Indian Chief Tecumseh should have had more mention in this series. His role as a Chief among chiefs is worthy of more than just a mention.
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.
This channel has such a mid 2000s history channel vibe, keep it up with the great videos!
Aye
Yup it is
Just went through your playlist of videos and added around 40 more to my favs list so I can watch later. Please don’t stop making new videos. You are easily in top three of my fav go to channels.
Loving these colonial era documentaries
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.
I’m from west Canada, where our First Nations tribes are Sioux, Blackfoot and Cree, which are ENORMOUS bands and peaceful. The only thing I know about the Iriqous or the Mohawk is what I saw in Last of the Mohicans, which is friggin awesome, but different from the original book. I LOVE learning about what REALLY happened.
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
Fantastic....please keep doing episodes about very early American history.
I am 29 from ontario and am Mohawk this is so cool to finally get to learn more of my history!
Humm🤔
Thought You were Asian
I really enjoyed the knowledge you gave me my insight into history. Thank you.
Absolutely amazed documentary it was fantastic! Thanks for upload👍😉
Such a good show. We need to have the larger perspective of Native American participation in our history.
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
Good documentary, packed with lots of info and straight into the action!
My grandfather was full blood Iroquois Mohawk. The city of North Bay Ontario Canada has a full statue of him in full warrior dress downtown park .My European ancestry is French Normand viking which makes me Me'tis 🇨🇦🪶
What a crazy alliance.. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend 🙏
But as an enemy of the Timeline channel.. Anyone that is also an enemy of them, is now my friend 🤝

You’re crazy loco, confused youth
I dig this series so much.
I am watching every one of these GREAT! programs, and it has been a good way to use my spare time. David H. Lyle is quite the man of many talents, his biography is huge. Thanks for posting!
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.
In the title painting, the warrior on the right sure does look like Wes Studi!
These are great!
As a Canadian descendant of European settlers, I would like to acknowledge our indigenous allies from past centuries.
I truly love this channel and as soon as I get back to work I’m definitely getting that history hits subscription stay safe god bless
Ditto this
It should be talked about the wars that First Nations also had with Inuits And Metis too yeah
Nice mockumentary.
This was a good documentary--- I am glad more segments are being added about First Nations / American Indians. I would love to see a companion piece that also talks about the Iroquois to the south---the Cherokee---as a companion to this piece. They also allied with the British and the fighting continued in the southern Appalachians, long after the colonists won the US Revolutionary War. The Iroquois to the North and South inspired and mentored each other---even though they also had a history of fighting each other, long before colonists arrived. It was not uncommon for Mohawk, Seneca to marry Cherokee way back in history. This history is fascinating.
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.
I grew up in Ouaquaga NY, which in this time period would have been spelled Onaquaga, a central settlement destroyed by the Americans toward the end of the War of Independence. It is located along the Susquehanna river, in the southern part of the centrally located Oneida tribe, who were the Keepers of the Hearth and led by "Good" Peter Aqwrondougwas. In school of course we studied the Five, later Six nations of the Iroquois, their governing structure which inspired the structure of the US Congress, the excellent efforts of Chief Joseph Brant and Sir William Johnson, and the many missionaries who worked to bridge between European and First Nation peoples who were allies of the British. We also learned just how badly so many of those in command on the European and colonials' sides had behaved at that time.
Discovering that they got a bit of their own back in 1812 was very satisfying. This documentary feels so much more acurate than "The Colonial Battle for North America" in this same "Timeline" series. But at the same time, adding the history of Western Canada is somewhat off-topic for a discussion of the Mohawk Alliance..
You're a really good speaker.
I met a Mohawk a Iron worker he was an amazing man very tough look up banned Rebook commercial he is a true super hero.
My people are originally from Quebec as my parents are half French and first nations
. My father's people are Iroquois and my mother's people are Elgonquin
I'm part Mohawk/Iroquois and French. Never did figure out exactly how that happened. Last name, Demaris.
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.
Love it
I'm only partly Amerindian. African and carib or taino mix. Love this history.
I’ve never seen the man blink
That's the weirdest narrator. Definitely not a bot.
I am almost a quarter Mohawk, my great grandmother was a full Mohawk tribe member before she met a white german man and married him......so I'm about a quarter Mohawk, a quarter German and my father was 100% Irish so that would make me 50%. What a blend, glad I grew up in the woods of southern Oregon
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
Sir William was not a baron, he was a knight baronet, huge difference.
I am glad that this program renews who are the true owners of North America. Who are the true citizens of this country and who were almost destroyed because they stood in the way of civilization.
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

😯😯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"
The Ontario city of Brantford is named after the Mohawk chief Joseph Brant, who is considered a hero of the War of 1812 in Canada.

In Canada? Or are you talking about the US?
The Iroquois Alliance never shattered in the U.S. it is still here today. They just allied with their other native nations like the Cherokee and other native nations as well. There are a lot of other Native Nations that are not very well known in the Iroquois Alliance. They even are still fighting to this day. They just pick their battles very very carefully. They even fought against the NYS Government with the sales tax on cigarettes and other smoking products on the Iroquois Alliance Tribal lands.
So glad to find this historical account, as I have recently found myself to be a descendent of the Mohawk Kings with the English nickname Brant were my great grandfathers.
Fell asleep to this last night & I had the wildest dream loool
What's wrong with the narrator? He's looking at me like I'm his breakfast
The Mohawks have a some land in Northern NYS as well.
Joseph Brant (aka Thayendanegea) was involved in a skirmish here in Indiana in 1781. George Rogers Clark was leading a campaign against British-held Detroit, making his way down the Ohio River, recruiting men, losing men via desertion, etc. Bringing up the rear to assist Clark were several Pennsylvania militia, mostly from Westmorland County, PA, led by Colonel Archibald Lochry. Well, Brant was leading a force of loyalist militia, and (non-Iroquois) Native American warriors, took advantage of the isolation of the second American armada, and ambushed it. The Pennsylvanians were taken completely unawares, and defeated, with many Americans dying in the fight. Even though Brant had given orders that non of the prisoners were to be harmed, some intemperate braves in his ranks tomahawked Lochry and 2 or 3 other American defenseless prisoners from behind as they sat on a log with their hands bound. It's one of several occasions here on the Indiana frontier when people (both Indians and whites) were summarily executed by tomahawk.
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).
Does the host ever blink?

