Native Americans
I visited the museum probably 12 years ago and was sorely disappointed. There have been massive improvements given what you’ve shown. What I saw was a lot of very negative current poverty pictures, which are important, but no history, no/few artifacts, no story telling. And for a person who will visit the museum of string...I was so off put, I swore never to go back. I’ve changed my mind now.
Just curious, do they say anything about the peace treaties (hope I got it right!)? More exactly: if 1 chief from 1 tribe signed their mark, this was only for his (part of the) tribe. That's why it never worked with those peace treaties, they could not sign for others.I heard that, but I could never find out if this is true.
@@TheHistoryUnderground whenever myself or any of my brothers would act up, my unci (grandmother) would just reach for hers and we'd scatter like roaches when the lights came on. Them things hurt
Your observation is correct sir, the human IS hard wired to worship someone or something. Inescapable!! The only question is the nature of the object of worship.
My. Cousin Theresa Marcus eating beans for ten years so the museum could be built Ed in Washington DC. She is Serrano of San Manuel Indian reservation in Highland, CA she is in the bia roll in California just like me and my son Alton Richard Manuel 2021 BDM UNLV MSJC student
Imaging having your land robbed, your women kidnapped, your people killed and still they strip them out there clothes and make a profit out of all the things.. and STILL be getting hated to this day! yeap that’s exactly how all natives feel like from the Cherokee to the Navajo and all the way to the Mexicans (Aztecs/chichimeca, etc) and many more. All because of the British and Spanish. 😔🤦🏽♂️ sad part is we will never get our Land back..
MY family is Creek but they put us in Slavery and call us Nergo, I was told that the Indians of today came after and began to settle on the land that was taken for my people, and took the name of Creek because it was our territory, while doing my search I have it to be true. Its time to tell the truth
A view from the UK. Isn't it interesting how, way before Christianity and half a world away, the human race has always had a deep desire for where they came from and therefore created a "Creator" as the best universal answer. Look at the ancient civilisation of Mexico, the Aztecs and Incas. The civilisations of Cambodia and SE Asia. Europe and the Middle East. The Aborigines and Maoris. The story of the Anishinaabe boy and the seven teachings. These people were illiterate, uneducated but needed an explanation of the world and them in it. There are many theories put forward by so called "experts" in universities, all of which is opinion as there is no evidence AT ALL to back up their claims. For those experts that say it's in our psyche, our DNA to want to find out because we always want an explanation for everything - It's built in us. Christianity is the new kid on the block. That's the explanation i'm going with until....
I am not a fan of Andrew Jackson. He defied the agreements to honor the Cherokee who adopted all requests/requirements by the USA and formed a well-organized, Sovereign, Christian Nation and were extremely prosperous in adapting Anglo-American Ideologies into their Lifestyle. Jackson broke Federal Laws and defied the US supreme Court by simply replying: 'Enforce It.' Congress ignored Cherokee requests by their representatives and approved Jackson's Plan for Removal and Confiscation of their Lands. Consequences: 'Trail of Tears'. Thanks for the Video.
For this reason Jackson is my least favorite president. His attitude toward the indigenous peoples was nothing short of shameful. The practices of the land speculators makes me sick. The taking over of the North American continent was unavoidable I suppose, but that isnt much of an excuse. The Indian peoples could at least have been given decent land. Not our unwanted wastelands.
Next time do more research and learn how to pronounce the names of tribes....perhaps actually travel to meet elders in tribes. They were here before everything and you
Noted. You might want to take your case up with all of the tribes who contributed to the creation of the facility that is literally called the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. 😐
@@TheHistoryUnderground I get that I grew up around a “Indian” or Sioux nation reservation and that term is abhorred by the locals Maybe you should consider a word study
I researched this quite a bit for other videos. What I found is that the term “Native American” was likely started from a a bunch of politically correct white people back in the 70s. The opinions that matter most to me are the one whom it affects. In one poll that I found, 50% of the affected people group prefer American Indian while 37% preferred Native American. Ultimately, it seems like it doesn’t matter as much as some would let on. So if the people who matter most don’t get spun up about it, I won’t either. I’ll refer you to how they address the question on the Smithsonian website: “What is the correct terminology: American Indian, Indian, Native American, or Native? All of these terms are acceptable. The consensus, however, is that whenever possible, Native people prefer to be called by their specific tribal name. In the United States, Native American has been widely used but is falling out of favor with some groups, and the terms American Indian or indigenous American are preferred by many Native people.”
@@TheHistoryUnderground I called them Sioux indians at one time and pissed a bunch of them off Your correct they’re desire is to be called by their nation Simply Sioux I don’t care anymore I just wanted an argument Thank you

No problem bud, I think that most would have a hard time learning how to pronounce most Indian tribes dialects and names.
