Why The Gold Rush Is One Of The Darkest Moments In US History | Whitewashed

- Beneath the promise of gold in California in the late 1840s and early 1850s, white settlers were well armed and prepared to kill Native Americans who lived there. These violent attacks against Native Americans were often supported and funded by the state's newly created government. To uncover more details about the gold rush, we spoke with Jayden Lim and Nicole Myers-Lim of the California Indian Museum and Benjamin Madley, author of "An American Genocide."

Why The Gold Rush Is One Of The Darkest Moments In US History | Whitewashed
I’m Tlingit and Haida from Alaska, and less than 60 years ago the white church took two of my great grandmothers children away because they said she had too many. We just found them last year after they had both passed away. Their daughters were able to go back out our home in South East Alaska and meet their family. They had no idea they were Tlingit.

thank you for telling parts of history that aren't normally taught in schools..
And as we go further… are even less likely to be taught in schools…
Why would the devil expose his evil. Much better to cover it up and make himself look like the good guy. Sounds like Donald Trump.
@@thunderbolt1359 what trump has to do with this ?
all of HIstory is a lie
@@HiThisIsMine well they had to make room for CRT what do you expect...
I went to a Indian boarding school and I remember the history books we used only had two pages about the history of natives, I got most of my knowledge from family. I'm still finding things out about our history here in Arizona. What I knew from a young age was that the government can't be trusted.
Please can you and your family publish in a book your own history books or at least put it on the internet so the more history is out there from your families perspective, the better because at least it's the truth
Yeah mon, ebook or whatever we will read it. History repeats itself.
@@Taylor086I would be in a state of pure happiness writing history. Im going to start writing and give it a go. May I ask if you can suggest any websites or platforms that I can use to begin?
True and I always get white people trying to educate me about my own culture. American ignorance is on par and worse than that of nazis. Actually I think nazis were inspired by American genocides. ✌
And they want to “white wash” history books.
The largest nuclear disaster in US history which happened on the Navajo Nation, growing up we were never taught what happened a few miles from us in school, we never new that our land was contaminated with uranium and not one mention was ever placed in school books
Yep. The only reference to any human suffering I ever saw was the cancer John Wayne got from shooting movies there (of course, it took his life). No mention Ever of Any Native problems, as if there was no effect at all
Yeah, my grandma grew up in that area-not in the Navajo Nation tho. She’s been battling really bad skin cancer most of her life, so I can only imagine what it’s been like for those closer to the epicenter. Colonialism just keeps on taking.
I hope to visit the Navajo Nation in the future, if I’d be welcomed. I’ve actually had this dream to walk down from where I’m at (it’s like 500 miles).
@@abbynormal3068 John Wayne was a jerk towards Native People tho.
The partial meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979 is thought to be the worst nuclear disaster in American history, but the Church Rock uranium mill spill in New Mexico, which occurred just four months later, actually released even more radioactive material into the environment. To say that the spill was cleaned up would be a major overstatement.
@@standdown4929 that makes me think of Marshall Islands. That’s a big toxic mess we left there. They were talking about cleaning it up in 2019, but I don’t think they actually did. They had apparently tried to clean it up multiple times before. They had sent some guys out in the 70’s without appropriate gear and they got sick. Just like the u.s.,add it to the long list.
History books need to be reviewed, corrected, and redistributed. It’s sad that history is only documented by those who have power. They wrote their own history to teach us what they wanted us to only know, which kept us ignorant of the real facts, and I’m glad we have the open communication by the web.
They taught us it was a bunch of explorers and adventures that came to find their fortune. They painted it like a movie. It was really a bunch of greedy murderers who where ruthless in obtaining their prize
Luckily, my teacher added California Genocide in the list of genocides we’re researching right now
There's plenty of room for new history to be written
@@andrewhernandez2188 that what they taught you about the gold rush? I doubt it, the rush to California is actually pretty well known by now to be a huge land grab full of horrible outcome for the indigenous inhabitants. I don't remember any classroom teaching the gold rush was about explorers especially when California had already been "discovered" by other Europeans.
