The Most Brutal Battles In The History Of The Blackfoot | FULL DOCUMENTARY

[@armymom8378]

I love hearing stories of my Black Foot ancestors. ❤❤

[@markparker1353]

The Black Feet of the Northern Plains and the Comanche of the Southern Plains were the 2 fiercest Tribes in the Americas!!!!!!

[@Indigenerd]

You guys know that Blackfeet/Blackfoot are one word's though right? *sigh, but what do I know I'm only from there. like this comment if you are actually from Browning, M.T. or Cardston or Lethbridge in Canada.

[@historyattheokcorral]

We're using it as one word.

[@jimberlygridder183]

​@@markparker1353not si much fierce as just cruel. The Comanche were kicked around for age before the Spanish brought the horse. Then the Comanche mastered the horse first and it gave them upper hand and they then raided other tribes, stole raped and pillaged and murdered , and tortured their way around the territories.

@@historyattheokcorral Thank you OKcorral, I just ment the usage in this comment stream, sorry for being spicey. A lot going on for my people right now. Also, I have a bit of a pet peeve, I keep running into "Black Foots" that don't know anything about Browning or have no connection to the Reserves in Alberta. I never thought Blackfoot would become the new Cherokee.

[@kiasax2]

My great-grandfather was a Piegan Blackfoot man who was kidnapped by a Christian missionary couple and used as a slave until being shamed into sending him to the Carlisle Indian Industrial Academy. He gave me my name in a ceremony conducted by him and my Cherokee grandfather. My Blackfoot great-grandfather was very stoic man to everyone but me and my Cherokee grandfather. When he was with us, he had a great sense of humor and had us laughing constantly. Only 5 years ago I learned that he served in World War I as a sniper just as I had during my 15 years in the military. That tied us together in a very intense way that made me feel so much closer to him than I had even before. I have a photo of him holding me as a new baby and there are tears in his eyes. I'm sure that the idea of ever having a great grandson when he was kidnapped those many decades before had never entered his mind. He was a great man and was so very kind to me as a boy. Blessings to you all. 🪶🪶👍🪶🪶

Thank you for putting so much heartfelt effort into these videos.

[@Indigenerd]

Thank you for bringing up that there are four different bands making up the Blackfoot Confederacy. And if I may 39:36 Siksika sounds like (Sit-sit-ka) Kainai (Kai-ya-nie) Piegan (Peg-ann, yes like the witch craft one) Piikani (Pick-ka-nee) and Gros Ventre is (Grow-von, it's french) Also difference between Blackfoot/Blackfeet is Blackfeet or the Amskapi Piikani are in the U.S. and the other bands in Canada are Blackfoot. Thanks again, great video 👍

Prairie soot is hard to remove, its better just to accept it and move on,thanks for the story ❤

[@andrewrolfe4334]

Very well done.

[@-maccabee]

Sometimes My aunt, elizabeth used to tell me this story about our forefathers as a child before id go to bed

[@jacbauer2411]

Is this the same Bridger that had issues with Brigham young in Utah territory?

[@dunbar555]

Yes

[@jacbauer2411]

@ thx

[@tedfitzpatrickyt]

Fun stories! I think it's interesting how AI art generators make human eyes look like camera lenses

[@dominicconnor3437]

Seldom does anyone tell of the brutality of the native population.

[@OlliGarch]

Everyone was brutal in those days. Still are today if you think about it. It’s all about territory and resources. I would’ve brutal too if someone tried to take my land and yes that includes the native amount themselves as well. Shows even how bad and hard we have it now things can always be worse.

[@User_1dashzero]

@@OlliGarchsome were more than happy to sell their sacred lands, but the part that follows up is what gets the most attention. Trail of tears. History is hard for a lot of people to understand because the common person is just going to pick and choose what they react to in historical texts. I don’t know, maybe I’m not even doing that great of a job explaining lol

[@xavierquinonez9883]

Then how did they become synonyms with the term savages? Viewing indigenous people as humans is a new thing.....

[@xavierquinonez9883]

​@@User_1dashzeroThe trail of tears was done too the tribes that aligned with the colonizers/had treaties with them....... And lands were commonly sold by those who didn't own it or were even enemies of those who did.

[@OlliGarch]

@@xavierquinonez9883 because all humans are savage throughout history.

[@nicknite7475]

Why haven't there been any movies focused on historical battles or conflict between tribes. The only one I can think of is Last of the Mohicans, but the conflict was just background to the main story. Westerns usually focus on the same trope of Native American vs. White Man or white savior complex etc. Not complaining but it would be a different approach...film wise.

Wouldn't none of that woke stuff work back then

[@OlliGarch]

😂😂😂 nope don’t think so.

[@CaraJoyy]

SO TRUE!! What a brilliant statement. Really gets down to the heart of the matter regarding this 2 hour long series of stories. Thank you for the thought provoking contribution to the conversation and humanity in general. Incredible work, bud.

[@mr.newmanthadreamer8434]

But who lost more in the end? The white settlers of the Indigenous?

[@jessecooper9795]

@@mr.newmanthadreamer8434 the natives lost way more. None of that pertains to wokeness though

[@jessecooper9795]

@CaraJoyy spoken like a true Harris voter 👏 🤣

[@AndrewC.McPherson-xf5zw]

Folks will not like you infringing on their land stealing their food and other stuff.

[@wildcat8598]

Very true but that’s been a fact/way of the world since the dawn of mankind. Even till this day it’s not about what you can get, it’s about what you can keep and defend. People being conquered has been the harsh fact of life since it’s beginning.

[@BroMark1611]

It is scriptural that the land be taken by decree of Almighty God. Genesis 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

[@Indigenerd]

@@BroMark1611 That whole manifest destiny thing were your god wants me and my people dead and gone, never really sat right with me.

[@Davidf8L]

Thanks for that, i agree ​@@Indigenerd

[@Swoobdude]

​@@Indigenerdyeah its really hard to be cordial when someone decrees that you gotta die cause their religion says so. Makes discussion relatively impossible when the supposed figure of the highest magnitude wants the other side dead cause divine will.

[@chicagogyrl4846]

Narration is not good.

[@historyattheokcorral]

Everybody else likes it.

[@ANCIENT-KABBA-ALLAH]

Thata a lie

[@karlgimmedatforfreemarx]

Images of Indians have clean shaven faces. Was due to styling or genetics?

[@Swoobdude]

I gotta say I have not met a native in the modern day with a beard. Im guessing it has to be genetics unless they are just really committed to not having facial hair

[@Indigenerd]

@ lol when your young it looks like cat fish wiskers and really doesn't look that great but hey some of these young guys rock it anyway. then when you get into your late 30's early 40's you can actually grow a full stash and goatee if you want. You see a Native with facial hair it's because they earned it! 😜

[@OlliGarch]

It’s in genetics. I have Cherokee in me and it’s took a long time to grow a crappy beard but I guess the European side of me made my hair on my head thin out. lol.
