As a Dog Soldier or "Hotametananeo" (Means DogMan) the first story is wrong about our name and weapon, the Crooked Lance Warriors are the warriors from our Elk Horn Scraper society, the Crooked Lance is their weapon. Each society had a different weapon, us DogSoldiers use long 6-7 foot long straight lances.
Oh man, I’m so happy I found this channel. I absolutely love this stuff and it’s so hard to find the history
Welcome aboard!
Well done, well researched. Look forward to many more SOATOKC
Thousands of years of brutal, hardcore battle and for so much of it went on obliviously to the rest of the world. Good stuff, my man.
Best history channel on UA-cam! Hands down!
I would agree if there was a sister station dedicated to going in depth with these "scratch the surface" stories.
Truth!!
Shut up
I stumbled on this Chanel as one who loves history this is amazing you paint A picture of A wonderful time and experience that is told in no less way but poetry great Chanel
Narrator's voice is mellifluous
I simply love these stories. So real. So mellow with the music in the background. Thank you for enlightening me with such rich history!
True history of the old west and how the indigenous tribes treated each other is hard to find. Thank you.
Great 197 cups of coffee video for this Thursdsy at 3 am
Probably the best podcast channel, also when it comes to native history.
Love your pictures of the past and the narrative is very informative 👍 👌
Ok. I love these videos. I had no interest in this era of history until the algorithm blessed me with this channel. Subbed and loved.
Funny enough I finally got in to the red dead redemption 2 story mode for the first time since it released, and I started getting these videos recommended and it's all I've been listening to for the last 2 days
I love that comment!
Sitting here in NE Oklahoma, enjoying this amazing history lesson. Huge fan!! 🙏🏿🇺🇸
Go back to Canada us real Americans here in California
I'm moving there next year and I'll listen to this channel there too!
@@tato4612 No you aren't
Excellent as always! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
I LOVE this channel too! If we humans are ever going to have lasting peace and justice, we need to educate ourselves on the varied cultures of the human race. Please keep up the great work! Thanks again,
Adele Crowder
Respectfully, this channel serves as evidence that we as humans will never have lasting peace. We, as a whole, are not a peaceful species.
Only 3 hours and 40 minutes?! That’s hardly long enough to cover one bathroom break.
Ok, it's sunday morning. I did wake n bake. @ 32:34 second guy from the right... tell me he is not wairing a pair of "Nike" hightops.
Love the background music! Also love the American history stories!!!
Thank you I wrote the music in the background, it was my first time so thank you
@donc Love this music. Reminds me of the dark blues that Justin Johnson plays. Wonder if it is his work....
@@V3CT3R Beautifully done!!!
Thank you for this channel! These are the best and the music is perfect!
Man never ceases to amaze how brutal these days were you'll never catch me saying the indians were a peaceful people again 😳
Very thorough and thoughtful work - massive thanks
All of these battles, but one thing is for sure, if it wasn’t for the Indian scouts none of these battles would have ever happened. AMAZING STORIES keep up the GREAT work 🤘
Thank you very much!
I love this storys i tough i knew a lot of the western but only heard of a few of you storys thanks for great upload s and storys for taught
Fremont bought Alcatraz Island for $300 from a Mexican goat herder.
Kit Carson was also married to two different Native American women. Fremont could also be remembered as first to free the slaves in Missouri in 1861, but they where only free for a few weeks because Lincoln rescinded that by executive order.
Really well narrated, with interesting visuals. Love the homespun storytelling style with crackling vocabulary demonstrating intelligence and passion for the subject.
Greetings from Apacheria in the Arizona Territories Ahe'hye'e
We don’t understand what you said, old redskin. We’ thinky’ not
Nice morning coffee video for this Saturday morning
Perfect!
Sunday for me, but that is a story for another time………..

