Mysterious Woman Found Alone on an Island
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2019
- In 1853, a mysterious native American woman was found on an island at the coast of California. What makes it strange is that she was all alone by herself, and even today nobody knows how she ended up there or whats her true name is, she is now just referred to "Juana Maria".

Imagine surviving completely on your own for all those years, a testament to true grit. Then, out of loneliness for human contact, you agree to leave your humble home for another isle... only to be killed by disease that your body cannot handle... in just over a month. How sad.
😔
Thats a really good summary of the clip
Spain and the rest of Europe Mande the whole world sick
I thinking she left with the sailors with the thoughts of companionship and an easier life / existence, better food etc. Shame it was the companionship and the food they shared that ultimately ended her life.
I like to think that in the short time she spent with other people, she was immensely happy.
Damn... she died in company but survived alone
Yeah
They raped and killed her
She said her son was still on the island. Who got her pregnant?
@@phillipdaugherty1486 you did not listen..... reveiw the vid....
4ourfutureinfinity obviously....
She wasn’t a wild woman. She wasn’t discovered. She wasn’t lost. She was only living in her world and you came to her with your complicated world.
This is real story for all new land occupied by so called explorer
Well said.
A world that killed her... Like millions of First Nations throughout the Americas.
You're right. This is all illusion
True.
She shows them hospitality by cooking them a meal, they call her The Wild Woman
Then they screwed her life up.
Did you just insult "wild people" (which is the literal meaning of the French-derived term "savage", by the way) by implying that such people lacked the custom of hospitality?
She was a savage (existing entirely outside of civilization -- that's what it means) who was hospitable to a group of people who she understood could easily overpower her. Where's the incongruity of identifying her as a wild woman?
When they came, I knew it would end badly for her.

How can somebody be "the first to discover" an island with people already living there?
First discovered by someone in the modern world. the people living there living in the "olden days/world"

One tough lady ! How sad that she was doing just fine until she was 'rescued'.
One of "God"s little pranks huh?
Pamela Morris “willingly” lol seems like you skipped the first part of the video
Who knows, she could have willingly gone with them out of sheer loneliness. It sad that she died shortly after.
I'm not sure she was fine. But I agree.
@Harry Canary if she was "doing just fine" why did she so quickly and willingly leave with the sailors?
Island of the Blue Dolphins was one of my favorite books growing up! I do wish we knew more about the real version of her, but we can say with confidence that she was incredibly strong and inspiring to have survived nearly 2 decades on her own. And yet, she was so open and welcoming to the strangers, despite the horrific history of her people on the island being massacred.
Me Too!!!
Mine too, the movie hasn't been remade, so sad
One of my fav books as well!!
THE BLUE LAGOON.
EXCEPT THEY WEREN'T RELATED?
7 weeks????

Every time explorers arrived at any island the locals always got screwed. Always.
SURE HOW RUDE Every time explorers arrived at any island the locals always got screwed. Always.
You're not under the illusion that indigenous people didn't also take over land and kill people, are you?
Yeah tottally, plus they prob catch illnesses n germs from the explorers
Yep, the British did it, the Japanese did it, the Spaniards did it, The Dutch, Greek, Roman, Celt, Norwegian also did it. When African tribes 1st crossed the med sea they did it too. The stronger of the 2 meeting groups prevails, just plain human nature. South American cannibal tribes and some African tribes still do this to this day, though usually it's not island hopping anymore but the treatment is the same.
@@animalyze7120 yep. it is amazing to watch though when thel tribes first meet explorers n white man.
She was neither lost nor wild

The island was "first-sighted" after it had been inhabited for 8000 years.
As always, it’s not really discovered to most westerners unless it’s done so by Europeans. Very weird and narcissistic.

