this stopped the native american, and the american settlers confrontations in the northwest territories. opening the area of four settlement. after the american revolution and a signing of a treating of paris in 1783, the i-states had gained a sovereignty from great britain. what we are standing in now, was the northwest territory and this is what the americas actually gained from the treaty of paris. unfortunately however, the native americans who had been living in this land were not in the negotiations. and they had been here farming, hunting, fishing for hundreds of years. when you have people who are moving into what you believe is your land, you are bound to have problems with what you see as invaders into your homeland. during this point in time, we do have treaties that are taking place through the ohio river and coming up towards where we are standing right now. the treaties were never properly enforced. nor were they ever properly negotiated. you are going to start to also have native americans who are not viewing the americans as just or really this bargaining appropriately.

taylor and this is misty and today we are going to talk about the native american and anglo-american trade in virginia and in the southeast in general. this is part of the native history class at virginia tech, where we talk about things as diverse as tribal sovereignty in the 20th century and diplomacy with the united states in the 18th and 19th centuries and then the histories settler and extractive colonialism before that. and then before that, precolonial life and what life was like across the north american continent. so in this lecture, we're going to be talking about what precolonial life was like in what is now the state of virginia. then we are going to talk about how english people tapped into those trade networks and transformed native american life across the southeast. and finally we will talk about why it matters today. first we need to outline what the native american world was like before the colonists arrived at jamestown in 1607. the answer is that the north american continent was crisscrossed by trade routes that went all across the mountains of what we now know as

of the native american people were telling the future of native american people? and present day we have lots of artisan performers that come here and share their knowledge and their experiences and their lives with our guests our visitors and if you have knowledge, you have everything you need. that's crazy horse started to become this young warrior this young mighty warrior. a lot of good deeds how he stood for the people how he tried to walk in harmony with all of creation. he looked out for the little children the handicapped the elderly the women folks. they were always first was crazy horse. he looked out for the whole people. whatever biggest challenge of course is you know, it has it's not the money. most people would think the biggest challenges understanding the mountain and knowing where the seam lines are and knowing all of that and making sure we keep that safe and i'm you know, that is the biggest challenge the other challenge is to get people to understand that it is something that's ongoing and growing all the time one, you know, we have people tha

yes, we had native americans but, candidly, there isn't much native american culture in american culturere. >> to be clear, native americans who populated this country before european colonizers arrived had a rich life and culture, a culture that colonizers in turn tried and in many cases managed to destroy and appropriate. native american culture can be seen in art, music, sports, food, medicine and what we know as democracy stem from a political system developed by native americans in 1142, considered to be the oldest living participatory democracy on earth. joining me now is one of the first two native american women to serve in congress, sharice davis of can as, the vice-chairman of the infrastructure committee and the cochairman of the native american caucus. we will talk about those in a second. congresswoman, we are talking about a lot of firsts here, we know you are one of the first two native american women, the first democrat elected in kansas in a decade, the first openly lgbt native american elected to congress, you were raised by an army veteran mom. mostly, the thing we nev

my name is matthew campbell and i am a staff attorney at the native american rights fund. i am a member of the native village gamble in alaska and work at the boulder, colorado office. we are dedicated to protecting the rights of native people. i'm honored to address the committee today about the impact of voter id laws on native americans. native americans have historically faced discrimination when attempting to vote. for example, the arizona supreme court upheld in 1928 that native americans could not register to vote because they were wards of the federal government. that decision stood for 20 years. utah and north dakota were the last states to officially grant native americans the rights to vote in the late 1950's. we've seen that the discrimination against native voters continues today in the form of voter id. native americans face many obstacles to voting. they live in isolated communities disproportionately faraway from state and governmental offices. they have high levels of poverty within their community. they disproportionately lack access to transportation and

