- In 1868, the Treaty of Fort Laramie recognized the Black Hills of South Dakota as Lakota Sioux country. But buried within the text was a provision that would end up creating additional resentment.
From the Show: The Battle of Little Bighorn bit.ly/2FaEbZL
"Complications arose in the Black Hills when Gold was discovered." That's not a complication, that's greed kicking in.
It is called thievery and the USA is still a thieving nation, the alcohol sold on the rez was sold by Jewish trading post thugs
This is more intersing than my history class
I'm a native Canadian treaty 7 Blackfoot piikani peigan.
I can appreciate them wanting to let people know about the Black Hills (there are several different names for it in different First People Nations), but I get frustrated when they lump all of the Sioux Nation into the Lakotas. It's even on Wiki which is kind of an insult. There are 7 subnation within the Sioux people, and they still exist, I'm part Dakota Sioux. Sitting Bull was such a huge influence that he was able to unite those nations, some of which were antagonistic toward each other. The treaty affected all Sioux Nations, and the results still continue to affect each part of the Sioux Nation. Some Repercussions and laws that were placed have not yet been lifted.
Other laws while no longer reinforced after my grandmother's generation, were still valid laws until the Obama presidency terminated some of them. You can't really show how remarkable the history is if you keep repeating what history told us 20 years ago. With more recognition of what has transpired with the First Nations the history that was white-washed or hidden has come to light. Yes, Native Americans were sometimes just as at fault as the settlers, other times, more often than not they were, while not victims, the ones who had to shoulder the responsibility.
I would ask any channel or person who wants to do a Documentary, to show the larger aspects of the history that until 20 years ago painted us as heathens that were evil. Remember that little tune as a kid, "one little indian"? It was such an innocent child's rhyme, but it reflected what history told. We have come a long way since then. If historically we can acknowledge the horrors that faced other minority peoples, then I would ask the same consideration be shown to us. Evil or good, at fault, or instigator, I would ask that we be shown for who and what we once were and who we have since become. "1 Man had enough influence to unite a nation." Now if that was said in a history class who would those children think they were hearing about? That is what is missing from these documentaries.
You can't tell recent history unless you truly show what that history meant. Abraham Lincoln was an amazing man who was before his time, but despite all of that and his actions to help abolish slavery, Native Americans were merely animals in his eyes. Let us respect the history we have by showing and telling more of what happened. I do not hate Abraham Lincoln and even understand where he came from as far as "indians" were concerned, and knowing much of what transpired and how, does not make me respect his role in our United States History any less. That is the kind of history I would like to be shown. A history that rather than trying to place guilt or evoke sympathy, lets us know we have grown from who we once were and gives us pride in all that we have overcome. A history that can give us pride in who we are and strength as we continue into our future, knowing all that we have overcome and the fortitude to continue to walk forward as a nation, while continuing to overcome the obstacles and challenges that face us.
Thank you for this comment. I'm a history teacher searching for videos about the For Laramie Treaty so I will be sure to include this nuance that you've provided.
I was disappointed thinking this would actually be about the treaties and they just talked about Custer most of the time.
And the black hills and I am surprised as to no mention of crazy horse
Why does this video stop before it even answers the question of why the treaty failed to maintain peace? This video ends midsentence, and stops explaining what happened. Would have been a really good video if it hadn't been randomly cut short. Disappointed. Simply stating that the gold caused issues doesn't answer the question.
I thought the same thing when I just watched. Maybe the full answer is in the video/documentary for which this appears to be a teaser video?
What a horrible video. There is no real information contained within and it certainly does NOT explain why the Fort Laramie treaty failed. Very poor job.
It looks like it's just a teaser for a longer video/documentary. 😞
The Indian tribes had to be contained so that they had very little of the land that was deemed of value. Remember, they were here first and all this country belonged to one tribe or another.

So they fought each other over food, hunting grounds or simply over what they possessed.. there is virtually no society in modern civilization who's ancestry at one point wasn't dominated , resettled, annihilated, assimilated or controlled.. as a society there is no remedial action due other than what has already been paid.. The pursuit of Riches brings out the worst in man and the history of man is littered with events far worse.. mankind is not capable of any sustainable level of peaceful coexistence. Sad but not worth loosing sleep over it.
