Fascinating tales. I am from an European city established around 1200. The Lewis and Clark (and Sacayawea) expedition took place between 1804 and 1806. Image. Just read Anne Lee Waldo 700 pages book which describes the L&C endeavour through Sacayawea's perspective. Highly recommendable.
Super video!!! As a long time Lowis and Clark historian, I learned ALOT for this video! Thanks sooo much for sharing this with us and I certainly appreciatge ALL the time and effort and forethought it took to develop and produce this video!!! May the good Lord Bless all of you and yours ALWAYS!!!
I have migrated back and forth from the far reaches of what we call western Washington my birthplace in what we call SW Montana for the past 25 years. I have always enjoyed the journey, particularly when i take my time, get off of the freeway, spend days instead of hours driving to the Continental Divide. I feel the spirit of the rivers, the amazing geology and the varieties of climate from Sea to ther rivers source. To begin to understand native peoples stories of their love and protection of all things is very beautiful. This video is very well done. I will always try to see this land from the perspective of our ancestors who cared for and loved this earth. Capitalisim, colonialism and other forms of earthly destruction must end. Power to the native peoples and all of those who cherish life in all forms.
It made me tear up when the Shoshone woman said the spirits are lonely because they aren't there anymore. I used to talk to the spirits where I lived. There were so many stone tools in the creekbeds, I knew they were there. I knew it was someone's home before it was mine. I liked to imagine what they did and how they lived. I would imagine spending time with them and learning the secrets of the land. They're all gone now. It's sad.
Man, I wish this video had no end, so I could listen to these stories 'til the day I can no longer hear. If anyone has any suggestions for similar content, I would be eternally grateful.
To all the indigenous tribes along the route of Lewis & Clark Sacajawea was instrumental in the success of the Corps of Discovery reaching the Pacific Ocean otherwise we would be speaking French or Russian or Spanish! Gratitude & appreciation!
Not really... they lost me when they said "homeland"... the indians were raiding and invading eachother's homelands for centruries before any whiteman showed up.
True history? Fables & verbal stories passed down thru the generations. No written language, no records, no evidence. Perhaps their stories are true, perhaps it is all buffalo shit. No one knows what percentage of both/either is the actual truth. Either way whatever one wishes to believe has no bearing on modern American society.
The stories I was taught in school about the Lewis Clark Journey did not dismiss the importance of Native Americans to the success of the journey at all, just the opposite, the help of people like the Nez Perce and Sacagawea was emphasized and that was 30+ years ago.
They made it sound like it was ok to kill steal and pillage genocide they left that part out in school they made us look like heathens we were just protecting our land and food for that we were massacred they left that out !! It's very documented the brutality natives suffer every day to this day only Hitler did this kind of thing till America was invaded by the invaders and we tried to share everything but they were greedy and wanted it all!!!!!!
@@mikemcgrath3448 Every piece of land in this world has been invaded, fought over and “resettled”. Europe, China, Africa, South America and North America. Mongols, Vikings, Romans, Mayans, Incas -just some of those who “conquered” other lands or people. The more history you learn the more you realize nothing is forever. Civilizations built on top of others. It’s life.
Great stories that creates wonderful cultures even to the present and beyond as these stories will be carried onward to the next seven generations and beyond. I love my Indigenous Ways and People. Masinato kena Kakuhu! Omabahari! Seneko Kakona
Loved it. Thank you. I really enjoyed this documentary last night. The south has their Robert E Lee. We were sold Lewis and Clark. I really enjoyed this history, which is not "alt-history". Very nicely done.
Ms Wood, some of us here in TX have been educated quite extensively on both Lewis and Clark, and Robert E. Lee. They are all deeply complicated characters. I have read multiple biographies on Lewis and Clark as well as Lee, Grant, Sherman, Stewart, Mead etc. etc. Please don't cast a net over everyone in a group. I assert that that has caused many disagreements
Loved the video. I knew from reading "undaunted courage" that the different indian tribes played a hugh role in the success of lewis and clarke. I feel sad that indians would lose so much in the end. It's shameful the way the european conquerers treated those whose land they were stealing.
Can't steal from someone who didn't know they owned anything in the first place. Indians had no concept of owning land or horses until White man told them. Indians still didn't understand. Indians benefited only when th he Spanish gave then horses.
Native Indians lost almost everything in life - but yet the black people want everything given to them freely where they have no right. It belongs to the indigenous peoples of North America. They need their land back to protect it from over oil fracking and of natural gas which is destroying our lands. 100,000's of fracking wells are in the southern states and causing earthquakes. Man destroys all! Salmon eggs are sold to Japan for a profit while there are few salmon eggs left to bring the salmon back into our streams - and it is blamed on over fishing - not true!
@@danboone5672 True. This fact: The Spanish provided the horses (indirectly) to the American Indians a hundred years before L&C came thru... They will not acknowledge.
Now it’s all about money and keep out signs. Build mansions high on the mountain. One day the people’s way will return. It has changed so much in my 60+years I sometimes wonder where I am. In nature’s way a thousand years is a blink of an eye. These people knew clean water pure air and sustainable ways. Respect and love of the land. Now it’s a bear in the neighborhood,, kill it! How dare it try to live? I always camped and could return next year. All could enjoy. Now it’s sell it for homesites forever changed in our life times. It is sad.
