As hard as it is to accept, Parker did the right thing for his people. I am Choctaw+ Cherokee from my maternal grandfather and he raised me. My name means Shield Wolf the right arm of the family, I am the first born of both sides of my generation. So I speak as one who realize that he did the very best he could for his people. Change was coming and would not be stopped, change with it or perish. What a story, what a man. I love his response, you tell me which one to throw away, LMAO. That's classic.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Dwayne Kristopher I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Control, destroy, this was a crime against humanity. Thank goodness for Quanah Parker, Washakie, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, Crazy Horse, etc., what wonderful people.
The plains Indians were conquered plain and simple. This is the story of mankind and it is the same the world over. Both sides of this conflict were immensely cruel but these cruelties were inflicted Indian on Indian long before the white man came along. If the plains Indian were agrarian in nature, had centralized governments, and established borders things could have been different. Instead, they were nomadic, never in one place for a long time, fought amongst themselves, and never established clear boundaries or borders that would have conveyed to the whites the land was spoken for.
@Lee Francis "the world is more peaceful" what world is that ? cant be this one. Everybody learns about Holocaust, but not about the biggest genocide in history.
Wow the older guy in the red reminds me so much of my grandpa I am from the border of Mexico in the United States I've always been told I'm by my frends that we r Chicano I've done my Ancestry DNA it says I was 55% Native American indian I don't live on the reservation but deep inside I know I am something I love the Native American culture everything is stands for
of course bud if you were born on the north American continent that's means youre native. Before europeans this land had tribes from top of north America (Canada) to the bottom of South America (Chile). No borders or anything so imagine all the free trade.
This isnt about your people. You are black . The Indians did not respect blacks in fact the Cherokee had more slaves than anyone so if you're proud of being a slave I guess but other than that they are not your people.
@@lemjones9464 hi! Lem !! check out Quanahs genealogy ! At Geni dot com! See where you are in the family tree?! If you’re missing in the tree you can simply sign up for free and add yourself where you go the curators will authenticate and wow! It’s just the coolest thing! To see how Cynthia Ann’s genealogy goes to European Royalty and also How Peta Noconas father iron jacket is shown . I love it! Hope you might too!
This is a fair and somewhat fanciful presentation of what really happened in those years when the Comanche, the Nermurnuh, were defeated and Quanah brought the Quahadi in. Quanah was every bit as brilliant as this seems to make him. Read Feherenbach's Comanche and Gwynne's The Empire of the Summer Moon.
@TexExpatriate - those are two great books; i have read those and several others about the comanche. i quit watching this video at 01:38 due to false information - "the comanches followed the buffalo on foot from kansas to central texas before the horse." the comanche were in the wyoming area before acquiring the horse...
Quanah Parker was a great Chief with great forsight... Blending in... Saving his people from terrible trauma and death... He did the correct thing... I would have done the same thing....
Empire of the Summer moon is a great book covering the rise and fall of Comancheria, the Texas rangers (and some other interesting "taibos") as well as Quanah Parker. It is the first book I have read about the Plains tribes but it probably will not be the last. It was awesome, cannot recommend it enough.
Among the Apache published in 1868 by John C. Cremony is an excellent real time journal. There is also a book by Gen. Custer called My Life on the Plains that is an excellent first hand account that also shines an interesting light on the author as well.
Up here in Alberta you can pay the rancher to go in and harvest a buffalo . That was a few years ago and while heading out Elk hunting I asked him what was in the oven; a big buffalo roast. The smell was Godliness; it smelt soooo good and tasted even better.
Oklahoma police are against and racist against the native people. The tribes get federal funding and therefore bow to the government. You have to live in certain counties to get any type of help from the tribe and then its thru the federal government. By requiring tribal members to live in certain areas is no different from the rounding up that happened decades ago. Tribes put tribal land in trust of the federal government. Isn't that calling the kettle black ? Trust and federal government should never be tied together
Do disregard MRRoger's uninformed and emotionally charged comment; I for one agree with everything you say, and I'm a Republican. Less "federal government" involved in people's lives the better, and if we can't even do this for the descendants of people who were here long before any European and whose way of life influenced our current one to no end, who can we do it for?
