Literally every New World country did this though. Wonder why leftists always concentrate on the US, but never talk about how Latin American countries stole indigenous territory.
Why did you take the North Korea video on Nebula down right after uploading? I wanted to watch it :(
3rd Place
Would you ever make a video on how the US has benefited the world. Show two sides of the story. The US has 800 bases around the world which seems crazy but in reality they are required to keep the authoritarian powers at bay.
It is when sh*t hits the fan do we really realise how things aren't that bad in the West in comparison to Russia or China
@@notBabbon0123 This is an oversimplification if I have ever seen it. You are painting the Native Americans as some kind of perfect society, they weren't. They enslaved each other and went to war with each other all the time. They did participate in attacking white settlements unprovoked and many allied with the colonialists to fight their rival tribes. You are painting an incredibly biased narrative and it is disgusting to see. People these days just love manipulating history to pass off their own narratives. If you are going to tell a story, TELL THE WHOLE F*CKING STORY and from EVERYONE'S point of view.
as a native american, WE STILL EXIST. we never stopped existing. i’m eighteen and everything that’s wrong in my life stems to this. the colonization and genocide of the native americans/canadians. all of our issues as people only slayed after being killed off savagely. and the people who think we deserved it and stuff were severely misinformed and indoctrinated into believing lies. thank you for shedding light on this issue.
life is complicated
Maddy, you were conquered. Wars happened everywhere.
change today to make a better tomorrow. dred history and forever be in your personal prison
The world is a big bad place. It’s messed up, but that’s just the way it is. What happened in the past to your ancestors also happened throughout the earth 🌍 over the past several thousands of years.
Do you hate "white people"? I mean those who live today, do you hold them responsible for what happened in XIX and on?
This channel mastered narrating stories in a way that makes you feel you uncover the mystery yourself
xcept he never uncovers the whole truth and whitewashes things hes right but always could unloads more info he isnt willing to
@@big_bird8597 damn did you write the video and make it?
@@big_bird8597 ofc but he gotta summarize it.
@@aa-ron2840 no that would be Johnny Harris
Really good way of putting it.
Although I was born and raised here, my skin color often leads people to ask where I'm from. I understand their curiosity. However, when I once asked a young man the same question, he responded angrily, declaring himself a proud United States citizen. It surprises me how deeply some people's egos are affected, to the extent that they seem to forget their entire history.
The natives had been there for a certain number of years before being considered natives. How long does it take to be called natives? The U.S. has been established for over 300 years. Is that enough time? Look at Europe now; many countries were established just a few hundred years ago, and their borders are constantly changing. That's why every country has a military. If the U.S. did not have a strong military, I believe the country would be gone soon.
Consider some countries in Asia, like Russia, which conquered vast land in Siberia from indigenous people, China, which took land from the Mongolians, and Vietnam, which expanded its territory to the south from Cambodia. However, in these countries, they never talk about it; they consider themselves natives to the land. I think Americans are very open-minded to allow these stories to spread.
@@Boulder734the US is under 300 years old we’re still a relatively new country.
Because alot of these people know they don’t have a true history or origin outside of not ever being here while the stolen lineage & spiritual beliefs are stolen from the same slaves that built this country
@@JoolianVyoungest country and the most vocal on human rights issues slavery wqs only an issue with america because it was british colonialism before that and we put a stop to it
Hmm? Was I the man? Cause that sounds how I have responded.. the reason is because I was abandoned at birth and never met my parents, never known my family name, and was raised in a group home. The only thing I know of where I come from is the United States, also when people ask me personal questions I don’t have an answer to it triggers a long held resentment to being abandoned. When I was younger I was more proud about it as a cover to how I was feeling about not knowing anything about myself.
I was requesting this content for years. thanks for bringing this story to life.
I remember in 5th grade while attending a catholic school I first learned of the trail of tears only as a foot note by my social studies teacher Mrs Harris, but it moved me so much that I did a whole report of the Nez Perce Tribe specifically on chief Joseph and I concluded with his now famous surrender speech and his one before the President at the time Rutherford B Hayes.
“I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohoolhoolzote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say, “Yes” or “No.” He who led the young men [Olikut] is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are - perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”
“It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and all the broken promises. There has been too much talking by men who had no right to talk. Too many misinterpretations have been made; too many misunderstandings have come up between the white men and the Indians. If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them the same laws. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect all rivers to run backward as that any man who was born a free man should be contented penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. If you tie a horse to a stake, do you expect he will grow fat? If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented nor will he grow and prosper. I have asked some of the Great White Chiefs where they get their authority to say to the Indian that he shall stay in one place, while he sees white men going where they please. They cannot tell me. I only ask of the Government to be treated as all other men are treated…Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars. We shall be all alike - brothers of one father and mother, with one sky above us and one country around us and one government for all.”
*note- This happened in 1984 where the school library and local library were the main resources for any information. Also what I had been taught was Chief Joseph had been forced to leave his home in the Pacific Northwest and was sent far away to a reservation and then he resisted and tried to get him and his people back to the Pacific Northwest.
Learning so little about this in class and not much more was offered in the libraries about this is when I realized nations will go to great lengths to protect their perceived image as being good. This of course led to stop blindly trusting my government, which over the years I learned about not just the US Dark Secrets but those of its Allies, and even its enemies.

