Directed by Sally Thompson
If your only view of the "discovery" of the American West is through the lens of the Lewis and Clark expedition, you're missing out on many thousands of years of human history. Native Americans have a very different perspective on the Lewis and Clark expedition. In this film, Native Americans from several western tribes speak intimately about the history of North America, their own role in it, and how the Lewis and Clark expedition was not the "beginning" of the history of the American West.
ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
Dr. Sally Thompson has spent over thirty years working with native tribes of the West. She has worked as an archaeologist, ethnographer, and ethnohistorian. As founder of the Regional Learning Project, she oversaw a team of specialists with a focus on regional history, geography and culture, interviewing over 200 elders of 37 tribes and used the results to produce several documentaries and three websites. More recently, she worked with traditionalists from the Kootenai and Blackfeet tribes on a book about their traditional seasonal grounds through the Crown of the Continent, with a focus on Glacier National Park. PEOPLE BEFORE THE PARK is due out in 2014.

Fascinating tales. I am from an European city established around 1200. The Lewis and Clark (and Sacayawea) expedition took place between 1804 and 1806. Image. Just read Anne Lee Waldo 700 pages book which describes the L&C endeavour through Sacayawea's perspective. Highly recommendable.

It made me tear up when the Shoshone woman said the spirits are lonely because they aren't there anymore. I used to talk to the spirits where I lived. There were so many stone tools in the creekbeds, I knew they were there. I knew it was someone's home before it was mine. I liked to imagine what they did and how they lived. I would imagine spending time with them and learning the secrets of the land. They're all gone now. It's sad.

I have migrated back and forth from the far reaches of what we call western Washington my birthplace in what we call SW Montana for the past 25 years. I have always enjoyed the journey, particularly when i take my time, get off of the freeway, spend days instead of hours driving to the Continental Divide. I feel the spirit of the rivers, the amazing geology and the varieties of climate from Sea to ther rivers source. To begin to understand native peoples stories of their love and protection of all things is very beautiful. This video is very well done. I will always try to see this land from the perspective of our ancestors who cared for and loved this earth. Capitalisim, colonialism and other forms of earthly destruction must end. Power to the native peoples and all of those who cherish life in all forms.

Native Indians lost almost everything in life - but yet the black people want everything given to them freely where they have no right. It belongs to the indigenous peoples of North America. They need their land back to protect it from over oil fracking and of natural gas which is destroying our lands. 100,000's of fracking wells are in the southern states and causing earthquakes. Man destroys all! Salmon eggs are sold to Japan for a profit while there are few salmon eggs left to bring the salmon back into our streams - and it is blamed on over fishing - not true!

At long last at least some of the white tribe are coming to understand the "spirit" of the land (and Earth and Universe) and the need to love and protect it - which is the essence of "spirituality." This part of the white tribe now recognizes the hubris and selfishness and ignorance of our own forebears and appreciates the superior wisdom of indigenous peoples around the world in this regard. Those who truly understand the Lewis and Clark Expedition are fully aware that it would not have succeeded without the able and kind and honorable assistance of native peoples along the way. Nor can we fail to respect the unfriendly response of such a "trespass" by those few natives that L&C encountered who keenly recognized what their presence portended. It is with both deep gratitude to L&C's friends along the way, and sorrow for much of what came later, that we from this segment of the white tribe now regard this historic adventure. The full and complete story should be taught in every school.

Very interesting to hear what all of the humble Native Tribe Members are talking about in this Video. Most of the new arrivals coming from Europe to the New World would not have survived the first winter without the help of the Native American people. Most of the white arrivals would have starved to death without being given food as well as seeds and instructions by Native Tribe people regarding how to raise Corn, Squash, Beans and dried Meat and dried Fish as well as many other eatable goods for sure. Those who helped a lot were pretty soon later betrayed, killed, or just chased and driven out of their homes and precious land. And all of the U.S. Presidents were directly involved in one of the biggest blunder and land grab and unjust behavior ever since. It had started with the first President and it has not yet ended with the latest recent President which is part of the ongoing blunder and the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline issue in S.D. affecting the Lakota Tribe as well as the ongoing cheating attempt by the federal government against the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.

Gorgeous country! Great society in all aspects. I know of no better way to live. How exhilarating it must have been to hunt buffalo with a bow from horseback!!! There have been many, many times I've sat quietly on a hill overlooking the Marias (found a hide scraping stone one of those days and left it there), or stood waste deep in the Gallatin, or walked in the fall cottonwoods of the Missouri and considered quietly how nice it must have been for you.

