Tom, thank you so much for doing this video! Last year you took my wife & I on a tour and I had amazing conversations with you about our perspective as Modern Day native Americans!! We're both Navajo my wife and I... and we loved this video and the work you put in to tell these historical points that aren't always mentioned in history books!! Thank you again for telling our story from a very accurate and respectful way in this video!! AHO' Nizhoni!!' Ahe'hee!!! From your friends from Navajoland!!

This is SO important. Thank you so much Tom. People need to know about this, especially with Indigenous Peoples Day coming up🙌🏾‼️

It's very sad the brutality that was inflicted on the Native Indians! Thanks for the tour.

Tom, good tour of some of the areas that the Native Americans who settled in Manhattan way before the colonist arrived. Reading the Russel Shorto book “The Island at the Center of the World” definitely has enlightened my understanding of how the Dutch were so important in the development of Manhattan and the surrounding area. Thanks

Your best one yet my guy! More native American history

Tommy D, excellent video! Did you know that the word Manhattan comes from the Lenape word "Manahatta" meaning island of many hills! Good work man!

Loving it Tom. Native blood ❤

I greatly appreciate that you acknowledged how the concept of ownership didn’t exist to the indigenous people of this land. I’m pretty sure they didn’t take that payment thinking they were gonna be forced off the land while these folks destroyed the flora fauna around them

I'm coming to NYC next week and I belong to the Apache/ Kiowa Tribe!

Great videos you have always wanted to go to new York I'm from st Louis mo

can't believe i discover your channel 2 weeks after I return from NYC 😁

Awesome you’re focusing on this topic, looking forward to watching

Lots of wild turkeys and deer on Staten Island. We are still part of NYC.

Had anyone ever ate Native American Tacos! Frybread

These videos just keep getting better and better. Thanks, Tom!

Enjoyed the video Tom 🙂👍

I enjoy learning about the history of New York from your videos. Such beautiful buildings and I loved seeing the frisky doggies having so much joy.

I like how you hold your narrative amongst the mundane

I love the nuggets of comedy gold meshed with the History of NYC! Look forward to all your videos!

I really like you the way you can remember all the information I watch you a lot

We were taught that before we got there the natives lived there. We were never taught that Dutch monsters massacred so many native women and children. That shocked me just now, and NOT proud of that part of history. Really makes me sad and angry. Because that is not how I am, and how I wanted things to go. Those poor people. Native Americans are such impressive people who had/have such an interesting way of living. If it were up to me we would've treated them with tons more respect, and live with them, not chasing them away and killing them 😭💔

I never knew of this native American history. I know many battles, skirmishes wiped out the early natives here in Mass esp in the 1600's. History, history history

Keep up doing the hard work and bring up and make the history still alive !

Hey ,Tom! What's up? Hanging out with ya as always and this video is awesome!!!

Just when you thought Tommy D couldn't get any better!!! Tommy is the best, anyone who disagrees can eat an acorn!

You got to have photographic memory man😂

Hey Tom, would love for you to do more of the dark side tours that you were doing this time last year. I absolutely loved them a was very intrigued by them. Another cool idea would be maybe do one about MTA and where it came from and how it started when it was known as the TA back in the day. Regardless, keep up the good work bro!

Syracuse native stuck in Rockies, that was fantastic. Ty

you make my day🤗❤️

Tom is awesome!

I love to finally be able to fill in the gaps I never learned, I appreciate your videos! Thank you

Noone does new York history like you....thanks so much

There was more than one migration from Asia. The earliest one could have been 25,000 years ago. The last 18,000 to 15,000 years ago. People have been in the NYC area for the last 12,000 years.

I’m 3 seconds in and I have already liked and commented to show support !! You address things pretty reasonably so I am eager to watch this show. People like to start at the Dutch and browse over Natives relatively quickly. NBD but I have premium and show support that way 🎉

Love these keep up the great job. 😊👍

Keep up the great work!

Love your videos and always learn something new!

Oooh this was a good one!

Loved that this came out on my birthday. Your vids are always so funny and informative

Thanks Tom for a very entertaining and interesting tour! This is my first time watching your videos and I think that now I'll be looking at many many more! I loved this tour and can't wait to go back to NYC and check out some of these spots.

Finally you're back!!!

Another great video Tom very interesting and entertaining 👍

He gets that confused. The Algonquin are a tribe, the Algonquian are a language group that includes the Lenape, the Mohegans, the Abenaki, The Wampanog, the Ojibwe, the Cree, and many others. In fact, a lot of what this guy says is *really* whitewashed.

Interesting- thanks. The Beringia Land Bridge hypothesis is only one of a few ideas explaining how Native Americans might have migrated to this hemisphere. Check out the Kelp Highway & Solutrean hypotheses. 🧐😁

@thebabedarla

Ай бұрын

I'm intrigued by the Solutrean hypothesis. I'm Lenape and Wyandot, and early colonists stated that Wyandot's skin tone ranged from "dark as an African" to "pale as an Englishman." The Solutrean hypothesis gives a possible explanation for that variation.

Watching this on Columbus Day feels right🤣🤣

Tom are you ever going to do videos in New Jersey?

🤪A place can make a happy face!

Whoa! Much appreciated. This was needed. I've learned a lot in this one video. Speaking of land not being a concept to Natives, you think I can convince my building managers that land ownership isn't real? Haha. Makes me wonder how it went from costing nothing to $100M apartments. It's a bit sad that a lot of the world was built based on killing, stealing, coercing and made up rules. Nobody ever went to jail for mass murder. And the audacity of calling the natives, savages, and to claim in every history book as "Discovery". How is it discovered if there were already 100,000 people living on the property? It's interesting how history is like the old school version of today's "media". Because the media transform your perception of anybody. I digress. But thanks again for this. Probably one of my favorites so far!

There were destroyed for a strategic reason of empire which is at its root, Satanic and continues to this day. God bless the dead. I didnt know about that massacre.

Hey Tom, thanks for this video. FYI, the word "bought" isn't quite the same as the word "purchase". Look up the 3rd meaninig of the word "purchase" in Webster's dictionary #KindlyWakeTheHellUp all! #LandBackNYC #LandbackMovement #Landback