At long last at least some of the white tribe are coming to understand the "spirit" of the land (and Earth and Universe) and the need to love and protect it - which is the essence of "spirituality." This part of the white tribe now recognizes the hubris and selfishness and ignorance of our own forebears and appreciates the superior wisdom of indigenous peoples around the world in this regard. Those who truly understand the Lewis and Clark Expedition are fully aware that it would not have succeeded without the able and kind and honorable assistance of native peoples along the way. Nor can we fail to respect the unfriendly response of such a "trespass" by those few natives that L&C encountered who keenly recognized what their presence portended. It is with both deep gratitude to L&C's friends along the way, and sorrow for much of what came later, that we from this segment of the white tribe now regard this historic adventure. The full and complete story should be taught in every school.
FYI...Fact is, not everyone is happy, period! This is something I learned as a kid growing up with my grandparents and neighbors; ¨Son, there're many tongues, plenty of ears, fairly good eyes to only see darkness, fingers to point across and an empty skull to believe what you feel!¨
So very beautiful people and land. My heart goes out to all Native Americans. We can never repay You Dear People for what was taken from You. It upsets Me when I hear these crybabies complaining about their civil rights being so called violated. God be withYou Good People. Antoine Tony Allemand
Very interesting to hear what all of the humble Native Tribe Members are talking about in this Video. Most of the new arrivals coming from Europe to the New World would not have survived the first winter without the help of the Native American people. Most of the white arrivals would have starved to death without being given food as well as seeds and instructions by Native Tribe people regarding how to raise Corn, Squash, Beans and dried Meat and dried Fish as well as many other eatable goods for sure. Those who helped a lot were pretty soon later betrayed, killed, or just chased and driven out of their homes and precious land. And all of the U.S. Presidents were directly involved in one of the biggest blunder and land grab and unjust behavior ever since. It had started with the first President and it has not yet ended with the latest recent President which is part of the ongoing blunder and the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline issue in S.D. affecting the Lakota Tribe as well as the ongoing cheating attempt by the federal government against the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
Gross exaggeration on both sides of your statement. Also, fact: The Spanish provided the horses to the American Indians a hundred years before L&C came thru...
@@billhosko7723 Gross exaggeration ? - You might have missed a few important disgusting historical details of what was done to the First Nations People by European Immigrants after 1500 until nowadays.
The greatest nightmare today would be to imagine "Aliens" coming by spaceship and once they landed 75% of us would die of disease, then they would dictate the terms and would ask us to feed them, all the while we are displaced into smaller and a more sparse locations. Then without consultation we would hear that they could claim and take over any areas they wanted. How would we react??!!!
Alien Invaders. We would set them up with a condominium plan, take there deposit, and they would be so miserable that they would go back home again. Do not forget that Lewis and Clarke lost a lot of there money to the Indian Casino's as they went along the trails.
Disease doesn’t work that way, it didn’t evolve to infect us. It’s the same reason why movies about aliens that come to earth to eat us are so ridiculous, it would be like if you tried to eat grass. If they could master interstellar travel than their technology would make us insignificant.
If you read the journals (and it sounds as though many of the speakers did not), you will see that the "gangs" of tribes warring on, murdering, enslaving and stealing from each other, not to mention the utter poverty, disease and ignorance they found, was nothing to be nostalgic for. Many tribes were starving and had nothing, either from natural or human disasters. Not to say the native cultures were not of any value in themselves, and many very noble, but they were as varied as any could be. The tribe that L&C regarded highest were the Nez Perce, but they were very sympathetic to the plights of the tribes and "those pore people". The sad part of the story is that the good will L&C left with most of the tribes was destroyed, almost inevitably, in the clash of American and native tribes. The largest tribe won, as always. It could have been so much better. But then it wouldn't be history.
as they gave the rivers with already a name, a false name...that is not discovering but playing the hero as they were payed to eliminate everything or to steal terrain, they made new maps to destroy what exists already, no congenital can find some true things back on these maps. Only geographical things as there are The Black Hills, rivers...plains without a name you can see on the map, if not changed. So they look at the maps with their hearts.
Tribes had many conflicts over tribal boudaries. A lot of changes in residency and dominance of tribes over the centuries. Sacagawea allied with the Lewis and Clark Expedition recognizing their military advantages that could help the Shoshone .
These are beautiful people, but there is nothing that they earned or deserved by virtue of their ancestors. Life changes and lands are conquered. Certainly every indigenous tribe understood that all land of the earth are obtained and lost by force and the ebb and flow of civilization and barbarism clash. Even Mother nature who they so loved and worshiped was a cruel taskmaster too. All the idealism of this video, while beautiful, is manufactured in the mind of those unable to move beyond their past. All history has shown that life moves past each and every one of us. The most liberal, progressive, multicultural, revolutionary sympathetic to the native people, are all the same to those who would claim absolute right to the pre Columbus Americas. To them we are all trespassers, abusers, domineering criminals who should renounce our property, land and government. Compelling, but ultimately pointless.
