I made a mistake and I apologize. I forgot to mention that when the Sioux were migrating westwards wars broke out with the Crow, the Pawnee, the Blackfoot, the Kiowa, the Omaha, the Ponca and the Otoe.

The Dakota was the parent group. The Lakota broke away around 1400 when two cousins wanted to marry but it was against the rules. They took people with them, changed the language a bit, and within 300 years were the largest Indigenous group on the Northern Plains. True story. I learned it as a student at Sitting Bull College.

Please do a Seminole War video !!, it’s the longest Indian war in US history & the only Unconquered tribe in the US who managed to keep their traditional way of life well into the 20th Century, it would be a glorious video!!!!

I love this channel! You never hear about “pre-contact” native history, which is a damn shame.

Fascinating story about American history, never get bored with the endless amount of timeless stories! Great piece of work and interesting pictures. Thanks for sharing your narrative!! A new Australian subscriber ❤😊

Nice content as always, as someone with close indigenous ancestry, its so interesting getting to know other indiginous nations. Greetings from Brazil 💛💚

Thanks for the video, me and a friend of mine are writing a book about the Souix, so we're learning all we can about them.

I had a wonderful vacation in early May. I road tripped through Wisconsin, Minn., and the Dakotas. Stopped at the Lakota Museum and the Crazy Horse Memorial along with visits to Badlands and Roosevelt NP along with Custer State Park. A very beautiful and educational trip.

I realize that you can only fit so much in to a 23 minute video, but there is so much left unsaid here.

Gold medal winners Billy Mills is a Lakota Native American! An amazing story and a pretty good movie too!

From since I was a little girl I have had a lifelong interest in Lakota history and culture. This is the best and most accurate (to my present knowledge) account I have come across in almost seven decades. Thank you . I also wish to thank those of you who commented and shared valid information and your own stories. Much appreciated.🤗💚🌻

U missed the major part where 2 groups split off and went north and eventually formed the Iron Confederacy AGAINST the Lakota and Dakota and everyone else. I am stoney Nakota Sioux/ Assisiniboine and we are Sioux but enemies which u missed and say we had happy relations with eachother

Hi, I have a request for the channel owner. Could you turn on the subtitle option? Unfortunately I don’t understand your spoken language well, but if I could read the English subtitles, I could understand the narrative that I’m sure is very accurate. Thank you for your kind attention. Hic ;-)

This is very interesting! Up to only a few weeks back, I never heard that there were people calling themselves the Nakota, and only believed that Dakota and Lakota were two different spellings of the same word. Imagine my embarassment, as I have been interested in Native Americans for decades... It is a shame how shallow the knowledge about these people and their cultures are spread, even centuries after their peak. Thank you for your videos!

They need to have indigenous history classes be mandatory in high school. Because we needed to know this history even if we’re not indigenous it’s still the history of this continent and I want to know more about it. I’m from Michigan.

As someone with indigenous ancestry from Mexico and Central America it’s cool seeing the history for our cousins in the north

Thanks for an erudite historical explanation of these great tribes. My heart bleeds at the acts of genocide by the American Government and its military. May they live in infamy forever.

The first, albeit simple, explanation of the Sioux-Ojibwe inter-relationship, and mixed culture, as my family lived and experienced it at our homestead on the shored of Leech Lake. As a child, Sioux and Ojibwe cultural practices were mixed together in my young mind.

Bison were killed by the millions which was just criminal imo.

