Forgotten History: The rise and fall of the Miskito Kingdom (Sub. Español)

- For more than two centuries, an enigmatic indigenous American state existed in the Caribbean coast of Central America. A country with an elite of African descent and strong ties to the English-speaking world. A country that shaped the Caribbean in many, often ignored, ways.
And today we'll explore its history, so join me today to discover the forgotten odyssey of the Miskito Kingdom.

So, does the name "Miskito/Mosquito" have an etymological connection with the name of the insects called "Mosquitoes"?
Not at all. It's just a phonetical coincidence.
@@AztlanHistorian I see. Do we know the actual etymology of the word "Miskito"?
According to Smutko, that name comes from that of a patriarch called Miskut; and the Miskito would be his kin.
@@AztlanHistorian Interesting. So, did the Spanish transcribe it as "Mosquito", or did that start with the English?
As far as I know, it was the Spaniards who changed the name first
My moms from Nicaragua and is Miskito Indian she never taught me the launguage and I was born in the US but I wanted to thank you for telling me about the history my family doesn’t like talking about cultural history and stuff!
Glad you enjoyed the video
Hey Princess, my parents are from Honduras & they don’t speak on the history as well. I guess Bc that’s how they were raised & could be that our grandparents n great grandparents did not know as well. During their times there were any televisions, but today there DNA ancestry that will pick up more race/ethnicities ancestry other than miskito & it’s good to know. We are almost mixed with other
My mom’s family is from Nicaragua and her and my family left in the 80s during samoza sometimes it’s hard from them to talk about it because they watched they’re home be turned upside down but my family is pretty open about escaping the country and the hard life they lived raising three girls and still trying they’re hardest to help out the front lines
We the miskitu People are still alive her in Honduras,in Nicaragua, in Costa Rica and the Islans of Colombia. And we need to get in touch with our people that have the same backgrown, that use the same language, the same culture and are from a common ancestors. Hello my people. May God bless you🙏🙏🙏. I am a teacher of Honduras,La Moskitia.
My dad is Miskito - I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the culture and history. Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Check out @indigenousmiskitu on ig.. miskitu is the spelling in their indigenous language ;) I’m also miskitu on my mom’s side. You should volunteer with us
@@kimannpapa Hi! I live in Wales, UK but I would love to help in some way. I’m an artist and recently finished my masters researching Miskito creative practices. A lot of my work is inspired by that now... I wonder if the organisation would be up for using an illustrator to promote their messages? I’m heart broken by what’s going on over there right now.
Same, my father is from Puerto cabeza(bilwi) on the northern coast
They tried to help the British against the Maroon's of Jamaica and the Miskito tribe they sent into the blue mountains of Jamaica never returned
My family members are from the NCCAR & I’m blessed to have both parents who are Miskito. We speak English at home but they mainly speak miskito so I’m able to understand it but speak some short phrases. Thank you for the video! I’m so glad I was able to find history on my culture. 🇳🇮
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Greetings from Mexico
Mon miskito isisma?
❤
You are one of very few youtubers i have seen that covers Central America's indigenous cultures, keep up the good work! Cant wait to see more CA content
Thanks for the compliment :)
Happy to learn about my people
Thanks for sharing great information about the Miskito history. I’m from little corn island. Nicaragua 🇳🇮 These are the types of history’s needed to be teach in the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua schools . They got to know about they history.
