'Springtime In Texas' or 'Walking Up My Hill'
I have a very interesting discussion with a man Who was up Medicine man for a tribe that mostly Was in New Mexico all the way said like Tribes there wasn't a fixed border where they only remained at but For the time that he was there he said that's their area and He was explaining to me one of the jobs that he did apart from Uh doing the things like praying for The sun going down and praying the blessings on the land as the sun would arise and so forth day after day regardless of where he was at Period he explained to me that one of his jobs Was to go to funerals And during the funeral He would be an even before that Um he would be enchanting spells that To binding attempts of witches trying to Take possession of the departed Soul How that worked Was that they would tell the family The one who've passed That they had taken possession of that Spirit that soul And made them a slave This s*** is a legend period to tell that Family member if they didn't pay them money it would make that Suffer Instead of going on to the happy hunting ground Period Um So he said over the period from the time he hears Of one of the speakers who died They began to give the The Spells of protection for And So forth and I don't know what was going on with my face but it was enough that he Responded like as if I guess get um It explained To say well it's a lot better than it was back in the day Period and I was like well what was back in the day Period and he said well If a brave died In Battle They would bring the body back to be burned And they would take the wife of The brave Who was still living And tie her to the corpse Period because the idea was If they left the woman alone she would become a witch An enchant the whole tribe Period So To make sure that wouldn't happen They would burn the body Of the deceased Warrior along with his wife Well she was still alive until she died and turned into Ash. He said he talked to some people who were Buddhists when he was in college and they said that in the ancient times and the Buddhist history they did the same thing back in the medieval and before the medieval. Now for those who don't understand this if you if you didn't an actual look into these things you would see that it wasn't just places like that it included places like the Vikings were very much afraid of witches they did the exact same thing and this was during the time of them also worshiping Odin not just in the Christian era. And many other places in Eastern Europe before the Christians took over they were doing that as well in those areas because spirituality was not something that arrived with Christians it was there long before Christianity began to take root. I would tell people to broaden their Horizons and look into it because when you do you're going to surprise you how many places around the world did the exact same thing if not doing it worse than Christians did or anyone else for that matter.
There's so much history involved from Palmyra to Salt Lake City even Israel.
Hi all friends as soon i will maked a new lyrics and song on this music because i love❤this music and theme ❤
Captain William Becknell was my great x 10 grandfather. I am directly related to him. My father has told me the tales passed down by his father before him of Captain William Becknell and the founding of the Santa Fe Trail. This video is mostly accurate :)
I seriously think 2 companies standing down and the account of captain soule and lieutenant cramer, i think there was a legitimate massacre. This video makes it sound like a battle, this sounds like the armys account (chivingtons account), it was a massacre. However the native Americans were not purely innocent before the massacre, they were actively hostile, raiding, and killing settlers.
Good video ! The pronunciation of Raton Pass is Rah - tone with a long O .
William.knife.man 8:58
Sounds like just a story ,and not facts
You have here invaders/colonizers who come to colonize/steal lands that belong to another people. The European-Americans never respected the treaties they signed with the natives whom they considered savages, that is to say sub-humans. The Americans had numbers and technological superiority on their side. Sure of their strength and their right, guided by manifest destiny, the "savages" then had no choice but to disappear whether they signed peace/a treaty or not. Today this tragedy is happening every day in Gaza, with the American army playing Israel, and the Indians playing the Palestinians. All this massacre is being committed with the military help of the United States. They committed genocide and now they are helping to commit genocide elsewhere in the world. Genocidaires one day, genocidaires forever. When you look closely, the history of the United States and Israel is similar; that of a population that came from another continent and mercilessly conquered the territory of another people. The United States, a country that committed genocide to conquer a territory, is now committing genocide by proxy by helping another country do so.
Please do more videos, especially of the later 1874-75 red river campaign.
Well done!
Visited the Alamo..saw a small room with bullet holes in the wall ..I was struck with nausea and dizziness..had to leave .
There is no proof Travis ever drew a line in the sand with his sabre.
If there are any plant enthusiasts here who have seen small flowering plants named xxxxx greggii in your local nursery, those are named for this Josiah Gregg, who made notes about the plants he came across in his wanderings. There are maybe a couple dozen such plants.
Being from south Texas, Love it, and we always remember the Alamo, but the men should have left, when Santa Ana told them to go... !! May god bless Texas.

