life under a pan indian confederation and to keep the security of indian land as well. what were their twin roles? how did that separate their roles and use them profitbly for each other? and did tecumseh internalize the prophet's teachingss well? >> i think that tecumseh did believe that his brother was a divinely ordained prophe i have no idea to doubt that. they were raised in the same spiritual traditions and it would be usual for him to have rejected that. again, as the teat from american ld grew, tenskwatawa was more flexiblement h did not oppose all whites. americans were particular were to be oided. the british and french were all right because they supplied the british in particular, at this stage, supplied ammunition and other provisions to the indian. so association with the british was all right. they were accepted. but as we grow closer to the war of 1812 and the encroachment on indian lands contins and necessity for the alliance with the british grows. cumseh supplantsenskwatawa in importance as the military and political aspts of the alliance grow and to

many of the performers were sioux indians from pine ridge reservation. i had the opportunity with another smithsonian colleague to visit pine ridge just two years ago, and to learn more about those who chose to leave the reservation and a lot of different reasons why an individual would choose to contract with the wild west show, and i wanted to be able to show one of these images that highlighted that there was a relationship between cody and the indians, that he was hoping that this opportunity was not just a stereo typical look at indian life and it was an education for the public and some chose to join him and y sometimes they were reenacting scenes that they had lived and they were also being paid and they were seeing the country and seeing the world, at least europe at times when the show would go there and there were many personal reasons for the american indian manner or woman to join the show and the families could also travel with the show so women would be behind the scenes and taking care in the camp, teepees and were able to travel and live

agents, indian traders, british military, british indian agents.e formed a real high regard, he was a very charismatic man. >> the story i was thinking about was when he came across this poor white civilian who had been captured and is going to be tortured and killed turkey tried to stop them. his fellow chinese, didn't work so he just took, i don't know if it was a gun or a hatchet and just kill them outright so we didn't have to go through all that pain. >> that was as a young man. that was before he was even established. his early 20s and very, very minor -- that was something, a prisoner was considered to be like almost like a slave was to his own in the south. the captor and absolute right to decide the fate of a prisoner but tecumseh overstepped that very dramatically. >> what were his oratorical skills? how was he as an oratory? michigan governor cast criticized it but others seem to be drawn to it. how well did he deliver the speeches he had to deliver and as well i know the chinese usually had the writer of the speech be different than the

and some indians chose to join him. and yes, they were sometimes reenacting scenes that they had lived, but they were also being paid. they were seeing the country and seeing the world, at least europe, at times, when the show would go there. and there were many personal reasons for an american indian man or woman to join the show. the families could also travel with the show. so, women would be behind the scenes, taking care in the camp. teepees, we're able to travel and live like, and also wear clothing as they would. and they weren't always allowed to do that on the reservations in the u.s.. so, i wanted to highlight that one collection and also show that intimate moment behind the scenes, and the friendship that transpired between a lot of the indian performers and cody. >> this category of photographs i think you call silver gelatin, what is? that >> silver gelatin photographs have become popular especially through the eastman kodak company for the late 18 eighties all the way up to digital, what we know of until t

so i sources and to live part of their lives in the tribe and with that time among the indian indians. >> and what the origins were for the shawnee? and you devote a chapter so very briefly what was that that they grew up in? i know the shawnee had five divisions and were not cohesive. origins in ohio but they fled in the 1600 when the iroquois he swept most of the people out of the ohio valley. and to the mid- 17 hundreds and then to reunite in southern ohio with a fraternal society and a man's worth warrior and a hunter. and then to go back and forth so as a man to be a hunter and a provider for your families by how well you married or how were your husband did as a provider and it was a culture to practice agriculture with a wide variety of foods there were five traditions and each division traditionally was supposed to provide one aspect of the leadership another tribe has religious leaders to be the providers but in practice and as time went by those differences became less important although the membership in the division does not define you to a degree you had five divisions an

there was vigorous opposition to indian removal. who was aligned in that opposition and how organized president that was written as the envision asked there were a number of people that wanted to cut their losses. that this wasn't a just policy necessarily but given the tremendous pressure they were on and the fact state governments and foreign governments were not protecting them in any way. and encouraging squatters to steal the land and property. there are practical reasons why they wanted to stay and they wanted to stay there. the most current opposition we did find allies among missionaries who lived among them and and also the church -based groups in the north and this is the single most controversial issue to come before the republic and up to that date it had the most mathematician campaign of thousands of americans that men and women because they were not to be appropriate participants in the process. and then to be deeply critical petition to congress for the people to stay in their homeland. >> so the papers were condemni

