Each tribe was not the same. Each had their own beautiful language, songs, traditions, and beliefs. Indigenous history is a beautiful thing, and should be taught correctly, and honestly!
They tortured and murdered in the most sickening way, when I hear of Your "beautiful" tribes i recall the factual stories of children being roasted alive. Ya sick bastard !
I learned long ago from a book which means not native....that apache women were the ones that could keep captives under torture alive longer than any. Well no idea if that or this is true. Also learned l9ng ago that white history had little truth in it about any of the native Americans. OH well....how shocking. Before any yell... my damn birth certificate has a ...w..... I will tell it it represents wild wonderful or even weird.... matters not to me what it represents in any minds. Most proud of the Apache blood that runs threw me.
Im a 77 year old white man. My step dad was born in 1918 on a Comanche indian reservation in Oklahoma, the youngest of 18 children. I was 13 when i foind out he could speak the Comanche language and had an indian name, changed when he joined the army in WWII. His name was Nest Of Eagles. His dad, my grandfather, was a Texas Ranger who bought stolen horses from the Comanches. I found out all of this when i was 13, and his brother, my uncle, came to visit us.
you know this bc you didn't read it from a history book, history books in schools wasn't written by the people defending their ancestral home. you know this bc your uncle told you about a man who couldn't keep his name, your uncles brother. you saw the truth in his eyes... i have a story too, my moms uncle, and my grandfather arrived here from 'the old country', from Sicily .... running from war... later my uncle was part of the saint valentines day mafioso massacre .. the victory for Capones organization is known. im also dutch, scot and english, by default im my own enemy. my husband was full amskapi piikani, aka blackfeet .. under the blackfoot nation umbrella .. i tell my kids to avenge their daddy and take over the planet. ; )) or at least my daughter should stay away from church, learn the history and then choose whatever based on choice, rather than lies told by whoever, or truths told by whoever thank you for your story
@@kensanity178 Hello kensanity, Treasure your Oral History, record it and have it transcribed (easy to do now with AI). Put a transcript in the National Archive, Put a copy with the Comanche Tribal Authority and put a copy in your local library, give copies to your kids if you have them
I am Irish, English, and Apache. My, several times great, grandmother was the daughter of an Apache chief. Alway love reading about the lives of the American Indian people.
I wonder where all of these weak men came from who are called Americans. There are a few strong men who are able to use self control but you can hardly tell who's who until you get to know them really. Must be halfbreeds who practice no additive tendencies, and are able to raise real men ??? I am truly baffled at times
When military officers from US & EUROPEAN they all agreed. The Comanche off of their horses looked very weak, small, no one would fear them(unless they knew they were Comanches) ECT. Once the Comanche got onto their horse they transformed into one with their horse. Turned into the most feared, Became the LORDS OF THE PLAINS,,everyone feared.
@joehayward2631 not overwhelming numbers far from it, disease worked both ways ie syphilis. Greed corruption and technology was just a superior group, Cortes smashed the Mexicans with less than 500 men, the native Americans had repeating rifles before the US cavalry. They got smashed as they were inferior warriors as history proved. Moaning about technology is just away of admitting they were less technical never invented much lived like stoneage Europeans. Vicious brutal surrender merchants, if they were that good they would have won but hey princess they never dry your eyes and deal with it. Their best warrior was a white man called Parker
@@saltshaker1776True, reality is they're indigenous to Asia and colonized America's. Why there's mixed up haplogroups in their genome with dates of introgression that came after their migration across cause there were already others here.
Celebrating your culture should be done with discernment. If you embrace the positive but reject the cruelty I can surf your wave. But if you admire the unspeakable atrocities, that´s sick. That would be like me celebrating and condoning the European genocide of Native Americans---pretty phooking sick as well.
As an indigenous Maori from New Zealand I love hearing these stories from other indigenous people the Native American Culture is beautiful it’s an injustice that America doesn’t give them the respect they deserve
I myself a New Zealand indigenous born love love listening stories and watching movies about indigenous native American culture and i also love love their long black hair. My great great grandmother’s hair was down to her backside my beautiful mum her hair down to knees that I miss so so much my mum and my little sister her long hair was just above her ankles but unfortunately little sister cut her hair so sad
I'm from the Diegueño tribe, also known as Kumeyaay, we're a peaceful tribe and were originally along the southern Pacific Coast highway the San Diego area. Were fisherman, grew gardens, we wove baskets, our trouble came with the Spaniards, we were pushed up into the San Diego mountains, my grandma told us about how her father and other men in the tribe used to hide the kids in the caves at night and take turns watching over them because the priests would kidnap the kids and use them as slaves to build the San Diego missions.
Priest, right, Priests, fricking Catholic Priests, They probably raped them too. I hate organized religions. They are only there to control the people.
@@RobertWindedahl No argument from this white man here who also happens to be a Spanish lineage. My ancestors proved their cruelty such subjugating the Native Americans South of the border. The Conquistadors of Spain destroyed the Aztecs to the Incas Empires even down to the tip of South America that was named by the Spaniards as Patagonia.you
There is so much beauty and honor and reverance in Native life - in all mankind - and yet so much violence and capacity to hurt others. Joy and heartache.
Even the Apache were afraid of the Comanches and hated them - the Comanches drove them from their lands. That's why the Apache supplied guides to hunt down the Comanches. The German settlers in central Texas were the only group that the Comanches did not slaughter because the Germans kept the treaties they signed with the Comanches.
The Comanches literally raided central Texas look at what they did in Bastrop Texas also in Lee County texas around the giddings Texas area they massacred a German family
That is mostly true, but a lot of Apache didn’t fight nor meet the Comanche. Mostly the eastern bands like the Lipan, Jicarilla and Mescalero were taking on the full force of Comanche and even these eastern Apache bands weren’t united. So they took to measures and moved further south from central Texas/Kansas. Some Apache were close with the Comanche such as the Kiowa Apache in Oklahoma. They weren’t necessarily all clumped together to fully dislike the Comanche. However, both Comanche and Apache had disdain for the Spanish
This seems so weird to me, because I'm 62 years old, and when I was in school we were taught about how fierce the Comanches and Apaches etc were. In fact there were movies on TV all the time showing it. I guess nobody watches old black and white movies anymore? But there certainly are much more recent movies showing their warlike nature. We also were taught about the horrors of Communism, and again, it was included in countless movies. It seems so weird that a generation or two of people have grown up without this knowledge.
Yes. And wanting to bring it all back because of that lack of knowledge, simply by listening to the narrative they are told by 'superiors' that it would be good for them and this nation. God have mercy! How to get people to ignore history? Don't teach it in school anymore! Or teach an alternative.
Indians were forever at war with one another long before whites, spanish or french ever came ashore. The iroguois nation controlled the entire eastern seaboard, from florida to nova scotia. Their empire was bigger than Rome's. They didn't accomplish that with hugs and holding hands. The DoEduc was used to indoctrinate and brainwash new generations and look how well it worked, a generation so stupid it can't figure out with bathroom to use. Now that Trump is back in the driver's seat real history will be taught again. Look up his plans for the schools during the year leading up to the 250th.
Those old movies are just as flawed. That's not "truth", that's just somebody's version of whatever story they're telling. Usually to the detriment of the native Americans. As for Communism--look at today's Democracy. Horror everywhere.
My brother in law is a Shoshone from the wind river Indian reservation in Wyoming. I lived on this reservation for years and learned a lot about their culture. Some of older generation could only speak their native Language. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Sacajawea is buried outside of Fort Washakie. They still have their pow wows and paint their faces and do their rituals. At Crow hearts Butte just a little ways outside of town Chief Washakie fought the Crow Chief removing his heart. Cheif Washakie is buried in town.
Maruawe, Comanche and Shoshone have a reunion every year the Comanche, Shoshone reunion we gather to celebrate our shared heritage and language, takes place at our Comanche Nation complex in Lawton, Oklahoma.
Wow, I think everyone knows that the Indians tortured but had no idea how gruesome it really was. I knew the Apache were very formidable and that Comanche were very tough also but wasn't aware of how tough the Iroquois were. Great Information! Thanks! Love this kind of history!

