As a Native American, I am INSULTED when people say the colonists STOLE our land. That implies we just sat there and let them take it. We fought and fought hard. We lost. Just like thousands of times before in history.
Let us not also forget the methods they used when fighting ended…the holocaust of smallpox blankets, rancid food, brutal boarding schools to beat “the Indian out of the Indian,” arid reservations far from a tribe’s original home, the beating of children in public schools for speaking their languages…the list is very long. (Btw Hitler studied the reservation system while developing “the final solution.”) While some tribes were lost to genocide, many more survived overwhelming odds and, to paraphrase Maya Angelou, “and still they rise.”
I wish Our People would have seen the deceit first. We fought as hard as we could. We can fight but we couldn't fight the sickness They brought and didn't care.
The reason the natives could not defend against the small number of Spanish was because the natives as whole could not unite themselves many weaker native tribes joined the Europeans the main reason being was the natives were not a peaceful people before the arrival of the Europeans they conquered and killed each other for hundreds of years and in the end for no less noble cause the natives were conquered themselves.
Happy New Year everyone! This was my first video of the new year, and wow, great video❤ I had never heard this story before.

The Seminoles are Mayan descendants which is why they were willing to die for their respect instead of compromising. It’s how Miami got it’s name. I have pictures of the Mayan decorations that are still there.

The people were Muscogee. The tribes could have been Creek, Seminole and maybe some Cherokee. Tribes intermingled all the time but likely it was Creek/Seminole
The deep southeast, especially Florida was a garden of eden. Food was plentiful. Deer, fish, shellfish, turkey, and freshwater springs insured these people would never be without food. Combined with a mild climate and farming techniques, they were able to grow crops for most of the year. The Spaniards recording their first exposure to this blessed land recorded the truth.
@ yeah but not with the physiognomy depicted in the thumb nail. Clearly trying to push the pan Africa bs that blacks were the real native Americans, Egyptians, early Europeans etc.
Well there was some African American slaves that fled to Florida, when it was still under control of the Spanish, and they married into the creek and later Seminole, that broke off from the creek, so there were half black native Americans but that would be like a century or two later.

