Washita Massacre: Correcting Historical Revisionism

[windstorm1000]

Certainly one of the blackets chapters in U.S. Army relations with Native People.  Treachery and outright brutality. Chivington--a pig, of course. But in fairness he was hero at Glorieta Pass in NM--the 'Gettysburg' of the West.

Well, Custer got his come uppance at Little Big Horn didn't he.

I went out to the Washita Battlefield yesterday, and as I walked closer to the Washita River, "something" touched my arm, from behind. Custer and his soldiers murdered Black Kettle, his wife, family and his people. I shall return November 29th to leave prayer flags and do a corn pollen blessing to Black Kettle and his people.

@rickert02 Good. Thank you. I know it went well.

Study the history of what really happened. Do not get caught up in the politics of today.

Hahahaha!!

This doesn't even come close to exposing the horror of that disgusting day. Between this and Sand Creek, my heart breaks so sharply. This was their 9/11 with no way to strike back.

Indeed it doesn't. A huge problem with getting people to understand, is the lack of photographs. There a few and there are some drawings (referring to the Spanish Conquest/Genocide). I'm not counting the one from the Sand Creek Massacre, it doesn't show what happened, only the Bloody 3rd attacking. There's a reason the Bloody 3rd took the bones back to Washington to hide them and it worked. Until I think 1999, the location of the Sand Creek Massacre was lost, which is why the Historical site ...

...at the Washita Massacre is ahead of the one at the Sand Creek Massacre. I was almost able to go there last summer, don't think the road signs were up yet. Pathetic, isn't it?

Congrats! You raised some pretty good points. I strongly suggest posting this as a video response to Custerdivision's videos in which he portrays the Cheyennes as raping bloodthirsty terrorists and makes Black Kettle into an Osama Bin Ladn of the Plains. It would be desirable that those people who actually click on those videos get a chance to see yours as well, especially since Custerdivision never allows commenting on any of his tendentious videos.

Very well done video. The history of the invasion of the Native Peoples lands is truly very sad and Brutal! Shameful what so called Christians did! Oh btw the music was very good too!
