[@specex]

Thank you very much for this documentary. My people are the Mi'kmaq, so it is nice to see their history being exposed. Grandmother was 100% and Grandfather was mixed French/Mi'Kmaq. They lived in the woods of northern Maine and I was lucky to spend three summers with them when I was a teenager in the late 60's. They had build their own house, grew most of their own food, knew all the best places to get seasonal food off the land like berries, mushrooms, and fiddleheads, and they fished and hunted. They hardly ever went into town, and that was mostly about getting staples like flour, sugar, coffee, and hardware. Far removed from this timeframe, but I will always remember my grandfathers stories about the Mi'Kmaq and the Acadians. They were very proud, independent, and hardworking people. As one of the earliest tribes to interact with the Europeans, they were open to them, but in the end the Mi'Kmaq were betrayed by all of them.

[@GranMastaDee]

In the 525 years since Cabot encountered the Mi'Kmaq, they've gone from a life of hunter/gatherers to an educated, provided-for with electricity, Hi-Def giant screen TV's, the internet, air conditioning, permanent housing, and as always, the right to return to their prior lifestyle at any time. So much for pride and independence now, what was the third thing again? Why not throw in 'industrious' while you are making things up?

[@specex]

@@GranMastaDee I'm sure the Romans felt the same about the surviving Carthaginians, or the Spanish about the Inca's. One would hope that most of us have evolved over the last 525 years.

[@GranMastaDee]

@@specex Although there may be behavioral or longevity type of changes over 500 years, any significant evolution virtually always takes place over much greater lengths of time. Your 'Roman' and 'Spanish' comment about their feelings leave me baffled. Perhaps there is some hidden message there (?).

With that said, during the Mexican and American war, there was an unit of the United States Army that was comprised mainly of Irish-Americans. Though some Polish and German Americans were in the unit as well. This particular unit was wholly Catholic. And as such, they were met with mockery, distrust and out right hostility by other soldiers. It was believed that sending them to fight Mexicans, who were fellow Catholics would not be prudent. Gen. Santa Anna, offered them land and money in Mexico if they switched sides... ultimately they took him up in his offer, and despite being defeated, General Santa Anna made good on his word.

There is something that is touched on here but seldom mentioned elsewhere. When the colonists arrived they found a native people who lived an advanced Stone Age existence. They had very little manufacture and no metallurgy. Trade with colonists introduced the natives to the Iron Age. But even then, the natives never learned to work the metal and were dependent on the colonizers and later the Americans to supply them with the weapons that they would use to fight against settlers. Disease did contribute to the demise of the native Americans but it was 300 years of warfare with each other and the Americans that weakened their alliances and civilizations. They soon not only became dependent on the Americans for weapons but clothing and food as well.

The buffalo in the USA were said to have been wiped out by white market hunters. When ever white settlers showed up the game disappeared and course the native peoples lost an important component of their food supple.

Just a couple things; Port Royal wasn’t the first European community in Canada. At the time that it was founded Canada didn’t exist but of all the current Canadian provinces and territories St. John’s, Newfoundland was the oldest. Established in 1583 by Sir Humphrey Gilbert for the British. Of course by the time that Canada became a country Newfoundland was still part of the British Empire and not Canada, but as I said; at the time that Port Royal was founded Canada didn’t even exist so I’m looking at current Canadian provinces and territories. Also, I’m Mi’kmaq and we tend to prefer not to have the tribe name pronounced as “Mic-Mac” because this is what lead to the European misnomer of calling the tribe Micmac in the first place and it’s just inaccurate. We pronounce our tribe name as “Mig-maw”.

Sir John A. MacDonald played a large part in further opressing the Natives in Canada by building the Railway across the West. He starved them into submission. But that's another story.

A few years ago. Driving down the country road I lived on. Going into town. About wrecked the truck. Seeing real live Buffalo. Screeching to a stop before hitting the ditch. There stood a few Buffalo scratching against the fence. Got out in total shock and amazement. Took pictures of a whole field of Buffalo grazing. Farmers were raising Buffalo instead of cattle. Wow moment. !!!!!!!

I wonder if they had resisted knowing their children would be stolen and put into residental school mass graves? Yikes

Amazing how everything about these peoples was obliterated. In South America, principally in Brazil, absolutely nothing remains of idigenous culture and world view, even though large part of the population have native american blood.

The history of my people, Creek Indian, is worthy of a video on your channel i believe..especially the murder & betrayal by Andrew Jackson. My gfather & father refuse to carry a $20 dollar bill because Jackson is on it.
