Your dam right its netflix for history with all the inaccuracys & foolishness that go along with Fast food.
You are completely wrong on this, they lived in Tipis before Europeans arrived
@@thcreedon Bro I am Amarukhan Indian, Aparently your a europeon & you know more about our people than me? No we lived in city's & farms & some tribes left the city's later on because of certain Sin or wickedness that would happen in the citys. We only lived in tents for the most part when we traveled & for the rights. Even the so called T-Pees your talking about where not just a tent but huts, just as they are today but they were better.
Europeons moved into to some of those citys when they came after taking some of our people out. Like Los Angeles for instance. & NYC was also pre-existant. Go read your science & you'll find that most things originate from here. From animals, to water, to some of the oldest land. Most of which has been documented since the 1400's.
SO let me help your mind since you believe were are nothing but savages. Today over 80% of the world is food wise sustained on foods that are Solely Indiginous to our tribes & this land. So tell me how we had everything needed to build empires, that currently sustains the worlds empires But we lived in tents... Thats just Propaganda at its finest. Casava (tapioka), Tomatoes, Potatoes, Corn, & i can go on & on all that came from our peoples & our ways. Which is why the progress from the western world exploded after they waged chemical & bio warefare on our peoples. The so called African Cheetah was brought from here, & later when they started dieing out in africa they inbred the couple that survived changing the species a bit to what they are today. Oh yeah the oldest most advanced citys in the world gues where your science says they were? Here. You don't supply the entire world with what they need to exist from simple tents anyone who believes that is a fool. AYo Hawwah Great Spirit Bless.
@@thcreedon Oh yeah no lake existed here, But if you want you can go swimming in any of those lakes, & find the citys that they flooded with our people that also were murdered still under there today.
@KingKatura Why are you talking about lakes? I am 20 percent Native American and agree their were lakes, I'm saying what Native Americans lives in before
I'm definitely falling asleep to this 700 times
I feel called out 😭
I was looking for sleep sound and this appear
Yesssssss hell yes!!
Scoot over bro I'm trynna lay down too
This is wild how many other people fall asleep to these videos I thought I was the only one. I see these types of comments everywhere
It's nice that such an in-depth documentary is available to us for free.
Free? Ain't no such thing.

I found my people!💗
As long as you keep watching the same video you will eventually remember it.
Yes you can study in your sleep 😎 if you hear it 1000 times.
I did this while listening to the Old Testament and which was a brutal listen but it was also wonderful lesson to remember
I love history and I love getting good sleep. This channel’s videos have been my lullabies recently.
I love that they have people from each area talking about their own culture. It brings such a rich tapestry of life from which to learn and understand. Also this show includes way more than just the Americas. We are a fascinating species.
There were already people here in named 'Americas'. Columbus a fake. Did not discover america. Brought death and misery to original native people. Give back their lands way before treaties were invented for native people
Yes, we are, but personally, I think we are much like a virus we consume everything around us with no thought to what it will do to us or the earth. It is exactly what a virus does! We are a virus and it won't end well me thinks!
Yea but is it real?
Did they mention “empire”.. which they conquered and colonized each other.
@@darrellpeterson7776good question.
Ancient civilizations have had their histories erased and rewritten too many times to count.
Who knows what’s true anymore.
I don’t even fully trust the story of the USA’s birth, to be honest.
I wish I had some kind of time machine so that I could observe ancient people.

I know of a Powatan village built and lived in to this day. I have an amazing friend named Faces. He is a living history historian. This culture can still be observed and learned from.
No, you don't. We are too soft. Life was brutal back then.

Exploring the medieval history of the Americas offers viewers a unique cultural enrichment opportunity. Understanding the origins and achievements of indigenous societies can foster greater respect and recognition of their descendants who are still an integral part of the American fabric today.
For myself this documentary is a most worthwhile 3 hours anyone with interest in indigenous humanities could spend expanding their minds, knowledge & cultural horizons on CZcams. An absolute visual masterpiece depicting the amazing variety of life ways in the Americas, with such descriptive dialogue and spirituality so eloquently delivered by descendants of pre -contact peoples showing the connectivity that existed early on throughout both our hemispheres. Giving long overdue credit & acknowledgment for the countless contributions the indigenous peoples have retained & given humankind gives me much hope and inspiration. Keep up the fine work in creating such great documentaries to help educate people & especially our children.