if sponsors are afraid of you it means you are doing the right thing. it's an honor to support you! keep up the great work
If you're doing it right sponsors are afraid. But they're also afraid if you do something completely wrong. Not saying he's a bad one but I don't want people to make that general conclusion in the wrong direction
I don't blame the sponsors. The main purpose of marketing is used to associate the brand with something and make people be aware that so and so exists.
Associating it with politics is a bad thing for the company because half the people in USA would completely disagree with this video and support the US Govt saying there is nothing wrong with what they did. So you should be blaming the racist people, not the sponsors.
Your work is excellent - please keep going. Thank you!

No disrespect intended but if you’re donating 60 euros to a single CZcamsr then you’re either terrible at budgeting or are making more than enough to support your son + have disposable income. Regardless of how good they are, donating to a creator should be at the bottom of your priorities. If you’re struggling even at all you should cut ancillary expenses like that.

Native Americans: Our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLION'! A shocking sad truth. 😔

Ditto
It’s very important because we need to learn from our mistakes; where it can get dangerous, however, is when it’s done in a biased way to push an agenda. What the Europeans did in America was horrible, however , unfortunately it was the same thing that the natives were doing to one another before the Europeans arrived. In fact it’s the same thing that has been happening in every piece of land by whichever group of people that had power did for the history of humanity. Humans are very flawed. I wish his videos would be less biased stocking tribalism and division.
@@trevorv9218 This channel is doing the very thing you much oppose, pushing an agenda that America is the badest of all nations in the world

@@bpittana I'm curious why you think this is like Fox News? How is he partisan? He seems to criticize every country in the world though he does criticize the US the most. Or is that what you mean, that he's a partisan against the US?
Multiple channels has already exposed the numerous ways in which Johnny distorts historical facts, and at times even downright lies in his videos. Sometimes he's correct in the things he says, but many other times he's spewing propaganda that leans to his political ideologies. And that's what's so dangerous about it. If he was simply spewing blatant propaganda 24/7 everyone could see that and take it for what it is... propaganda. But when he mixes in just enough facts that you let your guard down against bias and propaganda, people buy into it. It's a common tactic among most political parties, but dangerous and ignorant nonetheless.
Thank you for your honesty lots of this not taught in school's
i appreciate you not sugar coating anything!
Native American (Navajo) right here! I was born and raised on an “Indian” reservation, then moved to the southern states (Tennessee/ Alabama).
Which after learning the history here, it’s so sad to see many towns/ cities/ counties with Native American names that were once home to a thriving community of Native Americans (especially Chattanooga, TN)…. yet no sign of Native Americans AT ALL. And even the local people are always so fascinated with meeting me because I’m always the first “real Indian” they’ve met. It seriously pains me deeply when I think about it.
Hope God will give severe punishment for those imperialism for the sake of your ancestors pain and suffering

That would be SO interesting, and I think it would do the world a lot of good to realise that it isn’t just America that has this problem. I’m swedish and I’ll admit that I know a lot less about the Saami people, for example, than I’d like.
Hey Johnny! I wrote my senior paper on the topic of Native American removal and symbology in US institutions. I have several maps and documents that show the context of the removal of Native Americans in the Midwest/Illinois region. The Potawatomi tribe was relocated from the Chicago area all the way to Oklahoma in the Trail of Death which occured around 1838. This entire trail is still marked today and I'd recommend speaking to Dr. George Godfrey about this specific topic if you'd like to know more. He has a lot of wisdom about his ancestors and what they endured.
Would it be possible for you to share your research paper with me? I'm really interested in the topic and would love to read more about it.
Yeah, call me pessimistic, but you should share your info with folks who are interested in a consistent study of this. It's likely ol' Johnny is one and done here. He doesn't have to and so probably won't ever think too deeply about this ever again.
Omg please share them!!!

