Chief Black Dog or Tehong-tas-sab-bee was a giant. He was not 6 foot 6 but 7 feet tall and weighed over 300 pounds. A lot of the Osages were from 6 foot 6 to 7 feet tall. Kots-a-to-ah or also known as Smoke Shield was another 7 footer. There were a lot of the odages that were 7ft. Hundreds of them were 7 foot. They were the tallest race of men in North America. They were the biggest and the baddest and nobody messed with them.
Hey man I appreciate the fact you need to make an income off sponsors, but I almost clicked off the video before your ad at the very beginning was over. Didn't you learn in school you need an attention grabber at the beginning of content? I've never watched your content before so I have no prior investment in staying to watch. I also have seen 100s of Better Help ads so it is utterly disinteresting to me. Just my comment as I am finishing this ad, now I am about to watch this video.
@@HistoryDose i love watching your American indigenous history videos, it would be awesome if you could do one about Canadian indigenous like ,the cree and there allies that stood against the government
Osage here. As a student of history, I love the channel and was surprised to see you covering our history. As you can imagine, I watched carefully for errors and omissions. I'm impressed that you got it all correct! I'd offer two additions that help shape the narrative: 1. When it came time to uproot and move again following the civil war, the Osages bought land from the Cherokee everybody thought was worthless: half of it scrub oak and rock-covered hills. No farming to be done there, nothing to lure American settlers, and no one realized the oil underground. 2. Allotment (the dividing up) of Osage land didn't happen overnight and by fiat. Osage leadership, namely by Chief James Bigheart and not Black Dog II, savvily navigated both the US Government and private oil producers for fifteen years to ensure the Osages kept the sub-surface mineral rights in common to the tribe. The wealth the tribe came into was a result of their diligence and efforts.
Appreciate the comment and glad you liked it! Those are indeed useful additional comments :) The brevity of our videos enables our production value (the art/editing take a long time!) and digestibility, but I always include sources in the description for folks to keep reading after getting their “dose.” I’ve often thought of doing companion podcasts to these episodes-with more time, there’s a lot more to be said on the epidemics that afflicted the Osage, the Jesuit presence, and the specifics of reservation life and land/mineral rights.
@@HistoryDose You really should take up podcasting in that manner. I would love to hear a discussion between you brothers on cool tidbits and facts you felt necessary to omit from the initial videos.
My friend I met in the Marines is Osage, and he had his grandfather make us gunstock warclubs and ship them to us while we were overseas. Mine now hangs on the wall above my mantle, despite my wife's lamentations, and is one of my prized possessions.
@@HistoryDose Good call. You probably already know, but there is an indigenous martial art called Okichitaw that utilizes the gunstock warclub as a primary weapon.
I appreciate that you guys cover topics that aren't mainstream. It's harder to get the views doing that, but it's great to learn new things. Thanks for all the hard work, amazing video!
The Osage did more than meet Louis XV, they hunted with him and listened to music together. The Osage and French were buds against the Spanish, Americans and to a lesser extent the English. It’s a shame that Napoleon killed the bromance. Edit: Sounds like I misread a source about the hunting party, my bad!
See the Ellis source in the bibliography at the bottom of the description for the full translated (originally French) account of the 1725 Osage visit. Beyond some expected demeaning language (referring to the visitors as “Savage” and clearly inventing parts of their speeches in order to flatter the king), it is a genuinely fascinating read. It actually mentions the delegation meeting Louis after he returned from his hunt, but also mentions the chiefs marveling at the fountains and particularly enjoying the opera
@@doe729 You seem to be misinterpreting my comment entirely. A historic diplomatic familiarity between two entities is not ‘me’ giving the French a pass. The Osage peoples and the French still celebrate their historic relationship some 200 years later (The Osage recently erected a monument if I recall correctly). I am joining both sides in celebrating this cooperation. Historiography is not a moralist tale, it’s an academic pursuit. Get off your high-horse before you fall back to earth.
I worked on the Killers of the Flower Moon movie and cannot wait for their story to be told. A strong and proud people who were betrayed and double crossed by the U.S. government. Thank you for telling part of their story!
