That new plaque is quite funny. So, the Indians were “protecting their culture”? They did this to any outsiders they didn’t know, the plains Indians operated on a “might makes right” system, far more cut throat than Europe at the time. They weren’t making some grand attempt to stop colonization, that is how they would have reacted to any outsiders in their territory. It was a brutal, brutal existence in North America, they certainly were not peaceful hippies like so many people think
@ElectronFieldPulse Yes I agree. The tribes were competing for resources like all groups do, and this was not their first contact (or first fight) with Europeans
fantastic video. i love the period dialogue from quotations. very underrated, keep at it and the algorithm will work eventually
@gargeely4901 Thank you! The encouragement helps

We weren't trying to hit you with our arrows. It's a shame this lie runs rampant.
@TheTreegodfather That's an interesting angle on the story. Was it passed down through your family?
The gun thing is BS otherwise they'd still be using bows and arrows in Europe😂
