Mescalero Apache here... I really enjoyed your story. I love listening to the past and how wild my people were. I'm glad we survived and are still around today. We are few but still here on the reservation.
I'm Yavapai Native American and my ancestors used to be war allies with the tonto, pinal, aravaipa, and some cibecue apaches long ago. Both people used to fight together against neighboring tribes, the mexicans, americans etc.
I apologize for the crap the founders pulled on you guys.....you were more than caring and generous! Good on you. I'm glad ur still here too because I love to learn your teachings and think you're kind/knowledgeable people's
Marshall Trimble as Arizona's official state historian, is pure GOLD ! I tried to get into his classes at Scottsdale Comm. College and was never able to connect it up. I sure would love to meet the man some day.
I just binge watched all the Marshall Trimble episodes. What a treasure he is. Hope he's doing well. Thanks for bringing us great work. Lvya all much. Shalom. D
Another great segment. I just love listening about these stories and seeing the old photos. I can just visualizing how rough it was like during those dark times just by those photos and the story itself. Thanks for sharing
Love this videos, I was working at TRW in Mesa in 1995 Heard some of these stories. Only if I was younger I would go back and do some hiking and exploring.
Brilliant story teller!! This man is fascinating to listen to!! I'm British and I never knew any of this history!! Thank you very much for your excellent programs!!
This is some heartbreaking real history that should really make us look around and see that no matter what color skin you have were all human. 😑 but yet we're still divided. God bless everyone tonight 🙏

I actually saw a hip bone as well as finger bones when I visited this cave. Bullet holes are still in the cave walls. I was pretty young when we went there, it was a hell a of hike to get up to it. Boat trip in to gain access.
The last of my tribe is the story of Mike Burns...a 7 yr old captured by the Cavalry on the way to his tribes cave Skull Cave...he tells the story of The Skull Cave Massacre...then went on to become a US Army scout for General Crook...died in 1932 at Ft McDowell...
How's it interesting ??? This idiot keeps calling my people indians. !!!!!!! We don't come from India .!!!!!!!! That's a totally different continent . If you want to make this an educational warfare let me know.
Kathleen Stevens the Pima and a lot of the other tribes around the salt river are getting paid through the casinos and shopping centers that have been constructed on their lands. The last time I drove in that area I saw nice houses instead of run down trailers and broken down cars. The tribes are getting their poop together and getting educated and becoming businessmen. I'm glad to see that because when I was a kid we lived at the border of the Pima res and Scottsdale and the Pima would come to get liquor and I recall some bad wrecks that involve drunk Pima people who were killed riding in the back of pickup truck.
the tribes treated each other worse than whites ever did...pima hated the apache, as did the navajo...they had a thousand yrs of warfare that put ISIS to shame before the whites conquered them...and btw...most tribes cut off the noses of unfaithful women...its the reason for Geronimos last breakout when they told him he couldnt...so i would learn about the individual tribe....and btw the Mexicans were 10 times worse than the US Army...learn, read,digest...
Yeah because the Indians we're completely innocent, I hope you caught my sarcasm there. There's a reason they were called Savages. They they treated each other worse than we could think about, not only that they did some really shity things. Read up on the Comanches, and then get back to me.
@Al Schuck you don't know me, I'm an avid Outdoorsman and Hunter. And I respect our lands, I pick up trash when I am out hiking and hunting. I always take way more out than I bring in. And by the way I've been on many reservations, a lot of them are run down with trash everywhere. You can't blame anyone other than the tribe for that situation. So get off your fucking high horse pun intended. I'm sure you're still blaming the white man for the decline of buffalo populations. Even though it is proven that there were bands of Native Americans that joined in on the mass slaughter of the Buffalo. You need to read Dan Flores works.
Amazing information and details . The Indians always got the short end of the stick but some did not want peace . I have been out in that area , I don't think modern man could live there , like he said it;s very rough .
Bottom line, they didn't want their land and their livelihood stolen from them. That's what happened, regardless of what the government did in portraying their innocence.