Who said those natives needed to be evacuated in the first place. That was their home
Their community had been broken down by the previous raids and it may have been difficult to survive without the possibly knowledgeable people they may have lost

China is not a synonym for Chinese. People die, not countries.
I hope aliens di this to us so we as a species realize what we've done to each other. Then all the sudden people actually would give a fuck
Why would they need to be evacuated from an island they thrived on for generations?
>"Why would they need to be evacuated from an island they thrived on for generations?"
That's just it; they weren't thriving. Their numbers had declined (peak of around 300 natives on the island down to maybe 30 or so) even before the Russian massacre, and there were maybe 8 left when they were taken off the island in 1835. There was at least one adult male (and possibly one younger male), a couple of adult females, and some children. The oldest male was given the name Black Hawk after the rescue. Some versions say that the Lone Woman had a husband that was on the rescue ship in 1835; other stories do not indicate that the Lone Woman had a mate.
The video does a poor job of telling the story. If you have the opportunity you should visit the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History to learn a lot more, and it will be based on research. This video is not. The National Park Service also has good information about her story.
@Jamal Al-Uqdah jealous.
@Jan Bily Why do ppl feel that the best counter against racism is racism? Dont you ever get tired of the bs?
Great question. It's difficult getting into the head of a Spanish religious communities during the 1700s. They weren't as smart as we are.
@@G_CsTheir decreasing numbers were probably because they were attacked. They had an whole island to themselves, probably a variety of small animals, limitless fish and warm enough to grow wild berries, etc. Even the woman on her own figured out how to feed herself plenty. I find it doubtful that they would have been starving?
She was Ataxxum, Payuum Kawichum. Today known as Luiseno. We know this because words she spoke which were phonetically written down by Spanish Priests, are Luiseno words. The Luiseno are still here.
Can you tell us more about her?
Yup! More details?
really i didnt know that. Where are they? Santa Barbara County or San Luis Obispo Co,?
Island of the Blue Dolphins was one of my favorite elementary school books.
YES IK MY teacher cried when rontu died

That, and The Witch of Blackbird Pond...my two favorite books growing up.
Same here

Lived alone for years with no problem. "Welcome to civilization, we will save you!" oh, she died...from civilization.
It was religious zealots- father whats-his-name who is the one responsible, I also don't buy the claim that she went willingly on his ship leaving everything behind, more likely she was forced or tricked, or both so father whats-his-name could score another "notch" on his bed post marking people he "saved" by force conversion.
@Martin G Definitely a SJW. Many are on this thread bemoaning the fact that they rescued her and she wanted to go with them.
@Martin G very true.
Kinda like "Hello, we're from the Government and we're here to help you".
@@HobbyOrganist Wow, quite a story teller aren't you?.
I read this book in school as a child. Flash forward into my twenties, and I start working on this island. The first day I was there I was walking from my room to the island store and noticed a bench with the words, Island of The Blue Dolphins engraved in it. I asked the cashier about it and he told this was that island! I never would’ve imagined visiting this island let alone living there for 5 years. Such a magical place.
Would love to hear more about your experience on the island 🏝.
Amazing! You have a tribe that lived on an island, undisturbed for 8 000 years, then the Europeans appear to "rescue" them and they all disappear!
Finally someone gets it !
Yeah, I think the intelligent natives understood they would need to offer one of their people to let the idiots think there was only one left.
Disappeared because of death from infectious diseases brought to the New World.
Its crazy
HMMM
The “Nicoleño”. They lived there for 8k years and had no idea that was their real name!
That was the FIRST thing I said.
But why should they? They had no need of a named identity living in isolation. So-called civilisation should keep its nose out out more often. Ultimately not minding one's own business usually turns out badly, for example Bush, Blair and Iraq, and look where that's got us!

Rest in peace dear lady.....your story lives on as does the mystery
Interesting. She was an amazing woman to have found ways to survive alone for so many years.
She kept the faith
Well she was born and raised in a primitive tribe on the island so she presumably had a lot of background knowledge about how to survive on that island
Thumbsdown
@@gregorsamsa1364 You could hardly call the Chumash or possibly Tongva tribes in the region primitive. They had very sophisticated cultures with great knowledge of the sea, canoe building and food resources from both the terrestrial and sea areas.
She lived on that island alone & survived for so many years. Then died a few months after being “saved” from that island.
It says she willfully wanted to go with them. Still sad but she was probably tired of being alone.
Why did they felt the need to relocate everyone in first place??
Jojo oli - The Spanish felt the natives were basically wild people w/their souls at risk. So they relocated them to missions so they could be turned into good little civilized Catholics.
Europeans use of 'saved' and 'discovered' is white ethnocentrism in action.
@@bulletsfordinner8307 probably because there were only a few left and would be vulnerable to future raids by the Russians looking for furs
And she would have lived to a ripe old age had she been left alone 😔

