I made a mistake and I apologize. I forgot to mention that when the Sioux were migrating westwards wars broke out with the Crow, the Pawnee, the Blackfoot, the Kiowa, the Omaha, the Ponca and the Otoe.
Fascinating story about American history, never get bored with the endless amount of timeless stories! Great piece of work and interesting pictures. Thanks for sharing your narrative!! A new Australian subscriber ❤😊
From since I was a little girl I have had a lifelong interest in Lakota history and culture. This is the best and most accurate (to my present knowledge) account I have come across in almost seven decades. Thank you . I also wish to thank those of you who commented and shared valid information and your own stories. Much appreciated.🤗💚🌻
Please do a Seminole War video !!, it’s the longest Indian war in US history & the only Unconquered tribe in the US who managed to keep their traditional way of life well into the 20th Century, it would be a glorious video!!!!
all this tribes and nations small or great...in north or middel or south latin-amerika.. should have an own videodocumet obout their own history and tales.. their own kind of organisation and livig..the own right or judgelife...their own philosophie or thinking about what ist a human position in this world and what not. because we all started to be treatened to loose.loose loose ists meanings.....ist proud,.....and it is a obtion for the pogromists part to make survive the cultures, language and soziallife.....
1513 Ponce de Leon brought disease to Florida natives, war and enslavement of the natives followed, by 1700 Florida was pretty much empty. The Yuchi and Yamasee native tribes survivors fled the British in the Yamasee war from Georgia into Florida. The Choctaw, Chickasaw and a lot of Creeks also fled the wars into empty Florida. And some escaped black slaves also came in. These all mixed into the Seminole.
I had a wonderful vacation in early May. I road tripped through Wisconsin, Minn., and the Dakotas. Stopped at the Lakota Museum and the Crazy Horse Memorial along with visits to Badlands and Roosevelt NP along with Custer State Park. A very beautiful and educational trip.
What would Crazy Horse say about that ugly statue! He hated whites and would try to stop it! Do you know any Native Americans? Ask that person what they think of whites destroying mountains. Pretty sure Crazy Horse would not be happy about white men's faces on Rushmore, two were slave owners. I would like to see a UA-cam produced by a Native American. This production is very interesting, fair to all parties.
This is very interesting! Up to only a few weeks back, I never heard that there were people calling themselves the Nakota, and only believed that Dakota and Lakota were two different spellings of the same word. Imagine my embarassment, as I have been interested in Native Americans for decades... It is a shame how shallow the knowledge about these people and their cultures are spread, even centuries after their peak. Thank you for your videos!
I had long ago been told there were Dakota, Lakota and I assume mispronounced “ Wakota” so the Nakota name is a surprise to me too. This is the most actual history I have ever heard! Very interesting. My mother in law was part Sioux, from what I was told. But I never got to meet her.
@@alejandromadrid8075 Only trivia, of course, but it illustrates most people's ignorance toward the history of the Native Americans. I've got the feeling that even today, there are people trying to hush up one of the greatest crimes in human history, and I think more people should know all about the wars, betrayals and the entire genocide that occured at the end of 19th century.
Nice content as always, as someone with close indigenous ancestry, its so interesting getting to know other indiginous nations. Greetings from Brazil 💛💚
U missed the major part where 2 groups split off and went north and eventually formed the Iron Confederacy AGAINST the Lakota and Dakota and everyone else. I am stoney Nakota Sioux/ Assisiniboine and we are Sioux but enemies which u missed and say we had happy relations with eachother
Hi, I have a request for the channel owner. Could you turn on the subtitle option? Unfortunately I don’t understand your spoken language well, but if I could read the English subtitles, I could understand the narrative that I’m sure is very accurate. Thank you for your kind attention. Hic ;-)
I dunno, I feel like it's the opposite. People cover either native Americans before contact with Europeans, or during what's popularly called the wild west, and the in-between almost never gets covered sadly.
@@mulvaneysjockstrap How did christianity erase a history that wasn't written ? Picts? REALLY? I think you mean Celtic, as there is no Pictish genome known. You are clealy an American with pretensions, as so many of you do. I suppose you like to dress up in a kilt and pretend you have a connection to Scotland too. Heh Yanks and their dress ups..it's cute, but concerning.
They need to have indigenous history classes be mandatory in high school. Because we needed to know this history even if we’re not indigenous it’s still the history of this continent and I want to know more about it. I’m from Michigan.
Indigenous history courses, among others, would be great to see in our public schools. But first, how about teaching cursive , and that male and female are the only genders.
Michigan has a rich history of Indian culture--- Much of the copper up in the Keweenaw peninsula was used to make native necklaces, and jewelry, and eventually used mostly for coinage, and copper wiring---
Was always fascinated with indigenous cultures. Was hard to find resources on it pre internet. I had a close friend while in the Marines who was Lakota. We were close but I always felt weird asking him questions about his culture and history. I wish I had ask him more.
When I was a youngster in 10th grade I did a composition for my English class the story of "Battle at the Rosebud at Little Big Horn" I also commented that the "yellow hair" know as Custer was wrong in instigating the war .My classmates were in awe thier eyes wide open and jaws dropped in amazement that I as a girl wrote about that war. I now am at 83yrs of age.My heart always had empathy toward the Indiginous original people of the Great Turtle Island.
The first, albeit simple, explanation of the Sioux-Ojibwe inter-relationship, and mixed culture, as my family lived and experienced it at our homestead on the shored of Leech Lake. As a child, Sioux and Ojibwe cultural practices were mixed together in my young mind.
At Lake Itaska, there is a plaque that commemorates a large battle between Dakota and Ojibway warriors. As a result of this battle, the Dakota were pushed farther south. There was no love lost between those two nations. Their last battle was near the Minnesota River in Shakopee Minnesota.
Did a prayer walk with the Lakota, of South Dakota, to re-change the name from “Harney Peak”, back to something more traditional and native- “Black Elk Peak”. Walked with/ joined in support for an ancestor of General Harney, who made it his life’s mission to make amends with the Lakota. They honored him and welcomed him throughout the years. Beautiful stuff we walked from the black hills Harney Peak, throughout a couple days. Those black hills are a very wonderful, spirit filled, and mysterious place. You can feel the history and the power of the land.
Thanks for an erudite historical explanation of these great tribes. My heart bleeds at the acts of genocide by the American Government and its military. May they live in infamy forever.
the pgromecrime is not be stopped it happens every hour..in all parts of amerika noth middel and south.if you like to consternate......look for leonard pelltier for ex. no humanrights judge... only FBI-DESPOTISM..AGAINST..
The two Battles of Guararapes, in the state of Pernambuco, northeast of Brazil, were fought between the Brazilian People: Indians, Blacks, Whites, Mixed Race People, and Portuguese against one of the greatest military powers of the 17th Century in the year 1635: The Netherlands. This victory decided the destiny of America... it also served as inspiration for the 4th of July of the People of the United States...
