Hey i've seen quite a few comments about audio issues on this video. Really sorry about that. Please comment here on what specifically is happening and we'll see if we can fix it. we'll make sure it doesn't happen on the next one. Thanks for your feedback!
Lmfao I just commented about this, I’ve never done this in my life bro and I’m sorry for the words I’m bouta use but I’m really just trying to support and help and I live your channel, I rarely comment at all on videos so let that mean something . But I’ll just copy and paste what I just said…I’m not gunna lie Johnny… I had to stop the video mid way to type this because it was just too bad…. Fire your sound editor dude, the audio was horrible, please fix it, voice audio needs to clap higher and there is wayyyy too many so loud heavy base drops that keep zooming every 2-5 seconds bruh I can not listen to this BS…..
Hey trying to add some details. For example at about 14:54 the level goes down and then after „late 1800s“ (14:56) it goes significantly up again. At least an issue I face when watching it in the RUclips App on my WebOS TV (LG). This happens ~once every 50 seconds throughout the video and is somewhat irritating. Hope that helps, happy to provide more info if needed.
Can you make a video on how the US gov destroyed Osho's commune and arrested him without any warrant and prevented him from entering the US and even visiting ally countries? Note: We've seen docs like Wild Wild Country, please don't focus on his secretary Sheela and things that gone wrong, many sources done this already. I'm referring to his experiment as he created different type of society where everybody was joyful and he dropped the use of "money" in the city he created. There were no crimes in that 5k population. Another note: It's not a utopia, please do a thorough research watch as many videos as possible of him and his new experiment of expanding consciousness that caused huge concerns for many governments of the world. Really interesting and it requires thorough researching, it's bigger that what you see in Wild Wild Country and other documentaries.
I’ve grown up around Oklahoma City, and I remember a teach from my middle school who was native, and he refused to carry $20 bills as a personal protest against Andrew Jackson, the government, and all their wrongdoings towards natives. I’ve always admired that spirit of solidarity with his community and ancestors.
@@josephleonard6695 Why do you always trying to excuse yourselves by picking on men like Jackson? You are only using them as scapegoats, but the fact of the matter is that ALL your founding fathers and ancestors were cruel racist Anglo-Saxon colonialists who built your sick and satanic fake country on the blood of African slaves, while committing genocide against the native Americans stealing all their lands! Soon the USA will pay for her war crimes against our native brothers🤺☦🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Born and raised in OKC. When I was in elementary, the school system seemed to celebrate the history of the land run and would take the kids out on the playground during "Land Run Day" so they could claim a place to sit outside and have their lunch. Growing up you mostly just heard positive stuff regarding the land run like how the college football team is named after the people participating in it. Until watching this video I hadn't realized there were four distinct runs. Until a few years ago I wasn't even aware of the Tulsa riots. Thanks for the history lesson and teaching me something my public schooling should have long ago.
Born and raised in Oklahoma and I have the same exact backstory. I’ve also never heard of any I’d the Sequoyah stuff. Definitely wild to hear more details.
Oh man you got to whitness a young James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook in their prime when they played for the thunder. That alone justifies Oklahoma being what it is today.
@@Rudflat not only that, we used to get to play a high school basketball game in the arena and then watch them play! As Andy said- I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.
These videos are excellent. I’m a historian and even though this are general overviews of historical events, they are extremely accurate. Thanks for making these, they are easy and simple to understand for everyone, and they don’t sacrifice historical accuracy. Brilliant.

My great grandma is the oldest living choctaw woman, she celebrated her 102nd birthday earlier this year. She is incredibly sharp still, and has knowledge if there are questions you might have for someone who lived through much of this.
@@Alaryk111 sorta im choctaw and we have a tribal goverment with our own court system like we have a congress sorta in having tribal council for our 13 counties if i remember it correctly we have our own police force and healthcare system that is free for tribal members, .politically the choctaw nation is conservative and ironically very Christian considering how our ancestors were converting basically forced to via forced boarding schools. there is a group of choctaws who stayed and i think they have their own tribal government but from what i understand there was a lot of bad blood between our two groups for a long time bc they chose to stay like it took till 1990s for them to be recognized as choctaws by the choctaw nation of ok, like we even have elections for our tribal councilors and our chief but the last few elections for chief our current chief ran unopposed.
Videos like these do more to repair and bring awareness to native peoples existence than anything the government is doing. Public apologies and monetary payments mean nothing when a video like this can bring in depth knowledge to the masses. Most people wake up and accept the life and society they are born into without realizing how or why they have it. Thank you, Johnny. From a Cree man from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦
I disagree. These types of videos are a blatant attempt to fill a narrative of disdain and affectations towards the progress of current society. Just in the title itself…America “Stole” the land? No they didn’t. They conquered it…and made it their own. EXACTLY what is done ALL OVER THE WORLD. How do you think countries are made? You conquer the land and kick out its current inhabitants. Literally…EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has the same history. In fact…America is one of the only places where they actually let the current inhabitants remain to some degree. Every other country that takes land…they wipe out the current inhabitants…completely. No bills or laws for them. No reservations. No concern for future. Tell me…how did Tonkawa and Caddo get their land? I’ll tell you. THEY “STOLE” IT! They kick out the current inhabitants and TOOK the land as their own! EVERY NATIVE TRIBE DID THE SAME EXACT THING!!!!! The difference is: America let some live. These videos are HORRIBLY lopsided and only feed a rhetoric of virtue signaling and blind disdain.
Please read a history book instead of listening to this propagandist. The slave-owning "Indian Territory" supported the Confederate south, and lost their land due to losing the civil war, which ended before Settlers came to "Indian Territory" and well before the land rush. Did you know that the confederacy lost in Oklahoma, then called Choctaw :and in Indian Territory? Nobody reads books they just listen to youtube people.
I’m from Enid, Oklahoma and we learned most of this growing up…we also learned it wasn’t okay and our teachers never excused it. Another interesting video idea would be how The Mormons took Utah from the First Americans. PS your video about why you left them helped me a lot when I left.
@@savageantelope3306 yeah most people I know around here are kind to native Americans. The odd part is I have seen racists be kind to native Americans, I think it’s because it’s required education so we all grow up actually understanding lol
@@jacobs492 I've met some natives from Oklahoma who are so self hating, it's sad. One in particular didn't even want people to know they were native, they seemed almost ashamed. This one in particular was from the Cherokee tribe, but it seems like a thing for natives there. I always wondered if this was due to bigotry in Oklahoma
@@skinnylong2023 honestly not sure, I’ve seen it too. I know there is plenty of bigotry here from older people… a lot of white farm folk did not go to school and didn’t know anything but Christianity and white culture
If you're American and a non-native like me, remember at the very least that this land is some of the most beautiful parts of the natural world and that it is sacred. Not everywhere in the world has beautiful mountains, trees, lakes, rivers and animals etc. like we have here and that we even get to experience it is a privilege in itself. Respect your Native American brothers and sisters and consider helping out charities and reservations in need if you can.
You sound arrogant, might be mistaken but the way you laid out your comment gives me such vibes. I'm non-native so I can't say much but what I can say is that your idea of "needs" is completely different from what a native would describe as a need. Your message has good intent but be more mindful of how you word things.
I don’t see any arrogance in his comments. Native Americans are treated as a second class citizens without good support from federal governments. They are secluded in a piece of land, looked down by the most of population. They can not even state a comment without being criticized.
A land can’t be assigned value based on sheer beauty of it.. just like a land can’t be assigned value based on commodity alone. A land is not only what it can give us, but also about what we give back. The several pre-colonial populaces knew this intrinsically, and now you do too.
Those last lines about how every single unique tribe and culture was (and still are) lumped into one category under "Native American" were super powerful. Got me thinking about what I can do to try and help preserve all of those independent histories. Great video.
It really puts it into perspective when you consider the sheer size of North America over Europe, considering the many different European cultures and their differences yet somehow all the indigenous peoples of Canada, US and Mexico were somehow lumped together by colonialists.
We have a similar story here in New Zealand with the local Maori and the English settlers back in the 1800. They also signed treaties over land and rights but still broke out into a fight between the English army and many Maori tribes called the land wars. I think it would be quite a interesting topic for you to cover on this channel as not many people talk about it these days.
May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are all evil things done by evildoers. 😔
@@misterlianghui based on the history, the military power determines the “Justice “, also, i think, the native Americans were too kind .one of the European generals wrote that the natives are so easy to handle, 50 Europeans can take over 500 k natives.
The amount of unsurprising backstabbing that I still didn’t know about and how they had a whole plan for a state and a constitution written up is insane. Thank you Johnny for always uncovering new hidden history
@@daltonmiller5590 it's 100 percent hidden history, the amount of disinformation that white americans push on this subject is disgusting. It wasn't slavery or land theivery, it was literally a plan to kill off an entire group of people. The majority of americans still do not accept this basic fact.
Yes, and so did the Confederacy. Congress didn't want them to separate either and with blocking that, as well as the earlier attempt to prevent the "state of Franklin" being carved out from Tennessee, Congress had a precedent. Possibly exception with WV, but that stayed loyal.
I'm Alaskan native but moved to Oklahoma in the first grade, I made friends with Euchee Indians and attended their ceremonial dances, definitely grew up "celebrating" the 89er land run in school but didn't realize the true history until later. Thank you for the video!
Alaska and the natives belong to Russia, not to the racist USA. We will re-claim it and take it back from the vile Anglo-Saxon satans!🤺☦🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