I'd like to know more about Native culture. I've read that the Americas had trade, culture, governments, medicine, education... But I'd like to know more if anyone can recommend some good books on the subject. I've understand that most died before they ever saw a European, as the disease raced ahead faster. But I've always wondered how the invaders could take over like that. One clue may be the plague that hit the lands a few centuries earlier, and killed more than the European virus killed. And that the Native populations hadn't yet recovered when the white soldiers came? Anyone? I've seen PREY last year, and watched some of it today on youtube. It was a great movie!
After that battle the natives went back to Cuba for safety, but the Spanish ended up finding Cuba and murdering all of them except the women. Now that's the modern-day Cuban mixed
A carlto shell is not a native American name.And if you read the story of Christopher Columbus He described the women as naked and not adorned with Tattoos or jewelry.They didn't have gold mines.And it took several trips before they even realized there was precious ores in America
@@londonmmc Christopher Columbus provided specific descriptions of the Native Americans' skin tone in his journals, although he used comparative rather than precise terms. The most notable reference is his statement that their skin was: "the color of the Canarians, neither black nor white." This description does not specify a single color but places their complexion in a spectrum familiar to Europeans of his time. The indigenous people of the Canary Islands were often described as having a medium, tan, or bronze complexion, which Columbus used as a point of comparison.
They made land fall, according to the US National Park Service in Bradenton, FL, on the shore along the Southside of the Manatee River, where the De Soto National Memoral Park and Monument is located!
The native tribes of SW Florida did not cultivate maize, the already poor soils would not support it. Peppers and papaya were more commonly cultivated.
Jjnope,All the descriptions ever given was they were completely naked.,no mention of tattoos or extravagant jewelry.They were plain very common Indians.
Hey! it's HOT AF in Florida... we weren't naked... we had breechclout (loin cloths) and legging on!! And there was NEVER a time we didn't have Paint, tattoos, and ESPECIALLY extravagant jewelry... thank you..
What I don't get is, Europe has been over-run countless times by ravaging and murderous, barbarian hordes who burnt cities and plundered riches, and Europe bounced back. Europe was devastated by many infectious plagues and deadly diseases which depopulated the continent numerous times, and they bounced back. Europe has ruined itself many times with giant armies and the latest weapons, over religion, government, or just the urge for conquest, and they bounced back. Why couldn't the American Indians, or their 3 major empires ever bounce back? Where is the resilience? Why was it so fragile?
it wasn't fragile... Europ "recovered" because Europe was fighting ITSELF... at the end of every thing you mentioned, including the black plague, europe was all licking their wounds and recovering AT THE SAME TIME... and sometimes helping each other do it... Europeans never gave the Native Americans the chance for that.. they got their butt kicked so then said "peace!!!" and gave us nice comfy blankets...we are still here... and as 90% of our population died off from the smallpox loaded blankets.. they attacked en-force... we are still here.... war after war... we are still here... Custard did a great job of attacking women and children and then attacked our warriors.. oops... we are still here.... Andrew Jackson signed the indian removal act.. the Mvskoke (my people) chuckled and let the upper Muscogee Creek who signed the treaty get moved.. while the rest of us moved to florida for vacation.. We are still here... we sent Oceola into south florida drawing fedral troops into the swamps of the Everglades where they took the name Seminole... out of 3000 troops only 3 men returned to President Jackson... We are still here...... they are called "Unconquered Florida Seminoles" for a reason... WE ARE STILL HERE! the Modoc (also called Klamath) of the North West faught the Fedral troops to literally the last man... when he was done and all the federal troops were laying on the ground.. he returned to his village... today there are around 600 in Klamath County, Oregon and another 200 in Miami, Oklahoma.. with an unknown number living outside those cities.. and The Klamath Tribes in Chiloquin, Oregon have about 3,500 members... They Are Still Here..... You made your statement like we are gone... not talking about the other 400 nations... just my people alone, "According to recent information, there are approximately 100,000 Muscogee (Creek) Nation citizens, also known as Mvskoke people, with the majority residing in Oklahoma" and that doesn't count those who REFUSE to get numbered and be entered into any "rolls" How do you not see that we are still here? MVTO !!!!!
Great Lesson! What I see disrespectful is there's a lot of non-native American people here trying to speak for Native American is insulting to us comparing us to Asians people that's a huge insult
Are you talking about the Vikings who came from Iceland and Greenland to Vinland which is like modern day Canada now because I don't think they were Saxons, I think they were Norman's, Danes, and swedish.
That's already been talked about a billion times...the Spanish always seem to get a pass and it's important to remember that they were colonizers just like the British. Most modern day Mexican and Latinos are descendants of Spanish colonizers and yet people seem to either ignore or deny that. Not that it's bad or anything, but it's the facts.
Probably Timuquans. Were supposed to have had bows so strong they would drive an arrow right through the Spanish armor. Spaniards also had to battle alligators and mosquitos and disease.
People have been traveling between these continents for thousands of years trading and bringing things like seeds and such as they came, don't be fooled by the narrative Fam, best regards to you, young god🫡

For he was the 1st one to bring horses back to America.for horses were native to America as were Camel's.during pangia They migrated to the middle east
@@AndrewLedet-q9l The ancient prehistoric horses of North America became extinct 10,000yrs ago. The wild horse we see roaming the western plains today were domesticated wild horse breeds brought over to North America from Europe by the Spaniards.
Native Americans used bear grease all over their body they used from the time they were born to ward of mosquitoes. The southeastern indians also tattooed their bodies all over. So they appear darker
there are 2 species of persimmon, those species are the common, or American, persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), native to North America, and the Japanese, or kaki, persimmon (D. kaki), native to China but widely cultivated in other temperate regions. [EDITED to correct spelling error]
I don't believe the Soto speech. "Maybe" it was written by someone once back in Mexico or Spain as propaganda. The Spanish were used to the New World by 1538. Soto was slaver who brought 500 sets of chains to Tampa. He helped in the Inca conquest and slaved off of central America. He would not have found the people noble or admirable, only something to exploit. My fictional book, "Freedom's Quest" begins after the battle of Mabilia (not Mobile) and Soto's orders to send the supply ships away so his army could not mutiny. The chronicles tell how the chained native Americans walking through swamps would roil up the swamp water with their chains to bring fish to the surface and the captives would eat the fish raw. That is when the true evil of the expedition hit me, 500 chained people and not enough food to feed them all. Work them to death and re-fill the chains at the next village. .
Respectfully, your comment lacks context and knowledge. Indian was a word given to these people by Europeans. They did not self identify as Indian during these times. Black is a color not a race. Black comes in 42 shades of black/brown. So technically if you are naming black then you are referring to a color which these ppl were black/brown in color. When making arguments like this it’s critical to provide context, if not it looks completely uneducated. If you are trying to determine their race or ethnic background then that’s done with dna. DNA testing tells you who you are and your racial identity. Without dna testing, you are simply categorizing people by their skin color which is incredibly ignorant.

