Because the Reservations are free from state regulations, they become targets for water contamination, waste dumping, air pollution, mining waste etc. The responsibility of dealing with it usually ends up falling on the local tribal governments.
Well, it happened with native Americans, it happened with afro americans and it is still happening with those 2 groups and other groups as well. So, it is not the "old way" it is what is still happening and it is something that is getting stronger throughout the country.

I can never unlearn the horrifying truths from the Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. That day they had a comprehensive exhibit about the treaties that Indian nations made with European settlers from the colonial period well into the 19th century. The story begins OK, but over time as America becomes more powerful the treaties become more transactional and their violation more common. Our country is "built" on values of freedom, liberty justice and whatnot, which sounds genuinely absurd, as the entire country was stolen from a people who were slaughtered and displaced, to make way for a people who were also displaced to work as slaves for the powerful white minority. This country was built on a stagnant pool of blood. The founders extolled enlightenment values at the same time that they were oppressing every non-white non-male group.
Thank you for this note. Learning this history does not mean someone should feel shame for being a US citizen. However, refusing to learn this history or barring others from learning this history is shameful. The electorate can choose how to proceed with this knowledge, whether to accept the past while making no changes, or to help undo a small fraction of the harms done to families who have less because their ancestors were oppressed. Whatever the decision, I hope people can be brave and honest to make decisions with their eyes wide open.
There's also a Bison reservation in Mexico (the country's only one) in Janos, a town on the northern state of Chihuahua. It started 14yrs ago with 23, so far they got to over 300
Very informative and interesting to know. There are now around 500,000 bison in the USA, but most live on reserves or ranches. Until recently, our crew got on camera the conservation efforts that made it possible to release the first bison group into the wilderness of Badlands National Park.
Not *humans*, but european settlers. Native americans coexisted with them and had them as their main source of food for centuries without endangering them
How were bison population numbers doing for 27000 of indigenous coexistence? If "humanity" was the problem, then bison wouldn't have existed for such a long time, yet in less than a century their existence nearly ended due to American colonialism, not "humanity".
Sometimes I am glad Bisons are still alive, but what the US did was unforgivable, trying to get rid of a species that survived the last Ice Age, only for it be at the edge of extinction. I remembered reading the same thing about Wisents in the Caucasus, that unfortunately went extinct, while the European Bison only managed to survive in Poland. But the biggest tragedy in wild cattle are the Aurochs, the Aurochs faced a devastated loss up until the second half of the 17th to the first half of the 18th century when the last wild Auroch became extinct, whereas the African Aurochs became extinct during the Roman Empire. Sometimes I just wish I could see those last remaining ice age megafauna in our modern world.

It is shocking the amount of atrocities committed against the indigenous communities in all countries of the Americas.

This played out almost exactly like the Irish Potato 'Famine'. In fact during this time period the Choctaw people sent aid to help the starving people in Ireland. In Co. Cork they have built a statue in gratitude of the Choctaw. It's called 'Kindred Spirits'. Like the Native Americans, the Irish were driven off their own land. When the 'famine' occurred we could not even forage or hunt on our own land since it was owned by the British. We did not even own the crops we grew, since they 'belonged' to the British landowners. When the Choctaw people heard of such a similar plight they sent the money to Ireland.
As an Indian I had a chapter in literature here in India that explains a story of a guy who thinks gonna be a farmer and horse trainer when he grows up and he decides to quit school. Later his father takes him to a native Indian colonies ruins where he shows him a room where the native population used to run schools and teach small kids and he says even the Indians gave education such importance even though they didn't had back then what we have now yet they studied.. that's my first introduction of the native Indian population of the Americas...
Dont worry in our timeline Tambora volcano (or Toba) almost exterminate all of us during our cave people years. We almost got dinosaur fate. That was close
A young buffalo builds up the courage to finally come out to his father... The father buffalo smiles and says, ''thank you for confiding in me, I always thought you were bison.''
Bison were targeted as a way to subdue Native American populations who relied on them for food, shelter, and cultural purposes. Additionally, the expansion of railroads and settlement led to bison being seen as a hindrance, as their massive herds obstructed railway tracks and grazing land for cattle. The decimation of bison herds was also a tactic to control and weaken Indigenous peoples, as well as to open up the land for settlement and development.
That was my thought as well, they did not respect life. I just can't understand that kind of mentality. A completely selfish and detached lifestyle to everything surrounding them.
Thanks for the teded and the owners ,to create these kind of short and animation vedios which have not been only help us by developing english knowledge , but also they can rich potentially our attitude for the nature and its biodiversity , thanks a lot for you 😊
It's amazing (yet not surprising) how no animal was extinct until colonists came. I love how the video shows how the Indigenous Americans respected nature and the animals, which is likely why even though there were millions of Indigenous Americans, the animals they used never went extinct. P.S. recent times as in 1600s onward
The mammoths were killed off by natives way before colonialism? And horses? Only reason native Americans had horses was because the Europeans brought them back over
An absolute brutal genius idea that was so close to working. It’s a scar that’ll take possibly hundreds of years to heal. It’s terrifying that if we as a species wants something dead, we’ll be dam sure of that.
You know you are messed up when the British tell you to calm down. What he didn't go on to say the British officer told the Colonel that he thought the Americans should negotiate with the Natives instead of killing them. The officer said that would never happen.
I saw that photo when I was looking up random stuff after I watched the movie Prey (yes, the latest Predator movie with a lead Native American). It still breaks my heart seeing multiple bisons skinned and just left to rot.
A lot of people don't realize that the Spanish invaders in the 17th century first introduced the riding horse to Native Americans. Before that Native Americans would hunt bison 🦬 using tactics such as driving bison off a cliff.
@@uanime1 I'm guessing that there might have been situations where the number of bison 🦬 driven off a cliff exceeded a Native American tribe's ability to use all of the dead bison meat at the bottom of the cliff. Perhaps a Native American tribe has an oral history that was written down about this...
The 'Buffalo jump" or impound was rarely used, and then only by Tribes living in the plains. Before European invasion, Bison were numerous from Canada down to Florida, and most Tribes did not use those techniques at all.