The Natives in Oklahoma are Alaskan too. U guys were removed from Alaska when America colonized it then purchased it. The Natives there now are NOT the 5 Civilized Tribes... that's black people. The Natives from the North peacefully resettled, the 5 Tribes fought and got jerked! Blacks are the 5.
As I sit here studying my Mvskoke language to make sure our heritage is passed down to my posterity, I am wrought with emotions by the fact that you are sharing this story. The process of going through those old documents is filled with trauma and emotions. We all have had to do it at some point or another and the feeling is heavy. Thank you for putting in the emotional labor that is needed to tell stories like these. Mvto!
Yep, European Imperialism & colonization have left deep & aching scars amongst every nation & amongst every culture! China's somewhat bizarre aggression to the West if your just to go by the propaganda, makes a lot more sense when you know the full history! Tis quiet sad, humanity could have been something truly wonderful, but that clock only gets closer to midnight with each day that passes by, just gotta hope their's some sense to all this madness!
As a Cherokee Nation citizen living within Cherokee Territory (where it dips into Tulsa, Oklahoma), I've always been confused by how the land runs were and still are taught in public schools. As a kid, I remember the Trail of Tears was largely glazed over-which felt odd because some of my ancestors were forcibly relocated on that path and some maybe even died along the way. I walked a bit of it myself on a hike it and it felt quite eerie. Meanwhile, the University of Oklahoma's fight song is still "Boomer Sooner" - the Boomers being those non-natives who lobbied for the state to be opened for a land boom and the Sooners were those who illegally snuck in and claimed lands before the land runs would even begin. If my son, a card-carrying Cherokee Nation citizen, ever decides to attend OU, I would feel conflicted about him chanting such a tone-deaf anthem after their football team scores another touchdown.

As someone who have a bachelor in (American studies), those white people would do it again to you, if they have to start everything allover, without any regrets. they are still doing the same to us Palestinian, they keep grabbing lands, and when we, Palestinian defend ourselves they call us terrorists, they call us international anti semitic, although we are ourselves semitic. Two days ago, some European settlers extremists roamed a Palestinian village and with the help of their army, they blocked a water well belong to a Palestinian man in his own land with cement. Literally white European people are the nastiest people you ever encounter with.
My mother was of Cherokee decent. Born in Wellston, (I will not say Oklahoma) she was adopted out to a white family who raised her as white. There was no paperwork to prove her linage, no corroboration, no history. My grandmother on my dad's side has a similar history, coming from the Choctaw, again no paper trail. in short, to give your story a "Thumbs Up" is such an understatement, that I do it thru tears.
And then they say : ' america fight for human rights ' anerica is a stolen country who killed millions from arabs to indians to muslims to indigenous tribes, a country who stole land and resources from others , i hate america and every single us president
I grew up right outside Tahlequah and my Cherokee heritage is celebrated on my dads' side. As an adult, I always wondered why I didn't grow up with more of the culture. I feel like a big part of my personal journey was the realization that it's because most of it is gone. There's less than half a million people on the largest native american roaster in existence. That's less than amount of people in the city next to the Cherokee's capital and they're scattered everywhere.
I live in Kansas oklahoma. I'm a white boy and I grew up with alot of Cherokee traditions. Chewy always had stomp dances and Kenwood always has hog frys, not saying that is the only traditions I participated in and still do to this day. But I would suggest going to some and talking to the old timers. There is not very many Indians left because of whites marrying Indians and watering down the blood line. I have a bunch of friends that are pretty close to full blood but most of them got with white women and now that blood line is cut in half.
@@tylerb4235 I've always said that sadly the only way forward for native americans is full sovereignty in their own country, or full autonomy more closed off from the outside. Otherwise the few survivors of the genocides will forever marry into the broader world and lose whatever they have left as they are exploited. That's how it was all set up... I don't know if it can even happen, but it's sad to see them disappear
@@tylerb4235 The Cherokee don't use blood percentage as a gauge of tribal membership. I'm Cherokee, as is my father and grandfather on the male side. My mother and both of my grandmothers on the female side. I'm on the dawes roll. Never in all of my experiences within the Cherokee nation have i heard that percentage of blood mattered. Either one/both of your parents were Cherokee, and are tribal members or they are not.
@davidmiller9485 every recognized Cherokee is on the dawes roll, that means nothing. You must not know how this works. The dawes roll was set up by........ yep you guessed it the united states government. Many white settlers lied on the dawes paperwork to get free land.
Born and raised in Marlow, Oklahoma but now I live in a suburb of OKC called Edmond. Excellent video. The first Americans museum reintroduced me to the history of our state and solidified just how horrifying everything has been and continues to be for native peoples. If you’re ever in OKC and found this content interesting in any way, make a point to go. It is both uplifting and haunting all at the same time.
This made me very emotional.. especially seeing the old photographs with the babies & children.. and the beautiful constitution they wrote and how it wasn’t even “worth” looking at in Washington! So hard to believe people have been and are treated this way.. I’ve been up to OK several times to visit when I lived in Texas and I always sensed a vibe of sadness there. I never knew why it always felt so heavy.. but I think I understand now. ): Thank you so much for this insightful and thorough video. I just discovered your channel and I find your content to be amazing.
Please read a history book instead of listening to this propagandist. The slave-owning "Indian Territory" supported the Confederate south, and lost their land due to losing the civil war, which ended before Settlers came to "Indian Territory" and well before the land rush.
Hey can you tell me litlte bit more about 'where you sensed a vibe of sadness" in OK? I've been there fore the past couple years but didn't sense it that much. Its probably I stayed in city areas. ? idk
The history of how the US came to be is so traumatic for many. I know it's not the only place that came to be in such a a way, but the way the US sells itself you would think it was all roses
For all of human history VIOLENCE is how one people took from another people...until White Christians changed the thinking on this, including with slavery. NOW it is only White Christians SHAMED for this. Tribes in N.A. constantly killed and took from one another. Not White America's fault if they were still living in the STONE AGE when we found them. If not us someone wouldve taken it eventually.🙄ENOUGH OF THE BULLSHIT - Not Sorry Squanto...ya shouldve looked into science and engineering to defend yorselves instead of taking iuasca and acting like savages
I remember learning about "the greatness of manifest destiny and Americans' bravery in settling the unknown West" and the concept that there were people already there that we kicked out wasn't ever really part of the discussion. This was in elementary school, in high school we got more of the details, but it still wasn't really explicit that we kept breaking our promises over and over. It still feels weird that we were taught to be proud of first violently then politically stealing people's land and breaking treaties just because we wanted what they had. We throw so much shade at Europe for imperialism and how they treated people but we tend to conveniently gloss over all of the stuff we did, or if we talk about it the slant is heavily in favor of the idea that Americans were just really ambitious and out-competed everyone else, which conveniently fits perfectly into the obsession with capitalism.
Fighting over land is human nature, every ethnicity and race is where they are due to conflicts and pushing out rival groups. Modern technology just meant the process was sped up and was actually documented.
Don't call these people American. They were as European as they come. Due to the nationalism in Europe, the first colonizers - the white protestant from the UK and Northern Europe - started expanding the dimension of the only common denominator they had with other Europeans - whiteness. Thus they started expanding the definition of what white. First it was other protestants from Europe, then it was catholics from Germanic countries, then Catholics from the British isles, the catholics of the remaining parts of Europe, except Spain. Eventually, the Greeks were integrated into that group too. Due to the cold War, that process stopped for the better part of the 20th century, but after 1989 it came back into full force - we are currently integrating former Warsaw pact nations into our concept of whiteness. The last ethnicity are the Ukrainians.
@@BobBob-us5fm This is not true, there were many cultures and groups who chose to coexist even after winning. For example the ancient greeks and even to a certain degree the spanish in Mexico which is why there are still so many natives in Mexico. They were forced to adopt the language and religion but that's much different than the genocide white americans practiced on Native Americans. White americans genocide of Native Americans inspired the Germans genocide of the jewish people of europe.
I moved to OK years ago. But I didn't understand the true history of the state. Looking at your migration map, I had no idea that so many of the names I thought were street or town names represented actual native tribes. Too bad many states are trying to suppress history education by falsely calling it critical race theory. Keep up your good work so all is not lost.
I’ve been watching this channel since the beginning and I even followed Johnny in his previous work prior to this channel. The stories and style of information sharing is amazing and entertaining as well. I’m an Oklahoma local born in OKC and have been living in Tulsa, OK for a while now. Long story short it’s a small, relatively unknown state and it nice you gave us recognition. In addition it’s very interesting to learn about my home state in a new light. Thanks!! And I look forward to what you come out with next.
My grandmother is full Cherokee and shes the last person with full Cherokee blood in my family that is still alive/we have contact with and when she goes whats left of that history is gone. Thank you, alot of people really just dont understand.
My great great grandfather was a "Sooner". He claimed land just east of Norman, Oklahoma. The land is now part of Lake Thunderbird. This video helped me learn more about that time that I never learned in school. Thank you for the information.
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years and they’ve always been great… However this year, I don’t know how but you have upped the levels tremendously. You post I click
I can't verbalize my gratitude i have while watching your videos, the information of history, in friendly yet brutally honest narration, with pictures to clearly explain the message given. I hope you get zillions of subs, likes & watches, you're the best. ❤
I am 1/16 Comanche, Okie born and raised. I just had this conversation with my kids. The settlers are celebrated in our history. We reinacted the land run in school every year. It was fun, but not something to be proud of. I appreciate you covering this. I am excited for my kiddos to watch this.
I'm from the other side of the world. I'm a Nga Puhi Maori man from, Aotearoa New Zealand. This story is also our story. One that is shared by so many indigenous cultures around the world that are occupied by another nation. Unfortunately the dominant culture overrides everything else. I shed tears watching this, but this is a digestible way for non- indigenous people to grasp what they are looking at. The pain, anger, frustration and the resulting helplessness of the situation... It fills me with 🤬 but I respect and appreciate the work you do. I wish I was in a position I could support your story telling more, but for now a thumbs up and I subscribed to your channel Mauri O Ra 🤘🤓
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Johnny is truly a gift. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION!

Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
The West would commit and practice a great many cardinal sins, many of them knowingly, such as centuries-long global; - 'Colonization', - 'Genocide', - 'Slavery', - 'Colonialism', - 'Global Warming', etc which benefits them enormously for centuries worldwide; then they would initiate and take a measure to ban those practices worldwide, and take credit for it. [Note: Today's global warming is caused in large part by nearly two centuries of excessive coal burning, mainly in the West.] Christian European Colonization of, - North America & South America, - Siberia & Far-East Asia, - Australia & New Zealand in Asia-Pacific. 😔 Europe for Native Europeans, Africa for Native Africans, America for Native Americans, Asia-Pacific for Native Asians-Pacific islanders.
My jaw dropped as learned Native American population in their motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! It is a shockingly sad truth. 😔
@@Aria-cd6dq It was estimated to be 20 million in all of the America's in 1500, Europe had 78 million at that time. There are over 200 million people that are at least 50% Amerindian today, and three countries (Guatemala, Peru, and Bolivia) are majority Amerindian.
This was so beautifully put together and told. I’m a native Oklahoman and this made me feel so emotional. I’ve grown up in the very far south of the unassigned lands, but I only have to travel one mile west to the next town & county to utilize what few benefits that the Chickasaws have set aside for natives. I am proud of my state and our heritage. It’s devastating and horrible, but also beautiful and a part of our Oklahoma and American history. I’m also very proud that the SCOTUS finally got it right in 2020. It changed quite a few things for us.
Johnny, one thing that you touched on... @5:03 "No Man's Land", this "Panhandle" was initially termed the Neutral Strip, with a very interesting geo-political origin. It was created as a buffer area between territories to allow the railroad to pass to the West, but has an interesting micro history influenced by all of these elements showcased in this video. It may make for an interesting short story vid. Additionally, with the DiCaprio movie, "Killers of the Flower Moon", there may be some interesting deep dives or side stories related to this that may be very interesting. Thank you for all your work in this area. But alas, we are all left feeling like there is nothing we can do to remedy these histories.
@elfrjz Forced? Chinese people emigrated for economic reasons and the vast majority went home when they were finished building the rails. This was due in part to the chinese exclusion act as well. They were not slaves; They were poor workers just as my people, the irish, were treated bad when first introduced to the american public at large.
Hello relatives! As a Native American I can appreciate this amazing effort to bring up light to the atrocities the United States Government committed against us the Indigenous and protectors of this land 🌎 that we have inhabited since time memorial. I think we have arrived at a place where we need to reconfigure the way we treat each other; we are a big family, humanity has to understand that we are here and we should protect the land that provides to ALL of us Human, animal and plant like. In our tradition we are part of the circle of life, we have forgotten what human really is, the western culture has promoted the seeking of success, like power and control over everything including nature, that leaves a path of destruction and death. We have to go back to our roots, all of humanity comes from a tribe of people, our ancestors are hoping for better where we can see past the lies, division and hatred that keep us enslaved to a self-destructive path, we need to go back to the red road, the path of unity, love and community. Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin
This is the sort of stuff that I really appreciate watching from you Johnny. The history that they don't teach you in public schools. Such a grave injustice done to so many people. I hope that in telling this story more people come to realize this.
How old are you that you don't know that people have been and are fighting for power and money? It's just that americans and europeans were better, stronger and wiser that they could defeat such a huge amount of peoples; nothing special about it
@@clean280 this has nothing to do with age and what I know. I was just stating a fact this wasn't something they taught in schools to any degree when I was younger. And how I appreciate the videos that Johnny posts which just emphasizes what I'm still learning over my lifetime.
Im a Filipina, not related to natives but I cried with this tragic history😢 Im glad that fortunately we achieved Independence from US in the past and I can emphatize with the natives.
I've been so curious about this topic since forever. Finally one of my favorite RUclipsrs made content about it! I was always wondering how Oklahoma became a state when it was designed to be an Indian reservation basically.
I am a native american from Oklahoma, (kiowa) im vary inpressed with all the research you did and so glad that someone like you that I've watched for a long time shed some light on my people and the miss conduct of the Americas
Mind blown! I've always known that there are lots of "Indian" reservations in Oklahoma, but now I know the rest of the story. A Shameful history lesson indeed. However, the truth can be a remedy if not a cure. Another really great video Johnny Harris.
thank you for telling me this story, it is a subject that so often gets overlooked by people who pretend to be social advocates, but talking about the plight of the native Americans isn’t trendy like other social issues
im a slave in my own homeland of my ancestors with nowhere else to go with no rights at all and broke for the past 40 years, we still fill it and we are alive still.
Thanks for sharing this. One of the best RUclips videos I've ever watched!! I've been in Oklahoma for three years and learned native Indian stories a little bit. But didn't get to chance to drive into the details... All of a sudden, I had to chance to talk about life in Oklahoma with my buddies such as the origin of "boomer and sooner" After that talk,, I started searching kinda true stories about them especially in Oklahoma and it brought me to here. wow! thanks again!
Every time i see Johnny Harris dive in to our history darkens more and more how cruel and dark the U.S. government and it system has always been. Reminding me every time of the famous quote of Ronald Regan "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." this frightens me to my very core.
🤦♂️Will you stop your bs American talking points. If you are against your own government then move to another country or at least don't call yourselves American patriots - you can't have it both ways lol. Just admit that you hate the USA like us, and it's filthy flag and everything it represents - Satan
Thank for for bringing awareness! Born & raised in Oklahoma & I didn’t know all of the history you mentioned. It was good to learn more about my state, although a very sad story. Not sure how we can help but if you find activist please share!
I would love to see a series on the conflicts in both the Irish republic & Northern Ireland, we’ve just been over there and there is just so many confusing but fascinating timelines and moments of insane conflict that I think you could cover in the most respectful way.
I just drove through eastern OK on I-40 and saw a billboard that said "Welcome to Sequoyah" As someone who lives close to New Echota, GA the Cherokee Nation Capitol, it was unique to see all the names I grew up seeing in Georgia in Sequoyah. Its a beautiful landscape and the people very welcoming.
it's awful at how emotionless and uncaring the us government was and seems to still be about what happened. Making treaties and then simply ignoring them because they aren't convenient.
I don’t know how I missed the second part of this, but thank you for covering this story, Johnny. Sequoyah is my ancestor, and I didn’t know about the Sequoyah constitution, or that Oklahoma had stolen it and used it for their own benefit. I’m going to look it up and read it.
Johnny, love the channel and especially this topic. There definitely should be more awareness about the Native Americans and what the real history is. One of the best songs by Dave Matthews is "Don't Drink the Water". When you see the acoustic version with Tim Reynolds and he gives the story behind how he came up with the idea for the song, you walk away with an even deeper appreciation for the song, and how the Native Americans were impacted by all of this! IDEA - it would be awesome to honor them if you were able to speak with them to get their history and how this all affected them!✌️
I live right outside of pawhuska and saw them filming right outside my neighbors house on a old bridge they had his whole front yard fild with crew and people eating at lunch. tables.
This sounds a lot like your next episode "How Israel Stole Palestine". Same playbook, White settlers squeezing them into the Gaza Strip. Will you tell it?
I was always saddened by how badly the Spanish did in many countries in the Americas. But the systematic eradication that the native peoples went through in North America is totally disgusting.
if you look at Latin America the displacement is not really there. you will still find native folks everywhere living normally. This is not something you will find in US. they are bunched in small reservations. US is a country of segregation. This I believe comes from mentality of purity that white Europeans practiced.
@sumitshresth yeah, England always said that the Spanish empire annihilate the native of South America and part of nort America but that's not. I myself comes from a multiracial family where my grandfather was a indigenous mixed with African and my other grandfather had an eyes blue like a sky, he had an European ancestor. I'm an example of how the majority of Venezuelan looks like
@@AL-lh2ht The CIA's MKUltra program dosed many inner city ghettoes, prisons, military bases and Indian Reservations with LSD. Many groups in the USA were intentionally hobbled. Agent Orange was sprayed in reservation rivers from 1950 to 1978 that caused cancer, physical deformations and mental retardation in many Native communities.
I was stationed in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, a few years ago. That military installation is literally the definition of being built on a native burial ground. Lots of spooky shit happens there, but once I visited Geronimo's grave on memorial day- i was the only one out at the native gravesite that day paying my respects, once I got up to leave an Armadillo walked right up to me and chilled for a solid ten minutes. I'm sure it was nothing, but damn if the walls between worlds didn't feel awfully thin that day.
I’m a lawyer in OK, and I just want to comment that our State Constitution (based on the State of Sequoyah’s) is written much more broadly than the U.S. Constitution and includes various rights belonging to the people and individuals that we do not have at the federal level. Our State equivalent to the First Amendment, for example, goes beyond just the five protections identified in the U.S. Constitution!
What's wrong with the sound? I've noticed this on a few of your latest videos, the audio balance is terrible. Johnny's VO will phase from normal to almost silent. I've tested this through my PC surround sound, phone and TV, but it's the same and only on your videos.
I wasn’t expecting this to be quite such an upsetting watch. Thank you for covering this important piece of history that was entirely excluded from my British education.