@@ezralbs5157 i was taught that it was all about hitting the "jackpot". In 4th grade they dont teach you about genocide. We took a field trip to Jamestown to go panning for gold. But then again this was like 25 years ago
I am a college senior, studying to be an elementary school teacher. I came across this video while making an earth science lesson plan about classifying minerals. I wanted to connect The Gold Rush to differentiating between pyrite (fools gold) and gold. After watching this video, I can say that the lesson will be taking on a completely different form. I have lived in the US my whole life and was taught about the gold rush in school, yet this is all new information to me. I am continually disappointed and frustrated in the way that the education system fails to tell young, impressionable children the complete story and glorifies white people regardless of their actions. Thank you for making this resource. Thank you for sharing information. Your stories deserve to be heard.
Watch "The last of his tribe " and if possible read "genocide at roundvalley" for more of the truth you will have a hard time finding in any schoolbook about the 49rs.
Do yourself a favor, and don't fall for the claim that a video showing the opinions of only 2 people is in way something you should incorporate into any lesson plan. It's no different than the very claim that these producers made that the recorded history completely false. The opinion of a woman and her child, with no substantiation at all other than "well, we were told" doesn't prove or disprove anything. For all anyone knows, these two heard of something then just went to town creating their own viewpoint without ever learning anything at all. The "the mass graves are estimated to contain between 10 and 800 bodies" is a pretty glaring lack of clarity. There's a considerable difference in the size of a mass grave that contains 10 people and one that contains up to 800. Any halfway decent archeologist would never use a wildly inaccurate number like that.
@@nobodyspecial4702 😂yo denial is amusing. just own up to your ancestors dirty deeds.
white man from town.
@@nobodyspecial4702 are you also discounting the author’s 10 years of research? At some point Truth have to trump “race loyalty”. What those people did isn’t your blame to wear. You can denounce it as a decent human being.
@@DosesOfDarkness I have no idea how you decided that I must be claiming that never happened, because nothing in my comment even remotely gives that impression. What I did point out was that a "documentary" which provides only two opinions, one of which is entirely hearsay as I pointed out, isn't something anyone in college should cite as a source. It's called "giving good advice" to students instead of having anything to do with race or history.
I'm very thankful for a honest history teacher in high school. She often told us there was more to the history than what was in our books and to remember that history is always written by the winners/ those in power. So it is biased
How wonderful!
So explain how we know about Carthage if the Romans were the ones writing the history. Let's not forget the Southern perspective regarding the Civil War, because, as we all know they lost so we shouldn't be hearing from them. That whole "history is written by the victors" is such a blatantly false claim. History is written by the survivors, and in many cases the losers. Japan lost WW2 harder than anyone ever lost a war and yet they have absolutely no hesitation to paint themselves as the righteous warriors trying to free their Asian brethren from the horrible European overlords, ignoring that they did it by cutting off their heads and testing biological warfare against those very Asians.
@@nobodyspecial4702 my pt is they write history in their pv. They can choose to add, remove or adjust things. Doesn't necessarily mean they will lie. Just look at history book from other nations.
"His" story is the winners story and supposedly the truth. Lots of pomp and circumstance to whitewash the dark and degrading things done in the name of I want it and I want it NOW.
History is not written by victors, they are written by the country you’re reading it from and looking at political propaganda you’d know they are easily lying to you. In reality history is not something you read in school on a book, history is what you learn from your grandparents, your community elders, etc. people telling you historical events through their own perspectives and you piecing the causes of events but you’re not allowed to make any judgments.
When the internet was created , the government said it would be used to equalize education in all schools. It is so very much bigger than schools . Videos like this one speak a powerful truth that was denied in schools , now the truth is unstoppable . thank you for making this.
I'm a native Californian. I even have a history degree from a CalState. I didn't know this. Isn't it kind of like a German not knowing there were death camps?
Yes politicians and those in power doesn't teach the younger generation. It's almost like vanished history
I'm not sure what kind of correlation youre going for here but assuming you are referring to the Nazi concentration camps during WWII, then no, it is not even remotely similar to a German not being aware of "death camps." Those atrocities were widely documented, in particular by many other countries, and the German government not only acknowledges what happened but it's part of their mandatory education. Which is the exact opposite of what is included in American education. Which is the point of this video.