I grew up in Hominy, Oklahoma, Osage county. My first boyfriend& best friend were Osage. My grandparents’ property adjoined the Osage Village by a ditch. I spent most of my younger years at their house & in the summer they would hold pow wows about every weekend or every other. We would attend, then come home & spend the night in the” summer house”, a screened in room over the cellar with beds. I would drift off to sleep listening to the drums. That’s my most favorite childhood memory. When I was 40 years old, I found out that I have Cherokee relatives from the past.
It’s hard not to be sad for these people, the brave men that fought to defend their way of life from a power that they could never stop. If it’s any condolence, these people will always be remembered for their struggle, and for their perseverance.
“Everything about you is in chains, you are slaves yourselves…Talk to my sons; perhaps they may be persuaded to adopt your fashions…but for myself, I was born free, was raised free, and wish to die free” wow that’s amazing
Having watched Killers of the Flower Moon yesterday, I had to come back. It was a great movie, and knowing the history behind the Osage made it much better.
Cherokee Warrior and Warrior Historian: this is an excellent representation of what occurred. A I add, only, that the Cherokee Western Bands had a long standing peace with the Osage. We had no issues with the great nation and respected the Osage. We even intermarried (many of the physical traits remain today such as black hair, darker skin, and lankier build). Our war with the Osage was forced out of desperation. The Northern and Eastern Bands of Cherokee were starving, sick, and our resources depleted. We’d already suffered the Trail. Our intense hatred of our circumstances was misplaced and we made war with the Osage.
Something about this episode made it hit me: imagine after millennia of freedom, centuries of fighting bitter rivals… then being forced into a barren land right next to those so-called enemies… your enmity distracted you from the real threat, and all of you made the same mistake. The shame, the guilt, the regret, the resentment… it all would’ve been so painfully obvious and so bitter… The strength to carry on and argue for those mineral rights and to keep their culture alive is truly amazing and humbling.
My great uncle Clarence Tinker was the only Native American general there’s ever been in the US military and he died in the battle of midway. So proud to be Osage
Some of your family came back to the E-Lon-Ska(Dance of the Eldest Son) to dance on Tinker's sacred song. I was there,it was great. Hope you get to participate in our traditions too. I also know some tinkers from Utah that come to the Osage Native American Church on the Rez
I admire you guys for putting so much passion into these videos, especially since everyone today seems to be focused on making as much money as possible by making fast content. I especially admire that you stand up for your artist. A lot of history channels have switched to AI-generated imaginery, and I was honestly afraid if you guys would do the same. Glad to see the addition of "The art is original and manually made by" in the description. thank you for keeping the art human and making your videos stand out even more. I hope I can near future become patreon supporter.
I live in Kansas near the Ozarks. There used to be brutal stuff going down with the Osage right here only a few generations ago. It's just never thought about by anybody because it feels like the world doesn't start until civilization starts.
I love learning about the natives. If possible, I would like to know more about them pre-contact. I understand that written word/history wasn't a thing and it came down to oral tradition, but if able it would be amazing.
A really good book that details such history is “1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus” by Charles C. Mann. It’s a long read but truly perspective changing
@@ChooseForToday Oh, compelling and rich argument. Clearly, you are my intellectual superior and not a complete tard...where are these threats? Are they somewhere in the same vicinity of the 40 beheaded Israeli babies?
Another superb video, I'm honestly so impressed every video your channel puts out. As a Brit, I had no idea that the Civil War occurred at a time where these actions were still ongoing against Natives. I'd always thought it would have been much before then, given the other reasons the Civil War took place. As a Brit there are similar actions to learn of and regrets to have regarding our impact on the world, but the American history, the positive stories of individuals living together such as the Jesuits in this video, but also the awful treatment and arrogance of the US Government stuns me. Great watch!
