Her name is Wy-Ve-Da my Great Great Grandpa was the last of the Old Medicine Men. my Great Grampa was also a shoshone medicine men.. and my grandpa was a medicine men for the Shoshone. Northern Ute. and Southern Ute. Love the history of my people
I am part Paiute Shoshone and soon I want to come visit my people. I will be bringing many things for Shoshone Tribe, my gift and honor for our Tribe. I thank you for this video!! Love it!! May the Great Spirit watch over you. 🙏
I appreciate the information shared here. I am a descendant of WeahWewa, my great grandmother was Mattie Weah George of the Klamath Reservation, her father was Mike Weah of the Klamath Reservation. I am researching numu history. Thank you for sharing this video. I truly find it interesting and informative.
I am Northern Paiute from the same people in this video...there's so much history about the treatment and wars the Numu peoples had to endure...The Snake-bannock war 1878 is what split us apart...I am a direct descendant of Chief Oytes I am his great,great,great, grandson. My mother was a full blood Northern Paiute from the Oytes Band here on The Warm Springs Indian rez. oregon...I like the video probably view it during a Numu history class we are planning here.
.....I just want to say that I sincerely apologize for the most disgusting acts that a human could ever do, what my race did is totally unforgiving, i do not forgive what my race did to you, you may, but i never will. I sincerely do pray that you get back Turtle Island in the future and then you can truly sit back and enjoy the great future before you once again.
My people were pushed into Oregon and Idaho. My mother people were Paiute/Washoe Tribes. She had washoe mom, father paiute. Washoe County they lived. Many natives hid. Ran and hid away. They destroyed their homes and livelihoods forever. Forcing many to starve. Many people were murdered for gold and silver. Chinese and native men worked the railroads and dug roads. More like slavery. I dont even know what happened to my great grandfather or great grandmother on my gramma side. Washoe people.
@@redskyeagle3456 my brother has friends who are Washoe in CA. They are very kind people, and have been so good to them as my brother has been going through some ptsd related to military service. Seriously, after everything that’s happened, and all that I have ever seen from Native People is compassion and kindness. I will do all that I can to support Native People. I grieve for what has happened. This land is cursed until reparations are made.
I live here. I always think about how it was back in the days of the natives. It is such a beautiful place. I often go far out into the desert in search of relics, caves, etc. It's an awesome experience finding arrowheads or tools and thinking about the history that they hold, if it ever killed a man, how old it is...... makes you think. I'm not a Native American but I have the utmost respect for their culture and am totally fascinated by it and their history.
It is an honor to learn more of the history. This weekend I shall be honored to participate in the "Heritiage Days" where I will be able to honor ceremony with some Shoshone in the Salmon River Valley.
My Great Grandmother is/was Shoshone, but I don't know more than that. All my life I have felt disconnected from my ancestors, yet I don't know them. My heart has been heavy for as long as I can remember and I am 50 now. Strange huh?
Im shoshone-bannock, navajo, lakota n part mexican i live in fh id im glad that i have family that have grandparents that know a lot about native history and been through what it was back then
I love these stories,, even though it is sad sometimes, I would love to just set beside one of the elders of the tribe and just listen to their stories, thanks for sharing this video
Thank You for sharing your knowledge of your culture and telling the truth of the past.Most are unaware of some of the horrors that continue in the current era. I am grateful for all who have come before and have spoken and stood in their truth regardless of the suffering imposed upon them by the hand of "other" people's . love & light ❣️
My buddy, is burried in duck valley res. NICK WHITEROCK, HORSE BREAKER. US MARINE/US ARMY AIRBORN. My name is Billy Brown Im proud i went up there and vleaned his grave off, left him a drink, and some smoke, because i know he would do the same for me.
I grew up in the Salmon/Lemhi Valleys and went to school with Agaidika who were for all intents, forced to the Fort Hall Reservations in the 1970's. These things make me cry. They need to have a place there...back home.