White people (Columbus) brought horses to the new country. You can either hunt on horseback with natives or you can hang out with them before "first contact"....you cant do both. Before that, they started forest fires that burned uncontrolled and they ran whole herds off of buffalo jumps. Come up to our beautiful state and look where the remains of buffalo are 20 feet deep at the bottom of these cliffs...realize that there was no way to keep all of that meat (the average buffalo is about 900 lbs) and most of it was wasted. Whole herds killed in one day.....whole forests burned.

And I have no doubt many lies were nurtured to conceal and temper the atrocities committed by the white poeple of the time. Anyway those times are gone, but the need to treat our fellow men, regardless of race and colour, and nature, with respect, is not, and neither is the karma that very indiviudal has built up through the ages. Now atonement awaits us all in the enormous storm that sweeps the earth, as according to their prophecies, the only question it seems to me is will there be any men still standing at end of it in about 40 years time, for what a man sows, he must surely reap.

If you read the journals (and it sounds as though many of the speakers did not), you will see that the "gangs" of tribes warring on, murdering, enslaving and stealing from each other, not to mention the utter poverty, disease and ignorance they found, was nothing to be nostalgic for. Many tribes were starving and had nothing, either from natural or human disasters. Not to say the native cultures were not of any value in themselves, and many very noble, but they were as varied as any could be. The tribe that L&C regarded highest were the Nez Perce, but they were very sympathetic to the plights of the tribes and "those pore people". The sad part of the story is that the good will L&C left with most of the tribes was destroyed, almost inevitably, in the clash of American and native tribes. The largest tribe won, as always. It could have been so much better. But then it wouldn't be history.

These are beautiful people, but there is nothing that they earned or deserved by virtue of their ancestors. Life changes and lands are conquered. Certainly every indigenous tribe understood that all land of the earth are obtained and lost by force and the ebb and flow of civilization and barbarism clash. Even Mother nature who they so loved and worshiped was a cruel taskmaster too. All the idealism of this video, while beautiful, is manufactured in the mind of those unable to move beyond their past. All history has shown that life moves past each and every one of us. The most liberal, progressive, multicultural, revolutionary sympathetic to the native people, are all the same to those who would claim absolute right to the pre Columbus Americas. To them we are all trespassers, abusers, domineering criminals who should renounce our property, land and government. Compelling, but ultimately pointless.

According to spiritual laws though a man must reap what he sows, so far from pointless, as are people's reactions, which betrays the state of their souls. No genuine human being can look upon the desecration of the native indians and be anything less than distraught, especially when one sees both the damage done to their ancestors, and mother earth. It is said that not even a leaf can fall without it evoking some form of accountability in the laws of Creation, and within the wheel of reincarnation somewhere are these greedy, murderous despots, awaiting their fruits, maybe even on the reservation, and if one gazes over mother earth once more, then we see them everywhere now, abusers in many forms. Thus, now the indians prophecies must be fulfilled, and unless people develop a sense of caring and respecting others, their lands, and mother nature, then they will not be permitted any further incarnations and the earth will be destroyed. This is justice, and most certainly not pointless, for why do we live here but to develop the character of our spirits, so that through joy and sorrow, we may one day leave this wheel of reincarnation and ascend to our real home, Paradise, where eternal life awaits those who make a point of at least noticing these events, and perhaps shedding a tear or too, for it was truly despicable what the white man generally did, and still does, on almost all levels, although this malady is now spread throughout all the races. Man has fallen deeply, as was forewarned! And it cannot but lead to spiritual death, even if people are unaware of their spiritual indolence that begets the deep slumber of their spirits, which are entombed within their material desires. Man was meant to be a servant, who served his Creator and thus became a responsible steward of the earth, but instead became a desecrator of all things inwardly beautfiul, as he sought domination over the earth, and thus over God and His laws. And this intuitive sense of beauty is where we need to begin, by bringing it and the spiritual sense of balance into all our activites, and to open up to the grace and power of the Great Spirit, for He will guide us, if we but listen to His hearkening call by opening up our spirits. Let there be Light!

