Im 33 and from ontario. My history textbooks in school maybe had a page or 2 at best on metis in the "native" section of the book, so thank you. Knowledge is power

My great 7times grand father was one of the two scouts who got away at the battle of the Grand Coteau. My friend Chi Mike Keplin was raised by his grandparents who themselves were raised by their grandparents, who had been present at the battle of Grand Coteau. He was raised on stories of this battle 2nd hand.

Thank you for this fantastic production! And the narrator is perfect.

Thank You for this great documentry, didn't know all of this happened in Canada, still learning things at my age, we were not taught this in our American History

Fascinating video on the complexity of the time.

Some of my ancestors were among the Selkirk settlers. I hope that modern day Canadians can learn from our past and current conflicts, and create a nation where we can all prosper in peace.

You lost me at, “ The natives traveled to reduce the stress on their environment “. Really??? It was all about survival. They followed the heard of buffalo because they had to.

Interesting history unknown to me. Thank you so much for sharing.........well done!

Thank you so much timeline❤️ you’re videos and constant uploads get me through my workdays

me, yelling to the missus: "honey, i wanna be metis now!" "and what about being a kossack?" "that was last week!" "ok, but can you at least use some of your mountain-man gear for it?" i am ofc not metis, but dangit, this was inspiring. much love from across the pond!

Fantastic channel! Thank you!

He has such a deep voice :)

Great series, lots of knowledge.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

hellos from British Columbia 😋 hope all y’all doing real good. It is important for us to learn about the first nations of canada because not a lot of people talk about it and teachers, they don’t either. i am hoping we can teach all around the world about the first peoples of the lands.

Very good stuff. Thanks

Treat.... been really enjoying nations at war

Good show not sure if I would call it a documentary. It had its point and some vague references but over good. I am sure it would take a lifetime of research to get to all the details.

I love this series, thank you!

The best channel interesting ever good real information about history world

I'm a Scot and I love their flag as it is the Scottish Saltire or St Andrew's Cross but turned into a Celtic infinity knot. I've never seen it before, but the Scottish and Celtic influence is immediately obvious to a Scot.

Thanks!

Very informative

This series is THE best I have ever come across for approaching the history of the West and its Indigenous Nations in a factual manner. As the great-great-granddaughter of Sàmi man who was driven out of Norway through its program of forced relocation and reeducation. He found a new place with the Selish-speaking tribes of the sacred Flathead Lake region of Montana. I have always felt honored that the wonderful grandmas and aunties of that nation were loving and kind to me in spite of my ancestors. I wish more people knew the truth and the deep suffering European Americans have caused for the priceless Indigenous People. They are the guardians of all that will keep us alive. ❤

Very interesting video thank you 😊from Scotland 👍

I read a book from 1940s about this. Great video! Thank you!!

My husband, know deceased, was a Manitoba Metis. My boys qualify for their Metis Card too. He & his family are from the White Horse Tribe, I think . Between Winnipeg & Portage La Prairie. I use to live at the south point of Lake Manitoba, the Metis hamlet was called St. Ambroise. Such a different life compared to city life Oshawa, ON. No problem for me as I camped a lot in my life above ground & we had, I have know the RV we bought back in '83. It's a '67 Trevco, fiberglass with a Dodge 315 motor. Excellent on gas. Anyone want to? Thought I'd ask! It'll never rust.

My Great Grandmother was a Metis My Great Grandfather was Scottish. She was a very nice looking young woman!I have photos of my family starting around 1900!

I’m a direct descendant of Louis Blondeau, he gave testimony at the semple trial which led to Metis being acknowledged as a distinct nation and charges being dropped. Proud family history.

Thanks, I'll watch this again. I live close to the action described. 100 years later

Savages is what they called my ancestors in the history books. This was in the 1990's.

You are very intelligent.Thank you very much for taking the time .l am not able to order or correspond. I am handicapped. God established your works 🙏 🙌 l will pray for you.

Thank you for another good vid. I hope you have something on the S.E. U.S. tribes

My great grandfather was a drummer boy at the battle of Batoche and then served in his 40s in WWI. He was gassed in the Somme and my mum said he would scream about gas almost every night telling his troops to put on masks.