I really look forward to your videos. I know its hot as a red headed stepchild in AZ right now but you guys should do some more videos out in the field like the one showing that old cashe, it would be awesome to see skull cave... hint hint haha
It was done in segments at separate times/locations with filmed questions edited in to appear to be asked at the time that the interview was taking place. Still a great video and story.
Looks like that area was used in all the lone ranger shows and movies,now I know its located in the state of arizona,very interesting,can never learn too much about history.
I wish we knew so much more about the Native Americans. How far back can we find recorded history of their civilisations? I wish we could glimpse back in time. So fascinating.
This the cave that Duck Holmes showed to Brownie Holmes when teaching him about the mountains and how to survive. He was shown this cave and explained how this is what we did. In Brownie time as a kid it still smelt like rotting flesh.
That's beautiful country.. I no That country.. was born an raised in Arizona.. if you no tht country you would no why they left the bodies their.. it's very rugged.. very rugged country.
Fifty years ago I inherited 120 acres around fort thomas. Globe area and sold it without knowing the history of the area. Did know the apaches have a reservation thereabouts
Not true but that could be said about any race in a new land Indians knew the land were to look for water & food take any one or thang and place it in a place that strange and over night can be a fight just to live,
This sounds like the place I always heard called the Treasure Cave . So-called because they found some things that the Indians had collected on their raids. It was referenced in an old History of Arizona book that had a description of things related to the mile-markers along the road.
Humans are curious creatures. From the dawn of time, they have been motivated by either quest or conquest, many times resulting in horribly, unfortunate, consequences. That said, had it not been for this unquenchable desire as a species, to better ourselves, broaden our horizons and attain the presumably unattainable, instead of viewing this video on the internet, we would still be huddling around a fire, painting on cave walls to communicate and stitching together animal skins to keep warm. Our history, is our history, the good, the bad and the ugly. It cannot be changed to suit our happiness, nor our remorse. We would all do well to embrace it, learn from it and move forward, lest we be doomed to repeat it. God bless America.
I am from Northern Virginia and a big history buff of the old west. Have never been to Arizona. Which major city would I fly to in order to visit the old forts and such. Phoenix? Enjoyed the video. . Nothing that good on TV anymore good except maybe the reality shows or shows from the 60"s.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought skull cave was located at Apache lake just to the east of horse Mesa dam and on the north side of the lake. Thanks for sharing
Marshall name drops King Woolsey. Instantly backs up his history nerd cred. But I think he brushes past the whole Mike Burns section. Mike was not with his people in the cave. He was captured by soldiers near 4 Peaks and forced to show his people's hiding place. ICYMI Mike Burns was forced to lead soldiers to the cave where he saw them massacre his family and 50 other of his people. He also wrote a book...
I made 5 expeditions searching the superstition mountains for the LDM ..a lot of what he told you about fort Mc Dowell is true and some of those details are backed up in the LDM legend ...I have over 700 photo of the mountains in fine detail it took over 60 hours to document a 3 mile area of the trails and area ..,great video . and yes I am the Blind Bowman from upstate NY ..
I ask everyone that goes into the mountains to use common scents and sound logic when doing trips into the area .. respect the wild life and beauty of the area and know one mistake can be your last .and these mountains will test your health and metal will being so ...I learn the cost first hand my brother started bleeding from the noise hiking up of the step mountains . it would be the start of a battle with heart damage ,so if your out there and get sick or don't feel well stop on the trail and rest a few minutes and pace your self .. you are safe on the trail for the most part ..and what ever you do don't panic ! .stay safe stay free

*Marshall Trimble really needs to do a full Personal and Military Biography Documentary on General George Crook, for RUclips.* *The content is sparse and General Crook is a most worthy Figure in History, his true story warrants having a respectable Production.* Best regards, Beth Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist and Historian
Beth: I agree with you that such a documentary would be a great idea however, we receive monthly reviews from RUclips and we have learned a great deal from them. We have 5,000,000 views world wide and the report of “minutes viewed tells us that people do not view a story in full if they story goes beyond 30 minutes We had one fellow who told stories 45 to 60 minutes and full views died a significant death. we found that 10 to 15 minutes was the best time frame to hold most peoples attention span. At the museum I held explanations of exhibits to one minute or observed people walking away beyond that. So, how long would such a documentary, as you describe take? And how many would actually view it in full? We compromise with our audience, very few demand longer stories but the facts support two things. One: few complaints come from a shorter story and two: they want Dutchman related stories. Once we deviate from the Dutchman views drop substantially. We have one Dutchman story with over 800,000 views while a military story beyond the Superstitions Did poorly. Marshall is out of the picture now and as the only speaker left I would not attempt to put such a documentary together knowing what people really want.
