Hey trying to add some details. For example at about 14:54 the level goes down and then after „late 1800s“ (14:56) it goes significantly up again. At least an issue I face when watching it in the KZbin App on my WebOS TV (LG). This happens ~once every 50 seconds throughout the video and is somewhat irritating. Hope that helps, happy to provide more info if needed.

Can you make a video on how the US gov destroyed Osho's commune and arrested him without any warrant and prevented him from entering the US and even visiting ally countries? Note: We've seen docs like Wild Wild Country, please don't focus on his secretary Sheela and things that gone wrong, many sources done this already. I'm referring to his experiment as he created different type of society where everybody was joyful and he dropped the use of "money" in the city he created. There were no crimes in that 5k population. Another note: It's not a utopia, please do a thorough research watch as many videos as possible of him and his new experiment of expanding consciousness that caused huge concerns for many governments of the world. Really interesting and it requires thorough researching, it's bigger that what you see in Wild Wild Country and other documentaries.

Born and raised in OKC. When I was in elementary, the school system seemed to celebrate the history of the land run and would take the kids out on the playground during "Land Run Day" so they could claim a place to sit outside and have their lunch. Growing up you mostly just heard positive stuff regarding the land run like how the college football team is named after the people participating in it. Until watching this video I hadn't realized there were four distinct runs. Until a few years ago I wasn't even aware of the Tulsa riots. Thanks for the history lesson and teaching me something my public schooling should have long ago.

I disagree. These types of videos are a blatant attempt to fill a narrative of disdain and affectations towards the progress of current society. Just in the title itself…America “Stole” the land? No they didn’t. They conquered it…and made it their own. EXACTLY what is done ALL OVER THE WORLD. How do you think countries are made? You conquer the land and kick out its current inhabitants. Literally…EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has the same history. In fact…America is one of the only places where they actually let the current inhabitants remain to some degree. Every other country that takes land…they wipe out the current inhabitants…completely. No bills or laws for them. No reservations. No concern for future. Tell me…how did Tonkawa and Caddo get their land? I’ll tell you. THEY “STOLE” IT! They kick out the current inhabitants and TOOK the land as their own! EVERY NATIVE TRIBE DID THE SAME EXACT THING!!!!! The difference is: America let some live. These videos are HORRIBLY lopsided and only feed a rhetoric of virtue signaling and blind disdain.

As a Cherokee Nation citizen living within Cherokee Territory (where it dips into Tulsa, Oklahoma), I've always been confused by how the land runs were and still are taught in public schools. As a kid, I remember the Trail of Tears was largely glazed over-which felt odd because some of my ancestors were forcibly relocated on that path and some maybe even died along the way. I walked a bit of it myself on a hike it and it felt quite eerie. Meanwhile, the University of Oklahoma's fight song is still "Boomer Sooner" - the Boomers being those non-natives who lobbied for the state to be opened for a land boom and the Sooners were those who illegally snuck in and claimed lands before the land runs would even begin. If my son, a card-carrying Cherokee Nation citizen, ever decides to attend OU, I would feel conflicted about him chanting such a tone-deaf anthem after their football team scores another touchdown.

I remember learning about "the greatness of manifest destiny and Americans' bravery in settling the unknown West" and the concept that there were people already there that we kicked out wasn't ever really part of the discussion. This was in elementary school, in high school we got more of the details, but it still wasn't really explicit that we kept breaking our promises over and over. It still feels weird that we were taught to be proud of first violently then politically stealing people's land and breaking treaties just because we wanted what they had. We throw so much shade at Europe for imperialism and how they treated people but we tend to conveniently gloss over all of the stuff we did, or if we talk about it the slant is heavily in favor of the idea that Americans were just really ambitious and out-competed everyone else, which conveniently fits perfectly into the obsession with capitalism.

[@rafanadir6958]

Don't call these people American. They were as European as they come. Due to the nationalism in Europe, the first colonizers - the white protestant from the UK and Northern Europe - started expanding the dimension of the only common denominator they had with other Europeans - whiteness. Thus they started expanding the definition of what white. First it was other protestants from Europe, then it was catholics from Germanic countries, then Catholics from the British isles, the catholics of the remaining parts of Europe, except Spain. Eventually, the Greeks were integrated into that group too. Due to the cold War, that process stopped for the better part of the 20th century, but after 1989 it came back into full force - we are currently integrating former Warsaw pact nations into our concept of whiteness. The last ethnicity are the Ukrainians.