additional info/speculation, and some of it is controversial, this is the best info i have found: Siouan lang group - Started near Virginia BC , moved to Mississippi R and split off: Michigamea tribe, moved & split to W to Minnesota/great lakes and Mississippi R around 1000 BC to 1 AD,then split into Assinibione/Nakota (moved to Manitoba Canada, pushing Cheyenne away from Great Lakes), [they are no longer considered Sioux by others] vs “the 7 council fires” (since 1300 AD) grouped into 3 language groups: 1. the Lakota/Teton (S. Minnesota) : Hunkpapapa, Oglala, Minniconjou - given horse by Cheyenne 1730s then moved west into Dakotas. Fought many wars vs USA - 1854-56 first Sioux war, 1862-64 Dakota war with Santee, 1863-65 Colorado war allied Cheyenne and Arapaho survivors, 1865 Powder River War, 1866-68 Red Cloud war allied Cheyenne and Arapaho, 1872 raids, 1873 massacre of US ally Pawnee, 1876-77 Great Sioux war including Little Big Horn allied Cheyenne, 1890-91 Ghost war including Wounded Knee. 2. W. Dakota (S. Minnesota) : Yankton, Yanktonai - temporarily forced to leave Great Lakes due to Beaver wars 1653 with Iroquois,returned then forced to move to Iowa/S. Dakota 1800 by USA, 1876-77 part of Great Sioux war including Little Big Horn allied Cheyenne. 3. E. Dakota (N. Minnesota, Wisconsin) :Santee, Sisseton - temporarily forced to leave Great Lakes due to Beaver wars 1653 with Iroquois, returned then forced to move to S. Minnesota by wars with Ojibwa also due to Beaver Wars 1700, move westward by 1862 Dakota war, some returned again. Plus other Siouan tribes - The Absaroke/Crow and Hidatsa tribes together in 1500 were east of Mississippi in Wisconsin as hunters, were pushed up the Missouri R probably during Beaver Wars, where now separated Hidatsa allied with the Siouan Mandan (who also moved from Mississippi) and Caddoan speaking Sahnish/Arikara (who traveled from east Texas) and settled as farmers with earth lodges; and the Crow moved further upstream into Dakotas also to farm in 1600s; with coming of horses (possibly from Shoshone) around 1700 the Crow moved/were pushed west, ending up in Montana/Wyoming as Buffalo hunters. The other Siouan tribes followed/were pushing. - Winnebago/Ho-Chunk and Iowa tribes started around Illinois/Wisconsin, they split Iowa went to Iowa and Ho-Chunk went to Minnesota after a 1620's war with the Potawatomis'. After this war, small pox and measles epidemics reduced the population of the Tribe from about 25,000 people east of Rocky Mnts to only about 150 people. The Ho-Chunk signed their first treaty with the United States in 1816 and signed boundary and cession treaties in the 1820's and 1830's. These treaties resulted in the loss of most of the tribal land. The tribe was moved from what is indian now northeast Iowa, to Minnesota to South Dakota, and finally to their current location in Nebraska where the Ho-Chunk Indian Reservation was established by treaties of 1865 and 1874. Meanwhile the Iowa tribe went to Iowa in 1600s where they split into 3 to become: the Iowa along Mississippi R. while the Otoe and Missouria tribes moved into central and north Iowa. -Omaha group / Dhegihan migration - Siouan, the Omaha, Ponca, Kaw/Kansa, Osage and Quapaw tribes all stated as one, the Hoga around the Ohio area prior to 1673, It may be that some groups traveled ahead into the Missouri/Cahokia area as early as AD 500. The breakup of Cahokia, and/or pressure from Eastern Natives, could have been the impetus to cross the Mississippi for good, and make the rest of the moves as detailed below. Alternatively, it could have been the breakup of Cahokia around 1250 that allowed the rest of the Dhegiha people to cross the Mississippi. The Ponca and Omaha settled in Nebraska, the Kaw in Kansas, the Osage in Missouri, while Arkansas became the homeland of the Quapaw. -Mitchigamea - Siouan, W. Virginia BC then moved to N Illinois [no longer considered Sioux by others], pushed to S Illinois by Beaver Wars push all tribes away from Great Lakes, then to N. Arkansas, joined the Illinois Confederation("Illinois/Inoca")(Mashkotêwa). The confederation tribes were: the Kaskaskia, Cahokia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Moingwena, Michigamea, Chepoussa, Chinkoa, Maroa, Coiracoentanon, Espeminkia, and Tapouara. In 1748-1800 fought war allied to Illinois Confederation vs Dakota (Ashâha), Ojibwa, Odawa, Potawatomi, Kickapoo (Kîkâpôwa), Meskwaki (Fox), and Sauk, along with the Shawnee(Shâwanôwa), Cherokee (Shanahkîha), and Choctaw (Châkitâha) from the Southeast - and was almost destroyed. -The Saponi, and the Tutelo - Siouan, moved from Ohio to Virginia and a little North Carolina, and with maybe Siouan/unclear the Manahoac, the Monacan, the Occaneechee; and after colonist pressure/war defeat moved to New York, later traveling further north into Canada. There they joined/merged with the language group Iroquois Cayuga tribe. Legend has it that the tribes were driven to Virginia by a hostile tribe from the NW Ohio area. (Cherokee/Erie?) - The Mosopelea, the Moneton, - maybe Siouan, unclear, stayed in the Ohio River Valley and West Virginia. - The Cheraw, the Catawba, and the Waccamaw - probably Siouan, moved from Ohio to North and South Carolinas. The Eno, the Wateree, maybe Siouan/unclear and are in the same area.

