It’s a shame they did not teach this part of history in school when I attended, but I am sure glad for your KZbin channel now!!😊thanks!

[@rolinmaiz1694]

I learned about it in college but yeah, sadly we know little of the ancestor's of the Native America people. This happens repeatedly through time. To the victor goes the pen, to the page goes THEIR side of the story. May we one day find our way to a better world, where conquer and conquest are a thing of the past known only in text.

Just the beginning from the heavens to earth the child was born a chosen one are strong one a noble one 😊

[@Ann-st8et]

I read it years ago. It's very informative and well worth reading. Native American history should be taugt in schools as a mandatory subject. It was shameful how the white man (I'm an elderly white woman) treated them. It was their country long before we got here. We arrived with our emotional bulldozer, attempting, and in some cases, suceeding, in wiping out whole ciltures. Disgraceful and heartbreaking.

[@petergambino2129]

Well take heart, it's your turn now. Soon every white Christian will be facing the same thing The Indians did. Nothing has changed since the beginning of time. Alexander The Great, Gengis Khan, The Romans, and the beat goes on. Well, except The Redemption of fallen man, Through Jesus The Christ.

[@dave-d-grunt]

The tribes displaced others all the time long before the whites came!

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

(I'm an elderly white woman) = yeah we could all tell from the self hatred dripping from your post.

​@@petergambino2129it won't happen as Quick as many hope. Still a lot of living to do first

[@DorothyMartin-xu2dw]

But they all ready act offensive when they see some of i faces like we about to fuck up some shit, do u go somewhere and first thing they do is check you before the other ones , get to talking to people looking at you. It stop a minute back but still I'm jest saying all my child hood. I dry been getting blamed locked. And get out truth come out and so on. I don't think they really like use unless they can run use,

[@korbinground8632]

Redcloud was one of my ancestors I heard trying to trace back to him. Which I think I would of found him cuz I'm back to the early 1800s for most of my family tree. I don't think he was immediate family but my grandpa's brother or cousin. I feel there is some relationship. I have my aunt working on it she works in the Beau of Indian Affairs.

[@mnpo8987]

I know a woman related to him and the resemblence is crazy. Black Elk is my relative.

[@pastel.fairy93]

My family and I are descendants of Red Cloud :) he is my 5x great grandfather

The Red Cloud School, a Roman Catholic mission, is still on the reservation and has served the community for more than 100 years. Do something for today’s Indian Children and donate to the School that Red Cloud asked to be founded.

[@jamesivie5717]

Your story is good, but the history is incorrect. Fetterman was not chasing retreating Lakota, he was out on a patrol to stop an attack on wood cutters. He decided to exceed his orders and pursue the Indians further. The Indians, hoping he would pursue, them set a trap wiped troops out. Red Coud was a great leader and did force the government to abandon the forts which were burned down He gained good treaty terms from the government. Later the government reneged and the Black his were taken from the Lakota. In my opinion we ought to give them back to the Lakota nation.

[@mistervacation23]

What about Irving 2 Smokes?

[@robertbertagna1672]

to the land the american indians have there birth rite to the land got messed over sad situation,

[@consco3667]

Which Indians? They were killing each other for a several thousand years before we got here. Then we had a civil war and after 4 years of whacking each other we turned on them they could not then or now unite under a single chief to push back. Tribal hatred is still alive and well.

[@Aldine281]

You don't need a big army to fight off. The enemy is all about never giving up and fighting smart with tactics and strategies, guerrilla warfare

[@jimfisk4474]

It's a long and terrible story the English in Spanish settlers coming to the Americas! They were brutal to the Native Americans! They made shameful second citizens of the American Indian! Too bad the Native Americans in the beginning in the 1500s didn't have horses and firearms and they would have wiped out the European settlers!! My great-great-great-grandmother my dad side was full-blooded Cherokee Indian!

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

Yeah, right. 90% of those "my gran pappy was an Indian chief' tall tales are all BS.

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

Well he surrendered so I'd call that "defeat".

[@grandmab4049]

Red Cloud did not surrender. Learn history properly. The US government couldn’t defeat him so they agreed to all his demands. In my opinion that is a US surrender!

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

@@grandmab4049 He signed the Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868 and led his people onto a reservation. That's called surrendering. Maybe you should "learn history properly"?

[@BreathIsLyfe]

We are a conquered people. Well WE all are now.

[@Aldine281]

How is that surrendering when he defeated the US army many times, to the point that USA couldn't kill him nor defeat his army and who came up with the treaty is wasn't Red Cloud but the USA army and government who came up with that treaty you know why because they Couldn't defeat Red Clouds army of warriors in order for you too surrender you have too completely defeat your enemy by having him killed and destroyed his army and have him and his army surrender by defending them and the USA army FAILED IN THAT that's why USA government came up with the treaty in hoping that the war would end in peace because USA lost they could not defeat him you need to learn real history and not your own opinion history

[@Cokehead_Drug_Addict_Zelensky]

@@Aldine281 Did he end up on a reservation or not? It's a yes or no question.

[@RamenDenominator]

Some of this AI art is very good, but a lot of it is terrible. Red Cloud deserves better