additional info/speculation, and some of it is controversial, this is the best info i have found: Siouan lang group - Started near Virginia BC , moved to Mississippi R and split off: Michigamea tribe, moved & split to W to Minnesota/great lakes and Mississippi R around 1000 BC to 1 AD,then split into Assinibione/Nakota (moved to Manitoba Canada, pushing Cheyenne away from Great Lakes), [they are no longer considered Sioux by others] vs “the 7 council fires” (since 1300 AD) grouped into 3 language groups: 1. the Lakota/Teton (S. Minnesota) : Hunkpapapa, Oglala, Minniconjou - given horse by Cheyenne 1730s then moved west into Dakotas. Fought many wars vs USA - 1854-56 first Sioux war, 1862-64 Dakota war with Santee, 1863-65 Colorado war allied Cheyenne and Arapaho survivors, 1865 Powder River War, 1866-68 Red Cloud war allied Cheyenne and Arapaho, 1872 raids, 1873 massacre of US ally Pawnee, 1876-77 Great Sioux war including Little Big Horn allied Cheyenne, 1890-91 Ghost war including Wounded Knee. 2. W. Dakota (S. Minnesota) : Yankton, Yanktonai - temporarily forced to leave Great Lakes due to Beaver wars 1653 with Iroquois,returned then forced to move to Iowa/S. Dakota 1800 by USA, 1876-77 part of Great Sioux war including Little Big Horn allied Cheyenne. 3. E. Dakota (N. Minnesota, Wisconsin) :Santee, Sisseton - temporarily forced to leave Great Lakes due to Beaver wars 1653 with Iroquois, returned then forced to move to S. Minnesota by wars with Ojibwa also due to Beaver Wars 1700, move westward by 1862 Dakota war, some returned again. Plus other Siouan tribes - The Absaroke/Crow and Hidatsa tribes together in 1500 were east of Mississippi in Wisconsin as hunters, were pushed up the Missouri R probably during Beaver Wars, where now separated Hidatsa allied with the Siouan Mandan (who also moved from Mississippi) and Caddoan speaking Sahnish/Arikara (who traveled from east Texas) and settled as farmers with earth lodges; and the Crow moved further upstream into Dakotas also to farm in 1600s; with coming of horses (possibly from Shoshone) around 1700 the Crow moved/were pushed west, ending up in Montana/Wyoming as Buffalo hunters. The other Siouan tribes followed/were pushing. - Winnebago/Ho-Chunk and Iowa tribes started around Illinois/Wisconsin, they split Iowa went to Iowa and Ho-Chunk went to Minnesota after a 1620's war with the Potawatomis'. After this war, small pox and measles epidemics reduced the population of the Tribe from about 25,000 people east of Rocky Mnts to only about 150 people. The Ho-Chunk signed their first treaty with the United States in 1816 and signed boundary and cession treaties in the 1820's and 1830's. These treaties resulted in the loss of most of the tribal land. The tribe was moved from what is indian now northeast Iowa, to Minnesota to South Dakota, and finally to their current location in Nebraska where the Ho-Chunk Indian Reservation was established by treaties of 1865 and 1874. Meanwhile the Iowa tribe went to Iowa in 1600s where they split into 3 to become: the Iowa along Mississippi R. while the Otoe and Missouria tribes moved into central and north Iowa. -Omaha group / Dhegihan migration - Siouan, the Omaha, Ponca, Kaw/Kansa, Osage and Quapaw tribes all stated as one, the Hoga around the Ohio area prior to 1673, It may be that some groups traveled ahead into the Missouri/Cahokia area as early as AD 500. The breakup of Cahokia, and/or pressure from Eastern Natives, could have been the impetus to cross the Mississippi for good, and make the rest of the moves as detailed below. Alternatively, it could have been the breakup of Cahokia around 1250 that allowed the rest of the Dhegiha people to cross the Mississippi. The Ponca and Omaha settled in Nebraska, the Kaw in Kansas, the Osage in Missouri, while Arkansas became the homeland of the Quapaw. -Mitchigamea - Siouan, W. Virginia BC then moved to N Illinois [no longer considered Sioux by others], pushed to S Illinois by Beaver Wars push all tribes away from Great Lakes, then to N. Arkansas, joined the Illinois Confederation("Illinois/Inoca")(Mashkotêwa). The confederation tribes were: the Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Moingwena, Michigamea, Chepoussa, Chinkoa, Maroa, Coiracoentanon, Espeminkia, and Tapouara. In 1748-1800 fought war allied to Illinois Confederation vs Dakota (Ashâha), Ojibwa, Odawa, Potawatomi, Kickapoo (Kîkâpôwa), Meskwaki (Fox), and Sauk, along with the Shawnee(Shâwanôwa), Cherokee (Shanahkîha), and Choctaw (Châkitâha) from the Southeast - and was almost destroyed. -The Saponi, and the Tutelo - Siouan, moved from Ohio to Virginia and a little North Carolina, and with maybe Siouan/unclear the Manahoac, the Monacan, the Occaneechee; and after colonist pressure/war defeat moved to New York, later traveling further north into Canada. There they joined/merged with the language group Iroquois Cayuga tribe. Legend has it that the tribes were driven to Virginia by a hostile tribe from the NW Ohio area. (Cherokee/Erie?) - The Mosopelea, the Moneton, - maybe Siouan, unclear, stayed in the Ohio River Valley and West Virginia. - The Cheraw, the Catawba, and the Waccamaw - probably Siouan, moved from Ohio to North and South Carolinas. The Eno, the Wateree, maybe Siouan/unclear and are in the same area.
Across the Sioux and other Native American cultures, what were common ways leadership was decided? Was it more based around seniority, or merit/achievement, and were they appointed from above or by lower members of the community? I imagine it was a mix of these, but I'm curious which were most important. Looking forward to checking out more of the channel!
if you gained notoriety as a person who cared for his people and made wise decisions....people would just join your party as you moved away from gatherings...if you made bad choices ....then they followed someone else...it was the most freedom loving society that ever existed....personal choice was everything to them
Apparently the Easter Island natives originally had hereditary Kingship leaders but suddenly changed to whoever was the first to swim out through shark infested waters to an island and bring back a bird egg would be the leader for one year.
Like Katina, the Cheyenne poster below, said a chief was born for it. But if that man was not a good leader, no one was obligated to follow him. That was true for any leader.
What is fascinating is the map, at 5:43, it is wrong. The Dakota were well north in to present day Canada. The MN town of "Warroad" was named such because the Ojibwe and Dakota fought there many times, and eventually once the Dakota were pushed south the area was simply known by the Ojibwe word or phrase denoting it as such. The Dakota raided well in to present day Canada too, there are more then one battles between the Cree (the Ojibwe's northern neighbor) and Dakota. The Dakota were pushed south and west in to present day eastern South Dakota and southern MN. The Lakota didn't make the Black Hills until the middle 1800's (they moved westward thanks to the Dakota moving in to their lands). There are multiple known Cheyenne camps throughout the Black Hills down to the Lusk WY area that prove that information. The roots of the Lakota were more south central and south eastern eastern, hand in hand with the Yankton and Yanktonai. The Nakota... an interesting and often hard to pin point the specifics because on that map they sit right where the Arikara are and have always been. There are Arikara villages known from all the way back to the 1300's in the area from Pierre in SD all the way north to the ND border. The Crow Creek Massacre from the 1300's (pre-Columbian), was certainly Arikara. Back to the Lakota... remember if there is a sleeper "war like" tribe or nation in the US it is the Lakota. People thing the Apache or Commanche as the more "war like", but the Lakota practiced outright genocide. The Pawnee, Kiowa, Ponca, Omaha, and a few other nations can thank the Lakota for their small numbers for the Lakota did their best to raid, ransack, and exterminate those tribes in the lower parts of present day SD, all of NE, and eastern WY. Take a look at Massacre Canyon in NE, quite reminiscence of Wounded Knee Massacre, but we never hear about it....
God, thank you for knowing. Thank you that through you and your holy word and spirit, we know what we must do. Thank you for helping all people with this each and every day. I pray for the Holy Spirit over your creation, God. I pray for your comfort and love, each and every day. God, I pray that you walk with us through all things, in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
Ojibwa history is a very rich and interesting one. They migrated for hundreds of years from the eastern seaboard with other Anishinaabe tribes, all the way to Duluth area, then went east and made a tribal home on Madeline island. So much more interesting history too. Masters of the birch bark canoe they were among the most dominant tribes in naval warfare as well as travel over water… a great history. Produced a lot of remarkable leaders, all the way to today with Winona LaDuke
I've been told by Lakota Indians that Sioux is a derogatory term for them. It was a slander for their tribe from another tribe. Meant close to snake in the grass. Anyone else hear of this? Is this accurate?
The original term is "Nadowessioux" which is Ojibwe for "Little Snakes." Contrary to popular belief, it is not a derogatory term. In modern day St. Paul, Minnesota is the original village or band of the Dakota people; Known as "Kaposia" or "White Rock." Inhabited by members of the Mdewakanton tribe of Dakota. By the river of this village is a cave named "Carver's Cave." The cave is thought to be the birthplace of the Dakota's God named "Taku Wakan" or "The Mysterious One" who is said to have created all beings. So essentially, a holy site to all of the Sioux. This is why the Mdewakanton are known as the founders of the "Oceti Sakowin" or "Seven Council Fires." (What all Sioux refer their nation as a member of) In this cave, are hundreds of ancient carvings, most of them being little snakes. Like the video says, for the three generations of peace there were many mixed marriages between the Sioux and Ojibwe, including Chiefs and Holy Men. So naturally, the Ojibwe came to know well about this site, ultimately naming the "Oyate," (People or Nation in Sioux) after it as Nadowessioux in Ojibwe. French fur traders heard tales of the Oceti Sakowin through the Ojibwe, then shortened Nadowessioux to just "Sioux" and the name stuck ever since. It is no surprise that many find the term derogatory as on the surface, it does sound that way. However, this is because most Sioux people don't know the true origins of their people. Who could blame them, this knowledge was almost entirely lost to history and after the division split, the Teton and Yanktononai came up with their own creation stories over generations.
