More coming ASAP!

Thanks a ton!

cool thank you 😊

Explain your post, if you please.

@@tudyk21 they took it "fair and square" like all groups did.

Thank you!

More to come!

They are a strong group of warriors for sure but they not THE strongest, The Comanches are more powerful and The Stoney Nakoda defeated them for the Cochrane area in Alberta

@thegamingnomad1 Stoney Nakoda was allies of the blackfoot along with the cree and they expelled the shoshone and kootenai

@@sirblank2384 although true, there were also times the Stoney Nakoda and Blackfoot fought one another and were evenly matched basically, both tribes have won and lost battles to one another, one battle for example both tribes fought over the region of Cochrane and which the Stoney Nakoda won that battle. So basically both tribes fought each other but there were also allegiances between the tribes

@thegamingnomad1 im not saying there wasnt battles i mean heck look at the irish clans they fought just as much....if not more and it ended in stalemates

@@sirblank2384 basically both tribes fought to a stalemate but there was also alliances between the tribes

An old roomate of mine did this to a raccoon...It works!

The tail was considered a great delicacy

Beaver is VERY pungent and it has an aftertaste that you would never forget. Like the great American Buffalo, most beaver were killed for their fur and nothing else. And like the buffalo, the beaver in N. America was hunted to the brink of extinction. In 1899, the beaver was estimated to be only 500-to 750 within the lower 48.

My step Mom was raised in deep East Texas (2 hours North of Houston) in the 1940’s and 50’s. Her father never had a driver’s license and often hunted for their supper. I have heard her tell of eating several animals we would probably not eat, like possums. I never heard of them eating beaver. There are beaver in those thick woods and creeks because we often saw sign while deer hunting. Trees they had chewed down, etc..

@@enemy5971 I did get it right. Its how you pronounce them.

@@enemy5971 I’ve never heard another Blackfoot pronounce Piikani with a P because blackfoots pronounce “P” as “B” just like how we pronounce “K” as “G” like Kainai / Kainaiwa (Gain-uh-wa)

It wasn't Howell, it was another guy.

Naw, we weren’t there so it could be six or a half dozen. Those were rough people all around. Kinda like every rockumentary I’ve ever seen. They start on the road with a lick and a promise, talent gets them a seat at the banquet, and luck favors them and they have made it. THen comes the bottle and the syringe. Or in this case if they aren’t killed by a cougar or ol’ Mr. Grizz there is a the matter of a very upset group of men who see these newcomers as we would those who break in to our homes and take it as if it’s their right. Y’all know that an argument over a dog between neighbors can become pretty vicious. Pushing up agin the Blackfoot, why, that’s just lunacy. That’s not a very good analogy, but I tried. 22:49

@davidmuir7711 I appreciate it. History is nuts. It's hard to believe anything I wasn't there for. I will add that apparently everyone who knew this Howell character thought pretty poorly of him. Not one, with a kind word to spare. Had to get bailed out of jail to join this group... I bet his 'ol lady would tell a wholly different story. I like the part of the story, where the other guy pounded his ring into an ingot because his fiance was pissed he went on a drunken bender. Dude, perhaps your just an asshole.

Lol good stuff!🤣

Coming soon!

@@historyattheokcorral 👍 cool! Thanks!!

Ing.

Pulling.

The blackfoot were referred to as the most powerful plains native because of their fighting style and their numbers

AI in general need to be HIGHLY regulated, it's not regulated because it's a military weapon soon to be deployed wholesale against the American people. Enslavement: it's on the menu

Perhaps missing the forest for the trees?

"Waltz For Zaccariah" is the title

@@historyattheokcorral thanks man. Appreciate the work you do!

Lol.

🤔🤨

Lol I hope your just joking

And the Blackfoot were trespassing when they moved there from the east. Every group in history has been a colonizer at one point or another. Colonialism has been a staple of humanity for its entire existence, until recently. Funny how the people who changed that staple are now considered the only people who can be blamed for it. Same goes for slavery.

Is this another White guy Fact?

Minus the lever-action rifles. Replaced with the Pennsylvania and later the Hawken and Creamer-type rifles. Single-shot, muzzleloading, flint lock rifles. The lever action didn't see wide production until the late 1860s

@@tudyk21 Oh right! Thanks for putting on the right track. The proper firearm for a period piece movie. This script was about to go down Hollywood style.

