The Mysterious History of the Beothuk Indigenous Peoples in Newfoundland, Canada

- The colonization of North America has impacted many, many different groups over the
history of Canada and the United States. One of the most tragic stories is that of the Beothuk
who are said to have gone extinct in 1829 when their last member died of Tuberculosis. But
what really happened to them? Mi’kmaq and Innu oral history tell us that the Beothuk may have survived.

It's so unsettling to think of groups of humans as going extinct.
We are still here!!!!!! I am an Anstey!!!!
@DJ Big Boss Bassis I wonder if we are related !!!
were still here
In my opinion they are not extinct. They've been relocated to other islands and places as slaves and fully indoctrinated into forgetting their identity with brutality and trauma based mind control 😔 they are still here and don't know it.
@@GingerStone exactly! We are here! Although alot of the beothuk died from colonization from Europeans, & the innuit, Some even still are in Newfoundland, like my family. We had no idea until this year! The stories were lost after my greatx4 grandmother passed, some of us live in Ontario now, ive done ancestory research that traces us to Saskatchewan as well.

"there is strong evidence that *ancestors* of the Beothuk are still alive"
I think the author may have meant "descendants", lol.
Yeah The Natives in labrador we're their closest relatives I wonder if I share their DNA?
These are Mikmaq Innu who are making this video they stole my families Beothuk remains to make fed money's. I am Beothuk with Mitachondria Haplogroup Mtdna C1c matching Demasduit Beothuk
I find this to be an interesting read: journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/Acadiensis/article/download/12241/13085/16423
He may have meant the decedents of their ancestors are alive today. That's not the same thing.
Meaning that the Beothuk are extinct but the groups that the Beothuk first split off from still have descendants alive today. This would make the Beothuk extinct cousins of today's aboriginal peoples rather than a direct descendent lineage.
Great video though.
@@carolreynolds8356 VIA KING'S
A Mi’kmaq elders in my community told me that she was part Beothuk I think from her great grandfather I’m not positive but she is a Mi’kmaq woman who practices her culture and speaks her native tongue. She was born Mi’kmaq and will continue to be Mi’kmaq. I’ll talk to her after Covid restrictions cool down in Nova Scotia I’ll see if I could get anymore information regarding her grandfathers history and if it was her grandfather or another member of her family that connects her to the Beothuk. Thank you for this video it was awesome!
So I have an update she said the Beothuks were hunted like dogs and were slaughtered to extinction and to not believe “This starvation bullshit” she seemed very passionate about sharing the true horror behind their extinction and she also confirmed that some did escape to live with Mi’kmaq and Innu people. This statement she gave me took me by surprise because I never seen her so upset before but I guess she really just wants the history books corrected and the story to be told in the First Nations point of view instead of the people who bring them to extinction.
@@noahmatthews-cremomb2562 Yeah, the Mi'kmaq hunted them down and got money from the Europeans. The Mi'kmaq are not from Newfoundland, they came over from Nova Scotia and helped the Europeans hunt them down.
@@blackaria2011 correct,there was a "Bounty" on the heads of the Beotuck, by The Europeans that was suppose to be lifted but it never was... the likes of Rowsell.Cull and many settlers (French and English ,irish,Mikmaq) collected money for killing the Beotucks.... They were also take as slaves and shipped overseas..sadly... So DNA and Mitochondria DNA can prove it that they are still decendants of The Beotuks alive."Food For Thought">>>> lt is very highly likely that the Beotucks and Europeans did have Intimate Relationships,Remember, Newfoundland was very Desolate ans sparsely populated and settlers live many miles apart in some case without any nearby neighbors and l feel that Beotuck ancestry blood is still here in Newfoundland and Labrador. ty
@@blackaria2011 sources?
@@avery5471 it's in our history or can you read
@6:10
My family are descendants of Irish fisherman who arrived in Newfoundland in the 1700s. Stories about how men would go out to "hunt the Indians for fun" have been passed down in my family. I don't know how true they are but based on my family's oral history, I'm inclined to believe that British/Irish settlers played a larger role than what most people think.
