- Once the Cree and their allies dominated the western fur trade. Sustained by the buffalo. By 1885, their decline meant disaster and starvation. Betrayed by Ottawa, who offered peace and food for land, the Cree would make a valiant last stand to save their people’s future.

There are NOT enough documentaries about the Native Canadians. Props to you.
There really isn't. I am from Vancouver Island but my Great Grandmother was Cree from The Red River Valley. So I am Metis even though I look like I could be from Scandanavia.
My Dad was raised by her for several years after his Mom died early. I only ever heard that she was someone you don't mess with. But I know nothing of my heritage on that side as my Dad wasn't overly proud of being a % First Nations. Old school racist basically lol. RIP Dad.
Thank you for these docs. I hope to see more on each Nation in Canada.
I think we should have the indian wars 2.0
Big Bear sought diplomacy; prevented mutilation & torture of captives, negotiated when he still had some leverage. Big respect.
These documentaries makes me proud of my first nation heritage regardless of the outcome. So much had happened Just to think those who survived lived to past down stories for the future generations to learn and understand thier roots
well most of them were traumatized and assimilated out of it. i’m a result of this! and i know practically nothing about my roots.
As a New Zealander of Polynesian/Māori decent we share a similar dealing with the English . We traded with them , fought with them and intermingled with them. The one difference was we had a treaty called the Treaty of Waitangi. Still relevant in this day and age but open to interpretation. Respect to all indigenous people
Thank you for the information. I feel great regret as I continue to learn what happened to our First Nation people here in the past - and continues to happen. I would like to read this treaty. It may be well be informative to our folks here - if they don't already know.
Matter of public record, the United States Government seldom honored their treaties. It is a national embarrassment that we were so poorly governed and even more poorly informed.
Technically everyone is "indigenous" just to different land across the globe
@@sealyoness ki Ora in our native tongue and hello. I believe you may find the treaty translated on the web, but not sure. My ancestor was one of the signatories on it. Basically we agreed to British control and honour to Queen of England and in return they acknowledged our rights. The interesting fact is that it was the Anglican Church ministers that pushed for the treaty as they saw the damage being done by colonial settlement.
Respect from a Pakeha. Here's to a future hopefully full of mutual respect, understanding and appreciation
Yessss!!! This is the best series on Native American history ever! Please share all episodes on TH-cam!!
Yo, I'm a US History teacher and this has got to be one of the best channels for history. Thorough and fair in narrative.. my thanks and utmost respect for you and your work. I recommend for my students who miss our on a lesson.

@@jordanbaker719 skin walkers my friend. 😂
I went to the end of the trail museum in Oklahoma and there were native scalps there. I was shocked. I wondered if they were related to me? If it was one of my ancestors? It made me sick to my stomach. I wanted it removed from the display. Now I’m glad that it’s there. To show people what we did to each other. It’s to make us sick to our stomachs. It’s to keep us from doing it again.
It hasn’t worked very well
The practice of taking trophy’s has and always will happen in war. The earliest evidence we have from Europe is from the Stone Age, 5k BC I think. The earliest evidence we have from the Americas is 600 AD. We won’t stop barbaric practices, we are animals after all.
You can probably thank the Commanche for those scalps. Such savage humans.
@@katedaphne4495 I know that many were doing things that seem very wrong now.
@@mitten97 This practice of taking scalps was a way to terrorize Natives. When a reward is offered for a human body part it ceases being a 'war tophy'.
Great video,growing up half my friends were Cree here in mid central Saskatchewan and it seems a shame that i know more about their culture than them with all these great documentaries 👍 my Cree wife passed away 5 years ago and it's a honor to still be allowed to live on the reserve,when all my late wifes nephew's still call me uncle-a wonderful and proud people ✌👌
Just going through my family's history and see all 3 of my GGGrandfather's were Master Mariner's. First two were from PEI & my middle one was Captain James Douglas Warren. He made trios in the SSBeaver & Otter with Sir James Douglas to open up Fort Langley. Then he opened up the Trade Routes for the HBC, around Vancouver Island to the Haida Gwaii. He married my Grandmother Tossamitsa Edenshaw a Chief's daughter from there. She was interned to Kuper Island during Small Pox, while he was picking up body's around Vancouver Island in his Steamships. She survived to be the oldest Native to die on Vancouver Island in 1931 at 104. My Aunt Sarah Warren was a Matriarch of the Songhees & King Freezies Great Grandaughter. She was interned to Sardis, B.C. & the First Person to Win Back the Right's for the Traditional Mask Dance in 1950 & one of the First in 🇨🇦 Canada to have open ❤ Heart Surgery. Lucky my Father left this to me 20 yrs ago or I would still be in La La Land. We are the GGGrandchildren who deserve Truth & Reconciliation for all family's to carry on.
It is true that far too little is known worldwide about the plight of native-canadians in Canada.
no such thing as a native canadian. being canadian is a false identity. we're talking about CREE.. not natives.
@@keetahbrough as a sturgeon lake cree myself, you're making a big show that isn't doing anyone any favours.
@@keetahbrough tuguy 🤭🤣
Yes, i remember history books in school taugh you little to nothing. We lived in teepees and hunted buffalo. Thats the extent they taught
Canada and the Natives got along great compared to other countries such as America. Canada kept its promises to the Natives but once the Cree got greedy that's when war began.
I am Cree from Saskatchewan and to this day the cree kids are the best athletes and most feared fighters in School. We are mistreated by teachers in school then by RCMP into adult hood because they have always, and always will fear us. We lived in this harsh habitat for over millenia like cave men what did you expect? To push us around? LOL