Denise NODAP montes Oglesby My great grandfather was an Irish immigrant who came west to Pioche NV with the mining boom of the 1860s. He ultimately acquired the Groom Mine in Area 51 (now) There were Native Americans that traveled all over the area and had never lived on a reservation. The leader of this band was called Johnnie Pass. My grandfather traded with him & at times he (Johnnie Pass) would camp his people in plain view of my grandfather because he wanted to go to Alamo for something.(Once for syrup) They lived peacefully together until 1947 when the government literally herded the horses (Johnnie Pass traded) up the canyons and shot them from jets with 50cal machine guns.I was told Johnnie Pass went to Death Valley near Scottys Castle and refused to speak to any white man after that. It makes me sick every time I think of it. The water on that mountain range is extremely abundant and has flowed since recorded history. Evidence of NativeAmericans too. My uncle found a cache of baskets in a cave that he said belonged to a tribe that appeared unknown to history. He tried to pick one up and it disintegrated in his hands. He left everything there & when he hiked up to the cave again everything was gone. There is much untold history there. I'm 65 now and have always wondered what happened to Johnny Pass' people. I just found out about the Timbisha Tribe recently. My prayer is that you can re-acquire that sacred (IMO) land. Last time I was on the mountain the Pinyon trees were dying no doubt either for money or from radiation. Peace & Love to you.
For those of you that dont know Shoshone, Paiutes, Comanchi, Hopi and other tribes are related to the Mexica (Me-shee-kah) better known as the Aztecs, they're all part of the UTO-AZTECAN language family. Punidua! Besa shunami!
Pima, Tarahumara, Tepehuan among many many others form a language chain all the way down to central Mexico. Yaqui/Mayo, Huichol and Guarijio are also Shoshonean/Uto-Aztecan speakers.
It makes me feel good that i recently discovered that the Shoshone Paiute used to trade here with the Tongva the original tribe of the Los Angeles basin they would cut through the canyon here in the San Gabriels they brought obsidian and obtained soap stone for grinding stones from the islands off the Los Angeles coastline. The Tongva speak the Shoshone dialect of uto-aztecan makes sense that cultures still remain tied through language no matter how far they migrate from each other.
I have been here 46 years and I always feel I am not belonging here. I just realized today... it was yours, I wasn't here, it's not mine. It's yours land, I should have stayed in Europe. I still am sorry for staying here.
The fighting between different tribes was nowhere near as profligate as we are led to believe. Its true that fighting did take place at times but not anywhere near the extent that the conquerors would like everyone to believe.For these it makes sense that they would exaggerate the toughness and viciousness of the the so called enemy to boost their egos. Hollywood blew it all out of proportion for so many years that people came to believe this was truth.
yeah , they didn't go to anyone's other people and lands to just erase their race , abuse them in various ways , it wipl never be the same , this has to be pointed out repeatedly , expose what they've done actually anywhere they have been not just america
When all peoples unite as one, to throw away the mental chains that make us think lines on a map, beliefs in god or physical appearance define a Human's worthiness of life or free will, and learn to forgive, we shall become more powerful than we ever imagined.
We drive through Battle Mountain on the way to and from where my brother is. I am not Native (in this life at least), but I feel this peace and connection while we are driving through that area. It’s strange, but I like it. I feel it in most places, but it’s stronger in certain areas than others. I definitely send all of my love to all the Native People, past, present, and future-always in my heart.
I don't know much about my shoshone piaute side like I do my mothers Dinehtah way... My father left me shortly after his service in the army at 7 years old, and his mother was from what I think is Duck Valley. So being a military brat with no teacher in the home anymore. I grew up with my moms family more so....
Keep the good History & pass it down to ur ppl nxt generation, yes, I agree we r sure r related & I love it💕 b cuz my dad side of the family has Paiute Indian that live near Tuba city Arizona 🌺 they said they have relatives that r n Nevada & Utah I guess that's the northern Paiute 💕
My son's Great great grandmother, a Shoshone, Nellie Burchim was " accidentally" shot by a Calvary man near war canyon Nevada... We will not forget her name.
