[@rachdarastrix5251]

Their lack of the combined minds needed to develop technologically was due to their habit of wiping out those they've defeated in battle instead of insubjecating them as was done in most Eurasion regions. The Zulu when the British discovered them were at the technological level that the Britons were at when the Romans discovered them because they at least could unite with other tribes long enough to figure out how to smith steel.

First things first, the Blackfoot is the loose term given to the three bands. We do not speak different languages, only have different clans. Siksika means Blackfoot, Kainaih means Many Chiefs (Blood is a nickname) and the Pikuni or Poor Robes only became northern and southern when the border was drawn between Canada and the US. Collectively we are called the Nitsitapi. We are one people in three bands. Sarcee were close alies, the Gros Ventre started as alies but by the time of the Battle of Belly River (Called Where We Slaughter Cree in Blackfoot) were enemies who had joined the Iron Confederacy in arms during the latter part of the Buffalo Wars. Mountain Chief was a band chief of the Pikuni (My hereditary band) not Siksika.

Good to call out and dispel the myth of the noble savage. The Apache got messed by the Comanche, and in Canada we had the Huron messed by the Mohawk. In the PC times we live in, there is a lot of blame on the Europeans as the cause of the native woes... ignoring that the natives had their hands full with each other in ways (cannibalism, genocide, slavery..) the Europeans would associate with perhaps the Mongols. Iron age Europeans beating up on Stone age natives was inevitable.. made easier by the fact the natives did not respect each other and did not want to be a team making common front against the Europeans. That was the fatal flaw before and after the incomparable Tecumseh. To be fair this happened elsewhere.. else the British would not have been able to humiliate and rio off China, and the Arabs; the French the same to Vietnam and in parts of Africa; the Spanish most of the American continent etc. A sufficiently large technological gap plus local populations busy abusing each other made easy conquest over the centuries. The tragedy to the families of the affected at the hands of all enemies foreign and domestic.. unimaginable in its horror.

I liked this video until the last chapter about the (cringe) "Mayan Empire." Everything in this part is utterly and completely wrong according to actual archaeology and not the ignorant misinterpretation based on very obsolete data that you cite. To begin with, "MAYAN" is NOT the name of the people. Period. End of story. Jeez, this misuse of the word is a pet peeve of mine and everybody with ANY actual knowledge whatsoever of the actual historical culture and its modern descendants. "MAYA" is the name of the people, both singular and plural. "MAYAN" is the the name of the language family they spoke and still speak, and also of the script they wrote it in back in the day. So there is no such word as "Mayans", because "Mayan" is the name of a language (actually a family of related languages) so has no plural. Thing of it in the same sense as "Germanic" or "Romance". The proper term for the people, both individually and as a whole, is "Maya". Second, the apparent agent of Teotihuacan who conquered Tikal was NOT named "Smoking Frog". His name was "Siaj K'ak", meaning "Fire is Born". The "Smoking Frog" moniker was from WAY back before any real decipherment of MAYAN script was done so folks were called after what the undeciphered glyphs in their names looked like to whoever 1st recorded them as historical figures. This, along with the names of many other figures from MAYA stelea have LONG SINCE been redacted in scholarly works as their name glyphs have been deciphered. Third, the jungle that now shrouds all of Maya territory DID NOT EXIST back in the Classic period, so the whole narrative about sneaking up on the city through the jungle is completely uninformed fantasy. The whole area was clear-cut for cornfields to feed the vast population there, and this population was spread out in countless small towns and villages between the major cities with all the big pyramids that were easily spotted and thus heavily excavated. But in the last few years, aerial LIDAR surveys have revealed just how densely populated the whole area was. Today's jungle is just the weeds that have grown up since the collapse of Classic MAYA civilization.

No were not. Natives tribes give each other descriptive names to identify them. “Blackfoot” was a name given to 1/4 bands that make up the Niitsitapi. Because all 4 bands of the Niitsitapi look the same and have same teachings, “Blackfoot” was a term to give to all 4 bands. The southern band of the Niitsitapi (Piikani) have two tribes - North Piikani in Canada and South Piikani in the USA. The South Piikani was called “Blackfeet” by the US Government, when in reality, they were called “small robes” or “poor robes” by the other tribes.

[@juiceman104]

If you don’t want to read all that I’ll simplify it; 4 bands make up Niitsitapi 1) Siksika = Blackfoot (Northern Alberta & Saskatchewan) 2) Kainaiwa = Many Chiefs also known as the Blood Tribe (Central Alberta & Saskatchewan) 3) North Piikani = “Small Robes” “Poot Robes” or “Scabby Robes” (Southern Alberta & Montana) 4) South Piikani = “Small Robes” “Poor Robes” or “Scabby Robes” (Montana) commonly referred to as “Blackfeet” by US Government because we all look alike.

