I grew up in Grand Ronde beautiful place. Very blessed to have been able to be apart of many ceremonies. My grandpa worked at Sprite Mountain.

🎉 base camp near there we don't.

Columbus was a lie

It’s so wrong for the civilized court system to say that Indigenous history is hearsay just because it is taught orally. Just another way to hold back the indigenous bands and tribes.

I went on Ancestry wondering where my bloodline was when Jesus was born. As a native Oregon it was right here where I still am trying to live. My 5th great grandfather was chief Peopeomoxmox. 🙂 I guess that means Oregon area has the deepest roots of my tree.😊

Native pride nation wide yo yeeeeeeeee sheesh 💯

My name is les jones my 3X grandmother was Wel-Suni she was tututni During the Rouge River wars I don't know if she was stolen or given..the Chetco Indian chief Chetco Ben wound up with her. Chetco Ben gave her as a peace offering to Thomas Van pelt to stop the Genocide. She's writen down as Chetco Indian. She is part of the Silitez indian tribe. I need..NOT WANT I NEED TO TALK AN ELDER ABOUT THIS...I can prove all of this for enrollment what I'm missing is her enrollment number...I'm not after bennifits or money. I need what has been missing in my sole for 62 years to be back with my people. Can anyone help.. If an elder sees this please contact me asap

I'm Native American Lakota these white colonizers occupying so-called "America" will soon be a minority in 2054, same goes for the illegitimate state of "Canada" in 2036. Make America Great Again? No. Make Turtle Island Indigenous Again? Yes. 🐢🏝

I’m proud to be Klamath tribe the struggle we survived only made us stronger

"Kill da Indian, save da man". Don't make sense. We Cannot Run away from wese are.

I'm not so sure if God approves of genocide. Perhaps when hunting and fishing goes back to its overabundance and openness the controll of indigenous people will stop. Sorry my ancestors are killing the planet. There's no fish in my rivers that weren't put there. There's no land that is eviction free. If you have a heart of gold, don't tell others.

I did not know about the Donation Claims Act, and the process of how it happened here, in Oregon. This is an excellent video.

What I would like to know are of the stories of Sasquatch/Bigfoot on the Oregon coast and how the Native Indians handled their existence and did they have troublers??

How long have these people been in the United States?

They look like they are mostly. white People... What percentage do you have to be for you to be recognized as a member of the Tribe? Is it 25% ? Why are they all White?

It is amazing for people to go from the Stone Age to modern civilization in 150 years. With only oral stories/mythology to go off of the claim of being here since "time immemorial" is bold to say the least.

Africans was raped by native Americans so which native Americans have Africans in their DNA trying to trace it in California African kidnapped in America native American heritage

I would like too see American Indians tribes make a movie 🎬 about the Indian game lacrosse. And who the they made the gears and the fights. With the rules broken .

I really appreciate your efforts. But, please stop referring to indigenous people as "Indians" or "Native Americans" as this land was not referred to as "America" before the settlers arrived. Thank you and much respect to you.

I was born and raised in Coos Bay. I’ve always felt a deep, spiritual connection with the land on the Oregon coast- specifically in the Coos county area. I believe that it is a kind of paradise that will remain long after our capitalistic society collapses.

Chief Ken Tanner....hey cousin

I miss west central , Salem Oregon,Ken P.

This child not here who will receive my tribe we give you gift and go back to our side

Cedarwood is fine but sage they hate Thanksgiving was the time when who made a mistake

We ain't little no more that was foster care everybody was in one house

yeah always a day late and a dollar short always after the fact always after always late

When ever I research the Indians I cry cry cry when I think of how they were genocide raped murdered out of all the wars that hurts me the most the Indians they knew how to connect with the land

You guys the tribes they're on the coast of Oregon from Alaska are one of the 12 lost tribes of the children of Israel and if you don't believe me go to the Cleveland Museum in Ohio

Thank you for sharing this beautiful documentary. Our little school from Corvallis attended the celebration for the Siletz reinstatement celebration when my kids were young - such a honor - and so touching! - I am also a great grandchild of colonizers - I have my grandmother Mary's tattered Chinook jargon dictionary (she was born in Goldendale in 1881) - and my folks raised me with respect for the people of Warm Springs and other natives. My cousin Connie Bennett wrote about Oregon's to the S Alesea reservation trail of tears in her play Amanda Transcending, which was produced at Willamette U in the summer of 2019. The generosity of the people of Grand Ronde benefits many in the Willamette Valley, sharing culture and donating to local charities. In 2021, when they received extra doses of the vaccine, offered them to those in the surrounding community! I hope for respect and equity for the first peoples 🙏

In no way am I discounting your feelings about the history of your people, sir. Yet, at a certain point, this world will be in complete chaos until our Creator takes up His people into glory. This includes every person alive or passed that sought and gave His life to our Savior, and Lord.

Thank you for sharing this history which is hidden from us. To much colonization and lack of truth of history that most people don’t know. Bless you my relatives.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽

I'm a proud member of the cow creek people and after our language and much of our history was nearly lost, I am grateful for my family representing one of our seven feathers and my great grandfather fighting the government to get us federally recognized!

TRIBES AROUND THE WORLD ARE DESTROYED BY WESTERN CIVILIZED ALL THEIR CRIMES THEY HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE IN MANY WAYS

Beloved family. Sacred OWL WOMAN Texas

You left out the fur trade and Hudson Bay company as well as other fur company which tied to the native peoples and history of the making of Oregon. Poor research!!

NOT GREAT. IT IS SO BIASED TOWARDS WHYTE GENOCIDE AND DOESNT SPEAK TO THE TRUTH OF TREATY BREAKERS.

Thank you I'm trying to learn about my tribe. Thank you for your help

RESPECT!!! Blessings for all NATIVE people 💕🇵🇱

What is the correct pronunciation for Ahantchuyuk ?

Beautifully done! But saddened by the absolute shameful history of White European greed. I recently purchased over a dozen acres of land along an Oregon river and I was able to trace the land’s “ownership” back to the mid-1850’s. However, I would love to learn more of the historically indigenous tribes of the Coos Bay region. Any assistance or guidance on other information resources would be greatly appreciated!

All the lands should be retuned to the original tribes

I WELCOME THE DAY WHEN YOUR HISTORY IS. TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS . I KNOW THEY DONT BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID WOULD EMBARRASS THEM EVEN MORE BECAUSE ITS STOLEN LAND AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE . I STAND WITH YOU AS I HAVE CHOCTAW BLOOD IN OUR FAMILY.

Your hard work is appreciated. The more I learn the better.

3-19-21 grateful I can tap a maple tree and drink sweet water

MEANWHILE. Keep fighting, fight the fight. May your Gods bless you all.

How do they know they are the first people? Humans have been on the earth a very very long time. The indians have been here ten+ thousands of years. There is no way to know that earlier people didn't come and go... maybe several times... but no trace has been found. Let's not be presumptuous.

Sad to see what has been done to your people.