@Author: There was never anything or anyone capable of standing up to a Spaniard. The Comanches, like other tribes, learned from the Spanish everything they knew about horses. Although the Spanish suffered ambushes in different unarmed religious missions. Each of the grievances was immediately punished even at a disadvantage. One of the most famous battles was the defeat of the Greenhorn Comanche. All the tribes that came into contact with the Spanish were submitted to authority, Christianized, learned Spanish and renounced violence towards the Spanish as the great-grandson of the Apache Gerónimo can attest today, who spoke Spanish and had to face the abuses and lies of the USA. To the north of the now United States Spain established trade routes, numerous missions and traded with them, giving them horses and rifles to defend themselves against the Americans, they were also taught to fight with a shield and lance on horseback. All their traditions were respected and they only continued where Spain was present.

Many years ago, my beautiful mother gifted me with the book "Return of The Bird Tribes" read it. I lost it when I moved but it always remained in my memory. I have no native American affiliation, but mom knew I loved Native Americans. She also purchased the video "Dances With Wolves" for me. My heart and soul has always been with the Native Americans. When I traveled out west in around the mid 2000's I saw the squalor that the native americans were living in in Arizona. It was absolutely disgusting and deplorable.....I thought, THIS IS AMERICA??? DISGUSTING. To this very day, they live in total poverty. They have never been given the opportunity to rise up. I just don't understand this life of ours. The natives are too complacent, this is what led to their fall. That's why I loved the book Return of the Bird Tribes. The book stated that if all the tribes had banded together instead of warring against each other, the white man would never have defeated them....simple but the tribes made it way too complex....see the result.
When it comes to torture and brutality, no native American tribe comes close to the Catholic missionary tribe. They enslaved the natives, used them like tools in a toolbox, whipped, and tortured in imaginable ways not known to the Apache. And when it came to murdering native American, they didn't discriminate. Yes, they also rape women and children. They did all these atrocious acts in the name of Jesus Christ. Now that's a bad ass tribe!
Native Patagonians helped settlers from Wales arriving in 1865 to Chubut, Patagonia Argentina, the Welshmen offered bread, skills and life for these newcomers was peaceful, with no disputes and friendly. Great video for new views and learning. I love native fashion and culture needs no weapons and makes a much happier life no matter where. Greetings from Argentina, a nation with 60 % native blood mixed up all in peace.
I'm Creek Indian. They were fearless. They were feared by all. That is where the old saying, "I'll see you again if the Creek don't rise." They were not talking about water! They were talking about if the Creek Indians didn't rise up to fight. The Creeks were afraid of no one but feared by everyone...
What I do not understand is Why the Creeks or Specifically the White Sticks betray the red sticks and The Seminal Tribe during Andrew Jackson’s Indian removal Act. Sorry if Betray is to harsh a word but my source is from A book about Osceola. Anyway , Combined you might have held out.
Most beautiful people… most feared warriors sing your songs kept your traditions and Keep your languages alive all you suggestions and thank you for this program. I look forward to hearing from me my husband’s people walk the trail of Tears

Read Geronimo by Geronimo. It's a wonderful autobiography. He describes the origin of the Apache and it reads like something Tolkien would write. It's pretty amazing and will completely change your perspective. Also, the Apache largely fought the Mexicans, not so much the Americans.

I read that a Native American group gave some sort of award to Robert Redford for the movie "Jeremiah Johnson " due to it's accurate portrayal of their ancestors. Maybe some of you know the details.
There's a movie called windwalker! It's done in like the year 900 before anybody from Europe showed up. It has to do with one tribe kidnapping a guy's bride and him going after them to get her back!
No, it wasn’t their land. But it was theirs to take and they did. The natives didn’t have a right to it anymore so than anyone else who can put fight them for it. My great grandfather was Chiricahua Apache, but that doesn’t give me a right to anything. If the Europeans didn’t take this land then someone else would have. And if not the tribes/nations would have started trading with the rest of the world and used their weapons to conquer the other nations and make them into fewer larger empire nations. That’s what the natives did before the Europeans ever arrived so the land was going to be settled by some group or another at some point.
In the Eastern Indian land between the time the Europeans invaded and 1670 eighty percent of the Indians perished due to disease . not including a massacre in Mystic that ended up making the most powerful tribe in the area extinct.Indians numbers were shrinking fast and the Invaders kept coming. It was inevitable. The thing I can't forgive is they not only wanted the land , they wanted Indians gone. No matter what the conses ions they made it was never enough.
@@ME-yo4op the Indians were on the land first. Armies came and drove them off of the land. They even destroyed all the buffalo so the Indians would have to leave or starve
Native American Land doesn't hold that the crown had anything. John Marshall [lawyer] who was an obedient servant [to the crown, not in relation to the Crown] created title in the crown...In other words they, the crown, had the underlying claim. Normally the underlying claim would be aboriginal rights...Didn't Native Americans really have the first title? No! Under Native American Law the Indians were more in touch with reality because they understood the land was here before we were and it will be here long after we’re gone. How can you own something like that ua-cam.com/video/xmlP4n_4Zb4/v-deo.html
We drove the Iroquois and the Sioux from the upper peninsula of Northern Michigan on Lake Superior. Born, raised and bred Ojibwe nation until I'm dead Anishinaabekwe
Just a couple points - While you did mention the Iroquois Confederacy, it would have been worthwhile to mention that it was pretty well documented that the Mohawk practised ritual Cannibalism unlike the other Tribes in the Confederation ,making them especially feared.Also , although never as large and powerful as the Comanche or Apache , the Pawnee had one of the absolute worst reputations for their absolute delight in the most gruesome of torture methods and conducted raids on settlers as well as other tribes for no motivation other than to obtain victims.
I am afraid your information is lacking. The 5 civilized tribes were much more powerful than western tribes. Indians in the east killed hundreds while in the west it was in tens. A confederation of 3 largest tribes approx. 10k were only able to kill 288 their largest conquest 😢
No more than catholics are cannibals eating the body of Jesus and drinking his blood. A fearsome enemy who was respected might be ritually eaten but they didn't "eat people" as part of their diet. Mohawk means people of the flint, other people gave names to the Haudenosaunee people mostly as insults so man eater as rattlesnake people is propaganda. The prime reason the Haudenosaunee were tough was because the nations were united by a single system of government, (the US borrowed heavily from the Haudenosaunee constitution). Where one nation might bring a few hundred, the Haudenosaunee might bring thousands. It was not just other first nation "tribes" that were defeated, The French were defeated as well. Small wonder both the British and the colonies asked for alliances in their war. The Haudenosaunee stayed neutral officially but allowed individuals to make their own choices. After the war the confederacy was brutally attacked, surprise surprise. Villages, towns, fields and orchards all burned and people left with no food in the middle of the worst winter in memory. Captured prisoners were often used to replace slain warriors. Running the gauntlet is how prisoners either became part of the village or were slain. They were not slaves,but took over the slain warrior's place completely. Its amazing that the brutal attacks on the first nations peoples are ignored here. I guess its considered woke to look in to your own history before dumping on others.
@@tonykirby9574 The very fact that George Washington-in the middle of the American Revolution-felt the need to dispatch 4,000 troops to invade the Mohawk Valley to stop their depredations, bears this out. He actually concentrated as many troops against the Iroquois as against the British at the time. The Six Nations literally threatened to split the colonies in half cutting off New England. Washington could not permit that.

