1
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Another Robberty Callahan's story of historic Indian trails old.

2
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 2>By the Old kaffir.

3
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 3>Well Post.

4
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 1>The present state of Minnesota was an Indian territory in

5
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>eighteen forty nine.

6
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 3>Two years later, however.

7
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Under promise of protection, the Indians were induced to sign

8
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a treaty by which they gave the government thirty million

9
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>atres of Fieod and Polis. Immediately, white people began moving in,

10
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>clearing land and building homes against the wishes of the Indians.

11
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>One ninety year later, new settlers app ear. A few Indians,

12
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>including Little Crow, the renowned high chief of that nation,

13
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>had attended the log made church where they went to

14
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 1>hear Robert Bob Williams. And now as the service concludes,

15
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>we see the members of the church filing out the

16
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>front door, and we hear the old origin.

17
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>I can't understand what little Klow was doing here. I

18
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>think the chief is about to get religion. Religion.

19
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>He that darling is up.

20
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>For some mister Well.

21
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>He suddenly gave mister Mike an awful look.

22
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, it does seem kind of strange.

23
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 4>Little Crow has been in peace with everybody around here,

24
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 4>but he don't look the same to day.

25
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 5>I have a feeling old mouth.

26
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 3>That shock trader made little Crow mad about something.

27
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, what did you do? The darling and brought of

28
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>people all that's your country. But remember, mister harn, the

29
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>government offered the finish the Indians food and.

30
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Clothing when they needed this country to white people.

31
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, although no Mark didn't give that red double any

32
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>food enough.

33
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Little Cloe is shaking hands with the preacher. He was

34
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of strange, folks. Uh.

35
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Little Crow was tired in a black frock coat, white

36
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 1>color and dark crevat. His deep dark eyes and long

37
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>black braids were like ebony. As he went forward, shook hands,

38
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>complimented the minister, then turned and stowed out. Mounting his horse,

39
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 1>he rode away. But the next day we find the

40
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Indian chief ending marriage trading post near the Indian Agency.

41
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 1>I am, I am little Crow, chief of my tribe.

42
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 3>How are you? Huh? No? Good?

43
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Well? Why are you watch this time?

44
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Why? People hungry?

45
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Well? What about it?

46
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:39.000
<v Speaker 3>No? A winter soon comes. My people cold hungry.

47
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 5>We have no clothing for the Indians, and what grosses

48
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 5>we have, we're using them for our soldiers.

49
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.319
<v Speaker 3>But men do the treaty, say my people get me

50
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 3>bread blankets.

51
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.240
<v Speaker 2>How do you know what the treaty said?

52
00:04:54.480 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 3>It is ten years old, Indian, never forget my people hungry?

53
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and our soldiers down south feel the same way.

54
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 3>But white pey Indian, no make sill, lord.

55
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>It's not your fight. And what's more, how did you

56
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>live before soldiers came out here.

57
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>To protect your people? Protect them? My people, h White

58

00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they go out and find a buffalo? He he's kilo

60
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>buffalo and laugh My people hungry?

61
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, if the red devils are hungry, let them eat grass.

62
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>You understand grass. Grass is good enough for an engine.

63
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 2>Now get out of her and stay out.

64
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Eat the grass you make him?

65
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 1>My people eat grass?

66
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 2>How can you be so cruel? I've got no use

67
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 2>for these lazy red devil Indians. But they're hungry and

68
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>they have a heartened.

69
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 5>Food to Nobody asked you to tell me how to

70
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 5>run the store. If you are such an Indian lover,

71
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 5>go feed the red doubles yourself. They don't get a

72
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 5>drive ban from me. Oh you're terrible.

73
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm afraid you're going to make trouble for the settlers.

74
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, folks, that same night in marriage trading post,

75
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>four white farmers and their families, Saturday birthdays, Hapaday Wolf

76
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.519
<v Speaker 1>enjoying a turkey feat. And of course I didn't think

77
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 1>much about what might happen, what would happen?

78
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 5>Well, it's come out, not not look about.

79
00:07:31.480 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh football, football, my friends.

80
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Was the night of fire, eating arrows and flashing tomahawks.

81
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Marie was tortured, dropped in his store, his mouth stuffed

82
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 1>with dead grass, forty one arrows in his body.

83
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Government warehouses.

84
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I got it.

85
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Over two hundred white settlers near big Stone Lake, one

86
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred Brown County.

87
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.639
<v Speaker 2>And Oval, seven hundred iron men were dead. Then Colonel

88
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Sibley took command.

89
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 3>But as one thousand.

90
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Soldiers emerged from Fort Ridgley, Deep Little Crow aslided, big

91
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>white pony and deject and fluttering thousand buckskins, rode right

92
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:55.559
<v Speaker 1>up to the front gate of the fort. One hundred

93
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 1>shots did not cut that Indian down, and Little Cow

94
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 1>carried on a plan that left the horrible scene of

95
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>cripple dead and dying on every Indian term was let

96
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 1>them eat glass. Every government man in Minnesota was gone

97
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>into the conflict. Three hundred Indians of Cot tried and

98
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>condemned to death, but President Lincoln commuted the death sentence

99
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>for Minny. Then on December the twenty eighth, that man Cato, Minnesota.

100
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Thirty nine Indians, tied with chain and card, a white

101
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.639
<v Speaker 1>coal cap on each man's head, braving the trigger of death,

102
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>shanded and joked with each other. One half breed who

103
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>had been given us cigars puff he laughed. Then he said,

104
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>we were cheated, rob hungry, Go ahead, cut them off.

105
00:09:43.480 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>We're ready to heat our god ho. When Major Brown

106
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 1>did cut the rope, two women painted a scaffold tall

107
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and hadn't know that one who platform surrounded by a

108
00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Jewish heaping crowd. Thirty nine Indians went down at the

109
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 1>same moment, but willing crow was still at large.

110
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Your leader. However, a tottering young boy.

111
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Was found and brought to the army for it or

112
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>in the presence of the lieutenant, the captain and his daughter,

113
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 1>we find a huge scene.

114
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Who I then, boy, Captain?

115
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Where did you find him? Up in the wood? Sir?

<v Speaker 1>Child?