Person with history degree: “I didn’t know this history, the person telling me must be telling the truth”
@@primaryone3468 and also similar case with British education
@Accidental Colors Right. I guess my rhetorical device fell flat. Of course every German knows about the camps because--ironically--the US mandated it. We didn't make similar demands on the Japanese, maybe because they weren't as thoroughly occupied and defeated as the Germans, their culture seemed more alien and incorrigible, and finally--we just needed them more in the Cold War calculation. It was logically taken for granted that the Germans wouldn't willingly turn Soviet. I had known that official bounties were put on Califonia Indian heads, but it's nothing I got from school. I guess my basic point is that California's worst atrocity isn't even common knowledge. But to rehabilitate my initial point, Hitler studied, admired, and emulated US policy towards Indians in his march East. Difference is Hitler lost, and Californians won.
When my daughter watched this, she was so shocked and upset. She was writing about the gold rush, and decided to use this information in her book. She thanks you for sharing this and is furious at the white settlers.
I hope she went and found sources instead of quoting this leftist rag.
I would hope you're a better parent than that although the fact you showed her this video says otherwise.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 I stop watching this after story of guns and weapons to kill native Americans such of BS, even in this days without gun nobody can walk even three streets if everyone around know he is gold miner maybe with sack full of gold, where is gold there is robbery, where is robbery there are weapons to protect gold, good luck to digging gold in middle of nowhere without gun and knife.
I'm shocked like your daughter and i'm also using this to a writing about natives.
Congratulations. You've brainwashed your child with communist propaganda.
That’s racist
As a Black person, this video was sad. This made me mad. Some white people complain about freedom. Blacks brown and American Native Indians is still fighting for their freedom. I am glad this video was made. It is good to know about history bad or good. I will be showing this to my grandchildren. Please make more. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you
Same.
When you compare what native Americans went through modern day blacks don’t have much to complain about. Civil rights happened almost 50 years ago ! No reason for 4 generations of people to stay in the projects. If my mom can get out after one generation so can they! Not to mention I’m Italian American and my family was treated like TRASH when we came over here in the early 1900s AFTER slavery. So the constant speculation that ALL “wypipo” come from slave masters is just as ludicrous as saying all black people come from slaves. It’s just NOT true!
Yep, this is why you can't trust trumpies, they will cry out in pain as they punch you in the face
@@tula1433 Blacks have every right to complain. These people have land and money and sit around doing drugs and drinking all day on the reservation still complaining about land they lost over 400 years ago. They have nothing to complain about this want their land originally as they came from Siberia they were compensated Blacks weren’t.
You are not fighting for your freedom if you're a black American you're just as free as anyone else.
And the modern day slave trade was started by black Muslim Africans in North Africa who were taught by Muslims that God allows Muslims to enslave non Muslims.
That's how the modern antebellum slave trade was started, by black Muslims in North Africa.
Jayden Lim is one intelligent, brave beautiful soul. She is proud of her heritage and she is willing to fight to be heard! Love people like her who doesn’t care of government actions as long as she is heard and her point taken. Much respect for you Jayden Lim I have your back
Ok you are over compensating, ease your white guilt
@@skipfluck4299 It's interesting that they only mentioned the younger woman, and not her "almost-white" mother..
*"Families starved on the meager rations they provided, only four cups of wheat a day for a family. When one young man asked for more wheat for his sick mother, Stone reportedly killed him."*
Those two murderers were cold hearted and sick in the head!
Look up "genocide at round valley " or watch "the last of his tribe".
When I was in High School...RENO High School...we had a new History teacher. And when we came to the "Indian Wars" chapter, I opened my book and on the very first page of the chapter it stated that Sitting Bull led the attack on Custer. I stood up in class and threw my book on the floor, then told the teacher this book was a bunch of crap. The teacher came over to me and very diplomatically said "What makes you think that?" I angrily told her that Sitting Bull wasnt even in that battle because he was up on a mountain top somewhere praying for the warriors at Little Big Horn to be victorious. She surprisingly said to me "Can you bring in something that can collaborate what you are saying??"
I said sure I can, I will bring in a copy of the book .'BURY MY HEART at WOUNDED KNEE. So I did. And that teacher ended up giving me an A- for that class and didnt even punish me for vandalizing the textbook. Ofcourse everyone else in my class was angry that I didnt get punished for my actions...Reno High back then was about 97% white. I was so proud of that A-, and I will never forget that teacher either. The only open minded teacher at that school.
I sincerely hope our HISTORY books will FINALLY get completely revised so they can contain the authentic history of our country.
But I doubt it.
The wise old saying..."He who tells the Story...RULES THE WORLD!
An absolute FACT.
