Im 33 and from ontario. My history textbooks in school maybe had a page or 2 at best on metis in the "native" section of the book, so thank you. Knowledge is power
You're very welcome. We strive to educate on subjects both well known and overlooked.
I am of French and Ojibwa decent out of the Lac Du Flambeau in Wisconsin. My grandmother always said we were the Metis but none of books in school could tell us our history. Looks like we were all overlooked.
I grew up in the NWT, so I was fortunate to learn a little bit more about all First Nations in school than my friends "down south" (translation: Provinces are "south", Territories "North"). But by the time grade 7 or 8 rolled around, I was already wondering why we learned more history about other countries than we did our own. As a parent, I was really sad to see that while our education curriculums seem to be improving, they are still sort of glossing over Canadian history. I hope by the time I have grandchildren in school it will be better.
Wow. Canadian schools suck. I’m 35 and we not only had entire sections dedicated to First Nations people, we took several field trips to Iroquois historical museums.
Public school education in Pennsylvania in the 90’s.
@@Last_Chance. Nobody was talking to you 😆
My great 7times grand father was one of the two scouts who got away at the battle of the Grand Coteau. My friend Chi Mike Keplin was raised by his grandparents who themselves were raised by their grandparents, who had been present at the battle of Grand Coteau. He was raised on stories of this battle 2nd hand.
Thank you for this fantastic production! And the narrator is perfect.
Some of my ancestors were among the Selkirk settlers. I hope that modern day Canadians can learn from our past and current conflicts, and create a nation where we can all prosper in peace.
Fascinating video on the complexity of the time.
Thank You for this great documentry, didn't know all of this happened in Canada, still learning things at my age, we were not taught this in our American History
It's taught in Canadian history.
@@KeyserSoze23 not really, it’s done province by province. Not in BC or Quebec did I learn it.
me, yelling to the missus:
"honey, i wanna be metis now!"
"and what about being a kossack?"
"that was last week!"
"ok, but can you at least use some of your mountain-man gear for it?"
i am ofc not metis, but dangit, this was inspiring. much love from across the pond!
Very funny,is that British humor?
Interesting history unknown to me. Thank you so much for sharing.........well done!
This series is THE best I have ever come across for approaching the history of the West and its Indigenous Nations in a factual manner. As the great-great-granddaughter of Sàmi man who was driven out of Norway through its program of forced relocation and reeducation. He found a new place with the Selish-speaking tribes of the sacred Flathead Lake region of Montana. I have always felt honored that the wonderful grandmas and aunties of that nation were loving and kind to me in spite of my ancestors. I wish more people knew the truth and the deep suffering European Americans have caused for the priceless Indigenous People. They are the guardians of all that will keep us alive. ❤
Fantastic channel! Thank you!
You're very welcome
Thank you so much timeline❤️ you’re videos and constant uploads get me through my workdays
You lost me at, “ The natives traveled to reduce the stress on their environment “.
Really??? It was all about survival. They followed the heard of buffalo because they had to.
They needed to find more food to survive. Placing stress on the environment works against survival.
Plains Nations factually managed their environments much like massive game reserves. Nomadic isn't even the proper term for their subsistence patterns. Semi-migrational would be far more accurate. Even the Blackfoot grew tobacco crops and cultivated said crops, which indicates some level of sedentary livelihood. In the case of the Sioux, prior to contact they have been agriculturalists. After disease and a massive change in cultural ways due to the introduction of the horse, they switched to being "nomadic" and became bison hunters. So yes, they often followed herds because they had to, but they would also manage the environment (slashing and burning, etc) for optimal game output.
An overly simplistic observation and very ignorant of cultures that didnt exploit the environment to its destruction, unlike those that admire and promote environmental destruction.
@@mirriulahwaterdog It appears that they wiped out the mammoths.
@@conifergreen2 Yes a debate that has surfaced in Australia where some archaeologists reckon the indigenous people wiped out the mega fauna. However most other archaeologists accept that it is much more complex and intertwined with global environmental changes such as a mini ice-age of the times.
Very good stuff. Thanks
Great series, lots of knowledge.
This has to be THE BEST series on the history of the Aboriginal Peoples. No Hollywood BS . Straight forward facts .
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I love this series, thank you!
You're very welcome
Treat.... been really enjoying nations at war
Very informative
Thanks!
I read a book from 1940s about this. Great video! Thank you!!
