I hate how persistent the myth is that native peoples were primarily disorganized, sparsely populated, nomadic, hunting villages before the arrival of Europeans. There were some nomadic civilizations, but the predominant lifestyle throughout the Americas was largely agricultural, with large, settled tracts of land containing tens of thousands of people per city. In South America, the cities were even larger. It wasn't until smallpox, guns, and deliberate genocide fractured these populations that they started adapting to circumstances by becoming more nomadic.

To me the only solution to save Native American from poverty is to keep the government away from the dealing of reservations and officially make them as indipendent as all the other States of the US, with this solution i hope that the Native will be able to use their lands as they want and thus get rich and at the same time they have the exact same rights of all US citizen and perhaps they could even became politicians.

The Lakota tribe violently conquered neighboring tribes, refused to share territory or even passage without imposing steep tolls, and ambushed European settlers, garnering a military response. Don't try to play them as victims here. They were bullies who pushed everybody around until they eventually met an even bigger bully.

I see. destroying land, driving people into poverty, disenfranchising them, killing opposition leaders, breaking treaties, ignoring signs and pushing for privatization. the USA has stayed quite the same over the years.
My heart goes out to the indigenous people all over the world.

1803:
France sells the Lakota s land to the USA
1926:
Britain promises Palestine to Jews
2019:
The USA recognizes the Syrian Golan Heights as part of Israel
Seems like a trend. Imperial countries promising others what they don t own.

As an indigenous person not from America but from Asia, this felt so eerie, the idea that your people could be taken out and your culture being destroyed feels so wrong, I couldn t understand the sensations I felt watching this, I felt terrified

They did get people to organize for the Dakota Access pipeline protest, but they failed. It was just a spectacle. As soon as Trump took office they drilled under the river, and oil flows through that pipe today.

As a white man, raised in WA state, with the mentality that the tribes are the only reason we(white people) survived the conditions; the US' history with indigenous peoples makes me really angry.

Great video. I just wished you could've talked more about Sun dance (where you usually were expected to sacrifice your own flesh) or Ghost dance, that took much inspiration from christianity.
