The problem is today that "self truth" has become a defacto justification to not believe actual truth or proven fact. Basically if "they believe its true" aka "self truth" then it is truth or fact by default because not doing so would be "harmful", "disrespectful", "racist" or whatever other hype word these people want to use to avoid accountability or reality for their opinions and beliefs.

The sad part is the guy got 2k thumbs up for it and only one thumb down. Guess who that was I also got a kick out of how many people made comments saying thank you for a video about their Native American heritage but in their picture they look like Casper The Friendly Ghost or their name was about as Native America as mine. Must be that " I identify with being " thing.

Must be that " I identify with being " thing. My grandparents were dark skinned and spoke cree and I was raised in a metis village. But that's how it is isn't it, I'm a white guy when it comes to hand outs, but suddenly I'm native again when it's time to deal out the punishments Good thing it's up to other people to tell me who I am, otherwise, I might never know. Am I white? And I native? Not saying this was directed at me, but I'm a white skinned person, but I am also native. Has nothing to do with identity, just genetics, culture and location. Or so I thought anyway Just saying, some of those people might actually have native ancestors, and in Canada, we call em metis. Edit: TL;DR - Metis people can look quite white too.

just for informative reasons, in Victoria where i live you can be considered aboriginal if you identify as such and are accepted by a "tribe", zero actually ancestry needed, that being said one of my friends is of aboriginal descent and looks as anglo as i do,
think we are in a scary place in the world right now where people are trying to "correct" history, all good if new evidence comes to light through new technology, but simply because its my opinion isnt evidence its opinion and far too often lately is taken as fact, may have been dark skinned vikings, but doubtful they were in the majority. hell im sure there were lost of different hair/skin colors people are a pretty variable species even in close knit groups.

Custer's moment of death is unknown and unrecorded. There are only two facts known about it: 1. he died at the Little Bighorn and 2. He wasn't scalped Anything other than that is merely opinion or speculation. Considering that 1 out if 8 adults believe that the earth is flat, I don't have much faith in anybody doing scholarly research into any history whatsoever. It seems that whater somebody wants to be true, becomes true. Social media is the new "peer reviewed " journal. Just make a YouTube video about something and that becomes defacto "evidence"- especially if other YouTubers repeat it. WHAT! THE EARTHS NOT FLAT? lol probably the same people who think Australia doesn't exist and were all "paid actors"

I even spray painted my name on the dome.

You need the DNA line in Canada I think, some genealogical proof. There are people who aren't actually native or metis who manage to get status, but there is also a lot of Anglo looking metis people with entirely European names. For the record, I agree with the sentiment of the thread mostly. When I watch a show about vikings, I wanna see it as historically accurate as it can get, unless the changes add to the story telling somehow. That's one of the things that has me stoked on northmen is that is seems a lot more historically based than most viking media that have come before it