This Marshall is a very good Story Teller He knows all the facts and acceptet the nativ as humans with all the same rights every human have This Nation USA do good to clear this bad things that were Done from both sides But i dont see the will by the goverment and the president So these Wounds never heal and infectet the whole Nation again and again Yours Frank Galetzka
Learning the history we didn’t learn in school is very heartbreaking. I dont understand why they cant try to make amends in some sort of fashion. All we learned about the Native Americans was with Cristopher Columbus (who did not discover America), but it was severely sugar coated, and Thanksgiving which was also sugar coated. We should have learned about ALL of the tribes and their accomplishments and struggles, and what reeeeally happened to them....it should have been history that was taught and not white washed. I would have been eager to learn about it in school, and I am still eager now.
Of course he treats them like humans. He's lived around them his whole life. Not just some characters in a history book. Now what are we supposed to do about something completely out of our control. Atrocities hat happened decades ago. Between people who both thought they were doing what was best for the greater good of the people at the time. Who had a completely different set of values than we. History is to be learned from and not dwelled upon. Holding others at present responsible for your situation because of something that was done to someone else over a hundred years ago is insane. Weather it be what happened to the native Americans or slavery or the Spanish Inquisition for the sake of argument. This new trend of vertue signiling has taken the place in society that racism and bigotry filled in the past. And is just as harmful in its causing separation and striff between people. The only thing we owe others wether it be of different colors,race or gender is the basic respect we owe to every human. And the only thing that others owe us is that same respect.
Better than historians trying to reimagine what “could have been” like some idealistic armchair quarterback. The guy sure knows some interesting history but I can’t stand when people feel the need to wrap things up by saying “and it was just terrible that everyone couldn’t have been nicer to the natives”...I don’t know if it’s a CYA to keep native groups and BLM types from calling him racist but he just got done telling the well known history of certain tribes violence, and how they refused to stop living by the raider lifestyle, then almost immediately flip flops to pretending there was a way they were gonna be dealt with besides the gun....while the victor often writes the history (id argue thats less true than the biggest whiner writing the tale of victimhood in many cases) the biggest distortion of history is to let our modern day view of what’s acceptable or right make us ignore one side, or both sides claims. In the case of the natives we have both settlers and peaceful natives acknowledging the “never surrender” attitude of some of the warlike tribes. You have to say the evidence points to THEM being the ones to instigate a lot of the shit. They also should be blamed for not holding out an olive branch to such a technologically superior civilization. No matter who was here first that’s like humans trying to fight aliens. You’re SO much better off taking the offer to set up a space casino and anyone with common sense back then had to see that too....let’s look at history through the eyes of the people who were there not the guilt ridden white people being suckered into apologies by the people who want to profit off of victimhood today.
I wish the victor got to write the history because the world would be a lot less annoying and people would probably understand what really happened in the past better. You would know that white American men are not in fact responsible for all the tragedy in the world, you’d know that Israel isn’t being “too mean” to the Palestinians, and you’d know that the natives fancied themselves warriors not monks and they knew what they were getting into when they raided villages and battled US troops (and virtually everyone else)! You would know also that there has never been a true genocide by “white supremacists” on “people of color” in America (or I dare say anywhere else) like the prevailing narrative in modern times would have you think.