@@tilesetter1953 In these end days we live, as clearly they are as prophesied by the native tribes of the Americas, I feel it is about recognition and discernment, so that the necessary changes can be made. Therefore, a certain amount of self-reflection is needed, but with the spirit and intuition, which is always linked to truth and the laws of Creation, as on higher planes and of the Great, or Holy Spirit, if you will. Then the wrong ways can be discarded, and a bridge built to the new ways , which will far more resemble the ways of the indigenous tribes, than those of the white race, although greed, lust for power and other evil traits have spread akin to cancer into all races now. This I feel is the key to the history and culture of the native indians, and the promised Apocalypse along with the possibility of a new earth where the lands will be returned to the indigenous tribes, and when the great Creator's hand will be revealed and reign on earth, finally, across all the remaining lands. However, it is for men to bring this about by transforming their mindset, and way of living, for they must now surrender thenselves completely to the spiritual powers that constantly stream through creation, and descend upon the earth. Generally speaking, man has been ignoring them and so does not absorb of his daily bread, so he becomes weaker as he is divorced from the power that could sustain and support him. So then he seeks to compensate for this weakness by desiring only the materialistic things in life, along with the heart of a woman, and thus his perception narrows as he sins against the laws of the spirit, and so he cannot see his wrongs, for he has then become a rapacious beast who strives for more and more lands, women, and the wealth of others, and takes it through deceit or violence, and does so now without a conscience. The greatest crimes of this nature were perpetrated against the native indians, even to an extraordinary psychopathic degree, as you rightly said, and it seems good to grieve these events, for perhaps by doing so we forgive ourselves in some small or great way, for we know not our past deeds of former lives, although maybe such feelings are the longings for our previous way of living, and a desire to live this way once more. This then is the propesied Fall of Man, symbolically represented by the taking of the apple due to the sensual and sexual attraction of the woman, with all the evil karmic effects and ties that come with this form of idolatry, and they must now be relinquished by changing, or we will fall without trace into eternal perdition, the worst thing to befall the human spirit. This is why the history of the native indians, including their prophecies, is so vital to all our survivals, spiritual and physical, as it makes possible the rebirth of man and the earth , but not... as you rightly said, in the form of retribution against the white man, or any other race for that matter. Vengeance will be God's alone through the law of cause and effect, for each and every man and nation. Besides who knows where those Indians are now, maybe, as the book Return of the Bird Tribes prophesied, they may have reincarnated amongst the white and other races. Thank you for your thoughtful, kind and discerning thoughts on this matter, and blessed be, in these, the darkest hours and days of an erring mankind!

The person responsible for it was British General Geoffrey Amherst.

Who were the first ones here? Did the first peoples come from Asia or from somewhere else? We all have fallen natures so nothing will ever be perfect here. That being said, yes, the humanity of the indigenous peoples is often ignored. Fr. DeSmet tried and in some cases succeeded in helping the native peoples to transition to a new way of life. Bad habits and ideas of some of peoples coming here ruined any attempt to help all the indigenous peoples. The result was the near annihilation of the indigenous peoples. Hopefully the future will see a realization of the value of what the indigenous peoples can still give to this country.

Many years ago in my youth I found a cave high up on Saddle Mountain which went deep inside that mountain. Very few if any know where this place is located. In the 1800's a miner kept going to Seaside Oregon with bags of big beautiful gold found in a cave which he said was 18 miles east of the town. People kept trying to follow him to the cave but none has ever found it. Some believe that he was killed by Indians. When I was looking at a big rock cliff I saw hundreds of birds and bats flying into the cave. I kept watching this area and realized how deep that cave went into the mountain. Who knows what that mountain hides to this very day. Perhaps the cave is protected by the bear or Bigfoot - beware.

@@wecandobetter9821 there is somebody always at the ready with their “what about isms”. As if all atrocities and intent are equal. Almost all tribes practiced a form of blood law which in effect limited violence to some degree. Tribes didn’t fight wars of attrition with each other, though colonization tended to turn that on its head. Sure talk about middle and South American tribes and their practice of human sacrifice. Reprehensible for sure, but for subordinate tribes it was a twisted form of taxation and not a means to wipe other tribes out. Not sure what he is talking about what the Comanche did to the Apache, they didn’t really fight over Territory and mostly were allies of sorts. During the Comanche Wars they did commit some of the most reprehensible acts of violence and torture, but they were defending their homeland. Would you sit by passively and let outsiders invade your homeland and threaten your way of life? But this doesn’t even get to the question of why Comanches even exist in the first place. They were a relatively new tribe, an offshoot from northern tribes who moved south and started absorbing other tribes into theirs. The displacement of tribes from their native lands and pressure from colonization trickled west and caused most of the tribal conflict we know about.