This was exceptional. I just was stunned when I heard that it was a cow that started this. And no understanding and no diplomacy and no attempt on the part of the settlers to negotiate or anything else. Well I will say I know some people that were riding the trail this year and there was a beautiful tribute to that. I can't say I'm a kind of authority on the history or anything else although I have a good friend who has made a lot of documentaries and is an authority but I will say this ... February 16th 2024 at 8:00 in the morning the Upper Sioux Agency Park will be closed to the public and turned over to the Dakota tribe. And that's history enough for me right now Thank you for this outstanding explanation and I look forward to February 16th.. ❣️🪶❣️🪶❣️🪶❣️🪶
The events described in this post have a parallel in North Texas at Fort Richardson. The following post is taken from the Texas State Parks department: Occasionally, these raids and patrols became bloody, as in the battle at the Little Wichita River in July 1870 and the Warren Wagon Train Raid in 1871. This raid led to the arrests of Satanta, Satank and Big Tree. Satanta and Big Tree were later convicted in civil courts and sentenced to hang; their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment.
They are Dakota and Nakota the Assiniboine split with the Yankton and Yanktonai off from the main group later the Assiniboine split off from the Upper Yanktonai band's subdivision Kiyuksa translated to "Breaker of the law or custom" in English. So impart you are correct however the Yankton and Yanktonais are both Nakota and Dakota.
No, no, no. Lincoln did Not order the hanging of "all who stayed". That is a balled face lie. There were trials, where Souix were tried and convicted. Lincoln commuted the sentences of the majority. He did not commute the sentences of those guilty of rape and murder. Was it too much trouble to put that important detail in this piece?
The story here in Minnesota is that there were plans to hang a lot more Indians & it was Pres Lincoln who commuted sentences & Reduced the number hanged to 38.
In retaliation for the attack on New Ulm, Henry S. Sibley, (Dakota Indian Agent at the time) demanded that over 500 Dakota warriors were to be hung. President Lincoln said absolutely not, swiftly denied the notion, and amended that only the most guilty Dakota members of the war were to be hung; Which totalled 40 individuals. 38 hung dead on the first pull then 2 hung dead on the second pull. (Two initially survived, but were not allowed to be free as the sentence was hung until dead) Lincoln always gets the bad wrap for the event, when in reality had it not been for decades of embezzlement and horrific conditions and treatment by Indian Agents such as Sibley, the war would have never happened in the first place.
Most people don’t know that our great chief Crazy Horse was light skinned, could grow facial hair and had wavy red hair, who’s relatives had no contact with white settlers.
The 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie was a pretty good indicator of things to come. It didn't hold much water. Allowing the US Army to act as policemen would be like getting a street gang to watch your house when you're gone. Grattan was a brevet (i.e. in name only) 2nd Lieutenant, which means he was an enlisted soldier given command authority, basically. He was cut from the same cloth as Fetterman and Custer (also brevetted) who thought they just needed a good troop of cavalry and they could ride through any land. All over a stinking Mormon cow.
This video is about the history of the Sioux tribes. The Sioux are a group of Native American tribes that lived in North America. They were one of the largest and most powerful tribes in the region, and their history is full of both triumph and tragedy. The video covers a wide range of topics, including the Sioux's origins, their traditional way of life, their encounters with European settlers, and their ongoing struggle for tribal rights. Some of the key points discussed in the video include: * The Sioux's origins in the central Mississippi Valley region. * Their migration to the Northwoods of Central Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin around 1300 AD. * Their adoption of the characteristics of a northern tribal society. * The formation of the seven Council fires, which were the seven bands of the Sioux. * The Sioux's traditional beliefs and practices, including their belief in the Great Spirit and their seven sacred ceremonies. * Their encounters with French and English traders in the 1600s. * Their wars with the Ojibwa and other tribes in the 1700s and 1800s. * Their forced relocation to reservations in the 1800s. * Their continued struggle for tribal rights and self-determination in the 20th and 21st centuries. The video provides a detailed and informative overview of the Sioux's history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more...
Excellent presentation. Most don’t realize how the Lakota got kicked out of Mn by the Ojibwa. Don’t hear them wanting their land back like they do of the whites, as it seems natives don’t recognize real estate law
This is not entirely true. Settling Whites had as much to do with the westward migration of the Dakota as did war with the Ojibwe. Moreover, the exact boundaries of the Nakota are very hard to define....historically speaking. Most ND Indians were Dakota (east) and Lakota (west).
You’re mistaken us for our Dakota relatives who still live in Minnesota and were still fighting the Ojibway long after the Lakota were in and around the Black Hills. The Lakota were already living on the plains long before the Ojibway came down from the north, hence the Dakota name for us Tetonwan- “prairie dwellers”. I can understand chasing a band or two out of Minnesota, but not the Lakota as a whole. So they supposably kicked the Lakota out of Minnesota but let the Dakota stay? That never made sense to me.
@IkceWicasa_7 I have tried to read what I can find on Sioux Indian history. From what I have gathered (and gathered is the right word because Native American history is anything but clearly defined), the movement of the Siouian tribes had more to do with settling Whites than tribal warfare. Tribal warfare played a role, but significant migration was much more related to fighting with the ever-increasing White settlements in MN and the Dakotas. Is this not your understanding?
I'm Lakota and I acknowledge that we originally came from the Omaha, out of the Oceti Sakowin we are the only one's who speak the same dialect as them, Ponca also came from the Omaha, the Pawnee as well, the Crow and Pawnee are the exact same thing, Minnetaree got turned into Ree and then Ree got turned into Pawnee, I also have Pawnee blood through Sky Chief, and yeah I know what happened between the Sioux and Pawnee at that time but that lead to Lone Horn's peace, that involved the Crow, Lakota, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Cree and Gros Ventre, my existence comes from that, I'm Cheyenne, Lakota and Arikara (Arikara is Crow for those of you that don't know what you're talking about.).
They didn’t have horses until Europe brought them here. And why are they not colonizers? They moved to different territories stealing lands and committing genocide to other natives.
We know humans have been in N. America for between at least 15k and 25k years, but it seems all the tribes and groups referenced have at most 2000 years of history that can be verified to any degree, and many seem to only have about 1000 years. What was going one before that?
We were here before the ice age, to this day, Native Americans, have the least mixed DNA, bc of the ice age isolation, we were isolated for centuries. The so called "experts" probably know how long we have been here, they just won't admit it. In time, every one will know how long we have been here. The "experts" don't have much credibility anymore, as it seems their main job is to make the Americas Natives, and the Americas, the bastards of the earth. The "experts" have always been very mean spirited and demeaning to the Natives of, and the Americas.
Continent wide wildfires, floods beyond a modern eye's conception and the extinction of every North American megafauna and almost everything in-between about 11800 years ago give or take, thus why you do not have much tribal histories of the times before.
So, this is about the history of a people that have been around for two to three thousand year's.... and of course most of the art shows the horse. It sure would be refreshing to hear more of the pre European arrival history and see more depictions of daily life before the horse, sense that would be over 90% of their history. Oh the wagon box fight on the Bozeman trail... the beech loading rifle was the Springfield second allin trapdoor and only three white men were killed it is estimated that over 100 Indians were killed or wounded. They didn't understand the speed of cartridge rifles and would use the tactics of charging when the rifleman were reloading... but the cartridge rifles were much faster than muzzleloader. And one man lived to tell about the little big horn.
In irony horses are native to North America only, it was the start of the last iceage that cut them off from North America. The Spanish lost around 300 horses of old world stock mostly of Spain at the time in question and they thrived like wildfire for a good 150 years before the Saxons moved west.
@@Ese361The Comanche may have been called Snakes, but the Lakota were known as Cut Throats. The Lakota wiped out infantries and forced the U.S into a peace treaties.
