- On October 5th, 1898, a fight erupted that would be remembered in history. The Battle of Sugar Point, also known as the Battle of Leech Lake, saw a small band of Pillager Ojibwe warriors hold off a much larger force of US soldiers. This clash marked the culmination of tensions between the Ojibwe and the US government, fueled by disputes over land rights, resources, and treatment of Native American people.
Before the battle of Sugar Point, the Pillager band of Ojibwe or Chippewa from Leech Lake in Minnesota, were treated harshly by the settlers. Such was the case for all Indigenous people in North America at the time. Also, logging companies worked on deforestation of the land sacred to the Natives. All these problems led to what is today called "The last Native American uprising in the United States".

Did you know about this battle before this video?
Fuick the US Forces, they were out of their League....
No
nope, once again really interesting video
Nope.
No
I learned about this when I decided to stop at a historical marker on Leech Lake. It was the launching point for the amry.
As an irishman, I've always been interested in native American history and culture, due to their help to us during our famine, and the historical parallels. I love this channel, it's an engaging way to learn such stories, even small-scale stuff like this.
How did they help the Irish during the Famine?
@patavinity1262 almost immediately after their trail of tears, when they were poor and had nothing, the choctaw nation donated $170 (a huge amount for the time) to help the irish during the famine. Ever since, ireland and the choctaw have had a great relationship, with the Irish returning the favour by helping choctaw study in Ireland and donating money to help them.
@@danielrooney7964 That is $170 when the official rate of exchange between US dollars to an ounce of gold was $20
See if you can find a copy of “Mr.Dooley in Peace and War” by Finley Peter Dunne.
@@danielrooney7964 They had nothing? No, they sold as much as they had and bought slaves to take with them during relocation.
The last apache raid in the u.s was in 1924. And the last apche raid in 1933 in mexico.
Link?
@@StDavidpipes The last Apache raid into the United States occurred as late as 1924 when a war party of natives, who were later caught and arrested, stole some horses from Arizonan settlers. I just googled it, am sure u can too.
WOW! And here's me thinking that Wounded Knee was the last Indian vs U.S. Army conflict! Thanks for sharing this with a wider audience!
There were some sort of problems on the border in the southwest, but I do not know the details.
Well, there was also the crazy snake rebellion in 1909, the bluff war in 1915, and the posey war in 1923.
Although I think the bluff war was the last one with direct army intervention.
@@loquat4440the last raid in the southwest was by “bronco Apache” from Mexico who lived their traditional way of life up into the 1930s, the last instance of a raid by them on US soil was in 1924 when they crossed the border into the U.S. after that they just lived in the Mexican mountains (Sierra madres) until the mid 1930s or so. Really cool stuff, highly recommend looking into the bronco Apache
1925 in Oregon was the last official Indian wars. I got family that was on both sides of the battle. But this here. Was a real good one too.
Please say more
@@unkownhistory7660 Doesn't look like they will :(
Wow this is so amazing is great to hear these stories about Native American Indians
Ojibwa
I served in the US Army with an Ojibwe her name was Sarah Little Wolf.
The love of my life was half Ojibwa, loved her more than any other.
@@donaldseigel4101I luv u more big daddy
@@Basement811 Lol, thanx
Rick Goose was a fellow Soldier and friend of mine. Also Ojibwe from Leech Lake area.
Hi mate
