💯
Yeah, about as much as we need them in the white house and congress.
I second that!

Great seeing Joe host an amazing historian. He needs to host more. Professor West's books were integral to my coursework during my first and second year of graduate school.
What are you studying? I am also in grad school but my books are all modern. Obviously a different/newer field but I love learning history
Joe throughout most of the podcast, in a low whisper, “wowww” and “mmmm”
I’m almost certain that just like with the news going on in the present they change the truth to fit the narrative. How much of what you read from the past is the truth? I’m probably wrong or at least I hope I am but something tells me you can’t trust anything you read from the present or the past and it’s a damn shame
Seriously, enough with the graham hancock types
I'm Navajo from the Southwest. I appreciate these conversations about the history and recognition of indigenous people.
That's actually awesome that you're legit Navajo. No need to diminish yourself with the woke "indigenous peoples" rhetoric
Shido’o. Diné nishłi. I liked this video too. We all need each other/need to stick together now more than ever. All we as Native people want is acknowledgment and some respect 🇺🇸

My great grandmother was 106 and full blooded Choctaw. She only spoke Choctaw and was born in 1889 and moved into Oklahoma around 1903 from Mississippi. I was 21 when she passed but I learned so much from her. I have a document that shows in 1903, the US Gov't entered their homes in Oklahoma and questioned them all about their travels to ensure they had no plans to ever go back to Mississippi. The way the US treated them was horrible. They had 1,000 acres in Mississippi and were given scraps in Oklahoma.
Something tells her bloodline died out with her , full bloods really should stop mixing
Would have loved to meet her
What great people to take the so called US.
Can you speak choctaw?
I can tell you're not a either a white passing native or black passing native with the way you talk about us smh
Thank you for allowing someone "older" to drop knowledge. They are often the most unbiased and well informed group of people with genuine wisdom
Except in the white house and congress. So informed and wise.
Got me with the straw man.....of course their are exceptions @@whysix3417

Good for him for keeping history alive ❤ so many people would prefer we forget native stories
Who wants to forget native stories? Surely most people find them interesting
As a former student of Professor West I had the privilege in sitting in on his lectures at U of A. What a joy to hear his voice again and recant many of his theories that added greatly to my own education.
Arkansas?
As an Idahoan, I know very well this story. We learn all about the Nez Perce, Shoshone, Kutnai etc. in elementary. Fascinating stuff for sure.
Idahoan potato 🎉 👍
Yup, growing up in the puget sound all the native American tribes were fascinating.
But what do you learn?
@@MrLoobu potatoes good 😊
I love these historical podcasts on the JRE. I look forward to looking into Elliot Wests book, and Joe show just how much knowledge he also has on the subject. Good on ya Joe! Love your work. From the beautiful High Country Victoria Australia.

My family still talk about this😢 im thankful for my Sioux & Cree ancestors for keeping strong. ✊🏼
Too bad they lost.
Damn, racist

I absolutely love Native American history, I'm lucky to live in an area with the most incredible hilltop Native American architecture. The massive sites I'm coming across are mind blowing. Hardly anyone has studied this group of Native Americans known as the Prescott Culture. I've never seen ruins like what they built.
Is this in AZ?
I'm just happy whenever they are treated as human beings and not just some hippy minded monolith species of wood nymph that has all the spiritual secrets and can do no wrong because somebody has daddy issues and hates their own cultural roots so they fan-fic reality and history.
The pyramids of Egypt? Never heard of them?
@@emmyrose333 Yes, I live in the immediate area of the sites I referenced above. I actually found a "new to me" site yesterday...that's a total of 42 I've found so far. Love this stuff!
@@whysix3417 What have the pyramids of Egypt got to do with the native Americans? Please elaborate
man.. best episode in a while. joe hadnt been this quiet since kaku was on
I’m listening to the entire long form on Spotify. Wanted to relate about meeting a Navajo Man,my brother Dellwood. He related how his Grandfather was a Medicine Man which allowed him to learn the more closely held tribal wisdom. His parents wanted him to have a college education as well so he is a man of knowledge and wisdom. He was in Nashville as a BOIA representative discussing the building of a new hospital out west. I was so impressed with this man who has managed to be articulate within two cultural traditions. I told him about my love of trail running and being in the woods. He said that there are lots of things to see in the woods if you keep your eyes open. My interpretation was that he was speaking not only of plants and animals but also of things not often spoken of. There is a magic and power on this Earth that often goes unnoticed
Great takeaway
You can find the art of indigenous people and learn how to become more aware. It was a culture celebrating awareness. I learned how to see the art after they were destroying a huge pyramid mound for housing development near my house in Graham North Carolina. Dedicated my life for the past year, taking these huge face statues to conferences and sharing them on KZhead.
@@FacesintheStonethanks for your work. Love discovering stuff like that. Subbed 👍
History repeats itself and we’re seeing this all over the world through different perspectives
The Israelis put the Palestinians on two piece's of land equal to reservations. Now they fight.
It certainly rhymes.
@@hartsy50- And, similarly, when the Native Americans did raids on white settlements to attempt to push back they were considered bloodthirsty savages, human animals only fit for extermination. Same thing with slave uprisings.
@@hartsy50they’re lucky they even got that 😂
Its in your nature.
My great grandfather, U.S. Army Lieutenant Edward Dillon a 24 year old Indian agent of the U.S. government in 1859, testified in California against the white settlers for horrendous treatment in the Round Valley. He is mentioned in the book, Regulars in the Redwoods.
Right on. I'm not doubting the horrible actions of some of the white settlers and/or military but it's also true that many native tribes were violently hostile from first contact onwards. Can't blame for that at all because that's how all humans (at least those who aren't weak cowards) would react when faced with a perceived outside threat. So when the Indians started attacking the settlers - the white men returned the favor and so and so forth (or in many but not nearly all cases - vise versa). Humanity has a messy history filled with death and destruction. We're about to experience that again now the woke, mind fuc*Ed crowd is calling the shots.
Best JRE in yeeeears. Not enough true historians on the pod. Have been listening over and over.
As a Native American, thank you for this episode of your podcast. It's a beautiful feeling being seen. We are all "Indians" now in modern life ❤
Citizens, all over the country are sharing the art of the indigenous people. It goes unnoticed and unrecognized, they made a whole lot more than arrowheads… our archaeologists deny it. It is a renaissance of sorts. I hope you get time to check it out.
@@FacesintheStonelet’s hope they don’t share their real culture, pillaging and scalping.