@@IkceWicasa_7 The Lakotas were great warriors but the Comanches held the whites back for over 40yrs of war in Texas..They literally destroyed whole towns and drove them into the sea running for their lives..Lord's of the southern plains all native tribes feared them
Check out Little Crow (a Santee Dakota chief) who got tired of being pushed west in Minnesota and went to war with the settlers. He attacked towns (New Ulm and others) in what's known as the Dakota War of 1862. President Lincoln did intervene to reduce the number of people hanged. It was a bloody event altogether.
Its strange the way this history is taught - like the opening of the West was just some accident that lead to the violence. It seems pretty clear that by the late 1800s, 1) the Sioux Cheyenne, Cree, etc. did not want settlers in their land, 2) the settlers didnt really care what the indigenous folks wanted or respect their rights to their own territory, and 3) the US military was more than happy to come to the "defense" of the settlers. Overall, this really adds ip to genocide. Furthermore, it is a genocide recorded in historical documents and finally, current descendents of settlers - who greatly benefited from aggressively occupying indigenous territories - have no interest in any significant reparations or compensations. Imagine if the Sioux people controlled the Bakken shale oils?
Then like the Hopi and Navajo the same government would have used forced to relocate the relocated because something of value was found in those lands, funny how the same ruling power is just like they were then, just more dangerous and powerful now.
When the Sioux moved into North and South Dakota, those areas were already occupied by other tribes. The Sioux drove out, enslaved and slaughtered the prior occupants. If you're gonna do a history show, include ALL the history.
That's not true. Alll these history things are his story. Our story is that we were separated by rivers. The Lakota are also called "Teton" and the mountains at the western edge of our homeland are named for us. To the east of the Missouri river the dialect is all D. South of the republican river the Sioux are called "southern Sioux" and represent the historic 8th and 9th fires of our old alliance. The N Speakers are in two areas for our Great Nation camped like a buffalo skull across the continent and the Two N speaking groups were separated on each horn. One was between the d speakers the southern Sioux and the L Speakers, The other in the mountains reaching into Canada. Our reach went to the east coast with many lesser tribes paying fealty to the Great Sioux Nation from the Virginia and Carolina coasts in the East, to the Grand Tetons in the West, and from the Republican River in the South to the middle part of Alberta in the Rockies and the D speakers up by the great lakes in going a ways into Canada in the North. The D Speakers did have war with the Chippewa/Ojibwa and they did let them have a home in Wisconsin because they already controlled all the way to the Missouri River. The fact that the first Sioux that were met by colonists was in the east coast does not mean we were not already in Minnesota or the Tetons. It means a white guy saw a bunch of Sioux tax collectors or Sioux traders. The Sioux peoples never planted corn, beans, squash, or sunflowers. Yet they always had these foods. We are from our home. The very rivers and mountains separate our dialects, just as they have since the ice age. we did not come from somewhere else
@@seanfaherty Sioux did not come from somewhere else. Lakota came out of a cave in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota. Hidatsa, Crow, and Mandan used to be part of our people long ago. We have Volcanic names for extinct volcanoes in our homeland that have been dormant for half a million years, yet we call one "Where Rock is made" and another literally "Fire mountain". Our history being in our homeland goes back eons before the last glaciation. The postulated and perceived alternate reality that is academically backed in the USA is that every Native Nation is not from their homeland. Anishinabs were in Wisconsin 5000 years ago. D-Speaking Sioux were also there. L-Speaking Sioux were west of the Mississippi since coming out of the Earth. When Neanderthal still roamed southern Europe people were walking across the white sands desert and making fire pits in South Carolina and butchering ground sloths and mammoths in Southern California. Native people of the Americas are not immigrants. We belong to our homelands, and have for longer than anyone in Europe can claim about Europe. It is time to stop postulating theory that is based off of Manifest Destiny ideologies and propped up using limited evidence while ignoring other larger evidence and the histories of the people involved.
Lincoln intervened and prevented the hanging of many more warriors. The Military originally sentenced over 300 to hang. Lincoln insisted this be far reduced. That is very nearly the opposite of what you said. I was disappointed in that. Otherwise I learned a lot.
Mandan Indians are thought to be the descendents of a princely Welsh refugee party at the time of the English King Edward I's expansionist wars in the 13C. I believe that remnants of the Welsh language are still spoken by Mandan Indians.
You missed the fact that the whole society, all Lakota, Dakota were/are matrilineal, meaning all wealth, and inheritance passes down through the wife, and the clans are the last names of the women.
We never had slavery in the west, but we had this... think I'd rather have slavery. Thats so fucked what we did to the Sioux and all natives. Think after you defeat "the" world power at the time you get cocky. To think Lincoln was not ok with slavery but was ok with this is wild and should be stated louder. It's fucking horrific what we did. We owe them more.
From what I understand that the Lakota people or Nakota peoples came through the St Lawrence Straights and were meet by Iroquois who were a greater and larger tribe. Who brought the Nakota to this continent?. At that time in history were the Phoenician .
It has been proven the Phoenicians brought vast amounts of copper and tin back to the old world, we can prove Roman copper swords metal came from one spot on earth Michigan United States but that's impossible right, nope that is a wrong, even the tribes remembered them after 1000 years lol out of place artifacts were tossed aside as fakes because we did not have the technology to scan a metal to know where on earth it came from with 100% certainty
I made a mistake and I apologize. I forgot to mention that when the Sioux were migrating westwards wars broke out with the Crow, the Pawnee, the Blackfoot, the Kiowa, the Omaha, the Ponca and the Otoe.

If I'm not mistaken, the Kiowa were driven out of the black hills.

The medicine wheel in wyoming suggests that the lakota had a territory much larger than first believed.
Fascinating story about American history, never get bored with the endless amount of timeless stories!
Great piece of work and interesting pictures.
Thanks for sharing your narrative!!
A new Australian subscriber ❤😊
From since I was a little girl I have had a lifelong interest in Lakota history and culture. This is the best and most accurate (to my present knowledge) account I have come across in almost seven decades. Thank you .
I also wish to thank those of you who commented and shared valid information and your own stories. Much appreciated.🤗💚🌻
I realize that you can only fit so much in to a 23 minute video, but there is so much left unsaid here.
That means more videos 😊
Please do a Seminole War video !!, it’s the longest Indian war in US history & the only Unconquered tribe in the US who managed to keep their traditional way of life well into the 20th Century, it would be a glorious video!!!!
all this tribes and nations small or great...in north or middel or south latin-amerika.. should have an own videodocumet obout their own history and tales..
their own kind of organisation and livig..the own right or judgelife...their own philosophie or thinking about what ist a human position in this world and what not.
because we all started to be treatened to loose.loose loose ists meanings.....ist proud,.....and it is a obtion for the pogromists part to make survive the cultures, language and soziallife.....
1513 Ponce de Leon brought disease to Florida natives, war and enslavement of the natives followed, by 1700 Florida was pretty much empty.
The Yuchi and Yamasee native tribes survivors fled the British in the Yamasee war from Georgia into Florida. The Choctaw, Chickasaw and a lot of Creeks also fled the wars into empty Florida. And some escaped black slaves also came in.
These all mixed into the Seminole.
The Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahoe are the only people to give the American army an L.
I had a wonderful vacation in early May. I road tripped through Wisconsin, Minn., and the Dakotas. Stopped at the Lakota Museum and the Crazy Horse Memorial along with visits to Badlands and Roosevelt NP along with Custer State Park. A very beautiful and educational trip.
You will love it . Great trip
What would Crazy Horse say about that ugly statue! He hated whites and would try to stop it! Do you know any Native Americans? Ask that person what they think of whites destroying mountains. Pretty sure Crazy Horse would not be happy about white men's faces on Rushmore, two were slave owners. I would like to see a UA-cam produced by a Native American. This production is very interesting, fair to all parties.
This is very interesting! Up to only a few weeks back, I never heard that there were people calling themselves the Nakota, and only believed that Dakota and Lakota were two different spellings of the same word. Imagine my embarassment, as I have been interested in Native Americans for decades... It is a shame how shallow the knowledge about these people and their cultures are spread, even centuries after their peak. Thank you for your videos!
Why is that a shame? Its just useless trivia.
@@alejandromadrid8075 ur useless trivia
I had long ago been told there were Dakota, Lakota and I assume mispronounced “ Wakota” so the Nakota name is a surprise to me too. This is the most actual history I have ever heard! Very interesting. My mother in law was part Sioux, from what I was told. But I never got to meet her.