I’m native n my heritage is from Scotland? Idk
Oh yeah definitely, it's called western propaganda. And the western world always writes history
I am from Newfoundland and also have heard stories of lone natives being murdered for taking livestock, fishing gear and such. Not so much local raids but individual murders.
Same what I heard to
Ethnic groups ceased to exist due to cultural assimilation rather than genocide. The Beothuks ceased to exist as their last remaining members are most likely assimilated into either Newfoundland's European settlers or the Mikmaq people. It is no surprised that the Beothuks have living descendants in Newfoundland among the White Canadians or other First Nations.
@The contradictory Lad They are no longer exist as a distinct ethnic group. Their numbers had declined due to conflict with European and other First Nations as well as contracting diseases that they have no immunity. The last remaining survivors become assimilated into White Canadian population as well as other First Nations populations. Current DNA technology is more advanced and is able to identity Beothuk genetic markers in both White Canadians and First Nations.
Beothics ceased to exist because the Mikmaq genocided them.
All we have left here on the Rock are the useless migmaw that helped wipe out our Beautiful Beothuk
My family is from exploits island, and being brown skinned myself they always compared me to shawnadhitit as a child. We pronounced her name "Shawna ditty" and i remember visiting the graves of some of the people mentioned in the video. I love that island
Some of the last beothuc fled newfoundland across the strait of belle isle to join up with the montangnais,there is no record of this only oral history from the local people.
Im a little confused about tuberculosis. Are we Canadians just resistant to it and everytime we have a cold it's potentially a native American genocide brewing in our lungs for a couple weeks?
The gov't probably jabbed them, hence TB Dx.
My great great great grandmother is Beothuks. It's sad how they were treated. When she passed she was buried in the back yard of her house because she wasn't allowed in the graveyard. It's that horrible...she is still there to this day. Family members look after her grave site. But I have become more and more interested to know the Beothuks. Also you pronounced Beothuk haha it's like Bi-o-tuck..just an FYI :))
My grandmother's grandmother was a Beothuk taken from her tribe as a child by white colonists and raised in the colonist way of life. I am only just finding out about it and educating myself about my Beothuk ancestors. Thank you for posting this.
As a fellow Desrosiers I'd be interested in learning more from you.
@@androiduser8482 Desrosiers family moves a lot. Where did you end up? 🙂
@@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156 Toronto Born. But Calgary now.
I'm Mi'kmaq from Ktaqamkuk and the Beothuk used to live on the coast around the town that I grew up in (before there was a town there). We have found tons of their artifacts over the years and years ago myself and a few others actually went with Misel Joe to recover some Beothuk birch bark artifacts on a nearby island. Some of the Ktaqamkuk Mi'kmaq may have some Beothuk DNA because those same areas are now territories of Mi'kma'ki.
A inuit motivational visited my school awhile back, she told a story about really short, but really strong people. Her elders said that they could carry large amounts of food no problem. She just said it was a mystery what happened to them, but she said it was most likely due to them marrying Inuit men
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, because there's so many inuit in Newfoundland. Any inuit live in Labrador. Ask the Micmacs from Nova Scotia what happened to them when they got land and money to slaughter the Beothuks.
@@blackaria2011 they may have had a small hand in it. It was mostly welsh and Irish
Beothuk were known to be tall for natives, and had a red ochre body paint they wore. I think they are the first to be called the "Red Indians".
@@boolean711 it is still possible that they did get together with the Vikings when they came.
Judging by how many Beothuk sites are all around the whole island of Newfoundland, there has to be some Mi'kmaq with Beothuk in them aswell ( and research published in 2020 confirms this ).. Its just highly unlikely even if they were sworn enemies, just thousands of people over dozens of generations. The culture is not forgotten though, search up a Beothuk canoe, their red ochre paint, etc.. I had a great history teacher back when I was a kid who knew alot about all of this, gave us a like 2 month long in class project on the Beothuk.
haha the same teacher also gave us a claymation project, what a legend ( we were 10 )... Wish I could recall the teachers name.