I'd like to know more about Native culture. I've read that the Americas had trade, culture, governments, medicine, education... But I'd like to know more if anyone can recommend some good books on the subject. I've understand that most died before they ever saw a European, as the disease raced ahead faster. But I've always wondered how the invaders could take over like that. One clue may be the plague that hit the lands a few centuries earlier, and killed more than the European virus killed. And that the Native populations hadn't yet recovered when the white soldiers came?
Anyone?
I've seen PREY last year, and watched some of it today on youtube. It was a great movie!
After that battle the natives went back to Cuba for safety, but the Spanish ended up finding Cuba and murdering all of them except the women. Now that's the modern-day Cuban mixed
A carlto shell is not a native American name.And if you read the story of Christopher Columbus He described the women as naked and not adorned with Tattoos or jewelry.They didn't have gold mines.And it took several trips before they even realized there was precious ores in America
@@ricklamb772 He also said they light brown to brown complexion.
@@MRXYZ1ERin his journal? Asking for research purposes.
@@londonmmc Christopher Columbus provided specific descriptions of the Native Americans' skin tone in his journals, although he used comparative rather than precise terms. The most notable reference is his statement that their skin was:
"the color of the Canarians, neither black nor white."
This description does not specify a single color but places their complexion in a spectrum familiar to Europeans of his time. The indigenous people of the Canary Islands were often described as having a medium, tan, or bronze complexion, which Columbus used as a point of comparison.
They made land fall, according to the US National Park Service in Bradenton, FL, on the shore along the Southside of the Manatee River, where the De Soto National Memoral Park and Monument is located!
AWWW that's cute. The natives resisted the invaders. How"d that work out for them?
The native tribes of SW Florida did not cultivate maize, the already poor soils would not support it. Peppers and papaya were more commonly cultivated.
You show beautiful native women tattooed entire body,perfect hair,in athletic skin tight body suits. Did they all look like models?

Hey! it's HOT AF in Florida... we weren't naked... we had breechclout (loin cloths) and legging on!! And there was NEVER a time we didn't have Paint, tattoos, and ESPECIALLY extravagant jewelry... thank you..
@@carltonshell1964 Sounds gay.
Whatever resistance the Natives showed to the Spanish was against small bands of Spanish adventurers , never against a real Spanish army.
There’s a sign in a park in Punta Gorda that commemorates “The first white man killed by Native Americans.” I was shocked reading that.

We're assholes for destroying that paradise.
What I don't get is, Europe has been over-run countless times by ravaging and murderous, barbarian hordes who burnt cities and plundered riches, and Europe bounced back. Europe was devastated by many infectious plagues and deadly diseases which depopulated the continent numerous times, and they bounced back. Europe has ruined itself many times with giant armies and the latest weapons, over religion, government, or just the urge for conquest, and they bounced back. Why couldn't the American Indians, or their 3 major empires ever bounce back? Where is the resilience? Why was it so fragile?
it wasn't fragile... Europ "recovered" because Europe was fighting ITSELF... at the end of every thing you mentioned, including the black plague, europe was all licking their wounds and recovering AT THE SAME TIME... and sometimes helping each other do it... Europeans never gave the Native Americans the chance for that.. they got their butt kicked so then said "peace!!!" and gave us nice comfy blankets...we are still here... and as 90% of our population died off from the smallpox loaded blankets.. they attacked en-force... we are still here....
war after war... we are still here... Custard did a great job of attacking women and children and then attacked our warriors.. oops... we are still here.... Andrew Jackson signed the indian removal act.. the Mvskoke (my people) chuckled and let the upper Muscogee Creek who signed the treaty get moved.. while the rest of us moved to florida for vacation.. We are still here... we sent Oceola into south florida drawing fedral troops into the swamps of the Everglades where they took the name Seminole... out of 3000 troops only 3 men returned to President Jackson... We are still here...... they are called "Unconquered Florida Seminoles" for a reason... WE ARE STILL HERE! the Modoc (also called Klamath) of the North West faught the Fedral troops to literally the last man... when he was done and all the federal troops were laying on the ground.. he returned to his village... today there are around 600 in Klamath County, Oregon and another 200 in Miami, Oklahoma.. with an unknown number living outside those cities.. and The Klamath Tribes in Chiloquin, Oregon have about 3,500 members... They Are Still Here.....
You made your statement like we are gone... not talking about the other 400 nations... just my people alone, "According to recent information, there are approximately 100,000 Muscogee (Creek) Nation citizens, also known as Mvskoke people, with the majority residing in Oklahoma" and that doesn't count those who REFUSE to get numbered and be entered into any "rolls"

