- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2021
- For generations, the First Nations of the Northwest coast lived in fear of the Haida raiders. From their island strongholds, they would won slaves, wealth, and glory at the point of a dagger. Giving rise to a dazzling golden age of art and architecture.

I know I live on the other side of the planet (Australia), but how is it that I have never heard of the Haida before. Thank you for educating me - never too old to learn.
Never heard of the Haida until a destroyer in wows. Good boat. No disrespect, that is the first time i learned the name.
Same, sadly
I live in the USA and I haven't either.
Robyn W, I am in Aust too. Strangely I had a realisation about the passing of time of history & of mans lifetimes.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!!! Finally there's videos on Native American tribes, history etc. I'm not native American, but American and 40 year extreme lover of history, empires, civilizations etc. I've searched for years for info on the French & Indian war, King James War, and all the fascinating history of every Indian tribe, wars, culture, alliances etc. There is not hardly any info on any of this, especially on TH-cam. I could watch these for days. Half bag of weed and history vegging out, lol.
Speaking my language. Any recommendations?
@@katieamador22 Odyssey, Timeline, Kings and Generals off the top of my head 👍
Check out the diaries if the soldiers who were on the frontier as it moved west, and first accounts of whites living amongst the native Americans, it’s out there, but it’s written in books.
So you wanna fill your mind with knowledge but then destroy it with pot? Seems Controdictive.
@@youaresomeone3413 Yeah mate! Same as you sitting on your high horse, and then spelling contradictive wrong. Hope you enjoy your day 👋
Good video. My grandmother was 100% Mi'kmaq and grandfather was mixed French/Mi'kmaq out of northern Maine. There are hundreds of untold stories about the wars between the different nations, which you touched on at the beginning of this story. Hope you do more of that.
Not alone. Mom from New Brunswick, Canada; her mom - 100% & grandfather - Mix. Mi'kmaq. " A A ".
Aanii. Thank you for this amazing series! I've been binging on your episodes for the last few days. Thanks you for sharing the history from the First Nations' perspective. You have brought a wonderful balance to the account. While I'm a first generation Canadian, my family now embraces members from Anishnabe and Caribbean-African stock. Our stories, long intertwined, have now become personal. Thank you again ... Chi Migwetch!!
I was very fortunate to extensively explore Haida Gwaii when is was still called Queen Charlotte Island, back in the early 80's. It was an amazing place, and a trip that I still hold dear to my heart.
I grew up there, left in 1981 loved it and still do. My mom is there now. Notice the map was backwards? They said Masset in port Clements, and skidegate was in Masset . Lol
On my map it’s still Queen Charlotte Island as it should be. I have grown weary from all this going backwards nonsense. Changing the name of places back to what they were 200 years ago is ludicrous. To the victor go the spoils and that includes naming places. And no I won’t apologise for my ancestors doing what they did. They won.
They won but will you?
@@prepperjonpnw6482 Right. What they going to do next, rename America, Canada, Jamaica, Cuba....?
@@robertseavor4304 Yes, they should be renamed what the original citizens called them. Good idea!