that we had to really learn after the freedom of religion act was passed from native americans that was until the seventy's we couldn't practice our culture into the seventy's so you know a lot of the culture that was lost because of indian boarding schools and natives being forced to forget who we were we had to go back and read learn those things so by the time i was born you know my grandmother was just starting to really learn the language because we couldn't even talk about it you could even talk about being indian people she was mexican you know and. and i mean and you know mexicans are indigenous to that's why you see so many similarities from the southern tribes coming in it's an imaginary border you know they're indigenous as well and so people didn't know she was choctaw so later on she went back to learn the traditional ways and she was able to teach that i mean. she. she. she. she chose. her. she. was she. was. it was coming. from the daughter of freedom fighters and bombers of another run. place where the an indian some of. that gorgeous song is caught in song in the lakota

yes, we have native americans, but, candidly, there isn't much native american culture in american cultureick, two problems. one, it's not accurate. there is a lot of affect from the native culture on america -- >> absolutely. >> and there are a lot of people here who believe in that. and it seemed like you were trying to erase diversity in the interest of some white christian right. >> no, no, no, no. just to be clear, what i was not saying is that native american culture -- i misspoke. what i was talking about is, as you can see from the run-up, i was talking about the founding of our country. i had given a long talk about the constitution, the declaration of independence, and the idea behind those and i was saying we sort of created that anew, if you will. and i was not trying to dismiss native americans. in fact, i mentioned them because, yes, they were here and did have an impact. they have a huge impact particularly in the west and many other areas of the country. i was talking about and i misspoke, the founding and the principles embodied in the founding. i would never -- and people

native american and african american but was told by the t.v. show american idol that she wasn't american idol to compete they said i was too ethnic i was too afaik and if they have an ethnic idol they'll be sure to give me a call yeah so. one site even. even me i mean so if you were the values. you know. 'd you have a unique backstory i guarantee no one else has a back story like yours to prove it i'm going to show our audience some pictures that he let's start with this one here have a look at my laptop this is johnny i'm going to show a picture of your grandmother and your mother this is where your musical inspiration the musical education started would you explain because a lot of people we look at these but just say what. tell us. what. i learned was being at home with my mother and my grandmother in the kitchen a lot of times people were x. my mother was with her vocal coast to train of this thing and they think that she's going to you know sit up at a piano and teach them notes and she'll make them come you know shop corn and pick greens

, but there isn't much native american culture and american culture.ri now despite rick santorum admittingnd trying to clarify his remarks on fake new cnn, and what he was specifically talking about, that's not enough for the left-wing outrage machine and the woke cancel culture social warriors that pressured fake news cnn to cave to the mob and cut ties with the one guy that had a different point of view, rick santorum, but here's a question that i have perfect new cnn, have you made a decision yet about jeffrey toobin's future? you know, the guy caught on the zoom call, let's say enjoying himself a little too much, i could mention a few other people that are still working there too coming here to respond senator rick santorum, senator, how are you? it's great to have you back. you made these comments. you say in an interview numerous times that you misspoke, and you explain what you meant, why the firing? s >> well, i think coming appointed to some of it, that there has been a lot of pressure from outside, there has been an effort, i was at cnn for four and a half years and you know, lit

soledad: native american dancers breaking down barriers. >> us being two spirit and being very public has created the conversation for a lot of native homes. soledad: meet the couple dancing to express identity and gain acceptance. i'm soledad o'brien. welcome to matter of fact. what happens when the justice system gets it wrong? someone behind bars is freed after years or decades of time served, they are released to an uncertain future. that's the story of sean ellis of dorchester, massachusetts. at age 19, he was convicted for murdering a boston police officer. in 2015, after spending more than 21 years in prison, he was freed, but still faced a weapons charge. as of last week, his record now reads "all charges dropped." sean: i'm fortunate that i'm able to be able to see my mom, at one point i had a fear she would pass away while i was in prison. and i don't have to have that fear anymore. soledad: ellis' story is not rare. studies suggest about 6% of prisoners are wrongfully convicted. jason flom is an advocate to free those prisoners. he is a successful record executive and a fou