Great background soundtrack in addition to fascinating story telling
Ty for your service
Bruh 😂
wow, this is so interesting. thank you for your hard work with such attention to detail.
Can't get enough of this ❤
Dang, i wasnt expecting over 3 hours! Thats awesome 👌
Thank you !
This reminds me a great deal about the Musket Wars here in New Zealand between the different Iwi (tribes) from the 1800 to 1842. It wasn't like the USA and Canada, here in New Zealand the victor normally ate their victims, some were lucky or unlucky to be slaves! Maori killed each other to such an extent that the number killed in these tribal wars was the same as what New Zealand lost in WW1 and WW2 combined!
This why the Treaty of Waitangi saved Māori from exterminating each other by all the Tribes giving Sovereignty to the Crown.
Oh,dunno bout dat!
Please do not go against the "white people are to blame for everything" narrative.
What a great storyteller
Thank you!
Old Wesr history is the best.
People are People. I like that.
The fact that I just discovered this channel yesterday is a real indictment of the UA-cam algorithm. Fantastic stuff.
Glad you're here now!
@historyattheokcorral algorithm called me here too, even better is that I just got into rdr2 so I've really been digging all this old west stuff
There were some great warriors RIP
Great content my good man, the Old West was the best era in time.
Def not. It certainly is interesting
@Fractal_blip What makes you say that?, what time would you say is greater?
@@mickeycheeba9714 the value of human life was somehow less than it is now. The old west times are certainly fascinating
@Fractal_blip I think it's the same with a technology twist. But if we were to lose the technology then it would be the old west. Now the roaring 20's were another era that was a small difference because of cars other than that the value of life was the same to me.
@@mickeycheeba9714 yeah they were certainly laying sh!t down in the 20's too.
Indeed a nice relaxing Sat. morning & afternoon. Enjoy
Happy I found this my type of stories good stuff
Thank you for the honest and historic telling of the past 😎
Man I loved this🎉
Love that early picture of San Francisco bay also great video Thanks 👍
Entire video gave me goosebumps
Amazing content ❤️
24:49 That spot of land is soaked in blood, three battles where faught in that small area. The battle in this video, the second being an engagement between hostiles and expiditionary force drawn up from Sheridan's Department of Missouri in the winter of 1868 along the banks of Beaver River and the third being the Battle of Camp Supply in June 11, 1870 at the fortified supply camp the army built at the convergence of Beaver River and Wolf Creek, along with counless skirmishes and murders between 1868 and 1890 in and around that area.
Thank you for being true to the person of Kit Carson. I am an amateur historian of carson, and believe that he is unfairly portrayed as an Indian killer with no remorse in today's revisionist history.
Thank you!
Keep it going!!
Lived here my whole life near the Hundred-in-the Hand fight and NEVER heard the story of One Eyed Antelope!
I would love to visit this site and offer my respects and will through further research if possible.
Thank You for all your hard work on these fascinating documentaries!
Thank you for watching!
@@historyattheokcorral Thank you for your awesome content through all of your very hard work!
Huge Respect!
HUGE!
You also have a free place to stay should you ever want to come step on this land yourself! WE'LL EVEN FEED YA! 🏆
I'm home sick from work. For the life of me I can't figure out why, after three hours, the looping sound track hasn't even gotten old yet. That was a really good pick bro. Great content too tho, that's the real reason I'm commenting. How fascinating! Crazy how Mr. Smith, at a ripe old age of 32, was one of only two fatalities on a supposedly safe trip. Seems to me the poor guy was just trying to wrap up the final item on his bucket list before kicking back for a nice retirement during which he could enjoy the fruits of all his hard work. Fascinating.
Donner lake is a great place to go during the summer, fishing and camping… just bring enough food.😂
Cool stories, bro.
Thank you
Love this for falling asleep. Some weird dreams though😂
Oh I love how you all tell a story! Albeit, a sad one....😢
3:17..."The Dog Soldiers quickly retreated to the top of the nearest hill.." -What happened to dog soldiers never retreating regardless of how tactically inane that philosophy/oath was?
Southwest Oregon enjoying. 😊
Southeast Oregon enjoying.
Love rhe music...really hard to get right in this formst , too
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent drawings/Black & White pictures.Reenactments. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Had enemy tribal warriors not assisted the U.S. Calvary in seeking out the remaining tribes. They would have been afforded a better opportunity to negotiate. Agreements that would have better benefited their best interests.