Looking at maps of historic US, I always noticed OK being marked as “Indian Territory” and wondered “huh why isn’t OK an Indian state, then?” Thanks for covering this topic
I think a video on the Indian Child Welfare Act, given the recent SCOTUS decision, would be a logical next step in this journey. Definitely get in contact with Rebecca Nagle.
This fills my soul with so much emotion, mostly stunned rage that this happened at all. I am devastated that this horrible schooling system that we have NEVER touched any of this. This History of this Nation was purposefully shoved out of the way, and only now am I learning how it all happened.
The barbarous atrocities committed upon indigenous people is unthinkable. And in the face of all that, these people demonstrated such humanity, such courage, such enduring pride and respect not only for their own cultures and beliefs but those of others. Please make more of these videos, Johnny. Please continue telling this vital history because it is OUR history as human beings. I know it is a huge topic because you recognise that each tribe and each people deserve respect and acknowledgement of their own stories, but please continue going piece by piece.
The only reason that conquered civilizations are idolized is because we choose to forget about the moral failings of the defeated. This is often encouraged by the fact that we lack the material evidence to contradict out emotional conclusions. It happens with every conquered culture, the Spartans are remembered as valiant heroes: The Ottomans are remembered for their fair administration and their conquest of Constantinople. The Romans are remembered for their engineering, and their skill on the battlefield. The Celts were praised for their ferocity. But ultimately, all of these empires and their people committed terrible mass atrocities on multiple occasions over hundreds and thousands of years. The only reason that many of the native American tribes are so revered is because they lacked a robust system for archiving history and no one is left who remembers the atrocities that their ancestors committed. A person can be valiant, brave, kind, and noble. A government lacks that level of agency, it can only allocate resources. Pretending that one is the other is nothing but propaganda.
The USA is a racist pagan Protestant Anglo-Saxon fake country of war criminals and we will take this empire down sooner in our time!!🤺☦🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
@@eauneau I agree that self defense is not an atrocity. What is your point? Also, the devil needs no excuse for sin, he has already been cast down. You only need an excuse if you fear the consequences of your actions.
"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." - Native Americans 😔 Native Americans population in their motherland, Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while European population in their motherland, Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! A shockingly sad truth. 😔
I live in Oklahoma and it has always seemed to have a negative spirit permeation. I am convinced that it is literally cursed. God bless all those victims of the trail of tears and the Osage killings.
I'm Osage, and those killings touched every family, mine included. I wish he'd explained why Osage County/Reservation was shown as separate in the video.
@@catehaneynewman5954 read the book, Killers of the Flower Moon. Truly hurt my heart. How can such hate exist? Worst than that; how can such indifference about the history exist? Even in Oklahoma history you won't hear about it. Lord help us all...
@@catehaneynewman5954 I understand. We love our native American brothers and sisters in Oklahoma. It's not all devil's and demons in the world. Be blessed
Great production, story, and information as usual! However, there's too much bass and waaaay too many bass sweeps in this video. It's very uncharacteristic for audio that's usually really well produced on this channel.
The upcoming movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" (Oct 2023) is based on the true story of the Osage Native American tribe in Oklahoma and tells the story of how the greed for resources led to the murder of the Indigenous. Neat coincidence for Johnny to also tell this story
I grew up in Creek County in Oklahoma. I am navajo & apache from Arizona. I personally didn't know about a lot of the legalities & my parents never really shown or might not have known. In school, i learned about sequoia & the alphabet he created. I remember being taught about the land runs, they never mentioned how all the tribes were already in the indian territory, or where they came from. a lot of pick& choosing of what they wanted us to learn from "history". I am glad there are videos like this I can show my 8yr old son about how people like us are STILL here. thank you for this video and the time yall put in it. ahéhee
Not something similar, the very exact processes was used all over the world towards natives of their own land… sad to say, but it still continues to this day. So when someone says, go back to where you came from, it’s laughable because if we dig deep enough, we’ll find a land grabber within our own lineage..
The history of US imperislism and the europeans are about rape ,murder, and perpetual servitude of the native people everywhere till today to another form.
Having grown up in Oklahoma, this single video is more comprehensive and accurate than any of the revisionist Oklahoma history taught in the public school system.
This was an amazing video and I am so grateful for the insight. I would love to learn more about the real story of our nations history. Thank you and your team for all the work putting this out ❤
i just found ur channel 36 hours ago and im impressed by your work honestly! i watched about 12-13 videos of yours till now and the most informative one in my opinion was about nuclear power it was really informative and i learnt a lot of new things from that video at the end i just wanna say thank you and you earned a subscriber ☺ congrats!
you wanted more stories like this. Look at the Sami people in Norway (specially), Sweden and Finland. They were driven out and prevented from speaking their language or practice their culture until the end of 19th century, and today there is a revival where old Sami place names are reintroduced and language and government is being set up more and more to revive them.
Being from Oklahoma. This hits home. Everything about this video is real. Go to Oklahoma now, and it’s full of Indian casino taking back the white mans money.
That last point is so important. Hundreds of cultural aspects have been boiled down to "Native American" and dismissed away entirely. This country stands on mountains of bones.
Looks a lot like whats happening to the Palestinians, especially if you look at the maps since 1948. Actually exactly like what Israel is doing to Palestine with their settler occupation. My heart goes out to the native/first Americans.
For those of you curious about more info on the 2020 supreme court decision. It basically stemmed from a decision that Native American's who committed crimes on tribal lands couldn't be prosecuted in Oklahoma State courts.
more info: In 1997, Jimcy McGirt was convicted by the state of Oklahoma for raping and sexually assaulting a four-year old girl, and was sentenced to two consecutive 500-year sentences. The man at the center of a hallmark U.S. Supreme Court case in 2020 has been released from prison at age 75. Later in 2022... Victor Manuel Castro-Huerta, a non-Native, was convicted in Oklahoma state court of child neglect, and he was sentenced to 35 years. The victim, his stepdaughter, is Native American, and the crime was committed within the Cherokee Reservation. By a 5-4 vote, the Court held that “the Federal Government and the State have concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country.” Respondent Victor Castro-Huerta, a resident of Tulsa, was convicted by the State of Oklahoma of child neglect and sentenced to 35 years of imprisonment with the possibility of parole. After he was convicted, the Court decided McGirt v. Oklahoma, which held that Congress had never disestablished the Creek Reservation in eastern Oklahoma. The practical impact of McGirt is that eastern Oklahoma (including Tulsa) is now recognized as Indian country. Castro-Huerta argued that, as a non-Indian who allegedly committed a crime against an Indian in Indian country, the federal government had exclusive jurisdiction to prosecute him and that the state therefore lacked jurisdiction to do so. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals agreed. While Castro-Huerta’s state case was on appeal, a federal grand jury indicted him, and he accepted a plea agreement for a 7-year sentence followed by removal from the United States.
Absolutely loved the video; however, there was something wonky about the booming “music” or sounds you had playing in the background that somehow affected the actual volume, causing it to up and down. Keep them coming though… :)
It sucks a lot that when you peel away the veneer of civilization in all of humanity's history, it's all people being horrible against one another like it's a universal constant that can't be broken, ever. Also, the titling of this video is something else. The thieves stole even the name of the place, that Johnny had to cross out and write the real one, which has been all but thoroughly erased.
Hey i've seen quite a few comments about audio issues on this video. Really sorry about that. Please comment here on what specifically is happening and we'll see if we can fix it. we'll make sure it doesn't happen on the next one. Thanks for your feedback!
The levels are fine but every 20 seconds there's this ominous pitch-being-dropped sound effect
Lmfao I just commented about this, I’ve never done this in my life bro and I’m sorry for the words I’m bouta use but I’m really just trying to support and help and I live your channel, I rarely comment at all on videos so let that mean something . But I’ll just copy and paste what I just said…I’m not gunna lie Johnny… I had to stop the video mid way to type this because it was just too bad…. Fire your sound editor dude, the audio was horrible, please fix it, voice audio needs to clap higher and there is wayyyy too many so loud heavy base drops that keep zooming every 2-5 seconds bruh I can not listen to this BS…..
Seems to be some processing that RUclips is doing
Hey trying to add some details. For example at about 14:54 the level goes down and then after „late 1800s“ (14:56) it goes significantly up again. At least an issue I face when watching it in the RUclips App on my WebOS TV (LG). This happens ~once every 50 seconds throughout the video and is somewhat irritating.
Hope that helps, happy to provide more info if needed.
Can you make a video on how the US gov destroyed Osho's commune and arrested him without any warrant and prevented him from entering the US and even visiting ally countries?
Note: We've seen docs like Wild Wild Country, please don't focus on his secretary Sheela and things that gone wrong, many sources done this already. I'm referring to his experiment as he created different type of society where everybody was joyful and he dropped the use of "money" in the city he created. There were no crimes in that 5k population.
Another note: It's not a utopia, please do a thorough research watch as many videos as possible of him and his new experiment of expanding consciousness that caused huge concerns for many governments of the world.
Really interesting and it requires thorough researching, it's bigger that what you see in Wild Wild Country and other documentaries.
As a resident Oklahoman, with Native American heritage, thank you Johnny for covering this.
Do you have status?
Yes, I am of Choctaw heritage.