1n 1862 The owens valley Paiute( southern most Northern paiute) also went to war with multiple regiments of the 2nd calvary california volunteer army over a period of years. And this volunteer army was tough .and was involved in numerous massacres in ca and nv .there was a Battle of mayfield canyon Bishop C.A / where the paiutes were being chased by the army , in a run down massacre attempt. ( the day before they lost a battle of bishop creek) the army sent scouts who reported seeing a big band of paiutes. the army got to where the indians were and up the valley they seen smoke from campfires, so general mayfield and 200 of his men went to the smoke and chased the warriors women and children and elders up the canyon, and were ambushed by the paiute warriors. immediately general mayfield was hit with a arrow and died. multiple soldiers were killed trying to retrieve his body. they battled for days and there was a indian agent who witnessed the battle and reported not more then 25 paiutes were involved in battle . and they were warriors who sacrificed themselves to let the bigger group of women and children and elders escape. And because the paiute were concealed in the steep canyon the army was forced to retreat back to camp independence some 30 miles away. this massacre attempt was stoped by the warriors. and was recorded. during the battle of mayfield canyon owens valley indian war. the canyon northwest of bishop was named after general William mayfield since his life was lost there. there is a few diffrent accounts or versions of the battles prior to and after . theres actual army notes as proof . during this war the Owens valley Paiute were labled as hostile indians and the west needed protection from the Paiute . so reinforcements were flooding in. some 900 paiutes were forced to fort tejon san Sebastian area. not all the paiutes surrendered Big pine Creek band chief Captian Jaquin jim never surrendered and continued hostilities after the war was considered over. he flew a RED flag with crow and magpie feathers on the edge as a border .other War chiefs of the Owens Valley paiute include Captian George, Captian Jack. REMBER THE WAR CHIEFS!
“Hostile” for protecting themselves and defending their own land. Colonialism is master at projecting their abuses onto their victims. But I love hearing the stories of all the warriors and strength of Native People. Still to this day, the descendants are so strong.
@@ellanina801 you said it best. Here in the owens valley Owens valley paiute of the owens River never surrendered . Only half did. And after the surrendered paiute went to fort Tejon. My chief captian Jim continued to war with the army . In 1864 the US army from Nevada was dispatched to owens valley to fight the big pine creek paiute. This was the exact army that fought the Bannock and other paiute . They came to the owens valley and massacred the a smaller owensvalley lake paiute band. In the massacre of owens lake. This was a army that just got done with many massacres in Nevada and Oregon Idaho and California. The paiutes in the owens valley never surrendered.. we never officially. Stopped war. Unike numuga.my chief captian Joaquin Jim was determined to drive the whites out of the valley. We are Northern Paiute .. we the Numu need to be Respected and given credit as one of the hardest fighting tribe's against the US Army.
@@HarleyRunner I fully respect the Numu People for sure! Thank you so much for sharing the history of your people. It is very inspiring, and I hope that I will learn more as time goes on. They didn’t surrender then, and you are still here-there is something very powerful about that. ✊ And I absolutely have no respect for the colonialist government. Everything that has happened, and continues to happen. I cannot recognize such a system as legitimate. Nothing would have been perfect or easy, but the full history is complete terrorism against Native Peoples (et al). They believe they’re the good side, which is beyond words. It’s a hypocrisy, and people are either brainwashed or they’re covering up what they did /doing wrong. Some people have opened their eyes, and the truths will become more and more apparent in the future. I truly believe that until we make real reparations for what has been done and continues, there is a curse on this land, and any of the people who continue to follow along with that narrative and the lies. I wouldn’t say that my mind is fully decolonized, as I have much to learn, but I will always stand with Native People, and with the land who holds us. It’s so sad to see what has happened to the land, the destruction of wetlands, whole mountains that become pits and wounds, and the areas that are so contaminated they are uninhabitable… the destruction of plants, and animals, and the toxins in the air and water. I grieve for these things, as well as the blood that has been spilled by the hands of abusers. I am sorry if that is too say so much, but this is all grating on my mind. When I learned about Native history in school, it was so brief, but to me it was huge, and it always stuck with me. As I’ve learned more of the details, and even in my own experiences (though I am technically “one of them” due to my ancestry, they will never have my mind or heart or spirit), I am disgusted with it all, and how they’ve twisted things. The true heroes to me will always be those who fought against the colonialists. It is certainly not over, and I’m fighting for your side for sure. Peace and much love to you and your family and friends. 🌈💜🌻
@@ellanina801 1/3 of the owens valley paiute did surrender. But they got moved from Fort Tejon. Than to tule river reservation .where they stayed and are now part of the tule tribe. Bishop and big pine are decendents of Chief Joaquin jim. Chief of the Bigpine Paiutes. I am a direct dependents of the Big pine Band of Paiutes. And round valley. Of course bishop paiute tribe where I am enrolled.. .
