Ned Christie is my 3rd great grand uncle. My 3rd great grandfather is his brother, Return Goback Christie. I have loved learning about this side of my lineage ever since I began researching it.
This is one of the most underrated stories in modern history. It is such an amazing story. I can almost promise that if there was a movie made about this that it would be a blockbuster. I just hope that such a story would be at least moderately historically accurate.
unfortunitly and sad to say , they don`t make movies that really tell the trueth. two of my granny`s cousins were part of the posse that finelly got ned and they happen`d to be full blood cherokee them selves . big bill pathkiller and little bill pathkiller
I read about Ned in grade school. The things I read about Ned were exactly as described. He was portrayed as an outlaw. Very sad. This is a great video!!!!
In my opinion, Ned Christie was a patriotic Cherokee freedom fighter. I'd also like to see a movie made about him as well. RIP Ned Christie. CHEROKEE PRIDE!!!
I first learned of Ned Christie after reading the novel "Zeke and Ned". Went on to find out everything I could about him. I highly respect this man, even wrote a song about him. Wish I could have known him back in the day.
What isn't mentioned is that he was likely to have been deliberately framed by the railroad companies who he was resisting in council, to stop them building through Cherokee land. What a truly inspiring man - you can see in the photos of him his bright flame of awareness.
Why is it that white people always want to accuse of of things that we didn't do. They still do it to this very day. RIP Mr. Christie you legacy will live on.
This story has such strong parallels with Australia's famous story of Ned Kelly. Also wrongfully oppressed and accused by the colonial powers, he is a great symbol of heroic defiance. Thanks for sharing this documentary
I think he was a hero truth hero of the Cherokee people,, wrongfully accused of something you didn't do and harassed to his death,,, I just think it was evil they're the ones that should pay,, but he was still always be my hero and a great Patriot of the TSALAGI PEOPLE‼️‼️‼️‼️
Trying to write a script about this story. Problem is I cant find many sources and thats a problem because I want this film to be as historically accurate as possible.
Reminds me of the story of my 3greats uncle 'Major' Lewis Redmond. He shot and killed a revenue officer, Alfred Duckworth, and was on the run from the law for just over three years. He claimed to be part Cherokee. I am descended from his sister Elizabeth Redmond Reeves. We believe their mother to be Malinda Williams Redman who appears on the 1900 Dawes Roll. We cannot prove that Malinda Williams and Malinda Redmond(Redman) are the same person. Her first husband, Jesse Williams, abandoned her and his four children just after they arrived in the Indian Territory. We believe she returned to NC looking for him where she met Richard Remond and became our ancestor. Jesse Williams was later found in Texas. We believe Malinda returned to the Indian Territory in the 1880s to get away from the notoriety her son was acquiring in the east.
Wow, a lot of relatives on Ned here, This is the first time I've looked him up. I've read about him often, and I'm sure he was just a man trying to survive.
I had a write a essay about my ancestry so I asked my grandma and she told me how my Great great grandma was Rachel Will and then she told me that Ned Christy the last Cherokee warier
.......................................How about no? Native Americans statistically serve in the military more than any other race for their population.
When Ned was propped up at the Court House in Ft. Smith my Great Uncle Hugh Harp one of Judge Parkers Deputy Marshals put his rifle in Neds hands as seen in the vid. RIP Ned Christy and Hugh Harp.
those who shoot at police are guilty innocent men do not harm officers. Amazing no one gives us credit for teaching them how to govern as civilized men , before they were nomadic lawless tribes at war with each other for land and game
Darrell Johnson Ned was defending himself from a government assault. Twenty-five armed men with dynamite and a cannon to take down one man. What was Ned supposed to do give up and go through a white man’s court convinced that he was guilty?
Read this book before repeating the lies about Christie. Ned Christie: The Creation of an Outlaw and Cherokee Hero by Devon A. Mihesuah. He wasn't tried or convicted. he was murdered.

+Jon Suttle I hope movie makers NEVER touch this story. They will distort it.

😢😢😢this is the kind of stuff they don’t want taught in schools today. (TRUTH BE TOLD ‼️).
Larry McMurtry's book Zeke and Ned, was a look into the story of Ned's life in the way only Larry could portray it, fiction mixed with fact.
I had a write a essay about my ancestry so I asked my grandma and she told me how my Great great grandma was Rachel Will and then she told me that Ned Christy the last Cherokee warier
.......................................How about no? Native Americans statistically serve in the military more than any other race for their population.
@@PalmettoNDN maybe cause there aren’t many native Americans around and other races have much more members in them?
Wow…
They really blackmailed him like they are doing to people in 2023
The Mills remember Ned Christie and his earthly tribulations
Hmmm... reminds me of what is happening today, on a larger scale.
No theatre film ever made.
When Ned was propped up at the Court House in Ft. Smith my Great Uncle Hugh Harp one of Judge Parkers Deputy Marshals put his rifle in Neds hands as seen in the vid. RIP Ned Christy and Hugh Harp.

He wasn't tried or convicted. he was murdered.
@@Quinntus79 He would have been hung in Fort Smith. That was a given. The court was literally run by Issac Parker. Aka the "Hanging Judge"
Ironic you call us savages...
But stil I cannot see, if the savage one is me, how can there be so much you don't know that you don't know?