What is this diarrhea
I agree, wholeheartedly…This documentary was beautifully done and provided a wealth of knowledge about our Indigenous ancestors and their way of life…Definitely three hours of my time well spent.
It's a decent synopsis of facts of history typically ignored or deliberately avoided. It illustrates how immense the human history in the Americas really is and that these three hours could easily be 300.
TRUTH BE TOLD.
Bull
Excellent! Very valuable history to preserve. I am sad that many native americans are living so bad today but a little of their ancient culture lives in those who watch these videos and study their history.
Peacemaker’s lesson is much needed in today’s World 🙏🏻

This was soooo good!! It took me a few days to watch it completely but i learned a few new things! I am caribbean, and i really wish i could find more documentaries of our natives before that man found our islands. esp from countries outside of pr and dr because there were many natives spread out and were other islands as well. In my parents country we have a statue of anacaona in one of the cities.
Dna family trees online
This is a wonderful resource to connect us with our ancestors that migrated to the islands and reconnect with parts of our culture supressed by colonization
Hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen. It is an absolute treat to see the effort that went into this.
This video is amazing. An absolute wealth of information and the dramatisations are quite immersive and cinematic, indeed. A great resource for an historical timeline I've been obsessively creating since last year.
@rickanglincan you explain which part is bs? Genuinely curious
@@jacksonhahnit’s oral history. In other words it’s all made up and unverifiable.
I could listen to native people tell their stories and legends all day, they're so interesting.

Yes, like how native tribes would slaughter, rape, torture, scalp, murder other native tribes over land and territory. So interesting.

Such a great video! It was not only visually appealing but also very insightful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Love the Oral History being passed to intertwine w/ Historical Facts. Oral History on my Native Culture by Ma Dearest b. 1891-2000 who lived 29 years of my life definitely impacted greatly myself in traditions and wisdom pssed on as Great-Granddaughter my native named FIERY EARTHCHILD and Family as a whole. When Covid came, we had her booklet of remedies, recipes, etc . Self Taught Botanist, Medicine Woman Of Wisdom, Hunter and Gatherer etc. Enjoyed watching this documentary, very well done and enjoyed reading many comments. Many families I know, like us were able to hold on to items museums could not showcase behind glass they refuse to trade. Forward this video to others to enjoy. Proud Choctaw Blackfoot Cherokee Descendant.
That's very cool 💜
One of the most comprehensive and engaging histories of the americas. More than worth the 3 hours. Brilliant
Can you answer in more detail?
it contains too many mistruths and is not what an historian would call history, I advise you look from many sources and find out for yourself. This is the reason it is getting over 34% dislikes
I’m a member of the Choctaw tribe , I don’t live near the reservation and I never learned too much about it it was always just something cool about myself but this has made me definitely want to find out more about the community 🥰
I don't think this documentaries are necessarily telling thr truth, they also lied about the Aztecs and called them cannibals and uncivilized in order to justify their killings and genocide .. don't believe everything the white men says about our people ... remember they would forced our ancestors to not speak their dialect ...
I'm not a member of any tribe (nation) but virtually every person of any color whose family history here dates back centuries has some Choctaw or Cherokee blood in their lineage. I have both.
Good for you. We all need to know where we come from. Good luck on your quest for knowledge! 😊
Before 1491 : no cats (toxoplasmosis) , no rats , no swine , no cultured disease , no alcohol, no white sugar ,,,
@@mnpd3 but do you practice the culture and have tie to the community? Having Indian blood doesn’t make you a part of the tribe.
This is a good refresher coarse for those of us who participated in school in the 70s and early 80s . This was taught in world history and there were many programs on PBS TV channels , considering there were at most 5 or 7 channels to choose from back theni in Cleveland Ohio. I remember my oldest brother in the 9th grade and my dad helping him build a Inca city model on the dining room table for a class project , they my brother spent weeks on it. My dad made him do the work he just guided him on the layout and accuracy of the buildings.
