00:00The Americas, crossing the Atlantic, here are the Americas
00:06Once upon a time, there were the Americas; that's the story I'm going to tell you.
00:12From Cyprus to the Pacific, ancient people began to walk
00:19They carved oceans, they crossed continents
00:26Pursuing their dreams of freedom
00:33The adventure was sometimes dramatic, often it was the end of the heroes
00:40It's not easy, but it's magical to make a brand new, beautiful watch
00:47They all took up the torch, going further, going higher
00:53And their dream of their reality
01:00Here we are now, the Americas, just as you imagined them.
01:07It's up to you to create this fantastic world, the one we've all dreamed of one day.
01:13May everything work together, to reach the end of destiny.
01:21On this earth without hope
01:27A land of brotherhood
01:37With Champlain, we saw the foundations laid for what could have become a vast French empire.
01:42Then, we saw the development of the English core of what would become the vast territory of the United States.
01:49Despite the raids by their conquistadors who ventured quite far
01:52The Spanish only managed to retain a small portion of this territory
01:57You've talked to us about the French, the English, the Spanish, and so little about the Indians.
02:00Yes
02:01Let us not forget that they were the first inhabitants of this territory.
02:06Oh yes, maestro, tell us about the Indians.
02:09What, the Indians? Anyway, what's the point, huh?
02:12I mean, what's the point?
02:14Since everyone agrees, I will now tell you what life was like for Native Americans.
02:19in this 17th century
02:21In the southwest, near Spanish territories, lived the Pueblo Indians.
02:40Our ears of corn were stolen, that's another trick by the Apaches.
02:48Wait
02:53Well aimed
02:58He would do better to cultivate the land instead of plundering us.
03:03And who would we have some fun with if we didn't have the Apaches, huh?
03:13A moment
03:14Hola, amigos
03:17Hey, hombre, ¿tienes oro?
03:29Oh, the lightning, their staff spits, the lightning
03:55Ha, ha, ha, ha!
03:57Oh, oh, oh, oh!
04:21Let go of me! Help! Help! Help!
04:24Let me go! No! They're taking me away!
04:26Help! Help!
04:29Mine!
04:31Oh no! Mine!
04:35Come on !
04:36Help!
04:38But what are you doing, Plantera?
04:41Catch me on the tune, we have to pollute them!
04:44Billiards! Billiards!
04:46They cut through the cornfields.
04:52We're not separated!
04:54Hello ?
05:36You see, it's better to be a free Apache than a pueblo enslaved by white people.
05:41So stay with us.
05:47We thought we could be at peace with the Apaches where our child was born, but we had to leave.
05:52For several years, we have been migrating from one country to another.
05:54We are very tired.
05:58Yes, my children, I understand.
06:00You have passed through plains, valleys, and mountains.
06:03You've crossed an entire continent.
06:05From sunset to sunrise.
06:09I didn't separate them.
06:16Come closer so that I may make you Powatan like us.
06:18Here, you will have nothing to fear from the Spanish.
06:20You will be safe.
06:25Nearby, there is an English village.
06:27Men who were also dressed up, but not always very nice.
06:29When you are a little rested, I will take you to see our great king Powatan.
06:33He is a wise man.
06:34He reigns over two hundred villages like ours.
06:41And you, smoke me and I'll give you some of that.
06:58So take some of your white medicine.
07:01That will calm you down.
07:10Come, I'll show you the tobacco.
07:23Upon their arrival in our country, we were generous towards the men who were dressed.
07:27We rescued them.
07:28They were miserable and they were starving to death.
07:31But little by little, they grew stronger.
07:33They have formidable weapons today.
07:35And nature is bad.
07:37They prefer to plunder our reserves rather than work.
07:41To take ownership of our land rather than clearing other lands.
07:45If they are as bad as you say, father, why don't you destroy them?
07:49You are powerful.
07:50You have many warriors.
07:52We, Powata, are drowning out violence.
07:55And before using it, we'll first try the trick.
07:59Do you know Captain Smith?
08:02Oh yes, father.
08:03I think he's quite a handsome man.
08:06So listen to me carefully, Pocahontas.
08:08Here's what you're going to do.
08:14Every day, white people steal more of our land.
08:17We must capture them alive at all costs.
08:20Ahead !
08:43John Smith, leader of the white men, you and your brothers have plundered us once again, and we
08:47we no longer trust.
08:49You will be put to death as an example.
08:51But, but, but listen, I know...
08:53No, leave it...
08:54Oh !
08:56No !
09:00Stop!
09:03Great and revered chief, I, your daughter Pocahontas, plead for this man's pardon.
09:09But my child, he has betrayed our trust, he must die.
09:12So, I want to die too.
09:16Can you promise me that in the future, this man will not deceive us again?
