  • My people were treated so unfairly its awful

  • As long as greed is the fuel of the USA and lust for power drives the politics and economy then the lives of souls who died on the Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee and other horrible criminal events will have died in vain. People of any race who search the history and realize the truth, the hidden history, please! Do even just a little and pray that the mountain of greed and the endless acquisition of things is moved from us. There are good people in America Native and non Native. One posted this.

  • How come at 2:18 a Black woman in Indian clothing is shown? As a descendant of the Chiefs of the Deer Clan (warrior clan) of the Cherokee Nation, this really doesn't make sense.

  • @MisterRobespierre There were many Cherokee's of mixed African/Cherokee decent and there still are. Of course we enrolled Cherokee's are aware of this. Also, who's to say the woman in the picture is Tsalagiyi to begin with...she may be a person of native/African decent from another nation for all we know.

    Further, who cares?

  • @MisterRobespierre A lot of black slaves fled to various indian tribes to escape the crueness of slavary. Many of those escaped slaves got absorbed into the tribes and married the tribal men and women and lived among them for the rest of their lives having children with them. At pow wows now you can see dancers with the mixed gentics of Africa and Native Americans just as we also see many mixed race white skinned people.

  • Hmm, I wonder when the Cherokee nation is going to allow descendants of real Cherokee, who survived the Trail of Tears, to join the tribe? Presently, you have to prove you have an ancestor listed on the Dawes or Guion Miller rolls, which were rolls taken of only the living Cherokee in Oklahoma in the early 1900's. Screw you fat asses who are in today's fake Cherokee Nation and sucking off the Government and voting for Democrats!

  • I have a special place in my heart for our Native American Indians and pray each of them will feel God's blessings in spite of how they have been treated. Thank you for the posting, very well done. ~OneKewpie~

  • The ONLY way to restore the Indian nation across America is for us to gather a leadership group together to testify before Congress that the Dawes; Baker and Guion rolls do not include ANY of these Cherokee that were removed to Indian Territory. The rolls were only a census of those living in IT in the early 1900's. Baker Roll was a census of living Cherokee in the Southeast. My great-great grandmother survived the trail, died in IT in 1847, but the Cherokee tribe will not allow me to join!!

  • andrew jackson is a complete douchebag..

  • @LanceFrancePants i know i am in 5th grade and i was learning about how andrew jackson didn't follow the law of indians can't be pushed of their land and i'm like andrew jackson is a jerk! my great great great grandma was a cherokee indian so that means that a few of my ansestors had to go through this! Screw you andrew jackson!

  • I always amaze to see how similar our nations history is.

    I hope you eventually will achieve the best for your nation

    Greetings from Jerusalem Israel

    

  • 70,000 people died on the trail of tears. Its' called DISCRININATION. It is what it is.]-;

  • indian reservations are still bad, im 16 and i came from a nice house and a big city and when i went back to the rez, this year. i was sad to see that alot of natives have completly givin up' 2 of my family members created suicide in 3 months. and the BIG part is the drinking problems, their spirits are half-dead and it just makes me sad/: indians shouldnt be this way, they're still alot of homeless there, mostly elderly! when i grow up i wanna change everything...

  • @laluhhxoxo : That´s so sad! =( How could you tell them that the world needs their spirit, their wellbeeing and their light? The drinking destroys them and nobody fighst for their right, if they don´t. I really hope all natives in America takes pride and claims their rights! Pride isn´t taking drugs or alcohol , or giving up =(

    Yes, i wish a change for the better also for American natives!

  • Andrew Jackson is & ALWAYS WILL be a asshole!!!! I WON'T wait for a time machine. He never should have been alive!!!! Or his family. FUCK ALL U.S. gov. & ARMY, you will pay for your crimes.

  • The memory of the American Indian is slowly becoming a fading time in our history. The schools aren't teaching the real truth of the Native American. The first people the pilgrims met were curious but friendly Indians. The first winter the Indians helped the settlers from starving to death. My grand Mother was full Cherokee Indian and I'm 1/4 . My grandchildren are even less,but I try to constantly remind them of their heritage and the injustice that was placed on a proud people.

