      I am really surprised that you post such a poor quality video. The AI terrible narration is dismal and I can't keep listening. AND, did you really mean to say "tragic". People were more resilient in these times, you would go all limp and call it tragic and lament loudly, I'm sure. But these people were real humans and knew more than social media and screens. They knew how to do life.

      The TRAGIC mispronunciations turn my stomach. It is so bad it feels deliberate. Butchering these famous names isn't enough for this source. Wilder is pronounced just as you would expect - as a word meaning less tame. It does NOT rhyme with "builder." They have to use bizarre mispronunciations of simple everyday words. Navigated has a long A sound, and so does acres. Barren is pronounced as a title of nobility, not as a word to rhyme with foreign. "Laura ingols wildair?" 20 minutes in, I can't stand any more. Once again, the long A sound is rejected in "adjacent," and I am out of here.

      In 2019, I heard - famine and plague.
      Jan 26, 2021. Heard - War is coming Shawna. Better prepare. Prophesy.
      4 - 11 - 2024 At about 5 -18 AM I went to take a rest. I heard - I gave them my life!
      Then I saw a judges gavel and I think it had slammed down.
      Came to me - Judgment will proceed. I, in my head, heard - go tell Lisa. - Watchwoman65
      In Dec 2022, I heard to read Psalm 37, then on Feb 9, 2023, Psalm 46.
      In April 2019, I heard - Tell them I am coming soon. Later in the day I heard: There will be a great shaking. When I didn't tell a particular church about it, I got a dream where I was scared. I could hear myself saying: I'll tell them, I'll tell them, I'll tell them. Then I saw a person in the dark with well lit church windows behind him and another person dressed in white walking behind him and up some stairs.
      Jesus is coming. On April 9, 2021, my vision went black for a quick moment, then I saw in gold letters - Thus saith the Lord. About four hours later, On April 10, in my sleep I heard - Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 1235 AM, our area had a 3.1 eq. Psalms 76 vs 8 and 9
      Dec 20, 2021. I had a dream of an eagle on a power line. I was standing below and looking up at the eagle as it sat there, calmly, looking around. Then it started to morph into a dragon. Then I was above that dragon looking down at it with its wings spread open. I could see the black veins in the right wing.
      I was in QFC one day and a song caught my attention. I believe the Lord wanted me to hear it. It's called - Get Closer by Seals and Crofts. (also look at lyrics). Supporting scripture - James 4 vs 8 and Zechariah 1 vs 3.
      On Aug 27 at about 313 AM, in my somewhat sleep, I heard - He’s bringing the rapture at the speed of light. Scripture verse 1 Thessalonians 4 vs 17
      From nineplanets I read a bit on the speed of light. Saw this: We know that nothing can surpass the speed of light, at least in theory. If you’d have the power to move with the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second.

    “At age 14, Ingalls suffered an illness - allegedly scarlet fever - thought at the time to cause her blindness. A 2013 medical study concluded that viral encephalitis actually disrupted her eyesight, based on evidence from first-hand accounts and newspaper reports of her illness, as well as relevant school registries, and epidemiologic data on blindness and infectious diseases. Between 1881 and 1889, Ingalls attended the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School in Vinton, Iowa.

    It’s true that this country’s fabric is composed of the richest tapestry. That was then … this narration is proof that that tapestry is being shredded. Also… she wrote her life’s experiences as they truly occurred. Evidently some Indians were exactly as she described them and the comment on what people think of them should have never been put in the equation People accepted who and what they were then and people now would rather live a lie or cover up their past indiscretions and never learn from them. Must be a “sign of the times”!

    My ancestors footsteps were very similar; they went about in wagon trains; of course the Wilder's weren't alone in their experience. Mine landed from Norway in Milwaukee, went to Iowa; many settled there and wanted to stay; then my great grandpa left some of his family of origin there and traveled away. He made a permanent home in SD, though his daughter, my grandmother, would marry into a Minnesota family . . .after a stint as a teacher whose school got wiped out by Spanish Flu epidemic.

    She then traveled to Keystone, South Dakota to live with her second youngest sister Carrie Ingalls Swanzey. There she suffered a stroke, and on October 20, 1928, she died of pneumonia at age 63. Her body was returned to De Smet, where she was buried in the Ingalls family plot next to her parents at De Smet Cemetery.

    Reading the Little House series a few time, it becomes clear that Pas itch for More & Better only got him deeper and deeper in debt--which caused the family to live mostly without him--as he worked at distant jobs--his returns always prompted yet another move, as he chased his own dream. Yet the Ingalls books are great, even if smarmy re native people. Their lives were hard just like that of most pioneers but not tragic. Everyones ancestors, somewhere along the line, lived like them.

    Many people don’t know or realize the show and books are fictional. Yes, Laura based her books on her childhood thus the show was based on her childhood also; however, many parts were fabricated. One major difference was Mary and her blindness. Mary was blind but she never moved away from her parents and she never married.

    The books are Laura Ingalls Wilder‘s life story. For anyone to see stereotypes or try to analyze it in anyway other than is presented is wild… Wilder than anything I could ever imagine. How dare these people try to say anything about the way that she actually lived her life which is what she said it is from her perspective and she said what she said!
    no one has the right to say anything about how they feel about portrayals and stereotypes (which are usually born from some sliver of truth) when she’s telling a story that she didn’t make up. Every part of this country operates differently. Instead of criticizing the elders for saying racist things or things that we don’t believe(usually because there has been some sort of massive change in between the story they’re telling and us coming along) how about we just take them at their word because life can be unbelievable and we weren’t there.
