One thing that seems to have been forgotten about the various Indian tribes is that they had an art of war. They were not just a mob riding on horses, but were disciplined and had tactics and orders, be it the Mandan and Cree fighting from fortified villages or in this case, the Cato, fighting with known tactics under the discipline of their chief.
We westerners were never taught about Indian wars. Some white historians even created the myth that native tribes learnt scalping from the early white settlers. We were never told that torture, death, rape and enslavement were expected in defeat by all native protagonists: or that they had been engaged in such activity for hundreds of years. Burning captured warriors alive was expected and the victim was supposed to take it without objection or crying out. This could go on for days.
A brutal existence where life holds little value, happy to read about it, would not want to live it.
Well told, this period was particularly bloody and brutal, I am kind of surprised that they did not make each other extinct! But they sure did try to! Thank you for another great post!
I'd never heard of the Caddo before watching this, and in my limited knowledge thought the Apache were the main enemy of the Comanche.
At least they didn't eat the Comanches like the Tonkawa

Man that chief was one heck of a brave man!!! Smart too!!! Cast iron balls brave!!!
Sad to say that I majored in history in college- graduated in the early 90’s- and I assumed the myth of the innocent “noble savage” Native American was true, right up until I found channels like yours!!!
Well done and the recounting of the true stories of not so long ago, shows the holes that many fashionable myths conjured up in modern times by the noble dreamers .
TY.