Quanah was a very handsome charismatic man and did every thing he could for his people His wife Cyntia and daughter are buried next to anothet but where was he buried? I found where he was buried Fort Sill quite a big monument he was buried next to his wife Cynthia and their daughter Prairie Flowers As the 2 sons they had I don t know where they are The 3 tombstones have a lot of coins that Natives have left there I don,t know the meaning If any one knows? The video is called THE GRAVE OF QUANAH PARKER THE LAST OF THE COMANCHE CHIEF
My grandfather on ma's side was born in 1880. My grandmother told me that grampa Shelton saw Quanah and Geronimo in a parade in Ft.Worth,Tx. None of my generation knew Grampa Shelton,for he died in Nov.1950. ALWAYS A TEXICAN 'til the day I die!!! DEO VINDICE...
This is a wonderful documentary. I have just learned so many more things about the Comanches and Quanah Parker. This made me so happy. Thank you so much 🦋🦋🦋
Somebody had to be the "bridge" between the old and the new. He knew the country would never be the same again, and he tried to prepare them for it, that took some insight. Wow, what a life story. Amazing man.
I am a descendant of Robert M Jones lll . A half blood .The Choctaw and Creek tribes elected Jones president of the "United Nations of the Indian Territory," 1800’s
This video is very thought provoking. Having a Clash of two very different societies. It would be easy to Criticize either side for there Overall Behavior. But things are just Not that Simple. Best Wishes to all from Montana! M.H.
We as Indian people on Earth our Comanche brothers and sisters for their great efforts of the past in keeping the white invasive species rolled back for as long as they did if all tribes were is heroic as the Comanche people and his steadfast as keeping these white invasive species off our continent we would be much better off thank you Comanche Warriors of the past for your efforts Aho
It makes sense that He would lead them down the white man's road so to speak. Afterall, he was also white. I think he did what was best for his people.
When I hear of the slaughter my ancestors did to the native peoples, the buffaloes, the horses, the theft & rape of the land, I am ashamed on their behalf. It was unforgivable & now after such a history America still tries to tell the rest of the world how to behave. How dare they?
You only read the manipulating. The Indians was far worse in the tortures and theft and slavery. They practiced this on each other before settlers came. And the lands was one big war against each tribe for status and the lands. Currency was the raiding each other or any for status.! And taking coop was the torture of the Indians to any. But government and settlers took the blame for defense of them selves . It was manipulated. It was hostile to any in the country from the Indians tribes . Status .!
He helped bridge the two world's. Sad thing. Is at some point they would have had to go down the same road. The only reason that there are even tribes separated from the rest of the world. Is because after we did what we did here. Sugar business in South America wasn't doing to well. We looked at all that was affected, and realized it needed to stop. What we where doing to the people that essentially let us come over. Was what Africa had been doing to it's own people for 100s of years. Africa didn't stop killing there own people, and selling them into slavery until some time after the 2000s. I'm kin to Quana Parker. Im actually about to go see exactly how it is that I'm related to him. I'm English, scott-irish, German, Norwegian, and Baltic. I myself don't have the native blood, but iv got lots of family who is. It's a confusing geneology
Who else even shows the settler colonial nature of ‘Merica’ … When you go out to get breakfast and realize that all the ppl serving you are either the descendants of slaves, indigenous, or the progeny of European serfs….
The Comanche were the boldest North American Native tribe by far. They considered all other tribes as their enemy and had "Lords of the Southern Plains" written on their flag to prove it.
the comanche were allied to the ute in most of the 1700's. allied to the wichita in the late 1700's and 1800's. allied to the kiowa/kiowa apache in the 1800's. allied to the arapahoe and cheyenne after 1840. the comanche were not just great warriors, but also prolific traders; so, they were on again/off again at peace with several tribes.
All wars are “Crimes against Humanity” and All Peoples throughout history have engaged in it over territory! No land on Earth “Belongs” to Anyone, except that they are Willing to risk Death Fighting to Keep it… and Win !!… It is the Same with all Life on Earth and Always Will Be…..