It is a purposeful act of the government. The tribes were delt with as animals in the 19th century.
@@alejandromadrid8075 Only trivia, of course, but it illustrates most people's ignorance toward the history of the Native Americans. I've got the feeling that even today, there are people trying to hush up one of the greatest crimes in human history, and I think more people should know all about the wars, betrayals and the entire genocide that occured at the end of 19th century.
Nice content as always, as someone with close indigenous ancestry, its so interesting getting to know other indiginous nations. Greetings from Brazil 💛💚

@@amaurisantos798probably indigenous from South America, im assuming since he said he’s from Brazil
Greetings to you Indigenous Brazilian brother
U missed the major part where 2 groups split off and went north and eventually formed the Iron Confederacy AGAINST the Lakota and Dakota and everyone else. I am stoney Nakota Sioux/ Assisiniboine and we are Sioux but enemies which u missed and say we had happy relations with eachother
Hi, I have a request for the channel owner.
Could you turn on the subtitle option?
Unfortunately I don’t understand your spoken language well, but if I could read the English subtitles, I could understand the narrative that I’m sure is very accurate.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Hic ;-)
Thanks for the video, me and a friend of mine are writing a book about the Souix, so we're learning all we can about them.
I love this channel! You never hear about “pre-contact” native history, which is a damn shame.
I dunno, I feel like it's the opposite.
People cover either native Americans before contact with Europeans, or during what's popularly called the wild west, and the in-between almost never gets covered sadly.

@eingrobernerzustand3741
It's inaccurate. 8, not 7 bands. "Sioux" is French for snake in the grass, not a appreciated name.
They need to have indigenous history classes be mandatory in high school. Because we needed to know this history even if we’re not indigenous it’s still the history of this continent and I want to know more about it. I’m from Michigan.
Indigenous history courses, among others, would be great to see in our public schools.
But first, how about teaching cursive , and that male and female are the only genders.
@@richardtalbott6215Since schools don’t teach there are more than two genders that shouldn’t be a concern. 🙄
Michigan has a rich history of Indian culture--- Much of the copper up in the Keweenaw peninsula was used to make native necklaces, and jewelry, and eventually used mostly for coinage, and copper wiring---
Me too. My great, great, great grandmother was Blackfoot. 😊
Was always fascinated with indigenous cultures. Was hard to find resources on it pre internet. I had a close friend while in the Marines who was Lakota. We were close but I always felt weird asking him questions about his culture and history. I wish I had ask him more.
Gold medal winners Billy Mills is a Lakota Native American! An amazing story and a pretty good movie too!
When I was a youngster in 10th grade I did a composition for my English class the story of "Battle at the Rosebud at Little Big Horn" I also commented that the "yellow hair" know as Custer was wrong in instigating the war .My classmates were in awe thier eyes wide open and jaws dropped in amazement that I as a girl wrote about that war. I now am at 83yrs of age.My heart always had empathy toward the Indiginous original people of the Great Turtle Island.
As someone with indigenous ancestry from Mexico and Central America it’s cool seeing the history for our cousins in the north
Yup 🤞🏽🌎:)
Thanks. Our cousins in Central and South America also have a great history
The first, albeit simple, explanation of the Sioux-Ojibwe inter-relationship, and mixed culture, as my family lived and experienced it at our homestead on the shored of Leech Lake. As a child, Sioux and Ojibwe cultural practices were mixed together in my young mind.
At Lake Itaska, there is a plaque that commemorates a large battle between Dakota and Ojibway warriors. As a result of this battle, the Dakota were pushed farther south. There was no love lost between those two nations. Their last battle was near the Minnesota River in Shakopee Minnesota.
Lake Itaska being the headwaters of the Mississippi, then flowing north thru Bemidji, and then eventually South down to the Gulf of Mexico---
Very informative documentary. I stand with the Native People.
Who??
Did a prayer walk with the Lakota, of South Dakota, to re-change the name from “Harney Peak”, back to something more traditional and native- “Black Elk Peak”. Walked with/ joined in support for an ancestor of General Harney, who made it his life’s mission to make amends with the Lakota. They honored him and welcomed him throughout the years. Beautiful stuff we walked from the black hills Harney Peak, throughout a couple days. Those black hills are a very wonderful, spirit filled, and mysterious place. You can feel the history and the power of the land.
Black Elk is a good pick. He was a good Decon and his case for sainthood is working its way through the Vatican now.
Thanks for an erudite historical explanation of these great tribes. My heart bleeds at the acts of genocide by the American Government and its military. May they live in infamy forever.
Not only our American government but the Canadians, Spanish, french and British all perpetrators of this genocide

The two Battles of Guararapes, in the state of Pernambuco, northeast of Brazil, were fought between the Brazilian People: Indians, Blacks, Whites, Mixed Race People, and Portuguese against one of the greatest military powers of the 17th Century in the year 1635: The Netherlands. This victory decided the destiny of America... it also served as inspiration for the 4th of July of the People of the United States...
additional info/speculation, and some of it is controversial, this is the best info i have found:
Siouan lang group
- Started near Virginia BC , moved to Mississippi R and split off: Michigamea tribe, moved & split to W to Minnesota/great lakes and Mississippi R around 1000 BC to 1 AD,then split into Assinibione/Nakota (moved to Manitoba Canada, pushing Cheyenne away from Great Lakes), [they are no longer considered Sioux by others] vs “the 7 council fires” (since 1300 AD) grouped into 3 language groups:
1. the Lakota/Teton (S. Minnesota) : Hunkpapapa, Oglala, Minniconjou - given horse by Cheyenne 1730s then moved west into Dakotas. Fought many wars vs USA - 1854-56 first Sioux war, 1862-64 Dakota war with Santee, 1863-65 Colorado war allied Cheyenne and Arapaho survivors, 1865 Powder River War, 1866-68 Red Cloud war allied Cheyenne and Arapaho, 1872 raids, 1873 massacre of US ally Pawnee, 1876-77 Great Sioux war including Little Big Horn allied Cheyenne, 1890-91 Ghost war including Wounded Knee.
2. W. Dakota (S. Minnesota) : Yankton, Yanktonai - temporarily forced to leave Great Lakes due to Beaver wars 1653 with Iroquois,returned then forced to move to Iowa/S. Dakota 1800 by USA, 1876-77 part of Great Sioux war including Little Big Horn allied Cheyenne.
3. E. Dakota (N. Minnesota, Wisconsin) :Santee, Sisseton - temporarily forced to leave Great Lakes due to Beaver wars 1653 with Iroquois, returned then forced to move to S. Minnesota by wars with Ojibwa also due to Beaver Wars 1700, move westward by 1862 Dakota war, some returned again.
Plus other Siouan tribes
- The Absaroke/Crow and Hidatsa tribes together in 1500 were east of Mississippi in Wisconsin as hunters, were pushed up the Missouri R probably during Beaver Wars, where now separated Hidatsa allied with the Siouan Mandan (who also moved from Mississippi) and Caddoan speaking Sahnish/Arikara (who traveled from east Texas) and settled as farmers with earth lodges; and the Crow moved further upstream into Dakotas also to farm in 1600s; with coming of horses (possibly from Shoshone) around 1700 the Crow moved/were pushed west, ending up in Montana/Wyoming as Buffalo hunters. The other Siouan tribes followed/were pushing.
- Winnebago/Ho-Chunk and Iowa tribes started around Illinois/Wisconsin, they split Iowa went to Iowa and Ho-Chunk went to Minnesota after a 1620's war with the Potawatomis'. After this war, small pox and measles epidemics reduced the population of the Tribe from about 25,000 people east of Rocky Mnts to only about 150 people. The Ho-Chunk signed their first treaty with the United States in 1816 and signed boundary and cession treaties in the 1820's and 1830's. These treaties resulted in the loss of most of the tribal land. The tribe was moved from what is indian now northeast Iowa, to Minnesota to South Dakota, and finally to their current location in Nebraska where the Ho-Chunk Indian Reservation was established by treaties of 1865 and 1874. Meanwhile the Iowa tribe went to Iowa in 1600s where they split into 3 to become: the Iowa along Mississippi R. while the Otoe and Missouria tribes moved into central and north Iowa.