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I was always impressed with the totem polls.
Same. Every single year of elementary school we would take a field trip to Blake Island (Tillicum) Unfortunately, everyone is there for the salmon bake and the gift shop and not paying attention to the actual history of people that were graciously hosting us.
Brilliant video , a part of history I have never heard so Interesting and informative
I am an Indigenous Member of the Capilano Nation of North Vancouver. As I recall historically our Two Nations the Haida and the Capilano were partner Nations.
I have much respect for your people, despite and because of our troubled history. Just remember this, the non-native people who say Europeans don't belong in America are the same people who advocate for mass immigration from every other part of the world. They are wolves in sheep's clothing to your people and use your homeland and history as nothing more than a political tool.
@@sh-hg4eg very well stated and factuaky Right 100%
all humans are Indigenous some were
Yes you’re correct. My ancestors were apart of this war. Learning and seeing it in video formation is honestly a blessing. But I also come from capilano! The name capilano comes from my ancestor cheif august jack Khatsahlano.
Great narration. Very well spoken
One day it will be in lingit,Haifa, and smylax
Great documentary, it shows a side of history never taught at school or college. A respectful correction: Continental Northwest/Pacific Northeast.
Suggest you do a program on the Pueblo revolt of 1680. I believe it was the only successful first nation revolt in the. Western Hemisphere
Oka.
You need to research the Seminole tribes of Florida. The US gov gave up on removing the Seminole tribes to Oklahoma.
The Chumash of southern California were also a great seafaring culture, depending on whaling once a year, and fishing and hunting seals up and down the coast, having had run ins with the Haida more then once. The Haida had contact with the Hawaiian people and besides trading they also interbred with them. Many of the images of certain fish and animals found on Haida totem poles are almost exactly the same as those same animals images carved by Hawaiian, and the Haida war club was almost exactly what most Polynesian tribes used as well.
They were bragging about having slaves and going raids in the first part, then when someone comes around who’s better suddenly they’re victims. I wonder what the people they enslaved thought?
I don’t think what happened was right or just but you can’t be an aggressor and play victim
When a stronger aggressor comes a overtakes you.
Exactly. Again, another modern hypocrisy is that many of the people who cite this narrative about natives being displaced are simultaneously advocating for mass immigration from all over the world into the same territory.
Right! They have to run with that white man bad narrative all of the time!
Spend 30 mins talking about how badass and equally capable they were to Europeans - and she still says “how does genocide feel”…. Makes me cringe every time. Genocide is different than loosing the fight. And loosing the fight doesn’t indicate the level or amount of effort put into said fight. We deserve to give ourselves more credit. Ourselves meaning the story of our ancestors. Because we’re still here.
The battle of Little Horn as good example, yes?
I think comparing today police brutally on those chose to resist arrest is good example.
It's a good battle but you'll end up losing the war against a well equipped force.

Just a question,
Why are the badges of the Chief blurred ??
Trying to find that answer.
Been scrolling down the comments for about 5 minutes now...
Fascinating, thank you.
Awesome channel I've been fascinated by our history since I was a child
So are the Haida now going to have to pay reparations to their coastal neighbors?
No because they didn’t “conquer” them
@@numbnumbjuice3375 No, they only turned them into slaves.
Very interesting. Many thanks :)
When I was growing up on Whidbey Island near coupeville Washington there is a historic site called Ebey's landing where Captain Ebey's was decapitated by the Vancouver native Americans if I remember correctly and later on his head was returned to be buried with his body. Found between fort Casey and coupeville Washington
Really interesting program. Thank you for sharing it cause here in France, we do not get information about how the earth was cut into pieces to satisfy gread of british, spanish or portuguese, hollandais, french, and, a New nation called usa but its People was europeans not native americans. Thank you again cause it also expose the native américain point of view. Too rare. Thanks to all of you. Namasté

The lady got Darwin wrong - Not the strongest survive, rather than the ones who adapt first.
That’s basically what that means… the strongest adapt and survive.. so Darwin did have it right..
@@jmrrrdann3369 No, that's not what it means. The most adaptable survive. There is no requirement that they be the strongest. They just have to be the best able to fit into their environment, hence the survival of the fittest. People always get that wrong because, largely because Darwin spoke English, not American English.
@@jmrrrdann3369 The other way around/Darwin
@@jmrrrdann3369 I agree with you. Strength doesn't always mean physical strength. Adaptability and fitness are also obvious strengths.
In other, never bring knifes to a guns fight.
Never knew at all about the Haida armor!🙌🙌🙌
Really diggin that jacket bro
I would also love to hear the Hieda's own interpretations of interactions with the Sasquatch people in their region.
What are you talking about? "Sasquatch" is a made up word by a non-native named James Burns who was published on April 1st, 1929 in McLeans Magazine. Note the date - April 1st!
@@BobSoltis1 Liar
Just call them Sabe to limit the number of ignorant responders.
@@BobSoltis1 The "furry people" have been talked about by many tribes and peoples of North America well before the early 20th century. Please look further into things before "calling someone out."
@@TheDukeOfDallas I have researched the phenomenon for decades. Obviously far more than you have. No West Coast tribes talked about "furry people". They had stories about "wild men" who were smaller than normal but human in appearance. Absolutely nothing like sasquatch (again - a made up name by a white man).
If you have anything to offer as evidence - not just stories told to get books sold or TV shows made - but actual evidence...fill your boots.
I'll be waiting.