Anyone who puts the blame for what happened to native women and children on thee shoulders of anyone besides their own warriors that persistently attacked settlers and our military, and who refused to surrender or coexist, is like an apologist for Hamas who criticizes Israel when there’s collateral damage from them defending themselves. The real difference between the two sides in both conflicts is that the natives and islamists often tried to do their worst to the Israelis and Americans while the other side barely took the gloves off. Being incapable of inflicting harm on your enemy doesn’t make you the better guy! Like a gift, sometimes it’s just the thought and effort that counts!
from the eygptians to the romans to the greeks, etc., this is how history has been the superior in number, power taking over the inferior, so nothing has changed from then to the indians, but it's so unfortunate that people were killed in the process
Unfortunately, that’s the blight of our history as a country. A lot of it was over gold and land. And the rest was simply power and greed. The Native Americans are so strong, they survive
@@tattoofthesun the native Americans know about genocide..they erased the people BEFORE them,Caucasians and some blacks,( olmecs) At least the "native"Americans are still here..those BEFORE them are gone,thanks to the native Americans
@@jquest43 yes but you can't tell folks that cause white bad and all that. They are believing the revisionist history that's being out out now. Long before any European people came to America these tribes were enslaving each other and wiping out each other for many years let alone the people they found when they traveled here from elsewhere there were no native American people. Those that were here migrated here.
When I was a teen in school, I had a pen pal, a Mescalero (sp) Apache girl my age for several months. Her name was Gloria Magosch (sp). I often wonder what ever happened to her in all these years later.
At no point does he mention that there was any return fire. Sooo... it's really a civilian massacre then? What is really sad is the continuing justification put forward for the genocide.
@@AverageAmerican no there isnt...although this band had killed a kid down near Tucson and they were tracked all the way from there...the lead scout for the Army was raised in the cave, he led them to it...I dont deny the Indian wars were bloody unfair and downright dirty...on both sides...much like the tribal warfare for 2000 yrs before white man showed up...I admire Bourke and Crook...always have...it was after this that Crook ordered military Doctors to accompany patrols as this action had over 20 wounded enemy ....Crook spent his life advocating for the fair treatment of Indians whom quit raiding and killing whites...and advocated killing or capturing the ones who didnt...all history is bloody.
MY Mothers Aunt Evelyn Norris use to take care of and make sure the Indians had what they needed out there when she was young,, her last n as me was Norris. Her Uncle evelyns see husbands name was Ernest Norris in Tuscon back then
There's good reason why the women wouldn't surrender. While those particular men might have been honorable, the cavalry overall had a bad reputation for raping female captives. Children, too, were often slain, and the worse sort of officers told those soldiers hesitant to do so, "Nits make lice." Sometimes the children would also be raped first. How were those women to know that this time would be different?
@@Quantrills.RaidersI know you want to believe this, but it's well-documented by the diaries of the soldiers themselves. I'm not saying that all of the soldiers were like that, but enough were that it was a real cause for concern.
@@DoloresJNurss do you have a source? Of all the research ive done on the indian wars ive never seen evidence of this. Im sure it happened in isolated incidents but not enough to be a norm
Forget to mention the Apache who escaped the cave. How when he felt he was out of rifle range he stopped to shack his ass at the troopers and got his butt blown off. As I recall it over 600yds. Did it happen?
I was raised in White River before I was taken to be Americanized I remember once trucks came in with food and grandma said take the badge so they know to give you food so I stood near where they were giving boxes of food and the white guys were laughing and throwing boxes at me saying here you go catch this but I was very small and the boxes hurt when I tried to catch them.
Thank you, for sharing your difficult experience. I noticed the indigenous people of North America were targeted by world rulers, just like other indigenous people in South America, Australia, Asia, and Africa. I believe it was feared what ancient knowledge was retained. And it is not well-known, but according to the Bible, Adam seeds are in subjection to serpent seeds who are the royal bloodlines. I'm wondering if you remember any mention by your family or others of your Tribe, about the Reptile People? Also, I'm curious if you were indoctrinated into the global theory model? Or if you always knew the Earth is flat?
