Washakie - Last Chief of the Eastern Shoshone

I’m a quarter eastern Shoshone and a quarter Arapaho. This was super cool to watch. My family lives in crow heart Wyoming ❤

A man of honor, faith and wisdom. A great American.

Very much enjoyed this program.I am very proud of my quarter of Cherokee blood that runs through my viens.God bless all our proud red brothers and sisters.

Our Great Chief! Much Honor, Respect, and Gratitude for him, our Leader and Teacher. The Tribe will always miss Chief Washakie!!! Prayers and Smoke! OOS! (AMEN!)

Great program. I used to live in Big Piney Wyoming with my Grandfather, we looked to the east and the Wind River mountains are all anyone could see. Stunningly beautiful. I miss those days and my grandfather. RIP Washakee

My g-g-uncle, George Morris, a Welsh/Menominee/French Canadian fur trader among the Shoshone on the Popo-agie, knew Washakie and spoke highly of his wisdom in his journel.

Great piece on the Shoshone and Chief Washakie. My father was a building contractor in Casper, and had hired a Shoshone, Gordon Whitting. Both him and his wife retired south to Arizona in the late 60's. I remember his wife had made my father an Indian beaded belt, before they left for Arizona.

Washakie’ Along with Chief Joseph’ and few other Notable Chiefs were true Spiritual Leaders. Recognizing the Creator. Always Strong and Brave in Battle, but Forging peace when possible. My Last Custom Acoustic Guitar Build was Named after this Great Warrior and Human Being. The Lable’ inside Proudly States—The ‘Washakie’

Thanks for the tribute to this beautiful and wise brother. Learned a lot. Thanks

What a GREAT, respectful, intelligent thinking man ! If only all could be that respectful and caring. The chief was buried with full military honors, that alone speaks volumes.

What a beautiful soul, such an honorable, noble man RIP

My grandfather took a building off of Fort Laramie before it was a National Monument. The family lived on Horse Creek.

SHOSHONE PEOPLE ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. I think all American natives people are great people...I am only 5 % not much. Could an Indian spirit be inside a person from the past? In 1976, I visited the west with my family when I was 16. I felt like I been here before.... It was very interesting about Washakie peoples...and Shoshone...won' to tanka...to all. thank you...I have relatives are full blood native American.

A amazing man and leader, right to the end when he takes his last breath.

I would love to go there and feel this man’s spirit. I know that sounds crazy but I feel things deeply . My Grandmother was half Seminole

You can see the great wisdom, goodness and rye humor in his wonderful face. What an incredible leader, and honorable man he was. I wish I could have known him. Thank you Wyoming PBS for making this documentary about Washakie a true hero to his people. A man all humanity can look up to as the very type of leadership missing in our present day political parties of inept, greedy, corrupt, weak and compromised criminals in power in our States, Washington, media, Wall Street and mega-corporations. None of these pathetic fools could stand-up next to this great man.

My grandfather did the carving of Washakie for the Thermopolis hot springs.

My Great Grandfather Chief Piapot (1816-1908) was the last Great War Chief, a Medicine man and Treaty signatory of the Plains Cree. He too fought the Blackfoot. Many great deeds should remembered....Here's one people might relate too.....After Custer was massacred, Sitting Bull went to him for refuge with the cavalry hot on his heels. The Canadian Mounted Police told them to leave Canada. I am positive Washakie and my GGrdfather knew each other. Hiy Hiy

If anyone had a just right to complain about mistreatment by the government, it is the Native American tribes. Live in peace and trust the word of the honest heart.

what an awesome man. he seemed a true leader thinking of only the welfare of those he loved.these kinds of men are missed today