"During the colonial period, the Mi'kmaq were allied with the French. As a result, when the French were defeated by the British in 1763, the Mi'kmaq in Newfoundland were regarded with suspicion by British authorities." For those who say the Mi'kmaq came to Newfoundland later.
And the west coast of Newfoundland was considered "The French Coast" Back in the day where France had exclusive fishing rights on the west coast and Britain on the East. But a different French then what is Quebec's french, sparsely, some archaic french still exists to this day ( Mainland is one of the communities that is french still, then of course st.pierre.), its pretty interesting stuff actually.
The DNA and the archeology confirm that the MicMac came very late to Newfoundland. I understand now-from David Benson-that there was formal permission for the MicMac to come to Newfoundland in two movements- I assume Conne River and on the West Coast. That would be after 1760s. There were MicMacs settled in the same community of some of my family on Sound Island-and nearby Pipers Hole. My relative and micmacs provided James Howley with supplies and guides on his first inland trip. My family also worked with the Micmac to set up postal service to central Newfoundland. The Micmac have made a significant contribution along with other settlers.
@@boolean711 The French originally fished along the South Coast of Newfoundland, They were given St Pierre and Miquelon by the Treaty of Utrecht 1713 and the French Shore was established. Then, they vacated Plaisance. Its settlers were sent to Cape Breton as Louisbourg was built.
I'm glad you actually pronounce Newfoundland like we do here as Newfies. 🤗
I'm Newfie also - gotta represent! 😄
Funny how we lost our culture so fast .. listening to us online , Many of us lost our lingo ... it's mostly due to the internet and trying to talk "properly " ..

Speak to me. The MIKMAQ and Inuit are not Beothuk. The Beothuk are in the Beothuk FIRST NATION TRIBE OSA ANA. The MIKMAQ with the INUIT WHO made this video are committing FRAUD.
I will be holding Beothuc day at Indian point July 6 to give awareness of the people an hold there name in ceremony for respect come an injoy a true Beothuc experience
Newfoundlander Mi'qmak Here 🖐️
There is no such thing as a Mic maw from Newfoundland
@@Smitty-tc4ni in fact there is and we are recognized. My ancestors travelled here many many years ago...
@Smitty-tc4ni are you stupid?
Yes there is I’m a newfie from corner brook
John Peyton Sr. Was my grandfather x6. At the opening of the Beothuk Interpretation Centre in Boyd’s Cove Mary Walsh shouted Indian Killer at me……tongue in cheek as is her wont. Mine is a sad family legacy.
There was a viking named Beotuk in 1050 that traveled to Vineland
For all I know I could have some in my blood either way I love my mikmaq roots :3
So happy I'm mikmaq
It makes me kind of sad... considering.
Im definitely Mi'kmaq on two grandparents side, maybe three. The third may be Beothuk. Im also english and norse. My family has been in newfoundland since the 17-1800s. There was a lot of conflict and hardship but im proof some settlers were caring people. Many of the settlers were peasants, kept in poverty by the british government and mechants.
Why?
Several Miꞌkmaw institutions, including the Grand Council, had argued that the Qalipu Miꞌkmaq Band did not have legitimate aboriginal heritage and was accepting too many members…as in one-fifth of the population of the island of Newfoundland (100,000 out of a half million residents), compared to nonexistent presence in the community prior. The Government had professed at the time of confederation in 1949 that there were “no Indians in Newfoundland. Now there are 1 out of 5? Based on self-declaration to gain access to “status” and the benefits therein. I can find zero anthropological/enthological written evidence that the Mi’kmaq were/are indigenous to Newfoundland. There is evidence of migration from Nova Scotia, but not that they were ever indigenous to the island of Newfoundland. The recent formation of the QALIPU band appears to have as much or more to do with economic and social benefits available to First Nations People as it does to legitimate blood quantum or cultural motivations.

Interesting history, but the background music is too loud!

ok
500-700 people cannot live around the perimeter of this island as it’s outlined in red here. The island is just too huge. That many lived in one small area of the island. They traveled far and wide but not too often in bays in birch bark canoes. They didn’t have too, the rivers and sea and land provided.