But it's not the "Europeans" who stole the land. It's Americans...
I’ve grown up around Oklahoma City, and I remember a teach from my middle school who was native, and he refused to carry $20 bills as a personal protest against Andrew Jackson, the government, and all their wrongdoings towards natives. I’ve always admired that spirit of solidarity with his community and ancestors.
Andrew Jackson! that guy was pure evil. i imagine him walking along the Trail of Tears for eternity in the underworld.
@@josephleonard6695he was one of the greatest bich
@@josephleonard6695 Why do you always trying to excuse yourselves by picking on men like Jackson? You are only using them as scapegoats, but the fact of the matter is that ALL your founding fathers and ancestors were cruel racist Anglo-Saxon colonialists who built your sick and satanic fake country on the blood of African slaves, while committing genocide against the native Americans stealing all their lands!

Andrew Jackson was hilarious he used to duel people and beat people with a cane. Good Ol' Hickory he was a mad man and I love it.

Born and raised in OKC. When I was in elementary, the school system seemed to celebrate the history of the land run and would take the kids out on the playground during "Land Run Day" so they could claim a place to sit outside and have their lunch. Growing up you mostly just heard positive stuff regarding the land run like how the college football team is named after the people participating in it. Until watching this video I hadn't realized there were four distinct runs. Until a few years ago I wasn't even aware of the Tulsa riots. Thanks for the history lesson and teaching me something my public schooling should have long ago.
Born and raised in Oklahoma and I have the same exact backstory. I’ve also never heard of any I’d the Sequoyah stuff. Definitely wild to hear more details.
Yep and a lot of the information in this video is simply disregarded in Oklahoma history they taught us. It's sad.
Oh man you got to whitness a young James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook in their prime when they played for the thunder. That alone justifies Oklahoma being what it is today.

@@Rudflat not only that, we used to get to play a high school basketball game in the arena and then watch them play! As Andy said- I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them.
These videos are excellent. I’m a historian and even though this are general overviews of historical events, they are extremely accurate. Thanks for making these, they are easy and simple to understand for everyone, and they don’t sacrifice historical accuracy. Brilliant.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

My great grandma is the oldest living choctaw woman, she celebrated her 102nd birthday earlier this year. She is incredibly sharp still, and has knowledge if there are questions you might have for someone who lived through much of this.
no she isn’t
So Iwonder are Choctaw or other induan nations somehow politically organized?
@@Alaryk111 sorta im choctaw and we have a tribal goverment with our own court system like we have a congress sorta in having tribal council for our 13 counties if i remember it correctly we have our own police force and healthcare system that is free for tribal members, .politically the choctaw nation is conservative and ironically very Christian considering how our ancestors were converting basically forced to via forced boarding schools. there is a group of choctaws who stayed and i think they have their own tribal government but from what i understand there was a lot of bad blood between our two groups for a long time bc they chose to stay like it took till 1990s for them to be recognized as choctaws by the choctaw nation of ok, like we even have elections for our tribal councilors and our chief but the last few elections for chief our current chief ran unopposed.

Videos like these do more to repair and bring awareness to native peoples existence than anything the government is doing. Public apologies and monetary payments mean nothing when a video like this can bring in depth knowledge to the masses.
Most people wake up and accept the life and society they are born into without realizing how or why they have it.
Thank you, Johnny. From a Cree man from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦
I disagree.
These types of videos are a blatant attempt to fill a narrative of disdain and affectations towards the progress of current society.
Just in the title itself…America “Stole” the land?
No they didn’t.
They conquered it…and made it their own.
EXACTLY what is done ALL OVER THE WORLD.
How do you think countries are made?
You conquer the land and kick out its current inhabitants.
Literally…EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has the same history.
In fact…America is one of the only places where they actually let the current inhabitants remain to some degree.
Every other country that takes land…they wipe out the current inhabitants…completely.
No bills or laws for them.
No reservations.
No concern for future.
Tell me…how did Tonkawa and Caddo get their land?
I’ll tell you. THEY “STOLE” IT!
They kick out the current inhabitants and TOOK the land as their own!
EVERY NATIVE TRIBE DID THE SAME EXACT THING!!!!!
The difference is:
America let some live.
These videos are HORRIBLY lopsided and only feed a rhetoric of virtue signaling and blind disdain.