Furthermore, no one who agrees this was terrifying would give any of the land back today, and I mean, not one acre of the millions of miles of untouched lands. So currently, still all terrible.

Around the time of the American Revolutionary War, the term "Americans" was used to refer to European settlers living in North America who were fighting for independence from British control.
I am from Montana, witnessing the injustice in present day. I lived next to and my father was born on the Crow reservation. I now live in Ecuador. The indigenous people here are integrated into general society. They ARE "the people." They own shops. They grow food sold to the rest of us. They wear traditional clothing. Their cultural events are community wide and enjoyed by all. I wish the Native Americans in Montana would exchange community members and leaders with Ecuador, in a cultural exchange. Natives of North America need to see what happens when they ARE equal.
Hi, I'm from Nubula.
This is a topic I regularly feel powerless in my effort to describe how unfair it all is- and so you coming in and talking about it like you've been in these videos is a huge deal to me.
Thank you.
Add the kidnapping of Africans to do all the labour to build a country. Beating, raping, destroying their culture, splitting up their families, treating them like animals. The theft of the land, the Genocide of Native peoples and the capturing and enslaving of Africans for 400 years of free labour cursed this country.

Isn't like half of Oklahoma Indigenous territory nowadays? Therefore, aren't they able to create their own laws for the curriculum anyways?
BTW this made me think, the US is so much praised for their federalism, it's so much democracy and freedom, not like Russia and China! But this federalism is never applied to the Native Americans, or to any ethnic minority in general.. If even Oklahoma, the land they forcibly sent the natives to, doesn't represent their interests, what to think for the rest of the country?

Thank you Johnny! Wanishi, Mvdo!!! It’s been pretty easy to tell you we’re working up to this topic, and I’m not disappointed from the results. I’m a member of the Seminole tribe of Florida and a descendant Delaware Tribe of Indians/Lenape. So many of my family’s stories come from initial contact. The Lenape were initially on the coast of Delaware and Pennsylvania and even into New Jersey and New York. There are many contemporary issues that arise when trying to be present in our homelands from a lack of financial resources to CPAIN issues of identity. Native issues are issues that we deal with every day, but I’m always happy to see support towards native peoples on the internet. I hope the next video brings in The McGirt ruling which shows how Native people never gave up our sovereignty. The Lenape people are eventually were pushed right into Cherokee territory and now are subject to their jurisdiction. The fact that dozens of tribal nations were piled on top of each other and told to figure it out is so baffling to me. But we did, and now other tribes all across the U.S that are still in their traditional territory are also claiming to express their sovereignty.
All that to say I hope the next video talks about how we are still here, we did not “loose”. Many tribes still hold onto their sovereignty and their culture. We feel we won, we are the living proof that the U.S failed at trying to erase our ancestors. Keep up the good work Johnny!
Side note, its so disappointing this kind of video isn’t being sponsored, this kind of topic is never discussed at this level on social platforms.
great brother, and I'm surprised you didn't get any reply ..I'm from original India 😃 and I really wanna support you ..don't know about Indian goverment. No other world goverment even raise your issue on international forum because european and America made hegemony over all international platforms ..they still promise we are giving freedom and democracy to the world after invading more than 100 country. ...this story goes very long. ... but as Indian citizen I definitely will urge my goverment support First Americans and tribe and raise their issue .... definitely I don't have big power in my country but hope so I'll make this issue international like what now ..what American goverment can do for native peoples and tribes and may give sovereignty.
Great to hear you're still still there, feeling you won!
As a white male European I am disgusted with what other white male Europeans have done in the Americas. I do have a lot of empathy for all the people who have sufferd such injustices and for sure I hope that those involved in these horrific actions have learned 'up there', wherever their souls went, that it was wrong to cause so much pain to others...
@@EdoTimmermans It wasn't all white men (very little at first).That is what they wanted us to think. Thanks to the internet, very old books (hard to find) and various archives around the world, we are learning what really happened and who were the real perpetrators of this monstrosity... Do you want to see the 'Evidence' about how history was TOLD to us in reverse?
@@nitziamartin-vazquez4420 I don’t believe you right now but my mind is open to your evidence
@@YkChauhan26 Even in India we did the same things. This was the land of Santhalis,Kol,Bheel. But slowly but surely we grasped all of their lands.
At the 5:37 mark, There's a song by a prog metal band named Protest The Hero called Little Snakes, and it talks about this entire thing - in fact that particular album is entirely a critical analysis of America, but the starting lyrics to the chorus of that song is "We can make an exception, And they can make some concessions, Because there’s gold in the Black Hills" And I'm not comfortable putting the rest of the lyrics here as they quickly get VERY powerful. This band does not hold back it's words and this song has a VERY strong message behind it. I do recommend checking it out. Thanks for everything you do Johnny.
I never knew i like history..thanks to you makes it so interesting
You have amazing personalitys man...love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
been following your channel, and you’re storytelling history in a whole new level. ✨ 17 to 20-minute video never felt this short.
Thanks! Keep asking for support and explaining why and the money will be there. No need for other brands to support you because you're your own brand with supporters now. You know this