Odawa were part of the three fire council along with the Ojibwe and Pottowatomie.The Bay Mills band on Lake Superior in present day Whitefish Bay in Brimley MI slaughtered a war party of over 1000 Iroquois warriors who were caught a mile away in a early morning raid by my tribe. We watched them dancing a war dance because they were there to attack our village. There war dances consisted of cutting the heart of an enemy warrior out and eating it raw while drinking their blood. This happened a half a mile from my house. It's known today as Iroquois point and there are bodies still buried three feet under the sand and you would never know you're walking on them. The Iroquois never came back to our lands
You're so right, most people don't understand before colonization several of the most dominant tribe that we know of today wasn't pre-colonization. The Yuchi tribe today is roughly 2000 people, according to Hernando de Soto who described the Yuchi as the most powerful and fierce tribe that he encountered in 1541. However after colonization the tribe called ᎠᏂᎫᏔᏂ Ani-kutani split and the British backed faction which became known as the Cherokee's intended on destroy the Yuchi, who call themselves ᏦᏯᎭ Tsoyaha Children of the Sun. Tsoyaha
@@davidwarren7105 In the 16th century Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto described them as the Uchi they lived in autonomous communities in eastern Tennessee. The Yuchi tribe became associated with Creek speaking towns in Georgia and Alabama around the 1700’s. They were involved in the English driven Indian slave trade, but lost out to larger tribes in mid 1700’s. The Yuchi like other tribes were forced to move to Indian territory along with the Creek tribe here in Oklahoma. The Yuchi tribe is not a federally recognized tribe and are largely unknown among non Indian neighbors
I can only speak as a Numunuu (Comanche) the history I was told by my elders. Our first encounter with horses were a Souther band ( who spent as much time in Mexico as they did in what is now the U.S.) who observed unseen Spanish colonizers using horses to dominate the local Natives. We recognized right away that if we had these animals we could use them to gain similar advantage over other Nations. A very intelligent and respected woman realized that although only the Spanish rode horses they were using enslaved Natives to care for them and she came up with a plan. A group of young men were sent to be captured by the Spanish and learn all they could about horses, who were then to steal all the horses they could and rendezvous their band at an agreed on location. This was exactly what they did bringing a certain number of enslaved by the Spanish with them the band then set about learning to use the horses in a concerted effort and sharing that knowledge ( and horses) with other bands. We learned horsemanship because we made a focused and systematic effort to do so.
@@Tahsuda540 Although there’s some similarities, I feel like you’re maybe misremembering some pretty important details, unfortunately. The *Yuchi were in an entirely different geographical region than the Comanche.
@@bigwheel9132 I know the Comanche and Yuchi were in two different geographical locations, I’m a Comanche tribal citizen. Still Hernado de Soto who landed in Florida expilored. Tennessee. Georgia, Florida, Mississippi. And I’m really not sure where you get I was saying anything about the Comanche and Yuchi as a whole?
The insight provided on the indigenous tribes was enlightening. It’s unfortunate that the American history books don’t have as much substantive history, notwithstanding the unpleasant occurrences, explained so that students will have a firm and clear grasp relative to what actually transpired in America prior to it becoming a republic. As an academic. I appreciate the discussion and extend a heartfelt thanks in terms of your discussion vis-a-vis video. DRJDC

the Chicasaw were badass. they defeated the spanish in mississippi and drove them across the river into Arkansas. they were so good at fighting that the British called them the spartans of the south mississippi valley and their villages were fortified and strategically placed where other villages could back each other up in a fight. they were always in a state of war

I was always intrigued by the Native American culture. It is such an interesting culture. I went to college up north in New York and there were many Mohawk and Iroquois and Seneca Indians. Now I am in Arizona and we have Pueblo, Hopi, Zuni, Navajo.

Cheyenne fought Comanche all the time but is a smaller tribe still were able to hold off bigger tribes who even asked cheyenne to join their campaigns including Comanche. Look up battle of wolf creek where Cheyenne & Arapaho defeated a combined force of Comanche, Apache & Kiowa. It was even federally outlawed to write about Cheyenne in any newspapers and people were prosecuted for doing so. The Comanche still remember fighting Cheyenne I know I'm full blood cheyenne and have attended Comanche dances. The Comanches even paid Cheyenne & Arapaho in horses to track down Apache. As a Native American I agree with the Iroquois being a force to be feared back then because of sheer size but also Blackfeet, Mohawks, Cree, Creeks, Choctaw, Pawnee, Sioux, Sac & Fox, Shawnee, Osage, Ojibwa so many others. They didn't absolutely fear each other lol usually tribes only got dangerous as they grew. Cheyenne were expected to take out 10 enemies but were a small band of people who were once part of the Cree and originally came from upper Quebec Canada. We travelled south due to seeds for crops being stolen but also to tell other tribes of people we called Earth Dwellers (European) that were seen in a vision and saying they need to Unite but everyone called us dreamers saying we made it up like day dreaming saying who could defeat the Iroquois confederation. No one listened but a few the sioux caught wind of what we were saying then took that for themselves saying they had a vision as they've always done. Sun dance is a Cheyenne ceremony no one elses as an example of other things copied off of Cheyenne. Cheyenne isnt even what our name is, that's also Sioux meaning people of a wierd speech just because they couldn't understand but its Algonquin part Cree dialect. But as usual were telling whites because we didnt ever speak to whites ever nor could troops keep Cheyennes alive as they'd either kill themselves or fight til the death so no troops knew anything about Cheyenne , Cheyenne barely spoke to other tribes only met with leaders but Sioux will tell what whites like to hear. If it was the other way around Cheyennes wouldn't tell white troops nothing about the Sioux that's the difference between the two.
Ok first off, (Comanche here) our people didn't pay you to track Apaches. We did that ourselves. We drove them from their former territory. Second off, you didn't win the battle of wolf creek. Nobody did. You caught us off guard and killed berry pickers along the creek beds near the main village. Then warriors came to fight your people. Many on both sides died. However, you failed to overwhelm the village and eventually abandoned the fight. I under no circumstance claim the fight as a Comanche victory especially since it was mostly the Kiowas being attacked, but it certainly wasn't a clear victory for the Cheyenne either. It was that battle when the Comanche, Plains Apache, Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Arapaho entered into a big alliance with one another

They practiced inhuman brutality. Not the benign lovers of nature and victims of Western culture that is often portrayed. I'm not criticizing their brutality. Survival of the fittest is a fair game. Just remember that that's the game that was played. The introduction of the horse into Native American cultures created massive change. The horse was an invasive species.
So many well meaning people are divorced from a true understanding of the worlds cruel reality for their lacking basic commonsense, so none of it can be thot thru to grasp that the world was/IS a terrifying place if certain basics are lost; - to realize further that without the Founding of America this world would be an insidiously Dark demonic opposing world systems of *right by might run by the most wickedly ruthless to be an unthinkably forboding merciless existence lucky to barely survive...! This's IF civilization survived the atomic age begun 80yrs ago-> now morphed into scattering remnant's reverting into a tribal Road Warrior reality- were people who cannot cope would be quickly eliminated as dog eat dog will once again reign...! It was the truth of the Gospels that changed the world and still is, just look into and review all the other systems now in play worldwide = only under good American leadership can WW-III be averted...!
@@andrewrainey6598They had gone extinct for about 10,000 years, so it’s fair to say the Spaniards (re)introduced them and that makes them technically an invasive species, given the time lapse.
My ancestors were of Cherokee and Comanche descent and I have been visited by many different Owls in tough times in my life on at least 4 occasions and they would get extremely close and horses that most people couldn’t get near would come right to me ! I couldn’t explain it. Then most recently I was visited by 2 crow while sitting in a friends yard - not days before I found out I was going to have a son !!! I believe in the spiritual connection because of this - and my mother knew that I was to have a son before I told her !
@@spoonunit1Truth. The eastern tribes would not have done well if stacked up to the plains tribes. I suspect they’d have puked if they’d seen some of the things the Comanche did to captives. This clip is way nicer than the Comanche actually were.
Even today, it’s hard to find an Apache who doesn’t have an ingrained loathing for the Comanche. What we know of as the Apache culture is mostly the culture of the remnants of the Apache who survived the depredations of theComanche. From a static, agricultural people, the Apache were turned into a nomadic predatory people.
@@rydelldanford65 Hello rydelldanford, I meant “nomadic” in the sense of no longer being a “static” agricultural culture practising farming usually along the rivers and creeks. Converting to a “Hunter Gatherer” culture and tending to have more transient “camps” usually located in defensible locations and moved when game and seasonal food dictated. That the Apache lived in areas over which they hunted isn’t debated. I don’t believe the Apache had a sense of individual ownership of either particular pieces of land or of areas or territory. Obviously, the Apache would have regarded land as being “ancestral” maybe they even regarded land as being inhabited by deceased spirits of their clans, I don’t know on that aspect. The Christian idea of an “After life” and “Heaven and/or Hell” is fairly unique.
@@rydelldanford65 Hello rydelldanford, Another thing, I believe the linguistic origins of the Apache language are strong indicators of a nomadic past, after all, it’s Athabaskan based, originating from Canada and the North East!