Good show not sure if I would call it a documentary. It had its point and some vague references but over good. I am sure it would take a lifetime of research to get to all the details.
The best channel interesting ever good real information about history world
hellos from British Columbia 😋 hope all y’all doing real good. It is important for us to learn about the first nations of canada because not a lot of people talk about it and teachers, they don’t either. i am hoping we can teach all around the world about the first peoples of the lands.
Very interesting video thank you 😊from Scotland 👍
You are very intelligent.Thank you very much for taking the time .l am not able to order or correspond. I am handicapped. God established your works 🙏 🙌 l will pray for you.
I'm a Scot and I love their flag as it is the Scottish Saltire or St Andrew's Cross but turned into a Celtic infinity knot. I've never seen it before, but the Scottish and Celtic influence is immediately obvious to a Scot.
Savages is what they called my ancestors in the history books. This was in the 1990's.
He has such a deep voice :)
Glad You Love It. That Is My Voice.
A deep and beautiful voice, full of sincerity and strength! The power in his voice could be well used in other venues!
I thought you were talking about the chap who opened up the video soo you had me for a second.

My Great Grandmother was a Metis My Great Grandfather was Scottish. She was a very nice looking young woman!I have photos of my family starting around 1900!
I don't see a lot of that here.
Thanks, I'll watch this again. I live close to the action described. 100 years later
14:39 that's my great great great great great grandfather
My great uncle just sent me a document in the mail about him as a graduation gift. I remember my mom calling my grandma and my grandma mentioned something about her great great grandfather or uncle being a chief. Just surprising to be related to a historical figure
My great grandfather was a drummer boy at the battle of Batoche and then served in his 40s in WWI. He was gassed in the Somme and my mum said he would scream about gas almost every night telling his troops to put on masks.
I’m a direct descendant of Louis Blondeau, he gave testimony at the semple trial which led to Metis being acknowledged as a distinct nation and charges being dropped. Proud family history.
My husband, know deceased, was a Manitoba Metis. My boys qualify for their Metis Card too. He & his family are from the White Horse Tribe, I think . Between Winnipeg & Portage La Prairie. I use to live at the south point of Lake Manitoba, the Metis hamlet was called St. Ambroise. Such a different life compared to city life Oshawa, ON. No problem for me as I camped a lot in my life above ground & we had, I have know the RV we bought back in '83. It's a '67 Trevco, fiberglass with a Dodge 315 motor. Excellent on gas. Anyone want to? Thought I'd ask! It'll never rust.
Interesting
What are you asking?
You mind travelling south a little fam I've got ends
Brothers ex wife family still beside famous white horse plains statue. St Francis Manitoba
interesting video. Living in the UK this portion of Canadian history is new to me.
Thank you for another good vid. I hope you have something on the S.E. U.S. tribes
You very welcome and that is in the works.
I like the Host's voice.
I love this channel. I love history ❤️
I do as well..
And I
We all love history!
Yay 😍!🥂😁
We're glad you enjoyed it
Good video
Metis and proud French native and Scottish NWT born and raised
Yellowboy at 15:59. At least 20 years to soon. But anyway this is a great documentary. Living in Denmark, Europe for my whole life, this is very interesting to watch.
Métis is pronounced Métisse... unlike Paris.
At least that's how 19th century Métis pronounced it.
Bonjour du Québec.
It would make my day to hear Native Americans talking about a buffalo scran or having Clootie dumpling. Now I’m hungry.
Let's go watching amanzing channel congratulation
Braw. Thanx
Shouldn't "Black Jacket" be driving a neighborhood ice cream truck, selling Eskimo Creme Pies to children?
14:38 I thought he played the piano on that political show :)
Nomadic tribes did not do so because of some innate knowledge, virtue or ideal of sustainability: rather it was far more simple, they were nomadic because their life sustaining resources were migratory. All other tribes that had fixed resources, thus had fixed homes.
yep they had to follow their food and fuel and shelter buffalo meat buffalo dung and buffalo hides. they could trade any excess of meat or hides to other tribes for things they needed.
Following migratory animals is only one reason for nomadism. Metis families were often nomadic even outside the buffalo hunt, wintering on the land in different regions different years to let the area recover, as well as working different locations in the summer. At least some of this was rooted in a concrete knowledge of sustainability, and similar structures existed in all First Nations groups I've had the chance to study in depth, with areas used often in cycles, same with fishing.