indians would also fill most of the positions in the indian agency. he would also include indians in his roughriders. ,eronimo and five other chiefs followed by 350 students from the carlisle indian school, marched on horseback in roosevelt's inaugural parade. dedicated his autobiography to roosevelt. these by no means suggest he was either a supporter of indian people or not racist. that whites were at the top of civilization. jews, andd indians, italians in his roughriders. he excluded african and asian-americans, because he thought they were inferior. what possible explanation that i come upon is that he needed them for the development of the american race. fact, much of his rhetoric was designed to shape the people into one cohesive identity -- american. he believed a form of civic nationalism that welcomed into society even those european , an apt description of how he envisioned americanism is the melting pot. america is god's crucible, the great melting pot where the races of europe are melting. jews and russians, into the crucible with you all

policy both before and after indian removal to take indian land. to eliminate the ink in physical ann coulter present and extirpate any indian communities who resisted, i believe where answering the question but i did know if you have anything to add? >> when we talk about policy, i suppose you could step back and suggest that there was some sort of broader -- when we say policy i think we need to be specific about what we mean. you can step back and said there was some broader sentiment that existed from 1500 up to, you could say the present, which was a desire to eliminate native people, to take the land and eliminate them. but when we talk specifically about policy about the political choices that people make, it varies over time. they are hotly debated and that's when the things i want to underscore in my book. there was nothing automatic about indian removal. this deeply, hotly debated and the petitions that come in from the opponents of this policy say that the future of the republic depends on what it does to native people. is it going to ab

to their feast, the pilgrims invited their indian friends. pilgrims would give thanks to god, i thanksgiving at the end of their first year. pilgrims an inky indians would share the harvest, i'm gain skill. this was a time of laughter and rejoicing, it was also the and every year of enormous hardships. for the brave men, women and, children in the plymouth colony. of those who came to settle eagerly a year before, less than half has left. but in that one difficult year they achieved much. they built the first colony in new england. they had freedom to worship in their own way. they can make laws in their own system of self government. william bradford undid his history with these words. those who came over first in the year 16 20, by the blessing of god, were first beginners. and in a sort, the foundation of all the plantation and colonies in new england.

he gave it to the indians. he gave this land to the indians. so i say look, we are fighting for this land, it is our land, it is always been our land, god gave it to us, the creator gave it to. us so we thought fought for this land. our native blood is all over this land, soaked into this earth, earth is precious to us. and now, we become universal, and i say that our blood is soaked all over this confident, all over this world. native blood is everywhere, in this land. so it is precious to us. that is why we respect it, and do the right thing and care for it. -- >> so, one of the things we think about a lot, thinking about after the memorial opens, it is sort of protocols around how people use the memorial. we know that native people will know the proper way to offer, make an offering of sage, sweet grass or cedar. but how do you think we ought to advise our non native guests to experience the memorial? >> you know, i think, i think most people are very aware of the religions and the freedom to have a religion the way you want. you see in our

. >> are they all represented in the congress of american indians? tell us about that group. >> the national congress of american indians is the oldest and largest organization in congress of tribal nations. we represent every region in the united states and every tribal nation. >> tell us about your tribal nation. >> thank you for asking. our nation is located on the coast of washington state on the olympic peninsula. 31 miles along the pacific. acres, trees,0 mountains, rivers, lakes, streams, beautiful coastline, it is absolutely gorgeous. >> we know coronavirus has disproportionately impacted minority communities. impact?talk about the what you have seen, the health impacts over the past eight and a half months? >> i think it is important to point out that the disproportionate impact of our health care system in the united tribalwas impacting nations long before covid. covid only exposed our vulnerabilities. our nation like every tribe suffer a health care system that is woefully inadequate. there was a report to congress the detailed not one fed

then, they found a place where indians had buried seed corn.s area was the site of an abandoned village. the explorers decided it would be a good place for their settlement. they would call it plymouth, named after an earlier explorer of new england. they began to unload passengers and goods from the mayflower. december 25, christmas day was not a holiday celebrated by pilgrims, so as bradford wrote -- >> on the 25th day of december, they began to erect the first house for common use, to receive them and their goods. >> plots of ground were measured out for each family. they could waste no time in planning and building their settlement. it was now winter and many of them were becoming ill. those who were able kept working to build houses. but the cold, damp winter weather and the sicknesses they had suffered on their long voyage began to strike them down. so as they died, sometimes two or three a day, a scarce 150 50 remained. and of these, there were but six or seven sound persons who spared no pain night or day, but with an abundance of toil