I like the Host's voice.

interesting video. Living in the UK this portion of Canadian history is new to me.

This has to be THE BEST series on the history of the Aboriginal Peoples. No Hollywood BS . Straight forward facts .

I am glad those days are gone. Today we can all live like equals.

14:39 that's my great great great great great grandfather My great uncle just sent me a document in the mail about him as a graduation gift. I remember my mom calling my grandma and my grandma mentioned something about her great great grandfather or uncle being a chief. Just surprising to be related to a historical figure

Metis and proud French native and Scottish NWT born and raised

Good video

I love this channel. I love history ❤️

Yellowboy at 15:59. At least 20 years to soon. But anyway this is a great documentary. Living in Denmark, Europe for my whole life, this is very interesting to watch.

THANK YOU FROM Germany Europe

Women were the "unsung" heroes of many an old trade route and its hardships and many a cold, old age of yore.

Braw. Thanx

Let's go watching amanzing channel congratulation

It would make my day to hear Native Americans talking about a buffalo scran or having Clootie dumpling. Now I’m hungry.

Nomadic tribes did not do so because of some innate knowledge, virtue or ideal of sustainability: rather it was far more simple, they were nomadic because their life sustaining resources were migratory. All other tribes that had fixed resources, thus had fixed homes.

Métis is pronounced Métisse... unlike Paris. At least that's how 19th century Métis pronounced it. Bonjour du Québec.

The battles we are facing will make us strong.people let us study history. Our past will define our 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 present.

Can you tell the history of the Navajo story?

My great-great grandfather was Pierre Sauvé, brother to Charles who went to claim Louis Riel's body. Pierre was married to Gabriel Dumont's adopted daughter (a cousin's niece) and I have always wondered what events transpired, and how my grandpa's grandpa Alex and his brother Joseph ended up at Carlisle Indian School. Alex returned to Manitoba and married the granddaughter of Jean Baptiste Lagimodière and Marie Gaboury, and 1st cousin to Louis Riel. But somehow we ended up completely stripped of this history with shame. My grandpa's aunt on his mom's side told me that my grandpa's aunts and uncles never talked about their origins to avoid discrimination. I think the only thing that survived was hamburger soup, which we called goulash, and barley soup. Anyway, all of this to say that I wish I knew the story of why went our way, as Gabriel Dumont traveled with the Buffalo Bill Show. The dynamics of this family breakup would be so interesting to explore. And I really wish I had a chance to connect with the culture was younger, but my migratory, nature-loving life make a ton of sense in hindsight, and I feel very Métis at heart.

14:38 I thought he played the piano on that political show :)

Oh I love this show lol

Shouldn't "Black Jacket" be driving a neighborhood ice cream truck, selling Eskimo Creme Pies to children?

Amazing episode. You can't understand Canadian history without understanding the history indigenous nations. These nations were, and I would argue should still be, the governing and legislative states that made up Canada.

The Battle of Seven Oaks was in 1816 not 1718.

The Metis fort near Towner is Fort Wilkie that was destroyed, the Dakota Village that was attacked was really a trader camp of the Deloria's that had married into the Lakota Blackfoot Sioux. The Yellowhawk family have this in their oral history as that is where they found Julia (WasicuWin) Deloria 1822-1917 BIRTH 1822 • Territory Dakota, USA DEATH ABOUT 1917 • Armstrong County, South Dakota. The war was really a fight between traders.

Ojibwe- Metis here. It's true. We loved bullying the Sioux lolz.

Battle of Seven Oaks was 1816, not 1718.

I visited Kamloops this summer. What an amazing place and surrounding area. What a homeland to have. I can only but imagine how beautiful the area was in the times before Europeans arrived. Not hating btw. Time marches on and brings with it irreparable change. But still.. before the modern era, the land of the Secwepmc, must have been an amazing place. I am interested in what form their ancient warfare with their neighbours took. Did they fight pitched battles, or was it more like raiding and ambushing each other during vulnerable moments? Or a little of both? Anybody who knows, please tell me! I’m interested in that.