I had no idea this happened in California and I'm currently in college currently taking US history. It's insane how many Indians died in this short period. People always downplay all these crimes by making excuses like "oh it was mostly diseases that killed them" or "well natives were enslaving and killing each other forever, it wasn't that bad". But this is truly sick, there's no excuse for it.
@@AsiaMinor12 These aren’t really excuses because it’s true that Natuves brutalized each other, but it still was pretty bad, but I wouldn’t say it was more bad because as I mentioned pretty much everyone was being bad in this time period. Admitting the natives were also and doesn’t take away from their hardships. When looking at history you have to tell the full story.
I had no clue this happened in my great state. It's about TIME the state of California ACKNOWLEDGE the atrocities, locate the remains, and provide proper burials for those who suffered.
Sure, as soon as the natives admit to the genocides they carried out against other tribes. Nobody here was an angel.
Free California from European tyranny
@@nobodyspecial4702 Don’t even try to downplay Native Americans like that. Sure they fought each other, but at least the men didn’t come over and r*pe every woman like the white men did, killed almost ever man, r*ped and killed children, took land that wasn’t theirs, lied, stole, and the list can go on and on. Native Americans also didn’t use African-American slaves teeth, mass lynchings, Jim Crow laws, segregation and like I said I can go on and on. Have some respect for the land your standing on and the people that have been here for centuries because we were the first of this land, colonizer.
@@nobodyspecial4702 they never committed genocide the way European colonizers did. Historically no one has committed as much genocide as Europeans.
@@kupidrosalindavateri3965 You are so misinformed. Do you honestly think the tribes that exist today are the only ones who existed 500 years ago? Hardly. You didn't hear from the losers of the Indian wars because they ceased to exist. Europeans were into relocation, Natives were into extermination.
Thank you for creating and sharing this content on the history that's been hidden. Cleaning out the skeletons is part of the healing and reconciliation process.
They never taught this at my school. Funny since our school’s mascot at the time were the “Indians”.
It was never taught because this is Propaganda
My school mascot was the Dons.
My jaw dropped as I learn, mega genocide of indigenous Native Americans, and their population in Continents of America 500 yrs ago was around 15 millions, while European population in Europe was around 25 millions.
Today, Native Americans population is 15 million, while European population, in Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering 'ONE BILLION'! A sad truth.
I agree, about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners indigenous Native American people.
True, notorious global cardinal crimes Anglo West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why is notorious Colonization still lingering on, which makes sense.
@@imlovely6522 It's a jaw dropping mega genocide. For instance, 200 years ago here in the USA, around 3 million Germans came, and now there are 65 millions German-Americans; while 150 years ago, around 2 millions Irish came, and now there are 45 million Irish-Americans. While 500 years ago there were estimated to be 5 to 6 millions indigenous Native Americans in the USA, before Christopher Columbus arrived, today there are only around 2 million indigenous Native Americans survived.
Imagine this scenario, if Native American people cross the Atlantic, invade and Colonize Europe, and slaughter most Europeans, and put the remaining populations in tiny reservations, for 500 long years. How would Europeans feel about it? Think about it.
All they need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for generations.
Besides, indigenous Native Americans in Colonized lands of Anglo British, Spaniard and others are more of the same. Kill the indigenous Natives and whoever is left, marginalize them and create artificial poverty, once that poverty becomes crime and drinking, the media points to the poor and blames them to continue to stigmatize the 'other' community, scumbags, etc.
Amazing fact that Indigenous Natives had built such great civilizations as Mayan, Inca and Aztec without outside help, and all from the scratch, and all on their own, since they had been cut off from the rest of the world for ten of thousand of years. In other words, they actually are great and proud people.
Imagine what it would be like today if Native Americans had possessed some sort of nuclear weapons to defend themselves, and their beloved motherlands from invaders Colonizers? The answer is they would still have their own beloved motherlands, plus their population comparable to that of European population.
@@olefella7561 "We're still here.., we are not going anywhere." - Native Americans
May I ask, why don't they all have a family reunion on their very own land of jolly old Europe, and return the looted land to the original rightful owner, indigenous Native American people?
Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are evil things done, and benefited by evildoers.
All they, indigenous Native people need is their beloved motherlands back, the lands that their ancestors forebears had lived through thick and thin, endured through hardships and all for tens of thousands of years.
