- This video concerning the topic of Illinois, Native Americans and the Civil War, comes from the "Illinois During the Civil War, 1861-1865" website (dig.lib.niu.edu/civilwar/), which is a creation of Northern Illinois University Libraries' Digital Initiatives Unit: www.ulib.niu.edu/DigitalInitia... The "Illinois During the Civil War site presents primary source material illuminating society and politics in wartime Illinois. Although no battles took place in Illinois, the state's residents still shaped the Civil War's course and felt its effects. The site includes letters, diaries, and reminiscences of union soldiers, as well as other materials from the home front.

The other big issue with Blackfoot tribe was due to the hunting HABITS of American settlers on sacred hunting grounds like attwood and Blackhawk springs, the use of guns for hunting would scare animals away, and sometimes accidentally hit hunting natives. The Blackfoot tribe were also deeply hurt that these hunters would take more than they needed, leave skinned deer carcasses and destroy the flora without replenishing and replanting seeds and not using the whole deer. Hunting for "sport" was NOT OK to native beliefs
This was no longer an attack on their traditions in the eyes of the natives but an attack on waunkantanka ( mother earth/ earth goddess), and on SACRED HUNTING GROUNDS! When the natives confronted settlers about this grave offense, the settlers basically said too bad, if u don't wanna get hit by random bullets get out of the woods ya savage these are our grounds now so...
LEARN TO FARM!
Understandably, the natives were PISSED; but not just for themselves, they had A FUCKIN GOD AND PLANET TO SAVE......attwood park and Blackhawk springs are the bloody battle grounds in which these fights occurred.
I think what really hurt the natives wasn't losing land, but failing to protect the ecosystem and goddess....
Thank you, added to a playlist...
Love the information...
Hate the Banjo....
Nobody cares
Paddle faster
Holy shit
There are many settlers that lived peaceably with the natives and this is not portrayed here many settlers that joined natives and had children. There were all so many natives that attacked innocent settlers and that is also not portrayed here
He said Cherokee Dog Warriors in one sentence. I guess we re supposed to asume that would be Cherokee raiders,
I know and Kit Carson married a Native. So its way more complex. Lots of them died from small pox and stuff. Look at the movie Dances With Wolves..There may have been just as much friendliness, as non friendliness.
German settlers from Pennsylvania also were coming down to Illinois to find work, Germans had always been somewhat nomadic in Europe for work and TRADE. Poorer German families (like the few in my family lineage) would hunt and forage the same woods as the natives. Because they had become unemployed due to northern industrialization, the German farmhands in my family resorted to growing their own gardens and made trade with the natives in exchange for permission to hunt on their grounds. This also started an exchange of info on native plant life and MUSHROOMS! A lot of the information we have on American plant life was passed to us by the native Americans thru trade, and hell, my family might have starved out if it weren't for them allowing my ancestors to hunt in their forests to keep the family fed while in search of work.
Foraging for mushrooms is now a deeply rooted tradition in my family now. We never take entire plant or mushroom clusters, we only kill animals we're gonna eat, and we plant new seed as often as we can to give back to nature as to preserve the ecosystem as best as possible.
the music ruined what I was hoping to learn
I thought the potawatomi were one of the last tries to remove from illinois? I met a 95-year-old lady a couple years ago and she said that the potawatomi would still have weekend powers in Willow springs illinois. I will be doing a video of the area within the next couple weeks if everything goes well. Thanks for the information. Very insightful video
The Potawatomi were the last to leave the area. The Council of the Three Fires was a well established and respected Union of Tribes in the area long before Illinois was 'settled'. And reading through the comments I see a lot of idiots. Illinois was largely colonized by French Fur Trappers long before the English arrived. The Founder of Chicago Illinois was a Black French-Man. The descendants of the French are still living in the area, and the Tribes have ALWAYS been welcomed home by them. (Pow-wows, etc.)
Potawatomi is in Wisconsin
@jamesmachometa448 Not So...Rock Island Illinois was 1/2 Potawatomi...Peoria and Area were MOSTLY...There were a Lot of Them in Illinois, Mostly " Called" by Other Names....
@@beedeebee13YES, Most Recently the Sac and Fox 'Welcomed' Back to Rock Island for an Annual Pow Wow, Sadly Not Held for a Few Years...Inter-Tribal League of the Quad Cities in Active in Re Starting the Tradition...
So who and where are the tribes of indigenous people that were killed???
Awesome video. No nonsense well thought out
Not preachy but really makes me realize how badly USA treated them....5 stars
@3:20 this music is too enjoying to keep watching this video.

Lord Almighty, knock off that banjo
I believe it’s wrong and saying that the battle of little bighorn was the last Indian conflict. It was later that Geronimo led the Apaches against the US government. It may have been other Indian conflicts following that as well.
**( NEZ PERCE )**
Yes, Chief Joseph's Nez Perce had yet to be chased half way across the northern states by the US military that was sent to force his tribe onto a reserve. If any of the so-called Indian wars truly showed the brutality of the US Army it was that one. Yes, the Nez Perce lost their homeland, but not their honor.
**{ "TRAIL OF TEARS" ! }** 💧
Yes, were are they buried?
STOP the background music...it's ridiculous, period-specific or not,, your entire narration is completely drowned-out by the background...frustrating and aggravating...also,, some vocal inflection "might" help keep your audience engaged... I apologize I can not comment on your content bc you could not focus on what you were saying with the goofball music...🤷🏻♂️have you considered a production or broadcasting college course?
Good research on the brutal treatment of Native Americans by ignorant government leaders...like...A Jackson, A Lincoln, U Grant.
Cherokee dog warriors huh? Thats why they were masacred. its farther away than.most think, its hours from Denver by car in the South Eastern part of the state. So the army just walked everywhere? The Proud Union soldier in front of the Capiol was ripped down a year ago by angry Natives. And the Kit Carson fountain was taken down before they would have destroyed that. So its too bad both ways, kinda a clash of culture. I dont think its right because they are such a small group for them to influence our statues. Natives are like 3 percent of the population, so we all dont get our statues. Cant have a statue depicting an 1860 s Union Soldier guarding the capitol.
Sad
Just.like they did us
