The First Nation Warriors Who Fought For The British Empire | Nations At War | Timeline 

not to mention great mini bike engines

Tecumseh would make a good candidate for being the face of the $20 bill.

@@kingstarscream320 damn straight. Should've happened by now.

Aye

Yup it is

The Iroquois, and other tribes of the area were forest Indian. They did not use horses. They went on foot, but could cover great distances. They were remarkably fit. The Iroquois were a martial society. Almost always at war. As a confederacy, they were united and powerful. They were sedentary. Their capital was Onondaga, where the eternal flame, started by Hiawatha burned. As long as that flame burned, the Iroquois would survive. There is a story about how it went out.

most of the fighting was done in Ontario and Quebec. We DID have our own war with the Northwest Mounted Police and Louis Riel. It all goes together. NOBODY wanted to share

Peaceful? Are you sure you don't live in Disneyland? 🤣🤣🤣

You can read all the Indian books you like, they were never peaceful

None of these goofy people would Ever live under the Indian culture. Ever

King Starscream ME TOO!!!

Lol, there was definitely racism 100%. Only a few of my elders survived it. You are right when you say survival. Just not the way you think my friend.

Humm🤔 Thought You were Asian

@@markv785 Groucho Marx

You’re crazy loco, confused youth

That would take away from the larger perspective

@@realdeal8303 how tf how?

The Native People have a strong oral history, and their way of life is to be respected and remembered.

@@spooky686 I respect their right to roast people alive for days until the flesh falls off their feet and legs. I also respect their their right to eat people sometimes forcing captives to eat parts of their own bodies. Yeah, those were the good ole days

Ditto this

Yes but they havent done their homework

Is Lyle the narrator? Seriously man, the guy looks and acts like he's hold the biggest bowel movement in, in every episode.

One tribe took slaves. The French side bought a wife. That's how.

Metis

Alot of Mohawks live alongside French people in Québec since that time. Started as enemies and then became neighbors, hopefully we'll ultimately become brothers and sisters.

It would seem some tribes took the British side and some took the French side. In the end, only Canada was lost

You look 100% European.

Who are still being destroyed in the name of civilization.

Nobody lived in Canada or the northern USA during the last ice age that ended about twelve thousand years ago. First Nations immigrated to north America from Asia.

There were those that came before them

@@Chewy_GarageBandDad yeah, sure

@@kenneth9874 😯😯You don't you know we rounded first nations people up when they had become inconvenient and placed them on reservations? 😯😯You don't you know that over the past 60 years 2 Governments have coveted that land? Didn't you hear that our Gov in cahoots with Canadian Gov have worked tirelessly to convince these peoples to relinquish the land, move to municipalities IN THE RETURN FOR discretion or some control over decisions within the industries that would take up the land, which, hopefully, would have helped lift these people out of the well documented terrible conditions they were living in? Don't you know that once the land was relinquished and said people living under government and municipalities, America would then send out the "White liberals" to protest and shut down the very industries the people were supposed to have control of to help them better their living conditions, and against formal protest, the white liberals would promise "other ways" or "other opportunities" for these people to lift their souls out of misery... NEVER TO COME TO FRUITION! Didn't you hear that it was, again, a sham? Sure, there are some things like control over some casinos that some first nations people have, but our corrupt government, which does nothing but invade and steal resources from poeple, is a plague, an out of control virus.. well, our gov allows that because.....they're using it as a means to transfer wealth. So, as I can see you were probably the teachers pet and sat up front in class so you could soak up all the education possible, it seems as if there are a few things you could still learn. Whatcha think? "yeah, sure"

WAAARR!!

Excatly what nature wants. Mix tribe

Jokers in a pack, this is History being righted or re wrote..or what ever

Cherokee were once a Great Lakes tribe related to the Leni Lenape , they were Algonoquian but not considered Iroquois.

@@disgustedvet9528 very good point. Before colonist created more contention, there was much more intermarriage---it was not uncommon for those captured during raids to be brought into the clans and intermarry. Sometimes Algonquian would intermarry. Sometimes tribes further south, like the Muskogee/Yuchi---another separate language group --would intermarry with Cherokee as well. They did not perceive the "borders" we have today. But most of us with extensive lineage going back to the colonial period (and beyond) can trace some Seneca or other Great Lakes tribes in our genealogy. Cherokee were considered of Iroquois descent, and the language reflects that. In think we could all benefit from more history regarding First Nations/American Indians.

@@morgainedepolloc4161 My Matriarchal linage goes back to the early 1700s primarily in Virginia and then the Indiana territory thus i'm sure an Ancestry kit would be rather interesting if you could count upon their accuracy.

The cherokee are not Iroquois. They were bitter enemies. The Iroquois..not iraqwa..lived in new york mainly until conquering others and taking their lands. Half of them sided with the English and half sided with the Americans. The Iroquois didn't fight in the southern appalachians after the revolution against Americans..which were not colonists after the revolution and considered themselves as Americans before the revolution. Only Canadians think of Americans as colonists because Canadians continued licking the backside of the queen on their stamps.

@@disgustedvet9528 cherokee were never a great lakes tribe and they aren't even remotely related to the delaware.

Have you had your DNA screened? I recently had mine and come to find out, all the stories that I heard growing up, our true based on my indigenous DNA from northern Mexico, my French DNA Canada, and my Spanish Roots also from Mexico period since then I've been delving into French Canadian history, indigenous Mexican history, and Spanish history in Mexico it's been very enlightening to learn where my ancestors came from. What I found most interesting is that my ancestors from the East Coast were part of the Revolutionary War against the British, Captain John Day, was a revolutionary war captain from Massachusetts.

