I can highly recommend the Lost Tunes of Ruperts Land! Got it as part of an indigogo campaign a few yrs ago. A few of the songs were already in my collection as part of 'celtic' albums I've bought through the yrs and it was great hearing them reimagined with a Canadian plains influence. The production quality is good too!
You are easily one of the best historical based channels on youtube, your attention to detail is incredible and these videos are packed with historical knowledge that is quickly disappearing. Never stop Hammerson these videos are a veritable goldmine, you are a mountain of knowledge on both fortean and little known subjects.
✨Hammerson Peters , Merci Beaucoup 🙏🏼ThankYou so much for recording my families very dangerous early beginnings here in the 1600’s . I have always hoped these stories would be recorded and shared for our future generations. I am so grateful for your talent and the attention to the historical detail that you put into this film . These stories are from my family’s early beginnings in New France . We have many of these stories written in our French Genealogical Books. I heard these stories relayed to me as a child verbally. This is a historical treasure ,an account that I am so happy to share with my family today. This is the historical record. May you be Blessed for your work and sharing these treasured accounts of the incredible bravery that it took to be living in those times. 🫶 ✨🌲🦶🏿🌳🧚♂️🌲🐕🦺😊🕊️✨
My Ancestors too! 😊 I really love and appreciate the work put into his vids, especially this one. Many Blessings to you, to Hammerson and our Ancestors!
@@llamadeus11 ✨Yes , be proud of where you have come from . You are the living proof of an adventurous resilient people who where willing to give whatever it took to discover a new and wild land in order to carve out a life of freedom and prosperity . They sacrificed leaving their familiar roots and lives behind sacrificing everything to find their freedom away from oppression , tyrannies and the wars of the past . The barbarism that our European ancestors were so familiar with . The European experience was fraught with the dangers associated with who the Ruler of the Day was , your location and what your Spiritual beliefs and ethnicity were . When you consider everything it took to carve out a life here , out of the wilderness , meaning all of the skills one had to be experienced in to survive it astounding because everything was done by hand , hard work and ingenuity was required for survival. They lived simply and their skills and Faith in God gave them what they needed to survive and pass down those skills and experiences down through the generations. We are here today the ancestors of the Voyagers . We are alive today as a testimony to our Forefathers Christian Faith , love of discovery , adventure and using their faith & perseverance in the face of adversity . It’s because of their strengths , knowledge , skills , dedication and ingenuity to build a good life in the new world that we are so Blessed to be sharing our relationship to this land that we walk upon today.

Thank you for covering this subject! Being decended from Huron/Abenaki and Métis, I also grew up around the Seneca People. I've heard many tales and my ancesters were the the first documented marriage between an Indigenous woman and a French settler.. So my family history is tied to a lot of what happened and we've been on a journey of discovery, any info helps! This was a wonderful video. The information is not easy to find, much is lost or is from biased sources. Thank you for putting this together.
I have gradually made this the ONLY channel I listen to. Usually have it on at night as I wind down. This... it's gold. The ambience is haunting and gripping. And your including the supernatural, a very real element too often ignored, makes this work priceless in my mind, it's so rare. It's taking over my media consumption and I ain't mad! Would love to hear some American mysteries too - southwest is full of lore, mystery and legends you would love. Particularly Taos, up into the San Luis Valley... land of the Utes and Pueblo.. as well as the Navajo country to the west, which feels like walking through a different world or another planet. I wish I knew more of what took place here... and the natives are very guarded, for good reason. I'm sure you are one of the very few who could revive it, in a way that would be appreciated and cherished by the anglos, Spanish and natives alike. I just wish we had someone like you to revive the history in a way like you do, with the eye you have for the paranormal influence, we need an American Hammerson Peters!
I know very well the New-France history and I have to say you made a great job here, my friend ! I'm happy you are sharing this to the rest of the world. Thank you and God Bless You.
Mr. Peters, I love your work. Your voice, the music, the visuals, all make for an interesting look at a past I never knew existed. It makes me want to move to Canada. My maternal grandmother was Canadian. There is something so wild and different about Canada !
It has become customary to give the like at the very beginning of the video. It can be said that a Hammerson Peters production is certified quality and entertainment.
As an American I find your channel truly amazing and fascinating. I am a lover of history but we aren't taught much about Canadian history down here for fairly obvious reasons even though our histories are inextricably tied together.
