I live about an hour from the park and I used to come here with my family every year to see Thomas at day out with Thomas on the railroad, good times.

I live in AZ where we have all the desert mountains and are close to many national parks on the west coast but I want to visit Cuyahoga so bad! Thanks for the documenting and uploading this!

Did you make it there yet?

[@wolfy1987]

Man, they really glossed over the whole condemning people's homes/businesses

It’s water under the bridge now.

[@philzail2532]

Thank you for the best presentation I've seen yet. Covering the history and locations. I grew up in the 60's/70's, living near Dunham and Sagamore Roads. I respected and knew what a special place this was even back then.

[@culturallydifferent]

It looked so nice before! It is still really beautiful and we just love living right next to the valley!

Caught something on video @ roughly 53:31 in this video. Not sure what it is, but something appears to move across the screen.

It’s just an alien exploring cuyahoga. That’s all.

[@TurnipGreen]

Great catch! It looked like The Predator, right?

[@ABCLMN16]

Yes! The woman even recoils a little when it passes, like she got chills or something.

[@ManifestedSonofTheMostHigh23]

Can you at least be respectful enough to the Natives whose home the region originally was before they were ran off the land by telling us exactly what happened to them? Who specifically ran them out and to where? They mentioned that there were over 10,0000 people living there prior to the immigrant influx. What happened to all of those people? That is a very integral part of this park's / region's history. Your documentary just schmoozed over that portion of the story. Why is that exactly?

[@bogenious8474]

Don`t worry the Government did the same thing to my great grandfather and his huge farm that is now part of the park , no options just screw you have to walk away from it all so SOB -ing city rats from Cleveland can come and piss all over it , looks like they got back the same treatment from the government as the former park land owners gave the Indians

@@dh7164 Nicely said, But that still dosent change the fact that a selective history is being told! I identify as Caucasian and was raised as such yet my father was native. So my opinions I'm guessing align more with white people, I still have a problem with native history being erased the cherry picking and white washing. Being of native decent I am truly and deeply saddened that I can't even trace my heritage.

[@hermanmunster714]

@@THEOLYMPIAGUY360 if your dad was native, then you should be able to research the official native rolls, the feds maintain them.

[@THEOLYMPIAGUY360]

@@hermanmunster714 I was talking about pre trail of tears. Before the integration of tribes. I believe my father was Creek/Seminole from Sasakwa. Later adopted by a tribe in Vallejo. The government only kept records of the 5 tribes. But thanks for the info. I’ll have to check it out.

“They were ran off the land” would be considered bad grammar. “They were RUN off the land” might sound better, methinks. If only people used proper grammar in their posts!

Let us not forget that this mighty beautiful country is stolen from the Indians.

[@joeshoe5614]

Wow nothing says park like stealing land through eminent domain then putting in paved trails bringing farms back for funsies and the railroad must bring in some money too it's looks like they're trying to make some form of Resort with tax dollars I'm sure it was so beautiful back in the day but the lies told to the residents when the idea was first put into motion should never be forgotten they kicked farmers off their land burnt their homes and barns down now to bring farms back? Your tax dollars at work.

Stop smoking crack

[@xtontrol6058]

I live here and have explored most of the areas, especially off trail. Its weird, most of the homes and land they took barely gets used, its just overgrown or empty lots with no trails nearby.