The two Battles of Guararapes, in the state of Pernambuco, northeast of Brazil, were fought between the Brazilian People: Indians, Blacks, Whites, Mixed Race People, and Portuguese against one of the greatest military powers of the 17th Century in the year 1635: The Netherlands. This victory decided the destiny of America... it also served as inspiration for the 4th of July of the People of the United States...

It would be interesting to hear a more in depth history of the Ojibwe

Did a prayer walk with the Lakota, of South Dakota, to re-change the name from “Harney Peak”, back to something more traditional and native- “Black Elk Peak”. Walked with/ joined in support for an ancestor of General Harney, who made it his life’s mission to make amends with the Lakota. They honored him and welcomed him throughout the years. Beautiful stuff we walked from the black hills Harney Peak, throughout a couple days. Those black hills are a very wonderful, spirit filled, and mysterious place. You can feel the history and the power of the land.

What is fascinating is the map, at 5:43, it is wrong. The Dakota were well north in to present day Canada. The MN town of "Warroad" was named such because the Ojibwe and Dakota fought there many times, and eventually once the Dakota were pushed south the area was simply known by the Ojibwe word or phrase denoting it as such. The Dakota raided well in to present day Canada too, there are more then one battles between the Cree (the Ojibwe's northern neighbor) and Dakota. The Dakota were pushed south and west in to present day eastern South Dakota and southern MN. The Lakota didn't make the Black Hills until the middle 1800's (they moved westward thanks to the Dakota moving in to their lands). There are multiple known Cheyenne camps throughout the Black Hills down to the Lusk WY area that prove that information. The roots of the Lakota were more south central and south eastern eastern, hand in hand with the Yankton and Yanktonai. The Nakota... an interesting and often hard to pin point the specifics because on that map they sit right where the Arikara are and have always been. There are Arikara villages known from all the way back to the 1300's in the area from Pierre in SD all the way north to the ND border. The Crow Creek Massacre from the 1300's (pre-Columbian), was certainly Arikara. Back to the Lakota... remember if there is a sleeper "war like" tribe or nation in the US it is the Lakota. People thing the Apache or Commanche as the more "war like", but the Lakota practiced outright genocide. The Pawnee, Kiowa, Ponca, Omaha, and a few other nations can thank the Lakota for their small numbers for the Lakota did their best to raid, ransack, and exterminate those tribes in the lower parts of present day SD, all of NE, and eastern WY. Take a look at Massacre Canyon in NE, quite reminiscence of Wounded Knee Massacre, but we never hear about it....

11:18 - What a sad, sad story with senseless escalation!!! Think there‘s something to learn from in it, for many, many people even today!

enjoyed this documentary *LIKED* and *SUBSCRIBED*

Across the Sioux and other Native American cultures, what were common ways leadership was decided? Was it more based around seniority, or merit/achievement, and were they appointed from above or by lower members of the community? I imagine it was a mix of these, but I'm curious which were most important. Looking forward to checking out more of the channel!

Dances with Wolves ~ The John Dunbar Theme ~ Thanks for sharing this Native American Documentary.

Great stuff, love to hear more about the Ojibwe

Best doc on this subject I have heard.

Very interesting documentary👍😀🇸🇪🌅..thx

The Lakota didn't settle the Black Hills until 1775-76 when they took it from the Cheyenne through war. The Arikara before them.

Хорошие видосы получаются, спасибо!

I met Black Elk Wallace at a Book signing .Lakota.. Unique..Centered..Large Man..WW2 wounded Veteran..He entertained the Japanese Imperials.