I hope my work can help. Greetings!
Hey Charles I hope you see this message. I'm sure we are cousins of some degree! I was born in the USA but my dad, Ike Downs, was born on Little Corn. His parents were Brunella and Alejandro Downs. Some of his brothers: Guy Downs, Anthony Downs, Dalton Downs. I only have visited the Islands twice but I hope to make it back soon. I'm also very interested in learning more about the history of Miskito and the East coast.
Hello Marco, thanks for your massaged I guessed we are relative because my family surname are Downs too. But any way the miskitu history is really interesting and amazing, even though that they have being struggling to conserve they culture, history and language. In Nicaragua they are still racism against the indigenous population and Afrocaribbean, but hopefully in a near future the municipal authorities will consider teaching the history of our ancestors in the schools of the Caribbean of Nicaragua 🇳🇮☀️🏝️. Greetings my friend, wishing you a blessed day
Incredible video on a much forgotten part of History. It is always amazing to me to see native and other people integrate and develop these sort of pan-racial equitable kingdoms and societies where each race enjoys freedom as individuals in an equitable society hundreds of years before we in the u.s or elsewhere did. Amazing video, thank you.
History is so fascinating because of events, places and things like this one.
Glad you liked the video
Fantastic video as always! Keep up the good work!
Hope you keep enjoying my videos :)
Finally something online talking about the Miskito
They deserve a lot more attention indeed
I have no idea what the mosquito kingdom was but that name scares me.
lol
*Mosquito Noises Intensifies*
Lmao as a Miskito this is Hilarious to me.
You deserve way more views for the amount of research you put into your videos
Thanks for the compliment :)
Amerindian slaves from the Miskito Coast were imported into Jamaica in the 18th century, that's another part of Jamaican and Miskito history few people seem to know about
Sadly, colonial Amerindian slave trade in general is pretty much ignored when explaining slavery in the Americas in most scholar curricula.
@@AztlanHistorian yeah i feel like if the whole system was highlighted the injustice would be harder to ignore or forget.
They were imported to fight the Maroon's of Jamaica and Queen Nanny & her brother's killed them all! The one's sent into blue mountain to hunt the Maroon's was never seen again
They didn’t kill them all because I’m Jamaican and my dna test reveals that I have indigenous Americas central in my genetic makeup (miskito indians)
@@brianthomassr9451 they also intermarried with Jamaicans Miskito blood is very much in our gene pool DNA verifies this. Also the Miskito were also enslaving other indigenous people of Nicaragua particularly the women and bringing them to Jamaica for breeding and labor. DNA shows up in Saint Elizabeth parish
One of the most interesting yet least talked about possessions of the British Empire. I didn’t realize they had supported an independent Kingdom earlier though, very cool
Glad you liked the video
This is exactly the kind of channel I’ve been looking for! Very entertaining!
Glad you enjoy my work
Muchísimas gracias for such a historically informative video. I’ve learned a lot and will definitely share!
De nada. Glad you liked it
Glad to see your still putting out good content
Glad you enjoy my work
@@AztlanHistorian you do good work
Thank you for this video, I'm just finding it now! My father's side of the family is from the Corn Islands, and I have heard some stories about history but not as in depth as you have done here. I would love to see an in-depth video about the Corn Islands if you have the interest. One interesting fact: the Islands were leased to the United States government through the Bryan-Chamorro treaty of 1914, which was intended to last 99 years but was terminated in 1971. Thanks again for your good work.
Thank you! Great Video!
Glad you liked it!

