Bro you are an awesome story teller. Not even eleven minutes in and I have goosebumps. You’re one of the few youtubers that I actually think has a truly non-biased stance on history and it’s always fascinating to hear you talk about obscure/niche parts of American history. Keep it up !

[@NoReplyNeededNotKidding]

Seriously-maybe you already carry funny letters after your last name, but such in-depth and objective presentation of real history is at high level as basis of a PhD program. Thank you so much for your work.

[@barryballinger6023]

I grew up in Tulsa, which is adjacent to Osage County where all this happened. We studied Oklahoma History in high school for an entire year. I first learned about the murders this year.

[@cassiusclay991]

Can't imagine how much more is not taught to us purposely

[@datesanddeadguys]

It keeps me up at night…. Mostly reading…. So I can tell you guys.

[@juanrio55]

This government doesn’t want us to know about its dirty history

[@JoeRogansForehead]

Well the state/government has a vested interest in as little people knowing about this as possible. That goes for most of the history of Native Americans post European arrival. It makes the government look terrible 99% of the time .

[@matthewsteele8448]

Can't trust the government to teach history showing how incompetent it is.

[@LivingCrusader]

I'm glad I watched this before going to see the movie. I don't care about the possible spoilers. I'm also aware that not everything in the movie will be accurate. I just find that it helps to have context.

[@datesanddeadguys]

I think for historical films I like to know the plot going in. It’s fun to see how it unfolds. I found myself a ton during Oppenheimer waiting for events and the payoff being a good time.

[@Scrat335]

I had no idea. I heard about the murders from my mom and the movie but this is first in-depth material on this.

[@ryanocerus-qr8eg]

You make more content about natives. And I will keep watching. Much love from Oklahoma

[@datesanddeadguys]

Next three at least are about natives. In early November I will have a video on the Comanche downfall, then its a race between a bow I am making and talking about the Tonkawas and cannibalism

[@ryanocerus-qr8eg]

Copy that. make more content. And don't forget the Seminole.

I'm actually so psyched to watch these

[@soonerman3695]

As a Oklahoma native I can say we are full of lots of people who was put here from the all sorts of reasons and all the blacks, Mexicans and any people that wasn’t white or not welcome was put in Oklahoma so that’s why we are so different then any other state or place really. You will get the Midwest feel in the northern parts of Oklahoma and the southern feeling in the southern parts and eastern parts. One other people that are here most people don’t know about are marshal islanders. I believe they came over some from when Japan took over their homeland.

[@walkerroadrevivalrevelatio565]

[@dougearnest7590]

I'm glad to see that ad at the beginning of the video. I've started investing in paintings by some guy named Hunter. Strange thing, though, each time I buy a painting I also get a set of schematics I don't understand. I wonder if they're worth anything.

My paternal grandmother, was Osage and Ponca. Great material as always.

[@datesanddeadguys]

That’s interesting. I wonder how much of this she had known about growing up.

[@WallaceAhtone-sq6ty]

@@datesanddeadguys Sorry for the late reply. She was well aware of it and had told the stories to older members of the family. It didn't weigh on her as you might think though. She moved away from Ponca city when she was a teen and would marry my grandpa who was half Kiowa. The dust bowl was going on then and soon her husband would be drafted to go overseas, so she had other pressing concerns growing up. I wish that I would have questioned her on the subject, but I was too young to appreciate that kind of subtle history, to my regret. She passed on three years ago at 96.

Thank you for a fascinating video, with some excellent visuals. Not sure if you can edit but in two places there are missteps regarding the century cited. The opening shows the date as 2021 when you are talking about the 1921 murder, and, a few minutes in you say oil was discovered in 1997.

I agree with ya

[@ianpowell2562]

like the channel, and videos, but you did get the date wrong, you said 1921 but had 2021 on the screen, and at about 4.19 in you said 1997 not 1897 (or did i miss hear it) a little nit picking on agreat video (sorry). keep up the good work opening peoples eyes to history they would not no about and a voice to supressed people of the day, and to members of marginalized cultural groups of today.

[@datesanddeadguys]

You are right about 2021. I cannot believe I didn’t catch that in editing. Careless. But you are wrong about 1897… thank goodness. Thanks for watching. I gotta make my wife start watching these things before I put them out to catch my mistakes.

[@airdrop1670]

We had Oklahoma history when I was in school and not one word was written about how the white's treated the Indians back then , it was despicable to say the least . A family story told to me by my Grandfather , when he was a boy maybe around 1895 on the family homestead in Oklahoma a family group of Indians where moving through on horse back and stopped to pick apples from the orchard , grandpa ran to tell his dad and he said to grandpa , it's ok they were her before us , a kind man I'm thinking .

[@nicklasschmltt6959]

This is so heartbreaking and interesting. I missed what the name of the movie is so could someone, anyone tell me the name of the movie. I did understand him to say it's coming out in 2023. I love videos like this. I believe that a lot of people know just how truly our native American people were and are still done. I'm told i have native blood but there isn't any way for me to tell. My heart beats true for our native brothers and sisters. To me they're a beautiful people with the most beautiful culture. God Bless them each and everyone.

[@tonywords6713]

There are instances where genocide was official policy for sure but the murders do not appear to be one of them, often even going back to colonial times the process was much more multifaceted with greedy psychotic individuals doing the down and dirty work while the state just sort of had an unofficial policy of allowing it to occur.