Remember, notorious centuries-long global cardinal crimes that the West had 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?
Why not let Native Americans have Europe, since Europeans have had both North & South America Continents; a fair deal?
Remember the saying, "A Man's Got To Do, What A Man's Got To Do".

Going to school, my teachers always said... "check your sources, who's writing this, what's their background?" Now as an adult, I should have fact checked the elementary/middle school/ high school history books. Internet can be mean, but videos like this make the internet worth it. RIP Natives of Cali
Thank you ro sharing this eye-opening stuff. Also gonna check out the book.
Be sure to apply that same logic to this video. I’m scratching my head in wonder at how only two men were able to enslave 100 men and however many women.
Natives are the most kindest people, and It hurts knowing how much pain and suffering they've been through. And its all been covered up.
@Don Smith Custer was a coward and deserved what he got, he wasn't the great fighter that settlers think he is, he attacked in the middle of the night or very early hours of the day, once Native people figured him out, they destroyed his ass gutless ass, just for your comment, I think I'll wear my "Custer wore arrow shirts" today.
That is such a broad generalization.
Native Americans owned black slaves the same as white people and treated them Jaír as bad. They also treated each other horribly and fought each other for resources, so I don’t know why you think they’re the “nicest”. If anything that’s a stereotype.
Go be friends with the natives in Pakistan.
Because natives are always nice.
Your racism and lack of education is shining thru loser.
Yeah, today. 150 years ago, when a native tribe went to war with another tribe for land, the losing tribe was exterminated. Be happy the white people didn't wage war the way the natives did or there wouldn't be any natives left at all.
Thank you for sharing this story on such a large media source.
Despite growing up attending California public schools I only learned about the bloody island massacre when I moved to Lake county and got curious about the plaque at the side of the road that I kept driving past. It's a grave injustice that this is not more prominent in historical curriculum.
im sitting here thinking the same thing..
You can find more truths by watching a movie put together by the Smithsonian called "the last of his tribe" and it shows the truth of what happened.
The Smithsonian is satanic
I have dozens more including a preceding event 'the Temescal massacre'

@EpsilonGoods First, I am a married, middle-aged white woman, mother of three, and an elementary schoolteacher (don't let my Coolio pic fool you, it's a play on words). But, you don't have to believe me; I don't really care.
Second, did I say I felt responsible? Where did I say that? I'll save you the trouble of looking for it - I never said I felt responsible, because I'm not responsible for anyone's actions but my own. You just projected that very stale trope on to my statement. That doesn't mean I can't feel sad or compassionate.
@EpsilonGoods: So, why are you defending white supremacy?
@AGDinCA: We can further the process of healing and continue to expand our understanding of our American history properly by renaming the San Francisco 49ers.
After the Pulse Nightclub shooting, it was being described as the "Worst mass shooting in US History". I wrote to the NPR Ombudsman that was not true, and listed a link, I believe from Wikipedia, listing the massacres of Native Americans over United States history. I eliminated every one that there was even a remote possibility of it being a military conflict, and was a slaughter of typically an entire village so it would have over 50 killings. I cannot remember how many there were, it was substantial.
In two days, evidently enough of us wrote that they inserted the term "modern", as in the worst mass shooting in modern US history. BBC changed their language to match that a day later. So slowly our children are learning about this history. I learned because I was am an avid History reader, and found about the Sand Creek Massacre during the Civil War. It was a WTF moment, and I started reconsidering and researching everything I had not been taught, even in College History.
King Philips War, or maybe it should be renamed the New England Genocide Campaign against the Seneca, should be taught in every High School US History. They have now found records of the sales of Native Americans taken "captive" during that conflict to the notoriously brutal Spanish Sugar Plantations in the Caribbean, where the New England slave merchants selling them complain the Spanish give the low prices, because the Spanish state the Indians die too quickly as slaves.
My kids have both learned to have a very critical view of history, and my daughter was offended about how none of the grade school Social Studies mentioned anything except a very sanitized version of US interactions with First Nations. They had a Thanksgiving stage show that was profoundly disturbing, with a "Good Indian" narrative. It is changing, though, as my 5th grade son actually has a teacher who has covered about how New England Colonial/First Nations interactions started deteriorating very quickly.