6:36 you are forever a legend thank you
The only channel I have all notifications on for. Absolutely phenomenal content. I have learned so much!
Very moving and sad story. Insane how history and time just tucks these events away to be forgotten. Thank you for bringing this topic and injustice to light Johnny.
What do you mean story? Its continuing to happen, now its off the continent.
To look at history is to look at injustice. There genuinely isn’t a difference. So I love the video but people are insane to believe this was “bad for the time. Signing treaties was actually progress compared to the alternative.
They are meant to be forgotten by design; so that it can happen again and again.
Nothing sad about it. It was a triumph! We won! 🎉
@@Daniel-qy9mb Literally. US conquered its territory in the most benign way possible at the time. Hell, they named a lot of land, cities and sports clubs after the people who they conquered. If you want to see what real brutal conquest looks like, see how ISIS destroyed all foreign heritage once they grabbed a piece of land.
Thanks you broo u open my eyes
Great title man
Regardless of what the sponsors might say, being political and telling the truth are not the same thing. Based on what Ive seen of your content and what I know, you are just telling the truth with a bit of opinion included and that is admirable, respectable and solid content. So, I really respect the fact that you didn't bend or alter your presentations to suit the opinion of said sponsors. Keep up the hard work.
Yeah, the conservatives believe that teaching people true history will make cause some disaster.
Thank you for this. As one who's elders suffered in this. It means the world that we are not forgotten
It's just one movie, more involvement is needed

@@DraskoCobra This person mentioned nothing about themselves, their goals or motivations. They also didn’t ask anything about you or your ancestors. This makes me wonder why you felt the need to write this comment.
@@DraskoCobra And now you will be demographically replaced
@@DraskoCobra You have this foolish notion that expansionism and forcibly assimilating people against their will is a good thing.
Native Americans were great nations before invaders came along.
Good job!

Every video just keeps getting better and better. Love how you talk about real issues and topics and you keep it unbiased. Absolutely love what you guys are doing. Keep it up ❤
you gotta respect how much effort he puts in his videos.
The edit is top, one of the best on yt. But not the best
Badass presentation!
Same story happening in palatine nowadays
This still takes my breath away; heard this from my US History 101 Professor 1983, in a similar "no apology" narration of what the hell really happened to the Native American of this continent. It was novel back then, and breaks my heart that it is still a novel story to hear...very very little has changed in 40 years.
Don’t feel too bad, you would have been eaten
Nobody should feel bad about the natives. Much like blacks, they were too busy slaughtering each other to care about anything else
@@phenomenal8196 What do you mean?
@@phenomenal8196 no you wouldnt of unless you end up in the wrong tribe
They fought they lost and were conquered I'll not feel bad for it

