I had ancestors who survived the 1622 war. They had a farm up river, near Henrico, neighbors to John Rolfe. One ancestor family owned the farm and employed another ancestor as their indentured servant. They appeared as survivors in the 1623 census taken. I had never heard of this war either until I started researching my ancestry.

It's actually from the Powhatan dialect that we get the word "tomahawk", which is still used today. Ironically, the iron/steel-bladed tomahawks that are so iconically associated with American Indians, were actually introduced by the Europeans. People often think of them as only being a Native American weapon, but they were used by the Whites every bit as much, if not more so. The word means something to the effect of "it cuts by striking".

Off topic, but I learned a few years ago that the Choctaw Indians, who were displaced from Florida and Mississippi to Oklahoma (Trail Of Tears) were on their lands in OK in 1848 when they encountered the arriving Irish, who themselves had fled Ireland after the Great Famine. The Choctaw were amazed at how emaciated the Irish were. They took pity on them and actually collected charitable donations from their tribe ($750) which they sent to Ireland. The Irish recognized the charity of the Choctaw people and in 2009 erected a statue (9 glass feathers) to them in County Cork. Choctaws, in return, made then Irish president, Mary Robinson, an honorary tribal leader.

You picked up that Powatan was organizing his empire as Al Capone did in the 1920s...or as Borgia did in medieval Italy....or as many other medieval princes...such as Henry replacing objecting nobles with loyal toadies . It doesn't help to cover up and whitewash such obviously objective views on one side because you find one side or the other more personally romantic or at the end in a weakened state. This was the elaborate and violent gang life the 17th cen Virginia Colony settlers stumbled into as a tiny minority on the Continent. They had their flaws too from our "enlightened POV" but so did Powatan and his rivals.

This story makes it clearer to me why the English/British allied primarily with the Iroquois, while up north, the Algonquians allied with the French. Iroquois and Algonquians were at war, probably for centuries, and the arrival of the Europeans just amplified that old conflict - before bringing it to an end around the late 18th - early 19th century.

@user-bu9ju5ic9h 8 ай бұрын

And when the American Revolutionary War ended, the Americans who remained loyal to the Crown left. Many came to Canada and are remembered as United Empire Loyalists. What gets overlooked is the other losing participants also came to Canada, namely the Iroquois. They filled the land that the Huron lived on before they got wiped out early by other native people. By modern terms, that makes the Iroquois and Loyalist “refugees”.

There were a number of times smaller native American tribes asked to go into the Spanish mission system so as not to be annihilated by the Comanche. Similarly, tribes that were victims of enslavement and human sacrifice by the Aztecs helped Cortez conquer Mexico.

And see how that played out for them. They made an alliance of interest, and after eliminating the Mexicans, the Spaniards were able to defeat the other tribes one after another. I just don't find these facts interesting.

Can i give a bit of advice on this video. Its so much nicer to hear someone's real voice in these types of videos. Even if you don't feel your voice is as polished as an AI , its just so much more engaging with a real voice. I've been nothing this recently with videos of this style format. Lots of them are heavy with AI generated images and an AI voice over which for me creeps into the " uncanny valley " territory where you become very aware you are listening to an artificial voice. Your image work is fantastic and i think the AI voice is a turn off. Think of it like this, if you were listening to an audiobook and you discovered that the voice wasn't actually the author it was effectively a robot its hard to unhear the robot. Im just trying to be helpful as i am subscribed amd find the topics you cover fascinating.

This commentary is very amusing, it seems to try and paint the British in a negative light but at the same time it admits to the facts that dont support this negativity. For example, the British steal Pocahontas and dont return her but she chooses to stay, becomes Christian and the chief of the tribe approves of this... er. "The Indian experience of the Rowanoake settlers was far from pleasant because.... the Spanish.... er. LOL please, if you want to slag us off then do better than this or if you want to tell it like we know it then try to avoid the forced negativity. Anyway its 2022 so what should I expect.

@elimartinez7704 5 ай бұрын

Well I mean I’m sure the kidnapping itself wasn’t very pleasant. Also it literally talks about how the marriage between her and Rolfe was a political alliance to achieve peace. Nothing new here. Also Pocahontas was her own woman with a brain, even if getting kidnapped wasn’t fun there were worse fates for a woman in her time so it also isn’t that out of the ordinary that she would choose to stay. There are LOTS of examples of that in history. Doesn’t really give insight into whether or not the English should be viewed in a “negative light,” especially considering that this video actually omits most of the wrongs committed by the English against the Powhatan.

warfare in the early days between the spanish and then the english and the native population did not really center around the gun.they were as you stated slow to load and very inaccurate.a society with greater numbers althuogh essentially without metal could use flint tipped bows to far greater effect than the primitive firearms they faced.the big factor was as cortez and raleigh both noted that the armour they wore made them unlkillable to anything the natives had except in close combat and even there with metal swords knives and spears the invaders had an edge.armour though was less than they wore at its peak around 1500 did decline with the advent of the gun but was still an integral part of colonist soldiers armoury until the early 1700s.indeed the spanish still wore breastplates and heavy helmets up until the 1820s and the mexicans carried on the tradition with cavalry for much longer.it was a technology the natives had no answer to.