Does anyone wanna talk about how there are photographs of these people? Shawnadithit (also known as Nance or Nancy April), the last Beothuk (born circa 1800-6 in what is now NL; died 6 June 1829 in St. John's, NL). A discovery in a dusty attic may change the history of commercial photography. Westlicht, a private photo gallery and auction house in Vienna, plans to auction off on May 26 what is most likely the world's oldest commercially manufactured camera.
Up to now, experts said that apart from some documents there was no proof that the so-called "Daguerreotype," a wooden sliding box camera produced by the Paris company Susse Freres in 1839, really existed. Discovered as part of an inheritance in Germany, the antique piece will allow photography enthusiasts rewrite history. So if those photos weren't taken with a commercially available camera ??? What was it ? Military tech lol . Put your crayons down ffs . You're too dumb to rewrite history . 🍀💚✝️
Another expedition that ended in death was the capture of Demasduit by John Peyton Jr, a local merchant of Exploits, and his party, in 1819. In this encounter her husband, Chief Nonosabasut and his brother were shot dead.
But there are photos of both of these men readily available online . I thought at first it was one man with two wives . If cameras were not comercially available . Who took the pictures?
Johann Zahn designed the first camera in 1685. But the first photograph was clicked by Joseph Nicephore....The first partially successful photograph of a camera image was made in approximately 1816 by Nicéphore Niépce, using a very small camera of his own making and a piece of paper coated with silver chloride, which darkened where it was exposed to light. You can view this photo online ...it's terrible quality. The photos of the Beothuk clearly taken at a much later date.
So Nazis had cameras before they were commercially available;) gotcha ! But those photos still appear much newer imo . ..but it don't matter. ..either way Nazis are unimaginably dumb.
Wilhelm Zahn (29 July 1910 - 14 November 1976) was a German Kriegsmarine officer during the Second World War.
There are photos of Nancy April?
Found out that i shared a common ancestor with the Beothuk people through maternal dna test and it was shock but I wanna learn alot of the history
Im a Newfoundland Mi’kmaq, though the Beothuk may be culturally gone their DNA lives on in us, I’ve always know, glad science and DNA confirmed it.
Beothuk where murdered by the Micmac that where brought from NovaScotia by both the French and English. No Micmac history in Newfoundland other than that!
Are there any Beothuk that still exist
Not to any ones knowledge. There are no Indigenous people left that were native to Newfoundland. Any Indigenous there now came from nova scotia.
There's people likely descended from them, but they aren't a distinct ethnic group. They went "extinct," basically.
They found the Beothuk DNA in Tennessee in 2020. Some did escape with their life, and in Newfoundland folklore and culture, many of us believe and truly know they still live on.
Btw I was born in St. John’s and lived in Stephenville as a child so it’s very close to my heart ❤️
music too loud... beo thuk was the first of many nations to fall... pretty soon we will all be im museums... for our safety... and then who will be the next threat to progress?
Probably as close to accurate account as Ive seen. I studied the topic at mun. The conclusion I came to reading all the papers was early on the beothuk had interactions positive and negative with Europeans in 1600s. Then it seems there is big blank spot in history books. It seems they would burn structures made by migratory English fishery for metal when they'd leave in fall, so they must of had a falling out. It seems whomever led beothuk choose to retreat into interior where they mostly died of not accessing resources on coast and European diseases and pressure/ conflict from Peyton men ( or so far as Europeans could make out) its definitely a part of history could be put into inconclusive pile.
Ofcourse, there is no shortage of Newfoundland over simplified theories. Newfoundland was hard spot with limited seasonal food resources. A bad season on any two of these resources is dire straits.
i'm from nfld. one great great granmother was an indian. i don't know what tribe. when i had my genes done and i'm 1% north american or asian. not much but a touch is still there. have fun
Wooow ❤
Newfoundland is a beautiful province with a dark history and still a dark underbelly alive today. Its a shame ....No one talks about the truth ....The media paints lies about it .
