I read an account of a man that was captured along with 3 others by the Comanche. The Comanche’s did a war dance when they returned to camp, some of the warriors had a knife and tomahawk in each hand, 2 of the men were scalped, spoils of war, and then cut up with spears and knives and then later hacked to death and cut up. The other 2 men were released 2 years later. This war dance is on point.

My late bio-grandfather was full blooded Cherokee, he actually for most of his youth had a deep hatred for white people. When he met my grandmother and had my dad that began to change and when I was born he apparently joked saying "oh no, he's white." I never really met him, everything I know is what I've been told, he apparently asked my dad to teach me or make sure I learn about, Cherokee culture. But seriously? That's his reaction to my birth? "Oh no, he's white?" Lol Edit: upon learning more about the man, I don't not miss him specifically

Interesting observation, that was the first thing that crossed my mind, the "Rebel yell",You probably know how they digitally experimented with some original recordings, to truly reproduce how it must have sounded when a hundred or more Johnny Reb's were giving it. And it truly is blood curling, one of the most frightening unearthly things I ever heard, it even runs you like icy fingers down the spine when you listen to it from the comfort of your own living room. To keep your calm hearing this as a seventeen year old during Civil War in your first encounter with the Greycoats or as a white man, hunting alone out in the woods at the Indian frontier, knowing those red devils will take you apart limb by limb if they catch you alive, as a punishment for entering their hunting grounds I guess even John Wayne would get a little bit nervous, while feeling that classic "tickling of the scalp" If you hear this, you know one thing without a doubt, these guys are not fooling around, they 've come for serious business, they will kill me, me, who is loved by everyone, how is this possible, I've done nothing to them, how did I even get here, oGodoGodoGod, shit! No sir, I got no problem being "just an armchair general"/"keyboard warrior" far away from "the real thing" (wife comes in with a cold beer, guess she wants a kiss or something, kids are asleep, gotta leave ya now, boys.)

Haha, well that's because over 10,000 Native Americans faught alongside the rebels who were promised that their inherent rights would be respected and that the confederation wouldn't trespass on their lands. Funny thing is the U.S. also promised the same thing and had 20,000 warriors on their side. The sad part is that both sides new their promises were empty and basically lured the last remaining warriors of America into Americas bloodiest conflict that secured the freedom of slaves and ensured the demise of the Indian tribes who helped. In the end they were weakend by the war, then hunted down by the army that promised them peace.

This morning I found out I was native american, and I suddenly started yelling. I was trying to figure out why. Thanks for the help. Happy to be part of the community.

Cool to see the Cherokee take on double weapon skills, as well as getting a proper explanation of their war dance. I always thought that alot of native war dances didn't look like fighting movements and now I know why! They are tracking movements instead...

At 1:54 the singer seems to be singing the next note a quarter-tone down. Half a semitone. Had anyone else heard quarter-tone intervals in Native music? I attended a folk festival where Natives shared an ancient and sacred pantomine of the hunting/dressing of a deer, and the performer sang in a Native language (not vocables). The scales and intervals were unlike any I had heard before, even at Pow Pows I had attended (I am not Native American). Those of us who witnessed this performance were spellbound by the sheer art of it, and the reverence for nature conveyed by it. Perhaps because we had been respectful of their other musical performances, they saw fit to share this with us. I think we all felt honored to have been given just a glimpse of Native culture generally reserved only for those directly a part of their society.

I got Cherokee ancestry on both sides of my family, and during the civil war, they fought for the confederacy along with my white confederate ancestors. The Cherokee Indians, who sided with the Confederates, taught the southern soldiers what is known as the “rebel yell”.

If you heard that 3 cadence war scream at the start, then odds are, you weren't in the line for healing. When large numbers of people do it simultaneously (instead of just one or two), it is very dissonant and un-nerving. Side note: the Yah Yaaayyy Yeww - or Yippie Ka Yay -- was picked up by Europeans in the South and became the confederate rebel yell from Virginia to Texas. The "Last of the Mohicans battle" and "What the rebel yell sounded like" are quite nerve wracking

I had ancestors who were both colonial soldiers and native warriors. They may have hated each other but at least they respected each other as warriors

The war cry start with a roller coaster ride, with lots of excited shouting. Then comes a smooth beat while they look for that contact lens they dropped. They find the contact lens and exclaim go WOOO, then they find out dinners ready and go WOO again. After dinner they get a new high score on beat saber and go WOO once more.