Please read a history book instead of listening to this propagandist. The slave-owning "Indian Territory" supported the Confederate south, and lost their land due to losing the civil war, which ended before Settlers came to "Indian Territory" and well before the land rush.
Did you know that the confederacy lost in Oklahoma, then called Choctaw :and in Indian Territory? Nobody reads books they just listen to youtube people.
As a Fellow Saskatchewan ❤ I couldn't agree more with you !
So this is why the USA, UK, AND EUROPE are helping and backing Israelis to take the Palestinians' land
I’m from Enid, Oklahoma and we learned most of this growing up…we also learned it wasn’t okay and our teachers never excused it. Another interesting video idea would be how The Mormons took Utah from the First Americans. PS your video about why you left them helped me a lot when I left.
Cool that your teachers acknowledged it I was wondering how this would be represented in education
@@savageantelope3306 yeah most people I know around here are kind to native Americans. The odd part is I have seen racists be kind to native Americans, I think it’s because it’s required education so we all grow up actually understanding lol
@@jacobs492 I've met some natives from Oklahoma who are so self hating, it's sad. One in particular didn't even want people to know they were native, they seemed almost ashamed. This one in particular was from the Cherokee tribe, but it seems like a thing for natives there. I always wondered if this was due to bigotry in Oklahoma
@@skinnylong2023 honestly not sure, I’ve seen it too. I know there is plenty of bigotry here from older people… a lot of white farm folk did not go to school and didn’t know anything but Christianity and white culture
This please so much.
If you're American and a non-native like me, remember at the very least that this land is some of the most beautiful parts of the natural world and that it is sacred. Not everywhere in the world has beautiful mountains, trees, lakes, rivers and animals etc. like we have here and that we even get to experience it is a privilege in itself. Respect your Native American brothers and sisters and consider helping out charities and reservations in need if you can.
You sound arrogant, might be mistaken but the way you laid out your comment gives me such vibes. I'm non-native so I can't say much but what I can say is that your idea of "needs" is completely different from what a native would describe as a need. Your message has good intent but be more mindful of how you word things.
I don’t see any arrogance in his comments. Native Americans are treated as a second class citizens without good support from federal governments. They are secluded in a piece of land, looked down by the most of population. They can not even state a comment without being criticized.
A land can’t be assigned value based on sheer beauty of it.. just like a land can’t be assigned value based on commodity alone. A land is not only what it can give us, but also about what we give back. The several pre-colonial populaces knew this intrinsically, and now you do too.
So this is why the USA, UK, AND EUROPE are helping and backing Israelis to take the Palestinians' land
the natives dont have anything to do with the natural beauty of america lmao
Those last lines about how every single unique tribe and culture was (and still are) lumped into one category under "Native American" were super powerful. Got me thinking about what I can do to try and help preserve all of those independent histories. Great video.

Europeans somehow posses the ultimate sensitivity while also the ultimate insensitivity to others. They view every other ethnicity as caricatures.
They do the same to Black, Hispanic and White ppl too.
It really puts it into perspective when you consider the sheer size of North America over Europe, considering the many different European cultures and their differences yet somehow all the indigenous peoples of Canada, US and Mexico were somehow lumped together by colonialists.
@@hailey-lh2kdalso in the african it literally bigger than whole of Europe plus half of America but all of them were called "Africans" or "niggas"
We have a similar story here in New Zealand with the local Maori and the English settlers back in the 1800. They also signed treaties over land and rights but still broke out into a fight between the English army and many Maori tribes called the land wars.
I think it would be quite a interesting topic for you to cover on this channel as not many people talk about it these days.
The difference is in New Zealand people are consistently educated over this stuff. Most Americans aren’t taught jack shit
May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔
In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.

Yes, and so did the Confederacy. Congress didn't want them to separate either and with blocking that, as well as the earlier attempt to prevent the "state of Franklin" being carved out from Tennessee, Congress had a precedent. Possibly exception with WV, but that stayed loyal.
That part.

Please read a history book instead of listening to this propagandist. The slave-owning "Indian Territory" supported the Confederate south, and lost their land due to losing the civil war, which ended before Settlers came to "Indian Territory" and well before the land rush.
The Natives in Oklahoma are Alaskan too. U guys were removed from Alaska when America colonized it then purchased it. The Natives there now are NOT the 5 Civilized Tribes... that's black people. The Natives from the North peacefully resettled, the 5 Tribes fought and got jerked! Blacks are the 5.

As a Cherokee Nation citizen living within Cherokee Territory (where it dips into Tulsa, Oklahoma), I've always been confused by how the land runs were and still are taught in public schools. As a kid, I remember the Trail of Tears was largely glazed over-which felt odd because some of my ancestors were forcibly relocated on that path and some maybe even died along the way. I walked a bit of it myself on a hike it and it felt quite eerie. Meanwhile, the University of Oklahoma's fight song is still "Boomer Sooner" - the Boomers being those non-natives who lobbied for the state to be opened for a land boom and the Sooners were those who illegally snuck in and claimed lands before the land runs would even begin. If my son, a card-carrying Cherokee Nation citizen, ever decides to attend OU, I would feel conflicted about him chanting such a tone-deaf anthem after their football team scores another touchdown.

Awesome video! Great research!
My mother was of Cherokee decent. Born in Wellston, (I will not say Oklahoma) she was adopted out to a white family who raised her as white. There was no paperwork to prove her linage, no corroboration, no history. My grandmother on my dad's side has a similar history, coming from the Choctaw, again no paper trail. in short, to give your story a "Thumbs Up" is such an understatement, that I do it thru tears.
And then they say : ' america fight for human rights ' anerica is a stolen country who killed millions from arabs to indians to muslims to indigenous tribes, a country who stole land and resources from others , i hate america and every single us president
so your ancestors took slaves on the trail of tears then threw them out of the tribe
Probably stolen would be a more suitable term than adopted
@@rohand04 they should be the last one to talk
You said Oklahoma….
I grew up right outside Tahlequah and my Cherokee heritage is celebrated on my dads' side. As an adult, I always wondered why I didn't grow up with more of the culture. I feel like a big part of my personal journey was the realization that it's because most of it is gone. There's less than half a million people on the largest native american roaster in existence. That's less than amount of people in the city next to the Cherokee's capital and they're scattered everywhere.
I live in Kansas oklahoma. I'm a white boy and I grew up with alot of Cherokee traditions. Chewy always had stomp dances and Kenwood always has hog frys, not saying that is the only traditions I participated in and still do to this day. But I would suggest going to some and talking to the old timers. There is not very many Indians left because of whites marrying Indians and watering down the blood line. I have a bunch of friends that are pretty close to full blood but most of them got with white women and now that blood line is cut in half.
@@tylerb4235 I've always said that sadly the only way forward for native americans is full sovereignty in their own country, or full autonomy more closed off from the outside. Otherwise the few survivors of the genocides will forever marry into the broader world and lose whatever they have left as they are exploited. That's how it was all set up...
I don't know if it can even happen, but it's sad to see them disappear
@@tylerb4235 The Cherokee don't use blood percentage as a gauge of tribal membership. I'm Cherokee, as is my father and grandfather on the male side. My mother and both of my grandmothers on the female side. I'm on the dawes roll. Never in all of my experiences within the Cherokee nation have i heard that percentage of blood mattered. Either one/both of your parents were Cherokee, and are tribal members or they are not.
@@davidmiller9485 ok? What is your point?
@davidmiller9485 every recognized Cherokee is on the dawes roll, that means nothing. You must not know how this works. The dawes roll was set up by........ yep you guessed it the united states government. Many white settlers lied on the dawes paperwork to get free land.
Born and raised in Marlow, Oklahoma but now I live in a suburb of OKC called Edmond. Excellent video. The first Americans museum reintroduced me to the history of our state and solidified just how horrifying everything has been and continues to be for native peoples. If you’re ever in OKC and found this content interesting in any way, make a point to go. It is both uplifting and haunting all at the same time.
There are two things that I believe any visitor to OKC should experience: the OKC National Memorial and the First Americans Museum.
This made me very emotional.. especially seeing the old photographs with the babies & children.. and the beautiful constitution they wrote and how it wasn’t even “worth” looking at in Washington! So hard to believe people have been and are treated this way.. I’ve been up to OK several times to visit when I lived in Texas and I always sensed a vibe of sadness there. I never knew why it always felt so heavy.. but I think I understand now. ): Thank you so much for this insightful and thorough video. I just discovered your channel and I find your content to be amazing.

For all of human history VIOLENCE is how one people took from another people...until White Christians changed the thinking on this, including with slavery. NOW it is only White Christians SHAMED for this. Tribes in N.A. constantly killed and took from one another. Not White America's fault if they were still living in the STONE AGE when we found them.

