I once sat on the bluff that over looked where Chief Joseph and his people were attacked for the last time. It's just south of Chinook, Montana. As I was praying and talking to my deceased grandmother (half Gros Ventre and half Irish) a Golden Eagle flew over the battlefield below then levelled off at my higher level and flew straight toward me, eye level. At about 20 feet it veered upwards and flew away. I know it was a spiritual event. I was always taught that when you're thinking of your ancestors and then you see an eagle, it's a sign that they are listening.

@@beorbeorian150 Yes we do. I've been to war and I absolutely know that it is humanity at its absolute worst. In fact, war is evil. As far as Chief Joseph and his tribe goes, I always wondered why they just didn't let them walk the remaining 40 miles to Canada. Seems so vindictive. Unnecessary pain and suffering is evil.

I can remember some odd tidbits of the Nez Perce tribe. They numbered around 6-7000 in 1850-1855. They were divided down the middle as to treaty and nontreaty followers. The pro-treaty faction of the tribe was pretty much settled into reservation life by the 1860s the nontreaty faction preferred to live in the traditional way. Chief Joseph's band in this case lived in the Wallowa Valley of Oregon. The tribe had the ownership and run (Right-of-Way) of 7.5 million acres and the right to hunt lands ceded to the US government according to the Walla Walla treaty of 1855. The US government reneged on the 1855 treaty in principle by forcing the Nez Perce back to the negotiations for a new treaty to take away 80% of the land of the reservation in 1863 by the terms of the treaty of that year.

Nobody has to live on a reservation. But if you leave the reservation then basically you are giving up most of your tribal sovereignty. That is basically all they ever fought for, the right to govern themselves. So leaving the reservation means giving that up. Leaving also means giving up many of the roots to your culture, access to elders, stomp grounds, dance grounds, your clan, etc.. But you’re right about the “STILL IS” part. It’s mostly unseen but the war against Native Americans has never ended, it just moved into the courts. Look how hard Oklahoma fought against McGirt and tried to remove tribal recognition. Look at all the ongoing cases against Indian Gaming. Look at the fight against the Indian Child Welfare Act. I could go on and on.

@@keithmaxwell2169 The story also varies so much by tribe. One really has to go back and look at the hundreds of different treaties and how they apply. Many tribes don’t have reservations in terms of what we think a reservation is because of tactics of forced assimilation. There are over 500 Indian Nations each with their own story. Maybe some generalizations can be made. For instance the experience of Northeastern tribes is much different than the Southeastern tribes, which is much different than the tribes on the Great Plains. The Northern Great Plains experience was different than the Southern Great Plains experience, which is different from what tribes in the Great Basin experienced. Pueblo’s, Apache, and Navajo are in their own unique circumstances California tribes faced their own uniques horrors no other tribe faced. And the situation for Northwest Coastal Tribes was different from the NW inland tribes. While it is true that some tribes were restricted to reservations at some point in time, other tribes never had a reservation to be restricted to. The term “Indians not taxed” in the Constitution doesn’t even begin to convey the underlying complexity of the body of Indian Law. Some Indians always had US Citizenship, but it wasn’t until 1924 and the Snyder Act that all Indians became US citizens. It wasn’t until 1962 that all Indians had the right to vote. Now most Tribes are considered Domestic Dependent Nations and Tribal citizens are dual citizens of sorts. I’m getting into,the weeds now, but point is, it’s complicated.

Taking on Mr. T, while he’s got a stone-reinforced fighting position!? I pity the fools!

Perhaps only Tecumseh, who died almost 25 years before Chief Joseph was born, can be considered as brilliant a tactician, as honorable a man, as fearless a fighter, and yet as humane and desirous of peace as a prophet. Great video Josh. 👍🏼 Very well done!

I am glad to see O.O. Howard finally had somebody he could beat (sic), mostly because the enemy largely were old people, women and children. Howard's great skill is on display in the movie, "Gods and Generals," where hid neglect of his flank with Stonewall roaming around directly caused the Confederate victory. He tried like heck to do the same thing on Day 11 at Gettysburg, and it took Hancock to save the day. He was a 24-hour-a-day Christian who passed out religious pamphlets to his corps of German freethinker socialists who fled Europe after 1848, and held the church in low esteem. Not by far the most impressive Union general. Nelson Miles was, in short, a ruthless, nakedly ambitious SOB. He fought with merit in the War of Northern Aggression, but really stacked up brownie points by treating Jefferson Davis like a cur dog in prison at Fortress Monroe. "Ruthless" also described his approach to Indian fighting. He was a publicity whore who put Custer to shame. He did realize his goal of commanding the US Army. This campaign was a huge feather in his bonnet.

I don't understand why coffee is always lumped in with necessary supplies. I like coffee too but it always is added among supply lists that are the bare necessities. It was a legal requirement to provide coffee to both passengers and crew of ranks and social stratum aboard British passenger and cargo ships during this period of history.
