Broken Treaties: full documentary

For thousands of years, more than 60 Native American tribes lived in Oregon's diverse environmental regions. At least 18 languages were spoken across hundreds of villages. 

This civilizational fabric became unraveled in just a few short decades upon contact with white settlers in the 19th century. 

In this ""Oregon Experience"" documentary, Native Oregonians reflect on what has been lost since and what's next for their tribes. Subscribe to our channel for new OPB videos every week: https://www.youtube.com/opb?sub_confi...

Chief Crazy Horse

  

Chief Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse was a Lakota war leader of the Oglala band in the 19th century. He took up arms against the United States federal government to fight against encroachment by white American settlers on Native American territory and to preserve the traditional way of life of the Lakota people. 

His participation in several famous battles of the Black Hills War on the northern Great Plains, among them the Fetterman Fight in 1866 in which he acted as a decoy and the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 in which he led a war party to victory, earned him great respect from both his enemies and his own people.