The battles we are facing will make us strong.people let us study history. Our past will define our 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁 present.
THANK YOU FROM Germany Europe
Oh I love this show lol
Can you tell the history of the Navajo story?
So many native nations. So many fascinating and unfortunately lost stories and oral traditions
Navajo definitely among them
Amazing episode. You can't understand Canadian history without understanding the history indigenous nations. These nations were, and I would argue should still be, the governing and legislative states that made up Canada.
To be fair didn't they take land from previous tribes. People have been fighting each other for land and stealing each others lands for thousands of years. Let's not just be anti European
@@pwx13 Two wrongs don't make a right.
@@sarad6627 war is war, we don't always have the entire story as much as I love these documentaries, maybe they were threatening to the Europeans that came in. There are stories of native raids. I am just saying let's not be ethnocentric and try to look at every angle. ( by the way I am not putting over Europeans by the way as there are plenty of evil people within their ranks )
@@pwx13 I didn't say that. One war in the past doesn't justify all future wars.
So people born in Canada shouldn't get to vote because they are white? Interesting if incredible racist viewpoint. There are 100 million non-whites in Europe, should we take their votes from them or keep them as citizens with equal rights? Just asking as you are the one that believes in racial supremacy when it comes to land rights. I believe you should read Hitler's Mein Kampf as he lays out views exactly like yours. The land belongs to people based on race and you should move or kill those that are not part of the correct race for that land. That's what you just said should happen. Wrong race, no rights you said.
Alternatively, we could stick with giving citizens the right to vote equally regardless of race as we do now. What do you think? Because unlike you I'd argue that if you are born in Canada you have just as much right to be there as someone whose ancestors arrived there before yours did. I think the same thing about black people in the UK. Because I'm not a racist like you.
Ojibwe- Metis here. It's true. We loved bullying the Sioux lolz.
My great-great grandfather was Pierre Sauvé, brother to Charles who went to claim Louis Riel's body. Pierre was married to Gabriel Dumont's adopted daughter (a cousin's niece) and I have always wondered what events transpired, and how my grandpa's grandpa Alex and his brother Joseph ended up at Carlisle Indian School. Alex returned to Manitoba and married the granddaughter of Jean Baptiste Lagimodière and Marie Gaboury, and 1st cousin to Louis Riel. But somehow we ended up completely stripped of this history with shame. My grandpa's aunt on his mom's side told me that my grandpa's aunts and uncles never talked about their origins to avoid discrimination. I think the only thing that survived was hamburger soup, which we called goulash, and barley soup.
Anyway, all of this to say that I wish I knew the story of why went our way, as Gabriel Dumont traveled with the Buffalo Bill Show. The dynamics of this family breakup would be so interesting to explore. And I really wish I had a chance to connect with the culture was younger, but my migratory, nature-loving life make a ton of sense in hindsight, and I feel very Métis at heart.
Women were the "unsung" heroes of many an old trade route and its hardships and many a cold, old age of yore.
My step son was taking general education courses to complete his high school diploma. I looked over his shoulder and this general education book had reduced WW2 to 2 paragraphs. Can't be a proud citizen if they're hiding the history, both good and bad, of your country. Can't learn from the mistakes that were made so as not to repeat them. That shows major dumbing down of the next generations of citizens. Very sad.
The Battle of Seven Oaks was in 1816 not 1718.
I know the Seven Oaks from London , England
My Ancestors ❤
I visited Kamloops this summer. What an amazing place and surrounding area. What a homeland to have. I can only but imagine how beautiful the area was in the times before Europeans arrived.
Not hating btw. Time marches on and brings with it irreparable change. But still.. before the modern era, the land of the Secwepmc, must have been an amazing place.
I am interested in what form their ancient warfare with their neighbours took. Did they fight pitched battles, or was it more like raiding and ambushing each other during vulnerable moments? Or a little of both? Anybody who knows, please tell me! I’m interested in that.
Like 61 because as Always Watch the Perfect Videos,Good News Big Thank's for Your Effortts From Your Friend on YTube
You're welcome
The Metis fort near Towner is Fort Wilkie that was destroyed, the Dakota Village that was attacked was really a trader camp of the Deloria's that had married into the Lakota Blackfoot Sioux. The Yellowhawk family have this in their oral history as that is where they found Julia (WasicuWin) Deloria 1822-1917 BIRTH 1822 • Territory Dakota, USA DEATH ABOUT 1917 • Armstrong County, South Dakota. The war was really a fight between traders.
