The First American Revolution - The Pueblo Revolt of 1680

[@johnf3f810]

Whilst I do not blame, or discriminate against, todays peoples for the crimes of their ancestors I believe it is essential that we know of our history - both good and bad. Hopefully we can learn from it and never repeat it! Please do more of this type of vlog, you have given many of us a greater insight into the history of the Americas - more please.

As an Indigenous Chickasaw and Otoe Missouria person, people in the 2A community more often than not tell me and our peoples to be grateful for Colonialism, and particularly for us and our ancestors being forcibly removed from our families and tribes and adopted to "more qualified" White families. When I try to engage in conversation and share with them our perspectives, histories, abuses, genocide, and specifically the broken legal treaties and Nazi like racist eugenic laws that denied us human status, I am met with extreme hostility. They frequently try to justify the Federal Govt violating law and their own written word, and pretty much doing everything else the 2A community claims to be violations of basic human liberties which they fear for themselves. This video is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the time, research, and respect you put into this. My People the Chickasaw are why the Spanish border stops near the Mississippi and TN.

[@clayhuston3520]

I have a hard time equating any of that to Christian or white. Catholicism, in most of its forms, was anything but Christian. And Christian was not a white religion to begin with. But it was all pretty God damned evil. And I mean that literally. Christianity never ordered anyone to do any of the horrific things that were done to these wonderful people. I dare say that their religions were probably similar to Christianity in several aspects. And had real Christians been there, the outcome might have been better. The Catholic Church persecuted many a real Christian for even reading the scriptures. This video makes me want to go back out there and see more of it. I seem to have only scratched the surface and what I have visited.

[@aiyahuntacheimumbi236]

@@clayhuston3520 I didn't specifically say Christian but I understand your point. The Puritans weren't Catholic and were horrible to our peoples. The Irish Catholics were however overwhelmingly hostile towards indigenous and black folks when it was my Tribe's sister Tribe the Choctaw who provided them with shelter and relief from the Potato Blight. I mentioned White with adoptions because of the 60's scoop. If you're not familiar with it, it was a policy by the US and Canadian Govts backed by Oil and Mineral interests, and the Church, to take as many indigenous children as possible and adopt them to allegedly "more qualified" white families. Their Tribal status was removed and their race recorded as legally white. That way they could strip us of our cultures and lower our numbers so that the treaties protecting our land, and it's oil and mineral wealth were no longer an issue. This was done all the way into the 80's and 90's.

[@billdont2458]

@@aiyahuntacheimumbi236 Facts! I'm Choctaw and Cherokee. My Grandparents on both sides were full bloods. My grandmothers first born was taken away from here and given to a white family in Texas. She passed away about 5 years ago at the age of 84 I think, but I would occasionally talk to her about Louise, ( the first borne) and through 40 years of me asking about her it broke her heart every time to speak about it.

[@QuixtopherOtic]

I remember visiting Pecos for the first time. I originally went there for the Glorieta Pass battlefield, which was interesting, but really found the ruins and remnants there to be quite special. The attendant there said that “there was a battle fought for three days here, and there’s a Pueblo where people lived for 700 years. Most people have only heard of the battle”

[@Ducaso]

An excellent and humbling presentation to observe on Indigenous People’s Day. It’s historical struggles like these that would mold our current world. The more they are lost and forgotten to us either by time or machinations, the less we really understand about our perspectives.

[@spondulixtanstaafl7887]

Thank you so much for this important Historical content. It is immeasurably important to look at events such as these unflinchingly and understand the true context of our shared past. Understanding and respect of one another is key to all of us moving forward together.

[@_f355]

thank you for this video, Karl. it is imperative that people know the dark pages of their history, the facts without whitewashing and embellishment by the "winners who write the history". being from Russia myself, I have just recently started to dig deeper into the history of that colonial empire (sic!) and re-evaluating the "truths" the history textbooks taught me. it's heartbreaking, but it must be done, for the world will be a slightly better place if more people reflect on their past.

[@DeviantOllam]

No mention of Javier Maribona-Picard, Jean-Luc's distant ancestor, whose actions after the revolt would have long reaching effects that informed what the captain of the Enterprise would do during the standoff on Dorvan V. I see they've gotten to you, too... erasing the important history details that future generations will need to learn. 😉👍🚀

[@paulrapp613]

Karl, Many thanks. Your historical presentations are very interesting; in their own way as enlightening as the firearms related content on InRange. As an inhabitant of far southwest New Mexico, I find your histories of this area of great value. Keep the aspidistra flying! Paul

[@zakleclaire1858]

I'm gona try to swoop in here before *those* comments start and say thank you for this Karl! I'm not a member of one of the Nations mentioned in this video but I am an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. I love seeing how willing you are to cover these kinds of topics despite how a particularly loud minority of your audience reacts to this kind of content. Keep the good work and have a peaceful Indigenous People's Day!

[@pilgrimm23]

Karl: I lived for like 20+ years in Northern New Mexico. I have had many Pueblo friends and have been invited to dances at several. Cochiti, San Juan, Tesuque... They are very nice people with complex languages and social structures. They are also not as stand-offish as most anglos think at least they were very welcoming to me age 17. A Pueblo dance and its meal is not a thing to miss if you are invited. Being invited is a great honor and should be treated as such. Northern New Mexico is a great place to be raised.

[@bw6618]

A young Englishman named Frederick Ruxton rode from Mexico City up into the American Southwest during the 1840s and left his journals for modern readers. He described an uprising of locals of Mexican and Peublo descent who rebelled against the newly established American rulers during the Taos Revolt of 1847.

[@gnarshread]

[@skaagkaal2613]

I appreciate your work with this channel and Ian when he contributes to these little segments. Not just north American tribal history, but the regional history of the southwest and the people that inhabited the the region and the cohabitation of American, Mexican, Spanish, and the Native tribes.