It is continuously incomprehensible that that U.S. military/mindset of removing, starving, and/or annihilating the Indians to take their country/land happened let alone recently. Ego can destroy if left unfettered.... and here we are only 180 years or so later discussing a vital component of American history.... Still evident in existence of reservations, the federal government's control of reservations, and gleeful tactics of control with casinos and alcohol.

Thank you so much for this I have always loved stories like this
The U.S is worse than Nazi
That’s not where it happened!! It happened in an area know as Canon City, Colorado. The land was shared between the indigenous and a black cattle rancher. They live peacefully with each other and he had a family with one of the women. He was used to be harassed by kernel Chivington and his men. On the day this happened. The soldiers came from behind the mountain in a way they would surprise the rancher as he was known to stand up to them. The massacre started with them Sneaking up on him first. As he didn’t have time to warn the indigenous who lived on the lower part of the land. The land Sloped!, and was at the base of small mountain. NOT WHERE THEYRE TELLING PEOPLE IT HAPPENED!! I pray for the souls of those who wander the land still and for those who have incarnated and remember!

Music by America’s greatest composer, Aaron Copeland
Official investigations: As to Colonel Chivington, your committee can hardly find fitting terms to describe his conduct. Wearing the uniform of the United States, which should be the emblem of justice and humanity; holding the important position of commander of a military district, and therefore having the honor of the government to that extent in his keeping, he deliberately planned and executed a foul and dastardly massacre which would have disgraced the veriest savage among those who were the victims of his cruelty. Having full knowledge of their friendly character, having himself been instrumental to some extent in placing them in their position of fancied security, he took advantage of their in-apprehension and defenceless condition to gratify the worst passions that ever cursed the heart of man. In conclusion, your committee are of the opinion that for the purpose of vindicating the cause of justice and upholding the honor of the nation, prompt and energetic measures should be at once taken to remove from office those who have thus disgraced the government by whom they are employed, and to punish, as their crimes deserve, those who have been guilty of these brutal and cowardly acts.

that should of never happen chiviton was a hot head man
John smith...dum dum dum..
Nobody should have ever showed up to that meeting with that treaty. No one understood each other. The Indians had no idea what they were signing. And plus none of these Indians were in charge of anybody they were just advisors to the rest of their tribe they were not in charge the chief doesn't tell other people what to do he leads based on respect but no one has to do what he says one thing about all Indians no one tells them what to do
Don't colonize other people's land and expect no retaliation

The victor re-writes history-:Winston Churchill
The actual history is far more interesting and rich. The lineage of this song starts in Ireland with "Johny I hardly knew ye" an old war protest song, you can find Joan Baez excellent version here on utube, it crossed the Atlantic and became "When Johny comes marching home again", Dolly partons version is a great reference. This was a favourite whistled by Stan Jones as he checked his weather stations while working as a park ranger, clouds rolling in. He went on to write Ghost Riders for the sons of the Pioneers, a television band of cowboys who at the time were working as caddies at a golf club.
The American Native Americans were being starved by the American government it is the truth
Maybe should be renamed: That one time the native inhabitants resisted being routinely slaughtered themselves. USA did the largest mass execution. But the natives are the massacrers. For defending themselves.
No… this isn’t even close to be true at all. I’m guessing you haven’t been to the sites or read the books about this massacre? Please stop misrepresenting history. The conflict is very complex. Take the the time to study it before you make blanketed statements like that.
Feel free to retreat into the beauty of your Stone Age culture. Oh wait, you are typing on a system your people could never produce, living in a first world civilization unimaginable to your elders. Sucks doesn’t it?
We heard about this in school, but this is the first true documentary I’ve seen on it. Good job, and thank you for making this
