The Puget Sound War

[@ChrisJohnson-hk6es]

Wow, the more I learn about what happened to the natives, the more I realize how dark our history is. Awful!

[@scalnation3069]

Can you name another country in which the conquered people are afforded more rights and privilege than the conquers.

[@Dotson6996]

Great video, you got most of the native names correct but one commonly missed one you missed as well, Puyallup. When you pronounce it, its pew-al-up. I live in the Rainer Valley where allot of fighting happened. Its not really taught in school here and most people don't even know about it.

[@2Wheels1Compass]

That's been my goal! More people should know about these conflicts. I hate to see them get lost so making these videos was a huge part of keeping the memory alive.

[@Dotson6996]

@@2Wheels1Compass definitely! Thank again for these. You did a great job with them.

[@powasjington4262]

Also the way to pronounce “Puget” is Pew-jet

[@stevehirjak7824]

Also highlighted most of the Nisqually battles up near Snoqualmie pass on the map, which is odd, because the battle of Conner's Prairie was already marked on the map, but the animated arrow was 50 miles away into the Cascades instead of at Lake Tapps. Otherwise, pretty dang good. The highlighted area for the Nisqually Tribe and allies is actually the Snoqualmie Tribe area, which he points out were friendly to the US Army.

Thank you! I’m glad the government posthumously exonerated Chief Leschi in a historical court, but why couldn’t they also posthumously convict little gov Stevens of directing the murder of a great and innocent man?

I really wish northwest history got more attention. It’s really interesting

[@dillonhall4476]

Great video! one of the best resources i could find while researching The Puget Sound War i really appreciate it!!

[@2Wheels1Compass]

Thank you! It's an honor! I worked really hard on them and had no idea they would get this kind of attention.
