Period pieces, eye witness accounts and archaeology give you the best idea of what really happened. Modern times always engage in revisionist history and rewrite it as to be seen thru the lens of modern politics and under the assumption people back then were stupid/superstitious/and us modern ppl know better. They had good reason for feeling the way they did, and certainly knew more about their world and times than a modern purple haired history professor at a state sponsored college.

Enjoy your content as well as your storytelling. Not far from where I live in Cheyenne Wyoming is a rock formation, which was the site of a bloody battle crow and Blackfoot in the 1830s. I like how you switch from German accent to your regular storytelling voice to your narrative.

Cool should do one about The Crees Vs The Inuits as well as The Denes against The Inuits yeah.

Still the best channel! Thanks for awesome entertainment 🎉

Nice to catch this!

Pikunni (Blackfeet) youth Mountain Chief, later a very famous Chief, was age ~13 at the time of a massive battle vs the Cree - he is my 8th great grand uncle, it was his first battle and he reported he killed 12-15 himself, most by knife and tomahawk.

Say what you will about Hollywood movies, watching westerns while growing up I learned the names of many of the American Indian tribes. In a way, movies -bad as they were-brought these people to life.

I'm the exact opposite.

My grandfather is Creed/Blackfoot and a product of the treaty of the Cree and Blackfoot to join to fight the White Man. Though his parents married and had children(14), they were forbidden to live on or raise their children on EITHER tribe’s land or reservation. So they lived on a large farm in Iowa and taught their children very little of either Tribe. He also never knew any of his grandparents, only seeing his Blackfoot grandfather once in his entire life. Only his Blackfoot Uncle taught him anything of the Tribe and his history. He also had a couple Cree cousins that he knew that taught him some of his Cree history.

As a Cree,/blackfoot never knew my blood had a feud with each-other.

Another great episode and it underlines just how diverse and complicated the "west" was even before the white men arrived .

Yep. All that were here - in the Americas- were in deadly combat more frequently than you think. Humans have been doing this warfare against eAch other since there humans that left one area for another - in an effort to keep their families alive (find food and water).

Between 1497 til 1880 brutally was dished out in the most horrific way in the Americas. Mind boggling savagery that has never been covered in the movies. True hatred towards foe shown in the most unimaginable ways. Most folks these days never ponder the thought I am sure.

Intertribal? Just call it tribal! They been raiding each other long before we came here.

Is it Fort McKenrie or McKenzie? Lol. Jk. By the way, at 3:12, the man photographed with the beard is indeed Karl Bodmer, the Swiss-French “print-maker, etcher, lithographer, zinc-engraver, draftsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter”-what a résumé, dude, wow-but I have a hard time believing he was 24 in THAT picture. Maybe no pictures exist of him at that young age, around when the Battle of Fort McKenzie took place. Whatever. Like I know times were hard back then, but my GOD, not enough to look f*cking 30-50 years older than your actual age, in your 20’s. 😆

@@kenneth9874 In 1761 the Isaac Man/Mann Sr family (Scots-Dutch) moved from NY city to 'Still Water' in upstate NY, made recenty safe by the end of the F&I wars. Purchased land lot section from old Albany Dutch. Leased 120 acre lots to settlers who believed it worth while. Among the latter was a group of 'Yellow Church' enthuasiasts from witch burning Salem. Old Isaac was Col of the local militia in which his sons ages ca 13-20 served. Disaster struck when a cannal he was constructing for mill work together with a land swindle over land in Vermont bankrupted him. He had to sell his lots to the 'Yellow Church' congregation whose leaders by now proved themselves 'dodgy' characters. When the troubles began Old Isaac spoke out, he was arrested several times and was a minor celebrity because he claimed the right to 'Free Speach' that the revolting rebles claimed they stood for. Didn't help his case at all. Sent to various prisons till finally released after 2 years of cruel treatment and fled to Montreal with wife, leaving all property behind. Meanwhile the 'Yellow Church' leaders had become local leaders of the 'Commitees of Corespondence. Isaacs sons (including the 13 yr old) were arrested. Released at different times and went to Montreal with some extra ordinary adventures along the way. They fought as Loyalist Militia at Saratoga, lost and escaped back to Canada after that disaster. One (my favourite) a 'scout' was captured near Still Water - he was exchanged for a revolting Lt the day before his proposed execution. All remustered into the Royal Kings Regiment of NY province, famous for their raids in upstate NY for the rest of hostilities.