I grew up in Cincinnati, OH. I attended Catholic schools in the 70's and never once was the native Americans mentioned in a positive light. I have learned of the years the truth. I appreciate that more and more because of the internet and unbiased researchers the truth is being told .
And then the youth went down hill from there.... now all they want to teach in school is how to rebel and destroy. This information will soon all be lost im afraid....
wow I think if I hadn't gone to school in Oregon, your brother and I shared the same subject and project! with the exception that my future brother-in-law was also my bully back then and destroyed it before school started. So...F
Beautiful Videos such as this should be mandates in every schools curriculum!
So proud of the indigenous who are involved with learning about their ancestors and the traditional ways. The Americans had every chance to learn how to care for America and they have blown that opportunity away. To the indigenous.... your ancestors were very wise. There is no learning that can possibly be better than true wisdom.
Not all people of any nation are wise.
Some people need wisdom to thump them over the head.
In Latin America is even worse
They don't need your little pat on the head.
That's what national forests and other designated areas were for, mostly by Republicans. Modern day efforts involve climate change initiatives around the country, mostly by Democrats. There's been effort. Modern medicine can replace most, but not all, ancient methods from any culture. The New Agers and Neo-pagans have tried to spark interest in a variety of ancient beliefs, even if they've been mixed into a hodge podge by many.
If you want to make changes and teach a set of traditions, then you need to make noise. A variety of social media platforms now exist to reach others, and getting the attention of nontribal Americans helps (with funding especially). It's difficult because young people are generally not interested in any tradition. The average adult is busy making a living, so the responsibility sometimes falls on the elderly or the middle aged. It's difficult.
The narrators voice is so soothing. It’s like I’m listening to a bedtime story.
Sometimes I wonder if it's disrespectful to fall asleep to things like this but it really is soothing lol
I appreciate hearing from experts with ethnic connection to the peoples discussed in the documentary.
Chief Zowalle Boles, Texas Cherokee had 0 drops of American blood, he was 100% Scottish. Ethnic is just a way of classifying humans. Take your politics home.
Haha too many 5$ Indians
My psych teacher told me to go hang out with the natives on the res. I never g9t the chance, but 8 did visit Jamestown a few years back.
The stories handed from father to son don't match the history books where white peoples stole. They gave. These are the descendents of Pocohontas' clan. They were actually ar war with the Iroquois when the boats showed up. They're still there.
@@gazinta Can you please elaborate on your comment? It's kind of nebulous. Are you saying that it's the white people who say that the indigenous were at peace with each other but that your elders are saying that the tribes were actually fighting against each other when the boars came? And who, exactly, is still at Jamestown? The descendants of Pocahontas's clan? I'm really confused by your comment and am sincerely just trying to understand what you mean by it. Thanks.
@@jonathanray7931 I went and "partied" while on vacation a number of years back. I met people that were living in the same spot for thousands of years. Grandfather's tell their grandsons stories that their grandfather's told them. And so on.
The story stays the same because the family is always present for these things.
There's no wiggle room to embellish the truth.
The textbooks we are taught by are third party accounts at best. We have an incentive to lie.
You want me to elaborate?
If you're not going to the source of information, you're at best guessing.
But it's easier than learning the truth.
Language carries the essence of cultural beliefs and identity. It's SO important to preserve it, not just for the people whose tradition it is, but for EVERYONE. My heart goes out to people who are doing this important work. What a great series of videos this is! Thank you!
If it’s one thing I love about the internet is the instant access to FREE In depth information about anything .
What a powerful message! I've been saying a lot of what you were lately. I've always believed that we are all a part of one and that we are all connected to each other. I really liked the part about learning to listen to our own inner thoughts and prayers. I do feel that we all have the answers to our problems if we can only learn to listen to the good within ourselves and learn how to reject the negative thoughts.
It's very good on my part to know the history of AMERICA,
My American dream.
