    When my great x2 grandpa came from Ireland in 1832 to live in Ontario,his first wife was Ogibiway,they had a son who didn’t survive,nor did she. Later he remarried another woman who was what is called Metis( I don’t know her native heritage) and my great grandpa was born. I’m looking into my family history,and finding more and more native heritage than I ever believed before,and I’m embracing it,though I’m white as white can be. It’s important to know family history,and understand the past. Personally,I embrace it.

      If you're learning about natives from natives, you're probably not getting the full story of history. At least they pepper in some experts dropping truths like the fact these were people of the time which people don't understand these days. It was a time where many saw natives as savages deserving of only destruction and the natives didn't do much to ease that image. There were some who also saw them as intellectual equals, completely able to become molded into society as one of their own. They were respected as smart and capable in a way that slaves from Africa were not treated as well going well into a century after the civil war.

    Dude I love this. My dad was signed to the Rosebud Reservation before he passed. My whole dads side is Lakota Secangu. My great grandma went to the Haskell School for re-education. Lakota are hardcore, very war like tribe. Not represented well in Dances with Wolves considering throughout history it was the Lakota that was raiding and displacing other tribes like the Pawnee and the Ute. Still a good movie and represented the problems of western expansion well otherwise. So cool to have a documentary about my people. I don’t know the language but my grandma recently gave me a book on lakota language and translation from the fam. The prominent figures, or uncles of mine were Chief Hollow Hornbear, Ironshell, American Horse, Roan Horse, Goes to War.

    Interesting how the Mandan were left out, they were the patch between the Dakota, Lakota and Iron Confederacy. The Mandan fought some battles with the Iron Confederacy regarding trade and horse supply I believe. The Mandan enjoyed great autonomy due to their territory along the Missouri being such an important trade hub. The surrounding tribes depended the Mandan to everything from produce, horses, and the prized knife river flint. Evidence of artifacts traded from the Mandan have been found all across North America. Unfortunately, the Mandan were nearly all eradicated by smallpox.

    Well done here. I suggest you do a video on Hawaii, how the Hawaiian sovereign nation, it's royal family , imprisoned under house arrest, and how wealthy landowners made the one acre subsistence farmers unable to even vote in their own nation. Annexation, then statehood, against the will of the people. Hawaiian lands are still held in trust in banks earning wealthy individuals interest each month. This land was to be used for Native Hawaiians, yet most , today, live in poverty, and homelessness, all treaties betrayed, much like the Native Americans. Native Hawaiians also had a Hawaiian Bible, long before any missionaries came, bought huge plantations, and overran a sovereign nation which is now dwindling into nothing at all. This is well overlooked by most American history, and as a Native Hawaiian, I would love to see some more exposure of the facts in these matters to modern day Americans who are very unaware of this aspect of history.

    As a kid I always fantasied about natives establishing a nation or at least real alliance where they band together. In the battle of tours against the moors, in Poland against the mongols, and in the Balkans and Mediterranean at the battle of Lepanto against the ottomans Europe banned together. Oh and for over 200 years for the crusades.
    Tecumseh is a hero of mine. He was even a legend in his own time. Remember Union general William Tecumseh Sherman marching through the south burning along the way 50 years after Tecumseh's death. It'd be like an American general leading the Gulf war being named Rommel after German general Erwin Rommel.
    If only Tecumseh had been born 100 years early and united tribes from the great lakes to Florida and from the Appalachians over the Mississippi. Tecumsehs brother was an idiot but the 2 of them made a potent combo.
    The woodland tribes and the territory was the only real chance natives had. The territory and value of resources. And the way the French set up trading post and not actual colonies was a united American Indians best chance in the early 1700s. English and Americans wanted land. Spanish and Portuguese wanted to spread religion and get gold. The french and dutch wanted monopolies and natives to do the trapping and hunting to bring them the fur. Furs that the woodlands were full of. A real Indian nation would have been interesting and the world a very different place

Roman Nose said , I will kill him in front of his Soldiers, then they will have something to fight about. Roman Nose declined to be a Chief,, he said ,to much talking, not enough Fighting,,he declined the Dog Soldiers,,to many rules he said,,, He just liked to Fight for his way of life and People. .

      Babies were taken away from their mothers and sent to Scotland to save them from becoming savages. There are now special DNA tests being done in the 21st Century to find descendants in Scotland. And currently mass graves of children are being found next to Catholic schools, right now!
      Catholics were responsible for Natives losing their languages. They treated the children as slaves and most were dead by 12. Sadly, I was raised a Catholic in their school and taught that they were 'just trying to help'...some priests have been made saints.

Perhaps some of those so called orphans ended up working in them. I was a Catholic , but definately not now. They still make excuses up for the perversion and cruelty. No one should loose a language , it's a loss of identity. Josh I am so sorry that you had suffered in those "death camps" just like the Nazis had . I hope that things are better for you now. For many it is not. And many of the priests , nuns and brothers are now saints that's not what I would call them . I would call them sadistic , racists .

    It's my understanding that, at least some of the Lakota lived in Northern Wisconsin and Michigan. They were defeated in 1640's by the current residents, the Ojibwa Native Americans. That meant they had to transition from a woodland, hunter/gatherer, society to a Great Plains one.

      The Lakota have always been a nomadic plains tribe. Hence our name within the Seven Council Fires…Tetonwan - “prairie dwellers”. You’re mistaking the Lakota for our Dakota relatives who were still fighting the Ojibway long after the Lakota entered the Black Hills.

Chief gall will become the only Lakota sioux Indian leader to fight at both sides of the battle fields. The Reno battle - retreat and last stand Hill were Custer's entire command will fall to their deaths. By the winter of 1881 chief gall will be forced to surrender to the battle of the popular river January 2, 1881 against the American soldiers powerful weapons. The American commander said chief gall looked like a old Roman General when he handed his weapon to the American soldiers. The us military forces made the poor Lakota sioux people walk in freezing temperatures over twenty minutes to fort Burford ND were chief gall became prisoner of war with his people.