I'm really glad to watch this, because I saw Killers Of The Flower Moon and didn't know much of anything about the events leading up to it. They should have payed you guys to put this on the movie's DVD as a special feature! At the beginning of the video, I saw how big the Osage territory was and thought "Wow, it makes sense that oil would be struck within such a huge area." Then their territory kept getting smaller and smaller, and by the end i thought "Wow, they really hit the jackpot striking so much oil despite a drastically smaller area!" Or rather, a jackpot for a while, until the social/societal turmoil it would cause during the events of Flower Moon. Unless I'm wrong and the events of the movie took place when the Osage territory was bigger.
that was a really great episode brother.. im from west canada near vancouver.. and grew up with and havr lots of friends that are native.. they are such great people.. the men are strong and kind and generous and very tough.. and the womrn are gentle and caring and very beautiful.. i know about the residential schools and all. the horrific actions taken by the govt and the church to basically destroy a race of people.. its really awful what happened to them.. the damage done is still being felt through the generations... the pain cuts deep. its very sad.. because they had a much bette way of living than us european descendants have.. they lived in harmony with nature and kept thr balance.. so. sad.. i pray for the ones who suffered and the ones. who still suffer. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪😞
Hi, I’m new to your channel! Really appreciate the history and knowledge you share. My great grandmother was stolen at age 12 and forced into marriage, having my grandfather. She had 3 children but they were taken from her. She was able to sneak into where they were keeping her children and took one son- not my grandfather. My grandfather was raised by his “grandmother “…. We aren’t really sure if she was his biological grandmother. Anyway, we do not have documentation of much of any of my mom’s family. Most claimed to be Mexican, because it was apparently more safe and respected than being NA. We are told that my stolen grandmother was Tongva, from what is now California. I’d love to know more about their history. I believe they have been seeking federal recognition for decades but rejected although there is evidence of them inhabiting the land before settlers. I truly appreciate it. Thank you.
As always, both in narrative and visual display, you hit a grand-slam home run with the above video documentary. I especially enjoyed the topic due to the importance of the Osage at the time. Some tribes, despite being important in a given time and place are often eclipsed by more noticed groups like the Lakota, Comanche and Apache. Not that those groups don't deserve the attention given them, but they weren't the the only players on the board, and awareness of other tribes and nations are long overdue. For instance, that the ultra-formidable Comanche often raided but never came close to conquering the Osage shows how resilient they really were.
I’ve got a story for you……talk about what the Spanish did to the plains indians(native Americans) before the English arrived…..one of the largest genocided barely talked about, massive story
History Dose I love your videos, especially the ones that talk about battles, they're so epic. If you can I would love to see a video about the Portuguese in the age of discoverys, we had a lot of interesting storys, for example the battle of Diu.or Vasco da Gama in India.
I'm an Indian from India and have always been interested in Native American tribes since alot of them share some similarities to certain tribes over here in North east india, Like Nagas, Kukis, Mizos etc. Do native americans still live traditional lives at the reservations or have they moved on to a more modernistic lifestyle with normal jobs now? I'm asking because I dont know.
@@Corgi_Manu Yes, many tribes hold various ceremonies throughout the year. If you would like to see a large native American community, I suggest visiting Phoenix AZ, check out the Heard Museum.
I love the artwork you’ve used. Great finds. I grew up in Osage and Kay Counties. Looks like Kay County was once Osage land too, long before the Ponca Indians were forced there from Nebraska. I appreciate your deep dive into history.
Thanks! All the art is original and made by my brother Joe. Check out the "How the Art is Made for History Dose" video to see our historical and art process. ~Chris
Not just another History Channel. So glad that the algorithm made me aware of @HistoryDose with the sort of historic content that I know nothing about which is fascinating when learning about peoples and events unfamiliar to me. Im especially interested in learning about native Americans and their nations.
I just got finished listening to pat mcafee and the boys break down Taylor Swift’s NFL debut and I got recommended this absolute masterpiece. What a change of pace, this is what the internet is all about.
@@4bidden1 honestly I care more about football and her music isn’t really what I’m into but it’s just interesting how much of a spectacle is made of it and how I got recommended a video from my favorite history creator after watching that stuff!
@@michaelmay230 bc most ppl are sheep. The Romans gave the people “bread and circuses” no different from today it’s just evolved to pizza or beer and football or celebrities
Great videos. Love doing the washing and just listening to these historical snippets. Being in Australia, rarely hear anything about native American history.
You have a lot of talent. I don’t subscribe or comment that much but I think you should make videos more often and go at this full-time. You really have something with this channel.
Love this channel the way it tells stories, the animations... its Just great (Ps make a video about skanderbeg i would love to see how you tell that story, it would be absolutely epic)
Wow your storytelling with the visual your content is amazing some of the best on the UA-cam maybe if not the very best..I look forward to everything you drop brother thank you for this masterpiece 🙏🏻👏
It's sad to think this will not be seen in certain states of our country. So many are scared of history, education for that matter. Thank you for posting this, I will pass it along. Take care
History Dose, another great story to talk about would be the Seminole Indians standing their ground against the US government in Florida. I hope to see a video about it one day.