@@HarleyRunner Your people definitely put up a fight! And it’s heartbreaking that any of the Paiute or other tribes had to surrender at all. It disgusts me that the action against Native Peoples was “total surrender or total annihilation”, (which obviously didn’t work). It’s so ironic that the colonialists had this mind that they were victims, but they were/are the victimizers to the Native inhabitants, to the land, and pretty much to anything that crosses their path. I’m curious, if you don’t mind telling me, how blood quantum and matters of sovereignty are currently affecting your tribe? I know that there are councils and a lot of self governances/policing (and rebuilding measures) on many of the Native Lands, but that the “National government” still enforces a strong arm. I also know that there are more and more Tribal Governments that are working with other tribal governments to strengthen the overall impact of how things are going in the future. Also, what you and your people are working on right now, goals for the future, and what can I (and others like me) do to help? Like what I’m so far doing is trying to educate myself as much as possible, I’m trying to support Native businesses/creators, and listen to/amplify Native Voices. I’ve also been trying to figure out exactly which People had been in the area where I currently live (so far, I know that some of the Paiute-though not the Northern Paiute, as well as Goshute, Shoshone, and Ute Peoples). It seems to me that one of the canyons by me has some sort of spiritual significance as well, and I’d like to figure some answers out for that as well. More history about your People is also greatly appreciated, so definitely feel free to share any of that. I’m doing some searches, but if there are any pages or channels that you would recommend, I’d definitely appreciate that. Thank you so much for this conversation, and I hope you and your friends and family are well 💜
I so hope these stories are told over n over again .They should be told 1000 years from now ..I so cherish the Indians .n they are in my blood line as well .I so hate hearing when one speaks of slavery. that was not even in the that life of paving only hears of stores ..ok they need to look at what these living humans went threw .
I say slavery was very cruel too. The cruelties were n the whitemans military's hands towards our Native Americans indians lands. Now those idiots n white cultures r fighting for ownership/Power & Greed, what sickening more do these idiots need...!! Lied to our Native ppl all along...!! Took our spaces, lands on what the Creator gave us, we took care of it we respected our lands, but these idiots came w/Greed & Power to Devastate our lands, culture & language...!!!
I live in oceanside ca i grew up on shoshone street i found oit a little history on oceanside an found out the Indians here in california some were shoshone
These are my people. I'm 4 tribes. My people are from Reno,NV. Mound,Walker Lake,Lake Tahoe,Pyramid Lake. My father is from Shoshone/ bannock nation. Ft.Hall, Idaho. .
I am a white British woman and I feel so very, very sad for what has happened. As far as I know I have no Native American blood but to think that people could do this to other people is so sad for us all. I live near where the Mayflower sailed from so maybe some of my ancestors were responsible for some of the atrocities. I believe we are all part of a Oneness so hurting others ultimately is hurting yourself.
I am 59% “renegado” renegade or “Seminoles” I am Mexican Seminole ... my mother belonged to the Seminoles before Coahuila was cut from Texas now belonging to Mexico.
The rise of the European powers in the western hemisphere brought what nearly any rise of empire will.. horrific acts and unspeakable atrocities.. several cultures from all over the world have experienced this, each time because that which will choose Greed and Power over Life and Liberty will ultimately kill their own. Please understand, that it is not about race whether you be the oppressed or the oppressor, but the desire of those that will do anything (genocide) for POWER.
Itz horrific ! terrible truth's ! Dear me , Knowledege can be cruel . Thank God this can be said out loud now & not dismissed as a dark fairy tale. Thanx. Thank You.
My great grandma got raped and dismembered by drunk white guys on the reservation, and the police knew but never did anything. Oh how i wish i could go back in time to the 1950's to change things. I am proud to be a Gibson though💛 Also thats my great cousin? Terry speaking.. Miss you Terry!
My grand mother was Shoshone Bannock, my mother distanced herself from her people, along with her 3 sons for the "white" style of life ....I don't even know my own heritage..
Same here my grandmother is Shoshone Bannock and never taught her kids or grandkids anything about there heritage but now went back to play honored elder and teaches the language to the people but never taught her kids or grandkids anything. She has only allowed 3 out of her 5 kids to enroll with the tribe and has basically written everyone else off.
What cruelty & how cruel for the white military to do such a thing to my ppl. My father's side of the family r Shoshone Paiute...my mom's side r Navajo & Mexicans. That's is who I'm am & my sibs🍃🌹🍃
How much of the Paiute Natives do you know, im currently seeking more info about our people? And if you know quite a bit, could you help me in my research ?