According to spiritual laws though a man must reap what he sows, so far from pointless, as are people's reactions, which betrays the state of their souls. No genuine human being can look upon the desecration of the native indians and be anything less than distraught, especially when one sees both the damage done to their ancestors, and mother earth. It is said that not even a leaf can fall without it evoking some form of accountability in the laws of Creation, and within the wheel of reincarnation somewhere are these greedy, murderous despots, awaiting their fruits, maybe even on the reservation, and if one gazes over mother earth once more, then we see them everywhere now, abusers in many forms. Thus, now the indians prophecies must be fulfilled, and unless people develop a sense of caring and respecting others, their lands, and mother nature, then they will not be permitted any further incarnations and the earth will be destroyed. This is justice, and most certainly not pointless, for why do we live here but to develop the character of our spirits, so that through joy and sorrow, we may one day leave this wheel of reincarnation and ascend to our real home, Paradise, where eternal life awaits those who make a point of at least noticing these events, and perhaps shedding a tear or too, for it was truly despicable what the white man generally did, and still does, on almost all levels, although this malady is now spread throughout all the races. Man has fallen deeply, as was forewarned! And it cannot but lead to spiritual death, even if people are unaware of their spiritual indolence that begets the deep slumber of their spirits, which are entombed within their material desires. Man was meant to be a servant, who served his Creator and thus became a responsible steward of the earth, but instead became a desecrator of all things inwardly beautfiul, as he sought domination over the earth, and thus over God and His laws. And this intuitive sense of beauty is where we need to begin, by bringing it and the spiritual sense of balance into all our activites, and to open up to the grace and power of the Great Spirit, for He will guide us, if we but listen to His hearkening call by opening up our spirits. Let there be Light!
God gave us dominion over the earth and all its creatures. You do know that native Americans roasted people alive that they captured from other tribes long before you’re hated white man came along?
I don't think they want revenge, they are talking about history, how things were. They were people and yes, some were cruel. But they lived here and thrived for thousands of years, and they were almost annihilated by Europeans. I think it is sad, I am not proud of my country for that. It didn't have to be that way.
@@tilesetter1953 In these end days we live, as clearly they are as prophesied by the native tribes of the Americas, I feel it is about recognition and discernment, so that the necessary changes can be made. Therefore, a certain amount of self-reflection is needed, but with the spirit and intuition, which is always linked to truth and the laws of Creation, as on higher planes and of the Great, or Holy Spirit, if you will. Then the wrong ways can be discarded, and a bridge built to the new ways , which will far more resemble the ways of the indigenous tribes, than those of the white race, although greed, lust for power and other evil traits have spread akin to cancer into all races now. This I feel is the key to the history and culture of the native indians, and the promised Apocalypse along with the possibility of a new earth where the lands will be returned to the indigenous tribes, and when the great Creator's hand will be revealed and reign on earth, finally, across all the remaining lands. However, it is for men to bring this about by transforming their mindset, and way of living, for they must now surrender thenselves completely to the spiritual powers that constantly stream through creation, and descend upon the earth. Generally speaking, man has been ignoring them and so does not absorb of his daily bread, so he becomes weaker as he is divorced from the power that could sustain and support him. So then he seeks to compensate for this weakness by desiring only the materialistic things in life, along with the heart of a woman, and thus his perception narrows as he sins against the laws of the spirit, and so he cannot see his wrongs, for he has then become a rapacious beast who strives for more and more lands, women, and the wealth of others, and takes it through deceit or violence, and does so now without a conscience. The greatest crimes of this nature were perpetrated against the native indians, even to an extraordinary psychopathic degree, as you rightly said, and it seems good to grieve these events, for perhaps by doing so we forgive ourselves in some small or great way, for we know not our past deeds of former lives, although maybe such feelings are the longings for our previous way of living, and a desire to live this way once more. This then is the propesied Fall of Man, symbolically represented by the taking of the apple due to the sensual and sexual attraction of the woman, with all the evil karmic effects and ties that come with this form of idolatry, and they must now be relinquished by changing, or we will fall without trace into eternal perdition, the worst thing to befall the human spirit. This is why the history of the native indians, including their prophecies, is so vital to all our survivals, spiritual and physical, as it makes possible the rebirth of man and the earth , but not... as you rightly said, in the form of retribution against the white man, or any other race for that matter. Vengeance will be God's alone through the law of cause and effect, for each and every man and nation. Besides who knows where those Indians are now, maybe, as the book Return of the Bird Tribes prophesied, they may have reincarnated amongst the white and other races. Thank you for your thoughtful, kind and discerning thoughts on this matter, and blessed be, in these, the darkest hours and days of an erring mankind!
I love my home Montana..came here 5yrs ago from indiana..trying to get here my entire life..now..just sadness..no place to call home...its completely taken over so now no one can have peace..just ugly rules on how to live..animals not allowed
You folks had it 'right' (all tribes). But if I could pick a time & place to have been born and lived it would be with the Blackfeet (Piegan, Blood or Blackfeet), about 1760 prior to 'first contact'. Gorgeous country! Great society in all aspects. I know of no better way to live. How exhilarating it must have been to hunt buffalo with a bow from horseback!!! There have been many, many times I've sat quietly on a hill overlooking the Marias (found a hide scraping stone one of those days and left it there), or stood waste deep in the Gallatin, or walked in the fall cottonwoods of the Missouri and considered quietly how nice it must have been for you. I could go on and on ...
White people (Columbus) brought horses to the new country. You can either hunt on horseback with natives or you can hang out with them before "first contact"....you cant do both. Before that, they started forest fires that burned uncontrolled and they ran whole herds off of buffalo jumps. Come up to our beautiful state and look where the remains of buffalo are 20 feet deep at the bottom of these cliffs...realize that there was no way to keep all of that meat (the average buffalo is about 900 lbs) and most of it was wasted. Whole herds killed in one day.....whole forests burned.
