Who Were The Iroquois? The 17th Century Tribe Who Resisted The French | Nations At War | Timeline 

No ur not gun chill out suit case ale! 😅

That’s incredibly cool. I’ve always had great interest in the natives of America, specifically in my home state of NY. If you’re interested, a channel called historia civilius made an amazing video abt the Iroquois confederation, I think you should watch it.

@@michaelmaz6833 family history says that Franklin used the Iroquois confederacy in the US constitution after being told how it worked by Skenandoah, who sat on the grand council of the Iroquois. The book on their friendship calls it “the remarkable friendship that may have changed the course of American history”. The book starts off with the story of Skenandoah teaching Franklin how to swim when they were both 10yo. I’m now 75, and was adopted as an infant. I just learned of my birth fathers side after doing the 23&me dna test. I met my birth mother when I was 30, and learned that I’m also a descendant of Chief Bull Bear of the Lakota.

@@susanmercurio1060 have you read “Franklin listens when I speak”?

Maybe the woke aswipes should tear down that statue for just what ever reason

@@sluggish7434 I’m fully aware that our nation’s history has not always been fair to minorities. I also work to make things fair for all. Very proud to be what you may call woke.

The book Franklin Listens When I Speak tells of the friendship between Ben Franklin and Oneida Chief Skenandoah. The Chief sat on the grand council of the Iroquois Confederacy and explained its workings to Franklin. Skenandoah was my 4x great grandfather.

Makes a nice change

She has a very charming manner. I've watched a few of her videos and enjoyed all of them. I think it's a combination of the everyday but alien subject matter of Russian City Life and her straightforward manner and quiet confidence. You Tube at its best in my opinion.

You have to select first for cars from the grid to verify that

Are you sure? (Haha.)

His intensity scares me

I make native weapons and armor they used to wear and use even though I don't sell my stuff I am thankful for having a grand father who showed me what I know and how to do it even head dresses I made are getting attention from some hi up places that look into stuff natives had and used

My name is Jeff

You must have a good collection of musket balls to go along with it.

How did you manage that. I always wanted a true arrowhead. My father had one made of bone from his grandfather in west Virginia around 1910. It was stolen after my father passed and it breaks my heart . What did the Iroquois use? Flint ,bone ?

I'm pretty sure mine is bigger

A friend of mine worked on that film & he said Wes Studi was the nicest person you might ever meet.

I actually find it very boring. But again it's good to learn history 😌

@@coldsun5495 same. there's nothing really new or interesting about them

I do too, but I resent the fact that it is largely whitewashed to make the natives sound inocent and virtuous. This documentary shows they were just like any other men.

@@PappyGunn in reality they stole each others land and enlvd each other.

@@the-based-jew6872 in reality GFYS

I found out my paternal grandfather's side was all French Canadian fur traders and probably missionaries blended, mostly assimilated with Iroquois - one entire branch was killed by the Iroquois - most settled in Trois-Rivières. My great great grandmother was supposedly full-blooded Ojibwe. There is not nearly enough information out there about the indigenous nations.

Same!

Same

Yep! I would like to see films as good as the 1992 Last of the Mohicans cover more of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.

I agree, the Mohawks get little media coverage of their across the border trafficking around the Cornwall area.

@@PappyGunn LoL, it's ok like that. It is call free enterprise

My Grandfather was full blood Mohawk we always believe he was Italy but found out 25 years ago he was from tribes of the Mohawk and adoption into the Senator Bakers family from Boston

You are right the Hurons are more business-like same as the Crees, you Mohawks were used like a Waffen SS troops to do a Genocide on the Algonquin tribes on order of the British, so you are now on stolen Huron land claiming it to be ancestral....

Im mohawk. Brantford 6 Nations and Bay of Quinte.

Unfortunately in many societies today there seems to be an unending use of laziness when pronouncing many words of any kind . Here in Canada we do say "ear a coy" , especially around lower Ontario because we are close to many of this nations territory . Hope this helps .

then join APUSH thats all we do

Don't know how old you are but this was covered in my grade school history lessons circa mid to late 70's.

@@Kronaphasia Not sure how old you are as well and it was not covered in my High School history class. If it had....I wouldn't have left the comment I did. I take my hat off to your school for presenting another side.

Schools don't teach history anymore, now its BS socialist studies.

Can’t it would get branded CRT by republicans and banned from the school curriculum. They want to whitewash history in their own image (like their religions) so factual history is out.

I agree with you 100%. This stuff should be taught in schools

What is taught at school nowadays has more to do with people's political views than our actual history which some people find offensive.But to deny or hide it is ridiculous.The British committed lot's of atrocities when they were colonizing around the world but they are not ashamed.

