That was why there were so many Crow scout's that worked with settlers, army etc.

I’ve hiked the tongue river canyon, fished the bighorn, worked on the crow reservation. That place will always be special to me. The crow gave some good land to the Cheyenne and they cooperate with each other now

Makes you wonder how many tribes were completely wiped out over the thousands of years.

Good guys, Bad guys No. Just survivors.

Excellent presentation, factual and heart wrenching story of how tenuous life had been for people on the North American continent just a little over 200 years ago. All the rights, civil liberties and humanitarian infrastructure we have today is like ice water wake up to be alive in the years 2020's. Truly a blessing to know and remember the past. Thank you, OK Corral.

I do not know what the average life expectancy was for the Cheyenne or Sioux and any other tribal members on the Great Plains but it had to be in the 50s at most. Continuous wars, Disease and lack of food at times really had to take it's toll on life. If a member of any tribe reached the age of 60 they were lucky. Perhaps the editors and or producers could comment on this point.

I would love more videos about intertribal relations and conflicts! These are my favorite parts of your channel, and that’s saying a lot

These red-on-red fights are the most interesting episodes on your channel.

Great video! The Indians troubles didn't start with the white man. We constantly hear in the media and movies about the warrior tribes unfair treatment at the hands of the US military and other whites but we seldom hear about the relief from endless tribal warfare that the smaller tribes like the Crow benefited from after the Indians were forced onto reservations.

Brutal times. There is a book called KillsCrow. It is written by a Blackfoot author and is quite good. It gives great incite into the tribal warfare and how they thought. I really enjoyed the read and would recommend it to anyone that is interested in expanding their understanding of what things were really like. The book is actually Fools Crow by James Welch.

Everytime I see you have a new video I'm like "Yes!" Thank you guys

Another superb video, I enjoy your stories of enter tribal warfare. It reinforces the concept in history that except in a few rare cases there are no good guys or bad guys.

Oh boy I knew this one would be good by the thumbnail and it certainly didn’t disappoint!

I'm indigenous in a country called canada and this has been the legacy of all indigenous people across North America. We have been our own worst enemies.

These are Brilliant Videos!!! Well Done!!!

Great videos, thank youl

I love the background music for these videos !! Makes me really feel like I'm in the olddd west

Great analysis

Good stuff, thanks.

The Crow and Pawnee had their lands stolen and were driven to near extinction by the Lakota and Cheyenne who were in fact invaders from the Great Lakes , Like most Indian warfare it was based on linguistics what language the tribes spoke , The Lakota , Cheyenne and Arapaho were pretty much hated by the vast majority of tribes native to the Northern Plains.

Love your videos sir, many thanks. Crow scouts served with the US Army and were at the battle of the Little Bighorn also. At least 10 scouts died alongside the troopers of the 7th Cavalry.

And people talk about racism and slavery between White and Black, get real, it's gone on for years between everybody forever

Great story, kickass channel

Subscribed from Arizona 🔥

Great content all around

Amazing! I'm doing a essay right now! Cheyenne vs Crow.

i think video clips of the movie Windwalker about the rivalry of the Crow and Cheyenne would be more relevant than any from Dances with Wolves involving the Pawnee and the Lakota.

What's the movie on the background would like to watch

Great artwork. The Tongue and Powder rivers cover a lot of area-any narrowing of where this happened?

The guys who don’t repeat the atrocities that have been done to them are the heroes.

Another interesting installment. Again it begs to answer... Who threw the first stone? Who spoke the first insult? Who shot the first arrow in anger? Resources were finite and new pioneering Settlers were on the cusp, of dividing up these lands. Europe is full of similar tales and not that long ago.

Howsabout straightening out the tall tale Bob Boze Bell laid down about Mickey Free and the Apache Kid? I'll stay subscribed to see that...

That’s what the tribes did. It was over the land. Absolutely no reparations should be paid. How ridiculous to even think about think that. That’s todays peoples thinking.

You ever heard of the battle at connells prarrie?? Might be a cool story to cover

It just goes to show human nature is a condition we all suffer no matter what color your skin is or ethnic group. Excellent story. 👍

Love this stuff!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

8:32 what a beautiful art, who painted that?

They were warrior societies and young men rose to leadership largely through performance in strive with others.

Cheyenne Dog Soldiers are one group of men I wouldn't want to encounter in an armed situation.

I love this channel.