I always wondered where these negative thoughts come from
😐 *Black Ppl alone, are indigenous to this entire planet‼️ We alone, are 💯% Natural ‼️We alone, share dna with the cosmos & 🌞‼️You Neanderthals, ARE NOT US‼️ YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO, YOUR ENTIRE LIFE‼️You have no clue, to what's taking place on "our" planet‼️White men, tell you you're experiencing Climate Change 🤦🏽♀️ You're facing your Dark Ages again ‼️This time, we Black folk, WILL NOT SAVE YOU‼️Just like your rivers are drying up, "our" 🌞 is drying up the 73% water in your brains‼️This is, your End of being on "our" Planet‼️You evil creatures, never realized, your evil towards Black Ppl, was your Test‼️ Not 1 of you passed‼️ Be it white, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Italian, Mulatto Arab, German, etc ...

I feel that if we can believe that we all come from the same branch or connected like someond said here. Then we can go a step further and say we are all brothers and sistets according to Genisis (if we belive in the bible) I do. Anyway it states Adam and Eve were the first human. They then reproduce and then their children reproduce with eachother and voila here we are Brothers and sisters that cant get along. And its probably because we inherited Cain's sin.
The reason the Incas or Aztec were brutals is because they follow evil as their God. They worship evil. We all have collected experiences that our decedants they dont have to be decendants it just mankind.
Absolutely beautiful and wonderful video. I found it very emotional as a descendant of native America heritage and a someone deeply connected to our natural home. It's a nightmare taking place for far to long. There is no reversal of the destruction that's destroyed everything. People are asleep and dont see or understand the value of the natural world. I die inside everyday because of it.
This is fascinating. God made humans of all colors in one human race and we are all created in His Image. We are so greatly ascended from these early days, but there are evil Luciferins who want to destroy us. Pray those who love God, Our Creator stop the pedophilia, enslaving and cheating, corrupt behavior of the evil ones and bring them to Justice. Our Creator is LOVE and tells his followers do not allow evil. Lucifer says "Do though as thou will." Tempting but a lie for the weak minded.
You're right. It's nearly unbearable. Apologies for the other, absurd response to your comment (it actually explains in a way the ignorance and absence of empathy that contributed to and was employed to justify destruction on an unthinkable scale). But know that many understand on some level the utter richness and humanity that has been lost forever, and try to connect, feel and empathize. Humans now try to send rockets to Mars, failing to understand that ultimate meaning, spirituality and humanity was with us in the past. Maybe we can regain parts of it.
@@johnnysocko4302 I haven't finished the full video and am going to send it to a lady Indian friend. But did they mention the Minister that discovered the Canadian Government and Church (es) that illegally took the land that the Indians owned and sold the timber and other benefits and left the Indigenous peoples living in poverty? I'm trying to remember his name.
Were you referring to me about an absurd response?
I found that article about the theft of the riches.
@@bythepiece, you are spot on. We all have a common ancestor. To deny this is the reason how evil enters the scene, come together and know we are one people fighting the same fight.
I grew up in central Iowa. We had what was called a potluck. A spinoff from potlatch, idk. It was mainly associated with our church fellowship. We usually had one at least once a month. Each family, brought a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a dessert. Some of the richer folk would bring an added salad dish too. That's a lot of food, especially when the membership on Sunday was pushin' 300+. There were 8 of us kids. The Coster's beat all, in kids.(14? was it). The church provided the tea, coffee, sugar and creamer. We brought our own table setting. But if there were visitors, there was plates, silverware, cups and glasses in the church kitchen. Everybody got something to eat, and then some. Usually by the end of the day, 2-3p, folks started packing up their dishes and headed home. Farm community, many had chores to do, before turning around and coming back at 630p for Sunday night services too.
The kids played inside and outside. In the summertime, we'd conqueror the city parks and have our potlucks there too. Until they built a bigger kitchen and gym. That was nicer, and cooler in the summertime. The folks sat around and visited. Doing genealogy, and this was something that came with our ancestor pioneers. Most came from PA, MA, NY, VA, KY, OH, IN, IL, WI states.
And monthly potlucks was a common practice with them too.
This meal setting was also a common practice for weddings too. Saved gobs on money, but the bride's family provided the cake.