@@amata415 Costner and Co. made the same error with “Dances with Wolves” Those lever action, cartridge rifles appear to be 1873-1877 models but the movie is set around 1866 or so. They also depict the Sioux as mostly affectionate, lovable, fastidiously clean, gentle, peace-loving people who are repeatedly attacked while sitting around camp, minding their own business. Please. They were some of the most formidable, ruthless and fiercest of Indians, like Comanches, Apaches, Cheyenne, Kiowa. Not friendly and lovable. Tough, mean, aggressive and fierce. Edit:I can’t remember the exact story in the movie about the white woman being “adopted” into the tribe, but I believe it was something like some “bad” indians or someone had killed her family and these nice people found her orphaned and took her in. Well, here in Texas it was quite common for children to be kidnapped, especially by the Comanches. They needed people to keep their numbers up. The famous Comanche chief Quanah Parker was the son of Cynthia Ann Parker and a chief. She had been kidnapped at 9 years old and became one of them. 2nd Edit:Winchester started producing the very first lever action rifles in 1867. So, it would have been a POSSIBILITY that he could have received a shipment of them far out west by 1868, maybe. Doubtful because it was so remote and reconstruction was the big thing going on so I’m not sure when the Army even officially adopted lever action Winchesters. Also, I still think the replicas used in the movie were later styled models. Those are big mistakes because it made a vast difference in the outcome of battles in the West. Paterson Colt 5 shot revolvers were first used by the Texas (Republic) Navy and Texas Rangers in the early/mid 1840’s and made it possible for 8-10 Rangers to fight 20-25 Comanches without all getting slaughtered as before. Some still got killed, but it helped a lot.

Their single shot musket you meant?

First-there is a section in ‘1873’ depicting such an attack on a wagon train that mortally wounds the daughter of the Dutton’s, her parents are portrayed by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, whom I felt rendered an Oscar worthy performance. I cannot at the moment remember the name of the actress that played their daughter, but she was great. Second- there were several notable lever action firearms before Oliver Winchester bought the patent rights for the Tyler Henry brass framed lever action rifle in caliber .44 rimfire. Henry had working examples when the War Between The States erupted in 1860-1861. The U.S. military ranking officers had rejected adoption of repeating arms then for a number of reasons, not the least of which was concerns over rank&file troops wasting valuable ammunition in battle. However, as many regiments/battalions were frequently raised by officers in their local areas, said officers of social status and wealth were free to arm their units with whatever weapons they chose to pay for, which resulted in a couple of units having Henry’s supplied to them, as long as the ammunition procured was purchased by those officers. Therefore a couple of units from Wisconsin and (as best I recall) a couple from Minnesota were outfitted with Henry’s, a certain game changer when most units were armed with single shot muzzleloaders. Another lever carbine that saw use on the northern side were Spencer’s, it’s maker drew inspiration from the patent of the Volcanic lever action pistol, whose patent rights were owned by Smith&Wesson. I believe the Spencer Carbine used a .40 caliber rimfire cartridge, but I would have to look it up to be certain, so don’t bite me if I am incorrect. After Winchester bought the Henry rights, the rifle used a spring loaded pivoting tubular magazine to hold fresh rounds of ammo and it didn’t have a wooden handguard, work was started on a later version that employed the King’s Patent side loading gate to push fresh cartridges through into the magazine; as well as a wooden fore grip to aide the shooter in not making contact with a hot barrel under repeated firing. John Moses Browning and his brothers subsequently designed the more modern lever rifles utilizing center fire cartridges and a couple of lever action shotguns that Oliver Winchester purchased the patent rights to and history was forged forever. I hope this bit of information helps to explain the ascension of lever rifles that helped tame the West.

A groups of strangers keeps coming to your town and camps there and takes your food and clothing, and eventually land and home, you allow it?

@leonpse You are correct that's why the Cherokee slaughter the Apache.

@leonpse And when they slaughter settlers hate returns to them.

Conservative displays diminishing testosterone levels in six words.

This is a human

Much more dangerous.

Awwww come on

why?

Nobody else has complained bro. 😭

when me and my friends would watch ur videos we'd always hear the miss pronunciation of the 4 bands in the blackfoot tribe. first ima say Peigan are the band that was split by the border in Alberta. and south peigan are the ones on the other side of the border, but they are the same people basically. to pronounce peigan and south peigan it is, Piikani (BEE GUN KNEE), aamsskaapipiikani (UMM SGAA BEE BEE GUN KNEE), and The bloods is, kainaa, (GAA NAAH), the most north band Siksika (SEH TS SA GAA) i tried to make the sounds of the word so u can understand it better. try pronounce the word fast then it'll sound good

Absolutely not. All sources linked in description. Nice name btw, we're big fans.

@@historyattheokcorral thank you!

Oh ok geez never thought of that