My professor used it for my History 1301 class!

Ever read "The last of the Mohican"? Now you know who killed the others.

especially the big mac tribe. whatever happend to the mc chicken tribe

Easy to say if your kin hadn't been at Oyster River chief.

6 years before mine. Ile d'Orlean.

All sides? Where is the history of the Anendesti? AKA the Susquehannocks?

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x1RcFi_XzTw.html

my great(x3) grandmother on my mother's side was Native American; I was raised in central PA. & had to ask around to figure what possibilities existed for the tribe she was from; @ one point, I thought I might have part Iroquois lineage, but later I figured she might have been either Susquehannock or possibly Lenape (pushed westward when the Europeans started "settling" the lands

@@bob_greene My 3x Grandmother was Mary Hannah Woods who was full blooded Leni Lenape living in Centre County, Pa. She was born in the late 1700's and lived to be 104. Was a slave to the Spotts family until she turned 94 on Rattle Snake Turnpike. Family stories say they contacted her son to come and get her or they would take her into the woods to let her die there. The Leni Lenape aka The Delaware Indians were subjugated by the Iroquois and considered "women" but the Susquehannocks called them "The Old Ones". I asked a friend of mine who was 1/2 Susquehannock why the Anendesti didn't defeat the Seneca when they had the chance and he said "how can you do that to your children"?

thats a shame, im mohak, Iroquois we both lost great souls, good warriors should be remembered,,

What you never saw the movie ‘The Last of the Mohicans” (there have been 9 adaptations since 1912). Once you see that movie, you go to the History books.

William, make sure you spread the word as I am tired of your fellow countrymen constantly claim that Americans are ignorant of history and spread lies. When I read comments on other similar topics I just laugh at the stupidity of Brits. Look up Tecumseh and his Dad. More bloodshed because of your Country.

Yes they were not stupid. Call a truce in order to rearm.

And we're rearming. In a peaceful ways they have money, and our Gold.

Hes freaking hilarious and dramatic !!!!!

LOL!!!!

Same ole chit as today….history repeats itself

Untold no longer.

@@suspicionofdeceit Right. I looked on-line for it about twelve years ago, but found nothing. The 2012, 200 year anniversary produced lots of video documentaries. I have since watched a few. None so far recount the journey of the 60th Rifles going to Winnipeg marching north of the Lakes. Civilians going out to Red River Colony went south of the Lakes. The 60th Rifles, ready for a battle, weren't allowed into the USA.

Amazing isn't it how times change. We stopped some hundreds of soldiers in a place very few lived and allow literally millions unarmed people to invade where millions already live.

Go to Winnipeg and you'll never hear the end of that particular story...

The Selkirk Expedition to the Red River Because of his positive experience with the de Meurons, Lord Selkirk sent an agent to Switzerland to recruit civilians to emigrate to the Red River Colony. After the War of 1812, a hundred men from the disbanded Swiss regiments were hired by Lord Selkirk to accompany him there. After occupying Fort William, a small detachment of 30 soldiers and 2 officers continued west and entered Fort Douglas by the Red River, re-establishing order. Some of these soldiers stayed on as settlers. Today the Avenue des Meurons in Winnipeg, Manitoba and the Point de Meuron nearby are reminders of the Swiss regiment's settlers. In 1821, after a journey of unremitting hardship, 180 new settlers arrived in November, only to find that no cabins had been built for them. Nor were there enough provisions. About half of the new arrivals had to set off for Pembina near the US border, where conditions where believed to be more favorable. Three years of flooding and plagues of locusts drove most inhabitants of the Red River Colony to greener pastures. Peter Rindisbacher, who had at age 15 come with his family to Red River, made a number of watercolour sketches of the Swiss immigrants' journey. His depictions of Indigenous and trader life on the prairies are a valuable historical and artistic record of that period.

Do you have Iroquois ancestry? Or is this random?

PSA: Anyone born in the Americas is Native American. Always check the box on all applications.

@@mutiny_on_the_bounty no. They are different, one is a thief .

The Algonquin?

No, Le Renard Subtil.

Well, tell us everything you know now or get capturen!

Keep telling your stories brother!! Keep your blood alive !! God bless and keep you!🙌🏽🙏🏼

So..are you dutch or an american

Fascinating history that should be taught as a true education for the youth of Canada and the USA.

There's nothing Dutch about you.

