  • In the 12th century, the five Iroquois nations were locked in a bloody cycle of revenge. Human relations had broken down to the point of fratricide and cannibalism. Hiawatha was a Mohawk leader who lost his wife and children in the violence. But with the guidance of Dekanawidah, The Great Peacemaker, Hiawatha turned his grief into forgiveness. Hiawatha and The Peacemaker shared their vision of forgiveness until the warring nations found peace in togetherness. Together, they founded the Iroquois Confederacy; a nation that stands strong today.

    Very hard to separate truth and embellishment, history and legend, but we do know that these were complicated civilizations that tried hard to preserve the past. Their origin stories are in the same vein as the Hindu, Muslim and Christian tales and allegories.

      Telling the "historical truth" isn't the same or as important than telling the story and taking it to heart.
      The tribes were able to flourish in art, society, connectedness, music, life etc with thier myths.

    The picture used with this video reflects the Iroquois peoples in the background....
    But the front image of a man in the War Bonnet is from the tribes of the Plains.

    I have a very small percentage of inca heritage and i live in freezing Northern Europe. Im not claiming to be one, i have roots elsewhere too. But it's always interested me how many different family lines from around the world ended up combining just for me to exist.

    When reflecting upon this story people really need to hear "all of it" as these layers effect peoples perseptions upon its diffrent charters and its underlying layers... yes it is also important to note the story does change a little bit depending upon which Haudenosaunee nation storyteller refects it ,, The man Attotaro (Tadadaho) in his youth was deeply respected person in his community who was very thoughtful in helping people , some people became jeaolus of him and they hired a person skiled in creating poisons to go after him.. he most definitely was not born into what he became.. th-cam.com/video/iIQfsnppYYw/w-d-xo.html When we historicaly look at examples of how our people have delt with figures like Tadadaho. in reflective comparison to what the peoples of the Haudenosaunee nation did in placing him the position of such a Leader. Questions as to how we historicaly have time and time again failed to core address internal our own conflit issues within the roots of our own sociaty..

      Both across the Atlantic and Pacific. The DNA evidence shows both Asian and European decent. Mostly Asian though.

      Some signs of Chinese culture in S. America -- or it might not be; Chinese writing. Very possible that a large Chines junk (sailboat) could have been blown off course. Polynesian DNA. Some stone spearheads match ice age stoneheads identical to those found in France -- ocean hunters may have followed the edges of the ice and the animals across the Atlantic.
      It's all very confusing -- but one thing we know, humans spread everywhere

    • @BlueRidgeCritter
      @BlueRidgeCritter 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      As I understand the current DNA studies, there have been 2 waves. The original "first people" crossed the Strait at the end of the ice ages and settled NA, then they got pushed out by the current "first people" who were Asian and arrived from the Pacific. So, the Native Americans today who often become political and want whatever because they were "the First People" pushed out and had their lands stolen by the Europeans, really were not the first. They had simply pushed somebody else out and stolen their lands. Makes an interesting history to be sure.

      King Alfred of the "burning oat cakes" in England?
      Plenty of others. Oral history can be astonishingly accurate, or, if what you might call fairy tales, nevertheless preserve a central truth. The arrival of the Peacemaker pops up from nothing, not a part of the existing culture, so most likely a real person who'd had a stunning revelation.
      For another example, Albert Einstein. He was struggling to finish his work on relativity; during a walk in his garden he said the daisies whispered to him "e equals m c squared". Do daisies really whisper? No. But when he took a moment to relax the answer popped up ... and the world changed.

    The Indians were described as being close to African black (color wise) these people are not the real ones ! I am American Indian myself why we don’t look alike ? And I’m full blooded . And NO you were not here first , us so called blacks people was here first WE are the original American Indians . Y’all came after !

    • @beaconofchaos

      Some people were darker than others but there were no people who were described as looking like what today we would call “Black”. There were lots of European invaders who wrote things and created art about Native Americans without having ever seen us and transposed ideas from the other people they considered to be savages, Black Africans onto Native Americans. This is not saying either group are actually savage people, just that they were perceived that way by the Europeans.