  • don't forget that all natives from Alaska to tierra del fuego(Chile) ARE ONE PEOPLE, DON'T LET WHITES DIVIDE US.

  • "I DON'T CARE what the court/law SAYS! I'm going to DO what I WANT TO!" - U.S. federal government (1776-present)

  • sad history between the spanish the british and the settlers it is a miracle any native americans survived

  • this nation what we enjoy today is made by many crudity and evil thoughts may GOD forgive them.

  • One day all our brothers blood will cry for peace an harmony once they relize all people were created in his image so what race am i im choctaw \cherokee a child of great spirit ......some sweet day we dance the honor dance ...............the ghost dance for the memories of our love ones who died for our Visionthey gave us was to be free..................

  • I learned about the Trail of Tears and my heart broke for the Cherokee and other Indian tribes, I know now the US government are the savages.

    I want to teach on an Indian reservation and also would like to visit one also.

    Any suggestions?

  • I hope you got a good grade for it! Thanks for the great job!

  • Its like the"deathmarch" in Budapest during the second worl war,when the jews were forced to walk and many died

  • Its called "Wish you were here" from the band "Blackmores Night"

  • :'(

  • People that say they did their homework and read what the was in the library, F%#K you and the horse you rode in on! And the guy that says that we followed the Bufflo around Thats a whole diiferent story you F#$%, being chased to different land apposed following buffalo, the fucking buffalo were killed off by the white man so the Indians would starve and die you retard... and further more the white man chased the indians to were there was no food!! So you get your facts strait F#%kers!!

  • I'm of Irish heritage and we were treated probably worse than slaves (at least they had value as their owners paid cash for them) and the Indians for whatever reason had a hard time assimilating in the white culture. All Europeans that came to America had to assimilate or else they were going nowhere and they and their children had to learn English or else they would not survive.

  • All Indians were Nomadic, lol. We WERE!!! So friggen get over it. Because the Buffalo wouldn't stay in one place. Where ever you moved to, IT's still was YOUR LAND, Get it?

  • @spiderboymarq1 The curse is upon the land and upon the people increasing daily. 50 million abortions that create a vaccum of souls that must be filled by 50 million crossing the borders from the south, the land of the Southern Ute or Aztec. Oh yes, there is a curse and it runs its course as we speak my friend. The white God is punishing the descendents of Abraham with the scourge of the black man and a blight in the land as crops fail and waters are polluted. Judgement is at hand.

  • It didn't end with Andrew Jackson, believe me. My 4th great grandmother was Saleechie Doublehead, daughter of Cherokee Indian Chief Doublehead. She survived the Trail of Tears and is buried in the Cherokee Nation, OK. But, she was buried there in the 1840's. In the early 1900's the Gov created the Guion Miller rolls & only accounted for living Cherokee in Oklahoma. Well, I can't be a member of the tribe there because they can't count her because she was of course dead. So screw OK Cherokee!

  • Well, the Native Americans didn't even HAVE an official written language (one of the key factors in deciding if some culture was a civilization) until it was pressed upon them to do so; however, the were truly a beautiful culture.

  • please do not refer to us as "indians" we prefer the term NATIVE AMERICANS, thank you.

  • Andrew Jackson came to the White House on a flood of popular support stemming from his time as a general of the US army fighting the British and Indians in the War of 1812 and after.

    It was also a time of brutal conflicts between both whites and Indians.

    That being said, the Trail of Tears is a sad chapter in US History.

    Good job using the art.

    The song, though, was kind of annoying.

  • If I were alive during that time I would have put a bullet in Andrew Jackson's fucking head.

  • i would 2

  • @coupleofbeers31 well you weren't and you didn't, but you are alive now and must continue to educate yourself and others. Indigenous people of the world have to come together to save ourselves and mother earth from this evil empire by any means nessasary!

  • INDIAN is not a good way to describe them my teacher would say the good way to call them was native American

  • And they keep the first inhabitants of America in reservations still, drown them with alcohol and put gambling halls on their remaining little dry lands. They keep them down. Some of my ancestors were Lakotas.