One hundred percent of the Comanche nation were pacified and assimilated by the Spanish crown at the end of the 18th century. They assumed vassalage to the king of Spain and accepted the Catholic religion and its missions. The crown in turn gave them land titles and guaranteed their autonomy within those large territories (in western Texas, Oklahoma and eastern New Mexico). The independence of the American territories in the 19th century and the arrival of new settlers from the east caused everything that happened after.
@@sandyMlud Our history? The story is one, the true one. Afterwards there are other interests and other interpretations (always interested). But the historical facts are what they are and those cannot be changed.
After hundreds of years of occupation, I know of no first peoples who are "pacified and assimilated" As the people of Europe living under the boot of the Nazi regime may have had to tip their hats to survive in the occupation. Most of their hearts remained free and hoped for deliverance.
@josesanchez-os7zr what is assimilated mean to you? Also you should read COMANCHE EMPIRE by Pekka Hamalainen. He had access to all the original Spanish and Vatican archives. Without going into too much detail the Spanish were so scared of the Comanche they paid them a tithe. Just so they wouldn't pillage their village. But it wasn't that simple. So by the words of the Spanish people, multiple sources, they packed up and moved further south I to Mexico. So please educate yourself of what is fact. Read his book and then read many more that verify this. Ask yourself if we assimilated why do I speak my native language and sing and dance and hold our traditional ceremonies to this day? Yes, I also live in the modern world and use a cellphone. That doesn't make me assimilated. I invite you to come down for a dance or the Comanche Nation Fair to introduce you to my people and you can explain how the Spanish pacified us.
I’m a 78 year old 1/4 Anishinaabe American. I’m proud of all my ancestors and enjoy hearing and studying our history. But it’s annoying when people inject total BS into the argument. o we were not peaceful and nature loving. We were as human as any other people anywhere in the world. we fought, conquered others, tortured our enemies and stole what we could just like people everywhere at that time.
DEAR FRIEND,THE WHITE MAN IN AMERICA CONSTANTLY HAS DEMONIZED OUR TRIBES JUST AS THEY DEMONIZED ALL GERMANS AFTER BOTH WORLD WARS ! IF YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT INDIAN PEOPLE DONT ASK A WHITEMAN !
The Comanche had to sue for peace in 1840 with the Southern Cheyenne's on whose lands they invaded from the Northern Plains, the peace was honoured by the Northern Cheyenne bands.
@@RedHawk-z8z No, they could not fight the Mexicans and Texas at the same time, the Southern Cheyenne's and Arapaho's were raiding Comanche villages at this time for horses and scalps, so in 1840 the Comanche's sent peace offerings to the Cheyenne's, which was accepted, now the Comanche's could fight in Mexico and Texas without fear of their villages being raided by the Cheyenne's, the Cheyenne in turn were able to concentrate on the Pawnee's, who they hated more.
@@georgedoherty2221 yes very true but you can also say that the Cheyenne suffered brutality at the hands of the Comanche and Kiowa. Began wiping out war parties. Pretty sure it wasn't one sided. Both sides wanted peace at that point
I'm 52% Apache and 48% Spaniard according to Ancestral tests. Thanks for the video story and all your comments. I'm enjoying about 90 % of the responses. The negative trash talkers? I guess I'll simply take those comments as entertainment. We all come from different backgrounds but I'm assuming we're mostly Americans commenting here. UA-cam is great! It's our history. American History. Sure, hindsight is 20/20 but just talking about this pretty darn cool! My mother was born in Mexico but she was definitely indigenous in appearance like me. Great mother! Dad was Mexican American ( Texan ) but more Spanish looking. He could grow a full beard. I cannot. Only a large mustache 😉😂 Dad helped build The SR71 at Lockheed when I was very young. I was born in Manhattan Beach. Pretty Damn Interesting Where We End Up Huh? Semper Fi! Enjoy this wonderful gift on life and be good to people. God Bless! 😇
@@FATHERKNOSEBEST Your DNA says 52% Apache? Don’t think so a DNA test can’t tell you which tribe you’re. That is why tribes don’t except DNS test to be a tribal citizen. This isn’t negative trash talk it’s facts.
Semper fi!! That's so cool about your dad and the Blackbird. It's hard to imagine a deadly hostel great plains. I grew up in West Texas, and we were always told about the prowess of the Comanche.
"Indigenous Continent" is a great read on this topic.That myth infantilizes the histories of native people. Reframing the multi-century conflict to colonize the Americas by putting the strength of the tribes first, changed how I conceptualize this history.
White men were the scourge. Filthy and diseased. White war wasn't the problem, white disease was. Every group has their triumphs and tragedies. Many humans have mixed ethnic backgrounds, we are all basically one people anyways.
@@cherrelanier7304 Depends on the context. Remember in the 19th century "savage" was often used in the same way "native" is used today. Victorian writers like Darwin used the word often but not always disparagingly. It was sometimes used in the sense of "primitive". Language always changes. We need to keep historical context in mind when discussing these events.
Don’t ever romanticize these Native American peoples. They were warlike and unspeakably cruel. We often think of them as possessing a nobility superior to their white conquerors. There were good and evil on both sides but I will always maintain the truly noble were those who did not engage in barbarism.
We were not conquered, your system of government was copied from us. and if you truly believe the noble did not engage in barbarism you need to see what happened in those residential schools. Don't forget the larges genocide in earths known history took place right here in North America. Low estimates are 50 million
I have studied Native American tribes all my life. What is amazing is the variety of cultures among the tribes. Some tribes were peaceful farmers. Especially a lot of the tribes nobody talks about. Having said that I hate how the PC people deny that there were tribes like the Comanche too. They were so much like the ancient tribes in Europe like the Norse, Anglo Saxon, and Celtic tribes. Very fierce and they have my respect.

@twostrikenumpkahapa8857 True. IMHO, Crazy Horse was one of the greatest leaders of all time, regardless of race. The man, by all accounts, was absolutely fearless and a brilliant tactician.
The fighting was mostly Cheyenne with Arapaho small contingent of blackfeet at the litte big horn not just lakota..you guys always try to say your the only natives alive lol Sitting bull was busy praying with your group while Cheyenne headed to the oncoming troops...dont forget to tell them how Sioux later killed sitting bull

Google and read first hand accounts of captives. This clip makes the Comanche sound much nicer than they actually were. That hand thing for instance, imagine having your nose burned again and again for days. Imagine seeing your small child or sibling bludgeoned simply because it was crying from hunger.