-Omaha group / Dhegihan migration - Siouan, the Omaha, Ponca, Kaw/Kansa, Osage and Quapaw tribes all stated as one, the Hoga around the Ohio area prior to 1673, It may be that some groups traveled ahead into the Missouri/Cahokia area as early as AD 500. The breakup of Cahokia, and/or pressure from Eastern Natives, could have been the impetus to cross the Mississippi for good, and make the rest of the moves as detailed below. Alternatively, it could have been the breakup of Cahokia around 1250 that allowed the rest of the Dhegiha people to cross the Mississippi. The Ponca and Omaha settled in Nebraska, the Kaw in Kansas, the Osage in Missouri, while Arkansas became the homeland of the Quapaw.
-Mitchigamea - Siouan, W. Virginia BC then moved to N Illinois [no longer considered Sioux by others], pushed to S Illinois by Beaver Wars push all tribes away from Great Lakes, then to N. Arkansas, joined the Illinois Confederation("Illinois/Inoca")(Mashkotêwa). The confederation tribes were: the Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Moingwena, Michigamea, Chepoussa, Chinkoa, Maroa, Coiracoentanon, Espeminkia, and Tapouara.
In 1748-1800 fought war allied to Illinois Confederation vs Dakota (Ashâha), Ojibwa, Odawa, Potawatomi, Kickapoo (Kîkâpôwa), Meskwaki (Fox), and Sauk, along with the Shawnee(Shâwanôwa), Cherokee (Shanahkîha), and Choctaw (Châkitâha) from the Southeast - and was almost destroyed.
-The Saponi, and the Tutelo - Siouan, moved from Ohio to Virginia and a little North Carolina, and with maybe Siouan/unclear the Manahoac, the Monacan, the Occaneechee; and after colonist pressure/war defeat moved to New York, later traveling further north into Canada. There they joined/merged with the language group Iroquois Cayuga tribe. Legend has it that the tribes were driven to Virginia by a hostile tribe from the NW Ohio area. (Cherokee/Erie?)
- The Mosopelea, the Moneton, - maybe Siouan, unclear, stayed in the Ohio River Valley and West Virginia.
- The Cheraw, the Catawba, and the Waccamaw - probably Siouan, moved from Ohio to North and South Carolinas. The Eno, the Wateree, maybe Siouan/unclear and are in the same area.
You did not mention the Hunkpapa group, of which Sitting Bull is said to have been a chief/leader.
Wow-- That is quite a bit to study, and absorb--- Thank you!!
Bison were killed by the millions which was just criminal imo.
TRAGIC 😢
Across the Sioux and other Native American cultures, what were common ways leadership was decided? Was it more based around seniority, or merit/achievement, and were they appointed from above or by lower members of the community? I imagine it was a mix of these, but I'm curious which were most important. Looking forward to checking out more of the channel!
if you gained notoriety as a person who cared for his people and made wise decisions....people would just join your party as you moved away from gatherings...if you made bad choices ....then they followed someone else...it was the most freedom loving society that ever existed....personal choice was everything to them
Apparently the Easter Island natives originally had hereditary Kingship leaders but suddenly changed to whoever was the first to swim out through shark infested waters to an island and bring back a bird egg would be the leader for one year.
Like Katina, the Cheyenne poster below, said a chief was born for it. But if that man was not a good leader, no one was obligated to follow him. That was true for any leader.
They aren’t ‘Native’ Americans.
They are immigrants - from Siberia.
Hope this helps.
and u are imigrant from where @@deletebilderberg
What is fascinating is the map, at 5:43, it is wrong. The Dakota were well north in to present day Canada. The MN town of "Warroad" was named such because the Ojibwe and Dakota fought there many times, and eventually once the Dakota were pushed south the area was simply known by the Ojibwe word or phrase denoting it as such. The Dakota raided well in to present day Canada too, there are more then one battles between the Cree (the Ojibwe's northern neighbor) and Dakota. The Dakota were pushed south and west in to present day eastern South Dakota and southern MN. The Lakota didn't make the Black Hills until the middle 1800's (they moved westward thanks to the Dakota moving in to their lands). There are multiple known Cheyenne camps throughout the Black Hills down to the Lusk WY area that prove that information. The roots of the Lakota were more south central and south eastern eastern, hand in hand with the Yankton and Yanktonai. The Nakota... an interesting and often hard to pin point the specifics because on that map they sit right where the Arikara are and have always been. There are Arikara villages known from all the way back to the 1300's in the area from Pierre in SD all the way north to the ND border. The Crow Creek Massacre from the 1300's (pre-Columbian), was certainly Arikara. Back to the Lakota... remember if there is a sleeper "war like" tribe or nation in the US it is the Lakota. People thing the Apache or Commanche as the more "war like", but the Lakota practiced outright genocide. The Pawnee, Kiowa, Ponca, Omaha, and a few other nations can thank the Lakota for their small numbers for the Lakota did their best to raid, ransack, and exterminate those tribes in the lower parts of present day SD, all of NE, and eastern WY. Take a look at Massacre Canyon in NE, quite reminiscence of Wounded Knee Massacre, but we never hear about it....
God, thank you for knowing. Thank you that through you and your holy word and spirit, we know what we must do. Thank you for helping all people with this each and every day. I pray for the Holy Spirit over your creation, God. I pray for your comfort and love, each and every day. God, I pray that you walk with us through all things, in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
It would be interesting to hear a more in depth history of the Ojibwe
yes
Ojibwa history is a very rich and interesting one. They migrated for hundreds of years from the eastern seaboard with other Anishinaabe tribes, all the way to Duluth area, then went east and made a tribal home on Madeline island. So much more interesting history too. Masters of the birch bark canoe they were among the most dominant tribes in naval warfare as well as travel over water… a great history. Produced a lot of remarkable leaders, all the way to today with Winona LaDuke
@@SquaretailDaddy Thank you for sharing🙂
Here in Minnesota
Best doc on this subject I have heard.
The Lakota didn't settle the Black Hills until 1775-76 when they took it from the Cheyenne through war. The Arikara before them.
11:18 - What a sad, sad story with senseless escalation!!! Think there‘s something to learn from in it, for many, many people even today!

Very interesting documentary👍😀🇸🇪🌅..thx
I've been told by Lakota Indians that Sioux is a derogatory term for them. It was a slander for their tribe from another tribe. Meant close to snake in the grass. Anyone else hear of this? Is this accurate?
The original term is "Nadowessioux" which is Ojibwe for "Little Snakes." Contrary to popular belief, it is not a derogatory term. In modern day St. Paul, Minnesota is the original village or band of the Dakota people; Known as "Kaposia" or "White Rock." Inhabited by members of the Mdewakanton tribe of Dakota. By the river of this village is a cave named "Carver's Cave." The cave is thought to be the birthplace of the Dakota's God named "Taku Wakan" or "The Mysterious One" who is said to have created all beings. So essentially, a holy site to all of the Sioux. This is why the Mdewakanton are known as the founders of the "Oceti Sakowin" or "Seven Council Fires." (What all Sioux refer their nation as a member of) In this cave, are hundreds of ancient carvings, most of them being little snakes. Like the video says, for the three generations of peace there were many mixed marriages between the Sioux and Ojibwe, including Chiefs and Holy Men. So naturally, the Ojibwe came to know well about this site, ultimately naming the "Oyate," (People or Nation in Sioux) after it as Nadowessioux in Ojibwe. French fur traders heard tales of the Oceti Sakowin through the Ojibwe, then shortened Nadowessioux to just "Sioux" and the name stuck ever since. It is no surprise that many find the term derogatory as on the surface, it does sound that way. However, this is because most Sioux people don't know the true origins of their people. Who could blame them, this knowledge was almost entirely lost to history and after the division split, the Teton and Yanktononai came up with their own creation stories over generations.
I had a history teacher in high school he pronounced sioux "soo ex" drove us all nuts
I like hearing about tribal warfare. The battles they fought against other tribes. The Comanche, I believe, were the biggest tribe.
really interesting video man
I met Black Elk Wallace at a Book signing .Lakota..
Unique..Centered..Large Man..WW2 wounded Veteran..He entertained the Japanese Imperials.
This was exceptional. I just was stunned when I heard that it was a cow that started this. And no understanding and no diplomacy and no attempt on the part of the settlers to negotiate or anything else.
Well I will say I know some people that were riding the trail this year and there was a beautiful tribute to that.
I can't say I'm a kind of authority on the history or anything else although I have a good friend who has made a lot of documentaries and is an authority but I will say this ...