09:21Oh yes father, I swear on my life.
09:28Okay, we'll let him be released.
09:31Oh thank you!
09:32Do I have your word?
09:34Yes.
09:45The truce will be short-lived because it is not always the elite of its population that England
09:49sends to its new territories in America.
10:00It was a harsh time for the settlers; there was famine.
10:03So much so that John Smith ends up forgetting his good resolutions.
10:14Oh !
10:16Opecan Canoo will never forget this affront.
10:22The colonists have just made a mortal enemy of him.
10:26They will pay a very high price for it.
10:29John Smith, the leader of the colonists, has returned to England.
10:33They shamelessly seize lands belonging to Native Americans while reducing their free and proud men to
10:39the state of slavery.
10:40Come on, come on, faster you lazybones!
10:42Get a grip, for goodness' sake! Are you hot?
10:49Why are there two of you here?
10:55I'm just going to give a tiny little pick-me-up.
10:58I have a feeling you'll soon need a pick-me-up too.
11:02Ah good ?
11:10Your turn to drink!
11:18Have a good trip !
11:23The great chief Powatan is dead.
11:25His brother Opecan Canoo succeeded him as leader of his people.
11:30And this March 22nd, 1622 will be a tragic morning.
11:56347 white people will lose their lives at James River.
12:00The infernal cycle of violence begins.
12:03Anything goes.
12:04The new governor, Francis Ouillat, is a clever one.
12:08He invited Opecan Canoo and its leaders.
12:11He invited them to talks, guaranteeing their safety.
13:15The war against the Powhatan Indians would thus last 14 years.
13:19But Opekan Kanu will have the patience to wait for his revenge for 22 years.
13:24And in 1644, he was a hundred years old.
13:27My beloved sons, the hour of battle has struck.
13:30Tomorrow, at dawn, we will attack Jamstown.
13:36Ah!
13:37Ah!
13:39Oh, I'm sorry, but I can't...
13:41No, no, I can't do that.
13:43Forgive me.
13:46News of the Indian victory at Jamstown spread far and wide.
13:54Ten years later.
13:58We are now a few hundred kilometers further north.
14:02Among the War Indians.
14:10No, don't worry, Swedes are decent white people.
14:28What are these little yellow circles?
14:30You see, this wind of apples is our currency.
14:33It's a long and difficult process.
14:34And that's the white people's perspective.
14:36It needs to be easier to do.
14:37Ah good ?
14:38Watch out, here comes an Iroquois.
14:49But I don't understand, Dad.
14:51You gave him your free pass and in return, he gave you nothing.
14:54In exchange, he leaves us in peace.
14:57The Iroquois are powerful warriors.
14:59Later, this would be called racketeering, but at the time of our story, that word had not yet been used.
15:04was invented.
15:04Why aren't we Iroquois, huh, Dad?
15:081654.
15:10The Swedes buy Delaware and some other regions from the Indians in exchange for rifles and ammunition.
15:23But they will only keep their new acquisitions for one year.
15:27Well done, Dad!
15:29Hooray!
15:37Okay, but next time you'll have to give me guns.
15:43Or pots.
15:45But why?
15:47The Dutch are giving us a rifle for ten pots.
15:50They drove out the Swedes.
15:51And the Vampoun, they bring them in large quantities from their home.
15:55The Dutch are not nice, except to us Iranians, who are their allies.
16:01I say, Dad.
16:02What do you want?
16:03Why aren't we Iroquois?
16:09What do we do, Dad?
16:11Let's go.
16:18Oscar! Oscar!
16:19Shh!
16:20Oscar!
16:21Stop there.
16:26It's there.
16:29Oscar!
16:31Oscar! Oscar, help me!
16:53Help me, I don't know where I am anymore.
16:55Which tribe are you from?
16:57I am a good oxyroquois.
17:03You and your brothers are not among our friends, but stay with us anyway until
17:07that you find them.
17:13No, wait, I'm putting my loafers on backwards.
17:18That way, nobody knows where we're going.
17:30We Iroquois are very strong.
17:40What are you doing on Iroquois territory?
17:43And I am Iroquois.
17:44We'll find out eventually.
17:45They are Delawares.
17:47They saved my life and were very kind to me.
17:51Don't stay here.
17:52The English and the Dutch pay us a good price for your scalps.
18:03Tell me, Dad, why aren't we Iroquois?
18:12What is he holding in his hands? A weapon?
18:15In my opinion, it's more like a scalpel.
18:17No, it's like our feathers.
18:22We can find out what you're doing here.
18:24We've been traveling along the sea for ages.
18:26Come with me. I am a vampanoad.
18:28I'm going to take you to see our King Philippe.
18:30I am Sassamon, his English interpreter. Come.
18:33Welcome to our home.