When I moved to Oklahoma. Potlucks at the church I went to, sucked. Okie's are stingy when it comes to feeding a crowd. Many show up with fork in hand, but no food! I tried and tried to get folks to bring the three dish meal so everybody could get something to eat. We were also feeding several young, bachelors that could eat a house empty. It was horrible. Loving people though.
Northern Iowa is the same. I'm from up by tripoli. I'm in Nebraska and the people here are cut throats rude, fake, and just the culture here sucks. I can't wait to move!!!!
The first recorded use of the word 'potluck' was in a stage play in England in 1592. It is highly unlikely that the English word derives from the native American word, they just sound similar and both refer to the preparation of food.
This is awesome!!! So much respect for our native brothers and sisters. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this video. It was well done and informative.
When I was younger I used to well, not resent living in the USA, but I was kind of jealous of the rest of the world for having the ancient history that we frankly didn't because we didn't come about till a few hundred years ago. However in the past few years I have been absolutely fascinated with America's real history, the history that we buried and try to make people believe they were just nomadic uncultured unintelligent unimportant Savages. Its truly amazing the history that this land really held prior to the Europeans Conquest. Anybody interested in this should certainly read this series 1491 1492 and 1493. Amazing books
Well sadly most of today’s history is BS with a different agenda. Todays WOKE history pushes “white man bad” agenda.
There’s ALWAYS an agenda and it’s NEVER truth!
Nobody tried to bury the history, or make people believe they were uncultured, unintelligent, etc.
You just made that up.
Yes they did! Or lets say the true History was never told in schools ,like how the Country was actually stolen from the Indigenous peoples ,or about how the white man used slaves to build this country, and How racism is the root of all evil, and still today is alive and thriving!

I was going to say how amazing it is how people long ago adapted to the land they lived in. and then he said it on the video . sadly in the western world most of that is lost. I think we have a habit of adapting our environment to suit us. rather than us adapting to our environment.
It’s better that way though. Adapting to the environment means a lot of death has to come to make this happen. When humans adapt their environment to them then far less people have to die.
Better to have a vaccine then wait for immunity, better to build shelter than wait to adapt to the climate, better to grow food than forage for it.
It's what is inevitable. As population grows, so does everything else, and eventually it woulda turned out the same.
Wow what a stunning production!! Thank you so much!!❤

The Australian aboriginals are one of the oldest peoples in the world. But up until the late 1700s they were still pretty much hunters and gatherers living in the Stone Age...
They would still be like that if it wasn't for European contact.
The best documentary I've seen about Indigenous Americans. Well done!
This documentary was very informative and I have always respected native Americans and felt saddened by the loss of their way of life to colonialism and nation building. Having just finished Ken Burn's documentary on Lewis and Clark I was taken aback at the fact that Sacajawea, a Lemhi Shoshone, had been captured and sold into slavery by the Hidatsa tribe, to another tribe. It sent me down a rabbit hole, researching slave history in the Americas before 1492. Slavery was not an uncommon practice and had been practiced for centuries before colonialism. This documentary skipped right over it. The omission of Indigenous slavery in this documentary is puzzling. What was life really like? I mean, really?
Shhh...you can't talk about that! You'll be labeled
Ken Burns is a leftist revisionist liar
Rewriting/ not telling the whole story of history to fit your narrative… shameful
Yeah , I'm sure they miss the mass human sacrificing, cannibalism, slavery, terrorism, and totalitarianism. What great cultures. Let's bring that stuff back.
@@dbldaddlife was brutal and unforgiving.
Really Nice Work!
So many of these chronicles are like fairytales. They portray a culture that never knew hunger or disease until the white man came. However, they are real people with real struggles and you've done a great job of portraying that.
That is not true. Studies that pre date colonisation show anaemia infectious diseases such as giardia, rabies, herpes,polio, hepatitis plus more were all present.
There were also nutritional deficiencies as well, worse for those that didn’t live on the mainland.
