I appreciate that we get to hear accounts that expalin the reality that Native Americans were not enlightened, serene people. I spent most of my life believing that the Native Americans were very noble. I felt that the settlers were selfish and the U.S. government was stadistic. This woman's story and other people's accounts provide a glimpse into why there was fear, disgust and hatred towards Native Americans. It was complicated. For those who feel that the evil acts that the Native Americans were justified, you should consider this, the Native American tribes were pillaging, enslaving and harming eachother long before the European invasion. Ironically, it was just that the Europeans had the technology and orgaiization to pull off a full blown genocide in the way that some (not all) the Native Americans only dreamed of. Native Americans have been brutilizing eachother for centuries. The Aztecs as well as the Inca would enslave, brutilize, plunder and perform human sacrifices with the smaller, less powerful neaby tribes.

[@russellhogan2708]

No one doubts the accuracy of captive interviews. Native Americans were not peaceful but spent their leisure killing and scalping each other. Everything needs to be put in perspective. They had no chance against the white throng, losing their way of life and land. It was inevitable that they were reduced to their present condition. A condition which the victors cannot assuage, but only look on with pity.

To hear of the Indian side of the invasion and conquest of North America, read the letter of Silas Soule, who witnessed the Sand Creek Massacre in eastern Colorado. While Soule directed his men not to fire on the peaceful camp of Chief Black Kettle, other soldiers not under his command scalped and murdered the women, children and elderly Cheyenne and Arapaho, later gleefully parading their scalps and other bloody body parts through the streets of Denver in front of cheering crowds.

Charles' Cheyenne mother was married to famous trader William Bent, and Charles happened to be at the camp that day. The letters were archived at the Denver, Colorado library and so this may be the most credible account that exists. Other than Soule's gut-wrenching letter, of course.

[@sandrad9695]

Unfortunately, I feel like since the 1990’s, all we have heard is the Indian side of the story. I grew up hearing the reality that were was kindness on both sides and treachery on both sides, so I knew this false narrative for what it was. Sadly, many Millenials and GenZs have only heard the story of the gentle, peaceful Indians who lived wonderful, “green” lives and who were attacked, unprovoked, by the evil white settlers. I’m sick of it. Our forefathers did some wrong to the Indians, but the Indians were largely savages who had completely different values than we have. I’m so thankful that Western culture prevailed. When the American soldiers slaughtered Indians, it was not unprovoked or from simple sadism. It was in reaction to something the Indians did.

She realized that reading to them, as well as dressing wounds and performing slave labour were the only reasons she wasn't tortured and summarily murdered. Or perhaps for a possible future ransom. I have read other narratirves written by women who had witnessed their husbands and children murdered and been taken into captivity, and they all shied away from mentioning that they had all been repeatedly raped. Rape victims had an undeserved stigma attached to them back then.

[@Ketowski]

@@clayrankin8343 Rape victims often still have and undeserved stigma attached to them. Most trafficking in North America involves native women and children. The stigma or shame is often what prevents them from getting out of that life. Considering that many of them also meet an untimely end, the behaviour of those times has persisted. Too often rape is used as a weapon of war the world over.

Mom will be 100 in 3 years, up until her moving to a nursing home when she was no longer able to care for herself a few years ago, was deadly afraid of Indians. She grew up on deeded land on the Sioux Indian Reservation in North Dakota. Dad got the home place when his dad passed away, our farm was about 18 miles North of the Reservation boundary but mom's experience with the Indians even in the 20's and 30's was enough to bring on that fear. Now that she is living in the nursing home with a few elderly squaws she has come to be friends with them, however she still distrusts them and has caught them in her room searching her belongings for good things. Our town is but 10 miles from the reservation and when I began my police career in it, I dealt with plenty of the Sioux in the early 1970'S, then took a job South of here where I worked in the only town, on the only highway that connects the 2 large reservations in South Dakota. Our jail was often filled with Natives who, while passing through picked up some wine while "going to see my cousin at Pine Ridge," or "Going to see my Cousin in Cheyenne River." I took a job at a larger department North of there and moved on, but it was enlightening into the life of the old Indians on the reservations.

[@Ketowski]

Interesting how prejudices persist. The colonial powers set up the dynamic knowing full well the situation that settlers were being sent to.

The first men were almost literally sent to their slaughter as military strategy. Stories of their own leaders and scholars. And not all nations were like that. It’s stereotyping. Many who weren’t or helped colonial powers were decimated. Not to mention the genocidal scale of destroying Bison herds to bring plains tribes to their knees. Considering all the treaties made and reneged on. Not to mention outright destruction of whole nations. How would you like another nation coming in to colonize your territory? Oh, wait that’s happening with illegal immigrants that are being employed by businesses. They want it, but the average citizen doesn’t. History repeats itself.