there would be indian conflict after indian conflict throughout new england. worst of all, from the standpoint of plymouth colony, soon after, it would be absorbed by massachusetts bay. in the years after the war, new england, which had been remarkably independent from the mother country throughout the first half-century of the 17th century -- there would be a royal governing -- royal governor, and that would really end imperial europe because by fighting this war with the native americans that had stood by their side for so long, the children and grandchildren had really destroyed their forefathers' way of life. when you take the ark of the story from the mayflower to king philip's war, you begin to see that -- you know, when i was a teenager in my pinnacle teenage years in the 1960's and 1970's, i began to look at the pilgrims as irrelevant to america, as a kind of stereotype with buckles on their shoes that people trotted out for thanksgiving. this is not the case. context,put it in those first 56 years, the story is vital to showing what america would beco

there would be indian conflict after indian conflict throughout new england. and worst of all, from the standpoint of plymouth, it would be absorbed by massachusetts bay and in the years after the war, new england, which had been remarkably independent of a mother country, throughout the first half century of the 17th century, there would be a royal governor. and thus would end an era in new england. by fighting this war of annihilation with the native people that had been stood by their side for so long, the children and grandchildren of the pilgrims had destroyed their forefathers' way of life. when you take the arc of the story, from the "mayflower" to its -- to king phillip's war, you begin to see that, you know, when i was a teenager, in my cynical teenage years in the '60s and '70s, i began to look at the pilgrims as irrelevant to america, as kind of stereotypes, with buckles on their shoes that were trotted out for thanksgiving. and this is not the case. when you put it in the context during those first 56 years, the story of the pilgrims is vital to sh

he gave it to the indians. he gave this land to the indians. i always say, look, we're fighting for this land. it's our land. it has always been our land. god gave it to us. the creator gave it to us. we fight for this land. our native blood is all over this land, soaked into this earth. the earth is precious to us.uni our blood is soaked all over this continent, all over this world. native blood is everywhere defending this land so it's precious to us, that's why we try to respect it and do the right thing and care for it, so -- >> so one of the things we think about a lot in thinking about after the memorial opens sorry this sort of protocols around how people use the memorial and we know that native people will know what a prayer tie is and they know the proper way to offer and make an offering and sage and sweet grass or cedar, but how do you think we ought to advise our non-native guests to -- to experience the memorial? >> you know, i think that -- i think that most people are very aware of religions, the freedom to have a religion the wa

that's the indians' legal rights to these lands. knox said, for instance, the indians possess the right to all of their territory which they have not fairly conveyed. they should not be -- this is a quote, divested thereof but in consequence of open treaties. this was understood to be a right of occupancy, not to the underlying title to the land. but it was a legal right all the same. but all of this was undergirded by something else that knox would write in the summer that after 50 years or so, it is most probably that the indians will by the invariable operation of the causes which have existed in their intercourse with the whites be reduce today a very small number. underlining all of this as a sense of inevitability. the acts of first 1790 and then a number of iterations in the years to follow. these were regulations concerning the modes of white settlement, the purchase of indian lands, all forms of interaction and trade, individuals or even governments other than the united states federal government, were prohibited from purch

with thepiece was made indians, the pilgrims felt safe.llow the mayflower to sail back to england. as they watched, perhaps they realized they would never see their old homes again, but they had homes now in their new colony of plymouth. that theized, too, merchants in england who had lent money to the colony would be waiting to be repaid in trade goods. so there was still much work to be done in this first year. it was now april. ♪ able began as were to plant corn. set fish in them to the ground to help it grow. directed them where to catch fish. so all that summer, there was no want and every family had their portion. narrator: in a small but sturdy home -- in the small but sturdy homes the pilgrims had built, cooking and studying and every day of the family life were going on. as the summer of their first year came to an end, pilgrim farmers harvested the corn they planted. to celebrate their harvest, they prepared a feast. grown,as food they had wild turkeys from the forest, and lobsters and fish from the sea. feast, the pilgrims invit

american indians found strong incentives to maintain their identity as american indians. tribes began keeping roles of those recognized tribal citizens, although practices varied and generated conflict within tribes and with white officials and claimants. the lives of american indians -- you can see where most people lived in the south in 1860. it is where slavery is strong. we are switching from 1910-1920, seeing a national pattern. you can see oklahoma, and in 1910-1920, the south is growing well among white people. that same decade, what is this? the great migration, ok? this is when african-american people finally have a chance to make lives in the north. you can see where they are leaving, the places where they had been held in slavery. it is interesting to think about that today the political future of the nation will be determined in south carolina, which is a direct consequence of all of this migration, and the fact that other seven -- southern states will determine who wins the vote for president. it will be determined by the patterns established right here. duri