I remember learning about "the greatness of manifest destiny and Americans' bravery in settling the unknown West" and the concept that there were people already there that we kicked out wasn't ever really part of the discussion. This was in elementary school, in high school we got more of the details, but it still wasn't really explicit that we kept breaking our promises over and over. It still feels weird that we were taught to be proud of first violently then politically stealing people's land and breaking treaties just because we wanted what they had.
We throw so much shade at Europe for imperialism and how they treated people but we tend to conveniently gloss over all of the stuff we did, or if we talk about it the slant is heavily in favor of the idea that Americans were just really ambitious and out-competed everyone else, which conveniently fits perfectly into the obsession with capitalism.
Fighting over land is human nature, every ethnicity and race is where they are due to conflicts and pushing out rival groups.
Modern technology just meant the process was sped up and was actually documented.
Did they teach you about American imperialism starting with the spanish-American war (its how we got puerto rico) and the panama canal?
Don't call these people American. They were as European as they come. Due to the nationalism in Europe, the first colonizers - the white protestant from the UK and Northern Europe - started expanding the dimension of the only common denominator they had with other Europeans - whiteness. Thus they started expanding the definition of what white. First it was other protestants from Europe, then it was catholics from Germanic countries, then Catholics from the British isles, the catholics of the remaining parts of Europe, except Spain. Eventually, the Greeks were integrated into that group too. Due to the cold War, that process stopped for the better part of the 20th century, but after 1989 it came back into full force - we are currently integrating former Warsaw pact nations into our concept of whiteness. The last ethnicity are the Ukrainians.
@@BobBob-us5fm Slavery and conquering land has been a part of human history with ALL peoples, not just the white man.
@@BobBob-us5fm This is not true, there were many cultures and groups who chose to coexist even after winning. For example the ancient greeks and even to a certain degree the spanish in Mexico which is why there are still so many natives in Mexico. They were forced to adopt the language and religion but that's much different than the genocide white americans practiced on Native Americans. White americans genocide of Native Americans inspired the Germans genocide of the jewish people of europe.
I moved to OK years ago. But I didn't understand the true history of the state. Looking at your migration map, I had no idea that so many of the names I thought were street or town names represented actual native tribes. Too bad many states are trying to suppress history education by falsely calling it critical race theory. Keep up your good work so all is not lost.

It was created as a buffer area between territories to allow the railroad to pass to the West, but has an interesting micro history influenced by all of these elements showcased in this video. It may make for an interesting short story vid. Additionally, with the DiCaprio movie, "Killers of the Flower Moon", there may be some interesting deep dives or side stories related to this that may be very interesting.

Hello relatives! As a Native American I can appreciate this amazing effort to bring up light to the atrocities the United States Government committed against us the Indigenous and protectors of this land 🌎 that we have inhabited since time memorial.

In our tradition we are part of the circle of life, we have forgotten what human really is, the western culture has promoted the seeking of success, like power and control over everything including nature, that leaves a path of destruction and death. We have to go back to our roots, all of humanity comes from a tribe of people, our ancestors are hoping for better where we can see past the lies, division and hatred that keep us enslaved to a self-destructive path, we need to go back to the red road, the path of unity, love and community.

