You know, it's kinda make me sad that we have to make an entire video about them. If only they followed New Zealand's example and incorporated them into American society instead of forcing in these reservations. Im happy the Philippines is too far for the Spaniards to settle. Fun fact: they also used to call us Indians (Spanish: Indio) but it became discriminatory that it (and words like Indies) fell out of use.

Another important factor of US-Indigenous history to mention is the boarding school system. For around a century, indigenous children were forced to go to boarding schools where the US attempted to forcibly eradicate all aspects of Indigenous cultures. There was a lot of abuse and neglect, a lot of kids died. This era is why so many languages have so few speakers and also why so many Indigenous communities struggle with inter generational trauma

My immediate thought was "Hmm, we're coming to the end of the UN member states... what if after that, we started on a video for each of the 574 federally recognized Native American tribes?" Of course, that's entirely unreasonable, but maybe at least a few videos would be cool, outlining either the largest tribes or else grouping tribes together by like "Pacific Northwest tribes" vs "tribes of the Southwest Great Basin" or something like that. One thing I have a tough time understanding is the differences and diversity across different tribes, because clearly the umbrella category of "Native American" is not a monolith and yet largely my impressions of them are largely as a single block of people.

Once in 4th Grade about how they operated pre-colonization, and sometime in middle school where we learned about how they were treated once the settlers came in, from their agreements with Oglethorpe to their prejudice as minority groups(it was very depressing, I think I remember being physically brought to tears from studying that). Never really heard from someone from there, though. Or, at least ever talked to someone who I knew descended from them. So, we did learn about them here, academically at least, but I never got to actually see the reservations or anything.

Nice quick explanation. Knowing Better made a video some time ago, that goes into way more detail why this system is such a clusterfuck at times.

I’m in education, which has recently privileged me to attend a meeting w Gilbert Whiteduck and members of the Mohawk, Algonquin, and Schenectady tribes. We participated in a smudging ceremony with a fire fanned by an eagles feather and passed a talking stick around to talk about our lives, our ideas for education, or our relation to native life. The whole thing was rather eye opening. The teacher I work with presented a project we’re doing in which students from a upper-middle class elementary school collaborated with a nearby indigenous elementary school in creating a song together. The kids played, did activities, had lunch together, and took time to write lyrics in groups. The lyrics spoke of the tragedies of the past while also speaking about a brighter future once we sort the information. The meeting confirmed to me that we can teach the future generations the truth in what happened and other sensitive topics without making anyone feel bad or uncomfortable! The truth may be ugly but it’s the only thing that will set us free from it

I really like the video. Very cool. I am very interested in all your information and how much you covered. I look forward to check out more. Thank you

Duuude! Awesome knowledge here. I had a brainstorming with my friend about this topic last year (I was f curious about it) and here we are! Thanks, awesome video.

Awesome, man. I’m not indigenous, but I’ve always been interested in these groups. Glad you’ve covered this.

Miigwech for making this video!! I think it's really important to acknowledge that not all indigenous tribes were the same or even symbiotic in any way. A lot of people have this weird idea that all native peoples have one look and one combined story. My dad is Dakota and my mom is Ojibwe. They were married for 20 years and even they couldn't get along lmao (it's funny because haha enemy tribes) If you like frybread and are ever up north, you should try to find some bannock bread. It's bigger, thinner, and I think it's baked? It's not the same of even comparable to frybread, but it's really good and deserves a try! Sidenote: In some areas that are surrounded by reservations, you can find some signs written in different indigenous languages. I live in MN and a lot of our welcome or restroom signs are written in English and Ojibwe.

1:43 Archaeologists held on to the 10,000 years ago Beringia theory for the arrival of the first Americans for a long time, but there's now convincing evidence that people lived at sites like Monte Verde in Chile and Meadowcroft Rock Shelter in Pennsylvania closer to 20,000 years ago and likely long before then. Linguists noted a long time ago that 10k years wasn't a realistic time frame to develop the extreme linguistic diversity of the continents from a single migratory group. The KZread channel Ancient Americas has a fantastic video about it and other indigenous history topics.

2:01 One note is that there wasn’t an “ice bridge” connecting Asia and North America at the end of the Ice Age (Pleistocene Epoch), but a land bridge that different animals migrated across. This landmass connected both continents because of the lowering of sea level that was caused by glaciers and ice sheets all across the world during that time.

Here in Brasiil "indigenous" is usually the most accepted term

After more than half a decade of waiting, the USA episode is around the block :) Massive respect for you doing this series. I really wonder what will happen after Zimbabwe.

This may be your best one! I learned a lot! I love geography that's why i love you! But this one taught me! Thanks!

I like your attitude: Ask. Don't assume you already know or that one answer fits all. And don't assume that one person speaks for everybody.

You could do a whole episode just on the Native Californians, 'cause that's a whole 'nother ballgame. There are multiple dozens of tribes and sub-tribes. I live in the area of the Chumash people, whose language family is believed to be even older than the ones you mentioned, making them among the oldest inhabitants of the region.

