Its wild, i lived in hawaii breifly as a kid, my dad was buddies with a hawaiian native guy, and, being an american kid in the 80's, i was as martial arts obsessed as the next kid, hah. But my dads buddy was such a nice dude, he had this sword made out of some crazy hard wood, and when i was like, lol, fake sword, he went full fruit ninja, showing me just what a wood sword could do, if its the right wood, and the person swinging it knew what they were doing. Little me was super impressed, hah. The other thing i remember was the dude did these wood carvings as his day job, and the wood was so flipping hard, he used this tiny littlw adz (like an axe with the blade turned 90°) instead of a little knife or chisels like european wood carving. I totally know polynisian culture is seperate from native american culture, but the point stands, that you wouldnt want to get whacked by any "promitive" weopon, hah.
I am of Irish ancestry, living in Massachusetts by dint of historical happenstance. So much has been erased here for any one wishing to know “what is the history of this place” pre 1639 or so. Thanks for videos like this. All honor to the Algonquin peoples and others who once called the place I call home, heaven on earth, where the people greeted the first light.
Thank you I appreciate your interest in our culture. I am a reconnecting native of Yesah/Miqmaq/Powhatan descent so I appreciate that people take the time learn about us! Kwe Kwe!
The game was given to us by the Creator to keep us from making War on each other too much. Far better to settle a disagreement with a competition than to needlesly take a Life.
Yes!!! Even AFTER decimation by disease, when it would only be logical to think : “Are We Cursed? Has God turned against Us???” They STILL kept it together- and lived out their finest Values, and never gave up!!! 🫡 I need to have some of that Spirit, damn it!!! Thank You! Wandering Warrior!! For a great video. 🔥
The disease part is probably more complex than you think, with differents epidemics hitting different parts of the continent over decades. Wars and hunger certainly did not help the natives in dealing with it.
Hello fellow archer and kali practitioner. I'm transitioning to Kyudo from Western Archery myself. My kali background is in Inosanto Lacoste and now learning Pekiti Tirsia. You are putting out good work. Continue please. おねがいします。Greetings from Aomori, Japan!
@TenchiBushi, I came from Filipino Latosa Escrima with cross training in Pekiti Tirsia Kali but learning Japanese Jo-jutsu using the hardwood short staff Jo really took my interest away from FMA because the Jo is a superior weapon to bladed weapons and may be legally carried in public (unlike most bladed weapons).
A huge advantage of the musket was making the initial ambush far more difficult to detect. Unlike a bow, you can remain completely motionless(and fire from a supported position) until the moment of initiation. This was first noted with crossbows, allowing them to exploit tiny openings in cover and still shoot very accurately. It also draws attention with the flash, bang and smoke, which is a drawback in that it fixes your position. However, with a properly sited ambush, the shooter can displace to a different position immediately. The sound and smoke signature can be exploited with the employment of an "L" shaped ambush, using the distraction of the shot to permit bowmen to draw and loose undetected from a perpendicular angle. They can rapid fire while the musketeer(s) are reloading. Correctly executed, in the first second or so of an ambush, several casualties are inflicted and the enemy is under fire from at least two different angles. This is usually enough to scatter them or suppress them and allow defeat in detail. Or you can simply withdraw having made your point.
@@feudist I think that's a pretty good tactic that you described and I do think that ambushers using muskets have the advantage of minimal movement and in some ways increased lethality.
@@the.wandering.warriorhell yeah will do! (Also side note the depictions of wooden armour you showed reminded me of those used by the “Tlingit” an “Haida” ppls of the Canadian west coast, they have pretty unique martial history aswell and I think you’d find it very interesting)
THESE MY PEOPLE!!! AGGHHHHHH!!! I am Indigenous of Yesah/Powhatan/Miqmaq extraction. Thank you for teaching about Algonquian peoples and our cultures. Ive always planned on making a War club at some point. We was some warriors fr.
But yeah when the English got off their boats my ancestors definitely knew to watch our steps. Still treated with kindness, but it ultimately led to multiple wars, and the massacre of most our peoples. The rest of us were sent to boarding schools, enslaved, and or put on reservations. My ancestors come from Fort Christianna. I have ancestors from the Paspahegh tribe that got absorbed into others. We were proud to defend our people. Its still very much ingrained into us. I was taught it growing up.
@@snakeoveer1046 please point out the inaccuracies. I think it's more accurate than the old narratives of Inherent inferiority and God's will, but I'm also interested in what you think are it's flaws
@the.wandering.warrior I tried to answer many times yet youtube deletes it every time. Many historians and anthropologists raised points of criticism that are easily accessible on the internet.
I think one inaccurate point it underplays is the overall brutality in which the europeans, knownly, destroyed infrastructures that had sustained large populations of indiginous cultures in the america. For example once the famines and the scorched earth tactics had been implemented. It left a starving population to fend off the old world germs. These combination were lethal to the population.
@@jobsanchez9989 I was mainly thinking about the oversimplication of the germs (multiple plagues over decades hitting white and native on different parts of the continent) and weapons (minimizing the role of conquistador's native allies in favor of guns). It is a pop history book with a narrative constructed from cherry picking and oversimplification. It could be worse but it's not that good.