im a slave in my own homeland of my ancestors with nowhere else to go with no rights at all and broke for the past 40 years, we still fill it and we are alive still.
you are weak
Thanks for sharing this. One of the best RUclips videos I've ever watched!! I've been in Oklahoma for three years and learned native Indian stories a little bit. But didn't get to chance to drive into the details... All of a sudden, I had to chance to talk about life in Oklahoma with my buddies such as the origin of "boomer and sooner" After that talk,, I started searching kinda true stories about them especially in Oklahoma and it brought me to here. wow! thanks again!
This is the first time that I hear about this story, and it is making me incredibly emotional. Thank you Johnny for telling their story!
Every time i see Johnny Harris dive in to our history darkens more and more how cruel and dark the U.S. government and it system has always been. Reminding me every time of the famous quote of Ronald Regan "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." this frightens me to my very core.
Ironic considering that Reagan only worsened US government crimes
🤦♂️Will you stop your bs American talking points. If you are against your own government then move to another country or at least don't call yourselves American patriots - you can't have it both ways lol. Just admit that you hate the USA like us, and it's filthy flag and everything it represents - Satan
Thank for for bringing awareness! Born & raised in Oklahoma & I didn’t know all of the history you mentioned. It was good to learn more about my state, although a very sad story. Not sure how we can help but if you find activist please share!
As an Indian,
I can feel the pain of natives.
God bless you all ❣
I would love to see a series on the conflicts in both the Irish republic & Northern Ireland, we’ve just been over there and there is just so many confusing but fascinating timelines and moments of insane conflict that I think you could cover in the most respectful way.
I just drove through eastern OK on I-40 and saw a billboard that said "Welcome to Sequoyah" As someone who lives close to New Echota, GA the Cherokee Nation Capitol, it was unique to see all the names I grew up seeing in Georgia in Sequoyah. Its a beautiful landscape and the people very welcoming.
it's awful at how emotionless and uncaring the us government was and seems to still be about what happened. Making treaties and then simply ignoring them because they aren't convenient.
A government for the people by the people.
I don’t know how I missed the second part of this, but thank you for covering this story, Johnny. Sequoyah is my ancestor, and I didn’t know about the Sequoyah constitution, or that Oklahoma had stolen it and used it for their own benefit. I’m going to look it up and read it.
Thank you for this. It needs to be broadcast to every state in the country.
Johnny, love the channel and especially this topic. There definitely should be more awareness about the Native Americans and what the real history is. One of the best songs by Dave Matthews is "Don't Drink the Water". When you see the acoustic version with Tim Reynolds and he gives the story behind how he came up with the idea for the song, you walk away with an even deeper appreciation for the song, and how the Native Americans were impacted by all of this! IDEA - it would be awesome to honor them if you were able to speak with them to get their history and how this all affected them!✌️
Such a sad story, heart breaking what happened to the native American culture and history.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
I have learned so much about our history.
It’s amazing how much they don’t teach you in school.
Could you do a video on the Osage murderers? It’s basically the history on what happened to this remaining Native territory in the north of Oklahoma.
There’s a movie coming out later this year about that called “Killers of the Flower Moon” they were filming in my small town of Raulston
I live right outside of pawhuska and saw them filming right outside my neighbors house on a old bridge they had his whole front yard fild with crew and people eating at lunch. tables.
@jameswildwood9164 you spelled Ralston wrong😅😅😅 Skeeters Roxs😅😅😅
Is it just me or is Johnny's background noise way louder than his voice? I could barely hear him because his background sounds are booming like crazy.
Subscribed! Thank you for dropping facts
This sounds a lot like your next episode "How Israel Stole Palestine". Same playbook, White settlers squeezing them into the Gaza Strip. Will you tell it?
I was always saddened by how badly the Spanish did in many countries in the Americas. But the systematic eradication that the native peoples went through in North America is totally disgusting.
if you look at Latin America the displacement is not really there. you will still find native folks everywhere living normally. This is not something you will find in US. they are bunched in small reservations. US is a country of segregation. This I believe comes from mentality of purity that white Europeans practiced.
@sumitshresth yeah, England always said that the Spanish empire annihilate the native of South America and part of nort America but that's not. I myself comes from a multiracial family where my grandfather was a indigenous mixed with African and my other grandfather had an eyes blue like a sky, he had an European ancestor.
I'm an example of how the majority of Venezuelan looks like
@@sumitshresthit’s the native choice to stay in their reservations. Calling the US racist for their own decision is disingenuous.
@@kennymedinaspine became multi racial. Their is no such thing as “pure bred” natives their anymore.
@@AL-lh2ht The CIA's MKUltra program dosed many inner city ghettoes, prisons, military bases and Indian Reservations with LSD. Many groups in the USA were intentionally hobbled. Agent Orange was sprayed in reservation rivers from 1950 to 1978 that caused cancer, physical deformations and mental retardation in many Native communities.
I was stationed in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, a few years ago. That military installation is literally the definition of being built on a native burial ground. Lots of spooky shit happens there, but once I visited Geronimo's grave on memorial day- i was the only one out at the native gravesite that day paying my respects, once I got up to leave an Armadillo walked right up to me and chilled for a solid ten minutes. I'm sure it was nothing, but damn if the walls between worlds didn't feel awfully thin that day.
He was nothing more than a killer and horse thief
I’m a lawyer in OK, and I just want to comment that our State Constitution (based on the State of Sequoyah’s) is written much more broadly than the U.S. Constitution and includes various rights belonging to the people and individuals that we do not have at the federal level. Our State equivalent to the First Amendment, for example, goes beyond just the five protections identified in the U.S. Constitution!
What's wrong with the sound? I've noticed this on a few of your latest videos, the audio balance is terrible. Johnny's VO will phase from normal to almost silent. I've tested this through my PC surround sound, phone and TV, but it's the same and only on your videos.
Same here, I am glad I'm not the only one hearing this
It's driving me crazy and I don't think I can finish watching this video.
I wasn’t expecting this to be quite such an upsetting watch. Thank you for covering this important piece of history that was entirely excluded from my British education.
Oh don't feel left out, this history isn't taught in the American education neither.
Looking at maps of historic US, I always noticed OK being marked as “Indian Territory” and wondered “huh why isn’t OK an Indian state, then?”
Thanks for covering this topic
I learned new things in your channel....love it... Great Job!
I think a video on the Indian Child Welfare Act, given the recent SCOTUS decision, would be a logical next step in this journey. Definitely get in contact with Rebecca Nagle.
This fills my soul with so much emotion, mostly stunned rage that this happened at all. I am devastated that this horrible schooling system that we have NEVER touched any of this. This History of this Nation was purposefully shoved out of the way, and only now am I learning how it all happened.
The barbarous atrocities committed upon indigenous people is unthinkable. And in the face of all that, these people demonstrated such humanity, such courage, such enduring pride and respect not only for their own cultures and beliefs but those of others.
Please make more of these videos, Johnny. Please continue telling this vital history because it is OUR history as human beings. I know it is a huge topic because you recognise that each tribe and each people deserve respect and acknowledgement of their own stories, but please continue going piece by piece.
The only reason that conquered civilizations are idolized is because we choose to forget about the moral failings of the defeated. This is often encouraged by the fact that we lack the material evidence to contradict out emotional conclusions. It happens with every conquered culture, the Spartans are remembered as valiant heroes: The Ottomans are remembered for their fair administration and their conquest of Constantinople. The Romans are remembered for their engineering, and their skill on the battlefield. The Celts were praised for their ferocity. But ultimately, all of these empires and their people committed terrible mass atrocities on multiple occasions over hundreds and thousands of years. The only reason that many of the native American tribes are so revered is because they lacked a robust system for archiving history and no one is left who remembers the atrocities that their ancestors committed.
A person can be valiant, brave, kind, and noble. A government lacks that level of agency, it can only allocate resources. Pretending that one is the other is nothing but propaganda.
The USA is a racist pagan Protestant Anglo-Saxon fake country of war criminals and we will take this empire down sooner in our time!!🤺☦🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
@@electroninja8768Self defense is not an atrocity. The devil always has an excuse ready for sin.
@@eauneau I agree that self defense is not an atrocity. What is your point?
Also, the devil needs no excuse for sin, he has already been cast down. You only need an excuse if you fear the consequences of your actions.
"We're still here.. We are not going anywhere." - Native Americans 😔
Native Americans population in their motherland, Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while European population in their motherland, Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'TWO BILLIONS'! A shockingly sad truth. 😔
I live in Oklahoma and it has always seemed to have a negative spirit permeation. I am convinced that it is literally cursed. God bless all those victims of the trail of tears and the Osage killings.
I'm Osage, and those killings touched every family, mine included. I wish he'd explained why Osage County/Reservation was shown as separate in the video.
@@catehaneynewman5954 read the book, Killers of the Flower Moon. Truly hurt my heart. How can such hate exist? Worst than that; how can such indifference about the history exist? Even in Oklahoma history you won't hear about it. Lord help us all...
@@evanflowforever6615 I have chosen not to read that book about my tribe. It's too hurtful and too close to home.
@@catehaneynewman5954 I understand. We love our native American brothers and sisters in Oklahoma. It's not all devil's and demons in the world. Be blessed
Great production, story, and information as usual! However, there's too much bass and waaaay too many bass sweeps in this video. It's very uncharacteristic for audio that's usually really well produced on this channel.
Thank you. "Bass sweeps." I was wondering what that sound is called. Overdone here.
I watched this on the tv and it was so hard to understand what he was saying now and again
Johnny is the only youtuber who makes even the ads look interesting! It's hard to skip his ads
The upcoming movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" (Oct 2023) is based on the true story of the Osage Native American tribe in Oklahoma and tells the story of how the greed for resources led to the murder of the Indigenous. Neat coincidence for Johnny to also tell this story
I’ve been waiting for that it looks good
I grew up in Creek County in Oklahoma. I am navajo & apache from Arizona. I personally didn't know about a lot of the legalities & my parents never really shown or might not have known. In school, i learned about sequoia & the alphabet he created. I remember being taught about the land runs, they never mentioned how all the tribes were already in the indian territory, or where they came from.
a lot of pick& choosing of what they wanted us to learn from "history". I am glad there are videos like this I can show my 8yr old son about how people like us are STILL here.
thank you for this video and the time yall put in it.
ahéhee
Something similar happened in Mexico and all over Latin America , it is really sad how many cultures and knowledge we lost
not lost, eradicated by christian europeans. makes you wonder who are the most evil people in all human history.
Not something similar, the very exact processes was used all over the world towards natives of their own land… sad to say, but it still continues to this day. So when someone says, go back to where you came from, it’s laughable because if we dig deep enough, we’ll find a land grabber within our own lineage..
These are important videos. Growing up in the US, I was never taught this and so much American history that was swept under the rug.
Same here in Romania, but we had the communism doing it
@@racataiangheorghe128 but that wasnt real communism and even it was still better then capitalsim when u stop and think about it for a sec
@@EyeOfThePhi it was the real deal for Romania with communism, as worse as it gets, maybe NKoreea got it worse.
@@racataiangheorghe128 actually that just isn't tru
The history of US imperislism and the europeans are about rape ,murder, and perpetual servitude of the native people everywhere till today to another form.
Having grown up in Oklahoma, this single video is more comprehensive and accurate than any of the revisionist Oklahoma history taught in the public school system.
Thank you for this coverage
There’s a not dissimilar story in Australia, New Zealand and quite a lot of other places. It makes me so so sad.
wherever christian europeans arrive everyone is going to have a real bad time : D
This was an amazing video and I am so grateful for the insight. I would love to learn more about the real story of our nations history. Thank you and your team for all the work putting this out ❤
We need a part 3
i just found ur channel 36 hours ago and im impressed by your work honestly!
i watched about 12-13 videos of yours till now and the most informative one in my opinion was about nuclear power it was really informative and i learnt a lot of new things from that video
at the end i just wanna say thank you and you earned a subscriber ☺ congrats!
you wanted more stories like this.
Look at the Sami people in Norway (specially), Sweden and Finland. They were driven out and prevented from speaking their language or practice their culture until the end of 19th century, and today there is a revival where old Sami place names are reintroduced and language and government is being set up more and more to revive them.
Greenland
I like this format. It's like telling ChatGPT to 'explain this topic to me like I'm 12', but with a well written script and pleasing graphics.
Being from Oklahoma. This hits home. Everything about this video is real. Go to Oklahoma now, and it’s full of Indian casino taking back the white mans money.
That last point is so important. Hundreds of cultural aspects have been boiled down to "Native American" and dismissed away entirely. This country stands on mountains of bones.
Looks a lot like whats happening to the Palestinians, especially if you look at the maps since 1948. Actually exactly like what Israel is doing to Palestine with their settler occupation. My heart goes out to the native/first Americans.
Amazing work as always, Johnny. I live in Oklahoma and I feel like a lot of the people here are not well-educated on this. Thank you for this video
For those of you curious about more info on the 2020 supreme court decision. It basically stemmed from a decision that Native American's who committed crimes on tribal lands couldn't be prosecuted in Oklahoma State courts.
more info: In 1997, Jimcy McGirt was convicted by the state of Oklahoma for raping and sexually assaulting a four-year old girl, and was sentenced to two consecutive 500-year sentences. The man at the center of a hallmark U.S. Supreme Court case in 2020 has been released from prison at age 75.
Later in 2022... Victor Manuel Castro-Huerta, a non-Native, was convicted in Oklahoma state court of child neglect, and he was sentenced to 35 years. The victim, his stepdaughter, is Native American, and the crime was committed within the Cherokee Reservation. By a 5-4 vote, the Court held that “the Federal Government and the State have concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country.” Respondent Victor Castro-Huerta, a resident of Tulsa, was convicted by the State of Oklahoma of child neglect and sentenced to 35 years of imprisonment with the possibility of parole. After he was convicted, the Court decided McGirt v. Oklahoma, which held that Congress had never disestablished the Creek Reservation in eastern Oklahoma. The practical impact of McGirt is that eastern Oklahoma (including Tulsa) is now recognized as Indian country. Castro-Huerta argued that, as a non-Indian who allegedly committed a crime against an Indian in Indian country, the federal government had exclusive jurisdiction to prosecute him and that the state therefore lacked jurisdiction to do so. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals agreed. While Castro-Huerta’s state case was on appeal, a federal grand jury indicted him, and he accepted a plea agreement for a 7-year sentence followed by removal from the United States.
Absolutely loved the video; however, there was something wonky about the booming “music” or sounds you had playing in the background that somehow affected the actual volume, causing it to up and down. Keep them coming though… :)
The vocals are lost in the bass
Yes! I was worried I was losing my hearing.
It sucks a lot that when you peel away the veneer of civilization in all of humanity's history, it's all people being horrible against one another like it's a universal constant that can't be broken, ever.
Also, the titling of this video is something else. The thieves stole even the name of the place, that Johnny had to cross out and write the real one, which has been all but thoroughly erased.