  • mine were the Cherokee

  • my great grandmother was on the trail of tears with her native american people

  • how long did she live?

    did she survive the journey?

  • @thunderhawk54 My heart goes out to your greatgrandmother for her strength and courage to go through the Trail of Tears.

  • My late wife's ancestor, George Catlin, lived with the Indians and wrote and painted pics of them. He took the US to task moving them and not keeping our word to them. This back about 1830. His words are in the book "The Letters of George Catlin and his family" A Chronicle of the American West by Marjorie Catlin Roehm.

  • I am touched of this vedio... I am a Nez Perce Nation... I know exactly what happened to our people... Though I was not there, yet i know their pains and hardship... I like the song "Wish You Were Here' it made me say, I wish I was there.... thanks dubletruble....

  • my ancestors went through this . this song means alot.

  • does anybody know what song this is? I would love to use it for a presentation I am doing on this subject. Good visuals and really really sad.

  • the song is called,'' wish you were here' by blackmores night.

  • thanks! i actually didn't watch the whole video and totally missed the ending credits.lol. and thats where it said it. Thanks again:-)

  • well I can forgive people no matter how big the crime is, how can god forgive you if you cant forgive others? You can choose to live in hatred or just move on, my people were burned alive in the Holocaust but Im not going to hate every German because of actions of a few radicals, I forgive and move on, Its no fun living in hatred....

  • "John Marshall has made his decision now let him enforce it!" Now in our day shouldn' t that be grounds for impeachment? Andrew Jackson, the war criminal

  • exactly!!!!!!!!!!!! just like alot of the present day presidents.

  • Me to:) cherokee,choctaw,cree and white:) and proud

  • dont you know how to forgive, i mean this stuff happened years ago, yeah its awful but dwelling in the past makes it impossible to move on and forgive.......

  • you can not forgive people who refuse to have the capacity to forgive anything OUTSIDE their intimate & bold attachments to their own selfishness/creed/disconnectio­n

    nature and reality will win out against these people in time but all humans are instruments and partially in league with nature and reality; karma can only exist in the human world and influence human society if karma is carried on even in a piece of a man's spirit and blood

    get it?

  • andrew jackson = george w bush

  • @cpisretartedmuch Bullshit! Jackson was a great warrior. George Bush never fought crap.

  • im a half bread

  • A. Jackson/G.W. Bush....the same. I'm half Cherokee and Irish. I take pride in my Cherokee heritage. I live in Nashville and I hope "The Hermitage" (AJ's home) burns down someday. A tornado almost took it out years ago....try again mother nature...try again!

  • im cherokee n italian

  • im a half breed as well. cherokee n irish. it just goes to show why i have a lingering detest towards all whites including my friends, i cant help it its simply me.

    as the time goes gradually something new will show nd tke what is the whites away from them and see how they feel.

  • Just beautiful video..

  • My great granmother was a "Trail of tears" Cherokee.

    We are one of the lucky ones. Study how many tribes were wiped out by "The White" Man Beast!!! It is truly 'The Beginning of the End'.

    I'm a half breed. I am proud to be Tsalagi n Irish.

    Wado for this presention...

  • You did such a great job on this .

  • that was the first HOLOCAUST

  • thnanks dixiebabie for sharend this important testimonianza

    5***********************++

  • Whats the name of the song

  • Wish You Were Here by Blackmore's Night.

  • @dubletruble

    Richie Blackmore formerly of Deep Purple.

  • Yup....here's something they will NEVER teach in school.

    Sick.

  • HOLOCAUST

  • Andrew Jackson is to President Bush as George Bush is to Adolf Hitler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My teacher showed us this video in class and i came looking for it cuz i liked the song

  • aw so sad! :'( The government is a shit! >:( may all those people lay in peace :'(

  • Thanks for this video. Very sad, but we should not forget the trail of tears and similar tragedies in the history of our world.

  • he is a shit

  • Beautifully done thank you for sharing

  • I only take slight comfort in knowing that Andrew Jackson hated the concept of paper money, so every bill with his face on it is another insult in his direction. Still though, he is preached as a hero. Why? Because he won a battle in Canada AFTER the War of 1812 was over. He also was the cause of the depression that followed his presidency. I like trees, but that old hickory's legacy should've been chopped down years ago.