the story of native americans is absolutely critical. and the erasure of this nocidal history, in particular in the united states, is evidenced, as you sho in the perverse use of native american names and designations fomilitary weapons, from black hawk to apache, as well as military operations, the most recent and proximate of which was the may 11 operaon named geronimo to assassinate osama bin laden. so could you talk a little bit more aut that, the way in which native amecan histy has been disrted, if notntirely erased, and the uses to which it's been put in contemporary u.s. politics? >> well, it's clear that -- and you see that throughout the film through different type of device or type of stories, level of stories in the film, is how everything is somehow connected. you know, the history of the native american, which isfor me, the core story, whether it has been pushed out and erased sometimes or told the wrong way, it's like a phantom. it's already there. you can't get rid of it. there are so many skeletons in those boxes that th

to protect native americans from discriminatory voter id laws.or the unique circumstances facing native american voters the renters strict voter id laws particularly burdensome. >> thank you and think one of the biggest things that we saw was a i requirement residential address. for many homes on the reservations and the decoded is simply not have a residential address. it is a requirement for central with. the other things are high levels of poverty many reservations, the lack of access to transportation and disproportionately long distances to the offices to get their drivers license with the beat, all these things as a disproportionately on the make native american voters to obtain an id predict. >> and thank you for mr. campbell. i recall a couple of years ago when we held this hearing and in north dakota, there was an abundance of evidence from that community that so many people do not have addresses and other discriminate against them and prevents them from having the id that the law requires a thank you for including that in the record. ag

campbell, you have successfully litigated i'm told to protect native americans -- almost said native african americans. -- from discriminatory voter id laws. what are the unique circumstances facing native american voters that renders strict voter id laws, particularly burdensome? >> thank you, mr. chairman. one of the biggest things we saw in north dakota was the requirement of a residential address. when many homes on the reservation in north dakota simply do not have a residential address. so as a requirement that was potentially impossible to comply with. the other things we saw the high levels of poverty on many reservations, the lack of assets, transportation. disproportionally long distances to government offices like the driver's license sites. all these things place a a disproportionate burden on native american voters to octane voter ids. >> and thank you for that, mr. campbell. i recall a couple years ago when we held this hearing out in north dakota, there was an abundance of evidence from that community, that so many people do not have reservation addresses and how that d

we may be overrun by the french who may be overrun by native americans. and all these things are feeding into saying witchcraft trials a memory of that horror are feeding into a sense of religious crisis through the colonies, i think in general, but especially in new england. 1720s 1730s and then guess what? you get the great awakening? now, i mean most people i think feel like the time they live in is a time of of crisis. but there's no doubt that. the colonists felt that crisis in the 1730s and i think culturally religiously that set them up. for a new religious awakening and the first great awakening 1730s and 40s is kind of the main event, although cascading effects of the revivals keep on going into the revolutionary period in the 1770s um, and it's it's hard to explain. why did the awakening happen exactly? you could look at social and cultural factors. you could look at the history of the decline of puritanism. and for sure. i know some of you would look at you know, spiritual factors that you know still today, you know, maybe people will say that

this provides the context for how native american women like pocahontas and native american children got to know the settlers that came was through the trait in foodstuffs. the be things that copper kettles, which was a is will material. the powhatan's formed alliances through traded goods and gifted good. hughes seen with a white dog gifted to him. even later into a few years, he poured wine for a diplomatic discussion. he understands that gifted good are part of the ways form from ship -- form friendship. english begin to flood the market of these luxury goods copper. part of health date controlled who have power wizardry out about the goods. here's this copper, it is harder to control who gets what kinds of goods and therefore will kind of wealth and power. >> learn more to lie at 8 p.m. eastern here on history tv. >> american history on stand three. every weekend. funding comes from these television companies and more. >> she argues that human right to poverty are directly connected and human rights around the world necessary to eradicate global poverty. we reported this in 2009