I found an obsidian arrowhead almost 6ft deep in East Kentucky digging a house foundation. I took it to the local small-town museum who I was close with anyways he told me back then many people think those are fake because they cannot comprehend the vast trading network, but it was starting to become more common knowledge. My father found another 3 miles away from mine the odd where incredible 2 super rare finds deep in the earth and so close together we always like to think it was the same guy who dropped it lost it. But the native artifacts in Kentucky ae vast I know tobacco fields where families have pulled out entire collections hundreds of arrowheads plowing every year. It blows my mind to think how many had to be alive to leave so much behind in such small areas that they did not even live full time in.
Figure most everything around was built in the last 300 years. Then think native Americans were here for 15,000 years and it puts it into perspective. It's mind boggling!
@@georgedavis6583 they were not materialistic and greedy. With all that building comes soo much turmoil disease and unhappiness
@@chiyenyumba7135 They were. Hence, why tribal warfare occurred. They just were not as advanced.
@@mcyg123 sorry l don't trust one sided history records....
Obsidian is found in areas with volcanic activity and would be traded in pieces large enough to chip artifacts out of. Was the point you found worked in a local recognizable shape or was it a style that was found in another area far away? The idea that people were not here before 15,000 has been disproved, and people are digging deeper and finding artifacts that just keep pushing that date further and further back into history. That is what is so fascinating, the unknown knowledge from prehistoric people that have never come to light before. Imagine what will be found off both coastlines that have been submerged ever since the huge glaciers melted away. So much knowledge to discover and share. Love this stuff!!
What a great documentary. This is one to watch over and over
WOWi loved the NAGPRA Repatriation part of this Video👍💯❤
That is so awesome! I loved to hear that PEOPLE and sacred artifacts in Museums and Universitieswere repatriated home!..ugh that made my heart warm!..
It's only righ and fair!....
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing amount of knowledge about indigenous people all over the world. All of the science, math, art, navigation, astronomy, and unity that they possessed so early on is mind boggling.
I love learning and watch so many documentaries, I have never seen anything like this so thoughtfully put together.
Thank you for educating me.
What was taken away from the indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States is an atrocity. It’s horrific.
I hope that as some of your lands are being returned to you, as some of the bones of and your ancestors, and precious relics have been returned, I pray that the rivers of salmon, and support for your schools to help teach your languages to your will come.
Love and prayers ❤️🙏
In the book Gulag Archipelago, I read about the ancestors who where forced to labor camps in Siberia between 1917-1959. These places did not bury the dead. These places used remains to mix in cement for progress of the Motherland. The millions who died should be remembered. All life is sacred.
The falling asleep to history videos I love, comments.. thought I was the only weirdo! 😆♥️
Evan Adams, I knew that was you within two sentences.
Fascinating voyage through Native American Culture - absolutely beautiful and important documentary-thank you so much!
I have a question for you and everyone on here? Who are the Native Americans? The ones that the US government conquered or all the Natives from the American continent? Exactly!!! Native Americans are everyone on the American continent.
Christopher Columbus nor The Vikings discovered nothing 🙄. There were thousands of people here already 😂.
Beautifully done, enjoyed every second of this video.❤

--zzzzzzzzz
Iroquois is a fabulous and beautiful language and culture. I am 53 and have been fascinated since I was a little boy. Thank you.
Yarrow is the master of organic sulfur. The roman legions used yarrow leaves to bind wounds ,because of its purification and healing properties.
Also known as Soldier’s Woundwort, Achillea millefolium has been used for thousands of years. It is an herb of the battlefield, an important herb for the soldier and the warrior, the healer and the medic.
Very Enlightening
In Brazil where I live in they practiced cannibalism and tribes fought against each other strongly. Their lifestyle was harsh, too much battles, there was plenty warfare cultures.
Curiously some preferred to be eaten by their foes than being buried and given to the worms. It was brave but for us it would be extremely frightening. The European forbid this kind of rituals anf brought a new conception with them. Make the natives hand over their old rituals was laborious.