[@mujahidean]

Colonialism is never pretty but the way the Spanish treated the Indigenous Americans is just on another level of cruelty. Usually I can detach from events that were such a long time ago but this shit just makes me so angry and so sad. It feels just as raw and relevant today as any of the worst atrocities of the 20th century. Excellent video btw, I really appreciate these lesser known aspects of American history.

[@clayhuston3520]

I completely agree with you. And where did the Spanish get the idea that any of this was Christian? The Catholic Church seemed to be anything but Christian the way they approached other civilizations. Nowhere in any of the Christian writings do I see where these tactics are called for. And all of the apostolic writings, and quotes from Jesus himself, are there any indications that people from other faiths, or just non-believers are to be treated this way. It pisses me off because of its bad representation of the commands given by Jesus.

[@ArcanisUrriah]

It is really good to see pre and early colonisation history in this area. Cheers.

This is the first one of your deep dives where I have actually been to some of the places mentioned.

I went to school literally behind the Casa Grande Ruins. It's humbling.

[@kylep3440]

Firstly, great video! Second, I do wonder what the Pueblo and other agricultural based people thought of the apache and commanchee before the arrival of the Spanish

[@Swordsman52]

Always remember these people felt the effects of colonialism before they even saw a white person. The American SW and Rocky Mountain front range were a major source of slaves for the Spanish in Mexico starting in the mid 1500s and it wasn't the Spaniards doing the enslaving. It was contracted out to other Native people who also saw it as an opportunity to exert power against competitors for European goods.

[@williamcollins4082]

They had those cliff houses for a reason . Far before the Spanish ever arrived . The others probably traded with them .

Thanks, Karl. Very interesting. I marvel at the real facts, truth of the catholic priests’ behavior, with conquistador soldiers backing them up, compared to the kindly, gentle depiction of them in all the 1950’s-1960’s westerns films.

[@myparceltape1169]

See if you can get a history book on what we colloquially call 'The Spanish Inquisition'. And it was not entirely Spanish.

[@josemalave1322]

Those priests in the 1850-1860s weren’t Spanish priests. They were Mexican priests, who were raised of mixed blood in the aftermath of the Spanish rule. If you destroy the other cultures, culture war essentially disintegrates

Speaking of the Acoma… in Abq, there was a merger between the Acoma elementary school and the Juan de Oñate elementary school, in which they wanted to get rid of the acoma name and keep the oñate name. Onate conquered the acoma… yeah that didn’t go down well. There are still lots of people who are proud if their spanish heritage and there’s definitely an air of superiority they hold themselves with that is offputting

As we just seen what happened with the LA city council these Latins are not giving up on Indigenous erasure in the Southwest through avenues such as "latino/Hispanic/Latinx" heritage within the United States.

The saddest part is that this was normal for all humans all throughout history, and it is even normal now for some. This is nowhere near to be an exception or unusual behavior, peace and understanding are the unusual

[@Swordsman52]

I like how you wrote this out as if we don't have documental evidence of the Spanish Court telling their representatives in the Americas to not do this. So, you mentioned this was common. I would argue no, there actually has been no similar event in written history. The technological and organizational gap, combined with virgin soil epidemics, turned New World colonization something unique in written Human history. Colonization in other instances did not result in the essential eradication of the Natives the way this did, not in Africa anyway. You may be able to make the claim with how Japan became Yamato or China(mostly) Han(I am not a East Asia specialist, there are people who disagree with this assertion, especially those who lump all East Asians as one "race"). But otherwise the +result+ of the colonization project in the Americas was fairly unique. The levels of enslavement dwarfed that of, say, the Roman conquest of Gaul. Unknown numbers of peoples were genocided without ever having seen a white man thanks to the continents becoming awash with European arms. At the end of it, Native people are so rare in North America that most non-Natives sort of assume they no longer exist. You can't really make this claim with Africa or Asia.

[@josemalave1322]

I’d like to jump in here before things get too crowded. There really is very little saving grace for the behavior of many of those Spanish conquistadors, particularly after the settlement of regions. The Spanish were brutal, and made an effort to wipe out cultures, and integrate them into Spanish society. The cultures that we are able to name today like those mentioned in the video were the cultures that were able to resist full integration, pointing to countless others that were absorbed into Spanish colonial culture. I want to warn against using this as a justification or excuse to hate Catholicism or Latin Americans today, as even by the 1810s and 1820s, most of the integration the Spanish seemed had already been realized, where most were already generations removed from the vast majority of the bloodshed and brutality committed by the original colonizers and conquistadors. Today the populations of these countries represent not only a blending of the European and American cultures, but their own evolution of those very cultures. As for Catholicism, this is not even the worst that was committed by some perversion of the faith, but at most, we should use this as a lesson not to glorify the actions of those ancestors, and to understand the reality of what they did, while taking note to never repeat them and learn from their mistakes and misinterpretations.

I don't think the Tainos are survived by any of their children. From what I've been told (Cuban Tainos) they we're completely wiped out. The Ciboney we're also almost wiped out with a very few families still able to be called desendants.

[@thetalesofdaneandco]

From the Taino Wikipedia article, which in turn cites articles from Smithsonian and Newsweek among other more focused published education papers: Some anthropologists argue that the historical Taíno peoples no longer exist and that they gradually blended into a shared identity including African and Spanish cultures. However, there are a number of people who identify as Taíno or claim Taíno descent. Most notably, in subsections of the Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Cuban nationalities.[5] Many Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans have Taíno mitochondrial DNA, showing that they are descendants through the direct female lines.[6][7] While some communities claim an unbroken cultural heritage to the old Taíno peoples, others are revivalist communities who seek to incorporate Taíno culture into their lives.
