    Thank you for your detailed stories, I’m a Kiowa tribal member and it’s awesome to hear versions of stories I heard growing up with my grandparents. My Kiowa grandparents have passed on and it’s nice to hear these stories told from other prospectives. I have nothing to gain but knowledge from listening.

    Ernie Lapointe is a great grandson of Sitting Bull. Ernie, born in 1948, is 74 years old, as the year 2022 draws to a close. Ernie Lapointe's DNA matches a sample taken from Sitting Bull's scalp, which confirms it. He's an orator & author.

      @rustyguenard5277 Are you saying that Sitting Bull's Scalp isn't from Sitting Bull? That wouldn't surprise me too much, it's happened elsewhere: King Louis XVI Blood Soaked Handkerchief wasn't from the king, for example, and the DNA results were fake.

    An odd thing about the Lakȟóta (and their Dakȟóta cousins) and the Apsáalooke (Crow) was that they both spoke Siouan languages.
    The Crow spoke a "Missouri River Siouan" tongue, while the Lakȟóta and Dakȟóta (and Nakȟóda) peoples all spoke a "Mississippi Valley Siouan" tongue (Missouri River and Mississippi Valley tongues were not mutually intelligible). The Apsáalooke were friendly with fellow Missouri River Siouan neighbor, the Hiraacá (Hidatsa) and "Mandan Siouan" speakers, the Nų́ʔetaa ('Nueta' = Mandan); while the Lakȟóta and Dakȟóta were enemies of all three--as well as with fellow Mississippi Valley Siouan speakers, the Hohe Nakȟóda (Assiniboine).
    In the end, the Apsáalooke [Crow] opted to assist the US Army in its fight against the Lakȟóta / Dakȟóta, for all the good that did them (the benefit to the Apsáalooke for that support was marginal in the long run, though it did earn them some of the area they had wished for their reservation--which includes the Battle of the Greasy Grass [the Lakota name for the Little Big Horn] battlefield site. Apsáalooke scouts (and some Sahnish [Arikara] scouts, who were Caddoan language speakers) provided support to Custer--and advised not attacking the extremely large camp of Lakȟóta, Tsitsistas (Cheyenne), and Hinono'eino [Arapaho]. The latter two were both Algonquian subgroup "Algic" language speakers (completely unrelated to Siouan), but were allies of the Lakȟóta.
    Custer, of course, disregarded said advice. Many Apsáalooke warriors often wore the front of their hair in an upswept pompadour--a hairstyle immediately recognizable to any other people as being Crow.
    I met the great grandson of Tȟašúŋke Witkó (Crazy Horse) two years ago; Crazy Horse was in the assault against the cut -off force with Custer. He was later killed on the reservation, as was Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake (Sitting Bull), who was killed two weeks before the Čhaŋkpé Ópi Wakpála (Wounded Knee) massacre in December 1890.

      You spoke with the GRANDSON of Tȟašúŋke Witkó/Crazy Horse? NOT POSSIBLE, Tȟašúŋke Witkó had no children that lived into adulthood, he had a daughter, Kȟokípȟapiwiŋ (They Are Afraid of Her), who died at age three, with his wife Tȟašinásápawiŋ (Black Shawl).
      Tȟašúŋke Witkó was the cousin of my g+ grandfather, Iron Eyes, brother of Chief Uŋpȟáŋ Glešká/Spotted Elk aka Si Tȟáŋka/Big Foot, and Maȟpíya Ičáȟtagya/Touch The Clouds all Miniconjou or Cheyenne River Lakota, my g+ grandfather & grandmother, Iron Eyes and Plenty Horses Woman and Chief Uŋpȟáŋ Glešká were massacred at Wounded Knee, 1890. Many, many other noteworthy people in my family tree that traces back to these people at that time of western expansion/contact. I have traced my genealogy to them.

    Yours is a breath of fresh air amidst the current propensity to apply current Euro-American values to the actions of past cultures and individuals. What constitutes “good guys” and “bad guys” is embedded in the times in which they live. The qualities which we, ourselves, prize highly today may come to be despised by our own grandchildren.

I listen with my ear buds at work and enjoy getting lost in the stories while doing my thing and they make the day go by a little easier. It's easy when hearing of men long ago who'd never imagine how life is in the present, to imagine myself back in times like those and how silly and trivial our realities are compared to living everyday as if it were your last.

    There is a very good Sitting Bull Biography written by Stanley Vestal first published in 1932 and published by the University of OK Press. Stanley Vestal was among those early authors that were going around getting 1st hand oral histories at the time (another was George Bird Grinnell), interviewing living family, friends and brothers in arms of prominent native figures tht were still alive. Vestal also did a biography of then still living White Bull (nephew of Sitting Bull) that is often is cited by modern books. For the time these authors were fairly factual and sympathetic to the native cause, which is why they were long published by U of OK Press. These old books are full of 1st hand accounts of every day life and of famous battles and certainly Sitting Bull, Champion of the Sioux by Vestal deserves a read by admirers of Sitting Bull. It probably served as a source for the books you cited today.