That little blurb, at the end of this excellent example of our shared history about her feelings about 150 Mile. M y Father acquired some 10 +1/2 acres up around Canim Lake, in the '70's I was always aware that I was having fun on stolen ground, living on borrowed time and if I saw somebodies thumb stock out, day or night, I would be sure to pick'm up.We share a heritage. There lies the true meaning of reconciliation. Sure, it's easy for me to say since I'm of the so-called Victorious Ones but at what cost did we achieve this ? Revenge does not lead to reconciliation, only to more hurt.

My step son was taking general education courses to complete his high school diploma. I looked over his shoulder and this general education book had reduced WW2 to 2 paragraphs. Can't be a proud citizen if they're hiding the history, both good and bad, of your country. Can't learn from the mistakes that were made so as not to repeat them. That shows major dumbing down of the next generations of citizens. Very sad.

Another part of our history of this country that wasn't discussed or taught in any of my history classes Until we as a whole acknowledge,accept & teach/share/speak the truth we will not cannot move on grow adapt evolve as TRUE human beings of This GREAT USA Amazing doc Thank you for this & other documentaries you've done Peace love and light to all

Who is the narrator? I like his voice.

Like 61 because as Always Watch the Perfect Videos,Good News Big Thank's for Your Effortts From Your Friend on YTube

Some meti took to the sea and became pirates, hence the expression; yaaar matey!

I am Métis from Manitoba, decendant of cuthbert grant

My Ancestors ❤

super merci des infos👨‍🦳👨‍🦳🌸🌸🧙‍♂🧙‍♂🤗🤗💝💝 ABÉNAKI

These people moved to hunt and gather, not environment reason I believe

25:25 5k years ago? Soo 3000 b.c? Woah.

My 5thGG was Cuthbert Grant.

💔🖤

Had to replay the opening a few times. How he pronounced "Pembina" really threw me off.

Grant is a Scottish name.

My mother's Grandmother always considered herself to be Ojibwa and French now I'm wondering

Why are there still ice caps ?

You left out Louis Riel? There is even a holiday in Manitoba where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet.

Went to school with Cree and Metis. Later worked in Northern Manitoba reserves. Have had many opinions, always interested in Indians, worked for Manitoba Hydro. Saw hydro electric dams wipe out old towns/settlements. Kind of tragic. Booze/drugs, Am not a bleeding heart. Know a few guys/girls who made it out.

Yet Metis were still seen as higher then Inuits who in that matter were seen as above First Nations even today First Nations are at the very bottom of the racial hierarchy within Canada yeah.

Bound to true indigenous peoples heritage by genetics 🧬 ✊

I didn't know my Metis heritage was so rich!!!! Natives still hate us Metis to this day

Great that such an early precursor of s & g's bridge over troubled waters existed such a long time ago.i was searching for a book called absolute beginners and can't think of anything else it was called. it was about a naive youth very like me when I was a teenager who falls in love with an older girl and meanwhile has innocent fun with his school friends..

God bless all those who were minding their business just living life and were subject to violence, killed, raped, tortured, enslaved, diseased, imprisoned, ostracized, stolen from and mischaracterized. Amen

Why would you spend 2 days to kill one man?

Just 6 years after that major battle in 1857 Sheffield fc were created ,the world's first soccer team Sheffield England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 just saying ⚽

The flag is the same as FB new logo.

The narrator of this looks just like the Philippines' President Rodrigo Duterte.

what happend to Louis Riel?

This documentary has many wrong dates.

7:09 narrator says 1718. This is off by 100 years. 1818 is correct

Buffalo leather was European wars for a half a century

1)peter 2:12🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤟👌👑👑👑👑👑Jesus Boy Name Jesus Lords is God Loved

A lot of Scots Orkney Islanders had native wives but returned with children from the unions to Scotland !

The narrator sounds like Nazir - from the Dark Brotherhood.

Organized and disciplined l must be clothed with The whole Armour of God.

The population of Canada in 1840 was 430,000 with 80% living in the East of Ontario, Quebec and Maritimes . How can they be fighting over space in the vast west? Even today if you car ride out to western Canada you go for miles without seeing people. The city of Tokyo Japan has the population of Canada today.