I like hearing about tribal warfare. The battles they fought against other tribes. The Comanche, I believe, were the biggest tribe.

Fascinating.

May they rise again and take back their nation!!

This was exceptional. I just was stunned when I heard that it was a cow that started this. And no understanding and no diplomacy and no attempt on the part of the settlers to negotiate or anything else. Well I will say I know some people that were riding the trail this year and there was a beautiful tribute to that. I can't say I'm a kind of authority on the history or anything else although I have a good friend who has made a lot of documentaries and is an authority but I will say this ... February 16th 2024 at 8:00 in the morning the Upper Sioux Agency Park will be closed to the public and turned over to the Dakota tribe. And that's history enough for me right now Thank you for this outstanding explanation and I look forward to February 16th.. ❣️🪶❣️🪶❣️🪶❣️🪶

Thank you for this ❤❤❤

really interesting video man

Whose land did they conquer when they traveled north?

The events described in this post have a parallel in North Texas at Fort Richardson. The following post is taken from the Texas State Parks department: Occasionally, these raids and patrols became bloody, as in the battle at the Little Wichita River in July 1870 and the Warren Wagon Train Raid in 1871. This raid led to the arrests of Satanta, Satank and Big Tree. Satanta and Big Tree were later convicted in civil courts and sentenced to hang; their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment.

Thank you ❤❤❤

I am part woodland Cree. It would be very interesting to hear your take on our origins.

My Sioux blood comes from Cresco Iowa into Minnesota. 1870s moved to black hills south east of Bell Fourche S.D .

The Yankton are, I believe a branch of the Dakota. The Nakota are the Assiniboine found in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Curious, was the movement westerly from the Great lakes region because of the Beaver Wars?

Nice

The story here in Minnesota is that there were plans to hang a lot more Indians & it was Pres Lincoln who commuted sentences & Reduced the number hanged to 38.

Ojibwe for life

The 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie was a pretty good indicator of things to come. It didn't hold much water. Allowing the US Army to act as policemen would be like getting a street gang to watch your house when you're gone. Grattan was a brevet (i.e. in name only) 2nd Lieutenant, which means he was an enlisted soldier given command authority, basically. He was cut from the same cloth as Fetterman and Custer (also brevetted) who thought they just needed a good troop of cavalry and they could ride through any land. All over a stinking Mormon cow.

They didn’t have horses until Europe brought them here. And why are they not colonizers? They moved to different territories stealing lands and committing genocide to other natives.

Sizi Türkiyeden izliyorum...Çok bilgi verici bir çalışma olmuş tebrikler...Kızılderili insanlar asla vahşi değildirler...

You should do a documentary on The Blackfeet Nation

I've been told by Lakota Indians that Sioux is a derogatory term for them. It was a slander for their tribe from another tribe. Meant close to snake in the grass. Anyone else hear of this? Is this accurate?

Love the history. Having trouble listening to this voice??

Brothers fighting brother

‘Where they hunted wild rice’ 🤦🏽‍♂️😂 this is interesting and im loving it, but i couldnt help myself.

14:15 firehorse bak❤️🇬🇧💯 14:31

Great :)

Excellent presentation. Most don’t realize how the Lakota got kicked out of Mn by the Ojibwa. Don’t hear them wanting their land back like they do of the whites, as it seems natives don’t recognize real estate law

When the Sioux moved into North and South Dakota, those areas were already occupied by other tribes. The Sioux drove out, enslaved and slaughtered the prior occupants. If you're gonna do a history show, include ALL the history.

I had a neighbor who was a direct descendant of Black Elk.

A population of tens of millions to hundreds of thousands is just such an plainly record

Really enjoyed it! They did it to each other, then we did it to them. Fallen humanity. When will it finally end? Thanks!

No, no, no. Lincoln did Not order the hanging of "all who stayed". That is a balled face lie. There were trials, where Souix were tried and convicted. Lincoln commuted the sentences of the majority. He did not commute the sentences of those guilty of rape and murder. Was it too much trouble to put that important detail in this piece?

Whats the name of that group when looking at them more long term?

Most people don’t know that our great chief Crazy Horse was light skinned, could grow facial hair and had wavy red hair, who’s relatives had no contact with white settlers.

