Thanks so, so much for these kind words, Jake. Joe (the artist/editor) and I made this video in part because, like you, we couldn’t find a video that presented the matter in full. There’s a sort of tragic beauty to the plains, accented by very disturbing scenes of violence, that gets lost when people describe this history on a macro level- maps and euphemistic allusions to “removals” of American Indians, I think, lose something very human in translation.

The way you speak it sounds more like you are from Popular or WP.

Yup. Neighboring tribes also carry on your traditions as well. Because many of us smaller tribes lost our ways

It is not easy to see the whole picture of any people, but I do know that the plains tribes received knowledge of the Great Spirit from a Viking who traversed southwards from his home further north, suggesting present day Canada. The Arikara were the main centre for this spirituality, which spread quickly to the Crow and Sioux. The mediated text that I have states that these tribes had seers, and seeresses, who from time to time, made proclamations to them at the behest of the Great Spirit. The main one they were meant to spread to other tribes was announced one eve by a priestess called Ray, if my memory serves me well. She said that white men were coming in their ships in the near future, and that the red men were not to let them farm their land, neither to mix with them, only to let them hunt, and to trade with them. Especially they were not meant to drink the fire water they would be offered, or coinage they used, nor to interbreed, for if they did, it would spell their end. Many tribes would have heard this warning, but their faith in the Great Spirit varied, and so they became divided. The white man used these divisions to incite one tribe versus another, including scouting and fighting for them. Many high spirits were sent to some of the more spiritually orientated tribes, to bring prophecies, wisdom and spirited resistance to them, so as to enkindle the spiritual path, for not just the people back then, but for now. This is due to the coming Apocalypse that will soon pervade the earth, caused by the dearth of spirituality of modern men. I too was there among the Lakota, and I am pleased that at least a few people are awakening to the truth, amidst this dire need for imminent change, through which men may save themselves, their relatives, and the earth. It is that serious, mark ye well, and the US will suffer soon through a nuclear holocaust. All this was seen long ago, and since men have not changed, it must now come to pass. Thus, by following sound spiritual ways, we fight for our future lives, and an ecologically sound earth, which will be rebuilt by the servants of the Creator, the many nature beings, but we have to change in sufficient numbers to warrant this gift. If we can do that, then those people shall be permitted to complete their Wheels of Reincarnation upon a reborn virgin earth about four centuries from now, and onwards. This will allow these people to perfect their spirits, and thereby attain to Salvation in Paradise, which lies high above this earth, and is our one true home, from whence we came long, long ago, in order to awaken through the experience of life on earth. Sadly, a large number of men became too attached to a materialistic way of living, which affected his brain, thus why in the old tribal days, we called these the ways of the white man, which was and still is a mental disease, that spreads with uncanny speed like a cancer, blighting the path of the victim, along with those who come into contact with him. Let this be a warning to all that to let your little lamp glow brightly, beware of those who would dim it, and thereby soil your soul, for they would drag you into the depths with them, so that you are never seen again.

What are you talking about? The whites did exactly the same thing to the Indians that the Indians did to one another and would have done to the whites if they could have. There is no high ground or moral superiority on any side of this battle. Indians were unwilling or unable to make an allied resistance to the European invasion and takeover.

The Indians massacred each other long before Columbus set sail,only because the colonists beat them they cry wolf Damn well knowing they would have done the very same thing to us if they landed in Europe or killed the settlers. The tribes and thank God they didn’t;were/are hypocritical savages that would happily repatriate all non “native” Americans (Whites,Asians,Blacks,Latinos and everyone else) if they had the numbers or power so get off your white horse cleanse yourself of the white saviour mindset and realise mentally they are just as smart as you so don’t pity or underestimate them.

@@johngaither9263 is totally right. I will never understand the ignorance of people that think the indians were nothing but peaceful corn planting tree huggers. it is undisputed fact that the indians slaughtered countless people for the land they lived on and none of these child brained adults can understand that.

Whites were/are the strongest/smartest tribe. We won and they wouldn't have treated us any better. No way they would give us reservations.

That’s what gets me too.

Alcoholism, gambling addiction and crime rates are astonishing in these communities. They’re still essentially outlaws, even in a town where they’re the overwhelming majority. It’s just awful what’s happened and they’ll never get to be themselves again as they were for centuries. I hope the tribes keep doing everything they can to educate and embrace their religion, culture and languages as they have been

the tribal people did that to themselves. no other time in history, were the people who were conquered given land to keep their own system of governance on. not even when these tribes slaughtered the tribes that lived on the land before them. people are so ignorant about their own history.

They were doomed the moment the first European set foot on their shore. And as for the end result, I mean it’s created the most powerful nation in history. Seems to have not been for nothing.

I have sacred texts of this time, which describe the natives as spiritually advanced, hence why they knew that to honour the Great Spirit, they had to also honour the land and their fellow men and creatures. Sadly, the ways of the white man have no honour, and to bizarrely claim the countless violent, treacherous, inhuman acts as part of a greater genocide were for their own good, well that sums up the denial and deceit of the white man, and his ways.

The British banned Infantcide.

i think you're forgetting that the europeans in general didn't treat their colonized people fairly either, and in the case of britain (Canada, Australia, etc) did a ton of shit to the local native population too. This coincided with the European expansion in Asia, and the latter part with Afrika. If a country like Britain, France, the Netherlands, Russia, etc. Started pointing out how the US made unfair treaties with the natives, or simply broke them. Then the US could do the same towards the European dealings in China, Malay world, Afrika (Irish famine in case of Britain?) Unequal and broken treaties are not a specifically Amerikan thing, It's something made possible by a power imbalance enabling one side to dominate the other. The Europeans likely knew what was going on, at least to a degree, especially Britain. Europeans werent some noble people looking out for the oppressed, they actively took part in oppression for their own gain (tbf every people worked for their own gain). Think you look at them with rose tinted glasses. Indian nations took part in the civil war a great deal, and to a degree it even split some nations. Two examples of civil war indian troops are the Confederate Thomas' legion made up from Cherokees, it was a quite unusual legion for their use of combined arms, the unit consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The Union's most famous indian troops being K company of the 1st Michigan sharpshooters regiment, consisting of members from the Ojibwa, Odawa, and Potawatomi nations. There were ofcourse many more, worth researching if you're looking for a nice read.

Maybe this could be of interest for you: the Meusebach-Comanche treaty. It was a treaty between german settlers and a Comanche tribe and is one of only a few that was never broken. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meusebach-Comanche_Treaty

You have to realise that all kinds of treaties are kind of illusory, legal fictions. What it ultimately comes down to, every time, is power. If there is a rough balance of powers or mutual respect or fear, treaties largely get respected. If that is not the case, it all falls apart.

The purpose of the treaties was to take the land. There was never any intention to honour them. It simply creates the legal pretext to take something that isn't yours.

Are you saying it was not God's will for the United States of America to exist? Read what the bible says about government in Romans 13. You may want to rethink that assertion.