LOVING the native focus on video lately👏👏👏👏
I've been bingeing these all day. With the exception of the over the top narration, I've found them both informative and entertaining. I wasn't overly surprised that Canadians were just as efficient as Americans in wiping out indigenous peoples. I just didn't know the particulars.
Thank you for the upload. Didn't know as much of the tribes in Canada

I’ve been looking for more information about the invasion of America/Canada this is perfect. It’s mind blowing to think what went on back then
yes the 500 year invasion
@@clarvebiker3175 boohoo
@@clarvebiker3175 Yep. Still going on pretty damn actively. Different methodologies is all. Best advised to take the colonial viewpoints in this with a big grain of salt. Being Abenaki, my mom was from Odanak ( also called the St. Francis Indians, because Odanak is on the Sainte Francis River ) and our version of the 1759 raid differs quite a bit from the modern mythology.
The invasion of America has been going on for the last 16,000 to 20,000 years without end. The invasion of America now is stronger than it ever was in the past.
Thanks for adding some history of the Natives. 👍
Been there all along dummy.
@@tonyromano6220 well forgive us for not being as enlightened as you. 🙄
Excellent Keep the History Going! Thxs Biggley!
This needs to be compulsory in all Canadian history classes. 35 years ago, all we learned was how great colonization was. Thankfully, times have changed.
Colonialism was great
Colonization was great...for those Europeans that were dirt poor & illiterate, trying to escape a life of being a subject (property) to a King or Ruler... Escaping constant wars, plagues, famine, persecution, etc.
Just like the Chinese people landing on the Western coast, at the same time, for the same reasons !
Coming to North America and settling in lands that appeared completely unoccupied brought them hope & possibility for a better life...
But - Suddenly Colliding with different Native peoples with totally different culture and languages ? Is Obviously a recipe for disaster for all people involved.... leading them all to resort on basic human instinct & emotions.
Ignorant of each other, unable to really communicate... quickly turns to fear, then it's Fight or Flight.
The immigrants that just arrived had already spent all of their ability and possessions on "FLight", in leaving their homeland.
At that point, there was really Nowhere else for them to go, without stepping onto someone else's "Lands or property".
we do have that!! at my school anyway
@@Viewher3only white men would say such things
@@Alan-in-Bamathey weren’t immigrants. they were COLONIZERS that were savages that killed anyone they could.