Worse, they decided to imprison all the loosens and educate their children against the parents will. They also lied time and time again because each treaty was broken. Sounds like our ancestors were holier than though hypocrites.
Anyone else here because of the new Oregon trail game?
Yes one from my state. South Dakota. Ty Smith.
And just saying but Custer looks a lot like my grandpa when he was young because my grandpa had the same mustache as Custer
Carson Flake I understand that
Honor those treaties
Hasn't every treaty been desecrated? I mean really. History class doesn't teach "inconvenient " facts!
Your lucky custer you never met me! Lol 😂
Gold gold Gold greed gold
American Indians were interesting people. 🐎😉 I never get tierd of learning about all the different tribes
I know what you mean because Last year I went on a cross country road trip with my grandpa and I learned more stuff about the native Americans aka the American Indians and I even had a chance to eat some of the food that they eat like bison and elk meat and bison burgers
@@chasemurraychristopherdola7108 Glad you had the chance. As much as I love our country, you won't learn the majority of what really happened unless you put in the efforts to learn it yourself. College was a big Eye opener. It's not as geared toward how great our nation is and is much more factual and less slanted.
Anime Huntress well I am going into college but I also got to experience on my trip how coyotes have increased their population and that there are coyotes in place’s like New York City Los Angeles Portland Oregon and others
@@chasemurraychristopherdola7108 Yup... did your draw drop at how much we've spent trying to get rid of em? Mine did, and then I learned why they didn't go the way the wolves did. Irony at its finest. For all the money spent, we only helped to expand their range, lol.
Anime Huntress yes well I didn’t draw it up I was at Zion and a ranger there drew it up
Indian hunter has no honor
Agencies or reservations, a.k.a.; prisoner of war camps/p.o.w. camps, or concentration camps.
sort of a captain obvious explanation....
I refuse to sign!!!!!👩🎤
Because Europeans broke the treaty......just like the hundreds of others they broke? Just a guess.......We've been in denial of civilizations thriving here prior to our "discovery" of the continent. The ruins of cities of 20,000 are being found in Ohio and Southern Kansas........
The United States never had any attention of keeping the Treaties they made with the Natives. They were nothing more than stall tactics until they no longer needed to stall. They were also ways effortless ways for the Indian agency and politicians to line their pockets with taxpayers' money. The Railroad was the cooperate power at the time running the Government and was the driving force behind getting people to immigrate to the US. There wasn't enough natural born Americans to populate the mid-west. So, a massive campaign was started to flood depressed areas of Europe with pamphlets about who great it was on the plains. The prospect of being landowners also motivated people to leave their homelands, because in their own countries the elites stagnated the economy by hoarding wealth and owning all the land. Since the Natives didn't produce anything for the Railroad to hail killing off the Bison and confining the Native population to Reservations would make resettlement of the Plains possible. Things were not all sunshine and roses for the immigrants come here either after they got here the Railroad didn't care. Many journals of the immigrant reflect deep empathy for the Natives, but they had their own problems just trying to adapt to a situation they were not prepared for. Most Natives don't have a problem with Americans and understand their ancestors came looking for a better life. The Government is a different story because in our eyes the Government is just a facade for cooperate and cooperate doesn't care about people it only care about profit.
This is a waste of time to watch because the video doesn't even really answer the question in the title & is poorly edited. Very disappointed to find this type of video from Smithsonian; I would expect better quality content from this channel. 😞
Treaties are broken we all wait to take your souls ha ha Ha tree breakers land these boat people ask yourself who are the boat people who stole land who saw our suffering I lay claim to it go ahead leave a bad comment I’ll take your soul to we are all waiting
Negroes are Natives of America aswell. Webster's Dictionary 1828 AMER'ICAN, noun A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races,(negroes) found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.
False. The Indigenous people of the Americas are NOT African or European. They are their own people.