It's about time David Lyle learnt his lines and stopped reading them from a cue card next to the camera 😂
Im from mid south Canada and some of the tribes that lived here are the Mohawk Algonquian and Erie
I dunno how to put this... I rather have documentaries with illustrations and historian's interviews than bad cosplay and extreme close ups of the presenter...
As an American of European ancestry, I really appreciate this series. It fills in so many holes in my country's earliest history.
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.
Right in my area,I fish in the Mohawk and Hudson rivers and I hunt in the Adirondack mountains.Beautiful area,it's to bad the state is run by communists!
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.
History hit or curiosity stream?
any recommendations?

But these alliances decimated these tribes.
Sr can you tell about the kuki people
In North East India. the histor of Anglo kuki war with british colony in 1916 can you
Who are they willy? They look like Pawnee.
Champlain also sent a scout into seneca territory. His name was Brule. He actually discovered everything for Champlain. Unfortunately Brule didn't come into seneca lands from the southern door near newtown. He came In from the north and so was considered hostile and the seneca ate him. The french also sent denonville into seneca lands and destroyed several towns. The Iroquois never forgot this.
The Iroquois were no match for New France.
Disappointed with the lazy thumbnail choice as it's from Dances With Wolves, not Last of the Mohicans, which depicts the Mohawk/British alliance discussed here. Actor Wes Studi (at right) is in both. It's as if their graphics team just Googled "native Americans" and copied whatever they found into the background image. Do better guys!!!
Columbus was not an Italian from Genoa, he was Portuguese. All of his records and all the places he named are written or named in Spanish and Portuguese.
8:57 who the heck drew that? LMFAO
There are descendants of the Mohawk living in New Zealand -I am one of them.
I thought the Covenant Chain was between the UK & the Iroquois, not just with the Mohawk.
Am I wrong?
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.
I lived for awhile in Mohawk N.Y and went to school there.
did they even know it was Christmas?
why does the camera have to suddenly zoom into the narrator's face? it makes this seem silly when he's trying to tell significant history.
Joeseph Brandt,Guy Johnson and Butler burned down my ancestor's house near cherry Valley NY.
With the exception of some like Joseph Brant, Indigenous nations did not fight FOR the British, but WITH them.
Many Indigenous nations played the colonizers against each other. Le Rat is one such example.
In Canada, we know of a famous mohawk. His name is Lasagna. He is great at shooting policemen and stopping traffic on bridges. ❤❤❤
He died a couple years ago. A true Kanienkahaka. RIP Lasagna.

@@lorrainearmstrong7587 wrong.
He is not reading at all.
Ok, first these are a great series but please... I know a lot of people love this narrator but he's the epitome of monotone hyperbole, and I did not even think that was possible
My ancestor’s name is on the plaque for the Mohawk Indians who fought for the British at the Battle of Oneska, New York. I’m proud to carry his blood.
Though I really appreciate this I consider it close to my heritage... this is still the British side of the story.. where only big British or American names are referred to.
I wish there was a big production like this where its told from the natives side with historical native figures being referred to
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.
Good documentary minus the Marxism
Good. But narration isn’t the best to follow. Jumps around without context and also leaves loose ends.
Brant was tutored by eleazer wheelock which later became dartmouth.

The Ancient Romans borrowed Venetian ship building technology. To create their own long range fleets in order to sail to North America to mine Copper & Tin. There are also tales of Ancient Romans encountering boulder throwing Red Headed Giants. Along a lot of the river banks they sailed by.

Nice effort, but this is either way too condensed or shows a significant lack of knowledge regarding the importance of First Nations outside of the USA...

The narrator looks like a robot....he never blinks
The Mohawk Nation is the largest tribal nation in the eastern half of the U.S. and they lands from Indiana to the North Carolina and back up into Canada.
I think both the Natives and Colonial majority wanted to be free from Europe.
What I wanna know is what and why a Mohawk Cheif would be called “Joseph Brant”
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.
I don’t how true this is, but I’ve heard Joseph Brant was sir William Johnson’s son.
How did they keep
Those smooth scalps with just flints for razors?
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

Do you have a story about the Wyoming massacre in Pennsylvania?
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.
I came! I saw! I conquered! Let’s all give it back now? I don’t think so. Conquests comes with statecraft as much as persuasion by war.
Scandinavian people's settled for centuries in the US, and people got around the planet for centuries too. Mayan and their Blue comes from Georgia USA. Persians, and many people's over centuries, travelled the globe!
What are you saying, my ancestors never existed? For your information we’ve been on this continent for a very long time. My people alone lived in the Adirondacks for 10000+ years.
Vinland is sometimes used to indicate all areas frequented by the Vikings in North America, in which case it also stretches to Labrador, Baffin Island, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, all in present-day Canada. Viking never stepped foot in the United States.
Not sure why this program started in the 1700, so that it ignores the first 200 years of history
