- A Documentary Short on the Iroquois Indian's lifestyle inside a longhouse created by Westbrook Shortell, Daniel Jackson, Dan Scharfenberger and Nicholas Varga.
Please leave comments on our video. It's important to us to know what you think of the work we did our last semester of College.
They smoked meat and fish. They kept the grains in sacks they hung from the ceiling most people died of illness not starving. Most camps for indians are where they noticed the animals would cross so the dear would walk through their area every day so they would just wait. Their streams could have stones put in them so the fish would have to go through gates with men and spears over them just waiting for that fish to swim through. Indians are very smart.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting.
Haudenosaunee still here! Turtle Clan.

To give the proper perspective to those really wishing to know of our history and traditions, it would, I believe, be confusing to some who may wonder who the Six Nations are in that Mr. Hill omitted mentioning that in 1722 (or thereabouts), the Tuscarora Nation from the region known as North Carolina, was admitted to the Iroquois Confederacy under the sponsorship of the Oneida Nation. The Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy thus became the Six Nations. Now I just had to add that as I am (of course-LOL, a Tuscarora.
N8VSON I was thinking the same thing.
I have Wonderful friends from Tuscarora and they r such wonderful people. ❤️
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! A marvelous expose for all to witness of a Culture systematically conceived by normal Human Beings.
It's sad af that alot of this stuff gets left out during school... im mikmaq I learned of my culture and heritage from my parents and my grandmother...I was never taught this stuff in school... my mikmaq class in high school had a white teacher who tried to tell me how to speak my language....it was language class with a little history of which the teacher knew basically nothing about...the day I got kicked out was the teacher trying to tell me how to say hi in my language I corrected her she corrected me of which she was wrong...we argued I got sent to the principal office...the vice principal knew me bc he lives 10 mins away...he told the principal his family is fluent and he's fluent in mikmaq and grew up learning the history from his father...my father is on the mikmaq grand council ... imthe principle called my dad and such and they deemed that I don't need to take mikmaq class due to knowing more than the teacher...I got the credits for those classes without even going to any classes... I aint racist or prodigious...but I am not gonna have a white person tell me how to speak my language I grew up learning my whole life...but if you wanna learn about my language by all means ask me and I'll try to answer it as best as I can
I thought Mikmaq spoke an Algonquin language not Iroquois?
If a long house represents peace, we need a long house across the whole country
No you don't know anything
dav grewal if u get jokes, then you know 😂
We got one he called Jesus Christ
Over hearts you mean.
Vincent J you are a idiot
Excellent piece. Also having the flute music playing as an undercurrent made me feel the cold outside and the warm life within the Longhouse
COLD AND HOT?
I've been searching for a film I viewed around 2008. I came across your video while I was searching. I really enjoyed your film.
loved the music to this fab video 👍🌟
peaceful music
Thank you thank you thank you so so much. This documentary gave me bunch of info about my research project for socials
My ggg or gg grandmother was full blooded Iroquois
I grew up on Seneca land. Always loved their history and culture :)
Thank you Lakota people for enduring. I am so sorry for all of this pain at the hands of my culture. Thank you for holding on to tradition. Your time is coming again soon, I feel it in my soul. Now is the time to stand up, be strong again. Turn to more old ways! Reject the B.I.A.! Reject the false monetary system! You are one of the true people, and this earth needs you! You can inspire other First Nations with your strength to stand up as well! Live with peace and love, we are one!
This was a really good description of the Iroquois people.It was a great help n writing my research paper.Many thanks!
Thank you for this information
I loved the song that was playing.
I think Native Americans are beautiful people, I enjoy hearing about their history, and their modern lifestyle, I also enjoy the pow wow, and dances.
Nice production, and commentary by Rick Hill. Prof. Snow as well.
Thank you you help me study and finish my school project
thanks this helps my home work.
"...the young men were very excited" says the young man in a bored monotone.
Ikr lmao
Wolf Clan, why you guys READY?
POV - you go to sides and are watching this for social studies
Should be in the school curriculum! I will help share their stories.
Great video
Well made video. I would very much like to learn more about the alliances formed during the Revolutionary War era.
Research Six Nation's history.
Great Film.....wonderfull......
Thank you Petra.
It's interesting how also the Wampanoag Natives build longhouses.
Common type of house out here in the east
Had to watch this for school
Amazing history
Nice I love it
I belong from a tribe from India that was known for its long house dwellings and some houses had over 200 people living together.
Awesome! Thanks for this. It's such a shame that as we gained knowledge and technology we lost our connection to reality.
Very thankful for the research and time dedicated to fall back on what we can to keep our ways alive. Nya:wëh gagwe:göh
Many nations under one roof, our peace makes us stronger... There's a lesson for all of North America.
I live in Rhode Island and there are Indian sites all over the forest where I live. I live in an area with over 700 acre to the south, about 100 to the north, 0 to the west because its the ocean, and over 13,000 acres to the east. This is a place where many have walked before. It's a place where countless people for 12,600 years as far as archaeological evidence goes, it's a place where countless people laughed and cried, lived and died. There names are forever lost but they were here. Show this place respect it's not ours. It's the land of the natives that wandered the dark grey clouded northern forests.
I'm studying this for my social studies I'm in 2nd grade ' _'
@@apppgappthepizzagamer1413 how did your social studies you used this for go?
These stories are fascinating. I would like to learn more about the Haudenosaunee people in the southern part of Ontario, namely Vienna Ontario which once was called Shrewsbury. We have a note on our museum door acknowledging that the Haudenosaunee people once occupied the area but that is it. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
So in N. York there are Indian sites were if you want you can sit in a forrest and wait for the Indians to come they come with skins on when they are alive and you are alive in body and you can exchange things like make something wood in front of them they watch then later they come back to see the future people and they learned what you made from wood and now have one of their own they show it to you. They teach you things to like how to make rain and gather clouds to make rain. Healing stuff
This is very interesting
dude, this is cool
Nice video, I teach middle school social studies and I would like to know if there are anymore like this but about different nations?
Maya's, Inca and Aztec, where all indigenous people's of the America's come from.
We played with a leather ball about 7 inches in Dim. And we threw it and kicked it and we would take teams and individuals and play all day it was a strengthing experience also we needed to out run and move any wild animals so we practiced to stay alive. It was mostly a mans game. LIke he said the women and elders and children were supposed to be near base of home secured by forrest with fenses we planted trees to make walls around our villages. We had a river close by and we fished also
That way of planting is called The Three Sisters: corn, beans, squash.
GREAT video, great information! But what about music? I am a teacher and wish to teach this year about Native American music, what information do you have about Iruquois music?
If you search roundys on the road into RUclips
That's called a round dance song there are many different round dance songs but that one is my favourite
The center was also considered the heart in the house. The main fire. I believe this plays into the six nations as well.
My former wife and I have grown the three sisters. Garden both spring and fall.
They forgot tuscarora we were added on
Alot of area to hunt, during winter it most of been time to look into the 🔥 fire for comfort during the cold winter's
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
WOW THATS PRETTY NOICE TO KNOW
LOL
BRUHMEME FROM MR.BEAST
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I've been curious about how the different tribes handled the winter months especially in the colder states.
amarreroon o & as A B anemv oo make ser addo no
@thoostorm4 Much love for your comment.
Cool
Their long houses remind me of viking long houses.
It’s probably convergent evolution.
I like the viedo
The Mohawk nation is a member of the Iroquois Confederacy.
My teacher sent me here lol