A nice and important one for the later history on the plains guys! Got myself a own theory about the next generation. Kicking Bird a chief of the Kiowa was supposed to be a half Crow, he looked brighter and more lanky than his Tribes men and by far the best diplomate in the Kiowa Nation. I believe his mother was sold from the north. The slave trading among the Indians is interesting a piece of the plains history but not easy to research. I heard Cheyenne and Crow don't get along in some important questions until today.... ;~) You researched very well as a old historian I tell! Both Tribes were known for their culture with the hair, Crow warriors extended theirs with horse hair and the Cheyenne were always described as the most handsome people of the plains. The role of the Lakota for eminent allies of the Cheyenne in relation to the Crow is important because the Sioux hatred of the Crow was a kind of natural law so to speak. Thank you for this beautiful poem of history and God's Blessing from Northern Germany! Ludwig

Atrocious as this is, unfortunately this sort of thing took place on every continent. When will mankind be kind to one another?

I appreciate the content and subscribed. Westward expansion and competing Fur Trade companies are an essential context of the inter-tribal warfare and alliances of this period. This context is essentially overlooked in this production. I suggest using American Indian sound tracks. There are some excellent artists, of these nations, that could be featured and given credit of course. I keep getting distracted by the art and video clips that randomly do or don’t match the narrative. More Still shots of authentic artifacts Might be helpful, that would offer a little visual interest and enhance the narrative too. Viewers who enjoyed this video might enjoy the film “Windwalker”. A critical review of that film and others might also be of interest to your patrons. Anyway, thanks for the content and I wish you all the best as you continue with these creative projects! PS .. the black/ white photo of horsemen in the snow ..historic or modern Reenactors? I’m thinking reenactors who are really serious.

Wait a minute so these peaceful indians were actually attacking other indians and stealing their land??? Seems that everyone neglects to remember that part of the history.

This is why Custer had Crow scouts: payback They were doing to each other what Europeans did to them long before the first white man set foot on the continent.

The crow had it pretty rough.. seemed like most tribes hated them

Such a rich and vibrant culture.

How it really was

No good or bad,just cycles of raid and counter raid generations without end. The tribes may move to better hunting areas and discover new enemies. And so on and on.

Did the Crow have a LGBT movement?

No good or bad with either tribe. This is how it was. It’s a gray topic that Warrior cultures engage in.

How brave the cheyenne were to go after the women and children while fleeing from the men

What tribe worked the most with the US army to help them conquer the west?

🤠WE HAVE KILLED EACH OTHER FOR GENERATIONS. EVEN TODAY HARD FEELING IS THERE.

good guy/ bad guy depended totally on to which tribe you belonged...

Thank you

🇦🇺 Ah - human behaviour, the same everywhere regardless of race, creed or colour!

gotta wonder what tribe(s) are the characters with shaved heads in this video meant to represent?

But still today crow tribe is most known out of all tribes in the world and are one of the smallest tribes today biggest tipi capital in the world crow fair and the crow bead work and patterns are in most cloth shops throughout america Canada and Europe also the crow still have the most beautiful lands in the reservation most tribes dont even have reservations if they do its very small

It was normative for this kind of behavior among native tribes.

I was always incredulous that American Indians could stand up to the European invasion at all. But come to the realization a few things. They seem to be almost always warlike fighting each other developing fighting skills. They attacked with odds in their favor. They attacked almost defenseless settlers and put the fear in the white man. They felt spirits were protecting them.

Shouldn’t the descendants of these tribes be paying “reparations” to the descendants of the tribes they massacred and enslaved? 🤓🤔

Killing each other and never knew the real enemy coming soon

Like gangsters

Great video. I didn't know about that massacre. In an internecine war there are no good guys and killing the defenseless is dishonorable. But history rhymes, think of Wounded Knee.

Thought it was great siberian colonizer love in before Europeans arrived?

Indians not need saddles.

This is a microcosm of the story of the Human Race. American Indian Tribes had very few things that where universal to all tribes, but one of those was a prohibition against and a horror of interbreeding. Stealing Women and Children from other Tribes was considered a safe bet for avoiding incest.

Tribes and clans have been at war since the first humanoids picked up a large stick and beat the crap out of the guy from the other valley. This video is enlightening but only demonstrates that the Native Americans got a late start. Clan warfare in what is now Europe preceded them by oh, 1000 years?

no good guys, all bad

Parts seem missing or made up. I’m a storytelling bullshitter..

I like native American history, it should be a standard for American children in schools remember this is still Indian country!

Quit monetizing and being a lazy blogger! NO ADS!

John Wayne is the good guy here

Those dayum white men.

This is what i think. I'm 65 now, and i've come to the conclusion that this would be a peaceful and happy world if testostorone was removed from every male before they reached puberty.