I remember when I was first reconsidering the typical "US Nationalism" history, and looked at all of the reservations in the US as a starting location. The history of the ethnic cleansing East of the Mississippi was well documented, but I was puzzled about the lack of them in California. Then I looked at the census data, and realized, just like the Nazis, there were a whole lot of people who simply "disappeared" during and after the Gold Rush. it's a sobering thought. I'm happy to see this video here providing a testament to that shameful period of US History.
I know that at wounded knee there was more killed then at pulse night club. I've heard people try to flip that and say that the natives were armed so it isn't the same as a mass shooting. Apples and oranges?? Idk, I do know the United States would love to forget what happened at wounded knee
100%
It’s definitely covered up. It’s well documented, but not well taught, that the literal orders against Native Peoples was “total surrender or total annihilation.”
It's absolutely not the same thing. Of course massacres in which there were dozens or hundreds of perpetrators will have more victims. The point is the Pulse shooter was one guy, who managed to kill so many.
1675 King Phillips War; Indian women and children were servants to whites, Indian men had had enough and war broke out all over New England, a planned attack by Indians against the whites.... Interesting that that war is called "King Phillips War." "King Phillip was an Indian man called "King Phillip" by the whites either because of the way he carried himself and/or the clothing he wore.
Yes, many wars on Indian villages, have not been reported and never will be becuse so mny Indians died of disease, were killed, or fled. Millions of voices censored...but their spirits live on.
I’ve always wondered where the Native Americans went in California. There are so many places named after tribes or settlers. The word “settlers” makes it sound like it was justified. That’s pretty sad.

Sorry I can’t leave, for your sake and my own. Unfortunately, the colonialist government owns me and my child (conceived without my consent, As I’m asexual), and they won’t let me or them go. maybe my baby will be brainwashed and never come home to me, but I would have taught them differently.
I cannot leave, but you can let it all out on me. I hear your pain, and it is valid. I wish I could leave, and I always think of what the land used to be, and what it would still be without colonialism bringing all of its death. Even when I try to work with nature in the garden, they hate it-she gives me so many beautiful things, then the colonialists just raze it, and charge me for it (I eat most of what grows). Im always standing up against the colonialists because I see who they are and what they’ve done/still do (I’m sorry that you think I’m one of them, but I’m wearing a skin that isn’t my own).
I’m sorry for your pain, and what has happened to your people. since it’s all that I can do, I am giving everything than I can to stand with The Rebuilders. I’ll be slightly more free after my baby turns 18, and we will see where I’ll go-either to help Native People with the rebuilding and stand against our shared abuser, or if my labor is not needed, I’ll go to the mountains where I belong. For now I’m just trying to educate myself, support native creators and businesses, and amplify the voices of my Native friends.
I am curious how you feel about the descendants of slaves being here? Since they were brought by force. I am and will be working for reparations as well. It’s a 2-part thing.
After that, I will be able to leave. 🌻 🌻 🌻

Heavy pans to all!
I myself am a very active gold miner and have been since my native american step grandfather taught me how to "wash gravel" at 8 or 9 years of age. Im surprised that he never mentioned anything about these shameful acts as he was huge on history. I have always been fascinated with native american culture solely because of him. Its no wonder he was always in trouble in his younger years, cant avoid it when its basically illegal just to be an Indian.
When you watch a report that only includes the opinions of two people, you should question just how accurate it is. Sure, anyone can claim that a massacre took place but when they tell you if the dead numbered between 10 to 800, that's a pretty good indicator that they don't really know what they're talking about.
I think many of the people who suffered through all of this didn’t talk about it because it was painful. Also, I think there was some level of fear about talking about it. It’s the same for the people who came out of slavery. Some may have, certainly, but a lot of people seem to have just shut it out according to their descendants.
@@nobodyspecial4702 Even 10 people killed in an irrationally formed act of vengeance against an entire community is still incredibly noteworthy. Should they not mention it at all just because the perpetrators were not careful enough to record the death count? Later in the video, they literally said militia records show that the officially recorded death tolls in altercations were given rarely a number, and instead used descriptions like "an entire village, except a few children". Is it really not worth mentioning because the lives taken weren't considered valuable enough to be quantified?
@@ellep.6204 Are these two admitting to the people that were killed by Native Americans during the gold rush? Nope. Only the Natives killed matter to them. History from only one side is called "propaganda." Good propaganda provides enough information that it sounds believable, while bad propaganda leaves everything up to your imagination. Nobody disputes that Natives were killed but nobody disputes Natives did their share of killing too. Well, nobody except the producers of this video.