7 YEARS AGO?!
I later told the older shaman who was about 80 years old when I started that I would sit and look out over the land for hunting and then I would fly with the Eagles and look for food and watch for bears etc. He said OK I told him that we should hunt here were the food is and not send our hunters to the bear area he said we will tell the hunters. So later when I was older I flew with the eagles and guarded the camp and hunters and all the men would sit in a circle and think together.
At the time of this long house we only used in the Winter the little huts we used the rest of the year. I followed the hunters once as a 5 year old boy and they were hunting wooly Mammoths that were killing the men it was so scary I ran all the way home (could have been eaten by wild animals myself) and then I ran past the long house then the little houses on the way until I got to the end house still out of breath I told the shaman I didn't want to be a hunter he said you will be shaman
Dean Snow has done great research on the Haudenosaunee, but he is overly negative about their lifestyle. HIs own books (In Mohawk Country) report first-hand early-contact accounts of the Haudenosaunee that protray them as vigorous, well-fed, and happily engaged with the rigors of their lives. Also, it was the same for all Northern peoples. Average folks across te North from Siberia to Scandinavia to Britain and America all endured their climate with some effort, and sometimes there was famine (many recorded famines in Northern Europe from Dark Ages until New World crops entered Europe- even up to French Revolution and post-Russian Revolution). Lifespan in Europe was shorter than in the Americas at this time. Northern peoples are hardy, and many are very positive about the rigors of their lifestyle.
I never felt that Dr. Dean Snow was negative by any means about the Haudenosaunee people. He's a very articulate man who describes their way of life in a "straight to the point" manner. Maybe upon reading his book, you perceive him to be negative by his style of writing, but I can assure you that we never once cut anything out of the film intentionally because of his negativity towards the subject. We interviewed him for approximately 3 hours, enough film to produce a feature length documentary and felt honored he gave us the time, expertise and years of research on the Haudenosaunee people unflinchingly. He's definitely a proponent of keeping their history alive.
I have read almost everything he wrote. He has described the Iroquois men as "despressive," and the Iroquois as barely surviving in their environs, without comparing this to other cultures at the same time. That is inappropriate, and gives listeners and readers the wrong impression. Dean Snow has also been quoted on these points by people who wish to attack and denigrate Native Americans, so his misrepresentations have come to harm. That is why it is important for researchers not to make opinion statements in public, and not to color their research with interpretative fictions, because they are used by people of ill will to the greatest harm. For instance, the Church interpreted the Stigma of Ham as spplying to all non-Whites, on which basis millions of people were murdered in the name of the Lord. What moe harm can there be? Messages of opnion are extremely dangerous.
i have to agree with soulfoodvisnu. dean snow wasnt necessarily degrading the iroquois, as much as not giving credit to them, but i cant believe the natives only ate when food was fresh and had a ho-hum attitude when the weather wasnt right to hunt in. should i stay or should i go? come on! they had grocery stores too, however, they were also the growers, the transporters, the shelf stockers, and the cashiers. (not everything comes from walmart). has he ever slept under a buffalo robe? fur lined mittens would be as good if not better than any fleece today. in addition, nature(or GOD if you prefer) told the ppl what to do. all they had to do was look, listen and learn. leadership was a VERY sacred position that required much study and dedication(bar mitzvah anyone) and ur minerals would show by how well u could get the ppl thru an especially hard time.one did not have to be said leader to be a valuable member to the community. and it is a crying shame that this is not taught in school. i had no idea about the tragedy of the american indian UNTIL i was 30!!!!! and met my husband. there is also an audiobook(lies my teacher told me) that explains eurocentric attitude. and as for the smoke, i know in our area, cottonwoods and aspen do not smoke if they are seasoned and dry. most evergreen do, but i think the residents would know what was good. maybe they were trying to get the white man to leave?
+soulfoodvisnu I have to agree. The way he speaks about it gives me a vibe of him telling it as fantasy rather than reality.
Nyaweh for the history lesson
❤😊
THank you! I am researching the native population her in Northeast Ohio.
I would love to hear of your research. Ive always been very drawn. To the tribes. Of the ohio valley.
We are doing homework on the book of Children ofThe Longhouse.