@@Gekokujo76 The natives were generally greatly appreciative of mother nature, and lived far more in harmony with it than the current races, especially the white man. And I have no doubt many lies were nurtured to conceal and temper the atrocities committed by the white poeple of the time. Anyway those times are gone, but the need to treat our fellow men, regardless of race and colour, and nature, with respect, is not, and neither is the karma that very indiviudal has built up through the ages. Now atonement awaits us all in the enormous storm that sweeps the earth, as according to their prophecies, the only question it seems to me is will there be any men still standing at end of it in about 40 years time, for what a man sows, he must surely reap.
Good grief. European intruder not willing to go back... American Indian: Typical death by age 50, on foot, no horses (Spanish brought them)... continual conflicts between warring tribes and peaceful ones, over land. Losers: killed, sent away or enslaved.
Rosebud the then Assiniboine cheif sent people to watch these strangers and to move them along if they stopped in our country but they did not so they were left alone
rapier1954 Farrell you people are so ignorant you assume Inuits and Natives are the same people, ever noticed why there are no Inuit tribes in America other then the North?!?
@@dn2ze The genetics of many tribes have been tested. It's not like we just tested Inuits. I do believe that they were late in the migration game, too.
Interesting how people of Abrahamic beliefs think they were created in a garden somewhere in the Levant based on books written by Bronze Age goat herders, but it’s clear everyone is African in origin.
I understand when the first nations refer to having there own religion I only wish to say "the way to live" in spirit in unity with all things, to me is what's natural isn't compared with white man's religion using that word doesn't honor their way of life. To me to leave that word out is the first way of separating themselves from the society imposed upon them, thats my heart in respect for the beautiful first nations people's. I wish to honor with prayers of blessings to the great spirit for renewal and freedom of their way of life be restored fully. Thank you for this opportunity to share my ❤️
Really?... "Renewal and freedom of their way of life be restored fully." Typical death by age 50, on foot, no horses (Spanish brought them)... continual conficts between warring tyribes and peaceful ones, over land. Losers: killed, sent away or enslaved.
Many years ago in my youth I found a cave high up on Saddle Mountain which went deep inside that mountain. Very few if any know where this place is located. In the 1800's a miner kept going to Seaside Oregon with bags of big beautiful gold found in a cave which he said was 18 miles east of the town. People kept trying to follow him to the cave but none has ever found it. Some believe that he was killed by Indians. When I was looking at a big rock cliff I saw hundreds of birds and bats flying into the cave. I kept watching this area and realized how deep that cave went into the mountain. Who knows what that mountain hides to this very day. Perhaps the cave is protected by the bear or Bigfoot - beware.
Like Columbus, Lewis and Clark discovered absolutely nothing other than a People’s that lived life in accordance to their specific lands topography had to offer as Mother Earth has done to all who learn how to live with nature and not against it. You can’t claim anything that is already inhabited and take credit for a discovery. Might as well go discover the moon! Oh wait, that’s already been done. Doh! 😅
When he says, "We have always been here." Actually....no. Your ancestors migrated there, just like mine did. I will acknowledge that yours got here before mine, but neither of our peoples have "always been here."
They have been here long enough to become indigenous to the lands. They built civilizations, cultivated the lands of north and south America, their influence is deeply soaked into these continents. Nobody ever discredits the European homelands.
@@sallythompson5852 Anyone born here is Native. No people are indigenous... in the span of Earth time we arrived within seconds of each other... We can not know who The First immigrants were. The Spanish basically gave the horses to North American Indians of the Plains...
I'm sure this may have happened unintentionally on multiple occasions, but I'm not aware of this happening with the American Indians along Lewis & Clark's route. The one instance that I know about where it WAS intentionally done, literally for the purposes of biological warfare, occurred during the French & Indian War (circa 1755-1762). The person responsible for it was British General Geoffrey Amherst.
@@andreweden9405 Of course the histories are going to be sanitized and actual court-worthy proof of genocide is really hard to come up with. We just need to relentlessly track down the perpetrators of such crimes and make sure that the sentence is meeted out.
A man on board a steamship was infected and they let him off at the Mandan villages. That was the start of an epidemic of an especially virulent strain of smallpox that spread throughout the region. Although it hit the Mandans the hardest, other tribes suffered through this round as well.
Who were the first ones here? Did the first peoples come from Asia or from somewhere else? We all have fallen natures so nothing will ever be perfect here. That being said, yes, the humanity of the indigenous peoples is often ignored. Fr. DeSmet tried and in some cases succeeded in helping the native peoples to transition to a new way of life. Bad habits and ideas of some of peoples coming here ruined any attempt to help all the indigenous peoples. The result was the near annihilation of the indigenous peoples. Hopefully the future will see a realization of the value of what the indigenous peoples can still give to this country.
There was a 'near annihilation of the indigenous people." Good grief... no one is indigenous, warring was constant across this continent among warring tribes wanting dominion, and the land, of peaceful tribes... Far more Indians died at the hands of Indians.
The way it was always told to me the Corp of discovery was at the mercy of and,/or had the sympathy of the peoples of Missouri river and the western pass. Really from word go with the Mandan. I also thought they had Saquawiage (ok I can't even pretend to remember how to spell her name) did most of the bartering for the expedition when they encountered tribes for trade or to negotiate as pass through.
