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.

no it is some of the worst fake history trash ever made. What a mischaracterization of the War of 1812. Your organization does not have the honor to truthfully use the word History in their name. "The American invasion retreated south, never to return." No mention of the War starting because the British were capturing American ships AND American citizens. Did the British just teleport to the Battle of New Orleans where they lost, ending the War of 1812?

It’s hard to make these because much of the source material is from Europe record keepers or archeological findings as the natives kept no witted records and what they did pass down generations was laced with sensationalized storytelling that was commonplace in many native oral traditions It’s mostly speculation prior to European arrival

Thank you, thank you for this! I grew up on on the banks of Lake Ontario in Irondequoit; NY and graduated from Irondequoit High school, just down the road from Iroquois middle school. . I remember well learning at a young age about the Iroquois. Schools, streets, parks, zoos and so many more things are named after these amazing native Americans. Now i feel i know them so much more.

Pay attention to the story of this time as it was. The indigenous natives were not helpless. Rather they were warriors. With each other and anybody else that came along. Pay attention. They found another warrior that was harder to subject to them. They really the Six Nations now joined the British to fight the French . They made deals with them and they sold the lands they were given for helping the Brits to people from the US. They caved. A Mohawk Joe Brandt was the leader

The lands in the US were not sold they were taken as the tribes were loyal to the British during the revolution, the agreements signed were not respected and land was stolen. My local reservation, the one settled by Joseph brant, is only a fraction of what was agreed to due to municipal expansion and government betrayal

@chromerevolver5854 3 ай бұрын

@@isaacrobson4192 its better to be a fraction of the size anyway. the original size of 3 million acres was just absurd. 3 million acres for the original 1200 mohawks that settled on it with joseph brant. it was doomed to be sold off and lose land from the beginning. the 30k acres today has enough resources anyway.

If you want to learn the REAL history of Native America, listen to the series "The Other States of History." The Narrator is a New York licensed history teacher, but he teaches everything that was skipped over in school. He doesn't use "music" or sound effects in the back ground. He is an exceptional story teller. IMO, he's THE authority on pre colonial America. This video already slipped at least an entire decade of French traders long before Champlain was ever here. I know. I'm a geneologist. I'm a FIFTEENTH generation "American" proven through documents and DNA testing.