Sorry, man, but that whole Maya obsession with blood is a little much. The Comanche, for example, were brutal, but their artwork didn't concentrate on skulls and depictions of torture and they didn't bathe in blood or skin people and then wear their hides...

[@blacksnapper7684]

How do you know? The Comanche where known to use fingers a jewelry, the culture surrounding the Mayans and Aztecs where surrounded by blood and death, just because you can’t handle this doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be said…

[@maskcollector6949]

There's a lot more stories of Comanche's being wild and violent than anything else.

Can't hear a damn thing you're saying you got to whisper so I guess you don't want to put on the show so I guess I'll go watch something else

Turn your hearing aids up.

Are you sure you are talking about the Mayans 🤔🤔🤔....sounds to me more like Aztec behavior and rituals yet you refer to them as "Mayans" ....and Aztecs were located in modern day central Mexico ....(Mexico City)....mayan empire was more central and south America

This video lost me in the first minute - the Dog soldiers and Crooked lances were two seperate societies. The Northern Cheyenne Elk Horn Scrapers were considered to be the equivelant of the Southern Cheyenne Crooked Lances. There was one famour Northern Cheyenne warrior of the Elk Horn Scrapers, named Woqini or Hooked Nose, who rode with the Dog Soldiers (a Southern Cheyenne society) . Given that the Crow lived in similar territory to the Northern Cheyenne, would it not be more likely that this band of Cheyenne were Northern Cheyenne.? To add to the confusion there was also a Cheyenne Society of the Northern Cheyenne who went by the name of The Crazy Dogs - not related to the Southern Cheyenne Dog Soldiers who were a breakaway group. Therefore, this fight was most likely a fight between the Crow and a agroup of Northern Cheyenne Crazy Dogs.

False.

@@historyattheokcorralIs that all you can say? No counter argument? I have researched the Cheyenne Warrior Societies extensively but if you think I am wrong, you must give me your sources and proof. Elk Warriors Society also known as Elk Horn Scrapers (Hémo'eoxeso),[4] Bone Scraper Society, Hoof Rattle, Crooked Lance, Headed Lance, Blue Soldiers or Medicine Lance.[5][6] This society is found among both the Northern and the Southern Cheyenne. This was the society of the famous warrior Roman Nose, and also of the mixed-race Cheyenne George Bent. Bowstring Men (Hema'tanónėheo'o, pl. Héma'tanóohese - ′Bowstrings, Lit: those who have bowstrings′),[3] also known as the Owl Man's Bowstring, because it was founded by the Cheyenne warrior named Owl Man. This society was originally found in both the Northern and the Southern Cheyenne. Today it is only among the Southern Cheyenne[8] under the alternate name Wolf Warriors Society (Ho'néhenótâxeo'o) [3] for the Bowstring Men. The Crazy Dog Society developed out of the Bowstring Men in the 19th century through a vision given to Owl Friend.[8] Among the Northern Cheyenne, the Wolf Warriors gradually adopted the name Crazy Dogs (Hotamémâsêhao'o). Both groups - the Wolf Warriors Society (Southern Cheyenne) and the Crazy Dogs (Northern Cheyenne) - considered themselves constituents of the same organization originally called Bowstring Men. In the Northern Cheyenne tribe, both the Crazy Dogs and the Bowstrings or Wolf Warriors exist independently. Fifth society Dog Warrior Society (Hotamétaneo'o),[3] also known as Dog Men. This society was also called Dog Soldiers by the whites. The Dog Warrior Society was established by a directive given in a visionary dream after the prophet Sweet Medicine's departure. This society was originally found in both the Northern and the Southern Cheyenne. Today it exists only among the Southern Cheyenne.[8] Crazy Dogs (Hotamémâsêhao'o),[3] also known as Foolish Dogs. This society is similar to the Bowstring Men in function, but is found only among the Northern Cheyenne. Among the Northern Cheyenne, Dog Warrior Society and Wolf Warriors merged. This resulted in the development of new Dog Warriors, now called the Crazy Dogs. The Crazy Dogs are considered by many to be a sixth society instead of a branch of the fifth society.[8] "The...members imitate the coyote in their power of endurance, cunning and activity. They outstrip their fellow tribesmen in running long distances, playing games, etc. There are about 150 warriors in the society, and a head chief" (Dorsey, 1905, Vol. I: 19).

@@historyattheokcorral So I just saw that you deleted my reply to yours - just saying 'false' and not mounting a counter argument totally devalues your authenticity - in other words, you are full of it.