so the inclusion of african-american's minorities women the role of native americans in our army this timeline and the artifacts that are within this timeline. tell that story so you talk about the emancipation proclamation right? well in that allowed the army to recruit african-american soldiers into the union army that had a big impact on the how we fought battles at the end of the war and also continues on during world war. i for example the formation of the 92nd 93rd infantry division 360 9th infantry division known as the harlem health fighters. so you'll see as we involved over time. not only we reflect all so the values or reflect what's happening in american society as well? so the metal you see here is probably the earliest award to recognize the service by soldiers african-american soldiers during the civil war. so it was created by in 1864 by then major general benjamin butler at butler was a fascinating character from the civil war. he was actually a lawyer and a big advocate for ending slavery and in fact his decision early on in the war was was significant. so this sort

it was here, the native americans had this country before the europeans came. yes, the european conquered the country and colonized it. it had nothing to do with the founding of this country, he should recognize that. he needs to know that especially if he's going to be on television representing us and talking about it. he should be doing it from the right perspective and not from some perspective from how and what europeans. no, that's the wrong way to look at it. it is all wrong. i am sorry, that's the truth. and -- i can't believe i was watching and i can't believe this man was sitting here and doing this. it was before black lives matter, it was native american lives matter moment for me w watching that. >> well, ask yourself this, you deal with the emotion of it. why are things like that since? why does he not apologize but say -- >> that's not for me to answer. that's for him to answer. >> you have to because you are not going to have any place to put your pain. >> listen, i have this platform and i have to be honest about it. i got a place to put my pai

the native americans had this country, before the europeans came. yeah, the europeans conquered the country. they colonized it. but they didn't -- it -- it had nothing to do with the founding of this country. and he should recognize that. he needs to know that, especially if he is going to be on television, representing us and talking about it. he should be doing it, from the right perspective. and not from some perspective about how, you know, what europeans -- no. that -- that's the wrong way to look at it. that is -- he is -- he is -- it's all wrong. i'm sorry, but that is the truth. and i can't believe. i just, i was watching it going i can't believe this man is sitting here and doing this. it was -- for black lives matter, it was like native american lives matter moment for me, watching that. >> well, ask yourself this. once, you know, you deal with the emotion of it. why are things like that said? and why, does he not apologize? but say -- >> that's not for me to answer. that's for him to answer. >> but you have to because, otherwise, you're n

there had been constant conflict between native americans and whites. it is no coincidence that the jamestown colony with john smith, and the plymouth rock pilgrims, hired soldiers of fortune to be their leaders. but once again, i want to emphasize, because i think there has been a bit of a disney vacation. because the savages or the heathens as they would call them, the butchers bill ran both ways. for every head that was scalped, or white militia men that was you know made to dance while his fingers are hands were chopped off, or every time there's one scene where they capture one of george washington's best friend and they bring him alive at the stake after flaying him. and a witness described his brains bubbling in his skull until his nose starts whistling like a tea kettle. but once again, for andy for every indian atrophy there is a white atrocity. you have spanish in florida, running down some malls with packs of bloodhounds. you had, regina militiamen, and pennsylvania militiamen attacking and killing men women with men women and children, inclu

and it is included genocide against the native american people.o make any type of genocide special i think is really not correct way of eing the history hankind all cied from eacother. all across scific -- you can't directly comre the genocide of rwanda with the genocide of cambodia and with the holocaust. they have dferent ideogical asons. theyave different historical reasons. they have different people involved. but as the structure, as the system of genocide, they all obey the same pattern of first pitting down a special category of person, people, and then saying we are superior to them. as soon as you come to the point where they are animals or they are savages, you are allowed to kill them. and that is the excuse always needed for every imperialist, for every coneror iorder to iminate whoev was on e nd ty wantedo conque it hpened similar thughout e histy of hunkind. d it bece more specific thin theonce of the capilisticociety becse en it waalso linketo profit. it was ao linked to ma bier terriries in der to explt largeommunies. so i have had