Did you know my mothers Aunt?? Her name was Norris her last name, I can member her first name right off darn it she come to our house when I was little, my grampa,s sister she moved out there when she's young , before i's born. But she married Bill Inabinett after her husband died, she took care of the Indians at the reservation in or around there (Tuscon) just wondering cayse haven't heard anything from any of em since my Ma died would of liked to hear from one of em
You cannot separate the deaths of the Nanni Chadi band from the quest to dam the Salt River. The farmers in the valley below wanted irrigation for their fields and were anxiously organizing to make this happen. The band lived in the mountains where the dam needed to be built and their very existence prevented Congress from approving the funds to do so. Colyers Peace Plan would permanently end their dream of a dam and after it was announced the valley farmers reformed around an effort to defeat the Peace Plan. A secret team of men masquerading as Yavapai would become "raiders" and attack traveling parties of whites in order to inflame the support for an all out war being planned by Crook. This provided the public and Washington support for Crook to murder as many Indians a s possible, but the band occupying the Salt River Canyon was most important to farmers. Those Indians ALL had to die, for their rights to the land were hereditary and any survivors would threaten their plans for the dam. Crook had been recruited to do this and had no qualms about it. The deaths of the Nanni Chadi band were prerequisite for the construction of the dam which was built forty years later, completed in 1912. The Roosevelt Dam straddles the Salt Rivers exit from the large basin, and upon its completion was the largest brick dam in the world An interesting postscript to the massacre was that Captin Burns saved one child from the Skull Cave encampment, who he adopted and raised in Boston. That child became a world famous herbalist and destroyed the myth that the "wild Indians" were incapable of being educated or living as civilized men. He was living testimony to the crimes of Crook and that farmers conspiracy, now known as the Salt River Project.
Mescalero Apache here... I really enjoyed your story. I love listening to the past and how wild my people were. I'm glad we survived and are still around today. We are few but still here on the reservation.

Humans are curious creatures. From the dawn of time, they have been motivated by either quest or conquest, many times resulting in horribly, unfortunate, consequences. That said, had it not been for this unquenchable desire as a species, to better ourselves, broaden our horizons and attain the presumably unattainable, instead of viewing this video on the internet, we would still be huddling around a fire, painting on cave walls to communicate and stitching together animal skins to keep warm. Our history, is our history, the good, the bad and the ugly. It cannot be changed to suit our happiness, nor our remorse. We would all do well to embrace it, learn from it and move forward, lest we be doomed to repeat it. God bless America.
Camp grant massacre. That was the name of the killings outside of Tucson. Several books on it, even a few from the Apache perspective. Sad deal.
I am from Northern Virginia and a big history buff of the old west. Have never been to Arizona.
Which major city would I fly to in order to visit the old forts and such. Phoenix? Enjoyed the video.
. Nothing that good on TV anymore good except maybe the reality shows or shows from the 60"s.
There are the ones that are known to the media and to the tourists. Tombstone
so so fluent,,, real easy listening and v interesting indeed,,,M😎
a yavapai scout new about the cave because he was raised there...he lead the way...the indians were dancing by firelight...Bourke writes a good book
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought skull cave was located at Apache lake just to the east of horse Mesa dam and on the north side of the lake. Thanks for sharing
Canyon Lake

After 30 plus years since I did my research, my memory isn't what it used to be. Thanks for clarifying the location.
Great Storyteller...
Marshall name drops King Woolsey. Instantly backs up his history nerd cred. But I think he brushes past the whole Mike Burns section. Mike was not with his people in the cave. He was captured by soldiers near 4 Peaks and forced to show his people's hiding place. ICYMI Mike Burns was forced to lead soldiers to the cave where he saw them massacre his family and 50 other of his people. He also wrote a book...
Very interesting!
good story thanks
I made 5 expeditions searching the superstition mountains for the LDM ..a lot of what he told you about fort Mc Dowell is true and some of those details are backed up in the LDM legend ...I have over 700 photo of the mountains in fine detail it took over 60 hours to document a 3 mile area of the trails and area ..,great video . and yes I am the Blind Bowman from upstate NY ..