@@HammersonPeters Mostly local stories of far-off campaigns. Nothing really Supernatural. Was good to hear a different perspective though. Niawen for the upload.
Outstanding video. The first Trepanier (spelled de Trepagny at the time) was born in New France in 1671. He went on to travel to Louisiana where he purchased a plantation and raised a large family. Two of his sons travelled back to Quebec and settled. The rest is history.
Thank you! My father never knew until late in his life that his paternal great-grandfather was a Québécois who emigrated to the US in the 1850s. I have since managed to trace that branch of family mostly back to the original immigrants in the 1600s. Most of my French Canadian ancestors were simple tenant farmers and are rarely mentioned in histories. Your presentation gives me some insight into the daily lives of the earliest of them. One of my ancestors was in the groups abducted and killed by the Iroquois in the 1660s. More interestingly for me, second one was stationed at Fort Orange with his wife and family. Because I have only the sketchiest understanding of French Canadian history, I never understood why he stayed at this distant outpost for several years after his wife died, only to relocate back to the Laurentian Valley in the early 1700s. This was always a bit inexplicable because he had some very young children at the time. However, it corresponds with the end of the Beaver Wars, now it makes sense.
The contrast between how funny beaver wars sounds, as opposed to what happened. The savagery and slaughter never ends, it just manifests in diverse manners and environments.
Great choice on spotlighting the beaver wars! Not many do.. I am a Michigander with Ojibwa heritage so I love that you make an effort to keep native American history alive. Even more so by selecting the Iroquois point massacre. I even appreciate you skipping the more "exotic" parts of the story like transforming into otters and beavers. You present it as a real human interaction with real stakes that actually existed between my ancestors and the invaders. Also 57:45 you made a, very unusual to my ears, pronunciation that sounds distinctly french. Is that really how you say the word "portaged" or was that a mistake?
This is a perspective I’ve never heard before. Really interesting to me, I'm going to look into the stories of talking heads. I have heard that the Rotinonhsíon:ni would typically use burning at the stake because the clergymen thought it would allow them to enter heaven faster or something like that.
Keep it up HP, Love all your wrk, Really Really GREAT Stuff as usual🎉 I found you from looking for Cryptozooligy Many Many Moons ago, and i ahve to say, EVerything you Produce is such great Quality im very glad to have found a channel that fits the Childhood Geek so to speak in my Thanks Very much for your time Knowadge and Story telling like none else!
❤...Wow ,THANKS!!! ...im french canadian and i have personaly worked,on construction,in exacly ALL THE TERRITORIES you mention...even united states,my mother and her mother come from massachussett's...family name:York my grandfather is Dutch:VALLEE... Best of Salutation's Nomade const. worker!
I'm not sure if you yourself are a Catholic or not, but you definitely know what you're talking about in terms of Catholic "language." It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't label Jesuits as evil for once.
Battle of ghost river, 100 km up the Albany River on the James Bay coast between the Mohawks and Crees. The Crees lost and were on the receiving end of the battle. There is a graveyard there at ghost river. All I know about it. My wife was from Kashechewan, ,ON on the mouth of the Albany River on the western James Bay coast. I am from the southern tip of the James bay coast, an island called Moose Factory, ON. She our two children live here in Moose Factory. In ‘Kash’ they make yearly trip to ghost river by canoe. My dad hunted there before, was .spokey he said.
It's so horrible, I wish so much that I could learn more about the Erie tribe but they were wiped out by the Iroquois before much could even be learned. It was a massive and strong tribe too, it wasn't no little thing. I guess the Iroquois just did so well because they had guns and the natives west of them didn't. The Eriez were actually one of the only tribes to use concentrated snake venom laced arrows, it's weird to hear now but Northeast Ohio actually had more rattlesnakes than almost anywhere else in the country back then. People just systematically destroyed their dens which they need up North, that and it being perfectly flat and farmable did them in but the reports from the early 1800's are crazy. The southern shore of the lake was crawling with massasauga and timber rattlers.
I really wish to learn about the Beaver war from every side. This is one really interesting video, but it is moslty the story describe by colonisers and really painted those priests as saviors(and it is biased by the priests themselves who had written those stories) I really want to know how the war was lived by all the nations inclued in that war. I know the story is told diferently nation to nation via oral tradition. It would be really interisting to ear that.