@HistoryDose. Hey, man, I love your videos. It would be fantastic if you were to do a video on the historical naval battle of St. Georges Caye. It took place in the Caribbean, in the country of Belize, in Central America. It was between the Spaniards and the British. Fun fact: Although Belize is not commonly known, it was the primary source of mahogany wood, which the British harvested.
I throughly enjoyed your video on the Osage. Though i was so disheartened to see what the Osage went through. Especially the pitiful size of their tribal land after the US carved it up. It was unfortunetly the same for so many first peoples in North America. Truly the Osage were smart in keeping the mineral rights. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
The Cherokee warrior depicted in the painting at 5:59 bears a striking resemblence to the Pawnee warrior from Dances with Wolves as he rode to kill the settler and steal his mules, which is interesting because the actor playing that Pawnee warrior, Wes Studi, is himself Cherokee

So glad I stumbled on your channel. I am not Native - but consider myself a friend and ally. Very good presentation..😊😊
A reminder that what is yours is only what you can defend.
Can we get an episode on the Boer Wars? Great episode by the way :)
I’ve got a story for you……talk about what the Spanish did to the plains indians(native Americans) before the English arrived…..one of the largest genocided barely talked about, massive story
They did this one:

They have already done that
Sounds based
@@yrnggg1237 You need to learn empathy
They’ve already done one about the Spaniards and the Comanches.
It's always a treat when you lads post.
History Dose I love your videos, especially the ones that talk about battles, they're so epic. If you can I would love to see a video about the Portuguese in the age of discoverys, we had a lot of interesting storys, for example the battle of Diu.or Vasco da Gama in India.
Great book. I must’ve read it three times at least, since 2018.
I just gotta say I love your voice and storytelling skills, keep it up man, I always look forward to your stuff
I’m part Osage.. never knew any of their history. Thank you for posting this it means a lot. ❤
I'm an Indian from India and have always been interested in Native American tribes since alot of them share some similarities to certain tribes over here in North east india, Like Nagas, Kukis, Mizos etc. Do native americans still live traditional lives at the reservations or have they moved on to a more modernistic lifestyle with normal jobs now? I'm asking because I dont know.

@@Corgi_Manu Yes, many tribes hold various ceremonies throughout the year. If you would like to see a large native American community, I suggest visiting Phoenix AZ, check out the Heard Museum.
The art and story is always top notch
I love the artwork you’ve used. Great finds. I grew up in Osage and Kay Counties. Looks like Kay County was once Osage land too, long before the Ponca Indians were forced there from Nebraska. I appreciate your deep dive into history.
Thanks! All the art is original and made by my brother Joe. Check out the "How the Art is Made for History Dose" video to see our historical and art process.

This channel is fu**ing amazing.
This is your best vid yet! Always enjoy watching your videos!
Wow, thanks!
Channels like this are so awesome because we get to learn about these characters we would never learn about in College.
Not just another History Channel. So glad that the algorithm made me aware of @HistoryDose with the sort of historic content that I know nothing about which is fascinating when learning about peoples and events unfamiliar to me.
Im especially interested in learning about native Americans and their nations.

Between the art and care taken on these videos one of my favorite and most recommended history channels
Thanks! Check out our Live Q&A videos for a discussion of the research and work that goes into each painting!
@@HistoryDose I’ve had friends in college say they learned more on some topics than they did in lectures 😂
I just got finished listening to pat mcafee and the boys break down Taylor Swift’s NFL debut and I got recommended this absolute masterpiece. What a change of pace, this is what the internet is all about.
Who even cares about Swift
@@4bidden1 honestly I care more about football and her music isn’t really what I’m into but it’s just interesting how much of a spectacle is made of it and how I got recommended a video from my favorite history creator after watching that stuff!
@@michaelmay230 bc most ppl are sheep. The Romans gave the people “bread and circuses” no different from today it’s just evolved to pizza or beer and football or celebrities
@@4bidden1 heard that. Rather be a happy sheep than a starving wolf.