I really wish that when they tell the horrific stories of what happened to the people, I should also say the horrific things they did to the other people to
I can not imagine the ways of thinking, back in that time, that killing and mutilating another human being could be acceptable. It boggles the mind. I do know one thing. Those heartless individuals will be dealt with in due time. Ten Fold.
Columbus, I think was spanish. but wow,the only real people's. I wish as I have and still need to over come. Please be strong and grow in the old ways and teach us all about the way of real life .for you all know the way Beautiful people. one way is open feather ranches to teach and help heal the other peoples. Thorpe the one in the Olympic s let's talk about him.

My name is Billy Brown
Im proud i went up there and vleaned his grave off, left him a drink, and some smoke, because i know he would do the same for me.
Went to school in Owyhee in the 70s .
Hunted, fished and walked the hills from Elko to I Owyhee and Jarbidge.
Saw amazing things that shaped my life.

I agree 100%. My Tribe The Timbisha Shonshone Tribe. Death Valley, it got very hot, it got cold... we knew how to live to be comfortable.
We even surviided the gold rush talcum mines, Borax mines, and there still using the salt , you can see it, as you drive on the 14 highway

It makes me feel good that i recently discovered that the Shoshone Paiute used to trade here with the Tongva the original tribe of the Los Angeles basin they would cut through the canyon here in the San Gabriels they brought obsidian and obtained soap stone for grinding stones from the islands off the Los Angeles coastline. The Tongva speak the Shoshone dialect of uto-aztecan makes sense that cultures still remain tied through language no matter how far they migrate from each other.

A lot!

I am very interested in stories of a time long before this time period. Do u or anyone know any B.C. stories or legends of the Paiute people?

Hey, me too!
Same!
Do you hate White people?

I definitely send all of my love to all the Native People, past, present, and future-always in my heart.
I don't know much about my shoshone piaute side like I do my mothers Dinehtah way... My father left me shortly after his service in the army at 7 years old, and his mother was from what I think is Duck Valley. So being a military brat with no teacher in the home anymore. I grew up with my moms family more so....
Keep the good History & pass it down to ur ppl nxt generation, yes, I agree we r sure r related & I love it💕 b cuz my dad side of the family has Paiute Indian that live near Tuba city Arizona 🌺 they said they have relatives that r n Nevada & Utah I guess that's the northern Paiute 💕
My son's Great great grandmother, a Shoshone, Nellie Burchim was
" accidentally" shot by a Calvary man near war canyon Nevada... We will not forget her name.
Yeah, there’s always an excuse, right. I am so sorry for what happened.
fantastic work thank you
Excellent video. Very professional. The Owyhee lands are a very special place. It must of been something 500 years ago.
I knew about the Seminoles but just found out about the UTE tribe fascinating
If i'm not mistaken..the Comanche came from the Shoshone
1n 1862 The owens valley Paiute( southern most Northern paiute) also went to war with multiple regiments of the 2nd calvary california volunteer army over a period of years. And this volunteer army was tough .and was involved in numerous massacres in ca and nv .there was a Battle of mayfield canyon Bishop C.A / where the paiutes were being chased by the army , in a run down massacre attempt. ( the day before they lost a battle of bishop creek) the army sent scouts who reported seeing a big band of paiutes. the army got to where the indians were and up the valley they seen smoke from campfires, so general mayfield and 200 of his men went to the smoke and chased the warriors women and children and elders up the canyon, and were ambushed by the paiute warriors. immediately general mayfield was hit with a arrow and died. multiple soldiers were killed trying to retrieve his body. they battled for days and there was a indian agent who witnessed the battle and reported not more then 25 paiutes were involved in battle . and they were warriors who sacrificed themselves to let the bigger group of women and children and elders escape. And because the paiute were concealed in the steep canyon the army was forced to retreat back to camp independence some 30 miles away. this massacre attempt was stoped by the warriors. and was recorded. during the battle of mayfield canyon owens valley indian war. the canyon northwest of bishop was named after general William mayfield since his life was lost there. there is a few diffrent accounts or versions of the battles prior to and after . theres actual army notes as proof . during this war the Owens valley Paiute were labled as hostile indians and the west needed protection from the Paiute . so reinforcements were flooding in. some 900 paiutes were forced to fort tejon san Sebastian area. not all the paiutes surrendered Big pine Creek band chief Captian Jaquin jim never surrendered and continued hostilities after the war was considered over. he flew a RED flag with crow and magpie feathers on the edge as a border .other War chiefs of the Owens Valley paiute include Captian George, Captian Jack. REMBER THE WAR CHIEFS!