I love lesser known history.
Awesome documentary
As a native American Cree person I actually don't like these videos about native history. The comment section is a cesspool of racial hate and grievous misinformation, it's all the same in every video and it is a good example of how we are treated in real life.
My wife and her sister can't even shop because they get called stupid just because of their skin. And this is 2021 Canada?
I have little to no faith in canada and it's people, if you're native you're nothing.
ya this is the old story.The way they are describing how what went down in Battleford is the old imbellished story,im from Sask and was alot different from the actual story,The real story.
@NordKing Arc this wasn’t an open invitation for racism but here you are anyway. Empathy can be difficult to cultivate in our society because all too often it is viewed as weakness. The truth is empathy shows great strength.
@NordKing Arc You are a poor example of a human.
@@jaketm4500 I am from this area as well and i was taught the govertment official BS. This is porbably a lot closer to the truth
@@chucknelson1079 that first part made it sound like they came ripping and roaring into town burning the Fort???? They came to Battleford because they were being starved out by being forced onto a barren reserve that wasn't able to provide for their needs.when the band got to Battleford they found it abandoned because word came ahead that they were hostile and the people fled fearing the worst. They were hungry and sick and it was the only way they could try to seek help.cant blame Poundmaker for trying to look after his people.He was and still is highly revered and Respected by many .I'm one of them.truley a man to admire!

What Rez you from?
@@uhhgreetings1954 MCCN
Very interesting. My best friend is Cree. My wife is Metis. I'm a seventh generation Canadian Scot. Extra knowledge: Canada claimed what they called Rupert's Land to Canada to prevent the Americans claiming it due to their declaration of Manifest Destiny to own all North America. The pile of buffalo bones did not occur in Canada. America decided to destroy the buffalo to starve the natives. It was the same buffalo that roamed Canada. They didn't know there was a border. British Columbia didn't want to join the USA, but without a railroad they and the rest of western Canada would have no choice. Northern Ontario and the Canadian Rockies were considered impossible to cross with a railroad. John A. insisted and the country went bankrupt building it as close to the American territories as possible. The RCMP, or rather the NWMP were created to protect the west from American influence ten years before the railroad in 1873. There were no "white" people in the west, only Metis, french and native decendents of fur trading voyageurs. The Province of Manitoba was created in 1870 as a home for them. Their flag has a buffalo on it. When the NWMP arrived in Alberta, their first act was to arrest and deport American whiskey traders. The treaties were offered and signed (and mostly upheld) after the buffalo disappeared. The first time a native was involved in a murder investigation, the Mounties investigated, hunted down , arrested and imprisoned the WHITE man that caused the incident. The native was not charged. The NWMP and the Canadian government gave asylum to Sitting Bull after the battle of Little Big Horn. The Americans threatened to cross the border. Famine , economic depression (from railroad construction) and American pressure forced the Sioux back across the border. Everything didn't work out like it was planned, but Canadian intentions were much different than American policies.
Rupert's Land was granted to The Hudson's Bay Company by Royal decree in 1670. More as a hedge against the French fur interests since the US didn't exist and was still controlled by Britain. Also, Hudson's Bay provided a route to ship furs from the west rather than the longer and less friendly and arduous routes via the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River.. You are correct that later there was a race to finalize the south western border with the US and that Canada building a transcontinental railroad was thought to keep the western part of Canada in the fold.
But of course Justin.
and it's all just been sophisticated thievery. making treaties only to subdue people; those honourable folk who lived out their words.nothing has changed; but, some of us know and can identify who you really are and why you came and do the things ya do.
@@iainstewart371 True. I stand corrected. Although, the people that lived in the Canadas were always aware of what the Americans were doing. We sought a different way. That's why we put up with the cold.
@@disgustedvet9528 Who? That kid? That uneducated momma's boy? I knew his father. Almost met him. He's nothing like his father. Did you know PET wanted to check out the Middle East in the 50's, so he disguised himself as an Arab and went alone, hitching rides? Dangerous idea. Maybe that's where Justin got his idea for that party.

Thank you got more from this then school.