It is sad that some people in this country want to deny all these atrocities happened. They don't want to learn from history. They just don't want to "feel guilty" so their solution is to bury the truth.
Who is denying atrocities happened? and who is guilty? Should I feel guilty? or is that how you would like me to feel? Your last name would indicate that you have Spanish ancestors.. if so.... YOU guys were here first and didn't even mine most of the gold you came for, you guys just stole it from the natives... Man, how many natives did you all kill off? That really was atrocious!!! you should feel guilty and ashamed...😜
There’s nothing for me to feel guilty for. Being born in America as a white person doesn’t make me guilty of anything. The American government that keeps these things hidden is to blame and it’s safe to say most Americans hate the American government.
@@grimlygrim672 You have a very mature perspective about history. No one alive now should have to feel guilty about the atrocities our ancestors did. Those events should be taught in history so that we can learn from other people's mistakes.
@@derekeimer7758 Of course you shouldn't feel guilty. You had nothing to do with it. As a society we can learn fron the mistakes of the past. That's why the events presented in this video should not be deleted from the history books.
@@Nicksolo2369 no one alive now should feel guilty? Excuse you, but there are still people who grew up in racist households, there are still people alive today that literally went to segregated schools. The white settlers should have shame written on their grave tomb, and the children that carry on the hate should be exposed. Don't try to sweep it under the rug like all of this happened 1,000 years ago. No. Many of this happened 40 years ago where some states "didn't" allow for blacks/ or "others" to marry whites. Don't you dare sweep this under the rug as "well we can learn from it." No, do something about it. It's important that these voices get heard.
For way too long the truth of our people has been hidden white settlers and the Mexican Spanish settlers is a shameful story. As hard as it is to listen to it needs to be spoken. My ancestors are still weeping their story needs to come out to the open so we can begin to heal as a people that is my prayer
Yes it has to be told the truth will set the nation free spiritually
We sadly had to go through both colonizations of Spain and the French/British. Displacements all over and It’s very sad for some of our people to not even fully know our true cultures and what tribes they came from. They need to put the true story in every book and change up how the Americas were “ founded” by such colonizers, we have been here for centuries.
I am here listening. I weep for your ancestors, and for the land. As a guest on this land, I am humble to those who were here before. I live on Ute, Goshute, Shoshone, and Paiute Land. I hope to earn my place as a Native ally 💜

Something else I didn’t learn in school. What a surprise.
This is the primary reason I truly do not understand todays vehement European angst about Hitler and his legacy of killing so many Jews in WW2. Agreed: it was a horrible slaughter but it pales in comparison to what Europeans did to the Native Americans. My grandfather was Cherokee. I was taught about the Trail of Tears and the Cherokee being "forced" out of Georgia when gold was discovered there.
I guess Hitler and the Nazi movement is just still too fresh in the minds of most Europeans for them to breathe a mention of it aloud while what the Europeans did to the Native Americans is ancient history to them. Of course, out of sight, out of mind....the fact that the slaughter of Jews happened on European soil while the slaughter of American Indians occurred long ago in a distant land might have something to do with the memory block.
Wrong is still wrong no matter where or when it occurs.
My cousins are Miwok. They are from Tuolumne County Calif. The miners often murdered natives to steal native land to dig for gold, and for sport.😪 The state of California owes their native tribes big time. The state of California owes natives huge tracts of land and money for museums and education to all Native descendants.
I DEFINITELY want to see more from this program (Whitewashed). I'm taking a uni class on First People's Health & Practice here in Australia, and the similarities are horrifying. They nearly succeeded, colonisers. We can't let this legacy of suffering and tragedy go unpaid for, or forgotten.
Look up "genocide at round valley "
So, when it's paid for and the next generation learns about it like you are doing now, who pays them? And then when the generation that comes after, they will feel the same way, who pays them? And on, and on, and on, and on, and on. Are you really going to say OH nevermind that's been paid for already? Or should we just teach every generation to fixate on the past and expect payment for it so that everyone is forever indebted to everything that ever happened in the past? When 10 generations from now that generation realizes you decided to pay generations off to feel better about the past, they will feel like a victim of you unfairly leaving them nothing and then they will be a victim of your decisions. Since it's in the past, who will pay them for your decisions? And then the generation that follows. And on, and on, and on. How about we just leave the past in the past and stop pretending like anyone alive right now had anything to do with it. And just be good people right now.

