      I get the feeling this is also the same here in Mexico. We learn about the Spanish (Occupation by the Arabs, Reconquista, the Catholic Kings), and the history of Mexico before the Colony is really brushed aside. I don't know how much is Eurocentrism, and how much is actual lack of information.

      So while killing of the buffalo was cruel, it was necessary to stop the Comanche, who were crueler beyond repute. The territory they held was because of the vicious attacks they used to conquer and preserve from others, including other American Indians. No doubt the sin the US committed against American Indians is awful, though the cruelty of the Comanche makes it hard to show them grace. They practiced torture for the sake of torture, no doubt people can adapt and change. Though the old Comanche were the enemies of anyone.

      one way to support the preservation is to support the current indigenous communities in your area! They are working incredibly hard to not only keep their traditions alive but resurrect old traditions that they were forced to abandon due to the American governments forcible assimilation attempts. Not only that but many indigenous practices may help us save the environment because many of the first nations lived by keeping the natural world in balance (the wild fire prevention brush burnings in the west coast for one, the farming techniques of the east coast nations are another). We have a lot to learn from them!

    The comanches were brutal, they were sort of like the French, British etc imperialists in a sense. They knew how to use horses unlike other tribes which made them superior and warriors, I'm not saying they were bad I'm saying it gives you a different idea of the tribes which isn't taught. Comanches were a warrior people

    I keep reading comments claiming that this isn't discussed in American public schools. No. ONLY the bad is nowadays discussed in public schools. Not the good at all including the push toward slavery from the beginning or as just window dressing.

    Peta was killed during the offensive where Quanah and his brother fled and his mother and sister captured. Until his dying day, Quanah denied his father was even there in order to protect his legacy…because it was a total failure on the part of the great chief. People don’t talk about that because of Quanah’s denial, but the death of Peta played a massive role in the Comanches’ ability to fight the war against the whites.

    It’s nermernuh, not numuny. Not sure why you guys couldn’t just google that or reference one of the many books about Quanah.
    The history of the transition from Nermernuh to (what we call) Comanche is really incredible and worth its own video.

    Great lesson! But, one correction, I think! I may be wrong but weren't these buffaloes you are taking about bisons really? Or am I wrong?

    • @miro.georgiev97
      @miro.georgiev97 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The words are often used interchangeably in American English. Technically, it'd be more correct to call them bisons, but buffalo is not entirely incorrect. You know how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square? Same principle: A bison is a kind of buffalo, but not all buffalo are bisons.

    This looks like the art of war and the game of go
    Divide and make territories,but Always have a strong connection betwen your territories, and divide the opponent/s to win the most territories
    See the battlefield as a go (baduk, igo, etc) board , see your settlements , have a central base , and spread with logic and intelligence through the board
    Remember "win" does not mean destroy
    To win a war you have to sign a treat of peace
    Because the objective of war is not genocide or any type of mass murder ,the objective is a treat peace that in the end gives you more territory or a advantage

    Is it steeling the land or conquering it? This is a genuine question, is there a difference? I don't think people would say that King William the Conqueror, stole England from the Anglo-Saxons, or that Caesar stole the Gauls ancestral land. What is the distinction?