In our tradition we are part of the circle of life, we have forgotten what human really is, the western culture has promoted the seeking of success, like power and control over everything including nature, that leaves a path of destruction and death. We have to go back to our roots, all of humanity comes from a tribe of people, our ancestors are hoping for better where we can see past the lies, division and hatred that keep us enslaved to a self-destructive path, we need to go back to the red road, the path of unity, love and community.

The only reason that conquered civilizations are idolized is because we choose to forget about the moral failings of the defeated. This is often encouraged by the fact that we lack the material evidence to contradict out emotional conclusions. It happens with every conquered culture, the Spartans are remembered as valiant heroes: The Ottomans are remembered for their fair administration and their conquest of Constantinople. The Romans are remembered for their engineering, and their skill on the battlefield. The Celts were praised for their ferocity. But ultimately, all of these empires and their people committed terrible mass atrocities on multiple occasions over hundreds and thousands of years. The only reason that many of the native American tribes are so revered is because they lacked a robust system for archiving history and no one is left who remembers the atrocities that their ancestors committed. A person can be valiant, brave, kind, and noble. A government lacks that level of agency, it can only allocate resources. Pretending that one is the other is nothing but propaganda.

I think a video on the Indian Child Welfare Act, given the recent SCOTUS decision, would be a logical next step in this journey. Definitely get in contact with Rebecca Nagle.

Looking at maps of historic US, I always noticed OK being marked as “Indian Territory” and wondered “huh why isn’t OK an Indian state, then?” Thanks for covering this topic

[@Gundurr]

This fills my soul with so much emotion, mostly stunned rage that this happened at all. I am devastated that this horrible schooling system that we have NEVER touched any of this. This History of this Nation was purposefully shoved out of the way, and only now am I learning how it all happened.

[@42Porter]

I wasn’t expecting this to be quite such an upsetting watch. Thank you for covering this important piece of history that was entirely excluded from my British education.

[@AlexMartinez-zi5uc]

Oh don't feel left out, this history isn't taught in the American education neither.

[@AacisStudio]

Something similar happened in Mexico and all over Latin America , it is really sad how many cultures and knowledge we lost

[@krono5el]

not lost, eradicated by christian europeans. makes you wonder who are the most evil people in all human history.

[@H3B3R33]

Not something similar, the very exact processes was used all over the world towards natives of their own land… sad to say, but it still continues to this day. So when someone says, go back to where you came from, it’s laughable because if we dig deep enough, we’ll find a land grabber within our own lineage..

[@erictimm]

These are important videos. Growing up in the US, I was never taught this and so much American history that was swept under the rug.

Same here in Romania, but we had the communism doing it

[@radicalmind5742]

The history of US imperislism and the europeans are about rape ,murder, and perpetual servitude of the native people everywhere till today to another form.

[@pablocalderon9528]

Thank you for this coverage

[@kennymedina]

I was always saddened by how badly the Spanish did in many countries in the Americas. But the systematic eradication that the native peoples went through in North America is totally disgusting.

[@sumitshresth]

if you look at Latin America the displacement is not really there. you will still find native folks everywhere living normally. This is not something you will find in US. they are bunched in small reservations. US is a country of segregation. This I believe comes from mentality of purity that white Europeans practiced.

[@kennymedina]

@sumitshresth yeah, England always said that the Spanish empire annihilate the native of South America and part of nort America but that's not. I myself comes from a multiracial family where my grandfather was a indigenous mixed with African and my other grandfather had an eyes blue like a sky, he had an European ancestor. I'm an example of how the majority of Venezuelan looks like

[@AL-lh2ht]

@@sumitshresthit’s the native choice to stay in their reservations. Calling the US racist for their own decision is disingenuous.

[@AL-lh2ht]

@@kennymedinaspine became multi racial. Their is no such thing as “pure bred” natives their anymore.