Thanks for sharing another fantastic video presentation 🇦🇺 😊
Before the very small Ojibwe Indian war of 1898. The Ghost dance uprising of 1890 - 91. A very terrible troubles on the western Lakota sioux indian reservations of south Dakota. 29 us soldiers and nearly 3 hundred Lakota sioux Indian warrior people were killed at the wounded knee massacre December 29th 1890. 6 us soldiers were killed in action during the Drexel mission fight December 30 1890. Lietentant Casey the last us soldier killed in action on January 7th 1891. By plenty horses own rifle on white clay road west of the town of pine ridge. After a fail negotiations! Ending the final chapter of the Great indian wars! My great inspiring wisdom for today. Have a great fabulous wonderful day.😀
This is why the 2nd Amendment exists.
Except the constitution has no ground on tribal lands as they are a sovereign nation, this was an inter government fight not one of citizens rising up against the government
@@bingisbahn3374so your saying the natives don't have armed guards at there casinos 😂
@@spencersecrest6001 have you been lobotomized
@@bingisbahn3374 do the natives not have armed guards lol
@@spencersecrest6001 yes but so do casinos in Monaco but that doesn’t mean they gain their powers through the US constitution, dolt
Please do the Seminole wars, it was the USA first experience in jungle warfare & the longest most costliest Indian war which resulted in the Seminole successful evading relocation
The unconquered!!! Yes!! 🖐️ Thank you!! I am Rodger a very proud Seminole tribal member!! The Seminole Nation in Florida!! The unconquered!! The only native American tribe to never surrender or sign a peace ✌️ treaty!!!👊💯☝️☺️
@@Roger-lt9fe
Much credit was due to
Osceola and as a Black man, THE GREAT JOHN HORSE!!!
Thanks for this. I thought Wounded Knee was the last major encounter between the US Army and Native Americans.
Sometimes Americans, native or immigrant (I am both) have to forcibly resist govt injustice to receive justice. It is our legacy from the founding, it is in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
It's why the 2nd amendment is so important, without the ability to arm, train, and organize, all other rights can't be fought for.
Nothing is absolute: my grandmother from Rousseau County told me if it wasn't for First Nations teaching the Swedes and Norwegians how to boil bark to prevent pneumonia/scurvy/severe colds they would not have survived. By 1905 my grandparents would walk across the border and Homestead in the Rainy River District. Grandpa scouted and was a bull cook in the bush in Lake-of-the-Woods and spoke at least two native dialects. The Mennonite and Scandinavian communities traded all the time with natives. People homesteaded in the LOTW area from all over the world. A tiny United Nations.
It so much to even get my people to listen. That letter was eloquent and only ignored.
Thank you for bringing these things to light.
No man should ever have to suffer one night in Duluth.
😂 right?
The Ojibwe defeated the fearsome Lakota Dakota too. They had the best strategist of tribes military wise
😂👌🏻
The Ojibwe had a lot of help from the French and their firearms in displacing the Lakota hence forcing them to the northern plains where the Lakota became the undisputed rulers of these lands.
The Ojibwa defeated the Lakota and Iroquois, two of the most fearsome North American Native nations in history.
@@mirodimitrov7415 At the time the French only had traders, and frontiersman in that area. The French were mainly in the Mississippi area, and Quebec, the Lakota, and Iroquois also had guns from French and British traders.
@@donaldseigel4101 If the Ojibwe are such badasses why did they sign treaties and allow their people and land to get colonized?
There was a big native uprising in Utah in 1923.