this comes down to what we did to native americans in this country when we founded it. we have been conquerors and occupiers in their minds all along. it did not happen in a time when there was a modern age with television and we can see what is going on and chime in on twitter. there's not much of a solution, i do not think the u.s. should be overly involved. i do not think anybody in the u.s. wants people from other countries coming over to tell us how to deal with native americans. the native americans have been forced into a situation where they do not have much of a part in this country the way they showed -- should. for better or worse, they have accepted their situation, there is no great solution. it is sound on both ends. no matter who is in charge or who has control, somebody is going to be considered a loser. host: go ahead and respond martin. guest: what beth said reminded me of this old reddish movie -- british movie, shirley valentine i think was called. she looked at the camera in exasperation and said marriage is like the middle east, there is no solutio

another assumption about native americans, native americans would flock to burgoyne's army and of course that didn't happen so it was based on a lot of bad assumptions should. >> he didn't get lunch canadians either. >> no. he didn't. the final piece of your question when you said about how he had to understand that he was meant to go up the hudson, i think that was true but remember his plan was often approved. by the king and jermaine. i got what he mentioned, very explicit orders saying yes "the king and i" have approved your plan to go to philadelphia and after that, once you do that, then you need to go back so how is the commander-in-chief, he is reading it as commander-in-chief will, the boss approved my plan. the secondary part is burgoyne went undone. who knows when so he reads it as i think any commander-in-chief would so let's go to philadelphia. >> i want you to hold that, the miss assumptions that underlie the campaign, we will come back to that when we wrap up and introduce audience questions and move on to the battle itself. this confused me for years, this wasn't bought i

they examined america's westward expansion and brutal conflicts with native americans through the eyes of daniel boone. watermark books and cafe of wichita, kansas hosted this event and provided the video. i want to read a couple of paragraphs from a pitch letter from the executive editor at saint martin's press about this book and he says for years bob drury and tom clavin have been taking forgotten pieces of history and turning them into compelling narratives that illuminate the subjects. making the historical figures or events leap off the page. and i concur with daniel boone. they have found the sub perfect subject for their unique brand of history. he's a well-known historical adventurer shrouded in legend. this fast-paced and fiery narratives fueled by contemporary diaries and journals newspaper reports and eyewitness accounts. is sturring as stirring chronicle of the conflict over america's first frontier that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epic and it's a gripping tales of courage and sacrifice. bob drury and tom clavin are the number one new york times best

there is evidence that native americans have been living in these deserts for at least 10,000 years with relatively little impact. the famed photographer edward curtis photographed the mohave tribe as part of his study of native americans. but the mohave and sonoran deserts remained sparsely settled by europeans. difficult terrain, heat, and lack of water kept most settlers at bay. and while a few hardy adventurers were exploring the desert, it wasn't until the discovery of gold in the 1850s that people began moving to the desert in any number. but the number of permanent settlers still remained low, kept out by the daunting task of surviving in such an inhospitable region. at its best, the desert can be a place of great beauty. people are attracted by the wide-open spaces, unusual geology, wildlife, and unique plants. the plants and animals that live here have adapted to survive in harsh conditions. summer temperatures can reach to over 130 degrees fahrenheit and drop well below freezing in the winter. and then when people show up, they can compound the problems for themselves and for t

there's a native american there will be an asian american we have models of eastern european descent southern european descent jewish descent. we reflect that great ethnic and racial divert diversity of american service in the war. handling the american the african-american figures was a challenge historically because of course african-american americans were segregated in the united states army during the war they served in their own units. and for the most part did not see combat, but there were two divisions in the us army the 92nd and the 93rd divisions that did see combat service. the 93rd division was assigned to fight under french command. and instead of wearing the very familiar pyton helmets that were accustomed to seeing as the image of world war one which is called a brody helmet. it's a british helmet. they wore the french adrian helmet, which is very distinctive. it has a ridge along the crest. it has a smaller brim. and so the african-american figures and helmet that will appear in this in the sculpture. we'll be wearing that adrian helmet to reflect that they served on

