The Round Valley Massacre: California Bloodshed | Wild West Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- As violence, conflict, and bad blood between various foreign nations, native americans, and settlers erupted on the western frontier, so did the coordinated battles between each side. Some of the most famous wars and the battles that came between them occurred in the American west, such as the Texas Revolution, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and Red Cloud’s War, just to name a few.
However, beyond these massive conflicts and battlefields covered in bloodshed were much smaller conflicts that cannot fit within modern day textbooks. The truth of the matter was, there were so many miniature wars and unsettled tensions that it would take thousands of pages of text to try and summarize every single conflict that existed on the frontier.
Thus, to make sense of these smaller struggles and uncover the fascinating events that led to such chaos, here is the newest video in a series of essays analyzing the battles of the wild west you probably haven’t heard of. Next up, we’re taking a closer look at the Round Valley Settler Massacre and the untold story of a one-sided conflict that symbolizes the overall horror and disturbing nature of the California Genocide...

Thank you for filling in the blanks, sad but true...
Powerful and unnerving. I'm only in my late 20's but I've never heard about this or the California Genocide. Would love if you could cover similar topics both in CA and elsewhere. Keep up the quality work!
Thank you! It is quite the unnerving tale to tell. We definitely plan on covering these types of conflicts throughout the old west. Stay tuned!
What a crazy story. I am happy to hear someone cover it. It is crazy to see how far we have come as a society. It’s also crazy to read a comment above mine talking about an agenda. Some people just don’t understand history. We are all evolving but some folks just don’t think we should. Like making America great Again. Why can’t it continue to be great? Just saying. I don’t think anyone doesn’t look back on something they did in their life and cringe.
MAN PLEASE WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT IS MISTAKE CLEARLY YOUR NOT LISTENING THEY KEPT KILLING THEM OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND DONT 4 GET THEY KILLED BLACK PEOPLE THE SAME WAY BEFORE THE INDIANS SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU? IT WASNT A MISTAKE YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT CAUSE THE TRUTH IS HARD PILL TO SWALLOW
Excellent 👏
Thank you, Bobby!
These events weigh upon my shoulders 150y later, no matter if my ancestors took part or not this is disgraceful and fools celebrate this madness, far from human.
What about the Lake county massacre? Same thing happened there.
Wow I can’t believe I’m just learning about this. So sad. Hope all people killed are resting in peace
Is a story called arena before dragons or the could actually defeat the European expansion for centuries and lost they can never conquer them so imagine in world war One a dictator annoyed all these nations together and he launched a pool stick war against the European and you can imagine they nearly nearly defeated them in that time took that rid of all the European nation states to defeat them included in Germany even Japan even with them they lost terribly there's many times that alliance was terribly defeated so you can imagine people with 411 technology fighting people who can bend like elements like airbenders and the benders are using repeater rapid fire repeat or pump action at 11 action shotguns and repeater crossbows that could fire multiple bolts in the rapid decision and they can also fire rocket assistant explosive bolts that can take out the warships of the day that's a pretty crazy science fiction novel sophisticated more powerful airplanes than the European like I said nearly African-American man that broke the treaty that they stopped they didn't destroy the European powers or the United States I pretty much an uneasy peace between the two groups just give me a pretty interesting science fiction story when you think the native Americans under their rule in under their their attention fried colonial groups alive with the people in our universe and pretty much they're starting bending theirselves so you can imagine yeah the Europeans definitely do not want to fight these version of like superheroes like the boys to try to combat them but the problem is but there are superheroes they still very unstable and not that good as their natural
Is a chieftain or a warlord what they called dragons or dragons warlords individually are very powerful but they have an individual they have like a kind of like a medieval like system but it's pretty different it's not based off a race like in the 19th centuries based off don't matter what skin color you have you long to the wolf tribe or the fish tribe or some sort of tribe or ethnic these animal human characteristics of people I want to use the copy the last Avatar but I like the way they have the bending I wonder if you had a story where European the age of conquest bumped into people like this they don't have no answer to people with natural powers religion nearly based off of Christianity where their Church hunt and killed everybody with these like ability to been like that but the problem is there's some they never saw a person that can actually been fire or water they don't know how to combat them they just normal people so normal people with normal guns and that would be insane imagine an alternate history the fire lord led the resistance in night at all the nations until like alliance to fight off these analogs for European Invaders that could be pretty interesting as a sci-fi movie and they bring in your native American and tribal Nation groups as allies to fight and teach them how to control a bender like for forces and they can control like forest or woods or trees right orcontrol certain elements as well like lightning and rain so you can imagine you have groups that could fight the Europeans using these elements do you imagine they would never be able to conquer but one thing about Europeans there are some tenacious bastards the stories always show them coming very close and failing very badly imagine you have a fire lord who's a good leader in a good general who led all the other nations and defeat in these European he's so pretty afraid of them so imagine they have this ordinance belief system that even the non vendors are looked at suspicion because they're pretty well if you got your asses handed to you you be pretty scared of them and you know
sad story, but it needed to be told
If any group of people deserve reparations it's the California natives
Nobody does. You are not responsible for what happened. Nor am I. Why should either of us be robbed by the largest gang in human history to give to people who weren't victims of said actions?