Thank you for this great video. Nicely explained!

You know that we still need informative books about Native/indigenous Americans, which can answer questions like the ones you answered here. You gave a very good stream of tangible information. I want to hear more about all aspects of Native American history, culture, language, and life. That book you recommended would clearly be a good start.

Thanks for the information, I understand there is so much more. The entire history of the Native Americans is complicated.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the word Indian derived from the fact they where looking to reach India or the indies by sailing west instead east. Thus landing on the American continent and naming the indigenous people Indians because they where under the impression to have hit India / the indies.

Yes, they used word Indians to describe peoples of Indian peninsula long before they reached American continent and that's the reason the name stuck with them as well as they thought they reached India from another side. That was the whole point of funding Columbus expedition, to find shorter and faster route to India by going westwards in order to avoid wasting several months by circumnavigating whole African continent.

Love this video. I am part Native American from the Gros Ventre tribe (yes I know the translation of the name from French and they did name it). Our reservation is in Montana however it’s technically not our homeland. Our homeland is in present day Canada and when the border was established in the 1800s the Americans wouldn’t let us cross back into Canada

Sorry, Just FYI for anyone interested... I am Northwest Florida Mvskoke (Muscogee Creek), which is not on your map. During the Indian Removal act the mvskoke from as far away as "Little Tallasee" (near present-day Montgomery, Alabama) Joined with the Tribe in Pensacola, Florida where they remained with a group led by Osceola drawing the federal troops away from them down into the everglades and taking the name "Seminole". A lot happened between then and the 1940's and 1950's to try and become recognized, and finely in 1974, the State of Florida created the Northwest Florida Creek Indian Council under Florida Statute 285 to deal with Creek Indian issues, and in 1986 a treaty was finally signed and the Senate and the House of Representatives for the State of Florida passed concurrent Resolutions that recognized us as a tribe. Our land is not a reservation however, it is called "Tribal Land" and is composed of large areas of land privately purchased and shared among the tribe.

Hi Geography Now, I love your content it's very interesting and very educational 😀 that's why I subscribe 😃

Interesting content as always.

Hey, Geography Now, have you read the book 1491 about the pre-columbian americas, I'm almost finished with it and it's really good. Among many things, it talks about how the pre-columbian americas were actually descently densely populated, and a lot more densely populated than most people picture them or what is generally taught in schools.

OMG i recently got back into the native american algorithm and hearing BIA just brought back memories of my sociological qualitative research class. We partnered with the Nez Perce tribe in Idaho and man I knew some of the downfalls of the reservations due to socioeconomic and historical/political issues but seeing it in person, meeting/talking with the people, and THEN coupled with ALL the data given from the BIA site -- it really really opened my eyes. Also just being from the PNW - I feel like we have a decently strong culture of preserving our coastal tribes influence. Although I've never visited reservations outside of WA state and would love to visit those areas in Oklahoma, New England, New Mexico, Mississippi, etc. and see where we're lacking.

I have heard about reservations for Native Americans in America. Good that you explained. 👍. There are Navajo and Mohawk tribes. Any country having a tribe is best. In my country India there are lots of tribes but there is no reservation land for them. Tribals in India are found in all parts. But in your country USA there are specific locations for tribals.

Thanks for the useful info! Although there is apparently no official Native land in Virginia, there are still regions that hold many descendants from the same tribe, such as the Monacan tribe around Amherst. I used to deliver newspapers there, and on the few occasions that we met, they were always very nice to me.

Barbs, I’ve been a fan for probably about 6 years- since I was in college as a young/dumb geography major. I want to thank you for helping me get interested in the subject, and the great content you’ve provided. I was always curious how you would display the US eventually. As an American, I could not be more happy with how you represented us. The USA has done many wrongs, particularly to natives, African-Americans, etc. that you didn’t shy away from. I’m glad you gave the backstory on some of the people our country has historically forgot. We’re a nation of misfits, who often times seem like we hate each other. Again, don’t get me wrong, we have a million problems, but I’m happy to be here, and very grateful to be from here. I was always raised to do my best not judge, treat people how I’d want to be treated, and ultimately we’re all in this together. My parents always taught me no matter how we look or how we got here- we’re all Americans. I think you exemplified that. Thanks Barbs.

thank you for the rundown King 🙏

Thanks for the overview. I would suggest a deeper dive into some of the nations, but the selection process would take decades, no? PS. Like so many Usonians, even those of us with immigrant backgrounds, I have a story: my father was born in Comanche County on a reservation in a house built by members of the Kiowa nation. His father was in the US Army there. Like everything else with the People of the Land, it's a nuanced and difficult history.

Aho. I am Nakoda from the Fort Peck reservation in Montana/ Canda and wanted to bring another very important part of our culture. Sign language. Sign or plain language was the most common form of communication in between tribes especially those with language barriers. It was used in hunting, war communication, and hand games. It was even utilized in WWII trenches as a language no axis forces would understand. This is a very brief rundown of plain and urdge ppl to also research more