[@skylx0812]

@@AL-lh2ht The CIA's MKUltra program dosed many inner city ghettoes, prisons, military bases and Indian Reservations with LSD. Many groups in the USA were intentionally hobbled. Agent Orange was sprayed in reservation rivers from 1950 to 1978 that caused cancer, physical deformations and mental retardation in many Native communities.

[@AustinMeltonADM]

Having grown up in Oklahoma, this single video is more comprehensive and accurate than any of the revisionist Oklahoma history taught in the public school system.

[@thomasli7043]

The upcoming movie "Killers of the Flower Moon" (Oct 2023) is based on the true story of the Osage Native American tribe in Oklahoma and tells the story of how the greed for resources led to the murder of the Indigenous. Neat coincidence for Johnny to also tell this story

[@jeffman5428]

I’ve been waiting for that it looks good

[@anguspaterson5713]

There’s a not dissimilar story in Australia, New Zealand and quite a lot of other places. It makes me so so sad.

[@krono5el]

wherever christian europeans arrive everyone is going to have a real bad time : D

[@mfaizsyahmi]

It sucks a lot that when you peel away the veneer of civilization in all of humanity's history, it's all people being horrible against one another like it's a universal constant that can't be broken, ever. Also, the titling of this video is something else. The thieves stole even the name of the place, that Johnny had to cross out and write the real one, which has been all but thoroughly erased.

[@MandEmma7]

Wow, thanks for covering this!

[@sophieram575]

This was an amazing video and I am so grateful for the insight. I would love to learn more about the real story of our nations history. Thank you and your team for all the work putting this out ❤

[@bcmiles80]

Being from Oklahoma. This hits home. Everything about this video is real. Go to Oklahoma now, and it’s full of Indian casino taking back the white mans money.

[@stranger.granger]

I like this format. It's like telling ChatGPT to 'explain this topic to me like I'm 12', but with a well written script and pleasing graphics.

[@EirikXL]

you wanted more stories like this. Look at the Sami people in Norway (specially), Sweden and Finland. They were driven out and prevented from speaking their language or practice their culture until the end of 19th century, and today there is a revival where old Sami place names are reintroduced and language and government is being set up more and more to revive them.

Johnny is the only youtuber who makes even the ads look interesting! It's hard to skip his ads

[@christianbosse_]

this video is so interesting. my grandma was born there in 1919 and though my native family didn’t end up staying in OK, i’ve always wondered if they wanted to stay or not 🫠 can’t ask them now (they’ve passed) added: my grandmother was cherokee btw. ended up in the Kansas City area

[@celestemoss1141]

Amazing work as always, Johnny. I live in Oklahoma and I feel like a lot of the people here are not well-educated on this. Thank you for this video

[@yoshitheonly]

That last point is so important. Hundreds of cultural aspects have been boiled down to "Native American" and dismissed away entirely. This country stands on mountains of bones.

[@lizalou2018]

Absolutely loved the video; however, there was something wonky about the booming “music” or sounds you had playing in the background that somehow affected the actual volume, causing it to up and down. Keep them coming though… :)

[@KarlMarshall]

The vocals are lost in the bass

[@nickl0v3]

Yes! I was worried I was losing my hearing.

[@johncameron]

To pour salt on the wound of native people’s history in Oklahoma there are two mountains in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge named for Army officers who were involved in the Indian relocation efforts or ‘Trail of Tears’. They are Mt Scott (3rd highest peak in the state) and Mt Sheridan just to its west.

[@Pizzamouserat]

I just finished reading “Killers of the Flower Moon” by David Grann covering murders in Osage territory around 1921-1925. Very interesting timing for this video haha! That would be an amazing topic for a future video in this series.

[@jeffman5428]

Yes it really would

[@krono5el]

even up till the 20th century christian europeans were still as evil as ever. never has the world seen such evil.

I’m a lawyer in OK, and I just want to comment that our State Constitution (based on the State of Sequoyah’s) is written much more broadly than the U.S. Constitution and includes various rights belonging to the people and individuals that we do not have at the federal level. Our State equivalent to the First Amendment, for example, goes beyond just the five protections identified in the U.S. Constitution!
