The Cree Uprising: How Indigenous Warriors Defied The Canadians | Nations At War | War Stories

Once the Cree and their allies dominated the western fur trade. Sustained by the buffalo. By 1885, their decline meant disaster and starvation. Betrayed by Ottawa, who offered peace and food for land, the Cree would make a valiant last stand to save their people's future.

This narrator is impressive. He has a strong stage presence and delivery.

[@shannonthompson721]

Agreed 😁

[@teknokronik]

The migrating herds of buffalo also kept the grasslands from becoming deserts, which they're close to now.

If anybody is interested, there is a movie loosely based on the events of Rogers' Raid on St Francis. It's Northwest Passage with Spencer Tracy as Rogers.

i love talking to Blackfoot who hate cree more than anything. it's just funny how people don't get that the "Indians" aren't all friends, and somehow we put them in one basket. lol

We Blackfoots don't hate

[@NorthPasture]

⁠@@buefordplaitedhair1667I’m Cree. I grew up hearing stories on how we were always at war. Stealing each others horses land and women. But that had to have been at least 150 years ago. Too busy trying to pay bills these days to worry about any of that 😂

[@danajthaha6170]

Wait I thought the Cree came from the same family as the Blackfoot . I thought the difference was Blackfoot warriors Cree peaceful. I’m Blackfoot Cree this makes me sad

[@user-pt7dv8dz1r]

The Cree are are like today's LGBTQ movement because they think they are Deadly and are as good as Blackfoot but they are just Delusional

[@NINjaboy20111]

Wait; I learned that Poundmaker tried to prevent the sacking and seige at Battleford due to seeing open conflict as a needless waste of life, but the other bands disagreed and layed siege anyways due to hunger.

[@bboyphil1313]

Canadas' current Army could use some integration of native American customs.

[@TMConstructionOntario]

What lmfao, no.

[@ConstantineofRome]

I’m Acadian thank you 🙏

[@daveretiredbkk4701]

MacDonald was the first Prime Minister of Canada, so made everyone upset. Sometimes, the best settlement is when both parties are upset. Fortunately, he was married to a wonderful Metis woman Jane Klyne. Many of the Great Founding Fathers of Canada were married to Metis, spoke their language, and understood their customs.

[@warthogA10]

Kinda odd but my ancestry on my father's side is Acadian and Cree.. A rare case I guess?

[@americanoutcast9716]

I take it the narrator doesn't celebrate Columbus day

[@Americandragonrider333.]

We wouldn’t have a country if it wasn’t for Columbus. Freedom and Liberty would have been wiped from the Earth by the Muslim Ottomans, if it weren’t for Columbus discovering the America’s and “Telling” people about it. (Unlike everyone before) It’s the Americas that gave Spain the Treasure and recourses to fight of the the Muslims! And helped all the other European countries involved in the Americas later on to do the same! All because Christopher Columbus went exploring discovering America an “telling” people about it when he got back! Let’s be grateful to Columbus for what he’s given us! There would be no land of the Free and home of the brave if it weren’t for Columbus!

[@abrahampedraza7695]

As he should Columbus is nothing but a phony

[@Russia-bullies]

He does not celebrate Erik the Red day,either.

Terrible how the white man killed off the buffalo...

[@shannonthompson721]

He sounds fine to me, this is how we sound when we hang around with Educated folks because that’s what they expect. It just happens from over pronouncing. North Americans got a lot of language from exposure to us also. Folks don’t think about that often

[@davidshoup1392]

Clear enunciation needs no apology. Some dialects of English, both North American and British, are inscrutable and very difficult to be understood by non-native speakers of English.

[@daveretiredbkk4701]

There is zero difference between the British claiming territory or the Shoshone (from Mexico), French, The newly arrived Plains Cree (from Ontario), Spanish, or recently arrived Blackfoot (From East Coast USA) they were all colonizing and stealing each other's land. Everyone was claiming territory.

[@bsdetecter2556]

what a crock.

[@martytrueblood5902]

i remember the great Fugawi tribe uprising.....they mobilized the airports and made love to Greeks while warring on the Mongols.... that is the last time we hold a mosaic festival in this city.....
