I'm Ojibwe, we're one of the Indigenous nations of Canada. When I heard the story in the news about the Irish making a large donation to the Najavo Nation, it blew me away that a nation so far away would be so kind to a distant unknown native tribe in the middle of nowhere in America. I had no idea it was a thank you for a donation to the Irish people during the famine that forced many to emigrate from their homeland. When I researched more about the history of Ireland, I saw how they also suffered under centuries of colonialism just as we did. The Irish are an Indigenous people and a warrior culture as we are. I hope one day they can reclaim their historical identity, spirituality, and connection to the land which made the ancient Celts so strong. Respect.

One correction, the Celts did not all speak the same language. What unified the Celts was a family of similar Indo-European languages, not one unified language (similarly to their political and tribal makeup). For example, Irish Gaelic is different than Manx is different than Scots Gaelic.

Also all three of those are Goidelic languages that originated in Ireland, which are all far more similar to eachother than they are to any Brythonic language like Welsh or Breton.

Just goes to show how truly diverse Celtic languages were, they certainly, as you said, cannot be considered one language.

Also bronze isn't as strong as iron but it's a lot more durable and reusable, as well as far less arduous to forge with. The switch to iron after the bronze age collapse was actually largely seen as a downgrade by the ancient world.

Even besides these communities Celtic Culture has had a lasting effect on our modern Culture, for example it was the Celts who started Halloween. I feel like the lasting effects should be celebrated too! They didn’t just stay in Ireland and eventually die off after all!!!

Indeed. Boudicca the warrior queen is also one of the finest example of Celtic bravery and their love for freedom.

It would be so nice if some of the sources of this information were displayed on the bottom of the screen as the video played, or were in the captions 😊 thanks for the awesome video👍

Awesome and informative video

The celtic bard's singing got me choking on my tea.

The Celts were the creators of Halloween, but they called it Samhain

explanation and animation is fabulous

Amazing, thanks!

Me: Maybe I should go to sleep now Also me: Oooh, a new TED-Ed video!

Where's Portugal? It's always spain: "from turkey to Spain", "the conquest of Spain" instead of the Iberian penninsula

Completely agree! Also love the TEd`s videos and stuff

I love Celts, Asterix and Obelix were some of my favourite childhood heroes! (Gauls were actually a Celtic tribe).

I really like the Ogham on the stones (2:39). Tom Scott did an interesting video on it a while back.

I love this video is very pratic tank you

"Alexander had seen nothing like these tall, handsome warriors" *Shows one tall person and two midgets*

Actually it wasn't just Ireland that remained free of Roman rule. The Picts of Caledonia (Modern day Scotland) successfully repelled the Roman forces and retained their independence from Roman rule.

love this narrator the most

Love yr videos ❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️ you're a legend 💙❤️💙
