Once the five nations of the Iroquois were bitter enemies. Until the Peacemaker's law bound them together. Stronger together, the Iroquois used commerce, diplomacy and firepower to destroy their enemies. And fight the French Empire to a standstill.

My 4x great grandfather was the Oneida Chief Skenandoah. He was born in 1706 and died at 110yo in 1816. He stood 6’5” and was a friend of Ben Franklin. The book “Franklin listens when I speak” is about his friendship with Franklin. He is also known for sending food (corn) to Washington’s troops at Valley Forge, saving them. There is a large bronze statue of him with Washington in the Smithsonian.

@@michaelmaz6833 family history says that Franklin used the Iroquois confederacy in the US constitution after being told how it worked by Skenandoah, who sat on the grand council of the Iroquois. The book on their friendship calls it “the remarkable friendship that may have changed the course of American history”. The book starts off with the story of Skenandoah teaching Franklin how to swim when they were both 10yo. I’m now 75, and was adopted as an infant. I just learned of my birth fathers side after doing the 23&me dna test. I met my birth mother when I was 30, and learned that I’m also a descendant of Chief Bull Bear of the Lakota.

The Iroquois was a confederation of 5 tribes or nations, originally: The Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and the Seneca. However, in 1722, they were joined by the Tusqorora for a total of 6 nations. Their confederacy agreement became the basis for our Constitution.

This is a well researched documentary. My French ancestors were farmers from Loudun, France and were the first group of French settlers to Acadia. My great grandfather transported sugar by canoe along the St. John river. Before the British came they moved and farmed across the bay in what is now New Brunswick and Maine. They were not deported but were forced to sign an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. Likely they had cooperative relations with the Native Americans who preceded them on the land.

Family stories say they contacted her son to come and get her or they would take her into the woods to let her die there. The Leni Lenape aka The Delaware Indians were subjugated by the Iroquois and considered "women" but the Susquehannocks called them "The Old Ones".

In the early 1800's, monthly magazines published "books" in chapters over a number of months. James Fennimore Cooper complained to his wife that a popular story in one magazine had terrible writing and story line, but was still published and liked by readers. She told him "Well, if you think you can write something better, then do it, but make sure it is excellent." He wrote "The Last of the Mohicans" published in 1826 and the other 4 books in "The Leather Stocking Tales."

Living in log cabins with four bunks in each cabin - went through rituals every night around campfires, sailing during the days, learning about the history of the area , and discipline - There are other lakes in the immediate area as well that were all named after different tribes .Skaneateles Canadice,Mohawk,and Hemlock . I’m sure I’m missing some lakes . Point being the first museum I ever went to was in Rochester , it was all related to the Iroquois tribe . Everything was original period pieces . That is the history of upstate New York . There are also many Indian tribes in cities ,and towns in New England .

The French allied with the Hurons during the French and Indian War. The Iroquois sided with the British. Because the Iroquois sided with the British during the Revolutionary War, some of them were resettled in Southeastern Ontario at sites granted in 1784 for the settlement of the Six Nations. The city of Brantford, Ontario is named after Joseph Brant, a Mohawk chief who was allied with the British during the American Revolution.

Hi Dan; have you ever heard of the Selkirk Settlers? In 1812, Lord Selkirk, a Scottish Noble, and Governor of the Hudson's Bay Co. sent a group of his serfs, and their families, to the south-west shore of Hudson's Bay, and down river to present day Winnipeg. They had to interact with the native Cree and the Metis, descendants of the male French Voyagers and their Cree wives. When Canada formed in 1867, the Metis weren't included leading to the Red River Rebellion. It was put down by Sir Garnet Wolsely and the 60th Rifles, over land through the Great Lakes. A great untold story.

The Selkirk Expedition to the Red River Because of his positive experience with the de Meurons, Lord Selkirk sent an agent to Switzerland to recruit civilians to emigrate to the Red River Colony. After the War of 1812, a hundred men from the disbanded Swiss regiments were hired by Lord Selkirk to accompany him there. After occupying Fort William, a small detachment of 30 soldiers and 2 officers continued west and entered Fort Douglas by the Red River, re-establishing order. Some of these soldiers stayed on as settlers. Today the Avenue des Meurons in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the Point de Meuron nearby are reminders of the Swiss regiment's settlers. In 1821, after a journey of unremitting hardship, 180 new settlers arrived in November, only to find that no cabins had been built for them. Nor were there enough provisions. About half of the new arrivals had to set off for Pembina near the US border, where conditions where believed to be more favorable. Three years of flooding and plagues of locusts drove most inhabitants of the Red River Colony to greener pastures. Peter Rindisbacher, who had at age 15 come with his family to Red River, made a number of watercolour sketches of the Swiss immigrants' journey. His depictions of Indigenous and trader life on the prairies are a valuable historical and artistic record of that period.