The way they wrote it in their journals indicates that Lewis and Clarke held Sacagawea in high esteem. They disliked Charbanot(her husband),but liked and trusted her. After the trip ended William Clarke adopted and took her son to raise as his own
Just as shameful as what the Comanche did to the Apaches, Tonkawa, and other plains Indians, as shameful as what the Aztecs did to neighboring tribes? Do they deserve the same condemnation? If so, why do they get a different standard? Read all history both good and bad for all people, and be careful about applying 21st century virtue to 16/17/18 century people
@@ryanenglish8047 James, point well taken. We could delve into world history and see how terrible ethnic or religious groups treated each other. I’ve always felt human beings are the most despicable of all the mammals on earth
@@wecandobetter9821 there is somebody always at the ready with their “what about isms”. As if all atrocities and intent are equal. Almost all tribes practiced a form of blood law which in effect limited violence to some degree. Tribes didn’t fight wars of attrition with each other, though colonization tended to turn that on its head. Sure talk about middle and South American tribes and their practice of human sacrifice. Reprehensible for sure, but for subordinate tribes it was a twisted form of taxation and not a means to wipe other tribes out. Not sure what he is talking about what the Comanche did to the Apache, they didn’t really fight over Territory and mostly were allies of sorts. During the Comanche Wars they did commit some of the most reprehensible acts of violence and torture, but they were defending their homeland. Would you sit by passively and let outsiders invade your homeland and threaten your way of life? But this doesn’t even get to the question of why Comanches even exist in the first place. They were a relatively new tribe, an offshoot from northern tribes who moved south and started absorbing other tribes into theirs. The displacement of tribes from their native lands and pressure from colonization trickled west and caused most of the tribal conflict we know about.
Oh my. Such sanctimony - exactly what the vid producer wanted to elicit... Then go back to Europe? No? Then to Africa where u and American Indians, and all mankind, originated.
I dont believe that Noah and his family were the only survivors of the ancient flood. I do believe God or the Great Spirit had a people in different places spotted around the globe who lived by their conscience and His presence in their lives that He saved Noah was a Godly representation of how the Great Spirit survived peoples who abided by His wishes

The stories I was taught in school about the Lewis Clark Journey did not dismiss the importance of Native Americans to the success of the journey at all, just the opposite, the help of people like the Nez Perce and Sacagawea was emphasized and that was 30+ years ago.
They made it sound like it was ok to kill steal and pillage genocide they left that part out in school they made us look like heathens we were just protecting our land and food for that we were massacred they left that out !!

Ms Wood, some of us here in TX have been educated quite extensively on both Lewis and Clark, and Robert E. Lee. They are all deeply complicated characters. I have read multiple biographies on Lewis and Clark as well as Lee, Grant, Sherman, Stewart, Mead etc. etc. Please don't cast a net over everyone in a group. I assert that that has caused many disagreements
Loved the video. I knew from reading "undaunted courage" that the different indian tribes played a hugh role in the success of lewis and clarke. I feel sad that indians would lose so much in the end. It's shameful the way the european conquerers treated those whose land they were stealing.
Do you remember the part about the Sioux in Iowa and the Blackfeet in Montana? Not all indians were open arms and friendly.
Can't steal from someone who didn't know they owned anything in the first place. Indians had no concept of owning land or horses until White man told them. Indians still didn't understand. Indians benefited only when th he Spanish gave then horses.
Steve Maviver these people are so brainwashed, it’s not worth responding to them.
Native Indians lost almost everything in life - but yet the black people want everything given to them freely where they have no right. It belongs to the indigenous peoples of North America. They need their land back to protect it from over oil fracking and of natural gas which is destroying our lands. 100,000's of fracking wells are in the southern states and causing earthquakes. Man destroys all! Salmon eggs are sold to Japan for a profit while there are few salmon eggs left to bring the salmon back into our streams - and it is blamed on over fishing - not true!
@@danboone5672 True. This fact: The Spanish provided the horses (indirectly) to the American Indians a hundred years before L&C came thru... They will not acknowledge.
Now it’s all about money and keep out signs.
Build mansions high on the mountain.
One day the people’s way will return.
It has changed so much in my 60+years I sometimes wonder where I am.
In nature’s way a thousand years is a blink of an eye.
These people knew clean water pure air and sustainable ways. Respect and love of the land.
Now it’s a bear in the neighborhood,, kill it! How dare it try to live?
I always camped and could return next year. All could enjoy. Now it’s sell it for homesites forever changed in our life times. It is sad.

Yes, please no signs. Signs like blight that kills the beauty.
@@christineveazey4345 Sure, and all of you sanctimonious types... take the gates off your property and the locks off your doors...
At long last at least some of the white tribe are coming to understand the "spirit" of the land (and Earth and Universe) and the need to love and protect it - which is the essence of "spirituality." This part of the white tribe now recognizes the hubris and selfishness and ignorance of our own forebears and appreciates the superior wisdom of indigenous peoples around the world in this regard. Those who truly understand the Lewis and Clark Expedition are fully aware that it would not have succeeded without the able and kind and honorable assistance of native peoples along the way. Nor can we fail to respect the unfriendly response of such a "trespass" by those few natives that L&C encountered who keenly recognized what their presence portended. It is with both deep gratitude to L&C's friends along the way, and sorrow for much of what came later, that we from this segment of the white tribe now regard this historic adventure. The full and complete story should be taught in every school.
FYI...Fact is, not everyone is happy, period! This is something I learned as a kid growing up with my grandparents and neighbors; ¨Son, there're many tongues, plenty of ears, fairly good eyes to only see darkness, fingers to point across and an empty skull to believe what you feel!¨
So very beautiful people and land. My heart goes out to all Native Americans. We can never repay You Dear People for what was taken from You. It upsets Me when I hear these crybabies complaining about their civil rights being so called violated. God be withYou Good People. Antoine Tony Allemand
Go back to Europe then... or the cradle of mankind - Africa.
