Broken Treaties (Full documentary) | Oregon Experience | OPB

For thousands of years, more than 60 Native American tribes lived in Oregon's diverse environmental regions. At least 18 languages were spoken across hundreds of villages. This civilizational fabric became unraveled in just a few short decades upon contact with white settlers in the 19th century.
In this "Oregon Experience" documentary, Native Oregonians reflect on what has been lost since and what's next for their tribes.

I'm Irish. I feel for the Native Americans as it is a reminder of what happened to my people. A message to all Indegenous peoples. Do not ever forget your culture. 90% of Irish culture has been forgotten. The traditional hunting, fishing, sustainable living, home craft has been almost forgotten by most Irish people. Salmon, trout and the like were a big reliant in villages, 1 halibut could feed many families. We even had our own unique hooks, nets, baskets, fishing styles ect. Traditional Irish healing is basically dead aside from few elders who know it and pass on knowledge. But unfortunately the elders often lose their memories. Places like the West are the only ones who have some of it still around. And it's in dying numbers. So please don't forget your culture. It ruins a country and a people

My great grandparents left Ireland because of the famine and went to England. My grandparents weren't allowed to tell anyone they were Irish. It was so ingrained in my grandmother that my father didn't learn he was Irish decent until he was in his 40s after he'd already came to Canada. When I was a kid and she came to visit us in Canada and I still remember how shocked he was. Because my grandmother was made to feel so ashamed I feel like have no connection to my family history.

As a (60`s scoop) google for proper terms of how when the rezadental schools started to close as the queens picnicks like Oct.10 64, were a brother William Cooms charged her and her husband as he wittnessed the 12 children there hotdogs shall we say,as he was Ebstined before his testamonie in a cell supose to prtecting him,well done, To children like myself born in 67 in Thundrer Bay both my parents from there but different rezervations but the whtes getting $ as foter care yet when my owners friends of a woman fostering just as they brought my 2week self only 2lbs less wieght then birth in hospital till dropped off to them a rasist teacher & a husband who wanted children trying adoption as who can`t fall for a 5lb 2week old baby, his thoughts, when showing me off my mother was told to shut her mouth as the woman shood her friends away saying her mothers inside as after my mum was told never come back to were he friends and my father was at even though she denighed him marrage or even seeing me wich cased him to marry a french woman to make her hurt like she hurt him,she too married a moron who couldn`t even speak english,The constant lies over the past 38 years since she placed herself in my life regarding what was going on, telling me at day 1 I`m 17 and put down because I didn`t have her & her boyfriend an old white trucker who called me a whore because I painted her nails red and didn`t let 2 strangers mother or not I paid for a room in a hotel next to my apt, I got the grea news that my father raped her yet she only had gonneriah 2/3 times from him while pregnant with me,not carring all I lived threw SRA, and abuse and trying suicide at 10 and running since 12, being in childrens aid more and more abuse at 13 put in London Phic by the rasist teacher who as mum had me dancing since 2 and telling me that if I wasn`t adopted I`d be dead as when she was at teachers collage all native babies had no blankets and mothers didn`t know how to make formula so most babies starved, as well as other stupid rasist stories that after awhile I was sick of hearing how lucky I was being sexually, and emotionally,as well as the beattings and noone caring being the only one and being stratigicly kept away from any native things or people letting me adopted brother get the other children involved with the wagon burner, and many other names & pictres he`d draw & many many besattings while we`re bot being abuse so before 7 we had no clue things that were happening was not things that siblings or happen to children who are loved and cared for.So I fell in love and married the worse person ever as he was so smart and told me truth about our people and being ignored yet beat up and not liked as his father was Pierre Trudeau`s right hand minister of external affairs & justice. So bt marrying him and having the only grandchildren who I rasied up in cerimonies by my 110 ojibway techer Peter from Albera who they learned everything I didn`t get as well as being nursed for 3plus years and cloth diapers as well as both native names that when sweated for there indian names got pretty much the same names as I named then there meanings anyways, my daughter is still spoke of as at 9 did a 4 day fast no food or water as I couldn`t wrop my head around a child no water for 4 days & nights but as I was told she believes in creator more then you, I`m so glad even though I took it hard by many as I married outside m race it took many years before truth started comming out that my father didn`t rape and I met him as well as his grandchldren a whole mess there 2.

It`s very sick but true they will never care about us, $21K as a 60`s scoop how much did the lawyers get? My motherinlaw worked on that lawsuit back in the early 80`s while buying things for and sleeping with her childrens friends she`s 81 and still practising law in Toronto, just insaine the life I`ve lived and seen yet I now undrestand that even when creator gives a dream to my daughter she still follows her fathers people who have all taken the vax wich is not a vax biut a gene therapy as one of the 4 love children I took in my home as I saw them headed for my life of abuse,The aunt 50plus years running a lab in the states fought off covid and brought in a cure to the White house was told no and we have the medcation but my children and others who listened to the same demon who genocided a million gay men as well as africans who in Bush sr, debate 34mins, in mentions Fuchi whose helpped in all this demonic crap.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

It was taught in my Oregon school district growing up in the 80's although it was oriented more on Native history and culture and less on "you should feel guilty" which seems to be the current theme. FYI before someone calls me a bigot for that comment my Grandmother was Native American I grew up going to Pow Wows and learning about our history, I just think it is a lot more constructive to teach about the culture and rich history rather than promoting anger, guilt and bitterness over something none of us were involved in. I am also Irish and I realized long ago it was not very constructive to hate the English now for what their ancestors may or may not have done to mine.

[@bobbilaval6171]

@@deanfirnatine7814 I don’t think teaching the truth is telling anyone they should feel guilty. As you mentioned later in your post there is no reason to feel shame or guilt over things you didn’t do. I don’t think it is helpful to anyone to maintain the myth of American History as it is taught in public schools and maintained in our media culture. Some level of regret is appropriate, but that’s not the same as shame or guilt. Without some level of regret or acknowledgement there can’t be any meaningful improvement. Sure cultural appreciation has its place, but unfortunately Indian law and Government policy at its core is still based on the Doctrine of Discovery and the Marshal Court decisions from the early 1800s. It would be better for everyone if our laws were based on modern concepts of human rights rather than based on outdated 13th century racist religious doctrine. I only say this because attacks on Tribal sovereignty haven’t stopped, and no amount of cultural appreciation could ever make it stop.

Expat from U.S., watching from Costa Rica.🏖 Prior to my relocation, I lived in Oklahoma and Arizona. My heart was saddened to see the living conditions, and 4th world status of Indigenous Americans on reservations! Unfortunately, this is similar to conditions Indigenous Indios of Costa Rica, Brazil and throughout Central and South America are also facing!

I’m originally from Ohio, so I know ALOT about native Americans. Beautiful people.

Maps were great. Thanks for that. It would be most informative to see something of this caliber done on the Michigan region, or at least the St Clair and Detroit Rivers. I know there's a tonne of history there.

I THINK THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS WILL TOUCH MICHIGAN AND DETROIT, JUST GET THE CORRECT TIMELINE..