As a (partial) descendant of the Iroquois, I find it very saddening to learn of their alleged practices of torture and cannibalism, of which I confess that I was not aware until I heard about them through your channel. I hope that the gruesome tales about their cruelty were the mere inventions, or at least the exaggerations, of their white enemies. I will need to do my own research before I am satisfied that I really know the truth about my ancestors. That said, I am not accusing you of lying or misrepresenting the facts either. One ray of comfort that I derive from their allegedly fearsome behavior, even if it was truly as bad as is claimed, is the fact that, no matter how brutal and violent the Iroquois may at times have been, they were primarily fighting against the people of multiple invading empires who were taking their land by force and killing their people with bullets and smallpox. If I were defending my homeland against well-armed and implacably bigoted imperialist jackals, I too might be tempted to stoop to terror tactics in an attempt to purge such a violent alien menace from the environs occupied by my people. (I doubt that I would ever become a cannibal, but I would certainly swing a tomahawk with the best of them.) Whatever barbarism the Iroquois may have implemented in their struggle to maintain their lives and liberty, it pales when set beside the blood-soaked centuries of tragedy inflicted upon all of the indigenous peoples of this hemisphere. I can't help thinking that if all the Native Americans had put aside their differences and joined together against the invaders- if they had all fought like the Iroquois, then history would have taken a very different turn, and this world would be a very different place. Maybe a better place? Maybe. PS: I have the feeling that I may have mad a comment very similar to the one above on another of your videos featuring the Iroquois. If so, I apologize for becoming repetitious. --N
I think it's safe to say that the ancestors of every person alive today belonged to cultures which practiced ritual torture and/or cannibalism. The ancestors of the French, to use an example from this video, were burning their prisoners of war alive in wicker cages by the time the Romans showed up 2,000 years ago. Blood/pain tribute seems to be a universal demand of whatever dark entities, real or imagined, our ancestors worshipped. It's not something worth worrying about, in my opinion, as we all share the same heritage in that respect.
I recommend the book Bonds of Alliance by Brett Rushforth. It is about the system of slavery that was practiced by the native peoples of the Great Lakes and how French Canadians adapted it. It’s primarily about the Algonquins instead of the Iroquois, but it reflects on the whole region.
The French side of fights various north America from A to Z old times . . was signified by a lack of constraint as in they promoted their Indian proxies to conduct massacres against remote defenseless English Protestant settlers . . this same like of torture by the French Canadian forces in ww2 Normandy . . singled them out for special treatment by the retreating Germans
Ok, Hammerson, *checkmate* ..We may be a bunch of gun loving war mongers south of the 49th and we may like to make fun of our shivering redheaded step-siblings up North and maaaybe we squabbled when we were kids... buuut God help the sorry nation that ever starts beef with our shivering redheaded step-siblings.
Hmmm Seems like freedom has a cost. If I had to guess & use my RUclips PhD in psychology. I'd say that living in a place. Where resources are scarce and the environment is tough. The population could be more cooperative & therefore slightly more passive.
Mark 10:46-52 King James Version 46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Remember, the genuine catholicism is the religion of the miracles, the only one. The Church of Christ. I'm not a religious guy but I remember. Among my sins.
The map needs some work.by 1640 the Huron were on the way to mere memories. Running from Iroquios, we settled them east of lake Simcoe. Nowhere near the great lakes. 100 square miles or so my people gave them. The Mohawk showed up around 1779 with hat in hand so we gave them the Grand River , begginning to Lake Ontario, 10 km on either side. History is cool. Turtle Island, is Ontario.
Kinda of a funny opening... "If you don't count all the grief and strife in our history we don't have near as much historical grief and strife as our neighbor Nation."
I could have kept going. The fur trade. Slavery. The transition to self-governance. Canadian and American history have a lot of parallels, but with the exception of the Beaver Wars, Canada’s always seems to be less intense.
Christ is King my brother, as Hispanic Catholic every day more devoted to the faith let us pray God enlightens all the misguided christians to re-embrace the principles of the true faith. Not so much for the allegiance to any institution but to the perfection of thought and sentiment of the Latin Theology and Philosophy.
I was taught by Jesuits in high school.They certainly enjoyed inflicting a lot of pain on students.They should have been charged with assault and battery.They would today.

Wow!