I'm Dutch whose family (cousins) married their trading partners, the Seneca and Mohawk. Cornplanter is a cousin, a Dutch-Seneca war chief. The story behind not only the wars, but the history and customs of the Five Nations is fascinating. In the beginning many Protestant American colonists, (at the behest of the Catholic Jesuits) were captured by the Mohawks and taken to Canada. Some escaped, but others decided to stay with their adopted family, and so I am related to many Canadian First Nations people as well as those still living near the old Seneca Reservations in NY where my grandmother was born. An intensely interesting part of American history which is not deeply researched or understood. Their bi-racial sons and daughters played a big part in assisting other tribes to understand how they could use American law, medicine and education to help them fight for their rights.

@ philipmcluskey6805 I think the real tragedy for the natives of the Americas and elsewhere was that they had no acquired immunity to the nasty viruses and bacteria that had ravaged Eurasia and parts of Africa for generations (millennia). Even smallpox, fevers, plague, flu and cholera were still killing Europeans when they arrived to the "New Worlds" So, it is no great mystery why so many Native peoples died from the same!

I’m Akwesasne Mohawk, I’ve studied extensively. I understand that our tribe wasn’t a rainbow and sun shine history that many like to say. There were no mention in this documentary about our Cannabliss history . The name Mohawk means ( eater of men) but we keep historical records accurate whether it’s complementary to us or not. In saying that “ there’s two things in this world that I can’t stomach. People who hate others because of their race, nation of origin or culture. And .. the French.

I loved this, the detail and presentation style is very good. I don't believe the appetite for this sort of history outwith North America is going to do anything but increase. The USA, particularly, doesn't teach this history of of the conflicts it's beginnings directly resulted in enough. The internet can be awesome for how we can all watch, or, in this example, it's quite brilliant that you can also listen it through too [whilst having a bath soak and a nice clean head shave in it, with cocktails and grilled chicken, with some herb in my case], it's a great audio for a long drive I'll bet too, because the story teller is not just reading a script, he's expressing it too.

Really great presentation. It was fairly well balanced and presented most sides with warts and all. It somewhat painted Cornwallis as the originator of paying for scalps. He was following a tradition that had been previously practiced. By the French, the Hurons and the Iroquois. Not that Cornwallis was a nice guy. His tactics against the Scots and the Mic Mac were brutal.

What I could never understand is why so much history on the American continent has been ignored for so long - by authors and filmmakers. What about tribes living here 1000 (and 2000) years ago? How about 5000 years ago? So many untold stories. But for some reason they only pick up on the "Indian" accounts when the colonies begin. This is the very first account I've heard yet that preceded the colonies by 100 + years.

Amazingstory, amazing culture of the Native Americans. What blows me away the most is how they not only survived but flourished around the Great Lakes and its incredibly harsh winters. No electricity, no modern buildings, no high tech winter clothing, nothing but pure raw guts and a knowledge of how to live off the land, something we no longer possess. Imagine if no one came over from Europe, what would North America look like. Probably much like it was then, people living well in harmony with nature, you could still swim in and eat fish from the Hudson River, in other worlds , a wonderful world.

They were constantly at war with their neighbors and detailed accounts prove it. Then first recorded account of French contact with the Cayugas from the late 1600's was a war party that visited the French outpost on Onondaga lake, just returned from raiding Hurons in Canada. They had a young Huron girl with them of about 8 years old whom they had taken captive and she was being marched with them ultimately to their land further south along the northern portion of Cayuga lake, The French sent a young priest to go with them to see if there was a way to get her back through diplomacy at some point. (The Hurons were the ally of the French who themselves had come down from CAnada) He went on what he described in his diary as an exhausting, trek at a grueling pace arriving at dusk. He entered one of their bark houses and slept a bit, only to be awoken by dancing and commotion to find to his horror that they had killed and were roasting her to eat as a meal in honor of their strange foreign guest. Modern politically correct history of North Americans tribes is one of the most censored and invented narratives of any people in the world. Even Verrazzano's voyage from the early 1500's to the Caribbean found cannibals who killed and ate their enemies, including ultimately. Verrazzano himself.

"Klaatu barada nikto", anyone? 🤪 It's a pity, as the video was otherwise interesting and informative.

10:34 the deal had been made earlier in 1603-4 by Membertou. Wabanaki, Innu, Wendat, Algonquin, all asked the French in. The landing at Petite Riviere / Green Bay in 1604 was arranged by Membertou. Wabanaki Alliance was already closely associated with the Mikmaq. The French surveyed the southwest and chose Port Royal, it was no surprise. French were irrevocably on the other side against Iroquois esp after the Mikmaq converted en masse to Catholicism and were intermarried with French settlers, making the Acadians. 22:00 the English could never make separate peace for this reason. Only once the French were defeated utterly in North America would the Wabanaki / Mikmaq sign a truce. 40:54 they were sheltering family.