It's sad the European white eye was so blind to The new world. God has a place for native Americans

So, this is about the history of a people that have been around for two to three thousand year's.... and of course most of the art shows the horse. It sure would be refreshing to hear more of the pre European arrival history and see more depictions of daily life before the horse, sense that would be over 90% of their history. Oh the wagon box fight on the Bozeman trail... the beech loading rifle was the Springfield second allin trapdoor and only three white men were killed it is estimated that over 100 Indians were killed or wounded. They didn't understand the speed of cartridge rifles and would use the tactics of charging when the rifleman were reloading... but the cartridge rifles were much faster than muzzleloader. And one man lived to tell about the little big horn.

I’m from Sioux

The Siouan people are in the south east of North America as well still to this day

Native American History

I'm Lakota and I acknowledge that we originally came from the Omaha, out of the Oceti Sakowin we are the only one's who speak the same dialect as them, Ponca also came from the Omaha, the Pawnee as well, the Crow and Pawnee are the exact same thing, Minnetaree got turned into Ree and then Ree got turned into Pawnee, I also have Pawnee blood through Sky Chief, and yeah I know what happened between the Sioux and Pawnee at that time but that lead to Lone Horn's peace, that involved the Crow, Lakota, Cheyenne, Chippewa, Cree and Gros Ventre, my existence comes from that, I'm Cheyenne, Lakota and Arikara (Arikara is Crow for those of you that don't know what you're talking about.).

👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇪

👍👍👍👍

WAHKANTANKA YOHEWAHSHEE YEHA HIHO NEHI🦬

Are they related to the Quapaw? Quapaw means people down river in Sioux, I’m told. And Omaha means, people up river, I’ve been told.

Lincoln intervened and prevented the hanging of many more warriors. The Military originally sentenced over 300 to hang. Lincoln insisted this be far reduced. That is very nearly the opposite of what you said. I was disappointed in that. Otherwise I learned a lot.

my kids are part Sioux on their minds side.

So the Sioux are suing for the Black Hills? Didn't they take that land from the Crow?

Hunted wild rice ? Must've been a formable plant lol 🤣🤣

Who are the ant people. Did it not say in one of the myths that they came out of the ground drawn out by loker, and his woman.

Its strange the way this history is taught - like the opening of the West was just some accident that lead to the violence. It seems pretty clear that by the late 1800s, 1) the Sioux Cheyenne, Cree, etc. did not want settlers in their land, 2) the settlers didnt really care what the indigenous folks wanted or respect their rights to their own territory, and 3) the US military was more than happy to come to the "defense" of the settlers. Overall, this really adds ip to genocide. Furthermore, it is a genocide recorded in historical documents and finally, current descendents of settlers - who greatly benefited from aggressively occupying indigenous territories - have no interest in any significant reparations or compensations. Imagine if the Sioux people controlled the Bakken shale oils?

i am part Sioux

Absolutely gorgeous

I’m an American aboriginal must respect ✊🏿

Dang. I knew the American natives were screwed but I never realized by how much. I believe they are still being screwed even now.

We know humans have been in N. America for between at least 15k and 25k years, but it seems all the tribes and groups referenced have at most 2000 years of history that can be verified to any degree, and many seem to only have about 1000 years. What was going one before that?

Do one on the Comanches the lord's of the southern plains and most feared Native American tribe bro

Did the Souix and Comanche ever go against each other?

Great video great history lesson, not white wash.

Floyd: Rumor was that when Lewis & Clark came thru they saw blue eyed Mandans. Guess the Vikings got around.

you ever thought of doing native tribes from other countries? ive wondered whats up with the aymaras and mayan family of tribes

The video skipped the part as to why the 31 Sioux were hanged in Minnesota.

Not mentioned there is 6000 Lakota and Dakota on 9 reserves in Canada 🇨🇦

Is this history according to the white man or according to the Sioux? I am sure there will be quite a few differences! Would love to hear both sides.

12:38 3 times on luna Sutton hoe mask,man,rook and wolf❤️🇬🇧💯 13:37

They are the American Indians mentioned in the Constitution and all the unfulfilled treaties

A military council sentenced over 300 Dakota to hang. Lincoln pardoned all but 38.