loved it!

Now there are 37. I am currently working on own longhouse vid. and came looking for ideas but this is to literal, this is more of a vid that you would watch in a college class not something that is enjoyable to watch
Natasha, we made it while we were in college and our audience was intended to reach elementary / middle school children. Good luck with your film.
Speak for yourself, natasha. Documentary-style format along with reenactments are very enjoyable formats to watch for some of us who like seeing authentic landscapes, spokespeople and artifacts.
They definitely need the biggest long house in the us
I live in present day Seneca nation and how beautiful.
Montagnard jarai indigenous we have a long house too we live 4 to 5 family my parents and my mother sisters their husbands, children .
Good job and thx i love it 😊
Three sisters is a modern hippy projection everybody talks about but nobody ever tries implementing or people would see how concocted that make believe projection is.
this is not a video about Lakota people. This is a video made by and about the Haudenasaunee people (Iroquois).
there is a place in elyria ohio where you can do that as well..
No mention of White Pine?
How can I tell my children of the beauty of this way of life?
By not
By not this is stupid SCHOOL WHYYYY
this video is for school
Hello in 2020
I have to do resreash for homework
Is any body here from ep?
never ever go to Google earth and come pair 1930 america with 2012 its quite scary how it changes (8^(
Amazing Americans and how they lived without electricity and all the modern means.

I'm 11 too and now I'm about to turn 12
iriquois but mohawks were part of the Iroquois nation
my son is in elmentry and he wached this ☺
hi
Oh - BTW - The Producers did a very good job -
How come they haven't attempted a more comprehensive work on this or similar subject???
There are so few in RUclips - and available apparently.
We need documentaries with facts - b/c so many documentaries that are being factoried by Media for Advertising Profits and they are highly hollow and clearly inaccurate -
Why are so many historical subjects edited for the public - who's behind this and what is the desire to misinform the public about?
Example: not 1 mummy has ever been found in a Pyramid and the Great Pyramid was built with such precision that it can NOT be replicated today.
To ask an intelligent, educated mind, to believe the MS Archaeology version - is insulting and highly concerning.
Clearly we are NOT the 1st, advanced civilization upon this planet.
What happened to them?
I had a life in WA state (past life) and I was a Shaman and my families had walked a year out in all directions looking for other people and walked a year in without finding anyone except US. We had little round top huts we put in a row as well as a very long large house made out of wood with layers of wooden floors and seating and like storage in the walls (for insulations also) we slept on leather and furs and we all had several fire pits. I don't remember anyone going blind. Very similar
Love it but the pipe is too piercing.
lmao most ppl lose their vision towards the close of their life. i’m sure the screens aren’t much better
six nations? !
Yes. The Tuscarora people joined the Iroquois to become the 6th.
People have a recent interest in outdoor survival reality shows on TV now. These people lived like this for centuries, expert outdoor survivalist - maybe the best in the history of man. Their deep respect for nature to me, is their most endearing quality.
ok
Personally the longhouse would be more exciting to live in than the paleskin house of box.
I live in an Indian reserve area and I saw one with a musket and two kids with bows and aimed at my house but my dad shot them...
I HAT U DADY
He is a racist
gee, i wonder why its called a longhouse
casually stretchs across the entire globe* I don't know either!
who else came here because of school?.
I think one of the reasons for the downvotes is that you have a Haudonensee person speak-- but you talk about their ancient life like they're an extinct people.
HELP ME!!1!!!111!
....through PEACE?!....that thunder your hear is 30,000 Wyandot/Hurons spinning in their graves like turbines!!...hilarious....I have Mohawk ancestry by the way....