Just found your channel. I love history. Thank you
Everyone needs to view this extremely well done video. Yes, history telling does often need repairing as certainly does the European colonial intrusion beginning in 1492. The Indigenous people living here in the United States cause far fewer problems than others who live here. They don't force their beliefs on us or blow our buildings up. I am not indigenous but my late wife was part Ute. We had a special room in our house dedicated to her American Indian ancestors. Let's hope America's new generation of people get the story right this time. But just to be safe you people keep telling it because it is YOUR story. Peace
I usually suggest people over 50 write down an Autobiography because your your family may have questions after you are gone. And they will see how we lived before the current day.
To say that the indigenous people were more "righteous" or less dangerous is racist in itself. Life was extremely difficult for everyone back then worldwide and lives were not viewed as precious as they are now. Terrible crimes were committed by people of all races, creeds , cultures etc.
@@smallgoon Read what I said smallgoon. Don't put words in my mouth I never said. Quote: "Indigenous people living here in the United States (TODAY!) cause far fewer problems than others who live here" (TODAY). They may cause themselves some harm on the reservations they were forced on in the past but today they give the rest of us little trouble (Fact). Righteous and dangerous came out of your mouth. What was done to the American Indians was beyond terrible. It was genocide.
The Native Am lived in the Bronze Age, and their society didn't evolve. When challenge came from outside, they were not capable to survive.
@@smallgoon I agree with You 100%. ,, We all love in a world left to us..
Such a comprehensive video. I learned so much!
Very interesting guest Mark I could see everything he talked about being ex Air Force and been to Alaska several times for the Salman fishing.
Great video Mark thanks again
For those questioning the lack of exploration of slavery back then, always remember every documentary, book and paper u watch or read on history chooses a specific angle to approach a topic. Due to that, sometimes not all topics are explored. It's very easy to verify this by googling any historical period and reading to see what happened during it. There will be differences in information given, how detailed, a topic covered in one article will be missing in the next or just given a nod to and vice versa. It is for this very reason that any history professor worth their salt will insist you research several sources on the same topic so you can obtain the full picture of what happened.
Such a wise view of history
When I tell folks about my family I will usually skip any darker aspects - just because this beautiful documentary skips all the endless war, mayhem and religious violence is understandable.
In the end, with no doubt, the humans are the same everywhere: very nice, very bad and all that lies between.
It's difficult for people to hear, but they need to know all aspects to get the best understanding of any history.
@@veronicamoody3981 agreed!
Wonderful compilation! Thank you!
Wow thank you for this information love it❗
Definitely a great and informative watch.
I the first few minutes of this “documentary” a statement is made that the North American indigenous people formed a democracy, making it one of the earliest democracies in the world…. To set the record straight, 1,500 years earlier, In the year 507 B.C., the Athenian leader Cleisthenes introduced a system of political reforms that he called demokratia, or “rule by the people” (from demos, “the people,” and kratos, or “power”). It was the first known democracy in the world.
"making it (one) of the earliest.....
making it very close to a correct statement I would say.
Well it did say" one of"
Greek History nerds are so annoying
Excellent Information and Great cinematography. I’m inspired to learn more about First Nation people. I will watch it again and second time take notes so I am better able to share what I’m learning.
what the hell are first nation people?
@@Followme556 Thats what they call them in the Woke part of Canada, I love how liberals decide what to call them, not by tribe. I would just call them by their given name, but i'm not a woke retard.
You can also share how native tribes would slaughter, rape, torture, scalp, murder other native tribes over land and territory. So inspirational.
This is great knowledge of History we never get to hear and see...History of Peoples around the world and how they evolved is fascinating!...Thank You!...
If anyone can "fall asleep" to this you must be living a unhealthy Sedentary life...
Great work. Makes me so proud to be Native American...
very interesting video
Indigenous Americans behaved exactly like everyone else in the days before Columbus. That means they were constantly on guard against hostile neighbors that wanted to take everything away using violence, while keeping an eye out for any weaker tribe they could conquer and take everything away. The Native American Sioux call The Black Hills their "sacred land." That was after the Sioux massacred the Pawnee and took it for themselves.