As a native, that is crap. No one was innocent, and many of us natives deserved it
@@ashtonhaggitt216I ALWAYS WONDER WHY CAUCASIANS DO THAT YALL CELEBRATE EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN FROM THE PAST WHEN IT COME TO YALL DISGUSTING 🫣 THINGS YALL DID TO OTHER PEOPLE I DONT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT COWARDLY
Just saying, as a native American, it went both ways. Where I live, my tribe sure wasn't innocent. Even on the rez's here, it isn't safe for anyone. On one neighboring rez already 3 murders.
If you dont believe me, research how the Yuroks and Hoopas get along, or the Covelo murders, or how the Yuroks on the north side the river despise the Yuroks on the south side of the river. Not like the wiyots just did a double murder a year back on a rez of 100 people. The thing is, anybody who leaves the rez does fine. Those who stay on the rez to get the money turn to crap.
I can't see any mention of your sources. Where do you collect your information, presented as undisputed fact?
This is the sad fact to the tragic California history, land and especially with gold was the colonizers main focus. The indigenous people were the victims of these greedy selfish criminals ! This history is not taught in the school systems and few citizens know the truth, because it is a shameful, dark place this country refuses to to visit !!!! 😮
Exactly!
There was a massacre but on both sides but the side that lost doesn't want to acknowledge the considerable resistance that motivated the settlers.
I would like to ask why there are so many Midwestern pictures? Local, Round Valley pictures and paintings are much more stunning and give a real look. I have to admit that I'm a bit offended of seeing the way mountains are portrayed as being part of the natural landscape of Round Valley. I dislike seeing other native Americans being used as representative of this valley's residents.
Is there anyone else here who never knew California had a deer population?
Really..that's the exact same thing the government did to the native Americans too..what a joke.
This Genocide/extermination took off after Alta California became part of the United States. Sadly, even the governors supported this crime against humanity.
Honestly I’m seeing a lot of parallels with what’s happening in Gaza right now.
There was a massacre in Israel first you know.
Completely one sided white wash of a complex and violent time. I agree there was a massacre and it's very sad but several key items. Selling women in Yuki culture had been done for centuries. To this day there is endemic violence against indigenous women and children. This is true in Round Valley and on other northern California reservations. The settlers engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide but I believe cattle were likely killed at various times by natives. I look at the 1905 Adin California lynching of 4 native American people. They were wrongly killed by the farmers but there was no denying the over 100 documented thefts and constant harassment by the Native family killed. In their minds they were at war but the people trying to settle the land make a livelihood and pay taxes were not allowed to take a similar attitude. In these places and times there is no effective law enforcement. The damage economically done by just 4 people was significant and people thought that there was no other way to resolve the issue the tribes were defeated but not cowed rather stubbornly resisting.
Why does the commentator whisper like he is telling a child a bedtime story?
What bullshit.
Talk about an extremely biased take. This brutality and outright evil was done repeatedly by both sides. For native war bands they were on a mission of total extermination as well. They usua just chose their battles only when their victims were defenseless. That's what preceeded this atrocity.
Good info, but told from a very one sided view painting the indigenous people in the best possible light. Try harder to be neutral and not let your own bias ruin the good information you are giving.
There is two sides on the story. The story of the people already living there and those who wanted to take their land.
Your portrayal of historical events is SO one-sided that it really does your audience a disservice. You do your audience a further disservice because you are so hyper-focused on this agenda that you actually leave out many details that could otherwise make the stories interesting! It really is a shame.
@ Andrew Eaton I’ve researched this topic extensively myself it’s not one sided in any way, they were just telling the true story of what happened, events like this happened all over California during this time and it’s good someone is finally bringing more awareness to what happened.
In what way is it one sided? Usually when you call out someone's work, you back up your claim which i noticed you failed to do. More than likely because you can't.
This made no sense whatsoever
What is one sided in this video?
It takes, like, 5 minutes of your own research to realize this was not a one sided account of the massacres. Shit happened like they said it happened. But sure, make baseless claims in the youTube comments instead because that's easier than confronting your discomfort. White guilt 101.
How is it one-sided? Well, it was kinda my point that this video itself is Exhibit A! But, I'm still glad that you asked nonetheless. I have absolutely no interest in denying that atrocities were perpetrated against Native Americans. The American settlers certainly had a technological advantage in terms of weaponry, but the atrocities were definitely a two-way street. However, if I were somehow transported from another place, and knew nothing about American history, I'd be led to believe by this channel that it consisted of nothing more than Indians peacefully and innocently minding their own business, while being endlessly brutalized by white people. That's why I say that it does a disservice to his audience.
Unfortunately, there are actually students coming out of highschool who believe stuff like this, and channels like this just perpetuate such ignorance. American Indians would kidnap and enslave white people (as well as other Indians). They would cut the still-living white baby right out of the womb of its mother, and mock her as she died... or do worse. They made a literal art form out of burning people alive in such a way that kept them alive as long as possible so that they could suffer as long as possible. This was also done to other Native Americans. Many times, atrocities like this were committed against whites who truly were just minding their own business. Now, you might think that they deserved it just by virtue of the fact that they were on land claimed by the Indians. However, if that's the case, then it's a good thing that modern day Americans don't act like that towards people illegally invading American soil! Otherwise, there would be a lot of bloodshed going on!
The way this channel presents everything is just completely lacking in context. He portrays it in such a way that makes it seem like all of these things just happened in a vacuum. It misleads people, and it's dangerous!