This story hit a bit too close to home for me. Within the last 2-4 generations, I have 2 lines of ancestors with the surname Williams, one with the mane Young, one Maxwell, the latter being my mom's grandma's maiden name.
Best channel!
Good video
This is amazing & a shame not taught In depth in schools.
Crow, black wign

Col. Poole is my uncle
@@GoodCovfefe no way! That's cool
Very interesting and historic events thanks for posting these However ,In your story "The Battle of Belly River .you say Saskatchewan ,Alberta .Both Saskatchewan and Alberta are provinces has to be one or the other can't be both .Its like saying Montana .North Dakota .
I wish we all just got along and their was no fighting eachother, maybe we would all still be following our traditional ways and their would be no drugs in our reserves and the world would definitely be a better place.
Right on I have to agree how to say something and you probably won't ever see this
SJW ! We can’t apply the values of today to the past , life is very hard and a lot of very sad things happened !
Wasn't long after the europeans had started to wipe of the natives so america could be formed properly tho and america have wiped out most of this history themselves
Legend of the one eyed snake 🐍
Blood meridian dlc is much appreciated
I just don't understand how no gunshots were heard when smith was shot.
What are some tips for getting the lighting right as shown in this video?
All your videos are “auditory movies” to me, but I think this might be your magnum opus.
Something tells me they weren't much of swimmers
I don't think many American Indians swam at all.
Savage part was right
Been a dog soldier not always to that... white boy scout...
When are you getting to MacKenzie?
Very soon.
To quote the late, great Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
I don't know about great, but definitely late. Haha
Ownership by conquest.
So whats the difference between comanchero warning J.Smith about the Comanche? They arent the same? Sorry,im a greenhorn but I absolutely love this channel! Awesome sauce!!
The Comancheros were New Mexico traders of Spanish and mixed-race descent who dealt with the Comanche.
Thanks for watching!
@@historyattheokcorral oh ok I understand now! Thank you much and stay blessed brother! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
While important to recognize and understand the horrors committed by the Europeans and Americans to the natives it also very important to understand that it went both ways and I was not that Europeans were barbaric or the Americans were barbaric or that the natives of the many tribe were barbaric. They were all people and they were all barbaric and they all did horrible things to each other but they also did great things to each other while some may be small in comparison they still happened. What is best to do is learn from the history going forward learn the of men who fought and died whether for right or wrong cause. We should leave the past where it is but not leave it behind because all the men, women, and children involved in the conflicts and wars whether within native on native wars or native on European they are all dead and there is nothing you can do in todays world that will fix what has happened because it has already happened.
YES❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The contraries were people who were contrary to everything that means that they were backwards they walked backwards they bathe in the dirt ain't got dirty by the water. Everything they did they did backwards
According to the Indians, Custer was one of the first to die
“Gros Ventres” is pronounced as “Grow Vaunt” in English. French for fat or big belly.
Isn’t it the difficulty on Fremont Street?

I was born less than 20 miles from Bainbridge, NY
Binghampton?
@@HistoricallyRomantic No, north of Binghamton. Small town, rural. I did live there for a while and worked between Binghamton and Endicott most of my life.
Are there references for these stories?

So did Metzger die ?
so sad the time is gone
The Donnor party was not to be blamed completely. Because of a malfunction of a U.S. military satellite, their GPS had taken them miles off course. This, combined with the fact that a 7-Eleven had been closed down due to high crime, led to the horrible outcome of this group.
@thepitpatrol weird fact: one of the men who survived the Donner Party tragedy ended up opening a restaurant in San Francisco.
@luanngarcia6435 wow, how many stars do they have?
Hi
Correction, Not all of the 7th Cavalry was cut down that day, 1 lone man survived and lived with the shame of being called a coward by all that met him. FYI
Who might that man be?
@@user-gz6vm8bz6ponly confirmed "survivor" is Comanche, a horse belonging to Captain Myles Keogh. Not sure who this dude is talking about. There's supposedly dozens of "lone survivors" of Custer's last stand...none confirmed other than Comanche

Who was that masked man?!!

As a full blooded Flat Rock Indian, let me thank you for your work and ask you to stop calling my people "indigenous," or whatever term the liberal Whites have come up with most recently. We are proud to be Indians, and refer to ourselves as such. We also know better than to claim to be the original people of this country, as we know that if you go back in history far enough, you will find many others of other races that came before us and built civilizations that rose and fell, as all things do.
I think Saulteaux is pronounced So-toe. Kainai is pronounced G-eye-n-eye.
