On Saturday, February 6, 2021, the Oklahoma Historical Society Black Heritage Committee presented “Blacks on the Oklahoma Frontier: Lawmen, Outlaws, Cowboys, Cowgirls, and Rodeos,” the third Oklahoma African American Film Festival.
I had the honor of meeting and spending some time with communities of Black cowboys and cowgirls living the life from Muskogee to Okmulgee to McCallister(?). Wonderful people ❤ in the early 90s. Thank you so Much 🎉
If your mexican american? Then yes thank you for keeping the mexican culture alive since 1500s when whites and blacks didnt come into america till 1600s. The words rodeo and lasso are spanish words.
Thank you for sharing. We too in Florida have an African American Library with a wealth of information .As a retired educator I will be sure to add this to my studies Cynthia Anderson Spencer of Marquis Who's Who in America.
@@ChiefXAli Google dna of a mexican is 50 percent spainard european and 50 percent native american indian. Spainards arrived in 1492 and had sex with indian women and this is were you get mexicans. In the 1500s indains and mexicans lived in north america for 100 years before white men and black slaves came. The mexican sombrero = cowboy hat was created in the 1500s then white men grabbed the sombrero and made their own hat called stenson hat = cowboy hat making it in 1830 black slaves were still in slavery till 1868 being released black slaves went out looking for work and found jobs as cowboys. White men who owned ranches and were cowboys since 1830 gave blacks these low paying jobs and that is how black cowboys came about. Google when sombreros were made and also stetson hats created? Mexicans taught white men to ride horses. Mexican cowboys were called vaqueros since 1500s? Truth needs to be told before you spread false beliefs.
Why hasn't a major film been made of Bass Reeves? I guess if the film doesn't pertain to slaves, criminals or lackeys a Reconstruction era film won't be made. Just keep Tarantino away from it because...damn.
Exactly,🤷🏽♀️ so you know what we tell the story ourselves on our job to our kids an their friends ect......We don't need them to tell our story, we are done begging, they put what they want on the tv an big screen, black men in dresses, abusive black men, drug dealers, the good news is we have awaken we know what their agenda is..We ate going to be okay we are special native black Americans. Thankyou for sharing bringing up such a powerful observation.🙏🏿
As a Half Native American Half Caucasian Cowboy my caucasian Father always told me in our life and work there was no race we were all Cowboys and that made us a tight community and family
I wish more white men were secure enough with themselves these days to be that open-minded like your dad. It’s so scary that we are now stepping backwards instead of progressing forward. Your father was ahead of his time!!!!
Well that wasnt the case because your european father his type discriminated against black cowboys and cowgirls. And Native American is NOT A RACE NOR ETHNICITY YOU ARE A EUROPEAN.
@@charlottewenzel2005 that soft too many Black folks have in their hearts for white folks is literally killing Black people - any act of kindness from white folks towards a Black person is treated like an act of manumission - calm down - sound like that bed wenchy mating call -
Bruh stop calling and letting these people call us African Americans, that's a misnomer! They not calling themselves European Americans our Asian Americans! "Wake up" this our land we the true cowboys and indians!
Corey the goat the creators of cowboys goes to the vaqueros= mexican cowboys since 1500s when whites and blacks were not even in america yet? White men were taught by vaqueros in 1830 after the mexican and american war when white men came into mexico which became america after the war. Vaqueros who were mexican americans after the war showed white man how to ride and rodeo. Then in 1865 when black slaves were freed from slavery that is when blacks learned how to ride and rodeo. Spainards brought horses and cattle to america and spainards slept with indian women and had mexican children and were taught how to ride and rodeo since 1500s. Mexicans still ride in the southwest states and all thru out mexico and into south america. Its a way of life down here. America has urban cowboys like a watered down cowboy? in mexico they have the official and original cowboys who worked daily for a living down south?
I wonder if anybody would know anything about the o sage Indian tribe out in Oklahoma I would have been one of my second grandparents grandmother Indian
Love the video. I just subscribed to your channel. My dad was raised on a farm. I think he was a cowboy. He could do anything a cowboy could do. When he was in World War1 oversees military come and get him take care of their horses. They knew he was good with horses. When he came back from oversees he and his company refused wear their uniform. They were killing black soldiers in their uniform. My dad respected the cowboys. I do too
There’s no cowboys Without an injun Southeastern Woodland to be specific..Indian and native Americans are two different people. With assimilation and discrimination the black Indian culture was stolen …. My family been in Alabama and Georgia before the creek nation was even a recognized tribe. My Mississippi Ancestors were in Fanning and Jackson long before a European even came through
I'm sorry to bust your bubble but spainards brought horses and cattle to America in the 1500s there was no whites or blacks in America for 100 years? The word lasso and rodeo are Spanish words? Research in Google of vaqueros= Mexican cowboy? You blacks learned how to ride horses in 1865 after the civil war and white men learned after they took the southwest states away from Mexico in 1830. The horses and cattle were left and many Mexicans stayed north of the border in the land that's was taken away, those Mexicans who stayed were granted American citizenship when you blacks were still slaves. The vaqueros taught white men to ride, lasso and rodeo in 1830. Remember Christopher Columbus was the father of Mexicans and the mother of Mexicans is the native American Indian women. DNA of Mexican is 50 percent European spainards and 49 percent American Indian and 1 percent African.

Do your own research we are the indigenous people of the soil. we are the natives the Indians. We are not black the color of a crayon we are the cooper color Hebrews that the Bible speaks about. If your in doubt do your own research and Wake Up people. The Europeans subjugated our people in our own land, so sad.🤔🤔🤔
@@brasshound4442 That’s the mentality that was part of colonization you’re European and with religion you guys think God made everyone with the same and that ain’t it. You’re a foreigner just as much as Hebrew are foreigners. You guys really need to quit religion brought both melanated and pale European to America.. You really need to do homework and do your genealogy research I’m sure brasshound ya know you’ come from an immigrant background. Come to BigChiefUniversity.

@@brasshound4442 good answer obviously don’t tell someone to lower their self esteem just because you have insecurities and Truth hurt… Have a great day
@@Superior_Mindz88 Nothing about me insecure but you trying to take shots shows you are. I don't really care who was what it doesn't change anything about the future.