this was right where i grew up
This should be a movie guys
I lived in Taylorsville Kentucky you guys got it all wrong there was actually an Indian attack in 1908 on Taylorsville Kentucky look it up.
Same Gov still in charge today. ?
Great battle ogebaway
Visited not too long ago, my ancestors live on!

I am a leech lake ojibwe tribal member
Never forget what the Anglosaxons did to the natives!
Never forget what the raiding natives did to the Anglo settlers!
@@billwilson-es5yn What did the Anglo-settlers into the land of the natives?
@@wolfganggugelweith8760 I'm pretty sure he meant the abduction of anglo children who were beaten into subjugation. Forcefully joined into the tribe or sold to another tribe or anglo white slavers.
@@billwilson-es5yn who cares.... i dont
*the government
What is the difference between Ojibwe and Chippewa?
there isnt chippewa is what americans called the ojibwe
There is no difference. Same band, just different names.
Say both words five times....they're the same. Some say it's actually a word given to them by neighboring tribes. They refer to themselves as Anishinaabe, or Anishinaabek across the border in Ontario Canada (same people though).
This is why the 2nd Amendment is so important, had the Ojibwe and Chippewa been disarmed the US government would have easily eradicated them. #FJB
Every time Native Americans have a story, the land automatically becomes “sacred.” What a crock, READ HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS about how brutal these tribes were! Good for the soldiers!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
News Paper: "100 US Soldiers killed by Ojibwe, no casualties on the side of the injuns."
Government: "Oh God! We better start taking their complaints seriously."
The Battle of Bear Valley, which took place on January 9, 1918, is considered the last official battle between the United States Army and Native Americans. The battle was a skirmish that occurred in Bear Valley, Arizona, near the Mexican border, between a group of Yaquis and 10th Cavalry soldiers. The Yaquis opened fire on the soldiers, who continued up the canyon until the Yaquis fired on them again. The battle resulted in the death of the Yaqui commander and the capture of nine others, and is considered a victory for the United States.
History will someday reflect who the real savage was.
It wss the indians, they were primitive killers
1911.. Shoshone
Your post should start out by telling the viewer what State this is in.
I wonder if this inspired the Native conflict in Red Dead Redemption, I always thought 1899 was too late for a Native Uprising.
Imagine being wronged by the government and then violently rebelling and killing military personnel, then the government handles you with kiddy gloves from thereon and formally recognizes what they did wrong, apologizes, tries to make it up to you, and doesn't just butcher you to the last for it, with the worst punishment anyone involved gets being less than a year of prison. What an insane story
I thought Ojibwe where in Michigan
Dawg not the Indian policeman get mistakenly shot 💀🤣
The last native uprising was the Yaqui Revolt of 1926.
Sad but one of thousands of sad stories done to the first peoples of that land
Not the first people natives even said so look up love lock cave
The last Native American war according to google ended in 1924 what was that
That was a good story, I am proud that they took a stand even though I am a white man. They did what they felt they had to do and blood was spilt to right the wrongs. It is small scale stories like this that are sure interesting and a nice change from all the more popular ones. Thanks for the story.
My brothers and I inherited 40 acres of hunting land on the crow wing river between motley and pillager. I used to go hunting up there all the time and always dreamt of building log cabin on it .but it was sore spot in our family because my brother wanted to sell to the pillager lumber mill they were cutting our trees anyway for years my grandpa n dad bought it after WW2 . So my grandpa told me long time ago it was near the assassination of chief hole in a day. The lawyer chief the tribe thought he was selling them out but he was wise and new he needed to negotiate in order to survive. Interesting history I am no longer bitter about my brother selling it .because it was once native land anyway .but now there is million dollar mansions on it two miles east of motley on crow wing river .had good times in old hunting shack from depression era.
My Grandfather was from Leach Lake!
According to Google 1911 in a place called Kelly Creek was the last Indian attack I don’t think I can watch the rest of your video obviously you didn’t research it.
"had the right" ; shouldn't even be used.
What about AIM in the 70s?
Thanks!
Thank YOU sir! 😀
The logic of your diagram is crazy marking the bluecoats with red and the red indians with blue
Thanks very much and for once the Indians won. My grandfather had a job as a carpenter on a reservation somewhere in Nevada and he was running cattle on reservation land in 1904. He was made to stop grazing those cattle and shortly after left the reservation going to settle on what was to be Fairview, Montana.
"...right to bear arms..."
I guess Shoshone Mike didn't count as an UPRISING, it was just the LAST Indian BATTLE!
The Ojibwe is the tribe that my great grandmother on my father’s side is from
My Elementary school was named after the tribe so I had to watch when it was suggested
Last one in the US but not the last uprising in North America.
BUGONAYGESHIGS
the last native fight was a win see we can learn from this lesson and apply it all over the place
This is basically America’s Shiroyama
About 100 years before i was born
Wow! What a amazing story thanks.
There was a battle with (I remember that it was) Paiutes in the valley between Goodsprings and Jean where that nasty smelling gold strike casino is along hwy 15 in Jean, Nevada in the early 20th century that occurred later than this particular battle, can’t remember the name, check it out sometime
Thank you for this information, I did not know that
@@nativeamericanhistory De nada, keep rockin
Im pilleger.
That's a big lake!
The Indians were usually only reacting against deliberate mistreatment by the Anglos and violations of treaties and agreements. The one with the guns win. Thanks.
Cool story!
A lot of this narrative has been copied from the Wikipedia article "Battle of Sugar Point."
Unfortunately we know how this ended 😕
Anyone interested in Native history should look up the largest mass execution in US history in Mankato

For some, this fight will never end. Give the land back!
South shore of leech lake off highway 34. They have pretty well destroyed the leech lake tribe of Ojibwe Indians with dope. Go by there weekly.

Look into how Native American Indians treated White female slaves.... You will never feel sorry for them ever again after that.
How did your white vikings heros treat their white slaves ? Oh yeah, just as brutal as some tribes in the Americas