Fascinating thank you
Very interesting to hear what all of the humble Native Tribe Members are talking about in this Video.
Most of the new arrivals coming from Europe to the New World would not have survived the first winter without the help of the Native American people. Most of the white arrivals would have starved to death without being given food as well as seeds and instructions by Native Tribe people regarding how to raise Corn, Squash, Beans and dried Meat and dried Fish as well as many other eatable goods for sure. Those who helped a lot were pretty soon later betrayed, killed, or just chased and driven out of their homes and precious land. And all of the U.S. Presidents were directly involved in one of the biggest blunder and land grab and unjust behavior ever since. It had started with the first President and it has not yet ended with the latest recent President which is part of the ongoing blunder and the Dakota Access Oil Pipeline issue in S.D. affecting the Lakota Tribe as well as the ongoing cheating attempt by the federal government against the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
Gross exaggeration on both sides of your statement. Also, fact: The Spanish provided the horses to the American Indians a hundred years before L&C came thru...
@@billhosko7723 Gross exaggeration ? - You might have missed a few important disgusting historical details of what was done to the First Nations People by European Immigrants after 1500 until nowadays.
The greatest nightmare today would be to imagine "Aliens" coming by spaceship and once they landed 75% of us would die of disease, then they would dictate the terms and would ask us to feed them, all the while we are displaced into smaller and a more sparse locations. Then without consultation we would hear that they could claim and take over any areas they wanted. How would we react??!!!
I only know the spirituality holy people out in space......no fear😉
Alien Invaders. We would set them up with a condominium plan, take there deposit, and they would be so miserable that they would go back home again.
Do not forget that Lewis and Clarke lost a lot of there money to the Indian Casino's as they went along the trails.
Disease doesn’t work that way, it didn’t evolve to infect us. It’s the same reason why movies about aliens that come to earth to eat us are so ridiculous, it would be like if you tried to eat grass. If they could master interstellar travel than their technology would make us insignificant.
We deserve it.
Hey 'Alein'... move back to Europe then.. or better yet, go further in your history - Africa.
Beautiful story
If you read the journals (and it sounds as though many of the speakers did not), you will see that the "gangs" of tribes warring on, murdering, enslaving and stealing from each other, not to mention the utter poverty, disease and ignorance they found, was nothing to be nostalgic for. Many tribes were starving and had nothing, either from natural or human disasters. Not to say the native cultures were not of any value in themselves, and many very noble, but they were as varied as any could be. The tribe that L&C regarded highest were the Nez Perce, but they were very sympathetic to the plights of the tribes and "those pore people". The sad part of the story is that the good will L&C left with most of the tribes was destroyed, almost inevitably, in the clash of American and native tribes. The largest tribe won, as always. It could have been so much better. But then it wouldn't be history.
Sound assessment.

Lewis and Clark discovered, explored, mapped and opened up the wilderness! Their fantastic expedition truly was the Corp of Discovery!
as they gave the rivers with already a name, a false name...that is not discovering but playing the hero as they were payed to eliminate everything or to steal terrain, they made new maps to destroy what exists already, no congenital can find some true things back on these maps. Only geographical things as there are The Black Hills, rivers...plains without a name you can see on the map, if not changed. So they look at the maps with their hearts.
I love Montana🤗💜
You and me both, Sharon! Greetings from a Norwegian who would love to go to Montana!
Good Video
Tribes had many conflicts over tribal boudaries. A lot of changes in residency and dominance of tribes over the centuries. Sacagawea allied with the Lewis and Clark Expedition recognizing their military advantages that could help the Shoshone .
OMG my birth do you think they're still alive after that!? 0-0?
The native Indians were truly connected to nature an spirt world an for Europeans that was a threat the Europeans only saw wealth an greed
Yah... and here u sit, in greed upon, 'their' land and u don't move back to Europe... or the true origins of man, Africa.

These are beautiful people, but there is nothing that they earned or deserved by virtue of their ancestors. Life changes and lands are conquered. Certainly every indigenous tribe understood that all land of the earth are obtained and lost by force and the ebb and flow of civilization and barbarism clash. Even Mother nature who they so loved and worshiped was a cruel taskmaster too. All the idealism of this video, while beautiful, is manufactured in the mind of those unable to move beyond their past. All history has shown that life moves past each and every one of us. The most liberal, progressive, multicultural, revolutionary sympathetic to the native people, are all the same to those who would claim absolute right to the pre Columbus Americas. To them we are all trespassers, abusers, domineering criminals who should renounce our property, land and government. Compelling, but ultimately pointless.
According to spiritual laws though a man must reap what he sows, so far from pointless, as are people's reactions, which betrays the state of their souls. No genuine human being can look upon the desecration of the native indians and be anything less than distraught, especially when one sees both the damage done to their ancestors, and mother earth.
It is said that not even a leaf can fall without it evoking some form of accountability in the laws of Creation, and within the wheel of reincarnation somewhere are these greedy, murderous despots, awaiting their fruits, maybe even on the reservation, and if one gazes over mother earth once more, then we see them everywhere now, abusers in many forms.
Thus, now the indians prophecies must be fulfilled, and unless people develop a sense of caring and respecting others, their lands, and mother nature, then they will not be permitted any further incarnations and the earth will be destroyed. This is justice, and most certainly not pointless, for why do we live here but to develop the character of our spirits, so that through joy and sorrow, we may one day leave this wheel of reincarnation and ascend to our real home, Paradise, where eternal life awaits those who make a point of at least noticing these events, and perhaps shedding a tear or too, for it was truly despicable what the white man generally did, and still does, on almost all levels, although this malady is now spread throughout all the races. Man has fallen deeply, as was forewarned!