  • this is a sad tribute

  • I like the song

  • So now the US is doing the same thing in Afghanistan? and Iraq? Correct, more modernly

  • I write indian killer across Jacksons forehead on the twenty dollar bills. My great great grandmother was pure Cherokee.

  • Good job and song u pick!!

  • Mate, thank you for this amazing stuff. Its too good. it brings tears to my eyes.too good

  • thank you =]

    *(This is for EmDog91)Well all I know now is that when Obama run this country..things will be better for everyone including the native americans.

  • Really Ditz,

    Obama works for the same filthy banking elites that Jackson did away with and he has no compassion or loyalty for anyone but his own group of globalist friends.

  • ick..that doesnt sound good =/

  • The statement of a pure racist.

  • how is that being racist?? I was just responding from whoever wrote to me about obama..no i dont believe it but it doesnt sound good if it was true..sorry i shouldve rephrased it.

  • When will the White People ever end their greedy thirst for power and land?

    Wado, for making this video. It makes me cry when I remember my ancestors.

    -Little Wolf Child

  • can you please tell me who sing thing this song??

  • Blackmore's Night- "Wish you were here"

  • im part cherokee this sad

  • Thank you to all that replied to my video. The History project that I did it for was about doing a video on any portion of history. I chose the one closest to my heart and my family. I traced back my heritage with the trail of tears. While everyone did their projects on war, I did mine on the aftermath of my heritage. When we learned about the trail of tears, it was only for 5 minutes. History doesn't like others to know their past mistakes.

  • I wish you had done "your homework". The Treaty of Removal was SIGNED by the affected tribes before President VAN BUREN ordered the forced removal! And, Jackson adopted and raised Lyncoya, a Creek boy orphaned in the Battle of Horsehoe Bend.

    Next time, get your facts straight.

  • ooo so 3 textbooks and some books from the library are wrong? Even though there was an actual law that forces the true statement. maybe you should have done your homework.

  • @BeauEvil How could we sign something that was forced upon us because of gold that was found on Indian land Jackson life was saved by a Cherokee and because of his greedy white mans way he ordered the removal, after the supreme court ruled against the removal of Cherokee people. so smoke that in your peace pipe

  • @greywolf545 AGAIN, Greymoron, Jackson did NOT, repeat, did NOT "order the removal"! Smoke THAT!

  • @BeauEvil: FYI - The process of cultural transformation (proposed by George Washington and Henry Knox) was gaining momentum,especially among the Cherokee & Choctaw. Andrew Jackson was first U.S. President to implement removal of Native Americans with the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. In 1831 the Choctaw were the first removed,they became the model for all other removals. After the Choctaw,the Seminole were removed in 1832,Creek in 1834,Chickasaw in 1837,finally the Cherokee in 1838

  • i wonder why native americans[[ any tribe]] never have the publicity like african- amercans did when the white man mistreated them so bad?? It breaks my heart i actually teared up and made me angry cause they never explain this in history class..only say it briefly then moved along..thats not right..native americans deserve much more than that.

    *I am full blooded cherokee and black....

  • Very moving,very sad

  • Serves those dirty mexicans right for crossing the ice bridge. GO BACK TO OKLAHOMA

  • STFU you ignorant fuck

  • the legacy "jacksonian democracy" left behind

  • I hate this... I'm not even a single bit Indian, but I'm on there side through and through. Even as a child I loved the Indians. Their way of life and respect for the nature were -and still is- amazing. If everyone thought like them we wouldn't be in this shit. I hate humans. Seriously. What kind of a stupid species are we?!

    I cry for the indians who died on Trail of Tears! It's heartbreaking... <//3

    I wish I was indian. Then I could be proud of my people.. Now I'm just proud of the indians <3

  • I too mourn for the Native American tribes who died on the Trail of Tears. The US government they were doing a favor but it was no favor but annihilation. Im ashamed sometimes being american because of our evil deeds to the Native Americans.