I ask everyone that goes into the mountains to use common scents and sound logic when doing trips into the area .. respect the wild life and beauty of the area and know one mistake can be your last .and these mountains will test your health and metal will being so ...I learn the cost first hand my brother started bleeding from the noise hiking up of the step mountains . it would be the start of a battle with heart damage ,so if your out there and get sick or don't feel well stop on the trail and rest a few minutes and pace your self .. you are safe on the trail for the most part ..and what ever you do don't panic ! .stay safe stay free
I did a lot of rock climbing and no fear of heights, just love the fall hate the landing ...lol
I live at 6000 ft. Lol but if sick or out of shape, I feel it up higher in our mountains.
I don't believe I ever saw a picture of Geronimo smiling.
Just for everyone's knowledge,,"The desert is full of fools " just look for the green spots... be careful out there in the Sonoran. Fema region 9,dist 7,Vetrans on Patrol PIO out.
*Marshall Trimble really needs to do a full Personal and Military Biography Documentary on General George Crook, for RUclips.*
*The content is sparse and General Crook is a most worthy Figure in History, his true story warrants having a respectable Production.*

Beth:
I agree with you that such a documentary would be a great idea however, we receive monthly reviews from RUclips and we have learned a great deal from them.
We have 5,000,000 views world wide and the report of “minutes viewed tells us that people do not view a story in full if they story goes beyond 30 minutes We had one fellow who told stories 45 to 60 minutes and full views died a significant death. we found that 10 to 15 minutes was the best time frame to hold most peoples attention span. At the museum I held explanations of exhibits to one minute or observed people walking away beyond that.
So, how long would such a documentary, as you describe take? And how many would actually view it in full?
We compromise with our audience, very few demand longer stories but the facts support two things. One: few complaints come from a shorter story and two: they want Dutchman related stories.
Once we deviate from the Dutchman views drop substantially. We have one Dutchman story with over 800,000 views while a military story beyond the Superstitions
Did poorly. Marshall is out of the picture now and as the only speaker left I would not attempt to put such a documentary together knowing what people really want.
This Marshall is a very good Story Teller
He knows all the facts and acceptet the nativ as humans with all the same rights every human have
This Nation USA do good to clear this bad things that were Done from both sides
But i dont see the will by the goverment and the president
So these Wounds never heal and infectet the whole Nation again and again

Learning the history we didn’t learn in school is very heartbreaking. I dont understand why they cant try to make amends in some sort of fashion. All we learned about the Native Americans was with Cristopher Columbus (who did not discover America), but it was severely sugar coated, and Thanksgiving which was also sugar coated. We should have learned about ALL of the tribes and their accomplishments and struggles, and what reeeeally happened to them....it should have been history that was taught and not white washed. I would have been eager to learn about it in school, and I am still eager now.
Of course he treats them like humans. He's lived around them his whole life. Not just some characters in a history book.
Now what are we supposed to do about something completely out of our control. Atrocities hat happened decades ago. Between people who both thought they were doing what was best for the greater good of the people at the time. Who had a completely different set of values than we. History is to be learned from and not dwelled upon. Holding others at present responsible for your situation because of something that was done to someone else over a hundred years ago is insane. Weather it be what happened to the native Americans or slavery or the Spanish Inquisition for the sake of argument. This new trend of vertue signiling has taken the place in society that racism and bigotry filled in the past. And is just as harmful in its causing separation and striff between people. The only thing we owe others wether it be of different colors,race or gender is the basic respect we owe to every human. And the only thing that others owe us is that same respect.
Take us on a trip to Black Cross Butte..
Interesting.
The victor writes the history.
Better than historians trying to reimagine what “could have been” like some idealistic armchair quarterback. The guy sure knows some interesting history but I can’t stand when people feel the need to wrap things up by saying “and it was just terrible that everyone couldn’t have been nicer to the natives”...I don’t know if it’s a CYA to keep native groups and BLM types from calling him racist but he just got done telling the well known history of certain tribes violence, and how they refused to stop living by the raider lifestyle, then almost immediately flip flops to pretending there was a way they were gonna be dealt with besides the gun....while the victor often writes the history (id argue thats less true than the biggest whiner writing the tale of victimhood in many cases) the biggest distortion of history is to let our modern day view of what’s acceptable or right make us ignore one side, or both sides claims. In the case of the natives we have both settlers and peaceful natives acknowledging the “never surrender” attitude of some of the warlike tribes. You have to say the evidence points to THEM being the ones to instigate a lot of the shit. They also should be blamed for not holding out an olive branch to such a technologically superior civilization. No matter who was here first that’s like humans trying to fight aliens. You’re SO much better off taking the offer to set up a space casino and anyone with common sense back then had to see that too....let’s look at history through the eyes of the people who were there not the guilt ridden white people being suckered into apologies by the people who want to profit off of victimhood today.
