Can you do a video explaining native Americans and Hawaii people and how they were treated by the Americans?

[@RSB2020]

Sarah Vowel has a great book on Hawaii’s history titled Unfamiliar Fishes

[@surprisinglyblank2392]

It's interesting stuff. There are a lot of different topics to explore but here is a few to whet your appetite: *Indian schools. Prior to WWII American Indian children were not allowed in general schools. Instead they were sent to Indian boarding schools. These places were often poorly funded, with little oversight that allowed for abuse. Most schools forbid students from speaking their native tongue, wearing native dress, and the education, especially in the first decades of the program, focused on menial labor for a career path. Also some eugenics shit happened. Despite the main intention of the program being to erase Native American culture, some unexpected positive things came from it. In the 1910's many of these schools had sports teams that did very well nationally (which I think might have influenced so many later sports teams having names related to Native Americans, but I can't confirm it). It brought people from different tribes together and served as early networking for later civil rights groups. Canada also had these boarding schools. *Occupation of Alcatraz Island. The American Indian Civil Rights is composed of dozens of key events, but one of the flashiest was the 1969-1971 occupation of Alcatraz Island. At this time the prison was no longer running. To increase public awareness of the effects of the Indian Termination Policies and other plights, a protest group that at its peak was several hundred took up residence on the island. *The Leprosy colony on Kalaupapa, Hawaii. Due to American laws about leprosy/Hansen's disease that Hawaii inherited after colonization, people with leprosy were exiled to the remote island of Kalaupapa for over a hundred years. Hansen's disease can be disfiguring, but it has a low transmission rate and death toll. Despite this over 8,000 people were sent away without supplies like the most passive aggressive death sentence. The colony was closed in 1969. You can visit the site of the village at the National Park on the island. Hope you found any of that interesting. If you have anything to add or another topic you think is absorbing, let me know.

[@Tudomummeum]

Yeah. I already know a lot about the atrocities of the 19th century against the mainland tribes during the expansion West, but I'd like to know more about the historical lead-up to how native peoples were admitted to US citizenship in the 1920s. And I don't know much at all about the developing American period in Hawaii. Like how did they not get stuck in the same situation as Puerto Rico or other US island territories where they're just a territory and couldn't vote, etc? You always explain things clearly on this channel and it'd be cool to hear you expand on those topics or at least recommend some sources for our own research.

Another great episode. One of the terms that annoys me is that women were "allowed" to vote. It's so patronizing, isn't it? I have read that, before universal suffrage, women often voted in elections deemed to be of particular interest. Examples included school boards because teachers were often women. One other peculiarity is that in its early days New Jersey had neglected to have restrictions on voting rights. In other words, it had not forbade women and ethnic minorities from voting. It is not known if any people took advantage of this loophole before the other States "suggested" that New Jersey fall in line. As I recall I saw about these two issues in the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum in Chicago several years ago.

[@willythemailboy2]

@Corona Pyrrhus Another issue not mentioned in the video: the women at Seneca Falls who opposed voting rights did so because, for men, it came at the cost of being forced into military service when necessary. Women managed to get the vote without that responsibility. Seneca Falls is also one of the early origins of the tender years doctrine, which gives women default custody of children during divorce. Before that it was generally whichever parent could best afford to raise the kids, which in the days before legally mandated child support was typically the father.

[@alreadyblack3341]

Everything is earned through blood and toil. So yes, "allowed" is the correct term. Unless there was some revolution from an entirely female demographic I am missing. As well, Men did give them the right to vote, considering, you know, they had to vote in a complex process to create the 19th amendment?

[@alreadyblack3341]

@kshiftkometh Good thing the UK and the US aren't Democracies, then.

[@kendall452]

Unfortunately, women needed men to allow them to vote as men were the ones in power and had to be on board with it. The sad truth is No law can get passed without the people in power changing whatever law it is

[@gregmcclellan8090]

Helen Keller would be a really interesting topic for an episode. She's invoked today to teach people that you can overcome any odds if you just try hard enough, when in reality she argued for the opposite. Not everyone can overcome their circumstances, and she recognized the only reason she was able to was her parents' wealth and her own privilege. Ironic that we celebrate her for learning to speak but nobody discusses what she actually said.