a lot of it is about indian removal. he says, look, georgia, alabama have passed these laws imposing their laws over the indian nations. they're perfectly right in doing so, and the tribes are become to stay. but they will be subject to state law. what i would like you, congress, to do is to pass legislation, offering, if they want to, to trade with these tribes in the southeast their current lands for lands out in what was essentially the louisiana purchase territory. and way out in the louisiana purchase territory, as far as you could go, before you were in mexico. it was right at the basically mexico border in what would eventually be the texas border, when texas is an independent state. that little corner is where these tribes are going to be tucked if jackson had his way. this message was delivered in the audience, by the way, to troop and former governor forsythe and they're going to become, as they were architects in georgia of the idea of ousting the cherokees, they're going to become major backers of the indian

there was not much shouting then except for what came from the indians. they eventually ended up at a place that is a place name, a place for chiefs, on the york river, not far from jamestown, but that was the place where pocahontas and john smith and the chief came together and you know this fable, that pocahontas saved john smith's life and therefore, the colony was saved. is that true? not many people believe it. she was only 10, 11, or 12 years old at the time. it is doubtful she had the authority to save the life of the governor of the colony but that is perpetuated from films and other stories. my tribe, we're up the river from what was the north and west, divide into two rivers. the one in the left his monkey people. the monkey, the same rivers in the same names today. possibly the oldest reservation in the country. the reservation was affirmed by the assembly in 1568. one of the oldest reservations in the country. in 1670, the largest concentration of indians in the entire commonwealth of virginia was a little town where people live today. on the

they left the state to register as indians when they were drafted. that is a brief piece of the history, this history was the same for the other indians in virginia. but my time is up. and it's my pleasure, chief adkins, you need to step this way, please. [ applause ] . he was elected to serve as the principal chief of the cherokee nation. more than 380,000 triable citizens in 2019. prior to being elected, he serves the cherokee nation secretary of state. as principal chief he increased minimum wage at cherokee nation and cherokee nation businesses and secured the largest language investment in the tribe's history to expand the cherokee language education and preservation. chief haskin also appointed the tribe's first delegate to the u.s. congress, double the funding, and accomplish the housing, jobs, and sustainable communities act to prepare hundreds of homes for cherokee elders and buildingings across a 13 county jurisdiction. haskin worked to secure funding to fund a billion dollar joint venture. he is also the strongest advocate on sovereignty p

or were the indians actually taken advantage of? >> yes. >> i'm sure that was -- >> the earlier part of your question, yeah. so, citizenship actually will become a deal in some of the removal treaties. you know, you give us your land -- and it wasn't state citizenship, it was united states citizenship. there's actually a group who lived -- whose lands are just east of where i am in central oklahoma, the citizen pottawatomie nation. and the citizen part is, that is a part of their removal deal, they were granted u.s. citizenship. but i don't think it was so much -- so, there are two parties we're talking about here. so, i can't really speak to any sort of collective congressional animus towards native peoples, but i can tell you there are a lot of native peoples who weren't particularly interested in united states citizenship. it's an unmixed blessing, right? they were citizens of their own nations and happy to sort of live life as citizens of cherokee nation or chickasaw nation or whatever. there are individual cases of sort of trib

american indians found strong incentives to maintain their identity as american indians. they kept their roles to practice generated conflict within tribes, white officials, and claimants. the lives of american indians, you can see where most people live in the south in 1860 welcome and it is where slavery is strong. now we're witswitching from 191o 1920. you see oklahoma now, you see that the south is actually growing pretty well among white people. that same decade, what is this? this is the great migration, okay? this is when african-american people finally have a chance to make lives in the north. and you can see where they're leaving. they're leaving the very places they have been held in slavery. it is very interesting to think about today the political future of the nation will be determined in south carolina which is a direct consequence of all of this migration and the fact that the other southern states are going to come and determine who can win the vote to become president of the united states. a lot of it will determine on the demographic patterns that are cr