“Hostile” for protecting themselves and defending their own land. Colonialism is master at projecting their abuses onto their victims. But I love hearing the stories of all the warriors and strength of Native People. Still to this day, the descendants are so strong.
@@ellanina801 you said it best. Here in the owens valley Owens valley paiute of the owens River never surrendered . Only half did. And after the surrendered paiute went to fort Tejon. My chief captian Jim continued to war with the army . In 1864 the US army from Nevada was dispatched to owens valley to fight the big pine creek paiute. This was the exact army that fought the Bannock and other paiute . They came to the owens valley and massacred the a smaller owensvalley lake paiute band. In the massacre of owens lake. This was a army that just got done with many massacres in Nevada and Oregon Idaho and California. The paiutes in the owens valley never surrendered.. we never officially. Stopped war. Unike numuga.my chief captian Joaquin Jim was determined to drive the whites out of the valley. We are Northern Paiute .. we the Numu need to be Respected and given credit as one of the hardest fighting tribe's against the US Army.
@@HarleyRunner I fully respect the Numu People for sure! Thank you so much for sharing the history of your people. It is very inspiring, and I hope that I will learn more as time goes on. They didn’t surrender then, and you are still here-there is something very powerful about that. ✊
And I absolutely have no respect for the colonialist government. Everything that has happened, and continues to happen. I cannot recognize such a system as legitimate. Nothing would have been perfect or easy, but the full history is complete terrorism against Native Peoples (et al). They believe they’re the good side, which is beyond words. It’s a hypocrisy, and people are either brainwashed or they’re covering up what they did /doing wrong. Some people have opened their eyes, and the truths will become more and more apparent in the future. I truly believe that until we make real reparations for what has been done and continues, there is a curse on this land, and any of the people who continue to follow along with that narrative and the lies.
I wouldn’t say that my mind is fully decolonized, as I have much to learn, but I will always stand with Native People, and with the land who holds us. It’s so sad to see what has happened to the land, the destruction of wetlands, whole mountains that become pits and wounds, and the areas that are so contaminated they are uninhabitable… the destruction of plants, and animals, and the toxins in the air and water. I grieve for these things, as well as the blood that has been spilled by the hands of abusers.
I am sorry if that is too say so much, but this is all grating on my mind. When I learned about Native history in school, it was so brief, but to me it was huge, and it always stuck with me. As I’ve learned more of the details, and even in my own experiences (though I am technically “one of them” due to my ancestry, they will never have my mind or heart or spirit), I am disgusted with it all, and how they’ve twisted things. The true heroes to me will always be those who fought against the colonialists. It is certainly not over, and I’m fighting for your side for sure.
Peace and much love to you and your family and friends. 🌈💜🌻
@@ellanina801 1/3 of the owens valley paiute did surrender. But they got moved from Fort Tejon. Than to tule river reservation .where they stayed and are now part of the tule tribe. Bishop and big pine are decendents of Chief Joaquin jim. Chief of the Bigpine Paiutes. I am a direct dependents of the Big pine Band of Paiutes. And round valley. Of course bishop paiute tribe where I am enrolled.. .
@@HarleyRunner Your people definitely put up a fight! And it’s heartbreaking that any of the Paiute or other tribes had to surrender at all. It disgusts me that the action against Native Peoples was “total surrender or total annihilation”, (which obviously didn’t work). It’s so ironic that the colonialists had this mind that they were victims, but they were/are the victimizers to the Native inhabitants, to the land, and pretty much to anything that crosses their path.
I’m curious, if you don’t mind telling me, how blood quantum and matters of sovereignty are currently affecting your tribe? I know that there are councils and a lot of self governances/policing (and rebuilding measures) on many of the Native Lands, but that the “National government” still enforces a strong arm. I also know that there are more and more Tribal Governments that are working with other tribal governments to strengthen the overall impact of how things are going in the future. Also, what you and your people are working on right now, goals for the future, and what can I (and others like me) do to help?
Like what I’m so far doing is trying to educate myself as much as possible, I’m trying to support Native businesses/creators, and listen to/amplify Native Voices. I’ve also been trying to figure out exactly which People had been in the area where I currently live (so far, I know that some of the Paiute-though not the Northern Paiute, as well as Goshute, Shoshone, and Ute Peoples). It seems to me that one of the canyons by me has some sort of spiritual significance as well, and I’d like to figure some answers out for that as well.