of course when you look atin his three, the robber baron era and waste and displacement of native americans murdering them and putting them on reservations, there's a lot of bad things that happened because of the expansion economic policies no doubt about that. how can you see that? i don't know b what he would hae thought to be honest about that. the question during time wasn't necessarily government waste, it was government not spending enough money on the things that matter the most, the greatest number of people so that is a tough one and i went to really pass on that but i think he would have looked at it eventually. he was very open-minded to new ideas. >> abraham lincoln and frederick douglass knew each other well, tell us about their report and how their relationship impacted lincoln's values and policies. >> in modern parlance, i think they would have been enemies. lincoln was the first president i could tell who welcomed douglas into the white house. douglas was a thinker, speaker, abolitionist. he wrote two autobiographies and you read them, he is amazing. he opens up the whole

and the chinese general explained i'm talking about your 300 year war against the native americans.any of the officers came around to agree with him. there was a professor -- my desk is such a mess, but here it is, he taught at west point. it's in order to acquire their land and resources. the proof of course lies in the numbers of the 330 odd, a good 46 million of them can claim that their ancestors wouldn't even talk about it and claimed that their ancestors came through the cumberland gap, the gap that wasn't discovered by daniel boone that was there for centuries, but that act the way through. it was called boone's trace before it became known as the wilderness root. so now, talking about coming full circle, i started this out with 60-year-old james boone as he was being tortured to death. let's come full circle with that. he's now 52-years-old and he joins and knows what this means. it means indians are escaping. so he and his small platoon do see these indians escaping and one of them turns. the militiaman writing. he gets closer and realizes it is big jim who killed and tortu

i agree with the man about the native americans and the blacks who have always been treated badly. myself, i have always lived in a fantasy land, my own world. i don't have a dream. if anybody is killing anything it is trump. he has killed much more people than israel or gaza. he has killed a lot more than them over the virus. why isn't he in jail? host: thanks for the call. device chair of the democratic caucus defending the enhanced unemployment program -- the vice chair of the democratic caucus defending the enhanced unemployment program. he is with the -- here is what the congressman said last week on capitol hill. >> we know the american rescue plan and principles within it are popular. we know that because even in our republic colleagues are talking -- our republican colleagues are talking, vote no. as we turn the page and continue to talk about the jobs plan and the families plan, we are going to be focused on legislating. we are going to be focused on delivering results for our communities and we will let them do what they are going to do. host: on the democrats, are they k

of genocide, quite frankly, since the europeans came to this continent and began colonizing native americansen from her home when she was eight and sent to catholic boarding school for five years she wasn't able to come home so those are some of the things that we live with. and it's caused generational trauma to many communities and, so, i feel like with president biden in office, with his priority of ensuring that we live up to those trust and treaty obligations that it's a new era for indian country >> seth: i assume any time a different party takes over the white house, you obviously have a change in philosophies with the departments different cabinet members run. but i imagine that this is as much of a 180 as you could imagine with what donald trump is doing with his, you know, department of the interior versus what president biden is doing. you know, ryan zinke, who had your job, had to resign due to ethics scandal it was taken over by oil and gas lobbyists. the trump administration opened up a lot of these public lands for oil and gas exploration. how was the state of the department,

. >> native americans. >> native americans, african americans, 3/5 compromise, michael we're hearing about. 3/5 compromise was a god thing. that's what is bubbling up from the bottom. 3/5 compromise was to help end slavery. native americans, you know what is being said about them. this is the move in your party. i don't know -- michael left the party a long time ago. charlie, you just left office, but it's your party. you're trying to fight from the outside in. you guys lost. it's over. i mean, that's what stefanik tells you. that's what mcconnell shutting up. remember what he said about the 6th? ho horrible, horrible what he did. he can still be held responsible, trump. now i don't look backwards. i look forwards. it's over. the question is what is the price, michael? what is the chance going into the next election, they can get so many people so close to believing that it's all a fraud that we have something like january 6 on a different scale? >> sadly, i think it's a pretty decent chance. if 70% of republicans, that's according to a cnn survey that i saw, agree with this narrativ