THANKS
I’m from treaty 6, my father would always teach me about this growing up, it’s interesting learning more
Same
Yeah The Crees, Denes, Mohawks, Iroquois, And Lokotas are the main First Nation tribes that are talked about on documentaries, narrations, commentaries, and dialogs
You have conquered many nations, divided many lands, you have terrorised their peoples, you with whip and iron-hand, and you brought your reign of terror to my clan.... You have made many blood-enemies 'Mother' England. Remember that well, as your mighty oak now rots from the inside-out....So many trails of tears has the 'butchers apron' fluttered gaily upon. So sad.
OHMYGOD IM CREE. AND I NEVER HEAR ABOUT MY PEOPLE. i hope it’s not tragic but it probably is. the last 400 years have been ROUGH. my grandmother was sent to residential school forced by the gov. where she was tortured. simply for being cree !!! i’m trying to heal from that still. intergenerational trauma from our history is so real
Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Excellent introducing of this Historical Video ...Excellent History Documentaries channel (timeline) thanks ....These Naivety First Nation tribes were More desired to Peaceful Negotiations &ordinary Trade deals ...But Local Canadian authority which created inside British Colonialism embryo was only used Peaceful Negotiations & Violence currents as Tactical Processes No More !!! Its strategical Aims was annihilation of these First Nation tribes ( Excellent Historical Project-Nations at war )
Intro hyperbole: Rivers drain into seas and oceans, not the other way round.
As a british person - you have to put yourselves in the shoes of the natives. Imagine having your whole culture erased . I guess this is how history was and that the winners of wars take the land etc. But its still easy to sympathise with the natives
The Cree are still alive. Where there is life, there is hope. I'm of UK decent and live in a traditional Cree Territory. I have a lot of hope. I was glad to see you comment as I also empathize and relate to Indigenous Peoples and I believe it's largely due to my ancestry.
Same can be said for EVERY nation on this planet when it comes down to the indigenous population being changed forever. Nothing stands in the way of progress and once you have stopped your bleeding heart you might want to read about how your country gave the native tribes their only chance to form their own country ( scuppered by the USA ) and like it or not the tribes that retreated into Canada have done a damn site better than those who stayed under American rule.
Its also silly not to consider the fact that the same native societies wiped out other similar groups in the area as well.
@@jboss119 i agree - but it is true that the Ethnic groups that once existed are non existent now. Its rare to see a pure blooded native who isnt of mixed race
It will happen to us eventually
We need to learn more Native American history here in the United States
We do Canada needs to learn more
I love history and believe in progress some people were just there eat of the land and some decided to explore to see what's happening on the other end of the world and that was good too. Look at where we are now

Canadian gov't still at it. Ever so nice...until you say "No thank you." Then force.
PS - If you're going to make historical documentaries with modern background actors, take a minute to get the weapons correct. Sloppy production work in that regard.
“Canadian govt still at it…ever so nice until say “no,” then force.” Not taking about the indigenous Canadians which was just wrong, but otherwise, what would you expect or do you have a better option? A government that can only nicely ask people to pay taxes, get a license and a safe car before driving, have building inspected before letting people move in, etc. would be nonfunctional, lawless mess, not a utopia of freedom. If you want no government, there are plenty of places you can find that (but it also means no sewer system, no food safety, no police, no steady electricity, etc).
Also, these shows don’t have limitless budgets or time, they do the best they can within their budget and whatever the prop department has. They aren’t made to educate or replicate, they are made by a business -to earn money. Most people know this.
@@Itried20takennames 20+ years of foreign service. I've lived what you speak of. No excuse in western, developed nations for the kind of imperial overreach on display.
They act like the Europeans didn't have edged weapons too. Just because they came up with firearms technology didn't mean that they stopped using swords, axes, tomahawks and knives. Also, the Native Americans never had iron/steel headed tomahawks until the Europeans introduced them. And the whites used them as weapons almost as much as the Indians did, especially on the frontier.
are crees considered a warrior tribe?
The world would be so different if the first nations had keep the control of their country.
Probably not that much honestly, we still would’ve intermingled with the Europeans regardless and ended up taking in a lot of their societal values and structures it was bound to happen, just unfortunate it happened the way it did.
Metis could only raise a small resistance because they had very little support . The whole episode was a disaster for Metis and First Nations.