I am proud to be haida I hope there's other brothers and sisters that see this 🤙
Which clan 🤔
@@cray-z7404 wolf clan
Why is this titled the "Untold" story? This story is as one as the Haida presence and known since the European contacts. "Told", in other words.
I'd never heard of the haida people until they renamed the Queen charlottes. Probably why it's considered untold is because it's not a well known story
@@amandabeaty1492 Then it should have been title "Not Well Known". I grew up in Bellingham, WA, USA and the area Salish tribe Lummi Nation had plenty of stories to share with us about the epic slave raids of the Haida people in their massive ocean going canoes. I was born in 1952 well before the Queen Charlottes were renamed Haida Gwaii in modern times.
@@anna-lisagirling7424 Born and raised in Edmonton. I've never met a haida person. So I wouldn't know.

It's always the same old story of strong people oppressing weak people until someone stronger comes along and does the same thing to them. The coastal tribes were not innocent against the weaker tribes just as the European powers were not innocent against the natives.
Yes but they didn't exterminate each other to the point of no existance.
Before white man came there almost 120.000.000 native americans,nowdays there is less than 200.000.
Don't compare frogs and grandmothers.
Western colonial European powers are the scurge of this planet.
@@emilianozapata2530 His point is about the peoples abuse of power. Firstly most native Americans died to disease not warfare. Second who is to say if one of the tribes had the technology and strength of that of europeans they wouldn't have acted similar to that of the europeans.
Human nature is neither right or wrong
@@Wam01 the natives tribes of America didint fight to exterminate each other or to force their way onto others, and they never had the greed for money which is really the reason why the Europeans did what they did
@@numbnumbjuice3375 But they did fight to exterminate each other. And they did have greed for money. You saw it in this documentary they fought each other for slaves to buy guns from the europeans.
I've taken many American History and World History courses, this is the part that was missing, the first Nations version of events, now it all makes since.

You forgot about Kasaan and Hydaburg Alaska. Still Haida, still here.
How did they build at such large scale, moved such large stones, at the edge of cliffs... without electrical machinery or tools.
How long did it take them to build in such fashion? Can an estimate year of when they started to build be calculated?
Did their population and provisions allow for their building endeavors? Did they give priority to building over defending themselves, or did they hire someone to build, of did they defend and build simultaneously?....the narrative doesn’t make sense without this data
Slave labor did a great deal of the physical work. That is how the Coastal Tribes gained wealth. Straight cedar logs are easily split to long boards and they made building longhouses and defenses pretty easy. The boards just had to be thick enough to stop stone tipped arrows from rawhide strung bows. North American tribes did not have the powerful long-bow technology that other cultures had.
Canoes were made by controlled burning and stone tools. Cedar is also quite light and soft compared to most other woods so that made it easier to work the wood and move the finished product.
The ocean dwelling natives had a great advantage in that they had the ocean's bounty for food all year around. Interior tribes had to get their food sources killed and dried for the winter season which could be months of bitterly cold weather. This advantage led to the Coastal nation's ability to spend more time on building structures and war material - both offensive and defensive - as well as building things for cultural purposes.
Wow very interesting I learn so much more from documentaries and from the comments below thank goodness for technology because now we can all conversate ask questions and get answers awesome God bless
You can actually go watch different tribes today build ancient boats entirely by hand,in traditional fashion. There might even be a video on here of the Powhatan doing it at Jamestown. People act like natives didn’t farm,build,or trade. Powhatan women built every longhouse and they were often huge. My mothers tribes had Cahokia and it was a city as big as London. Our Pyramids were made of the earth. We used boats and waterways as our highways. At Cahokia,there is proof of massive trading all the way from the Mississippi region into Polynesia. Once you start digging into how each tribe was different,it’s fascinating. Now days we have discovered ancient ways weren’t always wrong! Native Hawaiians still use a handmade 800year old fishing lake today!
@@decemberkat exactly… we even crafted our own medicine from nature, we know how to build more than one type of dwelling from a wigwam, Tipi, Longhouse, and all that. We weren’t entirely useless without modern technology.
The first Spanish sailors came in 1775???? What BS is this?
