Ned Christie is my 3rd great grand uncle. My 3rd great grandfather is his brother, Return Goback Christie. I have loved learning about this side of my lineage ever since I began researching it.

This is one of the most underrated stories in modern history. It is such an amazing story. I can almost promise that if there was a movie made about this that it would be a blockbuster. I just hope that such a story would be at least moderately historically accurate.

In my opinion, Ned Christie was a patriotic Cherokee freedom fighter. I'd also like to see a movie made about him as well. RIP Ned Christie. CHEROKEE PRIDE!!!

I read about Ned in grade school. The things I read about Ned were exactly as described. He was portrayed as an outlaw. Very sad. This is a great video!!!!

ned christie is my great great great grandfather, my dad told me his story when i was about 12, CHEROKEE PRIDE!

Awww this makes me soo 😥 sad. And the picture of him dead is soo upsetting

I first learned of Ned Christie after reading the novel "Zeke and Ned". Went on to find out everything I could about him. I highly respect this man, even wrote a song about him. Wish I could have known him back in the day.

Ned Christie: The Creation of an Outlaw and Cherokee Hero by Devon A. Mihesuah. Great book that deconstructs the repeated lies about Christie.

Ned christie is my great great great grandpa to

ned christie is my great great grandpa r.i.p ned

What isn't mentioned is that he was likely to have been deliberately framed by the railroad companies who he was resisting in council, to stop them building through Cherokee land. What a truly inspiring man - you can see in the photos of him his bright flame of awareness.

I am a direct descendant of Ned Christie. He is my great great great grandfather.

Wow I didn't know this I'm glad I know it now RIP Ned Christie A'ho

I think he was a hero truth hero of the Cherokee people,, wrongfully accused of something you didn't do and harassed to his death,,, I just think it was evil they're the ones that should pay,, but he was still always be my hero and a great Patriot of the TSALAGI PEOPLE‼️‼️‼️‼️

Roy Hamilton is my 2nd cousin and im proud of his work for the Cherokee people rip my family glad and proud he help with neds story

Thank you. Excellent mini documentary.

Why is it that white people always want to accuse of of things that we didn't do. They still do it to this very day. RIP Mr. Christie you legacy will live on.

Trying to write a script about this story. Problem is I cant find many sources and thats a problem because I want this film to be as historically accurate as possible.

And they're still doing it today,, and we're still here too,, and we'll always fight for our freedom🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🐺

I agree completely!

Wow, a lot of relatives on Ned here, This is the first time I've looked him up. I've read about him often, and I'm sure he was just a man trying to survive.

Reminds me of the story of my 3greats uncle 'Major' Lewis Redmond. He shot and killed a revenue officer, Alfred Duckworth, and was on the run from the law for just over three years. He claimed to be part Cherokee. I am descended from his sister Elizabeth Redmond Reeves. We believe their mother to be Malinda Williams Redman who appears on the 1900 Dawes Roll. We cannot prove that Malinda Williams and Malinda Redmond(Redman) are the same person. Her first husband, Jesse Williams, abandoned her and his four children just after they arrived in the Indian Territory. We believe she returned to NC looking for him where she met Richard Remond and became our ancestor. Jesse Williams was later found in Texas. We believe Malinda returned to the Indian Territory in the 1880s to get away from the notoriety her son was acquiring in the east.

😢😢😢this is the kind of stuff they don’t want taught in schools today. (TRUTH BE TOLD ‼️).

Hmmm... reminds me of what is happening today, on a larger scale.

When Ned was propped up at the Court House in Ft. Smith my Great Uncle Hugh Harp one of Judge Parkers Deputy Marshals put his rifle in Neds hands as seen in the vid. RIP Ned Christy and Hugh Harp.

Larry McMurtry's book Zeke and Ned, was a look into the story of Ned's life in the way only Larry could portray it, fiction mixed with fact.

The Mills remember Ned Christie and his earthly tribulations

No theatre film ever made.

Wow…

And white America is still mired in adolescence; having not grown up one wit.

My uncle

those who shoot at police are guilty innocent men do not harm officers. Amazing no one gives us credit for teaching them how to govern as civilized men , before they were nomadic lawless tribes at war with each other for land and game