More history about your People is also greatly appreciated, so definitely feel free to share any of that. I’m doing some searches, but if there are any pages or channels that you would recommend, I’d definitely appreciate that.
Thank you so much for this conversation, and I hope you and your friends and family are well 💜
This tribe came through in my akash records was interesting messages that came through ❤❤❤❤
did this just cut out? wth
I so hope these stories are told over n over again .They should be told 1000 years from now ..I so cherish the Indians .n they are in my blood line as well .I so hate hearing when one speaks of slavery. that was not even in the that life of paving only hears of stores ..ok they need to look at what these living humans went threw .
OMG
I say slavery was very cruel too. The cruelties were n the whitemans military's hands towards our Native Americans indians lands. Now those idiots n white cultures r fighting for ownership/Power & Greed, what sickening more do these idiots need...!! Lied to our Native ppl all along...!! Took our spaces, lands on what the Creator gave us, we took care of it we respected our lands, but these idiots came w/Greed & Power to Devastate our lands, culture & language...!!!
Native people indured a lot . You are still here the circle of Life goes on.
The blood of our people is calling for justice ... justice is here.
Oh is it? What are you gonna do then?
✊

These are my people. I'm 4 tribes. My people are from Reno,NV. Mound,Walker Lake,Lake Tahoe,Pyramid Lake. My father is from Shoshone/ bannock nation. Ft.Hall, Idaho. .
I am here cause a co worker is a Native from this Tribe.
I am a white British woman and I feel so very, very sad for what has happened. As far as I know I have no Native American blood but to think that people could do this to other people is so sad for us all.
I live near where the Mayflower sailed from so maybe some of my ancestors were responsible for some of the atrocities.
I believe we are all part of a Oneness so hurting others ultimately is hurting yourself.
My great grandfather was apparently Shoshone. He lived in ely, Nevada but was born in Texas. No one in the family really knows about him.
great video
What are those
RIP Uncle Terry miss you
Being part Shosoni I have so much pain for my ancestors. Being of other races also I have to hang my head in shame.

The rise of the European powers in the western hemisphere brought what nearly any rise of empire will.. horrific acts and unspeakable atrocities.. several cultures from all over the world have experienced this, each time because that which will choose Greed and Power over Life and Liberty will ultimately kill their own.
Please understand, that it is not about race whether you be the oppressed or the oppressor, but the desire of those that will do anything (genocide) for POWER.
Amen
@@philliplong7873 you have any questions about time for me would love for me
I agree🌷✨👍👍👍👍
Itz horrific ! terrible truth's ! Dear me , Knowledege can be cruel . Thank God this can be said out loud now & not dismissed as a dark fairy tale. Thanx. Thank You.
My great grandma got raped and dismembered by drunk white guys on the reservation, and the police knew but never did anything. Oh how i wish i could go back in time to the 1950's to change things. I am proud to be a Gibson though💛
Also thats my great cousin? Terry speaking.. Miss you Terry!
I am so sorry to hear that happened to your grandma. I hope we can do more for missing and murdered Indigenous People-that stuff is still happening.
I love it.vickey like it.
Absolutely disgusting what happened to those people, what a disgrace.
Très belle vidéo
As a great philosopher said "indigenous people and Capitalism cannot to live together"
My grand mother was Shoshone Bannock, my mother distanced herself from her people, along with her 3 sons for the "white" style of life ....I don't even know my own heritage..
Same here my grandmother is Shoshone Bannock and never taught her kids or grandkids anything about there heritage but now went back to play honored elder and teaches the language to the people but never taught her kids or grandkids anything.
She has only allowed 3 out of her 5 kids to enroll with the tribe and has basically written everyone else off.
Thank you for this 👏👏👏 ✊
Sho-Pai forever
@samsnames Lol, what? If you're saying all Native Americans are atheists, you're wrong. Just saying...
All my Native American friends are Christians that love America.
What cruelty & how cruel for the white military to do such a thing to my ppl. My father's side of the family r Shoshone Paiute...my mom's side r Navajo & Mexicans. That's is who I'm am & my sibs🍃🌹🍃

I can not imagine the ways of thinking, back in that time, that killing and mutilating another human being could be acceptable. It boggles the mind. I do know one thing. Those heartless individuals will be dealt with in due time. Ten Fold.