Carlisle Barracks is a United States Army facility located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The site of the U.S. Army War College, it is the nation's second-oldest active military base. The first structures were built in 1757, during the French and Indian War between Great Britain and France in the colonies. From 1879 to 1918, the property was transferred to the Department of Interior to operate the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. This was the first off-reservation boarding school established to educate and assimilate Native American children into European-American culture. In 1891 Congress passed legislation to expand this program. After the United States entered World War I, the school was closed and the property was transferred back to the War Department.

Both of my grandpa's parent went there. His father later took his life... think there was a correlation? The stories and untold stories of what happened there are horrific.
@@DAWAXFAXBetter go and steal it from them.
I grew up down the street from what we called "the barracks" or "the war College". My schoolbus went "on base" to drop off kids there. I had no idea the significance of that place then...

No
Lewis and Clarke might be the best historical event imo, read their biography
Torille! Pekka Hämäläinen The writer or Comanche Empire was mentioned in the pod. Also What a treasure of a man Elliott West is! Such a fascinating podcast thank you
These are the sort of episodes I used to live for.

Indians aren’t Native Americans. America has only been a country since 1776.
his dallas daddy haha
They're not native.
@@Flat_Earth_Addyno shit
@@misner1989 Then why say they are?
The speech in the movie Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee is interesting to me, mostly because history of native american culture is always told one way and the reality of the world is left out.
ayeee I work for the UArk History Department - we love Elliott around here!
Amazing Brilliant guest !!!! Amazing communication and this subject
Can always tell what topic or events Joe is currently obsessing over by who he has on the show and what they talk about
Reservations are a huge government failure.
The U.S. gov't have a huge list of failures, it keeps adding to them without any concern.
Seemed to work out pretty well for them. More like a major success.
They were supposed to be a method of killing us off by being sent to garbage lands and compacted with other nations (no food and angry neighbors)
Off topic but since Veterans Day is coming. our last PERAL HARBOR VETERAN just passed on he was residing in my town. Services are today 11-9-23
Christ, I wish JRE full episodes were still on KZhead.
sounds an awful lot like another conflict happening right now...
"Never Again" they said, yet here's America supporting the same thing half way around the world.
And also dont forget about the wounded knee massacre
I love the louis and clarke story, they saved those folks, like in the cold and in that environment, they helped us out
My great grandfather was the first person in his tribe to live in a house , they decided to pretend he wasnt native, my Grandmother and mom continued it only talking about it after 18th birthday...
Now this is a great episode. This is a real man...unlike that cry baby jordan peterson. More guests like this and less cry babies. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I know this is gonna be a banger episode before I even watch it
This is awesome, thank you for sharing this, Indigenous people need help showing people what they have and still go through and this helps, especially from a platform like this.
That was one of my favorite podcasts and I learned a lot from that, even as an Alaska Native.
No one is truly native

