  • Entertaining videos, and I like the basic message, but some of the assertions are questionable. For example, William J. Bennetta claims that Chief Seattle did not make that speech and the evidence for Roman conquest or oppression of Ireland is scant to nonexistent.

  • I never said the Roman's invaded or conquered Ireland. They invaded Celtic Britain but the impact of their occupation of Celtic territory certainly had an effect on Ireland. Native people continue to attribute these words to Chief Seattle and that is good enough for me. The words certainly reflect a common philosophy among indigenous people around the globe.

  • Nice 1 for the nudge TOC.....looks like an interesting channel.

  • All this fighting over the Roman,s and King henry VIII

  • Interestingly, some scientists have found a genetic link between the Irish and Algonquin Indians via common ancestors in Central Asia. So it's not surprising that they have similar cultures, including such things as the shamanic/bodhran frame drum and strong connection to nature.

  • Brilliant! 5 stars

  • Free Leonard Peltier!!