People don't 'need to be' taught anything, history is a rich tapestry which people can learn from at their leisure, selecting the parts they find interesting. Forcing people to learn history usually only makes them resentful, better they come to the topics they like on their own

@@AeneasGemini I disagree. Could you imagine if a Zoomer didn’t know what WW2 was? Some history particularly relevant to your country and the world should be taught to students. The rest of it can be learned at their leisure.

@@kingstarscream320 I know people that don't know anything about world war two in their 20's and 30's. Those in-charge of the education system don't want kids knowing how much socialist in America mirror the NAZI's. Now we have socialist studies. History class is now a in home education. My wife found that our kids and the neighbor kids that come over enjoy her stories of history. She is a history buff and knows her stuff.

History University their is no such thing as indigenous Americans unless you are talking about the wild life in America. Yep she does 1,000,000 BC prehistory to. Did you know the very first people that stepped foot on American soil was seal hunters from Europe that predates the land bridge bunch by 4,000 years.

@@neganrex5693 There is evidence for the first "discoverers" of the Americas from several areas (South pacific islanders, Solutrians, Sea-faring people of Japan/Russia.

My family is from Johnson Hall where Molly Brant had 8 of her children with her husband, Sir William Johnson. Her brother was Joseph Brant. Great story!

Harmony? With virtually no medicine or technology, they were extremely subject to famine, disease and debilitating injuries - just like every other culture that existed at that technical level in human history - from Africa, to Europe to Asia.

You honestly think these tribes were at peace? Everyone just got along? How naive.

@@fugoffazshoel6357 Never said that BIMBO, I'll dumb it down as you obviously need that. I said they lived off the land with out ruining it. There, simple words for a little brain.

​@@WERob-to5sp Harmony with the land is living off the land without destroying or polluting it, that's got nothing to do with medicine or technology?

They were constantly at war with their neighbors and detailed accounts prove it. Then first recorded account of French contact with the Cayugas from the late 1600's was a war party that visited the French outpost on Onondaga lake, just returned from raiding Hurons in Canada. They had a young Huron girl with them of about 8 years old whom they had taken captive and she was being marched with them ultimately to their land further south along the northern portion of Cayuga lake, The French sent a young priest to go with them to see if there was a way to get her back through diplomacy at some point. (The Hurons were the ally of the French who themselves had come down from CAnada) He went on what he described in his diary as an exhausting, trek at a grueling pace arriving at dusk. He entered one of their bark houses and slept a bit, only to be awoken by dancing and commotion to find to his horror that they had killed and were roasting her to eat as a meal in honor of their strange foreign guest. Modern politically correct history of North Americans tribes is one of the most censored and invented narratives of any people in the world. Even Verrazzano's voyage from the early 1500's to the Caribbean found cannibals who killed and ate their enemies, including ultimately. Verrazzano himself.

He really spooks me out.

So…the longhouses existed before the Scandinavian vikings came over and brought their architectural expertise with them? 🤔

@@justforfunsies5000 How you reached that conclusion is beyond me. Grotius wrote his “Laws of War and Peace” in the early 1620’s, I think. Europeans came to Stadacona almost a hundred years before that. The Longhouse had already existed for well over 75 years before THAT. So what in blazes do the Vikings have to do with anything? They never ventured anywhere NEAR Longhouse territory. And what was the point about their “architectural expertise”? Are you seriously suggesting that Amerinds were incapable of building long wooden huts before white men came and taught them how? Sounds like a rather interesting world outlook, there, but it sure ain't mine.

@@LeCanadienErrant1 So you don’t know where the Eastern tribes came from? Might want to do a little research before tossing assumptions around. 😉 The Europeans and the Eastern tribes are related. You’re only going back 600-700 years instead of going back even further. Might wanna do that.

@@justforfunsies5000 Wow, THAT was an impressive detour, even if totally irrelevant. The “Eastern tribes” you talk of came from the West, like all Amerinds. There is some debate as to EXACTLY where they came from: it is physically obvious that Innu and West Coast Amerinds are of Siberian origin, but other peoples, like many central Mexicans, could easily pass visually for South-East Asians. Some believe they all came over the Bering Bridge, which sounds farfetched to me: I tend to subscribe to the multiple-points-of-entry theory (some walked over from Siberia, some sailed over from some Pacific islands or even from the Asian mainland). (Cont’d)

@@justforfunsies5000 (Cont’d) But the fact that these peoples have been here for as much as forty thousand years should be enough of a look into the past for you. Still, if you REALLY want to go back, the dominant theory is that we are all Africans. What I have NEVER heard is anyone claiming that our Amerinds were descendants of Europeans.

Cajun? Nice

What he was speaking about, was related to animals furs. An arrow left the fur much more intact and therefore more valuable in trade to the market ( wealthy Europeans). I hope that clears that up.