  • @Kathygrl08 This pales in comparison to what the Spanish did to the Native Americans. The British were no nicer to them.

    The French were really the only ones nice to them, but I bet even they weren't a model for how to act to indigenous people.

    There's nothing wrong with being American, it's the most succesful nation I've ever seen and evey moment of my life I wish I was American.

  • people like jackson are the reason REAL americans only count for like 1% of the population

  • Damn you Jackson

  • Lamento que yo no supiera la respuesta

  • Shame on you America.

    This was the start of the down fall of all of us.Thas has made me cry.

    When we learn?

  • I wept silently for these poor people...who were aslo my people as well as Black. I would like to say that Andrew Jackson was nothing short of Satan and his being honored of the $20 bill is a resounding slap on the face of all Native Americans. It's selfish fools like Jackson that makes me ashamed of this country.People want to boast about the Superpower known as America...but want to forget the horrible prices that were paid to make it so! Rest easy, my kinspeople. I shall always remember!!

  • I also wept, being white, I feel there are so many things, that can not be changed. The time is now to share the univeral message of love and compassion.

    Maybe something could be done to change the $20 bill...nothing is impossible,,,the Susan B. Antony coin read, In God We Trust, she was an atheist. You rarely see the coin in circulation. Shame on those who made this terrible dicision, but we are not all that way today.

  • Thank you for your response...I have a great-great-grandfather that was white as well. So, I guess you can say I am also your distant kinswoman. I know that all whites are not maniacal monsters, but Jackson will forever be a disgrace to this nation as well to the people that now inhabit it. Be forever blessed.

  • The whiteman ruined the world. Absolutely no regard for the earth or life.

  • This makes me sad for all the pain my Tribe the Creek had to go through. All those lives lost is just so heartbreaking.

  • ((I will admit though that Jackson off the twenty would be nice. It's like putting Hitler on the Euro...))

  • Excellent comparison between Jackson and Hitler.

    Good words, "Never forget, but learn to forgive. Look to today."

  • Like African Americans had been, Native Americans were seen as less than human.Throw in 'manifest destiny' and you have the forced relocation of people who had lived on that land since before the colonies were even thought of.Yeah, people still feel indignant about it all(being a throw-back to Cherokee blood myself, I sure do).We should never forget, but do not hold a grudge.That only continues the cycle of violence, and someone has to break it.Never forget, but learn to forgive.Look to today.

  • Very well said

  • The last comment is for Bati1307.

  • It is very sad in how the Native Americans were treated by these people. They were cruely abused, took advantage of them with no heart at all. Then now they feel very proud to be americans after they Stole this land in a very discusting way.Now they have the nerve to tell people from other countries "Go Back To Your Country".They should go back to the country their from,but they can't because now their mixed with English,Irish,French,etc.

  • it's been 170 years since over 2000 died we must not forget them

  • We must indeed never forget. Though it was closer to 4,000 to 5,000 that died on that Death March.

  • They will always be remembered in my heart,Damn, Jackson!!! Beautiful video for beautiful people. Damn, I'm proud of being native!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful Song

  • Thanks for the video. It put tears to my eyes remembering my ancestors all distreatment and torrer they had indorer. I am happy that we has people get to put therse videos on here and share our lifes and history. Because some many times the truth is never spooken about in the history books

  • I agree except for the cunt part....but they all should be defaced.

  • i was crying all day because it is just sweet. I love the trail of tears.

  • Andrew Jackson was a terrorist and should be struck from the 20 dollar bill. Take my land and then hand me paper money with his image, might as well slap my face and spit on me.

  • Another way? Such as totally disregarding a ruling by the United State Supreme Court.

    Despite this ruling in the favor of The Cherokee Nation, they were rounded up in concentration camps and sent out on what could only be described as an American Death March.

    They were never given another choice.

  • Pay Taxes? Serve in the state militia? 16,000 men, women and children?

    The Cherokee Nation won their case before the supreme court and were deemed a sovereign and separate nation with in the boarders of the United States.

    My ancestor' home was raffled to a Caucasian family whose descendants still own it to this day.