    • @sabineschmude2292

      I have read this book, it's really very interesting! And as I have learned that Sitting Bull was killed by his own people, I was very sad, and I was thinking a lot about it, how this could happen, and I came to the conclusion, that they were influenced from the Americans during the time Sitting Bull and his family and some close members of his tribe were separated from the rest of the tribe!
      As he came back, he had already lost a lot of his influence!
      But nevertheless I will never understand how this could happen!
      If somebody would have told this to the Sioux some years before, they wouldn't had believed it!
      But as Ernie Lapointe, he is the great grandson of Sitting Bull, said in his book, not everything is true in this book, because his nephew was interviewed, and in his opinion this nephew was a traitor!
      It's too much to explain it all in a short comment!
      But what I want to say aswell is, that I have read an article about Pine Ridge Reservation in the German "Stern" Magazin, and this was so terrible, that I really tried to contact Olowan Martinez to tell her about my thoughts and ideas in concern of better life conditions in the reservation like to plant a forest for example, because the clima would change for sure, and the ground would be more fertile!
      But unfortunately I got no contact to her, and I have had only the possibility to write my ideas in the comments of "Lakota Daughters" at youtube, and I got a short contact to Zachary Mardis, whose aunt is in the council!🌄

    Sitting Bull was one of the greatest men that ever lived he was very kind which is often overlooked by historians as an example when my tribe the Nez Perce people were fleeing the US Army and several of our tribal members escaped into Canada Sitting Bull welcomed them and cried when witnessing their condition with hardly any clothes left on their backs the Nez Perce survivors had had their clothing shot to pieces by the US Army's bullets it's luckily they survived and Sitting Bull took care of my relatives for 2 years before they decided to return to to Idaho to settle on the lapway reservation years later in the years of the Buffalo Bill shows Sitting Bull had gone to New York as one of the celebrities of Buffalo Bill upon seeing the Starving Children that the white people had neglected their own people starving in the streets he sold buttons off his own clothing for money to give to these poor white children so that they could feed themselves this shows you what an exemplary human being Sitting Bull was he was known for his kindness and generosity he also to tie into your story here submitted a friendship between The Crow and the Lakota people before he was tragically murdered at the bequest of the US government assassinated by the Tribal Police on the Standing Rock reservation

The best part of these videos is the not so subtly pointing out of the fact that Native American tribes were just like the rest of us. Today we mostly destroy each other via the media, social media, and the courts. Doing it the old fashioned way, as described in this video seems far more direct and has immediate finality.

    Hi folks, I am very enjoying your new post and liked as always. You're the only one who show the right picture of a Crow, the gentleman with the Billy Idol hair. I believe many of the later view at the Crow are based on Lakota "propaganda", look at the picture the movies draw about the Crow in the last 50 years down to Jackie Chan, the Crow /Absaroka were to close to the Whites for the feeling of today! I'm sure Comanche warriors had been fighting at horseback at all costs, years ago the give the Teton hundreds of (most mexican) horses but the Lakota were always till the end mounted rifles. Not Cavalry. I appreciate the way you tell history and did you know that the Crow extended their hair with horse hair? Both Tribes speak tongues of the siouan family, it was much easier to deal with the captives /slaves /members of the People on both sides! Besides you are avoiding inbreeding... I got a idea where you're come from but anyway, this channel is what yt is made for! God's Blessings from Northern Germany!

      To begin with-- Some tribes would probably still exist if Columbus hadn't sailed over!!!! Keep in mind, Columbus never landed on or touched any soil what we know as the United States-- He "discovered" Haiti and the Dominican Republic--- The woodland Indians of the NW territories never obtained horses-- They walked, ran, or paddled for thousands of years---- The plains tribes obtained the Spanish pintos, mustangs, and stallions when the Mexican armies travelled north looking for gold and silver-- and thru their raiding of Mexican towns and villages----- Since many of the plains tribes remained hunter/gatherers, never embracing an agrarian lifestyle, so they completely relied upon and relished their horses-----

None of that would be possible had Columbus not sailed over to Haiti and the Domincan Republic. Perhaps at some future date it would have been done anyway. But Columbus was the first who everything else came after, including the spanish in mexico that brought horses. Many of the specific tribes mentioned by this channel existed as they did here before the horse. Sure there were tribes that existed, but not ones that relied upon and relished their horses.

    What do I think? I think the idea that the indigenous peoples of North America lived a peaceful, idyllic life in harmony with their neighbors and nature, is pure wishful thinking BS! Like all other humans, the indigenous peoples of North America were territorial, and didn't hesitate to go to war with their neighbors to defend, or expand their territory. They eventually were defeated by the more technologically advanced Europeans and their descendants, but that has been happening to humans for as long as there have been humans. It has nothing to do with some "cosmic" right or wrong, it's simply the way of the world. That may sound harsh, but life's a bitch, and then you die. While you're here, be honest with yourself and others. In that way, when you go, hopefully you will have few regrets.