OUTSTANDING ✌️

You oughta get it analyzed by a lab!

@@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin this was almost 20 years ago and the homeowner took possession of it 🤷‍♂️. I wish I had given it to the university. I was suspicious the homeowner just didn’t want anyone looking into it just in case it meant work had to be stopped

Or maybe the home owner was a Canadian John Wayne Gacey and didn't want you disturbing his buried "trophys" in his crawl space

Yes. Yes what? They did have African slaves. 74 Native ways warfare

Yes. Huh? That is the actual title.

Yeah in the Daniel Boone TV ceael talks about this. Daniel Boone fitting 4 our rights

Such a captivating story! Thank you for taking the time to write it.

Good to know your Heritage to know that everything then comes out alright you seem to be a good person to know all this

That’s super random for this video

My grandfather was full blood Iroquois Mohawk don't know much about him. My European ancestry is French Normand viking which makes me Me'tis 🪶

I understand going through life feeling like your family line is a blank slate. I was orphaned at 5 and my father was and only child. May sisters and I had to move away from our hometown with my brothers remaining there with my dad’s Aunt and Uncle. Considering my maternal grandmother was the daughter of German immigrants born during the Depression, we knew of our ancestry through her but very little about my dad. Dad’s Uncle died of a heart attack a year later and our great Aunt died another year later. I lived most of my adult life not knowing much at all about my father’s side until the advent of Facebook. The only good thing to me about that horrid site is that it put me in contact with 3rd cousins who blew me away with the knowledge they had about my dad and his line. My sisters and I were always puzzled by my oldest sister’s middle name Lucinda. We learned that she was named after my dad’s great Aunt who was the daughter of a Spanish immigrant to Mexico. He and his parents emigrated to Mexico from the Basque region of Spain and settled in Tampico. His parent died from smallpox and he was left on his own. He joined the Mexican army where he rose to the rank of a cavalry Sergeant in the Tampico Regiment. He fought at the Alamo(yes, Remember the Alamo!) he went on to fight at the Battle of San Jacinto where Texas won it’s independence where he was captured. Being an enemy combatant he received a short prison sentence and upon discharge he joined the Army of the Republic of Texas. After two tours he was bequeathed 600 acres and then acted as a liaison between the English and Spanish speaking Texans. So yes, learning the story of our ancestry can be fascinating.

I was born in Auburn NY. We learned all about this in elementary school.

Not if the Iroquois are around.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪💪💪

The French allied with the Hurons during the French and Indian War. The Iroquois sided with the British. Because the Iroquois sided with the British during the Revolutionary War, some of them were resettled in Southeastern Ontario at sites granted in 1784 for the settlement of the Six Nations. The city of Brantford, Ontario is named after Joseph Brant, a Mohawk chief who was allied with the British during the American Revolution.

do you live in salamanca? i live in warren

@ philipmcluskey6805 I think the real tragedy for the natives of the Americas and elsewhere was that they had no acquired immunity to the nasty viruses and bacteria that had ravaged Eurasia and parts of Africa for generations (millennia). Even smallpox, fevers, plague, flu and cholera were still killing Europeans when they arrived to the "New Worlds" So, it is no great mystery why so many Native peoples died from the same!

"A *LITTLE* overdramatic" is an *understatement!* I was glad to see someone else noticed & commented on this, though. The narrator/host drove me so *ABSOLUTELY NUTS* I was tempted, many times, to stop watching; but the content kept me hanging on...

I suspect the producer and/or director was responsible (was to blame) for the comically over dramatization of the video. The host (David H. Lyle) may have had no choice but to move with about as much fluidity as Gort in "the Day the Earth Stood Still". "Klaatu barada nikto", anyone? 🤪 It's a pity, as the video was otherwise interesting and informative.

Totally! That main narrator needs to lighten up and cut out the silly melodrama. The video is great but he makes you want to quit.

@homeaccount7977 The American Revolution (1776 - 1783) was the war that really divided the Iroquois confederacy! Most of this video is about thetime before the Seven Years War (1754 -- 1763) aka: "French and Indian War"

@@here_we_go_again2571 yes, the French and Indian War was the time when the Onondaga ceremoniously put out the council fire, and ceremoniously dissolved the Confederacy, because the iroquois Confederacy weren't one tribe, the separate tribes sided with different sides because they were a Confederation of tribes in the same way that the Powhatan paramouncy was a confederation of tribes with the Powhatan tribe being paramount. When the war started it was every tribe for themself

I learned it in school . Grade school as a matter of fact . They don't teach history in school anymore .

I'm from north eastern PA and we learned a lot of this .