they provided the english in carolina with 200 indian slaves. by 1710, that number had grown to over 1,500. now, there are reasons why they might be selling other native people to the english. and i can talk about those in q & a and i talk about them in the book. one of the most important explanations is that they are not a unified political block. they have pre-existing rivalries and this is a fabulous opportunity on try to undercut the political power of some of their rivals. now, let's move into the 19th century quickly here because this is where the story begins to really escalate in a negative way for the yammasees. they engage in this trade in slaves. they begin to rack up a bunch of debts. they're selling slaves to the english and they're buying manufactured items from those english traders, but they can't seem to get terms of trade that get yamasee communities out of a perpetual indebtedness and they continue to rack up as we move through the 18th century. so there is a delicate economic balance that is existing here in the early 18th ce

so the indians then, when the tribe is being removed to the indian nations or the indian territory what is now. oklahoma, he really wants to go with them. this is 1873 and he is 13. and his indian grandmother, is french and indian grandmother says no. you've got to make something of your life or if you come with us you can't do that. so you have to stay with your white grandmother and get an and make something of yourself. i don't think you can overestimate what those two women, the impact those two women had on his life. he comes to topeka, he attends high school. he does not graduate, it is only a two year program. so it is not unusual for people to not graduate at the end for it but he worked. he had one horse and a buggy. and he borrowed or rented a horse and he runs a taxi service service. he's running the legislators and he becomes the practice of law. and so he reads for the law that's not uncommon at that point. that is how he passes the bar. curtis had decades of legislative experience. he was the first republican senate majority leader, he was to some people, some newspaper ed

i'm the director for the american indian culture. i want to mimic the message april just said and thank supervisor ronen and really thank paul. i can't count the number of times he called me on the weekends or week nights or just text to really get this done. soy just want to appreciate him and director davis and the efforts of the human rights commission as well. you know, my brother greg for his excellent work. he's a board member with us and for getting this passed. i really hope that every time you read this, i know i've said this over and over again, this is a reminder that we're here and this is a reminder of those survivors, those few folks that came from the original thousands of the ramaytush ohlone. and that were alive and that folks still continue to talk about. i say this from the ramaytush ohlone acknowledgment. it's a start of acknowledging all of our people. and so -- and i also want to acknowledge my sister april. this isn't just myself and the ramaytush ohlone folks. you know, when people like her and other people in

they don't exist as europeans like to try and create an image of the authentic indian. they don't exist outside of time. they very much are within history. they have a different version of it. it emphasizes community, the cyclical nature of time in place. but they are very much attuned to the importance of constantly innovating in adapting, moving and shifting their identities, their community, their sense of solidarity when necessary. responding in a creative and proactive way. that's what we see in the native south. that's the example i'm going to share with you as it relates to a group of people who some of you may or may not have heard out, the yemen sea indians. that was their experience in the late 17th century and they became refugees, migrants in what is roughly today the border between georgia and florida. they joined a series of refugee and resettlement movements that were beginning to take place over the course of the 17th and 18th centuries. as the maps i've shared with you on the screen attempt to indicate. these are maps that were made by jack forbes back

people, i had never met an indian. became good friends with everyone of them and i was welcomed into their families and i learned so much from them. now, sadly, 50 years later, all the old elders are gone. uncle bob, uncle frazier, uncle edwards. they were passing down things to all the younger people. now all of those people that are 45 are in their 60's, they are just dying left and right from diabetes and other diseases. whole families. .t's sad, it's terrible the government, the united states government had no problem making the promises that they did way back when. care, theye health really have to do it right. instead of, there's more and , americann american indians being voted into congress and the senate and the house, but we need more to open up people's eyes. like they ought to have an american indian be in charge of the environment. host: fawn sharp? guest: yes, i can feel every bit of what you are saying with regards to the elders dying off. every time we lose an elder, it's so much we have lost. those are

they are grinding indian corn, a food essential to everybody. well the brother oliver is milking the family got a highly price position brock but england. and now, jason hathaway the new fire, i need ever to light it. here is at the fox place. >> would there be a number in your fire for the careless battlers, john? >> -- there is little change. fever has not left him, he is many days. >> one day, when you are well again bloody, you can help me. >> fireplace does not always get adequate heat, especially when there are sickness in the house. sickness that might be very serious. today, as always, there is a full schedule of work ahead. for the bachelor's, and the entire community. it is time for mr. fox and all of her to set out for the fields. they are clearing is over be on this bridge of rocks. there is a good view of the ocean from the ridge. and mr. fox and all of our glad to see their neighbors hauling in a plentiful catch a fish. food from the sea? from the land. the settlement will need both when winter comes. the first corn crop is coming