Finally! I never thought the day would come when this fascinating topic will be covered! Tlazohcamati nohuampoh!

This was great cannot wait until you do more about Native Arctic And Sub Arctic people's soon particularly The First Nations, Inuits, Aleuts, And Yupiks
Glad you enjoy my work. I'll try to cover those eventually of course

Weird facts aside, I liked the video Aztlan, tomorrow I will be starting on my script for a 2 part introduction video to my channel... hopefully people don't notice my youth

So the Afro in the population were admixture? Contrary to popular belief some people are running around talking about the Miskito people are an African Indigenous group. All the research I found (books) all pointed to admixture from slaves who were under British rule and those that escaped slavery under the Spanish.
Indeed they were. Unfortunately, the Miskito and the Garifuna have had their history hijacked and distorted beyond recognition by revisionists known as "Afrocentrics", who go around claiming that all civilizations were created by Black Africans, much Arthur de Gobineau did in the 19th century when he claimed that all civilizations were created by Europeans.
Now, to be fair, there are people who call themselves "Afrocentric" who simply want to promote the recognition and knowledge of African cultures and the achievements of the African diaspora; something I completely support. But unfortunately, that very same name designates a rather nefarious group of racist pseudoscholars who often go around making outlandish claims like saying the Tenocelome (Olmec) were black or that medieval English royalty was black, effectively trying to steal other people's history.
Hope my answer helps you. Greetings
no. its not an admixture.
blacks are native to NORTH AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA, CARIBBEAN, EURASIA, AFRICA , AUSTRALIA and ANTARCTICA
@@AztlanHistorian it not revisionist. earth is a black planet. BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT COME FROM OTHER RACE! dna science earth history, earth culture = do not support your theory.
✔𝕆𝕌𝕋 𝕆𝔽 𝔸𝕗𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕒 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕠𝕣𝕪: logically blacks will be in CENTRAL AMERICA 1st 🙄
✔Africa is 6 timezone big & can host 7 billion people... so the OOA theory is nonsense nobody need thst much space for themselves.
the reason why Earth was sparely populated is because billions died & millions left the planet.
you cannot have sex for 200,000 years which is what they are sayin humanity age is and be 20 deep.
🙄 whites are not native europeans = they are from central Asia
got dumped in present day Europe ... then those 🤴🏾 🤴🏿 👸🏽 👸🏾ruling class blacks { Wildmen & the Moors tapestry} tried* to dump them in THE AMERICAS, this is why the Mayflower had tons of Europeans blacks.
WEST INDIA was a kept secret.
the black Europeans/Moors who are sitting in El Salvador 🇸🇻 right now can confirm this.
HOW YOU GONNA COME AFTER BLACK PEOPLE and tell us Earth's History? 🌍 🌎 🌏
90% of those in Africa are not from the continent. chinese people are wearing Nigerian faces because that is where Nigerians are from!!
🤷 you look at Africa and think = 1 race? but Miskito people are mixed? you got a Miskito Adam & Eve you want to show me? Polynesia + Micronesia is not multi race =one people! Japanese & Siberian natives ..that is not an admixture when the get together! wolof & tamil look nothing alike = same tribe (different land)
__________________ there is WEST INDIA & EAST INDIA ___________________
RACE IS NOT A BLACK PEOPLE'S CONCEPT = because we know better and dont need to departmentalize people in order to understand Earth. we dont need to give them crayola colors to understand what we are looking at.
WE DID NOT COME UP WITH EVOLUTION THEORY 😆🙄
( because devolution is what happens when you leave the archetype)... that is why they cant find a missing link nor humans rank by species.. ie birds and fish
** North America history and artifacts are older than Africa. because Africa is only an 'ark' you wont find ancient bones here the same way you wont find the missing land that sat over the gulf of mexico!
Miskito & related natives ancestors flex on💪🏾💪🏾 someone who had allies outside this planet.
people who came back had to start over.. this place was a nuclear fallout for eons.😏 if you need to say asteroid hit the planet.. go ahead (feel better). nobody in the UN can build a pyramid = but ok! we live in advance times now.
rock tools were use to build pyramids... and nobody had boats.. we walk to Australia (feel better)
Not at all the Miskito were sent to Jamaica thinking they could defeat the Maroon's and got annihilated and never seen again after entering blue mountain
Indeed the Miskito were indeed an indigenous Copper tribe with kinky hair who had Afros
😊😊😊😊
Very valuable information for me but I lose information because of the accent. You should use caption so I can read every detail.
I’m from Central America, I remember as a child that zambo Miskitos as they called them were notorious for witchcraft

What is the "Spanish Main"?
That is the name given in English to the Spanish territories in the mainland of the Americas.
@@AztlanHistorian Ohhh, this whole time I thought it was a reference to the country of Spain or even the Iberian peninsula
