Red Tomahawk, Sitting Bull's Assassin

[wheelzwheela]

Wow.. there is more information and more UNBIAS information here than in most documentaries that only paint Whites as evil, bloodthirsty demons. Very informative thanks!

[jagerfaust2009]

WOW

How interesting was that!!!!

Until now I would never have known this history of Red Tomahawk....

My only understanding was a 'betrayal' through watching many documentaries of Sitting Bull and Indians etc. None of what is presented here have I ever seen or been told about, from the 'other side of the coin' so to speak.

This was done very well. thanks...

jager.....

On August, 5, 1873 in Nebraska near the Republican river 1,000 to 1,500 Lakota Sioux warriors attacked a Pawnee Indian Buffalo hunting party numbering between 400 and 700 people many of which were women and children.

In the ensuing rout somewhere between 70 and 120 Pawnees were killed mostly women and children.

In 1710, the Sioux annihilated the Wicosawan, an American Indian tribe that no longer exists on the Great Plains. This info is found in the John K. Bear Winter Count. The Bear Winter Count was published in the Plains Anthropologist Memoir 16, in 1976, by James A. Howard, an ethnohistorian.

HERE'S HOW the sioux robbed the black hills now they bellyache about usa doing same to them as they did to other indian tribes Now usa gave them money that has grown to be worth 1,000,000,000

American Indians have inhabited the area since at least 7000 BC The Arikara arrived by 1500 AD, followed by the Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa and Pawnee. The Lakota arrived from Minnesota in the eighteenth century and drove out the other tribes, claiming the land, which they called HeSapa, for themselves

I removed some of your comments because of your explicit language. Please keep it civil and courteous.

i hate that sick guy why would he kill part of my genaration

[nokiannie]

This is a great way to tell people the truth about the native Americans .America belongs to them I just wish the usa would treat the natives with respect for the great warriors they are Even today senitor mcain is trying to take the land that they have left IM am glad the truth is finally being told instead of in the cowboy films where the indians are always the bad guys They .since i have got to the natives from az ive realy got to them for the kind friendly folkes they are

[isnawica]

This is very good information. However, I think part of the change in the mentality in Red Tomahawk is largely negative. This type of shift is observed among serveral people as I have noticed, and I believe it is in part linked to the current unhealthy state of affairs. Red Tomahawk has not contributed to the improvement of Lakota society and will not be remembered as a hero.

[wolfgang911]

yep right : the one who killed sitting bull, not really a hero no. more like a judas. but hey even today lakotas are so divided and this video is clearly linked to the current unhealthy state of affairs as you say.

[FortAbrahamLincoln]

Wolfgang911, Isnawica works in some capacity for the Indian Health Service, and I respect what he's done for my people, and he speaks from experience working directly with Indian people - specifically with concerns relating to air quality.

Generally, I'd just move on at this point, but I feel compelled to ask you in regards to your comment here...what experience and first hand knowledge do you have working with Indians and healthcare to agree with Isnawica?

[FortAbrahamLincoln]

Second part:

Isnawica and I have corresponded briefly, and have come to a cordial understanding about the other's perspective.

I must respectfully disagree about Red Tomahawk not being a hero. He did the best he could in the times he lived in. He changed when he got older, and never spoke an ill word against Sitting Bull, but acknowledged his responsibility in his death. He was a warrior, a police officer, a respected councilman, and an elder...all things we respect.

awesome work thank you for sharing a part of history with us

Banning a dance??? would a dance not be protected by the 1st ammendment??? did it actually exsist back then?? .God bless America!

[FortAbrahamLincoln]

The U.S. of A. could certainly ban native dances and/or other celebrations because Native Americans were not citizens of the states. Citizenship didn't happen until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924; the right for Native Americans to practice their indigenous religious practices wasn't protected and guaranteed until the Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978. Thanks for watching! Subscribe and tell others!

[nixart7]

Thanks for the info! (FAL)....THIS DOCUMENTARY WAS ONE OF THE BEST I,VE SEEN..Certainly the most heartbreaking....If the us gov would hand back the black hills...it wouldnt mend their heartbreak i'm sure...but it would cerainly be a step towards justice.....but we will never see the likes of the Indians-life who were native to those lands again.

[wolfgang911]

Great to learn the profile of Sittings Bull killer is honored here.

Great men are rare. Their words, actions and & charism remain intact through the ages. One of SB last words, after the signing away of the big sioux reservation in 1889 :

"Indians? there are no indians except for me."

Red Tomahawk and all the BIA officers would have been executed in Holland, as you can compare them to NSB colloborators with the germans in 1945. Just depends who wins a war.

The sioux what a sad story.

[HotChipmunks]