And it cannot but lead to spiritual death, even if people are unaware of their spiritual indolence that begets the deep slumber of their spirits, which are entombed within their material desires. Man was meant to be a servant, who served his Creator and thus became a responsible steward of the earth, but instead became a desecrator of all things inwardly beautfiul, as he sought domination over the earth, and thus over God and His laws. And this intuitive sense of beauty is where we need to begin, by bringing it and the spiritual sense of balance into all our activites, and to open up to the grace and power of the Great Spirit, for He will guide us, if we but listen to His hearkening call by opening up our spirits. Let there be Light!
God gave us dominion over the earth and all its creatures.
You do know that native Americans roasted people alive that they captured from other tribes long before you’re hated white man came along?
I don't think they want revenge, they are talking about history, how things were. They were people and yes, some were cruel. But they lived here and thrived for thousands of years, and they were almost annihilated by Europeans. I think it is sad, I am not proud of my country for that. It didn't have to be that way.
@@tilesetter1953 In these end days we live, as clearly they are as prophesied by the native tribes of the Americas, I feel it is about recognition and discernment, so that the necessary changes can be made. Therefore, a certain amount of self-reflection is needed, but with the spirit and intuition, which is always linked to truth and the laws of Creation, as on higher planes and of the Great, or Holy Spirit, if you will. Then the wrong ways can be discarded, and a bridge built to the new ways , which will far more resemble the ways of the indigenous tribes, than those of the white race, although greed, lust for power and other evil traits have spread akin to cancer into all races now.
This I feel is the key to the history and culture of the native indians, and the promised Apocalypse along with the possibility of a new earth where the lands will be returned to the indigenous tribes, and when the great Creator's hand will be revealed and reign on earth, finally, across all the remaining lands. However, it is for men to bring this about by transforming their mindset, and way of living, for they must now surrender thenselves completely to the spiritual powers that constantly stream through creation, and descend upon the earth.
Generally speaking, man has been ignoring them and so does not absorb of his daily bread, so he becomes weaker as he is divorced from the power that could sustain and support him. So then he seeks to compensate for this weakness by desiring only the materialistic things in life, along with the heart of a woman, and thus his perception narrows as he sins against the laws of the spirit, and so he cannot see his wrongs, for he has then become a rapacious beast who strives for more and more lands, women, and the wealth of others, and takes it through deceit or violence, and does so now without a conscience. The greatest crimes of this nature were perpetrated against the native indians, even to an extraordinary psychopathic degree, as you rightly said, and it seems good to grieve these events, for perhaps by doing so we forgive ourselves in some small or great way, for we know not our past deeds of former lives, although maybe such feelings are the longings for our previous way of living, and a desire to live this way once more.
This then is the propesied Fall of Man, symbolically represented by the taking of the apple due to the sensual and sexual attraction of the woman, with all the evil karmic effects and ties that come with this form of idolatry, and they must now be relinquished by changing, or we will fall without trace into eternal perdition, the worst thing to befall the human spirit. This is why the history of the native indians, including their prophecies, is so vital to all our survivals, spiritual and physical, as it makes possible the rebirth of man and the earth , but not... as you rightly said, in the form of retribution against the white man, or any other race for that matter.
Vengeance will be God's alone through the law of cause and effect, for each and every man and nation. Besides who knows where those Indians are now, maybe, as the book Return of the Bird Tribes prophesied, they may have reincarnated amongst the white and other races. Thank you for your thoughtful, kind and discerning thoughts on this matter, and blessed be, in these, the darkest hours and days of an erring mankind!

You folks had it 'right' (all tribes). But if I could pick a time & place to have been born and lived it would be with the Blackfeet (Piegan, Blood or Blackfeet), about 1760 prior to 'first contact'. Gorgeous country! Great society in all aspects. I know of no better way to live. How exhilarating it must have been to hunt buffalo with a bow from horseback!!! There have been many, many times I've sat quietly on a hill overlooking the Marias (found a hide scraping stone one of those days and left it there), or stood waste deep in the Gallatin, or walked in the fall cottonwoods of the Missouri and considered quietly how nice it must have been for you. I could go on and on ...
@@mikealstott6033 they did try to kill me, I might have been at fault, not a good idea to go to their pow wow and start picking up girls.
White people (Columbus) brought horses to the new country. You can either hunt on horseback with natives or you can hang out with them before "first contact"....you cant do both. Before that, they started forest fires that burned uncontrolled and they ran whole herds off of buffalo jumps. Come up to our beautiful state and look where the remains of buffalo are 20 feet deep at the bottom of these cliffs...realize that there was no way to keep all of that meat (the average buffalo is about 900 lbs) and most of it was wasted. Whole herds killed in one day.....whole forests burned.
@@Gekokujo76 The natives were generally greatly appreciative of mother nature, and lived far more in harmony with it than the current races, especially the white man. And I have no doubt many lies were nurtured to conceal and temper the atrocities committed by the white poeple of the time. Anyway those times are gone, but the need to treat our fellow men, regardless of race and colour, and nature, with respect, is not, and neither is the karma that very indiviudal has built up through the ages. Now atonement awaits us all in the enormous storm that sweeps the earth, as according to their prophecies, the only question it seems to me is will there be any men still standing at end of it in about 40 years time, for what a man sows, he must surely reap.
