[@Gloryglorycurtis]

Thank you Mr Madly for your time and dedication to a true discovery of American history!

[@Lanna51]

This should never be forgotten!

[@antonevelone1439]

Very well said and it needs to be recognized acknowledged and recorded into the history books and be taught in our schools, colleges, and universities…

Actual program material starts @13:15.

Truth and Reconciliation required for all that Prof. Madley speaks about.

[@Mike-01234]

The only way to reconcile is to return the land which was stolen from them and pay them millions of dollars is that something White Americans are willing to do nope so lets move on and accept what happend not forget it.

[@LewisC-ly4or]

I am for that, but the Anglos and northern europeans need to pay reparatiosn and return to northern europe!!

[@grayrachelle]

I am part native American I live in California but my ancestors are from the southwest specifically from Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, El Paso Texas, I feel the government needs to acknowledge what was done to our people admit to the genocide they carried out. It's terrible I can't even begin to express how this feels, knowing the government and its citizens wanted us to be exterminated. All the rape and mass murder they carried out assimilation, culture destruction and destruction of land. The United Snakes of America is what the government is.

“In 1850, California’s first governor, Peter Burnett, announced the state’s official position of genocide, ‘as the only solution to the Indian problem.’ The state funded both the bullets for the voluntary militia, and $10 to $25 for proof of executed Indians - scalps, heads, hands, or bodies.” “California’s first bond of $400,000 was issued in 1854, to fund the bounty on dead Indians and the costs of extermination. Also in 1850, the state passed a law, ironically named the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians, giving the state authority over Indians, including land settlements and denying even the federal government any trust role or authority to negotiate treaties” (Pico 2007).

this is important, and i think a lot more people would watch it if it werent for its unnecessary 12 minute intro. i only listened because i was on a very long drive, i would have found another video otherwise. maybe include "lecture starts at 12min" in the video description?

[@fellowtraveler620]

Video starts at 13:15.

[@jasonbrown1807]

Astonishing.

[@tec-jones5445]

Such a stain on American history. I know we as a nation must let go of what has happened in the past and not dwell on mistakes of our ancestors, which we can not change, but we must never forget at the same time, to avoid such devastation from ever happening again. As an American, every time I hear of this genocide, it sickens me to my very core.

[@strangelylookingperson]

Descendant of Nazi Germans says in former concentration camp to a Jewish person, whose ancestors where killed by Nazis: "We shouldn't dwell on these dark pages of our history and move on".

[@lukesheldon3599]

The story only gets darker the further down the rabbithole you wanna go...for instance when they killed these tribes they took the children that were too young to remember and tagged them and then dispersed them to various handlers usually as a reward to a certain psycholical profile . Their agenda is tied deep into the rise of psychology and basically the same institution this guy works for (he says it himself) 43:00 The irony or the audacity? These people have living ancestors but it is highly advantageous to the government to keep them in the dark.

[@canadiannuclearman]

Hollywood would never make a movie about it but they do make a movie about Schindler's List.

[@vocalist1961]

This should be told by a true American not an immigrant European.

[@judithwilson-pates1022]

I know Prof. Best and she is NOT in this video! Can someone please correct the description of this talk?

[@kaipride3462]

How do they even know the population before is my question.

[@laura3510]

Your tribe?

[@Ed-23]

Then, compare the legislation that they had in the spanish empire. They were citizens, like the people in Spain. They were protected, but the bad guy in history is Spain.

[@elbarrigueta]

@@epiphonecasino5903 You should study more and get rid of your complexes and resentments. By the way, you are unworthy of wearing that last name

[@felixramosfuentes7136]

And what is the result? Junípero and Columbus statues are torn down while the mind control continúes on... Pitty

[@LewisC-ly4or]

Amen! We will drive the anglos and northern europeans out of the southwest! I am Mexican and native American, in OUR ancestral lands in central Alta California! VIva Espana y el Rey!!

[@johnnobody3078]

​@@felixramosfuentes7136 I mean, both of those people also initiated genocides... Look into what the conditions in the missions were like. The only reason it isn't as bad as what is discussed in this lecture is because their goal wasn't outright extermination.

[@ellencorcoran4434]

I urge all to read the works of Servant of God Fr Bartolome De Las Casas, who exposed the crimes committed against the Indigenous People..

I have listen the "other side " to: unworthy history, stories of eyewitnesses.

No wonder I almost never run across any Indian in bay area. I was surprised why this wonderful place attract no native. Thanks for your revelation. Now I know they had been laid in graves long time ago.

[@Swan_Johnson]

There are many of indigenous decent in east bay

[@benbam6519]