Yeah I learned about this incident by randomly reading stuff on Wikipedia. I did not learn this in school. Of course we all knew that White settlers killed Natives but we rarely went into much detail about the specific massacres. We didn’t learn about California’s laws intended to reduce the Native population. I understand when people say you shouldn’t blame people today for historical events but you shouldn’t glorify people who committed those atrocities and name towns after them. It is also completely fine to teach children about things that actually happened in the place they live. No that is not “making them feel guilty” that’s just educating them.
Promoting the guilty to hide their sinful deeds. Sounds like something law enforcement still practices today.
Do you believe that these actions of Americans were worse than the treatment by the Spanish in California?
We can't learn to do better if we don't address how and why we ever want wrong. Schools cannot be the end of our history lessons. This US is so young, yet so little is actually learned about it in school.
Thank you for giving us the real history.
I will never get use to hearing the word rape, but its literally great to have such raw information. If we dont know how these people were treated just because of greedy white settlers we will never learn
Thank you for educating me. I never heard about the massacre at Clear Lake, CA. I should have known the atrocities committed against Native Americans would have been committed here as well.

You "literally" read it did you? Jesus Christ
@Jeremy Ramsey People who "literally read books" should be in institutions for the clinically insane.
A very high percentage of miners came from mexico, many Chinese, Africans, phillipinos, from all over the world. There are many books written on this event. One of my favorites is " in search of eldorado". Written in 1850 by a young east coast journalist. And of course the local tribes were abused, people were shot, claims were jumped. When you gather a mass of humanity and throw in gold there will be conflict.
True that. Check out the history of the building of the Panama Canal. Chinese traveled all that way just to die of malaria never seen by family again.sad.
And don't forget the vast majority Californians were previous inhabitants thus mostly hispanic. New incoming peoples were Sonoran, from Mexico
Actually a small percentage of participants were from the east coast. The Spanish Jesuit missions were in decay, and the "aborigines" were very well aware of the "newcomers" ....
The whites passed a law that none whites had to pay a $75.00 license fee to mine. That was a lot of money then and made it impossible to mine for the men who arrived from China, Italy, Spain, Mexico, South America etc. A resourcefull group, the Chinese, had trading skills like bookeeping. They found other ways to make a living by starting businesses like laundries and restaurants . Whites terrorised the minorities and even passed a law barring Chinese women from immigrating. Chinese men without women then, frequented bars and brothels which reinforced the white propaganda that Chinese they were not moral people. We still have people who profess yyo be Christian, moral people yet spread lies and propose evil on refugees and immigrants they don't respect.

Just so you know if it wasn’t Europeans it would have been someone else. Before Europe was a powerhouse it was the Ottoman Empire. Just blaming Europeans for what any racial group has done or would have done doesn’t change this.
European colonizers are to blame for the atrocities that they committed against indigenous people and they are rightfully being criticised for that. Hypothetical situations are irrelevant here.Stating such facts does not imply that any other group hasn't committed crimes; merely that what the Europeans did was on a larger scale and that the impact of such is still affecting indigenous groups today as in why they are a minority group in their own country.Such things do need to be talked about and commemorated so that people can learn from them.And if people are unnecessarily sensitive about the facts being taught, then that's their problem
@@dinamothupi996 "commemorated so that people can learn from them."

What a great video.
No matter how long a crime was committed, eventually it will come out to light. What a disappointment knowing the land was taken from innocent people. So the lands could be ran by thief’s and criminals; Nothing to be proud of.
How do you think the Native tribes acquired their lands? They didn't just find uninhabited land and decide to settle there. That opportunity ended about 10000 years ago. No, the tribes waged war on each other over the land and the losers, well, they ceased to exist in a not peaceful manner. Even while the whites were moving into the native lands, the natives still fought each other and to them genocide was war done right. Today they claim to be the victims of the whites, but the whites never wiped them out completely, being mainly content to simply move them out of the land they wanted to land they didn't want. It was far better for a tribe to lose to the US than it was to lose to another tribe. At least losing to the army meant a chance of simply being deported while losing to a tribe meant all the men dead, all the children enslaved and a 50-50 chance for the women to go either way.