Just like Elizabeth-Karen-Warren??

I'm half platypus and half bullfrog, which still somehow makes me 100% amphibian.

I am 100% Irish for my heart is 100% native American I was raised by Narragansett

TF you talking about?

@@GrayGamer889 The idiot read in the thread that the narrator was named Dan Snow. Know nothing, narrator is David H Lyle

@@lorrainearmstrong7587 Hey there, fool. Dan Snow is the guy at the start, not the narrator. He is the son of Peter Snow and famous in his own right as a proponant of history. Know-nothing.

@@lorrainearmstrong7587 Why are you so surly, Loraine?

That's the weirdest narrator. Definitely not a bot.

Several? Likely hundreds

I am just beginning to learn the history of the Mohawk nation, as I just discovered I am a descendent of Joseph Brant (my great grandfather) I will have to let my grandchildren who live in Ft Wayne about this local history.

That’s very interesting! Thanks for sharing that. Here in Ontario is a town named “Brantford”. After the Revolutionary War, the British allowed him and his followers to settle wherever they chose in Southern Ontario. Brant chose the Grand River and ‘Brantford’ became his chief settlement, as it was at a shallow point along the river (A ford, in other words) and a good place for him and his people to stow their canoes. These ‘Grand River Mohawks’ would go on to play a great role in the War of 1812 as well. Gradually, they gave away and sold land as the years went on. They once owned the entirety of the Grand River on either bank.. but it was whittled down to the current ‘Six Nations Reserve 40’, which exists today. Despite it’s diminished size, it is still quite large! We also have another reserve here called ‘Tyendinaga’ which is just to the east of Belleville. It was chosen by another band of Mohawks who had fought for the British in the Rev. War and so were awarded land. They chose the site of Tyendinaga, because it was the apparent place from which the legendary Deganawida “Peace Maker” originally came from. Not sure how well you know the story, but it goes that some time in the past before Europeans arrived, the Wendat holy man (Deganawida) came over Lake Ontario from the northern shore, which was the Wendat homeland, with Tyendinaga, being the supposed place of his particular village. He united the Iroquois into the Five Nations Confederacy (later six).

In Canada? Or are you talking about the US?

The Iroquois were no match for New France.

He died a couple years ago. A true Kanienkahaka. RIP Lasagna.

@@gabfortin1976 😢😭😢

F that guy

This CT is so confusing hahahah

@@giovanne2143 YOU EVER HEAR OF CHIEF SukkAbiggin?

The communists are selling infectious blankets to the natives again.

@@thelatearthurmorgan6158 That actually never happened. That is fake News.

@@ontariobushcraft536 I know. That's not the point i was making though.

The Mohawks are part of the Iroquois Indians that originally lived along Lake Ontario and near the Mohawk River. Around 1600, five tribes -- the Mohawks, the Oneidas, the Onondagas, the Cayugas, and the Senecas -- banded together to form a confederacy. ... These people called themselves "Haudenosaunee" or "people of the long house".

@@algrand52 I know all that. And how Hiawatha united the warring tribes. BUT, my question was about the Covenant Chain alliance with the British. I think it was between the Brits and the Iroquois, and not just with the Mohawk. Which is it?

Yes. The Covenant Chain is with the whole confederacy not just the Mohawks.

@@karoniesthompson4355 Thanks for confirming what I thought I knew.

Can’t have what you don’t have. Never

Yes; Survival of the white race 😄. No I'm just kidding.

Every single white American has European ancestry. Doesn’t make you European today however. Americans are their own special breed

@@dean8147 "White" is a nebulous designation, often used to promote racist or political agendas. European is a geographic identification plain and simple. People from Europe "specifically" ventured to North America "specifically". The documentary delves into the friction and alliances between those native to North America and the European colonizers in areas seldom covered.

@@markv785 Far from ancestor "worship", this doc enlightened me about my European-American ancestor's misdeeds towards Native Americans and other Europeans in America.

Or magella tv ? Too many to choose

Rather depends which side you were on at that time

Always remember the winners write the history. However the information parted here is some what new.

WAAARR!!

LOL nice of you to assume that Canadians have no clue about OUR history. And yes, I am acknowledging this is American. Americans have ZERO clue about history

@@lorrainearmstrong7587 wrong.

He is not reading at all.

that makes him Irish

@@ottomeyer6928 technically

He wasn't a chief. His name was Tyendinaga. After converting to Christianity he got his christian name, and because he converted under the Brits they gave him Brant most likely a popular family in the area where the people who converted him were from.

As a dutch american there is some shame in my heritage. I also believe all heritages have some shame. What is greater than the shame is the tragedy of what past Americans and recent canadians have done to the last of the lands of the first nations peoples. I firmly believe there are many stories (truths) that need to be told and the lessor names that defined the moments. From the perspective of the nations peoples. Journey well.

Try 'David H Lyle'. Right at the beginning

He seems to have left that out, the Wyoming and Cherry valley massacres were the reason Washington sent General Sullivan out to destroy the Iroquois.

And you believed that nonsense?

I think they plucked it out instead of shaving

@@lookatthestateofyourkneesl7877 ouch. Guess sharpened flints could work, but I’m not sure which sounds worse.

Knapped flint or obsidian can be extremely sharp