...Be sure to educate the natives .
Considering they haven't been apart of any conquering for hundreds of years, I'm sure the Spaniards won't know what you're on about.
Had no idea that this story and that book were connected. The book is one that my mom and I both enjoyed. The story of Juana Maria has also now fascinated me for a while now.
imagine your family lives happily for centuries until a burgler comes and you are forever known by the burglers name.
History & Maps exists as per White peoples definition. Indigenous tribes & cultures have been literally wiped out by them integrating the natives into their religion. Even today in remote Polynesian Islands its easy to find a Misionary, a Chapel & natives named Mary n John

The photo is not of the Lone Woman. The photo has been documented as a photo of a Tongva woman, taken by Santa Barbara Mission photographers Edwin J. Hayward and Henry W. Muzzall. The photograph was found alongside a picture of Maria Sinforosa Ramona Sanchez Nidever (1812-1892), George Nidever's wife, with whom Juana Maria had lived after arriving on the mainland. There is no clear reason to believe the photo is of the woman in question. Most researchers do not believe this is a photo of the "Lost Woman." The photo is of a woman in her late 20s. The Lone Woman was much older (between 45 and 55). The photo shown here is now in the Southwest Museum of the American Indian. I do agree the photo is of a beautiful woman.

She “voluntarily” came OR was she KIDNAPPED 🤔
Who no's ?
More than likely taken against her will if she seemed happy there I'm pretty sure that she would've kicked off after all they said she was happy and eating well. But i suppose there's a small possibility that left with them willingly but don't think i would've
If it was the whites she was definitely kidnapped whites love to fucking kidnap.
MR E.N.Y BaGGz more than likely kidnapped like they did Pocahontas

So sad to know that European businessmen at that time burned and killed the entire tribe just because of trade dispute.

@Azarello Azarello. Glad I found you. You owe me money. Now what is your address.....
Asim Ali : it said it was Russian fur traders in 1811 when they got mad at the natives over trade disputes they attacked and murdered almost the whole tribe there.
European people (among others) have actively been committing genocide for hundreds of years. It's still happening now. Things are a bit better, but in some ways, not really.
Island of the blue dolphin by Scott O'dell was my very favorite book as a kid. Gave a copy to my niece this year for her bday. It tells this story beautifully! I reccomend to anyone to read it! It is a beautiful and sensitive recount of this event.

Maybe we need to leave you alone. No more services or conveniences should be given to you from others.

Ok .... so youre saying they turned that into a military base?????
National Park Service?
There are many possible reasons on why the tribe could not understand her. I think it is possible that she was not actually a blood member of that tribe. She could have either ended up on the island due to a shipwreck. There is also the possibility that she was of that tribe but not an actual member because she was a captive or brought over from another tribe to marry into it
I was thinking the same thing.
considering the link the island has to Russian traders one could assume she came from Siberia or Alaska on a Russian ship and probably escaped to the island.
@timothy labeaux thanks for your positive input!!!
So the possibilities are endless hey?? Don't think they are though, unless you consider possibilities like she was grown on a test tube with her DNA mixed with some kind of fauna and she sprouted/hatched/whatever shortly before she was found.....so perhaps if you consider that then the possibilities truly are endless.