yep. It was just centuries of wanton slaughter before the settlers arrived. For some reason all the normies watched the movie Avatar and imagine otherwise ; P
*@maxbrazil3712..Apparently you have no idea. What you are talking about. The Pawnee tribe was from Oklahoma and Nebraska. Not Wyoming Black Hills where Lakota Dakota and Nakota Sioux tribe Nation resided. These 3 tribes were indigenous to Black Hills territory in Wyoming. So no Indigenous tribe acted like Whites and stole any territory. If it belonged to any Indigenous tribe within the territory. Just like the Sioux never stole any territory from Nebraska and Oklahoma from Pawnee. The conflicts were over gaming rights for trade. Nothing else. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. The concept of demarcation lines was a European concept. Not any Indigenous concept. Indigenous tribes would allow Foreigners entrance through territory with trading. Unless the Foreign tribe violated indigenous laws.. Indigenous philosophy did not condon land ownership before 1472*
You sound like a YT colonizer
This is an excellent documentary.
The myth of the "noble savage" dispelled in the first couple minutes. Nice!
This is an introductory level video but links to further deepen one’s knowledge or to contribute to these communities is missing from the description or a pinned comment.
I wish these people all the very best.
Im a newcomer. Happy to be here. 😁
I APPRECIATE THE WORK PUT INTO THIS.
An ancestry test shows that I have Mayan, Peruvian, Colombian, Inca and Aztec ancestors. Also heritage from another group native to Mexico. That is it for Native American, as far as I can remember. The only place my ancestors didn't hail from is Africa (minus the Out of Africa hypothesis).
Why not just go with Out of Africa thing? Personally I vibe with all other sapiens, therefore I am native to the entire planet.
You must have psychic gifts
Bro. Im 50 % Pueblo de cochiti native. And I'm 16% African (from different parts of Africa). I'm like wtf. And European Jewish and English and Spanish and Italian and Scottish. I'm like doubly and triply wtf?? Haha. I look like a native of this planet for sure.
@Jesse Montano , it is crazy. Japanese, Punjabi, Chinese; multiple Asian ancestors from different regions. I look white as fuck, lol. Native people from the Americas always ask me if I am native, so I guess they see something I don't.
I was once told the history of the Ancient Ones of the Southwest by an elder named Blue Star. She told that after the sky gods left the Central Americas the native peoples did what they could to bring them back. First offerings sacrifice of food and flowers. When that did not work they offered jewels and gold, when that did not work they offered animals, when that did not work they offer human sacrifice. But when it came to offering the very young as offerings a huge split happened in the old culture. The ones who believed in sacrifice stayed and the ones who did not believe in killing moved north, in two waves, into what is now the Southwest and Southeastern US and beyond. They may have been part of the mound builders. No matter what was offered, the gods were not allowed to return to Earth. I think the Ancient Ones made a good choice to leave the old ways behind.
So they're immigrants.
That seems pretty true with what we know, human sacrifice became more common with the ruling Mexica Empire, we don't know the extent of it, since the Spanish did exaggerate that aspect, but we have found skullracks and some pits of bodies, but also they did use capital punishment so we need to be aware of that as well
Any society that murders it's young is murdering itself. It is not for any people to do. The Creator will not long suffer it for any reason. The reason given for it is moot in every case.
@@donnajohnson3334 - Amen sister!
@@donnajohnson3334 and there she comes with eurocentric morality to give an unwanted religious opinion on a video trying to give light to the history white christians tried to erase... Idk if it is irony of life or plain stupidity
Oh how I envy the sleepers. These history videos apparently relax them so much that they fall asleep. It’s not fair!
I enjoy your channel
To hear Inuit is lovely! I was born and raised in Alaska. I grew up along side Inuit and other Alaskan native people. I now work at Alaska Native Health Consortium. Preserving the language and culture is so important.
Alaskan natives have some of the most beautiful native costumes and traditions. The richness of it all is breathtaking.
@@di3486 Alaskan Natives also practiced one of the most brutal forms of slavery in the entire world.
The National Pipestone Monument is in the southeast part of Minnesota. It is worth visiting. The Indigenous would travel to get their Pipestone from there. It also has a waterfall and a very beautiful path to walk. As you walk the path, the Indigenous still to this day do ceremonial tobacco rituals, you will see beautiful swaths of colored material.
love all this information