Hammerson Peters on the Beaver wars… I clicked on this for all the wrong reasons 😊
Battle of ghost river, 100 km up the Albany River on the James Bay coast between the Mohawks and Crees. The Crees lost and were on the receiving end of the battle. There is a graveyard there at ghost river. All I know about it. My wife was from Kashechewan, ,ON on the mouth of the Albany River on the western James Bay coast.

My dad hunted there before, was .spokey he said.
Very interesting! I assume there must be a ghost story associated with it, considering the name.
@@HammersonPeters yes locals in Kash got lots of stories. My dad said they camped there, just mentioned it was a spokey place.
Yep

Blood/pain tribute seems to be a universal demand of whatever dark entities, real or imagined, our ancestors worshipped. It's not something worth worrying about, in my opinion, as we all share the same heritage in that respect.
I recommend the book Bonds of Alliance by Brett Rushforth. It is about the system of slavery that was practiced by the native peoples of the Great Lakes and how French Canadians adapted it. It’s primarily about the Algonquins instead of the Iroquois, but it reflects on the whole region.
The French side of fights various north America from A to Z old times . . was signified by a lack of constraint as in they promoted their Indian proxies to conduct massacres against remote defenseless English Protestant settlers . . this same like of torture by the French Canadian forces in ww2 Normandy . . singled them out for special treatment by the retreating Germans
Have you ever watched the channel British Muzzleloaders?
No, I haven’t.
@@HammersonPeters you sound like his doppelganger, it's uncanny. I appreciate your videos.
Ok, Hammerson, *checkmate* ..We may be a bunch of gun loving war mongers south of the 49th and we may like to make fun of our shivering redheaded step-siblings up North and maaaybe we squabbled when we were kids... buuut God help the sorry nation that ever starts beef with our shivering redheaded step-siblings.
There are few things as interesting as watching other animals going to war.
Drat, this isn't about beavers going to war, then.
Hmmm Seems like freedom has a cost.
If I had to guess & use my RUclips PhD in psychology. I'd say that living in a place. Where resources are scarce and the environment is tough. The population could be more cooperative & therefore slightly more passive.
Hope Beaver Wars was enjoyed..next up..BUFFALO WARS
anywhere but amazon mate the shipping,if amazon ships to my country,would cost me 3 or 4 times what the books are worth sorry
Mark 10:46-52 King James Version
46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Canada has dark history oh yes!! 🎉
Remember, the genuine catholicism is the religion of the miracles, the only one. The Church of Christ. I'm not a religious guy but I remember. Among my sins.
The map needs some work.by 1640 the Huron were on the way to mere memories. Running from Iroquios, we settled them east of lake Simcoe. Nowhere near the great lakes. 100 square miles or so my people gave them. The Mohawk showed up around 1779 with hat in hand so we gave them the Grand River , begginning to Lake Ontario, 10 km on either side.
History is cool. Turtle Island, is Ontario.
Hey now, canadas working hard to up their numbers with their recent genocidal count.
Kinda of a funny opening...
"If you don't count all the grief and strife in our history we don't have near as much historical grief and strife as our neighbor Nation."
I could have kept going. The fur trade. Slavery. The transition to self-governance. Canadian and American history have a lot of parallels, but with the exception of the Beaver Wars, Canada’s always seems to be less intense.

I object to the word “work”. Religious missionaries are hobbiests.
Christ is Mars closer before . . but please continue
And people wonder why many of the tribes of native Americans had to be conquered. Many of these tribe made it worse for the peaceful ones.
Christ is King. Canada must return to the traditional faith of St. John de Breboif, Gabriel Lalemant, Noel Chabenel, and Charles Garnier.
Tell Canada's Bishops 🌹✝️🌹
Amen
Go back to fairy tale land you loons
Or?
Christ is King my brother, as Hispanic Catholic every day more devoted to the faith let us pray God enlightens all the misguided christians to re-embrace the principles of the true faith. Not so much for the allegiance to any institution but to the perfection of thought and sentiment of the Latin Theology and Philosophy.
United states bad Canada good. Thanks for your wise teachings.
Canada wasn’t a country in 1812…
Not going to get to the point, ok, I'm out.
I was taught by Jesuits in high school.They certainly enjoyed inflicting a lot of pain on students.They should have been charged with assault and battery.They would today.
I can see the need for finest beaver 🦫 😊