@@jobsanchez9989 totally agree with that... I don't think I overlooked that aspect, but I can see how quoting Jared diamond might make you guys think that
When someone emigrates to the USA and goes through a decade of lawyers, paperwork, jumping through hoops with embassies, and money for citizenship just to be a victim of the US Health Insurance scam, should we then say “That’s one way of putting it” Don’t continue the lies of the colonies, when they say adoption they mean it and the survivors don’t deserve your slander on their ancestors efforts to have there be survivors. Show some respect or deserve none.
What's the evidence for the given draw weights for the bows of this region? I suspect some warbows were considerably higher, as they seem to have been in the land now claimed as the Southeastern USA according to Spanish accounts. Peter Cole's 1638 account of warfare in New England describes an English soldier named Captaine Turner who received an arrow on his breastplate "as if it had beene pushed with a pike, and if hee had not had it on, hee had lost his life". This suggests it was a powerful shot. Accounts from Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca (a direct participant) & El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (not a direct participant) present the bows of groups like the Timucua as extremely potent. De la Vega wrote that no Spaniard could draw a captured Native bow & that only plate armor or very thick fabric stopped Native arrows.
I'm glad you asked. I gave a range of 30-70# with my guess at the majority being 30-50# of pull. Based on my research certain groups prioritized higher poundage and others didn't. I read the stuff about the Timucua you wrote as well as Captain Turner's. I also suspect the Cherokee cornstalk shoot hints at a time when longer and heavier poundage shots might've been prized. That said all in all I think in the period I'm talking about which is just before European contact and the centuries following, it seems muskets increasingly replaced bows and men weren't prioritizing archery and heavy draw so much. There also doesn't seem to have been much standardization so some boys and men would've pulled lighter and some heavier but given their hunting base, if they could stalk or ambush from close enough the shot placement was more important than sheer poundage. However now that I think about it, I might've underestimated the poundage esp for pre contact era. It's probable it was on the higher end of my estimate, 50-70# rather than 30-50#. I think I over generalized
@@the.wandering.warrior I strongly suspect the archers Cabeza de Vaca & de la Vega described drew 100-180+lb warbows as we know existed in various parts of Eurasia across time & space (from 3,000 years ago in Xinjiang to the Mary Rose to the late Ming to the Qing, etc.). Any archers who had to worry about piercing armor or shields may well have done the same, though not necessarily. There is less evidence for mighty bows in the area & period you cover in this video, but I feel like Native bows often get underrated in terms of their draw weight & penetrative power. Most of the evidence I'm aware of comes from hunting bows & is much later than the 16th or 17th century. Again based on Cabeza de Vaca & de la Vega, some Native warriors around what's now claimed as Florida used long self-bows quite similar to the famous English yew warbow. De la Vega even wrote one Englishman & one Spaniard raised in England participated in the Florida expedition, & both used bows while the rest of the Europeans didn't.
@@b.h.abbott-motley2427Not sure about the east coast but I do know that longbows were a common weapon of the Texan East coast tribes. Something I’ve noticed with accounts of the tribes that did use the longbows is that they were typically known to be of exceptional stature. Given that Europeans of that pre modern and modern era were shorter at around 5’5 it stands to reason that the bows of the Indians would be challenging for them to draw with higher draw weights when considering the tribesmen were likely considerably larger than them.
Another interesting video. There were battles along the Hudson river near me for many years amoungst the native people.There are a couple islands they fought on as well as on the shores and local woods. Thanks for the real history! Hey, that iron bird sounds like it's going to roost at Logan IA. Am l correct?
The existing population couldn't penetrate the interior, it took literal centuries of immigration from europe to get enough bodies to fight the natives. The indian wars lasted up to the 20th century. Untold millions of Europeans died taking the continent. This video is just highlighting the eastern woodland too.
@@the.wandering.warrior Awh man! LOL... I missed it! Gonna watch it again! Thanks! I did a video on the armor, why they stopped wearing it, and how some of it looks like the giant hairy tribes of old... the mound builder tribes.
Matchlocks usually had supporting archers, particularly when moving under potential attack, because only one in five would have their matches lit and it would take time for everyone to light up.
@@raphlvlogs271 some cultures never fully abandoned the bow and arrow, though some did - those with more reliable access to European trade could get more firearms - the only issue being that may also made them more dependent on European manufacture and economics Though if your nation was having trouble procuring enough firearms you would have to use archery more often... I think later on during the Muskogee civil War, known as red sticks uprising or creek wars, maybe 2/3 of the warriors were using archery, skill in archery never fully disappeared, it just became less emphasized especially with tribes and Nations that had more access to guns

@@peterpadazopoulos2954 WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? I'm talking about wars to take captives, kill enemies and mourning. This was the primary mode of war in the Eastern Woodlands regions. Conquering land and trying to kill each other are two different things. Please consider this. People can kill each other for centuries but never actually try to take over their land. The motivations for war can be different. Pre-contact with the Europeans they GENERALLY were not fighting for land, they DID try to kill each other and take captives but usually were NOT fighting for conquest. It wasn't until something like the Haudenosaune and the beaver wars that we see a native Confederacy conquer land for its beaver and to monopolize the trade. They are just one example, most never did that.
It kinda sounds like you have an anti european bias. The greeks say the strong do what they want and the weak suffer what they must such is the way the world works.
@@tacitpowder8656 Of course that's the way of the world. 😂 As for bias, I mean you could take it that way if you want to but to be clear, this is a video about Native American Eastern Woodlands warfare on the eve of contact and then colonization by Europeans.

I also make the point that it's not victimhood that I'm focusing on but rather the underdog mentality of overcoming hardship. Did that bother you somehow?