Quanah seemed to as much of a businessman as a warrior. Perhaps more. What if he had decided to continue as a warrior and fight to the death, rather than submitting to the corrupt government and is own enrichment? No judgement here.. Just a question. "Me have earthquake in head".
The 1 drop rule is actually the opposite. Native blood by one parent of the original people does not make you a native. It is spiritually unlawful to mix the blood of the nations. Our demise came for disobedience to this law of Our Creator. This information can be found in the google PDF: 1908 version of The Testaments Of The Twelve Patriarchs by RH Charles. This guy preserved much of the Hebrew language that could not be interpreted in the original book, but all that they could translate with the help of the many half breed children is available for your reading. The remnant seed will be those who accept the TRUTH. Evrn those outer nations who took the oath of covenant with us...we weren't allowed to intermix bloodlines.. I have guilty family members and I APOLOGIZE for the breaking of the law of Our Creator. Embrace the truth so that so many people won't have to die from the soon-to-come righteous indignation.
@@Yiriyah girl/sir sit down Why are outsiders always trying to speak for us? He was Comanche. You can't deny his native blood. If it is not a white person it's a nega. Ugj
Very good, but a few things off, like it was her blue eyes not hair, by then her blond hair had darkened, plus she like all the woman had Buffalo grease in her hair so it looked different, she lived because the ones who were killing didn't have a problem looking in there eyes. And hers huge with fear and confusion were blue. That saved her life. Important little fact
Pictures show his mother with dark hair, not blonde hair. Her story is a sad one...from seeing her family murdered, then being kidnapped, to an early death.
My people the ASSINIBOINE were so named by our sometimes friends the CREE and it means rock people we called ourselves the NAKOTAH the northern people our SIOUX cousins called us the people of the far campfires the BLACKFEET called us the cutthroat people
My children have cherokee thier familly is from Durant olk. Thier great grandmother mattie smith married joe bilton. Thier aunt who is matties daughter says thier tribe or roll # was burned in some fire im not sure of details but would be interested to no of the heritage of my kids. So far no luck whst could i do to help them find out. If anyone knows whst im speaking about.
You look down on others because you hate yourself. Native Americans are some of the wisest people you will meet. These people; who are a part of my people are deeply spiritual. Wisdom comes from the GREAT SPIRIT!!!
And yes Chief quanah Parker had twelve wives and and they are all scattered all over the United States some of quanah Parker's family moved up to Canada the Mohawk reservation
And Quanah would counsel you to think a few pegs higher than you do. Would you rather be a native American under Chinese rule!?? Assimilation is survival!! You are a NATIVE AMERICAN! Do you prefer being a naive China man? I mean I'd LOVE to see Natives live BETTER here in America...go back. To the old ways ..but truly at this point it's an individuals CHOICE! SO BE GREATFUL FOR WHAT YOU DO HAVE?
If it says he was too quick to sell out his people I disagree look at all the tribes that fought against US government what happened to them they want the crappy reservations right they weren't allowed to stay in their own lands look what happened to the Apache look what happened to Geronimo look what they did to him if quanah Parker would have fought against them what do you guys think you guys will be today you guys sure as hell wouldn't be on the land that you're on right now the reservation that I'm talking about I know I live on a reservation play the Indians where I live they didn't fight with US government either they got a nice place or real nice place to call there own reservation oh trust me there's a hell of a lot worse places than what you got hell of a lot worse
Under whose rule they did protect oklaha?their rule or american soldies rule ! Because the native blacks had have the same destiny.they fought and killed for american benefit not themselves.shoud study their history more and better. blacks for independence war against british army and indians for civilization war against american internal insurrection.thank you
@@johnandrews3547 We came into THEIR land. We destroyed THEIR food supply. If we were never here, then the Comanche would have never touched the white man. Btw, I know your post is old, but you're a real dick.
sometimes I must ask this jesus...what did you to us? what did we do to be punished by your hate. You 'f'ed us jesus. Then I realize this jesus is just part of the indoctrination. And I rise from that, above that.....