I wish the victor got to write the history because the world would be a lot less annoying and people would probably understand what really happened in the past better. You would know that white American men are not in fact responsible for all the tragedy in the world, you’d know that Israel isn’t being “too mean” to the Palestinians, and you’d know that the natives fancied themselves warriors not monks and they knew what they were getting into when they raided villages and battled US troops (and virtually everyone else)! You would know also that there has never been a true genocide by “white supremacists” on “people of color” in America (or I dare say anywhere else) like the prevailing narrative in modern times would have you think.
Anyone who puts the blame for what happened to native women and children on thee shoulders of anyone besides their own warriors that persistently attacked settlers and our military, and who refused to surrender or coexist, is like an apologist for Hamas who criticizes Israel when there’s collateral damage from them defending themselves. The real difference between the two sides in both conflicts is that the natives and islamists often tried to do their worst to the Israelis and Americans while the other side barely took the gloves off. Being incapable of inflicting harm on your enemy doesn’t make you the better guy! Like a gift, sometimes it’s just the thought and effort that counts!
from the eygptians to the romans to the greeks, etc., this is how history has been the superior in number, power taking over the inferior, so nothing has changed from then to the indians, but it's so unfortunate that people were killed in the process
i read the book on the border with crook, really cool stories
"extermination" call it what it truly was GENOCIDE
They exterminated the ancient Caucasians before them
Unfortunately, that’s the blight of our history as a country. A lot of it was over gold and land. And the rest was simply power and greed. The Native Americans are so strong, they survive
@@tattoofthesun the native Americans know about genocide..they erased the people BEFORE them,Caucasians and some blacks,( olmecs)
At least the "native"Americans are still here..those BEFORE them are gone,thanks to the native Americans
@@jquest43 yes but you can't tell folks that cause white bad and all that. They are believing the revisionist history that's being out out now. Long before any European people came to America these tribes were enslaving each other and wiping out each other for many years let alone the people they found when they traveled here from elsewhere there were no native American people. Those that were here migrated here.
@@jdearing46 before them were ancient Caucasians,some European
very interesting
The narration seems oddly spliced in??
looks like Crooks had some compassion and empathy
When I was a teen in school, I had a pen pal, a Mescalero (sp) Apache girl my age for several months. Her name was Gloria Magosch (sp). I often wonder what ever happened to her in all these years later.
mescaleroapachetribe.com/ If can't Google her or get clues as we can find Americans not on reservation, then why not try contacting tribe?
Did you make contact to the tribal chiefs?
Crook was from Ohio, about a hour from here in Cincinnati.
now do one on Doctrine of Discovery.
Why are they showing a picture of Chato as Cochise?? Misidentified.
The photo of the Apache was not Cochise!!
At no point does he mention that there was any return fire. Sooo... it's really a civilian massacre then? What is really sad is the continuing justification put forward for the genocide.
yes there was return fire...they killed a few scouts and calvary...and were also given 3 separate times to surrender...answer was no...
read the Bourke book...
@@curtismes Yeah except, there's nothing immoral about self defense.
@@AverageAmerican no there isnt...although this band had killed a kid down near Tucson and they were tracked all the way from there...the lead scout for the Army was raised in the cave, he led them to it...I dont deny the Indian wars were bloody unfair and downright dirty...on both sides...much like the tribal warfare for 2000 yrs before white man showed up...I admire Bourke and Crook...always have...it was after this that Crook ordered military Doctors to accompany patrols as this action had over 20 wounded enemy ....Crook spent his life advocating for the fair treatment of Indians whom quit raiding and killing whites...and advocated killing or capturing the ones who didnt...all history is bloody.