    He died on The Trail of Tears, the American Death March.

  • The whole point was to make more land available to the whits, you argument has no validity.

  • yes it was a death march, and let us not forget the kentucky childrens cherokee massacre of 1810 they say if you listen closely you can still hear their cries,we must teach our children the truth because our schools won't.

  • I had never heard of the "Kentucky Children's Massacre of 1810."

    I will research it.

    Thanks

  • hello my brother were you able to read up on the kentucky childrens cherokee massacre:( heart breaking,but the truth must be told.

  • He shouldn't have been deciding what kind of rules to set because they were putting all kind of fuckin rules in a country that wasn't theirs.They should of stayed in their country and then they had the right to put what ever fuckin rule they wanted. They were just a bunch of abusive assasins and theives.

  • True, many were, but you also must acknowledge that Jackson is the most to blame. John Marshall (the Chief Justice at the time) acknowledged in the case of the Cherokee Nation vrs. Georgia that the laws put on the Indians were unconstitutional since they were their own separate nation. Jackson, however, refused to enforce the law (the president's main job), saying 'John Marshall has made his decision; let him enforce it!'

  • Yeah, it was tragic. But when an apologist looks at history, you can't expect them to be rational. WMGS (White Man's Guilt Syndrome) is rampant in today's PC America. Be that as it may, Ritchie Blackmore and his wife are true artisans.

  • Unforgivabe mistake made by the united states. So very sad..makes me ashamed of my ancestors.

  • that was them not you:( you enderstand you are my sister:)

  • Only those guilty of genocide.

  • so washington should be taken off the quarter and the dollar bill Washington wanted to do the same but he never though he could do this if Washington knew he would have he despised Indians when they helped the British he wiped nations of them as punishment for treason no president was nice to the indians and you don't live in their world

  • No, I don't live in their world. I will never personally be subjected to the brutality wrought upon my ancestors and to Native Americans even to this day, but injustice is still injustice. A rose by any other name.

  • Native Americans were NOT afforded the rights that whites were given.

    Yes, there were Cherokee who became slave owners.

    There were Cherokee who sought to assimilate the white mans way of life thinking that they would be left alone.

    The only Cherokee who were not removed on the Trail of Tears were those who avoided capture by escaping into the mountains.

    They took men, women and children

    "Probably bribe the troops to leave"?

    That is absurd. Rationalizations and Excuses, that is all you have said.

  • u idiot what would u rather do take money or have to waste ur time with ppl who are resisting to be taken when u could just say u did and get money

  • Again, your statements make absolutly no sense or have any correlation with reality.

  • how it makes sense ur paying off the soldiers to go away this was the 1800's men weren't as diciplined back if u were a soldier and u were offered 100 dollars which was alot at the time which would u take

  • At the time of the Removal, most white folks considered ALL Indians as subhumans mimicking human behavior. Plantations were stolen from the owners and given to white settlers. Lawyers became prisoners, thrown into into concentration camps upon which Adolf Hitler would model the Nazi death camps. The only food they received were rotten meat, rancid lard, and worm-infested corn meal. Hundreds died of malnutrition, starvation, food poisoning, and other diseases before the Trail of Tears ever began.

  • This comment should have been listed as a response to Bati1307's asinine remarks!

  • yeah that is true even lincon hung tons of Native Americans. The thing that gets me is that fact the history of all of this is never talked about in history books. The truth of our Native History.

  • actually it is, but not prior to college. You have to seek out the information to get it. Although, there are advantages and disadvantages. I of course don't want my daughter knowing the brutal truth until she is of an appropriate age.

  • this is why we must teach our children the truth:(

  • Thank You! Your video was done with great respect on honor for those who died on what can be call The American Death March.

    My 4th great grandfather died on The Trail of Tears. Two of his sons and their families escaped the federal troops and his descendants live to this day in the Kentucky, Tennessee area and beyond.

    Though I have but a drop of Cherokee blood I am saddened at the history of America. Jackson's face should be struck from from the twenty dollar bill.

  • Agreed, with the Jackson Part.

  • me and my classmates are using this for our powerpoint =]