18:35By welcoming you, we win brave hearts.
18:38Major events are on the horizon.
18:40Come, I will introduce you to all the men of our tribe.
18:43The number of white people is increasing.
18:45Increasingly armed and increasingly greedy.
18:48Our only chance of survival is to unite.
18:50and to fight them on equal terms.
18:52And summoned to Plymouth by the Puritan leaders,
18:55Philippe realizes that his interpreter is betraying him.
18:57White people want to impose unacceptable conditions on him.
19:03I'll let you sign.
19:04Under duress, Philippe must agree to deliver
19:06all the firearms that the tribe possesses.
19:10Most of the leaders will refuse to comply.
19:20Shortly afterwards, Sassamon, the interpreter, was found dead.
19:23And this will be the beginning of an endless cycle of violence.
19:30These are our cultures.
19:34Be careful.
19:48Subtitling by Radio-Canada
19:58Subtitling by Radio-Canada
20:10Your governor wants to see me, to parley.
20:12He is a subject of the King of England,
20:14but I refuse to deal with any of these subjects.
20:16I want to deal directly with the king, my equal, my brother.
20:25Come on !
20:43Come on! Excuse me!
20:46Let's go!
20:49Eh ?
20:50Where is it? Where is it?
20:52Where is it?
20:52Where is it?
20:56Where will the tides circulate?
20:58And to build a fort in this way,
21:00Not that, it would have its own.
21:01Ah yes, I have a good idea.
21:03We'll finally be rid of it forever.
21:12On the attack!
21:18We have achieved many victories.
21:21Tonight, we're going to have a big party.
21:32Thank God for bringing them all together here.
21:38Only a few rare Algonquin survivors were able to escape that night.
21:42The English pay us a very high price for Algonquin scalps.
21:52You're going to end up suffocating me if you squeeze that hard.
21:54What do you want? We Iroquois are the strongest.
21:59Hey, why couldn't I be an Iroquois?
22:06They are Moicans, foreigners. War strengthens the body and mind of our young people.
22:12What are you going to do with all these people?
22:13The women and children will be integrated into our tribe.
22:18And what are you going to do with the men?
22:20Well, you know, it depends. They'll go through some tough times and then maybe they'll be adopted by the
22:25tribe.
22:28Or they will be put to death, it depends.
22:31Look, the great council of the tribes of the five nations will soon meet.
22:41Our very great and very powerful country, France, is offended by all wars.
22:46That the Iroquois people are waging against friendly tribes.
22:50Besides, you're really hindering our fur trade. Do you hear that?
22:54If you agree to live in peace with us, we will reward you.
22:58If you refuse to make peace, we will use our new weapons and our reprisals will be terrible!
23:11You, with your pale faces, have flowery words, but your speech lasts only a few moons.
23:18We are on our own territory and we have all formed an alliance.
23:22If your warriors come to dig up the hatchet and cut down the tree of peace,
23:26The powerful Iroquois nation will be able to defend itself.
23:43No, no, stop! Only medicine men, members of society and wearing false faces, have the right to
23:48to do that.
23:51Our tribes love to fight, that's true.
23:53But for ages, the pale faces have been taking advantage of this to arm us against each other, for their own gain.
23:58interest.
23:59The first English could never have survived without the help of the Powhatans to James Stone.
24:04They drove out and exterminated the Powhatans.
24:08They did the same with King Philip's Wampanoag.
24:11And yet, the Puritans, so greedy, would all have starved to death without the help of these tribes.
24:22They then drove out the Mohicans, their loyal allies, and then they exterminated the Delaware.
24:27And so many others. Why are they so disloyal? Why?
24:32Tell me.
24:34But yet, they are men just like us.
24:36They were men just like us.
24:39They are all greedy and there's nothing we can do about it.
24:41Some steal our furs, others our hunting grounds, our lands.
24:46Men like us.
24:53They wanted to see if an Indian child could swim by instinct.
25:02Their royalty?
25:04A short time ago, the French governor of our cities invited sixty of our brave men to a banquet.
25:12To better surprise them.
25:18That's why we need to be not only the strongest, but also the smartest.
25:22Let us use the rivalry that exists between white people while avoiding falling into their traps.
25:28Are all white men really like that?
25:31It seems that in Pennsylvania, a white man named William Penn is showing loyalty and fairness towards the Indian tribes.
25:40How long will this last?
25:42I no longer trust white people.
25:45He reminds me of someone, that old Indian man, doesn't he you?
25:48In any case, he was not lacking in wisdom, because a few decades later,
25:52William Penn's own son will not hesitate to use any means to dispossess the Indians of
25:57Pennsylvania.
25:58And his enterprise succeeded so well that he stole all their land.
26:01and these were driven westward, ever westward.