Why talking about the Spanish invaders and not of the Anglo Saxon invasion of northern america?
@@chrisvanzyk2549 this is the first English language video I’ve seen about the early Spanish explorations in what is now the USA.
Anglo-Saxons were conquered in 1066. You are confusing Normans with Saxons.
Are you talking about the Vikings who came from Iceland and Greenland to Vinland which is like modern day Canada now because I don't think they were Saxons, I think they were Norman's, Danes, and swedish.
Because Spain was the first invaders
That's already been talked about a billion times...the Spanish always seem to get a pass and it's important to remember that they were colonizers just like the British. Most modern day Mexican and Latinos are descendants of Spanish colonizers and yet people seem to either ignore or deny that. Not that it's bad or anything, but it's the facts.
Probably Timuquans. Were supposed to have had bows so strong they would drive an arrow right through the Spanish armor. Spaniards also had to battle alligators and mosquitos and disease.
The Desoto landing is in Bradenton Florida. Every year they have a huge parade there.
If that was in NY or LA there'd be protestors yelling "colonizers!" and tearing statues down. 😂
Fig plum and persimmon are, middle east and north African, not American
People have been traveling between these continents for thousands of years trading and bringing things like seeds and such as they came, don't be fooled by the narrative Fam, best regards to you, young god🫡
Plenty of persimmon trees all over the South from the Carolinas south, plenty of wild plum and other stuff, I'm sure Africa has em too
Apples are originally from China.
Actually, there are many subspecies that are not only native but indigenous to florida.
We have hog plums here in South Florida and I think they are native.
It would be much better, if you showed the natives the way they actually looked like, and not those ''hippy'' fantasy body paint
woke channel hes replacing native americans with african americans lol.
Including the way they painted their bodies , African not native. Narrated by an English man.
You all need to stop with the whole " woke " business, it is SO tired . We have no idea what was going here , stop coming to your own half cooked reasonings.

@@AndrewLedet-q9l The ancient prehistoric horses of North America became extinct 10,000yrs ago. The wild horse we see roaming the western plains today were domesticated wild horse breeds brought over to North America from Europe by the Spaniards.
And the men wore loin cloths,but the women were just naked
Your Video Picture is misleading, because there were no blaks/afrikans in what is now Florida as well as the US in the 1500s.

Why try to appropriate Native American identity by picturing them with black/African physical features?

@JohnMelland Including their place in history of the Americas, as the African/black ones are from Africa. Not America.
Native Americans used bear grease all over their body they used from the time they were born to ward of mosquitoes. The southeastern indians also tattooed their bodies all over. So they appear darker
Why are the natives depicted as black?

This could be more in depth
Plum and persimmon in the west hemisphere ? Are you sure?
This is obvious quoted from the diaries of the conquistadors themselves. He was explaining what he saw with the vocabulary that he had.
there are 2 species of persimmon, those species are the common, or American, persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), native to North America, and the Japanese, or kaki, persimmon (D. kaki), native to China but widely cultivated in other temperate regions.
[EDITED to correct spelling error]
I don't believe the Soto speech. "Maybe" it was written by someone once back in Mexico or Spain as propaganda. The Spanish were used to the New World by 1538. Soto was slaver who brought 500 sets of chains to Tampa. He helped in the Inca conquest and slaved off of central America. He would not have found the people noble or admirable, only something to exploit. My fictional book, "Freedom's Quest" begins after the battle of Mabilia (not Mobile) and Soto's orders to send the supply ships away so his army could not mutiny. The chronicles tell how the chained native Americans walking through swamps would roil up the swamp water with their chains to bring fish to the surface and the captives would eat the fish raw. That is when the true evil of the expedition hit me, 500 chained people and not enough food to feed them all. Work them to death and re-fill the chains at the next village. .
Mais I read in other Chronics has never been cultivated in North America, only in Mexico.

And they were all Indian,no blacks.
Respectfully, your comment lacks context and knowledge. Indian was a word given to these people by Europeans. They did not self identify as Indian during these times. Black is a color not a race. Black comes in 42 shades of black/brown. So technically if you are naming black then you are referring to a color which these ppl were black/brown in color. When making arguments like this it’s critical to provide context, if not it looks completely uneducated. If you are trying to determine their race or ethnic background then that’s done with dna. DNA testing tells you who you are and your racial identity. Without dna testing, you are simply categorizing people by their skin color which is incredibly ignorant.
They were a light shade of shyt. Not African at all. Lightyears ahead of Africans . Lightyears behind Whytes.
if there were no "blacks there" then why did the first conquistadors say that there was a Ethiopian colony on the west coast of america
