I’m taking an indigenous history class at my college rn and I’m focusing on the Nonotuck people in the Pioneer Valley, be cool to see a video on John Pynchon and all the different settlements north of the town of Springfield :) ❤️
Excellent. Love your wide use of references. One of the problems of contagious diseases, then and now, is that some people do have immunity and some acquire immunity which often arises from either a small dose of the virus or bacteria or surviving a serious case of the illness or someone has a way to treat the physically, traditionally or modern medicine, and the live through the illness with this assistance. Yes, contact with new bacteria or virus can do serious harm to a population and there are stories of blankets, diseased carcasses, etc. having been used as weapons from far back into some of the ancient history stories. Wessagusset Is Weymouth MA if I recall correctly?
@ I have always wondered about the standard history teaching the indigenous did not have any writing….i really doesn’t make human sense but it does make political sense, on both sides. Maybe in time we will learn more.
I read about ten books on King Philip's War and I learned still more from this video. What I don't understand is the relationship between Weetamoe and her younger sister especially when Alexander suddenly died. Did the younger sister gain in status above Weetamoe given that her husband Philip replaced Alexander as Great Sachem. Or would Weetamoe retain her rank above her sister especially since she was the heir of Corbitant?
@@lumberpilot it seems that Weetamoe retained her power with the Pocasetts meanwhile her sister lives with her husband's people the Pokanokets, where her husband's status would be of paramount importance, if Phillip died before Alexander I bet the opposite occurs.
@@theotherstatesofamericahis5212 Also, Weetamoe married six or seven times the last being with Quinapin of the Narragansetts. I think he was a minor sachem with them.
@theotherstatesofamericahis5212 You're awesome, and if you are not from New England , my GF and son will provide you personal tours of these areas, have lunch and give you deep down lessons in the car of how enunciated we are about our Indigenous and Coloniel peeps. Much love to you as you are a great historical writer.
Pronunciation changes over time. On a video showing how to learn a tribal language the teacher, a tribal member, gave the pronunciation of a word and he, the teacher, describes how when the class next met after the weekend two children said he had pronounced it wrong: “My grandmother said it it pronounced aBC. Deeee” “My grandmother said it is pronounced AbCeeee. dd” The teacher’s point was his version of “tomaytoe, toematoe, potaytoe, pohtatoe, let’s call the whole thing off” The song is Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off, by George Gershwin and sung by Fred Astaire way back in the day and has been used in other productions, including The Simpson. TLDR: no one has the only perfect pronunciation of any word.

Crazy how we are brainwashed into calling them indigenous when they weren't
Good video!
Great video, man. Been binging a lot of your stuff recently.

Yes, Wessagusett is modern day North Weymouth. Almost definitely Chickatawbut (Massachusett) territory.

Great video! I really appreciate what you do. I only wish you'd pronounce some tribes the right way.
Oh no which one did i mess up this time. You should listen to the season on New France if you really want to hear me butcher pronunciations.