I’m half Tarahumara/ Raramuri of Chihuahua Mexico area. Peaceful hunters and gatherers until the Spanish came to enslave them and they went into the canyons to hide. I’ve always been interested in learning more about all indigenous Tribes. America history totally ignores that The Americans/ European settlers came with guns and canons to steal the natives lands and kill all Indians that got in their way fighting them with spears and arrows until they were able to obtain guns and ammo to fight back. Before the Spanish came with horses, they traveled by foot.
My mothers grandmother was a full blooded Karankawa Indian!!! From family tree research they were a pretty fierce some tribe that lived on the Texas coast!!!
Whoever wrote this hasn't spent any time around the Blackfeet or the Cheyenne. The Comanche are by no means not fearsome, but on a good day they couldn't warm up either tribe. If you think the Comanch were horsemen you have seen very little. Cheyenne were beyond believable, as were the Pagan, (their real name) , and they were and in many cases still are warriors par excellente. The Pawnee, Comanch, Apache, Sho-Bans, true Arrapiho all stayed well south of their hunting grounds, and well away from their massive horse herds mostly because they couldn't compete on the battle field. The southern tribes were "domesticated" within a generation or two , but those tribes up by the Canadian border still aren't what you'd call totally absorbed

@wanttopreach spoken like someone who got their entire "Indian" education out of a public school text book, not from their elders. If in fact you are a descendant at all.
I was raised near the White Mountain Apache tribe and saw that their reservation was on some of the best land in Arizona. I studied in the library about Arizona tribes of native Americans and knew that 5 Apache tribes came down from Canada, among them the Chiricahua, San Carlos, White Mountain and the Navajo Apache's. If you ask a Navajo today, they will deny it, but they were one of the Apache tribes. I just googled, why do the Navajos deny being one of the Apache tribes and it talked about them being of the Athabascan language group with the Apache's but didn't outright name them as one of the tribes as other sources I have read.
Many also say they're pure Ndee. Right! People are so full of themselves. No pure Indians exist today. At some point in time someone is bound to marry outside their group. As for Apaches, it's the way it's done. Go on a raid, see a beautiful woman, take her away to be a wife. Apache have welcomed many people into their ranks. The key to this is in the Mescalero story of creation. All humans came from the Creator. Only one race exists, human. Be welcoming to others.
I've read that Apache meant enemy and that the Navajos were called Navajo Apache, or enemies with fields due to their cultural adaptation when moving to the south-west.
The language is very similar, I was in San Carlos for a rodeo. I ended up talking with an Apache lady, she spoke in Apache & I answered in Navajo. We understood each other.

Years ago, I saw a western movie titled “Apache Uprising”. And during a campfire scene, the star of that movie explained a story that occurred a hundred years before. The story went like this: The Great Sioux Nation went south to make war with the Apache. When the battles were over, you could count the dead of the Souix warriors that were left behind by counting their skeletons.

Both Apache and Comanche means "Enemy. The gauntlet the Iroquois would put you wasn't torture, who is to see if your wanted to be one of them. If you made it to the other side in touch the feet of the chief you was welcomed as a warrior of the tribe. This gauntlet still survive and evolved today as gang initiation or (being blooded). You forgot to Carib tribes which lived across Southern Florida, Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti. Being known as cannibals not only what they torture prisoners to death, they would eat them. The Caribbean is named after them. They would terrorized the Taino of Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. And sometimes each other. Columbus Crew that he left behind in Haiti is believed to have been eaten by the Caribs.
Each tribe was not the same. Each had their own beautiful language, songs, traditions, and beliefs. Indigenous history is a beautiful thing, and should be taught correctly, and honestly!
They tortured and murdered in the most sickening way, when I hear of Your "beautiful" tribes i recall the factual stories of children being roasted alive. Ya sick bastard !
I learned long ago from a book which means not native....that apache women were the ones that could keep captives under torture alive longer than any. Well no idea if that or this is true. Also learned l9ng ago that white history had little truth in it about any of the native Americans. OH well....how shocking. Before any yell... my damn birth certificate has a ...w.....

There is so much beauty and honor and reverance in Native life - in all mankind - and yet so much violence and capacity to hurt others. Joy and heartache.
And what do you think will happen if some other country comes to destroy America???? Darlin.... they are not going to ask them to pray.
Even the Apache were afraid of the Comanches and hated them - the Comanches drove them from their lands. That's why the Apache supplied guides to hunt down the Comanches. The German settlers in central Texas were the only group that the Comanches did not slaughter because the Germans kept the treaties they signed with the Comanches.
The Comanches literally raided central Texas look at what they did in Bastrop Texas also in Lee County texas around the giddings Texas area they massacred a German family
That is mostly true, but a lot of Apache didn’t fight nor meet the Comanche. Mostly the eastern bands like the Lipan, Jicarilla and Mescalero were taking on the full force of Comanche and even these eastern Apache bands weren’t united. So they took to measures and moved further south from central Texas/Kansas. Some Apache were close with the Comanche such as the Kiowa Apache in Oklahoma. They weren’t necessarily all clumped together to fully dislike the Comanche. However, both Comanche and Apache had disdain for the Spanish

This seems so weird to me, because I'm 62 years old, and when I was in school we were taught about how fierce the Comanches and Apaches etc were. In fact there were movies on TV all the time showing it. I guess nobody watches old black and white movies anymore? But there certainly are much more recent movies showing their warlike nature. We also were taught about the horrors of Communism, and again, it was included in countless movies. It seems so weird that a generation or two of people have grown up without this knowledge.
Yes. And wanting to bring it all back because of that lack of knowledge, simply by listening to the narrative they are told by 'superiors' that it would be good for them and this nation. God have mercy! How to get people to ignore history? Don't teach it in school anymore! Or teach an alternative.
Truth is hidden by those who don't want others to find it.
Indians were forever at war with one another long before whites, spanish or french ever came ashore. The iroguois nation controlled the entire eastern seaboard, from florida to nova scotia. Their empire was bigger than Rome's. They didn't accomplish that with hugs and holding hands. The DoEduc was used to indoctrinate and brainwash new generations and look how well it worked, a generation so stupid it can't figure out with bathroom to use. Now that Trump is back in the driver's seat real history will be taught again. Look up his plans for the schools during the year leading up to the 250th.
Those old movies are just as flawed. That's not "truth", that's just somebody's version of whatever story they're telling. Usually to the detriment of the native Americans. As for Communism--look at today's Democracy. Horror everywhere.

Some of older generation could only speak their native Language. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Sacajawea is buried outside of Fort Washakie. They still have their pow wows and paint their faces and do their rituals. At Crow hearts Butte just a little ways outside of town Chief Washakie fought the Crow Chief removing his heart.

Wow, I think everyone knows that the Indians tortured but had no idea how gruesome it really was. I knew the Apache were very formidable and that Comanche were very tough also but wasn't aware of how tough the Iroquois were. Great Information! Thanks! Love this kind of history!

@Author: There was never anything or anyone capable of standing up to a Spaniard. The Comanches, like other tribes, learned from the Spanish everything they knew about horses. Although the Spanish suffered ambushes in different unarmed religious missions. Each of the grievances was immediately punished even at a disadvantage. One of the most famous battles was the defeat of the Greenhorn Comanche. All the tribes that came into contact with the Spanish were submitted to authority, Christianized, learned Spanish and renounced violence towards the Spanish as the great-grandson of the Apache Gerónimo can attest today, who spoke Spanish and had to face the abuses and lies of the USA.
To the north of the now United States Spain established trade routes, numerous missions and traded with them, giving them horses and rifles to defend themselves against the Americans, they were also taught to fight with a shield and lance on horseback.
All their traditions were respected and they only continued where Spain was present.

Many years ago, my beautiful mother gifted me with the book "Return of The Bird Tribes" read it. I lost it when I moved but it always remained in my memory. I have no native American affiliation, but mom knew I loved Native Americans. She also purchased the video "Dances With Wolves" for me. My heart and soul has always been with the Native Americans. When I traveled out west in around the mid 2000's I saw the squalor that the native americans were living in in Arizona. It was absolutely disgusting and deplorable.....I thought, THIS IS AMERICA??? DISGUSTING. To this very day, they live in total poverty. They have never been given the opportunity to rise up. I just don't understand this life of ours. The natives are too complacent, this is what led to their fall. That's why I loved the book Return of the Bird Tribes. The book stated that if all the tribes had banded together instead of warring against each other, the white man would never have defeated them....simple but the tribes made it way too complex....see the result.
This is as enlightening as finding out that African tribes sold each other out as slaves. I guess human brutality knows no loyalty!
Hi alice.. you sure have an attractive expression.. 🙂.. thank you for that..keep that smile warm and strong love
Nope people are the same regardless of skin color
Yeah and here in the south, freed slaves with property sometimes owned slaves themselves.
When it comes to torture and brutality, no native American tribe comes close to the Catholic missionary tribe. They enslaved the natives, used them like tools in a toolbox, whipped, and tortured in imaginable ways not known to the Apache. And when it came to murdering native American, they didn't discriminate. Yes, they also rape women and children. They did all these atrocious acts in the name of Jesus Christ. Now that's a bad ass tribe!
So did European tribes...what is your point?
Native Patagonians helped settlers from Wales arriving in 1865 to Chubut, Patagonia Argentina, the Welshmen offered bread, skills and life for these newcomers was peaceful, with no disputes and friendly.
Great video for new views and learning. I love native fashion and culture needs no weapons and makes a much happier life no matter where.