You better make a video about every country then bc this how most countries came to be
I'm on board but one thing I might challenge in the video is you say the Seminoles had no access to ocean or farmland in central florida, but as someone who grew up there, (at least in present day) there are several riverways which can take you to the ocean, and there is a lot of farmland. I wonder if these details were the same for the Seminoles
From
politics to economics
Geography to history
Science to philosophy
Johny Harris covers every single topic. Literally an all-rounder💪👏❤
Sometimes it's better to focus on one, but better. Then there are inaccuracies in the content. Doing research, you can come up with completely different things that contradict this video

I love your videos Johnny and crew! Beautifully designed and animated.
Keep the good work johnny.
Thank you for creating such an informative and thought-provoking video on the history of the United States and its treatment of Native Americans. The use of illustrations really helped to convey the message clearly. It's important to acknowledge and learn from the past, and your video provided valuable insight into a topic that is often overlooked. The emotional impact of the video really made me think deeply about the issue. Keep up the great work Harris.
It's The Myth of the Noble Savage. He criticizes Europeans for conquering other people's lands, but when the Native Americans did it for thousands of years it was ok." It's ridiculous racism.
Stop spreading blatant misinformation and propaganda
@@colinreese This video is about what Europeans did to America. How Americans treated each other prior to that is irrelevant to what Europeans did to them, Europeans didn't go there to liberate, they went there to steal and claim.
How Americans lived there for thousands of years is unknown.
@@colinreese what Natives did before yall came here is none of ur business,
@@Aztaable stories are still passed down
I'm 34 years old, and never had a patreon account of any kind until today. I will always support factual journalism, that is dashed with a bit of integrity and class. Thank you Johnny for always teaching me new things and never blemishing your integrity. Cheers! ❤
IM ABOUT TOO AS WELL ITS A SHAME THAT NOBODY WANTS TO SPONSOR THIS FIRE CONTENT... SMH...
Same!
This guy purposely leaves out crucial information or just makes up stuff to push his narrative. His videos are well done and informative but he’s very very biased
@@1212holden baised which whing? left or right?
Modern total crap.
Thanks for the breakdown on some awesome truth I appreciate you taking the time to Inform the ignorance we have
I don’t know how a subject like this can be encapsulated in 17 minute video.
Man, all of your videos are done so well. This was more informative than when I learned about this in school 16 years ago. I literally feel like I am learning something new from all of your videos.
You are doing very important work. Thank you so much for what you do.
Your comment should've been up 👆
Oh wow… this is incredible… I live along the trail of tears in Georgia, as a descendant… thank you for this insight 🪶💖🪶
And they don’t say
“ Free Native American “😂
As someone born and raised here in Oklahoma, I am quite familiar with the history of this land. I can’t wait to hear what you have to report about it. Accuracy and respect for the natives that did, and do, reside here are much appreciated when it comes to reporting. Instead of glossing over it discussing their suffering is important and I know you’re going to do a good job on the upcoming video.
another really good video (and channel tbh) about this is czcams.com/video/A5P6vJs1jmY/video.html
Sadly, too many others even in this state are wholly ignorant of the bloody injustice that led to its creation. It's good for people like Johnny to expose it.
Also, I much prefer the tribal governments and their dedication to the people they govern, because the state government is nothing like that
@@jowen001 from California pretty sure everyone is aware this was 3rd grade. but yea very tragic, still glad this is the USA.
capitalism coming to the top-heavy end but world isn't perfect, far from it. If it wasn't us the British if not someone else. Native Americans unfortunately were put on a terrific spot economically and militarily. Hense USA great advantage.
@@orfnerlax caplitalism isnt going anywhere bud, no other system is better.
@@notlogical4016 Both capitalism and socialism are failed experiments it's only a combination of both that have let nations progress and not fall into anarchy.
Love this one! Canadian here and in the US copied some of their tactics from the Canadian government. Great to see the work you are doing and starting the conversation for people to continue their knowledge journey.
Can you do a video on every state like the one you did about Oklahoma I had no ideas about how they use to have runs to occupy land That was one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen on CZcams I’m from Texas so I would really like to know in a similar video how this land was occupied and who was here first if anyone Love thile vids Thank you!!
Thanks you for sharing you land with others, we will all be one people soon.
Johnny. i cant imagine the emotional rollercoaster you must have gone through doing all the research for these series. I salute you.
Thanks for the hard work you and your team put into making these videos for us
Thank you! Thank you!