Hudson’s Bay does not drain into Canada and is a bay, not an inland sea. Lol.
Easy to quibble about terms like these, depending on your background, and your points of reference. [1] E.g., To most people, it is the size of a sea, and just like the ocean: you stand on one shore and cannot see the other side. Ditto for the Sea of Mexico and the Black Sea. How big are they compared with so-called Hudson Bay [Sea]? That is the practical perspective; the rest is purely theoretical . . . .
[2] Is it fresh water entirely? . . .Or is there any part that is saline water? . . . [3] What about the Great Lakes of Ontario and Quebec? . . . How do they compare in size with the reported inland sea of so-called Hudson's Bay? . . . From a practical perspective, they are likewise so huge as to be deemed as inland seas? . . . E.g., How big are they versus the Dead Sea?
@@brentshuffler1234 Quibble ?? Its called Hudson BAY because its not inland , Also all the rivers flow INTO Hudson bay that is not therotecal its factual which is something most people expect in a doc

@@chrisdeal9945 Thanks for the geographical explanations. I lived in Montreal for several years and revisited the homeland every couple years after I relocated to the Caribbean. Over the years, I often reflected how far flung my own relatives and friends were across the world and even within Canada. This documentary taught me some details that I suspect most of us did not learn at school, and it also reminded me of how fantastically huge Canada is . . . and how little of it most of us ever see. For me, as a little boy, the St. Lawrence River in Lasalle was awesome. Later, visiting Toronto and seeing the world-famous Niagara Falls spanning the border between the U.S.A. and Canada was inspiring. I know that the Great Lakes, the Rockies, and the vast northern territories are even more magnificent and beyond our comprehension . . . I daresay that the remote terrains are challenging, the climates there are unforgiving, and the access is limited and very expensive. All reasons that so few of us ever venture so far, I imagine. Living in Caribbean islands where even 30 minutes of driving feels very long, I never got used to the idea of driving/flying for hours and it is still considered to be one country! [smile]
Excellent video from a native perspective. Would have been better if the second documentary preceded the first. In between the American Loyalists and many natives loyal (to the British Crown) moved to settle Canada hence the "Colonisation" and conflict between them/other natives and some native peoples in Canada itself.
i've heard that the first American slave owner was black,and even went to court and won the case that allowed him to own slaves legally
Anthony Johnson was African, not American on British Colony.
@@hildaswafford8226 which means absolutely nothing, still a slave owner
He wasn't the first, but he was an early slave owner. Yes he won that court case, but when he died the court ruled he couldn't will his possessions to his children - because he was black.
One of the first slaves to revolt was Spartacus, he was white.

12 days ago our Treaty Of Waitangi 1840 was followed by a founding document known commonly as the Declaration of Independence 1835 He Whakaputanga. This declared all chiefs as a collective sovereign over the lands internationally recognized. 1840 allowed the settlers we selected of the many nations here vying for supremacy to be the managers of the resources and their people on behalf of the native population. Rights, culture, language all preserved minus internationally defined barbaric practices (cannibalism, infanticide). Through these documents our ancestors managed to preserve most of our culture.. Modern leaders fought for language schools and universities, media and business. Our people have helped many 1st nations people develop their own "kohanga reo" gift of language preschools. We hope that this helps many now fighting for recognition of ones sovereignty, culture and language which we believe is the heart of the people... Kia Kaha mo ake tonu atu!! Remain forever strong!!..
In general a very good series, but with some issues. Writing could be tighter. For instance, in this episode, the host refers to Hudson Bay as "Hudson's Bay". He also mentions that "this inland sea drains into a system of rivers and lakes which reach three million square kilometers". Someone needs a geography lesson. Of course Hudson Bay does not drain into rivers and lakes; rivers and lakes drain into the bay.