I'm Creek Indian. They were fearless. They were feared by all. That is where the old saying, "I'll see you again if the Creek don't rise." They were not talking about water!

Read Geronimo by Geronimo. It's a wonderful autobiography. He describes the origin of the Apache and it reads like something Tolkien would write. It's pretty amazing and will completely change your perspective. Also, the Apache largely fought the Mexicans, not so much the Americans.

It would be awesome if there was an epic movie that did Indian history and culture justice!
I read that a Native American group gave some sort of award to Robert Redford for the movie "Jeremiah Johnson " due to it's accurate portrayal of their ancestors.
Maybe some of you know the details.
Can't Native American writers and actors do so?
There's a movie called windwalker! It's done in like the year 900 before anybody from Europe showed up. It has to do with one tribe kidnapping a guy's bride and him going after them to get her back!

Good video i appreciated it. Thanks.
No, it wasn’t their land. But it was theirs to take and they did. The natives didn’t have a right to it anymore so than anyone else who can put fight them for it.
My great grandfather was Chiricahua Apache, but that doesn’t give me a right to anything. If the Europeans didn’t take this land then someone else would have. And if not the tribes/nations would have started trading with the rest of the world and used their weapons to conquer the other nations and make them into fewer larger empire nations. That’s what the natives did before the Europeans ever arrived so the land was going to be settled by some group or another at some point.
In the Eastern Indian land between the time the Europeans invaded and 1670 eighty percent of the Indians perished due to disease . not including a massacre in Mystic that ended up making the most powerful tribe in the area extinct.Indians numbers were shrinking fast and the Invaders kept coming. It was inevitable. The thing I can't forgive is they not only wanted the land , they wanted Indians gone. No matter what the conses ions they made it was never enough.
@@ME-yo4op the Indians were on the land first. Armies came and drove them off of the land. They even destroyed all the buffalo so the Indians would have to leave or starve

Native American Land doesn't hold that the crown had anything. John Marshall [lawyer] who was an obedient servant [to the crown, not in relation to the Crown] created title in the crown...In other words they, the crown, had the underlying claim. Normally the underlying claim would be aboriginal rights...Didn't Native Americans really have the first title? No! Under Native American Law the Indians were more in touch with reality because they understood the land was here before we were and it will be here long after we’re gone.

Just a couple points - While you did mention the Iroquois Confederacy, it would have been worthwhile to mention that it was pretty well documented that the Mohawk practised ritual Cannibalism unlike the other Tribes in the Confederation ,making them especially feared.Also , although never as large and powerful as the Comanche or Apache , the Pawnee had one of the absolute worst reputations for their absolute delight in the most gruesome of torture methods and conducted raids on settlers as well as other tribes for no motivation other than to obtain victims.
I am afraid your information is lacking. The 5 civilized tribes were much more powerful than western tribes. Indians in the east killed hundreds while in the west it was in tens. A confederation of 3 largest tribes approx. 10k were only able to kill 288 their largest conquest 😢
Interesting that the very word "Mohawk" comes from a Narragansett word meaning "man eaters." Now I know why.
No more than catholics are cannibals eating the body of Jesus and drinking his blood. A fearsome enemy who was respected might be ritually eaten but they didn't "eat people" as part of their diet. Mohawk means people of the flint, other people gave names to the Haudenosaunee people mostly as insults so man eater as rattlesnake people is propaganda. The prime reason the Haudenosaunee were tough was because the nations were united by a single system of government, (the US borrowed heavily from the Haudenosaunee constitution). Where one nation might bring a few hundred, the Haudenosaunee might bring thousands. It was not just other first nation "tribes" that were defeated, The French were defeated as well. Small wonder both the British and the colonies asked for alliances in their war. The Haudenosaunee stayed neutral officially but allowed individuals to make their own choices. After the war the confederacy was brutally attacked, surprise surprise. Villages, towns, fields and orchards all burned and people left with no food in the middle of the worst winter in memory.
Captured prisoners were often used to replace slain warriors. Running the gauntlet is how prisoners either became part of the village or were slain. They were not slaves,but took over the slain warrior's place completely. Its amazing that the brutal attacks on the first nations peoples are ignored here. I guess its considered woke to look in to your own history before dumping on others.
@@JohnSmith-ct5jd propaganda, Mohawk means people of the flint
@@tonykirby9574 The very fact that George Washington-in the middle of the American Revolution-felt the need to dispatch 4,000 troops to invade the Mohawk Valley to stop their depredations, bears this out. He actually concentrated as many troops against the Iroquois as against the British at the time. The Six Nations literally threatened to split the colonies in half cutting off New England. Washington could not permit that.

Odawa were part of the three fire council along with the Ojibwe and Pottowatomie.The Bay Mills band on Lake Superior in present day Whitefish Bay in Brimley MI slaughtered a war party of over 1000 Iroquois warriors who were caught a mile away in a early morning raid by my tribe. We watched them dancing a war dance because they were there to attack our village. There war dances consisted of cutting the heart of an enemy warrior out and eating it raw while drinking their blood. This happened a half a mile from my house. It's known today as Iroquois point and there are bodies still buried three feet under the sand and you would never know you're walking on them. The Iroquois never came back to our lands

Wish you’d including WHY the Comanche were so ruthless and brutal. They got bullied for generations until they found horses and then went on a tear.
You're so right, most people don't understand before colonization several of the most dominant tribe that we know of today wasn't pre-colonization.
The Yuchi tribe today is roughly 2000 people, according to Hernando de Soto who described the Yuchi as the most powerful and fierce tribe that he encountered in 1541.
However after colonization the tribe called ᎠᏂᎫᏔᏂ Ani-kutani split and the British backed faction which became known as the Cherokee's intended on destroy the Yuchi, who call themselves ᏦᏯᎭ Tsoyaha Children of the Sun.
Tsoyaha
@@davidwarren7105
In the 16th century Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto described them as the Uchi they lived in autonomous communities in eastern Tennessee.
The Yuchi tribe became associated with Creek speaking towns in Georgia and Alabama around the 1700’s. They were involved in the English driven Indian slave trade, but lost out to larger tribes in mid 1700’s. The Yuchi like other tribes were forced to move to Indian territory along with the Creek tribe here in Oklahoma. The Yuchi tribe is not a federally recognized tribe and are largely unknown among non Indian neighbors
I can only speak as a Numunuu (Comanche) the history I was told by my elders. Our first encounter with horses were a Souther band ( who spent as much time in Mexico as they did in what is now the U.S.) who observed unseen Spanish colonizers using horses to dominate the local Natives. We recognized right away that if we had these animals we could use them to gain similar advantage over other Nations. A very intelligent and respected woman realized that although only the Spanish rode horses they were using enslaved Natives to care for them and she came up with a plan. A group of young men were sent to be captured by the Spanish and learn all they could about horses, who were then to steal all the horses they could and rendezvous their band at an agreed on location. This was exactly what they did bringing a certain number of enslaved by the Spanish with them the band then set about learning to use the horses in a concerted effort and sharing that knowledge ( and horses) with other bands. We learned horsemanship because we made a focused and systematic effort to do so.

Territory at what point in time? Not only were boundaries fluid but sometimes made massive re-locations.
The insight provided on the indigenous tribes was enlightening.