I used to have a book with narratives and one was a farmstead with a large family that nearby Indians who had all lived alongside for more than 10 years who suddenly decided they hated the all the white folks and came killed the parents and staked out all the children to die slowly in the heat and eaten to death by animals...............true story.

It was a different time. My great great grandmother, Lucy Otherday, a loyal Mdewakanton and CHRISTIAN helped to rescue white settlers and missionaries during the Dakota war of 1862. So no, not all of them were bad. There were a lot of both good Dakota and Lakota and bad Lakota and Dakota. Maybe if Fanny Kelly with her family had not come to Turtle Island and stole land from my ancestors she wouldn't have been captured and held prisoner.

[@seplynn7122]

You only own what you can defend, not what you think you saw first... even the different Indian tribes believed that truth because they were fighting for land and killing each other long before the first white man showed up. The same was happening, and still is, all over the world, it's what humans do.

[@jimbrew4529]

The settlers weren't stealing land from your ancestors. They were common folk trying to survive in a strange and new land. They weren't political. Geez, most couldn't even speak English.

[@Ketowski]

Well put.

[@jimbrew4529]

The Dakota that helped the whites (the friendlies) were allowed to remain on reservation. Their descendants remain there to this day. Eventually, the friendlies were given additional land for a reservation (near Shakopee). The "half breeds" were awarded land near Red Wing which is called the Prairie Island reservation.

[@angela2726]

It's absolutely certain that if Fanny Kelly had not passed through just then she would not have been kidnapped 😂 but I do wonder what brought her there. She must have known it was dangerous

[@Nakaiidine19-eC.aA.dC98]

I hope you know there were indigenous people living here before all you Europeans came, taking their land, massacred whole tribes, bringing all your diseases which they weren’t immune to, which wiped out hundreds of Indians. The white settlers were killing Indian women, children, babies, just so they could take their land. Who were the monsters?

[@Fairyviewroad]

They haven't been conquered until they capture you.

[@bettybilly2496]

I am an Indigenous American. As the White man came to the Americas, they claimed land as if no one lived on it. Then there was forced removal including murder. Now do you understand why we do what we do?

What you do? You've done nothing. If you threw a newborn infant into a stove to burn to death and take it out smashing it's brains against the wall you would be on death row rightly waiting execution. There's NO EXCUSE to do this to a baby or a human being whether the person is white or Indian.

[@mineralmerchant00]

Your people did what they did because it was culturally acceptable to kidnap, rape, torture, mutilate and murder their enemies, no matter their race, sex or age. Any culture with those cultural practices is indeed a bunch of savages. Yes I know, some whites did those things also and they were considered criminals and degenerates by the whites, it most definitely was not socially acceptable among the whites. Also, the land wasn't "stolen", it was conquered. A concept the natives fully understood because they themselves conquered other lands.

You definitely don't have the facts at all. They were not native Americans, and I repeat were not native Americans. Liz Warren must be related to them. It was Kelly who had/ has the Native American heritage along with other ethnic back grounds. One could say, her leaf's branched out all over different ethnics. Kelly never had to steal anyone else's identity. Look it up, it's Biblical.. And they know it....... Not Sorry!!!!!!!!

I don’t agree with the individuals theory! I will rely upon the words of the woman who lived and wrote about her experiences. To think that she endured so many tragedies that she somehow couldn’t handle rape, I find that he is more likely ignorant than she was weak. Some people who have the audacity to say this to gain some notoriety off of someone’s misery is nothing less than PATHETIC!

It went both ways. Treaties were broken every time, entire tribes completely wiped out. Millions of indigenous peoples were killed off their own land by invaders. What would u do if a group of people came to your house and kicked u out, then killed half your family and friends?

[@horsewomn]

There are savage people on both sides. Whites and Spanish taught Native Americans to take scalps, whites gave Natives Smallpox, and a host of other diseases. We took their lands, their culture, and their children were separated from their families and sent to boarding school where They were beaten for speaking heir language, practicing their religion, they were savagely abused at the hands of Priests and nuns.

You cannot sugarcoat the Indians treatment of the woman let alone the murders of the children it must be condemned no matter who the culprit is because every child is represented by an Angel before GOD all-mighty Christ said anyone who hurts one my little ones might as well put a milestone around his neck and throw himself in the deepest part of the ocean even though the Indians were not educated they had to know what it was to lose a child