@@michaelmay230 you’re not happy and I’m not starving
Great videos. Love doing the washing and just listening to these historical snippets. Being in Australia, rarely hear anything about native American history.
Thanks for all details provided on the history of The Osage People.
You have a lot of talent. I don’t subscribe or comment that much but I think you should make videos more often and go at this full-time. You really have something with this channel.
The book was great, i recommend it to every one on audible
the best channel to replace hollywood! thank you!
Love this channel the way it tells stories, the animations... its Just great
(Ps make a video about skanderbeg i would love to see how you tell that story, it would be absolutely epic)
Awesome coming home to see a new video of History Dose uploaded! Thanks for another amazing episode
Your videos are amazing they are so immersive i wish these were 40min long i always want more after watching
This is the history american children should read and learn from.
Every video hits just as hard as the last. Y’all are awesome
I'd love to see a video on the inupiaqs Eskimos of alaskas arctic territories
JUST what I was looking for, many thanks, many thanks
Wow your storytelling with the visual your content is amazing some of the best on the UA-cam maybe if not the very best..I look forward to everything you drop brother thank you for this masterpiece 🙏🏻👏
3:33 very interesting❤❤❤😊😊😊🔥🔥🔥 I love so much the history and the cultures of the Native americans❤❤❤😊😊😊🔥🔥🔥
Love the fact that this Channels covers the history of other continents except europe!
It's sad to think this will not be seen in certain states of our country. So many are scared of history, education for that matter. Thank you for posting this, I will pass it along. Take care
In which states will this not be seen? And in those states, how will it be censored and hidden?
No one is censoring this. Why are you lying?
Emblem of the Americas1798 this is what they don't want you to see
@@gew2027 😂
@@UnprofessionalProfessor The best paintings of that era are in the British Museum
Just found your channel and subbed. This was excellent & I enjoyed very much!!
Thanks! More Native American history on the way!
Did more justice to the story than the movie could imo
Just found your page, I watched the mamaluks vs Mongols first than this one, you're an excellent storyteller, great job on the video.
amazing graphics and so informative
Thank you!
Your production quality is always top notch. Wish I could give more thumbs up.
Just found you. Excellent narration and editing. Thank you for your time and effort.
This is so well done. I would love to see anything to do with the Choctaw, which is my grandpa's tribe.
History Dose, another great story to talk about would be the Seminole Indians standing their ground against the US government in Florida. I hope to see a video about it one day.
I like it! Hope to cover it down the line!
Love these Native American videos. I’d love for you guys to make a video on coastal tribes like the Myaamia, Seminole, or Ohlone
Excellent as always 👏👏👏
In my opinion this is one of the best history channels on UA-cam.
@HistoryDose. Hey, man, I love your videos. It would be fantastic if you were to do a video on the historical naval battle of St. Georges Caye. It took place in the Caribbean, in the country of Belize, in Central America. It was between the Spaniards and the British. Fun fact: Although Belize is not commonly known, it was the primary source of mahogany wood, which the British harvested.
Excellent. Thank you! I did not even know the name of the tribe (I am in Germany, but nevertheless)... Merry Christmas!
Thanks guys.
Beautifully presented as always.
Interesting subject, thanks
Dude! 6 foot 6inches! This guy was a fucking giant in his day. He was probably bigger and stronger than Jeremiah Johnson
Oh man this is amazing
As usual 🤯🫡🤩
I throughly enjoyed your video on the Osage. Though i was so disheartened to see what the Osage went through. Especially the pitiful size of their tribal land after the US carved it up. It was unfortunetly the same for so many first peoples in North America. Truly the Osage were smart in keeping the mineral rights. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
Thanks for the great story🙏🙌
@historydose what is the song at 10:01. It's epic along with the artwork and quote. It's all perfect in harmony
Great video looking forward to the movie. You guys should do a video on the Apache about Geronimo or Cochise perhaps.
10:00 over 100 years ago and yet he knew what society will be like today
Thank you for this educational video
The Cherokee warrior depicted in the painting at 5:59 bears a striking resemblence to the Pawnee warrior from Dances with Wolves as he rode to kill the settler and steal his mules, which is interesting because the actor playing that Pawnee warrior, Wes Studi, is himself Cherokee
INCREDIBLE VIDEO !