Niall O'Neill cool story. You should get off the internet and go be one with nature.
Good grief. European intruder not willing to go back... American Indian: Typical death by age 50, on foot, no horses (Spanish brought them)... continual conflicts between warring tribes and peaceful ones, over land. Losers: killed, sent away or enslaved.

Many years ago in my youth I found a cave high up on Saddle Mountain which went deep inside that mountain. Very few if any know where this place is located. In the 1800's a miner kept going to Seaside Oregon with bags of big beautiful gold found in a cave which he said was 18 miles east of the town. People kept trying to follow him to the cave but none has ever found it. Some believe that he was killed by Indians. When I was looking at a big rock cliff I saw hundreds of birds and bats flying into the cave. I kept watching this area and realized how deep that cave went into the mountain. Who knows what that mountain hides to this very day. Perhaps the cave is protected by the bear or Bigfoot - beware.

Like Columbus, Lewis and Clark discovered absolutely nothing other than a People’s that lived life in accordance to their specific lands topography had to offer as Mother Earth has done to all who learn how to live with nature and not against it. You can’t claim anything that is already inhabited and take credit for a discovery. Might as well go discover the moon! Oh wait, that’s already been done. Doh! 😅
When he says, "We have always been here." Actually....no. Your ancestors migrated there, just like mine did. I will acknowledge that yours got here before mine, but neither of our peoples have "always been here."
They have been here long enough to become indigenous to the lands. They built civilizations, cultivated the lands of north and south America, their influence is deeply soaked into these continents. Nobody ever discredits the European homelands.

How did the Mandan succumb to smallpox. Is it true that diseased blankets were brought to them from St Louis?
I'm sure this may have happened unintentionally on multiple occasions, but I'm not aware of this happening with the American Indians along Lewis & Clark's route. The one instance that I know about where it WAS intentionally done, literally for the purposes of biological warfare, occurred during the French & Indian War (circa 1755-1762). The person responsible for it was British General Geoffrey Amherst.
@@andreweden9405 Of course the histories are going to be sanitized and actual court-worthy proof of genocide is really hard to come up with. We just need to relentlessly track down the perpetrators of such crimes and make sure that the sentence is meeted out.
A man on board a steamship was infected and they let him off at the Mandan villages. That was the start of an epidemic of an especially virulent strain of smallpox that spread throughout the region. Although it hit the Mandans the hardest, other tribes suffered through this round as well.
Nobody understood the transmission of viruses, bacteria and the like back then, or what they were for that matter.

Who were the first ones here? Did the first peoples come from Asia or from somewhere else? We all have fallen natures so nothing will ever be perfect here. That being said, yes, the humanity of the indigenous peoples is often ignored. Fr. DeSmet tried and in some cases succeeded in helping the native peoples to transition to a new way of life. Bad habits and ideas of some of peoples coming here ruined any attempt to help all the indigenous peoples. The result was the near annihilation of the indigenous peoples. Hopefully the future will see a realization of the value of what the indigenous peoples can still give to this country.
There was a 'near annihilation of the indigenous people." Good grief... no one is indigenous, warring was constant across this continent among warring tribes wanting dominion, and the land, of peaceful tribes... Far more Indians died at the hands of Indians.
Finally the real history
Not entirely... The Spanish provided the horses to the American Indians a hundred years before L&C came thru...
No wonder they were overcome.
The way it was always told to me the Corp of discovery was at the mercy of and,/or had the sympathy of the peoples of Missouri river and the western pass. Really from word go with the Mandan. I also thought they had Saquawiage (ok I can't even pretend to remember how to spell her name) did most of the bartering for the expedition when they encountered tribes for trade or to negotiate as pass through.
The way they wrote it in their journals indicates that Lewis and Clarke held Sacagawea in high esteem. They disliked Charbanot(her husband),but liked and trusted her. After the trip ended William Clarke adopted and took her son to raise as his own
Ummmm who’s going to tell them! 🫣

What the Europeans who settled in North America did to the Native Americans is absolutely shameful. Definitely a shameful event is history
Just as shameful as what the Comanche did to the Apaches, Tonkawa, and other plains Indians, as shameful as what the Aztecs did to neighboring tribes? Do they deserve the same condemnation? If so, why do they get a different standard? Read all history both good and bad for all people, and be careful about applying 21st century virtue to 16/17/18 century people

@@wecandobetter9821 there is somebody always at the ready with their “what about isms”. As if all atrocities and intent are equal. Almost all tribes practiced a form of blood law which in effect limited violence to some degree. Tribes didn’t fight wars of attrition with each other, though colonization tended to turn that on its head. Sure talk about middle and South American tribes and their practice of human sacrifice. Reprehensible for sure, but for subordinate tribes it was a twisted form of taxation and not a means to wipe other tribes out.
Not sure what he is talking about what the Comanche did to the Apache, they didn’t really fight over Territory and mostly were allies of sorts. During the Comanche Wars they did commit some of the most reprehensible acts of violence and torture, but they were defending their homeland. Would you sit by passively and let outsiders invade your homeland and threaten your way of life? But this doesn’t even get to the question of why Comanches even exist in the first place. They were a relatively new tribe, an offshoot from northern tribes who moved south and started absorbing other tribes into theirs. The displacement of tribes from their native lands and pressure from colonization trickled west and caused most of the tribal conflict we know about.
