Cherokee Chief John Ross was the son of Daniel Ross who was born in the Highlands of Scotland. His his mother and grandmother were mixed-race Cherokee, under the matrilineal tradition, Ross belonged to her Bird Clan. His great-grandmother Ghigooie, a full-blood Cherokee.

One thing the so-called civilized tribes have in common is that they apparently accepted the names that the Europeans put upon them. Cherokee isn't the name they used for themselves. It's a Choctaw word meaning ancient people or mountain dwellers. Choctaw is a Spanish word meaning flathead. Seminole is Spanish for wild or untamed. Creek is English and describes people who live on creeks and bodies of water. Makes you think these people usurped other people's identities.

President Davis on learning that General Waite was still continuing the fight almost two months after Lees surrender : "he is the greatest confederate of all!"

Thank you Cherokee relatives for your Love

Thank you for your research. I've always wondered how the tribes dealt with the Civil War.

I don’t think guns where the reason why the fought using gorilla warfare I may be wrong but the natives always fought using gorilla war fare they didn’t fight like the idiot red coats that would stand face to face with the enemy and shoot at each other that’s asinine

My g g grandfather, Sgt. Charles Fleetwood, was at Fort Gibson in the 1830s! He served with Robert E. Lee, Sam Houston, and Jefferson Davis. Charles married a young Cherokee maiden (Lucinda) just off the Trail of Tears in 1834! I am part Cherokee, Cawtaba, and Choctaw.

Love her boldness

I am 25% Choctaw

The truth is coming out soon about the TRUE COPPER COLOR PEOPLE OF TURTLE ISLAND. One love. DANUWAANALIHI

Thanks for this. I enjoyed it very much. Do you have any other videos would like information? Thank you for your time and all your effort.

Great Video :^) Think You can find it on your spare time to read to us the book "103 Amazing Facts About The Black Indian In The Western Hemisphere"? It's only 32 pages. Shouldn't take long. It would be greatly appreciated.

the mound builders were the ancestors of the 5 civilised tribes

This is Gold

Wonderful Scholarship which needs to be part of American Education curriculum

The 5 civilized tribes fought on tge side of confederates, became slave traders, slave owners, slave hunters, and have a demonstrated time and time again anti blackness even with the seminoles kicking out their black ones. These 5 tribes in particular is an instance where black people, the enemy of your enemy is STILL your enemy

Blessings to the world ! Blessed are you MY sister ! Thank you.

picking the wrong (losing) side of war is catastrophic & Chiefs Demonstrated a knack for it (French Indian, revolutionary, 1812, Spanish, French, British contests). Civil is another example - Explanations, reasons don’t change the harsh reality - The loser has nothing to bargain with.

The 5 tribes were slave owners I didn't hear that mentioned.

Amazing.

Minko means Chief

Some of My Uncle's fought in the Civil War . Northern.

Chickasaws were the last tribe to surrender during the Civil War to the federal government. I believe if the south won the Civil War they would of treated them better then the Yankees. Bc of what the federal government had done to my tribe I today do not support the US government at all. I proudly Commend what the confederacy did to stand up to the government and help the chickasaw s. So today I am proud to claim that heritage.

Google, "The Trail of Tears", by Aquilla Ose Fleetwood, youtube!

Not that North or South makes a difference to me. It's more about Norse & Native Americans for my quest.

Iroquois are the 5 civilized tribes who helped in the revelutionary war. Friend of George Washington. The tribes are: Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, and Mohawk. Led by Chief Skenandoah and Polly Cooper. Our government came from these people. Not Cherokees. But that's okay. We are all related. BTW, nobody mentioned anything about the Tuscarora.

The Europeans did have nothing and did not gives us moors not Indian this land is not India it's Morocco

it appears that the 5 civilized tribe and the Europeans might be the same people.

I had family in this. :"""(

Look more like Mestizos

when we open I eyes from praying they had the land we had they Bible See how they play us wake up my ppl

"Civilized warfare...?" Monsters. Lizards

God bless "the Cherokee Lincoln killers" 13 separate companies with that name... Seems like not everyone love old abe

Imma Cherokee Indian in America

8 thousand slaves huh, an 5 thousand Indians explain that.

Half Breed European Indian Chiefs go figure...😂

civilized? all natives of north america were civilized

lol

Atlantis? Okay...

Where the real stuff some were black

Native American was already in America the first sign of humans life was in Africa, ppl travel on boats for centries everyone came from Africa.

Yes mixed races did exist, but it is driving me crazy to listen to her dance around the fact that the Africans had boats and did export and import goods at that time. The south is so hot that there is no way these people weren't dark skinned and had strong African decent as well.🧐 The black natives with pure blood and good land knowledge were made slaves.

Wow, im sorry but whoever was the presenter needs to go through cultural diversity education, cultural sensitivity training and actually go speak to some individuals and primarily the elders of these tribes. Her overall relaxed and adolescent nervous type tone of speaking, incorrect description of events, repeated use of harmful stereotypes and phrases just shows that her research was either just cut & pasted from old racist literature or AI/chat gpt generated. Slow down…. take a breath… become still in your thoughts and body…and go listen to elders of those specific tribes. Listen A LOT more, and talk for Indigenous peoples A Lot less

mostly lies.

I love passion you're very passionate I appreciate that. I have a couple of comments to make regarding what you have to say. In the US civil war the native Americans as is their right and is appropriately positively correct. Had to decide who to believe. And no matter who they picked the governments both intercourse the native Americans. That's something that's been going on for what is it now? 300 years 400? Yet in your passion it certainly seems as though you justify the economic considerations behind slavery. So I ask you how do you want to be a slave would you like it do you want to be someone's slave? And that's the bottom line here because the reasons you justify and both governments screw the Indians the Indian the native Americans have been screwed by the government ever since before the US became a country. That is a fact. However during US civil war. You seem to justify the economic reasons behind slavery so that leads me to leave that you favor slavery so what are you worth? How much do you think someone should pay to make you their slave? Unfortunately in your passion you seem to support the idea that the economic reasons behind slavery are just viable good and worth fighting and dying over. What do you have to say about that? That was the biggest message I got from you and your presentation. That if it's to your economic advantage. Slavery is a good thing. It's a perfect reason to die for. It's great to chase the buck that matters more than anything else. If that wasn't your point why did your passion come out in favor of it?