[@zellfaze]

Hellen Keller was based. Anyone reading this who only knows about her from her being blind and deaf, should really go read her Wikipedia article, like right now. Some highlights: She was a suffragette, she was a member of the IWW, she was part of the peace movement, she was a socialist who supported Eugene Debbs for president, she wrote like 10+ books, and she wrote this in 1929: "I do not pretend that I know the whole solution of the world's problems, but I am burdened with a Puritanical sense of obligation to set the world to rights. I feel responsible for many enterprises that are not really my business at all, but many times I have kept silence on issues that interested me deeply through the fear that others would be blamed for my opinions. I have never been willing to believe that human nature cannot be changed; but even if it cannot, I am sure it can be curbed and led into channels of usefulness. I believe that life, not wealth, is the aim of existence - life including all its attributes of love, happiness, and joyful labour. I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system, but even if I am wrong I believe that truth can lose nothing by agitation but may gain all."

[@cockeyedoptimista]

@@zellfaze "Helen Keller was based": I honestly don't understand that sentence. Really. Can you explain?

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Helen Keller's family was not particularly wealthy.

[@gregmcclellan8090]

​@@cockeyedoptimista "Not particularly wealthy" is pretty relative. Her family owned a cotton plantation & her father ran a newspaper, so they weren't particularly poor either. Point being they had enough money to hire Anne Sullivan full time & isolate her & Helen in their own cabin on the property to focus on her studies. Had they not been able to do that, we might not know Helen Keller's name. Or in her own words: "I had once believed that we were masters of our fate - that we could mould our lives into any form we pleased. . . . I had overcome deafness and blindness sufficiently to be happy, and I supposed that anyone could come out victorious if he threw himself valiantly into life's struggle. But as I went more and more about the country I learned that I had spoken with assurance on a subject I knew little about. I forgot that I owed my success partly to the advantages of my birth and environment. . . . Now, however, I learned that the power to rise in the world is not within the reach of everyone."

[@flymypg]

I was the second male student engineer on my campus to join our new chapter of SWE, the Society of Women Engineers. I heard all the jokes that I was doing it because at least there I could find women who might talk to me. The real reason was simple diversity. I started college after 6 years in the US Navy during which I saw the wind-down from Viet Nam (two words back then), the immense efforts to end racism in all services, and the initial introduction of women into ever more military roles. The simple truth was **my** life got better with each step forward. Sure, my heart was in the right place politically, but my dedication and commitment to action increased as I saw the positive results for myself. I believe we all obtain similar benefits. Unfortunately, way too many still attribute them to anything but improved diversity.

Thank you for another informative episode! There was one big omission, though: Utah passed women's suffrage in 1870, which was 13 years before Colorado, and only 2 months after Wyoming. Moreover, because Utah held two elections before Wyoming, Utah women were the first women to cast ballots in the United States after the start of the suffrage movement! That's a really big deal that should be celebrated.

[@susanl.enderly1658]

The Letter that changed history was addressed to 24 year old Harry T. Burn (R) Election of McMinn County, Tennessee and he voted "Aye" which helped pass the 19th Amendment -- In the 1920 Election 9 million women voted for the 1st time in US History... They gave Warren G. Harding, a Republican, a landslide victory over Cox. Mostly because Harding supported the 19th Amendment movement while he was a Senator in Ohio and it was part of his platform as a Presidential Candidate. Thank goodness! Weird Fact: In NJ, Women & Freed Slaves could vote from 1776 to 1807 when the state's constitution was "reinterpreted" and banned both from voting. -- Only to reward it back on February 9, 1920... being one of the 36 states needed to pass the 19th Amendment. 🌻

Its so inspiring to know how far we have come and how for granted we take our rights that were so painfully fought for by amazing women who dared to stand up against the patriarchy yet we have to keep fighting to maintain and gain more rights for women and all indigenous peoples of the world. Thank you for this!!🤗🙏❤

[@alreadyblack3341]

If the patriarchy really existed, you wouldn't have the right to vote. The entirety of the counsel who created the 19th amendment, were men, who made the decision from the perspective of men. If that isn't enough to disuade your History revisionism, I do not know what is.

[@lkjh3336]

There was no fight. It wasn't painful. Men literally proposed the idea to women and then a hand full marched. 3/4 vote by Congress.

It was a decisive victory, and the split among Democrats and Republicans was staggering. In all, over 200 Republicans voted in favor of the 19th Amendment, while only 102 Democrats voted alongside them. Subsequently, on June 4, 1919, the 19th Amendment passed the Senate by a vote of 56 to 25.

Very interesting Danielle as always. ⭐️🌈 Maybe a 7th point? In some jurisdictions I believe *widows* who owned property could vote. And that right was gradually removed. So in those places it was re-enfranchisement, just as it was for African Americans. Any information? I’m pretty sure that “widow suffrage” existed here in Quebec. (Maybe it was only during the time of New France?) Shamefully though Quebec women were among the last women get full suffrage at the provincial and municipal levels in 1940! Canadian women could vote in federal elections by 1918.