Cheyenne fought Comanche all the time but is a smaller tribe still were able to hold off bigger tribes who even asked cheyenne to join their campaigns including Comanche. Look up battle of wolf creek where Cheyenne & Arapaho defeated a combined force of Comanche, Apache & Kiowa. It was even federally outlawed to write about Cheyenne in any newspapers and people were prosecuted for doing so. The Comanche still remember fighting Cheyenne I know I'm full blood cheyenne and have attended Comanche dances. The Comanches even paid Cheyenne & Arapaho in horses to track down Apache. As a Native American I agree with the Iroquois being a force to be feared back then because of sheer size but also Blackfeet, Mohawks, Cree, Creeks, Choctaw, Pawnee, Sioux, Sac & Fox, Shawnee, Osage, Ojibwa so many others. They didn't absolutely fear each other lol usually tribes only got dangerous as they grew. Cheyenne were expected to take out 10 enemies but were a small band of people who were once part of the Cree and originally came from upper Quebec Canada. We travelled south due to seeds for crops being stolen but also to tell other tribes of people we called Earth Dwellers (European) that were seen in a vision and saying they need to Unite but everyone called us dreamers saying we made it up like day dreaming saying who could defeat the Iroquois confederation. No one listened but a few the sioux caught wind of what we were saying then took that for themselves saying they had a vision as they've always done. Sun dance is a Cheyenne ceremony no one elses as an example of other things copied off of Cheyenne. Cheyenne isnt even what our name is, that's also Sioux meaning people of a wierd speech just because they couldn't understand but its Algonquin part Cree dialect. But as usual were telling whites because we didnt ever speak to whites ever nor could troops keep Cheyennes alive as they'd either kill themselves or fight til the death so no troops knew anything about Cheyenne , Cheyenne barely spoke to other tribes only met with leaders but Sioux will tell what whites like to hear. If it was the other way around Cheyennes wouldn't tell white troops nothing about the Sioux that's the difference between the two.
Ok first off, (Comanche here) our people didn't pay you to track Apaches. We did that ourselves. We drove them from their former territory. Second off, you didn't win the battle of wolf creek. Nobody did. You caught us off guard and killed berry pickers along the creek beds near the main village. Then warriors came to fight your people. Many on both sides died. However, you failed to overwhelm the village and eventually abandoned the fight. I under no circumstance claim the fight as a Comanche victory especially since it was mostly the Kiowas being attacked, but it certainly wasn't a clear victory for the Cheyenne either. It was that battle when the Comanche, Plains Apache, Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Arapaho entered into a big alliance with one another
From the book...Black Elk Speaks, the Lakota and Cheyenne were friends/allies.

They practiced inhuman brutality. Not the benign lovers of nature and victims of Western culture that is often portrayed. I'm not criticizing their brutality. Survival of the fittest is a fair game. Just remember that that's the game that was played. The introduction of the horse into Native American cultures created massive change. The horse was an invasive species.
So many well meaning people are divorced from a true understanding of the worlds cruel reality for their lacking basic commonsense, so none of it can be thot thru to grasp that the world was/IS a terrifying place if certain basics are lost;
- to realize further that without the Founding of America this world would be an insidiously Dark demonic opposing world systems of *right by might run by the most wickedly ruthless to be an unthinkably forboding merciless existence lucky to barely survive...!
This's IF civilization survived the atomic age begun 80yrs ago-> now morphed into scattering remnant's reverting into a tribal Road Warrior reality- were people who cannot cope would be quickly eliminated as dog eat dog will once again reign...!
It was the truth of the Gospels that changed the world and still is, just look into and review all the other systems now in play worldwide = only under good American leadership can WW-III be averted...!
Both Greg
The horse existed in the Americas before the Spaniards brought them back. So calling them invasive is inarticulate to say the least and false.
not even close to all the Atrocities that were done & being done by the red/ white/blue. fir decades.
@@andrewrainey6598They had gone extinct for about 10,000 years, so it’s fair to say the Spaniards (re)introduced them and that makes them technically an invasive species, given the time lapse.
My ancestors were of Cherokee and Comanche descent and I have been visited by many different Owls in tough times in my life on at least 4 occasions and they would get extremely close and horses that most people couldn’t get near would come right to me ! I couldn’t explain it. Then most recently I was visited by 2 crow while sitting in a friends yard - not days before I found out I was going to have a son !!! I believe in the spiritual connection because of this - and my mother knew that I was to have a son before I told her !

@@karencansler7127 Look at the title. This wasn't about nice Indians.
It's Ai mf
@@spoonunit1Truth. The eastern tribes would not have done well if stacked up to the plains tribes. I suspect they’d have puked if they’d seen some of the things the Comanche did to captives. This clip is way nicer than the Comanche actually were.
War is war. War is hell.
Even today, it’s hard to find an Apache who doesn’t have an ingrained loathing for the Comanche. What we know of as the Apache culture is mostly the culture of the remnants of the Apache who survived the depredations of theComanche. From a static, agricultural people, the Apache were turned into a nomadic predatory people.
Being Apache I can can tell you we have a loathing of another race.
We were not nomadic
The Apaches held a hung area of land.
@@rydelldanford65 Hello rydelldanford, I meant “nomadic” in the sense of no longer being a “static” agricultural culture practising farming usually along the rivers and creeks. Converting to a “Hunter Gatherer” culture and tending to have more transient “camps” usually located in defensible locations and moved when game and seasonal food dictated. That the Apache lived in areas over which they hunted isn’t debated. I don’t believe the Apache had a sense of individual ownership of either particular pieces of land or of areas or territory. Obviously, the Apache would have regarded land as being “ancestral” maybe they even regarded land as being inhabited by deceased spirits of their clans, I don’t know on that aspect. The Christian idea of an “After life” and “Heaven and/or Hell” is fairly unique.
@@rydelldanford65 Hello rydelldanford, Another thing, I believe the linguistic origins of the Apache language are strong indicators of a nomadic past, after all, it’s Athabaskan based, originating from Canada and the North East!
Thank you this was very interesting… wow
Awsome info about History's Terrifying Native American Tribes, now how about showing another one about the Klamath Modoc Indians and the Modoc Indian Wars and that Sadistic Capt Jack, the leader of the Modoc Indian Tribe in the Pacific Northwest Oregon Territory ?
Life wasn't the same back then.I found many wonderful things as a child in the desert 😊
I learned informed I did not know! Thank you!
Everything on yt is real too
other's. About the Sioux, or lakota Mandan Sioux of Noth Dakota South lakota of South Dakota. They punished Custer at the little big horn, along with Cheyenne, black Foot 7 tribes of the praries.

One hundred percent of the Comanche nation were pacified and assimilated by the Spanish crown at the end of the 18th century. They assumed vassalage to the king of Spain and accepted the Catholic religion and its missions. The crown in turn gave them land titles and guaranteed their autonomy within those large territories (in western Texas, Oklahoma and eastern New Mexico). The independence of the American territories in the 19th century and the arrival of new settlers from the east caused everything that happened after.
That's is so far from the truth. Haha It's okay, everyone thinks they know our history.
@@sandyMlud Our history? The story is one, the true one. Afterwards there are other interests and other interpretations (always interested). But the historical facts are what they are and those cannot be changed.
After hundreds of years of occupation, I know of no first peoples who are "pacified and assimilated" As the people of Europe living under the boot of the Nazi regime may have had to tip their hats to survive in the occupation. Most of their hearts remained free and hoped for deliverance.
Lmao. You wish!
@josesanchez-os7zr what is assimilated mean to you?
Also you should read COMANCHE EMPIRE by Pekka Hamalainen.
He had access to all the original Spanish and Vatican archives. Without going into too much detail the Spanish were so scared of the Comanche they paid them a tithe. Just so they wouldn't pillage their village. But it wasn't that simple. So by the words of the Spanish people, multiple sources, they packed up and moved further south I to Mexico. So please educate yourself of what is fact. Read his book and then read many more that verify this.
Ask yourself if we assimilated why do I speak my native language and sing and dance and hold our traditional ceremonies to this day? Yes, I also live in the modern world and use a cellphone. That doesn't make me assimilated.
I invite you to come down for a dance or the Comanche Nation Fair to introduce you to my people and you can explain how the Spanish pacified us.
I’m a 78 year old 1/4 Anishinaabe American. I’m proud of all my ancestors and enjoy hearing and studying our history. But it’s annoying when people inject total BS into the argument. o we were not peaceful and nature loving. We were as human as any other people anywhere in the world. we fought, conquered others, tortured our enemies and stole what we could just like people everywhere at that time.
Diese Brutalität ist grauenhaft 😢