Merci.d'avoir.valorise.cette.culture
Amazing to think that after all the bad blood between the British & natives that Canada would prove to be a holiday camp compared to how the USA treated them. The very fact native Kings lived at the royal court in London & Mohawk chiefs became Freemason's shows the difference in the levels of respect.
Not really true. The forced assimilation was slower, treaty obligations were not lived up to, forced Christian schooling where students were taken away from their families, punished when speaking their language and abused in other awful ways. The only major reason there weren't more massacres comes down to the inability to exploit the land by Europeans because of climate and accessibility. We weren't any better in our treatment of First Nations than the US and proved that point historically whenever there was an opportunity.
No matter what the comparison, to refer to any of this as a “holiday camp” is pretty messed up.
@Bob Davidson What does that have to with the disussion?

Maate, Is that a pink eye!? 😂
Ain't no 5000s drone!
Whitefish Lake Settlement of Cree already had built a log school, church and dwellings by 1860 in Rupert’s Land in full realization of the future. Previous, workforce of the fur trade was transitioning to the new age of farming. They wanted a large Territory prior to the sale of Rupert’s Land and my have permission under HBC. Hidden History that needs to be told.

Reil was French Metis not Cree.
@@Crashed131963 Riel was hung by the Canadian Gov't for Leading the North-West Rebellion, whether he was the actual leader. Dumont was the real leader and would also have been hung, but he escaped to the USA. I'm sorry history isn't what you WISH it to be.

We need a native flag 🟧 AND
One thing the government is scared of is the ONE DAY we STAND TOGETHER. Native from Canada Alberta and we have oil/fuel
Animals/food/furs
Trees/wood/resources to build

Why were Buffalo so big in America, like bison could never
The American Buffalo are a different creature from the European Bison.
They are a close relative of each other just like lions and tigers and every other animal on earth that come from different areas around the world. They change to their surroundings so they may get bigger or smaller depends on the type of area they are in. Also you have to remember that the English already had killed off most of the wild food source in England so they had to look to new areas and homesteads for food.
What is first nation? Second, and third?
very Interesting but wen yr going to talk about the fist nations of South America and Mexico, about the help the Spanish crown gave to the American for there independents, and about the Navajo and Apache Wars, the Texas and Mexicans had for control of there territory; Ive seen some in Spanish but i don't understand Spanish, sow we ignore that because we don't spike Spanish
Interesting documentary. But to say that Canada was a independent country is far from reality. It was 100% under British rule and laws
and to say that Sir John A MacDonald was not still a Scot bowing to the throne would be pretty hilarious. Statute of Westminster was pretty well the first step to being independent country. It was the he Constitution Act, 1982 that was when Canada was independent.
And yes the constitutional monarchy
that is the Queen still costs Canadians over 68 000 000$ a year.
Less that than 10% is private land here in Canada the rest is still crown land technically.
I love crown land free camping and ATVs are allowed.
Is there any part of this planet that the British did not reduce to waste??
Ummm... Easter Islands?
The parts reduced to waste by the Spanish and Portuguese.
The Hudson Bay is salt water.
Does those rivers run into the Bay or out of the Bay?
All those Canadian rivers up north can't be salt water can they?
They run into Hudson Bay. The drainage basin of the Bay is huge.
Yeah whoever wrote the script for this was smoking something. All rivers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and some in Alberta, Québec and Ontario drain into Hudson's Bay. The drainage basin is the former territory of Rupert's Land, once ruled by the HBC (Hudson's Bay Company).

What sad history 😢
The strong defeat the weak. So goes the world
So when somebody else get stronger they should do the same to you right ?
@@paulgabbidon8350 Not saying they 'should', but they might. Like he said, so goes the world.
@@genxer1 shouldn't be that way , the strong should protect the weak like an adult and a child!

If the Japanese landed here first our people would have no voice at all, look at what they did to the Chinese.
Also, look at what the Chinese are doing now. There is a belief that if Europeans had never come to the Americas it would still to this day be some pristine, idyllic utopia where the inhabitants all live in peace and harmony. This ignores the fact that even native peoples regularly warred among themselves and some of them, like the Aztecs and Mayans, were very warlike and expansionist and brutal to conquered peoples. Native tribes routinely conquered and assimilated other tribes. You're right, if it had not been Europeans but Mongols, Arabs, Chinese, Zulus, Japanese, etc. that arrived first it may have been even worse.