Elliott West (born April 19, 1945) is an American historian and author. He studies the history of the American West. West grew up in a family of journalists. His father was an editor for the Dallas Morning News, and his brother was a travel writer. West received an undergraduate degree in journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. West completed master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Colorado. He said that he applied to Colorado because he liked the state, and although he applied to the school's history program, he was still planning to become a journalist. Early in his career, West taught at the University of Colorado Denver, the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of New Mexico. He became a faculty member at the University of Arkansas in 1979 where he is an Alumni Distinguished Professor of History. Historian Richard White has referred to West as "the best historian of the American West writing today." West's 1998 book, The Contested Plains: Indians, Goldseekers, and the Rush to Colorado, was reviewed in the Journal of Interdisciplinary History and the Pacific Historical Review. The work won the 1999 Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians and shared the Ray Allen Billington Prize from the Organization of American Historians that year. A 2009 book, The Last Indian War: The Nez Perce Story, was reviewed in The Journal of American History. In 2009, he was a finalist for the Cherry Award for Great Teaching given by Baylor University. He has received two Western Heritage Awards. He is a past president of the Western History Association. West appeared in the 2023 Ken Burns documentary The American Buffalo. Source Wikipedia

The United States Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, generally known as Carlisle Indian Industrial School, was the flagship Indian boarding school in the United States from its founding in 1879 through 1918. It took over the historic Carlisle Barracks, which was transferred to the Department of Interior from the War Department. After the United States entry into World War I, the school was closed and this property was transferred back for use by the Department of Defense. All the property is now part of the U.S. Army War College. Source Wikipedia

@@black_hand78i was going to say the same thing.😂
The Bannocks was the last Ndn war. The government enlisted the bannocks as army scouts to fight their natural enemies, the Nez Perce. When the Sioux killed custer, the Mormons near Utah/Idaho enlisted California volunteers to control the tribal members creating the Bear River Massacre. This pushed the Shoshone onto the fort hall Indian reservation the Bannocks was given. 10 years of being cattle men and farmers frustrated the Bannocks because promised rations from the government wasn’t coming through or was rotten. The warden of fort hall felt sorry for the tribal members being starved and becoming sick so he let them go off the reservation to feed themselves. Many tribal members went to their natural hunting grounds. The Bannocks went to the camas prairie and found settlers livestock grazing where the camas bulb plant grew. The Bannocks found this disrespectful so they killed the settlers. This started the Bannock war.

He should bring back Abby Martin to continue exposing the truth of what's happening.
This story from Washington was really tragic, the worst part of it was when they tried to make peace before things got too ugly, but unfortunately the Natives had a cultural tradition where war could be negated by killing the representatives of the opposing party at negotiations. The Governor who was murdered (Or whatever the term is for the representative that mediated conflicts in the region) was a good man who loved the Natives and tried his hardest to make the two cultures coexist in the decades leading up to this. Just goes to show just how different our cultures were
they were just savages, no culture at all
@@charlymrivera7236and unfortunately still are. The white man will never learn from their mistakes 😞
That's why that "culture"had to go. Thanks god it did.
All cultures have strengths and weaknesses, with different values and customs, including US culture. Both your statements show a lack of ability to recognize your own biases and think in an objective way.
yup the whites were definitely savages@@charlymrivera7236
I could listen to history all day. Don’t care who, what, where, or why. How did folks live before I came around?
It was a long series of wars. The Native Americans fought bravely and lost. Conquest is the typical method of land acquisition between people-groups.
A favorite quote from a movie called the last of the dog men…”what happened to natives was inevitable, how it happened was unconscionable”
Can someone please get this man a glass of water, he's smacking his lips more than 'Pizza Rogan'
The Canadian residential school system is scarier than a horror movie
Yeah I wouldn't be to sure of that. There's a lot of hoaxes and mistruths being pushed as fact and if anyone questions it they are attacked and the liberals are trying to make it illegal to question it
Definitely, my Gma was in one.
I had the privilege of reading two of West's books: Contested Plains, and the Last Indian War. Amazing stories of humanity in the forging of the American West, and what was lost in the destruction of Indigenous Peoples across the continent. Absolute masterpieces of historiography, history, and literature.
I think he was becoming Yoda at the end. 😂 @14:48
I am grateful to have 2 family members of native tribes. One married and one adopted. Interesting insights as to what their stories are.
Weird to be grateful to be on the side who lost a country because they couldn't unite. Too busy fighting each other over women and grass.

Conquered ppl always suffer. Usually to a much far worse degree than the Indians were treated. The natives didn’t survive by going around hugging trees. They were war waging people that enslaved and killed eachother long before we showed up. We were just better at it.
We’re you around back then? How do you know? They were the cleanest, most respectful people. Europeans brought all the disease.

I always wondered why native americans were called 'indians' i googled it and its because Christopher Columbus thought he arrived in the indies (asia)
Craig didn’t listen during history class 🤣
@@jebacina23Craig really needed google to tell him that. O boy…..
Thanks Einstein
Im english so i guess we dont get taught as much about that as you americans calm down
Columbus should have realized that upon landing in the Caribbean in 1492 that this land was NOT India/South Asia and the native tribes were unrelated to the people of India. Unfortunately (and I mean this a frustrating mixup, not insulting the Native tribes), but everyone went along with this geographical error and it persists into modern times. It's really annoying for those of us actually FROM India to have to explain what "kind of Indian" we are and to share a term with a group of unrelated people from the opposite end of the world.