The Comanche had to sue for peace in 1840 with the Southern Cheyenne's on whose lands they invaded from the Northern Plains, the peace was honoured by the Northern Cheyenne bands.
😂 you mean they had to sue for peace with the Comanche
@@RedHawk-z8z No, they could not fight the Mexicans and Texas at the same time, the Southern Cheyenne's and Arapaho's were raiding Comanche villages at this time for horses and scalps, so in 1840 the Comanche's sent peace offerings to the Cheyenne's, which was accepted, now the Comanche's could fight in Mexico and Texas without fear of their villages being raided by the Cheyenne's, the Cheyenne in turn were able to concentrate on the Pawnee's, who they hated more.
@@georgedoherty2221 yes very true but you can also say that the Cheyenne suffered brutality at the hands of the Comanche and Kiowa. Began wiping out war parties. Pretty sure it wasn't one sided. Both sides wanted peace at that point
It was so interesting to learn more about the Indian culture. Thank you.
What about the soux? I always thought they were pretty tough?
You didn’t learn about “Indian culture”. You learned about “one tribes” warfare. You didn’t learn anything about that tribes culture.
I'm 52% Apache and 48% Spaniard according to Ancestral tests.
Thanks for the video story and all your comments.

In his memoir, Geronimo explains how they captured wild ponies by following the herds for days until the horses got used to them....
Remember when lezbiath warren said she was Native American? Said she was a proud member of the Fukawee tribe.
great history lesson
Damn. Got all three. This video blows up the myth that the White man was the scourge and that Native Americans were all friendly to one another.
Now we know why they were sometimes referred to as "SAVAGES ".
"Indigenous Continent" is a great read on this topic.That myth infantilizes the histories of native people. Reframing the multi-century conflict to colonize the Americas by putting the strength of the tribes first, changed how I conceptualize this history.
@@cherrelanier7304We were going to be called savage no matter what.. how else would taking the land be justified ?
White men were the scourge. Filthy and diseased. White war wasn't the problem, white disease was. Every group has their triumphs and tragedies. Many humans have mixed ethnic backgrounds, we are all basically one people anyways.
@@cherrelanier7304
Depends on the context. Remember in the 19th century "savage" was often used in the same way "native" is used today. Victorian writers like Darwin used the word often but not always disparagingly. It was sometimes used in the sense of "primitive".
Language always changes. We need to keep historical context in mind when discussing these events.
Excellent Presentation,
Don’t ever romanticize these Native American peoples. They were warlike and unspeakably cruel. We often think of them as possessing a nobility superior to their white conquerors. There were good and evil on both sides but I will always maintain the truly noble were those who did not engage in barbarism.
We were not conquered, your system of government was copied from us. and if you truly believe the noble did not engage in barbarism you need to see what happened in those residential schools. Don't forget the larges genocide in earths known history took place right here in North America. Low estimates are 50 million
Thank you for this I read about these tribes but you brought out things I never knew
Nations, not tribes. They weren’t tribes
The Chickasaw were the only tribe to defeat a Conquistador, called the Spartans of the Mississippi Valley, never defeated, never conquered.
I have studied Native American tribes all my life. What is amazing is the variety of cultures among the tribes. Some tribes were peaceful farmers. Especially a lot of the tribes nobody talks about. Having said that I hate how the PC people deny that there were tribes like the Comanche too. They were so much like the ancient tribes in Europe like the Norse, Anglo Saxon, and Celtic tribes. Very fierce and they have my respect.

Google and read first hand accounts of captives. This clip makes the Comanche sound much nicer than they actually were. That hand thing for instance, imagine having your nose burned again and again for days. Imagine seeing your small child or sibling bludgeoned simply because it was crying from hunger.

And the women were brutal

I’m half Tarahumara/ Raramuri of Chihuahua Mexico area. Peaceful hunters and gatherers until the Spanish came to enslave them and they went into the canyons to hide. I’ve always been interested in learning more about all indigenous Tribes. America history totally ignores that The Americans/ European settlers came with guns and canons to steal the natives lands and kill all Indians that got in their way fighting them with spears and arrows until they were able to obtain guns and ammo to fight back. Before the Spanish came with horses, they traveled by foot.
My step father was Raramuri. Dude was 80 years old and could outwalk me at 41.

So much for the myth of the “Noble Savage.”
Excellent!
Whoever wrote this hasn't spent any time around the Blackfeet or the Cheyenne. The Comanche are by no means not fearsome, but on a good day they couldn't warm up either tribe. If you think the Comanch were horsemen you have seen very little. Cheyenne were beyond believable, as were the Pagan, (their real name) , and they were and in many cases still are warriors par excellente. The Pawnee, Comanch, Apache, Sho-Bans, true Arrapiho all stayed well south of their hunting grounds, and well away from their massive horse herds mostly because they couldn't compete on the battle field. The southern tribes were "domesticated" within a generation or two , but those tribes up by the Canadian border still aren't what you'd call totally absorbed
the never were absorbed, interestingly the apache speak an athabascan language so likely migrated south at some point

I was raised near the White Mountain Apache tribe and saw that their reservation was on some of the best land in Arizona. I studied in the library about Arizona tribes of native Americans and knew that 5 Apache tribes came down from Canada, among them the Chiricahua, San Carlos, White Mountain and the Navajo Apache's. If you ask a Navajo today, they will deny it, but they were one of the Apache tribes. I just googled, why do the Navajos deny being one of the Apache tribes and it talked about them being of the Athabascan language group with the Apache's but didn't outright name them as one of the tribes as other sources I have read.
Many also say they're pure Ndee. Right! People are so full of themselves. No pure Indians exist today. At some point in time someone is bound to marry outside their group. As for Apaches, it's the way it's done. Go on a raid, see a beautiful woman, take her away to be a wife. Apache have welcomed many people into their ranks. The key to this is in the Mescalero story of creation. All humans came from the Creator. Only one race exists, human. Be welcoming to others.
I've read that Apache meant enemy and that the Navajos were called Navajo Apache, or enemies with fields due to their cultural adaptation when moving to the south-west.
The language is very similar, I was in San Carlos for a rodeo. I ended up talking with an Apache lady, she spoke in Apache & I answered in Navajo. We understood each other.

Maybe so but they were never able to defeat the Pima, Navajo, Zuni, or Hopi.
Years ago, I saw a western movie titled “Apache Uprising”. And during a campfire scene, the star of that movie explained a story that occurred a hundred years before.
The story went like this: The Great Sioux Nation went south to make war with the Apache. When the battles were over, you could count the dead of the Souix warriors that were left behind by counting their skeletons.

So much , for the bourgeois fiction of "The Noble Savage'!
Both Apache and Comanche means "Enemy. The gauntlet the Iroquois would put you wasn't torture, who is to see if your wanted to be one of them. If you made it to the other side in touch the feet of the chief you was welcomed as a warrior of the tribe. This gauntlet still survive and evolved today as gang initiation or (being blooded). You forgot to Carib tribes which lived across Southern Florida, Cuba, Jamaica, and Haiti. Being known as cannibals not only what they torture prisoners to death, they would eat them. The Caribbean is named after them. They would terrorized the Taino of Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. And sometimes each other. Columbus Crew that he left behind in Haiti is believed to have been eaten by the Caribs.