Wouldn’t say dark, at least compared to the rest of Canada. And in reality every inch and millimetre of the world has negative history to some extent, really nothing special to Newfoundland.
Leary, not weary.
My Mother is a Anstey(Beothuk) & My dad is a Guy - no wonder I've been so conflicted with myself my entire life, my ancestors hate each other
The Red Indian died long ago so you are very mistaken. I'm sure you are migmaw from Nova Scotia or New Brunswick
@Thenightfly "red Indian" lol before you tell me about my own ancestry & ancestors be sure to do your own research on how using the term "red indian" is problematic & wrong 🙄
They definitely had contact with the Norse it wasn’t a maybe
Just another “Injustice” of the first PP’s of Canada… not surprised
How similar are Inuit and Algonquian languages?
Not similar at all
🍀...
Balls
i feel like we are amur leopards of human world.
Good go to my Facebook and find out the truth and be a activist against Mikmaq and Inuit STEALING Beothuk remains from living Beothuk First Nation OsaAna people. This video promotes the theft of Beothuk Demasduit remains by the Mikmaq & Inuit to steal land rights of the surviving Beothuk First Nation Tribe OsaAna. See family tree DNA Mitachondria Haplogroup Video results and you will know I am Beothuk at Facebook: Carol Songofjoy Songofjoy.
After that spread the word and you will be clean
some facts are distorted
Beothuk nation do you still exist
EU and Mi'qmaw descent...Did I do that? >.>
Do any beouthuk still exist
not in "pure" form. the last person died in the early 1800s but of course decedents probably exists.
There's people likely descended from them, but they aren't a distinct ethnic group. They went "extinct," basically.
Who's here because of from theories
I think a lot of indigenous peoples grew tired of the Europeans, ha! ha! That was an understatement.
what the...... 😒🤔
The Methodist fisherman of Small Point-Adam's Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, NL over settled and over fished the area Killing off the coastal food supply . The Beothuks' main food sources were caribou, fish, and seals; their emigration deprived them of two of these. Many of the Irish Catholics in the Area of Small Point were converted the Methodist fate because it was better for your fishing enterprise if you were of the English fate. They pressured settlers from Gussets Cove to move down the coast to places like Western Bay and others. Now today people buy up homes from a middle class come from a far gentrifying the area not hiring local workers and putting in their own people in key areas by promoting local key favorites in government jobs to dominate local Council.. You can't even wash your body or face if you are Metis like your ancestors did for centuries. Like me mudder said townies nothing but rapers and plunderers. You can't even farm in the area without the MUN alumni investment club premission because they don't want you to scare away all the middle class tourists because of all of the Airbnb's they own in the area.. History of gentrification in this area and the heritage committee won't even recognize this history . Airbnb's drive up prices for local young people and takes up rental spaces.. Do your own research WASPS like to white and green wash history to suit their truth..
They called them red indians. I tried to paint a picture’ that they was savages. Not true. It’s was them
The white man happened to them

Oh shut up. She was a free woman, and paid a salary by the judge John Peyton Jr, and given a place to stay at his home. Very compassionate of him, considering her clan spent decades robbing his father blind.
Not only that, she was treated with respect in every way, and provided the Beothuk Institution almost everything we know about them. That’s more than can be said about these Mikmak in the comments posing as the “living relatives” of the Beothuk.
@@Chewable396 that island was never the cuckasoids, they robbed the land from the beothuk and committed genocide.
@@avery5471y and every piece of evidence or research you’ll find all show the Beothuk died from things like diseases, starvation, natural causes etc. Of course there is some dark stuff but I definitely wouldn’t say genocide or compare Newfoundlands tame history to other parts of Canada
Buried under the schools
There were no residential schools in the area. The Maritimes didn't really buy in the residential schools. There was one in Nova Scotia, but that was it.
residential schools were never built in Newfoundland, all research and evidence points to the Beothuk dying from natural causes like diseases for example.
The province absolutely had a lot because of Labrador but not the island portion, during this time the Newfoundland was its own country so you cannot compare its history to other places in Canada.