I am Métis from Manitoba, decendant of cuthbert grant
That little blurb, at the end of this excellent example of our shared history about her feelings about 150 Mile. M y Father acquired some 10 +1/2 acres up around Canim Lake, in the '70's I was always aware that I was having fun on stolen ground, living on borrowed time and if I saw somebodies thumb stock out, day or night, I would be sure to pick'm up.We share a heritage. There lies the true meaning of reconciliation. Sure, it's easy for me to say since I'm of the so-called Victorious Ones but at what cost did we achieve this ? Revenge does not lead to reconciliation, only to more hurt.
Battle of Seven Oaks was 1816, not 1718.
Who is the narrator? I like his voice.
David Lyle is his name. Actor from Vancouver, Canada.
super merci des infos👨🦳👨🦳🌸🌸🧙♂🧙♂🤗🤗💝💝 ABÉNAKI
25:25 5k years ago? Soo 3000 b.c? Woah.
Some meti took to the sea and became pirates, hence the expression; yaaar matey!
lol
Hahaha! You might enjoy the First Nations humour of The 1491s.
My 5thGG was Cuthbert Grant.
Why are there still ice caps ?
Had to replay the opening a few times. How he pronounced "Pembina" really threw me off.
💔🖤
Another part of our history of this country that wasn't discussed or taught in any of my history classes Until we as a whole acknowledge,accept & teach/share/speak the truth we will not cannot move on grow adapt evolve as TRUE human beings of This GREAT USA Amazing doc Thank you for this & other documentaries you've done Peace love and light to all
These people moved to hunt and gather, not environment reason I believe
Grant is a Scottish name.
God bless all those who were minding their business just living life and were subject to violence, killed, raped, tortured, enslaved, diseased, imprisoned, ostracized, stolen from and mischaracterized. Amen
Yeah, they did that to each other add stealing children and keeping them.
So no human population that ever existed
My mother's Grandmother always considered herself to be Ojibwa and French now I'm wondering
Great that such an early precursor of s & g's bridge over troubled waters existed such a long time ago.i was searching for a book called absolute beginners and can't think of anything else it was called. it was about a naive youth very like me when I was a teenager who falls in love with an older girl and meanwhile has innocent fun with his school friends..
I didn't know my Metis heritage was so rich!!!! Natives still hate us Metis to this day
what happend to Louis Riel?
This is a bit before Riel's time, this was in the time of his grandfather.
Why would you spend 2 days to kill one man?
The flag is the same as FB new logo.
The narrator of this looks just like the Philippines' President Rodrigo Duterte.
Went to school with Cree and Metis. Later worked in Northern Manitoba reserves. Have had many opinions, always interested in Indians, worked for Manitoba Hydro. Saw hydro electric dams wipe out old towns/settlements. Kind of tragic. Booze/drugs, Am not a bleeding heart. Know a few guys/girls who made it out.
7:09 narrator says 1718. This is off by 100 years. 1818 is correct
Just 6 years after that major battle in 1857 Sheffield fc were created ,the world's first soccer team Sheffield England 🏴 just saying ⚽
Yet Metis were still seen as higher then Inuits who in that matter were seen as above First Nations even today First Nations are at the very bottom of the racial hierarchy within Canada yeah.
This documentary has many wrong dates.
You left out Louis Riel? There is even a holiday in Manitoba where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet.
We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations. We'll try harder next time.
@@Last_Chance. I still enjoyed it & love your channel.
This was in Louis Riel's grandfathers time. He had not been born yet.
A lot of Scots Orkney Islanders had native wives but returned with children from the unions to Scotland !
I think they might have some native ancestry from the Viking era. More so in Iceland
The narrator sounds like Nazir - from the Dark Brotherhood.
Thank you
Buffalo leather was European wars for a half a century

Once again scots open up the continents . Australia really ignores their contributions
Agreed.
Once again Scotland tries to avoid/deflect from blame/faults.
Not really, the Scots were rather late the party actually. ;)

Organized and disciplined l must be clothed with The whole Armour of God.
The population of Canada in 1840 was 430,000 with 80% living in the East of Ontario, Quebec and Maritimes .
How can they be fighting over space in the vast west?
Even today if you car ride out to western Canada you go for miles without seeing people. The city of Tokyo Japan has the population of Canada today.