February 16th 2024 at 8:00 in the morning the Upper Sioux Agency Park will be closed to the public and turned over to the Dakota tribe. And that's history enough for me right now
Thank you for this outstanding explanation and I look forward to February 16th..

May they rise again and take back their nation!!
Are you talking about the tribes of which the Lakota Sioux stole the land from? LOL
@@cherylfarmer6086
Everyone steals land from someone get your head out of the sand ..
The events described in this post have a parallel in North Texas at Fort Richardson. The following post is taken from the Texas State Parks department: Occasionally, these raids and patrols became bloody, as in the battle at the Little Wichita River in July 1870 and the Warren Wagon Train Raid in 1871. This raid led to the arrests of Satanta, Satank and Big Tree. Satanta and Big Tree were later convicted in civil courts and sentenced to hang; their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment.
Хорошие видосы получаются, спасибо!
The Yankton are, I believe a branch of the Dakota. The Nakota are the Assiniboine found in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
They are Dakota and Nakota the Assiniboine split with the Yankton and Yanktonai off from the main group later the Assiniboine split off from the Upper Yanktonai band's subdivision Kiyuksa translated to "Breaker of the law or custom" in English. So impart you are correct however the Yankton and Yanktonais are both Nakota and Dakota.
Whose land did they conquer when they traveled north?
They Paid the Blackfoot not to kill them and still reside on Blackfoot territory today
My Sioux blood comes from Cresco Iowa into Minnesota. 1870s moved to black hills south east of Bell Fourche S.D .
I had a neighbor who was a direct descendant of Black Elk.
Thank you for this ❤❤❤
No, no, no. Lincoln did Not order the hanging of "all who stayed". That is a balled face lie. There were trials, where Souix were tried and convicted. Lincoln commuted the sentences of the majority. He did not commute the sentences of those guilty of rape and murder.
Was it too much trouble to put that important detail in this piece?
Interesting History!
The story here in Minnesota is that there were plans to hang a lot more Indians & it was Pres Lincoln who commuted sentences & Reduced the number hanged to 38.
In retaliation for the attack on New Ulm, Henry S. Sibley, (Dakota Indian Agent at the time) demanded that over 500 Dakota warriors were to be hung. President Lincoln said absolutely not, swiftly denied the notion, and amended that only the most guilty Dakota members of the war were to be hung; Which totalled 40 individuals. 38 hung dead on the first pull then 2 hung dead on the second pull. (Two initially survived, but were not allowed to be free as the sentence was hung until dead) Lincoln always gets the bad wrap for the event, when in reality had it not been for decades of embezzlement and horrific conditions and treatment by Indian Agents such as Sibley, the war would have never happened in the first place.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Most people don’t know that our great chief Crazy Horse was light skinned, could grow facial hair and had wavy red hair, who’s relatives had no contact with white settlers.
Gtfoh no he wasn’t stop with your pink lies 😂
He was called Curley as a youngster. He never allowed to have his picture taken, so the so called monument is a complete fabrication.
The 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie was a pretty good indicator of things to come. It didn't hold much water. Allowing the US Army to act as policemen would be like getting a street gang to watch your house when you're gone. Grattan was a brevet (i.e. in name only) 2nd Lieutenant, which means he was an enlisted soldier given command authority, basically. He was cut from the same cloth as Fetterman and Custer (also brevetted) who thought they just needed a good troop of cavalry and they could ride through any land. All over a stinking Mormon cow.
Fascinating.
‘Where they hunted wild rice’ 🤦🏽♂️😂 this is interesting and im loving it, but i couldnt help myself.
This video is about the history of the Sioux tribes.
The Sioux are a group of Native American tribes that lived in North America. They were one of the largest and most powerful tribes in the region, and their history is full of both triumph and tragedy.
The video covers a wide range of topics, including the Sioux's origins, their traditional way of life, their encounters with European settlers, and their ongoing struggle for tribal rights.
Some of the key points discussed in the video include:
* The Sioux's origins in the central Mississippi Valley region.
* Their migration to the Northwoods of Central Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin around 1300 AD.
* Their adoption of the characteristics of a northern tribal society.
* The formation of the seven Council fires, which were the seven bands of the Sioux.
* The Sioux's traditional beliefs and practices, including their belief in the Great Spirit and their seven sacred ceremonies.
* Their encounters with French and English traders in the 1600s.
* Their wars with the Ojibwa and other tribes in the 1700s and 1800s.
* Their forced relocation to reservations in the 1800s.
* Their continued struggle for tribal rights and self-determination in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The video provides a detailed and informative overview of the Sioux's history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more...
Curious, was the movement westerly from the Great lakes region because of the Beaver Wars?
Sizi Türkiyeden izliyorum...Çok bilgi verici bir çalışma olmuş tebrikler...Kızılderili insanlar asla vahşi değildirler...
Excellent presentation. Most don’t realize how the Lakota got kicked out of Mn by the Ojibwa. Don’t hear them wanting their land back like they do of the whites, as it seems natives don’t recognize real estate law
This is not entirely true. Settling Whites had as much to do with the westward migration of the Dakota as did war with the Ojibwe. Moreover, the exact boundaries of the Nakota are very hard to define....historically speaking. Most ND Indians were Dakota (east) and Lakota (west).
@@DavidP793 agree with the boundaries issue.
You’re mistaken us for our Dakota relatives who still live in Minnesota and were still fighting the Ojibway long after the Lakota were in and around the Black Hills. The Lakota were already living on the plains long before the Ojibway came down from the north, hence the Dakota name for us Tetonwan- “prairie dwellers”. I can understand chasing a band or two out of Minnesota, but not the Lakota as a whole. So they supposably kicked the Lakota out of Minnesota but let the Dakota stay? That never made sense to me.
@@IkceWicasa_7 thanks for that info. Never made perfect sense to me ,I obviously didn’t get the whole story
@IkceWicasa_7 I have tried to read what I can find on Sioux Indian history. From what I have gathered (and gathered is the right word because Native American history is anything but clearly defined), the movement of the Siouian tribes had more to do with settling Whites than tribal warfare. Tribal warfare played a role, but significant migration was much more related to fighting with the ever-increasing White settlements in MN and the Dakotas. Is this not your understanding?
I'm Lakota and I acknowledge that we originally came from the Omaha, out of the Oceti Sakowin we are the only one's who speak the same dialect as them, Ponca also came from the Omaha, the Pawnee as well, the Crow and Pawnee are the exact same thing, Minnetaree got turned into Ree and then Ree got turned into Pawnee, I also have Pawnee blood through Sky Chief, and yeah I know what happened between the Sioux and Pawnee at that time but that lead to Lone Horn's peace, that involved the Crow, Lakota, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Cree and Gros Ventre, my existence comes from that, I'm Cheyenne, Lakota and Arikara (Arikara is Crow for those of you that don't know what you're talking about.).
Just drove through the Stoney Nakota Nation today.
Really enjoyed it! They did it to each other, then we did it to them. Fallen humanity. When will it finally end? Thanks!
Love the history. Having trouble listening to this voice??
Are they related to the Quapaw? Quapaw means people down river in Sioux, I’m told. And Omaha means, people up river, I’ve been told.
Yes the Oceti Sakowin (Sioux), Quapaw, and Omaha all speak a dialect of the Siouan language.
I’m from Sioux
They didn’t have horses until Europe brought them here. And why are they not colonizers? They moved to different territories stealing lands and committing genocide to other natives.
Ojibwe for life
I’m an American aboriginal must respect ✊🏿
No respect. I refuse.
You are kunta kintay
We know humans have been in N. America for between at least 15k and 25k years, but it seems all the tribes and groups referenced have at most 2000 years of history that can be verified to any degree, and many seem to only have about 1000 years. What was going one before that?
We were here before the ice age, to this day, Native Americans, have the least mixed DNA, bc of the ice age isolation, we were isolated for centuries. The so called "experts" probably know how long we have been here, they just won't admit it. In time, every one will know how long we have been here. The "experts" don't have much credibility anymore, as it seems their main job is to make the Americas Natives, and the Americas, the bastards of the earth. The "experts" have always been very mean spirited and demeaning to the Natives of, and the Americas.
Where's my reparations for living in MN, whites never get anything, while every other group gets unlimited cash from the govt
He means the USA. I think the use of the term know is fairly liberal. The correct term is infer. Its an inference based upon interpreted data.