I miss Charlie.
Thanks
MY Mothers Aunt Evelyn Norris use to take care of and make sure the Indians had what they needed out there when she was young,, her last n as me was Norris. Her Uncle evelyns see husbands name was Ernest Norris in Tuscon back then
Just wondered if you knew them??
There's good reason why the women wouldn't surrender. While those particular men might have been honorable, the cavalry overall had a bad reputation for raping female captives. Children, too, were often slain, and the worse sort of officers told those soldiers hesitant to do so, "Nits make lice." Sometimes the children would also be raped first. How were those women to know that this time would be different?
lies
@@Quantrills.RaidersI know you want to believe this, but it's well-documented by the diaries of the soldiers themselves. I'm not saying that all of the soldiers were like that, but enough were that it was a real cause for concern.
@@DoloresJNurss do you have a source? Of all the research ive done on the indian wars ive never seen evidence of this. Im sure it happened in isolated incidents but not enough to be a norm
Forget to mention the Apache who escaped the cave. How when he felt he was out of rifle range he stopped to shack his ass at the troopers and got his butt blown off. As I recall it over 600yds. Did it happen?
Name like that he's got to know what he's talking about
I was raised in White River before I was taken to be Americanized I remember once trucks came in with food and grandma said take the badge so they know to give you food so I stood near where they were giving boxes of food and the white guys were laughing and throwing boxes at me saying here you go catch this but I was very small and the boxes hurt when I tried to catch them.
Thank you, for sharing your difficult experience. I noticed the indigenous people of North America were targeted by world rulers, just like other indigenous people in South America, Australia, Asia, and Africa. I believe it was feared what ancient knowledge was retained. And it is not well-known, but according to the Bible, Adam seeds are in subjection to serpent seeds who are the royal bloodlines. I'm wondering if you remember any mention by your family or others of your Tribe, about the Reptile People? Also, I'm curious if you were indoctrinated into the global theory model? Or if you always knew the Earth is flat?
Leave it to Goverment
Did you know my mothers Aunt?? Her name was Norris her last name, I can member her first name right off darn it she come to our house when I was little, my grampa,s sister she moved out there when she's young , before i's born. But she married Bill Inabinett after her husband died, she took care of the Indians at the reservation in or around there (Tuscon) just wondering cayse haven't heard anything from any of em since my Ma died would of liked to hear from one of em
Purely Murder is right those women and children died and the smile on his face got richer as you know he still happy that to this day
Viva
all my indigenous brothers and sisters..
R I P to my Fallen brothers and sisters
Another great history lesson of American Genocide and Greed
You cannot separate the deaths of the Nanni Chadi band from the quest to dam the Salt River. The farmers in the valley below wanted irrigation for their fields and were anxiously organizing to make this happen. The band lived in the mountains where the dam needed to be built and their very existence prevented Congress from approving the funds to do so. Colyers Peace Plan would permanently end their dream of a dam and after it was announced the valley farmers reformed around an effort to defeat the Peace Plan. A secret team of men masquerading as Yavapai would become "raiders" and attack traveling parties of whites in order to inflame the support for an all out war being planned by Crook. This provided the public and Washington support for Crook to murder as many Indians a s possible, but the band occupying the Salt River Canyon was most important to farmers. Those Indians ALL had to die, for their rights to the land were hereditary and any survivors would threaten their plans for the dam. Crook had been recruited to do this and had no qualms about it. The deaths of the Nanni Chadi band were prerequisite for the construction of the dam which was built forty years later, completed in 1912. The Roosevelt Dam straddles the Salt Rivers exit from the large basin, and upon its completion was the largest brick dam in the world
An interesting postscript to the massacre was that Captin Burns saved one child from the Skull Cave encampment, who he adopted and raised in Boston. That child became a world famous herbalist and destroyed the myth that the "wild Indians" were incapable of being educated or living as civilized men. He was living testimony to the crimes of Crook and that farmers conspiracy, now known as the Salt River Project.
Not only a crime to stick the scouts with the rest but the rest of the natives must have been pissed at them big time