Ganieda Morgan Good observation! Other people on here just run their mouths with stupid comments.
Love the way the narrator murdered the word ecclesiastical. Made my day
Did the same with Santa Barbara as well.
He also said "Ceremony" when the narrative showed "cemetary"
Yes, he may just be young
I sometimes wonder if these people claiming other people's discoveries are human because they are more wild then those people they find in islands and I don't believe she agreed to leave they could have forced her to leave with them
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
There's a book about it good book called island of the blue dolphins I was born in Santa Barbara I have heard many tales about it from my grandpa we are chumash natives
I wish there was an "strickly enforced law" to STOP & PROTECT undiscovered territories & civilizations. Those people DON'T deserve to DIE from outside interference into their villages.
>"I wish there was an "strickly enforced law" to STOP & PROTECT undiscovered territories & civilizations. Those people DON'T deserve to DIE from outside interference into their villages."
This was not an undiscovered territory or civilization. After the Russian massacre, their numbers had dwindled to less than 7 left. What do you think would have happened if they left them there? They would eventually die off completely. It is called a Humanitarian effort to offer these people an alternative. They gladly took it. The Lone Woman was accidentally left behind. She knew that she would die alone to be eaten by scavengers. When offered the chance to leave, and the prospect of getting to see her fellow islanders again, she also gladly took it. Unfortunately, her fellow islanders were not in Santa Barbara at the time (one young man that was only 2 when he left in 1835 was still alive and living in Los Angeles at the time, but he did not speak to her).
No one expected her to get sick. The other islanders had not suffered the same fate, so it was an oddity and tragedy that she came down with dysentery, which was fairly common at the time.
People that have researched the case in great detail have determined that leaving her people or her there would be far from a humanitarian effort. It is no different than what we do today when we offer help to places like Haiti and Puerto Rico. Of course, we could just leave them alone for fear of causing them to die from outside interference.
My daughter read me this story in the fourth grade. It was called island of the blue dolphins or something like that. Good story.
Min'the Patriot wow are you frfr
at 3:44 George Nidever looks so creepy. I'd hate to think she saw him first.
man's greatest fear - dying alone..
at least she ddnt...
She killed Wales all by herself. She had a wale house and was eating blubber. That was a strong women.
Washed up onshore most likely.
Whale probably washed up on shore..who knows.
I don't think she actually killed them herself. She likely found them washed up on the beach.
@John Smith It's a lot of dangerous work. You can harpoon them from your canoe, but you have to avoid being over-turned by their large tail. Then you have to drag them to shore. The Eskimos did it routinely, but they had a lot of team work.
>"She killed Wales all by herself. She had a wale house and was eating blubber. That was a strong women"
Nowhere does the video (or any other research on her) say that she killed whales (or even Wales). The video narrator first states they found "seal blubber" but when they find her, he states she was "scraping the whale meat apart." Just because she was in a windbreak made partly from a whale carcass does not mean she killed it. The remains of beached whales would provide good materials to fabricate a strong windbreak enclosure.
Omg I read Island of the Blue Dolphin in 6th grade. I think about it from time to time
Me too. I loved it so much and still think about it form time to time and now I know the real story behind it.
Or maybe she was put there for punishment reasons or maybe disease reasons from her tribe.
She must of been their and left her. Throughout the years being alone anything can happen. Rest her soul.
I love Island of the blue dolphin even as a adult. Read it a few times.
Wow I was born and raised in California, but in all my 70 years never heard this story. Fascinating. 🌹
u r so lucky to be raised in california i never even got a visa ...
This video was fascinating please keep up the work !!
I enjoyed this very much! Thank you! 👍🏻
Hiiiiii 😀 I love every video. Ty!
One of my favourite books!
Well done! Thank You for this work.
How can you discover something already there and change the name smh
The same way a new planet gets "discovered", dummy.
@Huh? good point.
New planet! I don't think so .

@@kasheem1747 Of course new planets have been discovered! You're idiot!
I remember seeing this movie ( a Disney film I think ) when I was a child. I had almost forgotten about it until seeing this. Thanks so much!
You can't get some privacy any where!
Doesn't seem so! Lol
Yes, u right
Exactly, she seemed happy enough, until they came.
Holy crap! I remember this story as a kid (40+ years ago) I remember seeing a movie about it...or a cartoon....but never could remember the name of it. It always intrigued me
She looked so young and pretty. So sad. RIP
I agree, Also, from her photo, you can see that she looked so much, much younger still than the age they gave her. She must have been able to take better care of herself without any help than they thought. The only reason I can see for her accepting the invitation to go with them must have been loneliness. It is sad that even though she was so well-liked by others that unfortunately she was also exposed to their diseases and died soon after.
My mother had me read this. I have had both my daughters read it as well. I hope someday I will have a granddaughter to read it.
What's the name of the book , please?.