Continent wide wildfires, floods beyond a modern eye's conception and the extinction of every North American megafauna and almost everything in-between about 11800 years ago give or take, thus why you do not have much tribal histories of the times before.
not ancestors....completely different people.
It's sad the European white eye was so blind to The new world.
God has a place for native Americans
So, this is about the history of a people that have been around for two to three thousand year's.... and of course most of the art shows the horse. It sure would be refreshing to hear more of the pre European arrival history and see more depictions of daily life before the horse, sense that would be over 90% of their history. Oh the wagon box fight on the Bozeman trail... the beech loading rifle was the Springfield second allin trapdoor and only three white men were killed it is estimated that over 100 Indians were killed or wounded. They didn't understand the speed of cartridge rifles and would use the tactics of charging when the rifleman were reloading... but the cartridge rifles were much faster than muzzleloader. And one man lived to tell about the little big horn.
In irony horses are native to North America only, it was the start of the last iceage that cut them off from North America. The Spanish lost around 300 horses of old world stock mostly of Spain at the time in question and they thrived like wildfire for a good 150 years before the Saxons moved west.
Whats the name of that group when looking at them more long term?
Do one on the Comanches the lord's of the southern plains and most feared Native American tribe bro
I understood The Lakota were the most feared……
@@jinka6171 No the Comanches were the most feared and most brutal
@@MissCleo24and wiping out surrounding tribes
@@Ese361The Comanche may have been called Snakes, but the Lakota were known as Cut Throats. The Lakota wiped out infantries and forced the U.S into a peace treaties.
@@IkceWicasa_7 The Lakotas were great warriors but the Comanches held the whites back for over 40yrs of war in Texas..They literally destroyed whole towns and drove them into the sea running for their lives..Lord's of the southern plains all native tribes feared them
A population of tens of millions to hundreds of thousands is just such an plainly record
you ever thought of doing native tribes from other countries? ive wondered whats up with the aymaras and mayan family of tribes
Nice
The video skipped the part as to why the 31 Sioux were hanged in Minnesota.
Check out Little Crow (a Santee Dakota chief) who got tired of being pushed west in Minnesota and went to war with the settlers. He attacked towns (New Ulm and others) in what's known as the Dakota War of 1862. President Lincoln did intervene to reduce the number of people hanged. It was a bloody event altogether.
Its strange the way this history is taught - like the opening of the West was just some accident that lead to the violence. It seems pretty clear that by the late 1800s, 1) the Sioux Cheyenne, Cree, etc. did not want settlers in their land, 2) the settlers didnt really care what the indigenous folks wanted or respect their rights to their own territory, and 3) the US military was more than happy to come to the "defense" of the settlers. Overall, this really adds ip to genocide. Furthermore, it is a genocide recorded in historical documents and finally, current descendents of settlers - who greatly benefited from aggressively occupying indigenous territories - have no interest in any significant reparations or compensations. Imagine if the Sioux people controlled the Bakken shale oils?
Then like the Hopi and Navajo the same government would have used forced to relocate the relocated because something of value was found in those lands, funny how the same ruling power is just like they were then, just more dangerous and powerful now.
As a 7th cavallry man I am ashamed. We are a band of brothers who have been had by liers. Then, and now.
When the Sioux moved into North and South Dakota, those areas were already occupied by other tribes. The Sioux drove out, enslaved and slaughtered the prior occupants. If you're gonna do a history show, include ALL the history.
That's not true. Alll these history things are his story. Our story is that we were separated by rivers. The Lakota are also called "Teton" and the mountains at the western edge of our homeland are named for us. To the east of the Missouri river the dialect is all D. South of the republican river the Sioux are called "southern Sioux" and represent the historic 8th and 9th fires of our old alliance. The N Speakers are in two areas for our Great Nation camped like a buffalo skull across the continent and the Two N speaking groups were separated on each horn. One was between the d speakers the southern Sioux and the L Speakers,
The other in the mountains reaching into Canada.
Our reach went to the east coast with many lesser tribes paying fealty to the Great Sioux Nation from the Virginia and Carolina coasts in the East, to the Grand Tetons in the West, and from the Republican River in the South to the middle part of Alberta in the Rockies and the D speakers up by the great lakes in going a ways into Canada in the North.
The D Speakers did have war with the Chippewa/Ojibwa and they did let them have a home in Wisconsin because they already controlled all the way to the Missouri River.
The fact that the first Sioux that were met by colonists was in the east coast does not mean we were not already in Minnesota or the Tetons. It means a white guy saw a bunch of Sioux tax collectors or Sioux traders. The Sioux peoples never planted corn, beans, squash, or sunflowers. Yet they always had these foods.
We are from our home. The very rivers and mountains separate our dialects, just as they have since the ice age. we did not come from somewhere else
The Crow have entered the chat.
@@tokalacliffordnothing you said contradicted anything he said.
He seemed to be speaking of a thousand years before what you were talking about
@@seanfaherty Sioux did not come from somewhere else. Lakota came out of a cave in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota. Hidatsa, Crow, and Mandan used to be part of our people long ago. We have Volcanic names for extinct volcanoes in our homeland that have been dormant for half a million years, yet we call one "Where Rock is made" and another literally "Fire mountain". Our history being in our homeland goes back eons before the last glaciation. The postulated and perceived alternate reality that is academically backed in the USA is that every Native Nation is not from their homeland. Anishinabs were in Wisconsin 5000 years ago. D-Speaking Sioux were also there. L-Speaking Sioux were west of the Mississippi since coming out of the Earth. When Neanderthal still roamed southern Europe people were walking across the white sands desert and making fire pits in South Carolina and butchering ground sloths and mammoths in Southern California. Native people of the Americas are not immigrants.
We belong to our homelands, and have for longer than anyone in Europe can claim about Europe. It is time to stop postulating theory that is based off of Manifest Destiny ideologies and propped up using limited evidence while ignoring other larger evidence and the histories of the people involved.
You're either a liar or incredibly gullible and naive. @@tokalaclifford
Who are the ant people. Did it not say in one of the myths that they came out of the ground drawn out by loker, and his woman.
Lincoln intervened and prevented the hanging of many more warriors. The Military originally sentenced over 300 to hang. Lincoln insisted this be far reduced. That is very nearly the opposite of what you said. I was disappointed in that. Otherwise I learned a lot.
Brothers fighting brother
Great :)
The Siouan people are in the south east of North America as well still to this day

Is this history according to the white man or according to the Sioux? I am sure there will be quite a few differences! Would love to hear both sides.
always a difference, + and - for all/either
So the Sioux are suing for the Black Hills? Didn't they take that land from the Crow?
i am part Sioux
Floyd: Rumor was that when Lewis & Clark came thru they saw blue eyed Mandans. Guess the Vikings got around.
Mandan Indians are thought to be the descendents of a princely Welsh refugee party at the time of the English King Edward I's expansionist wars in the 13C.
I believe that remnants of the Welsh language are still spoken by Mandan Indians.
Did the Souix and Comanche ever go against each other?
You missed the fact that the whole society, all Lakota, Dakota were/are matrilineal, meaning all wealth, and inheritance passes down through the wife, and the clans are the last names of the women.
Watching in Montana. Nice documentary & I really appreciate you not stating Custer's brevet rank. Just subscribed.
Native American History
We never had slavery in the west, but we had this... think I'd rather have slavery. Thats so fucked what we did to the Sioux and all natives. Think after you defeat "the" world power at the time you get cocky. To think Lincoln was not ok with slavery but was ok with this is wild and should be stated louder. It's fucking horrific what we did. We owe them more.
Not mentioned there is 6000 Lakota and Dakota on 9 reserves in Canada 🇨🇦
From what I understand that the Lakota people or Nakota peoples came through the St Lawrence Straights and were meet by Iroquois who were a greater and larger tribe. Who brought the Nakota to this continent?. At that time in history were the Phoenician .
It has been proven the Phoenicians brought vast amounts of copper and tin back to the old world, we can prove Roman copper swords metal came from one spot on earth Michigan United States but that's impossible right, nope that is a wrong, even the tribes remembered them after 1000 years lol out of place artifacts were tossed aside as fakes because we did not have the technology to scan a metal to know where on earth it came from with 100% certainty
Great video great history lesson, not white wash.
