Bonus Video: When William Penn came to Pennsylvania, he and other Quakers had a unique approach when it came to Native Americans.
But as Quaker painter Adrian Martinez discovered when researching for his project “Where Two Worlds Meet“, despite their peaceful approach,
the Quakers didn't always have the best intentions in mind for the American Indians.
No weapns,
nothing to sell or buy.
No prostellising.
Wan't to know about them.
treating them with respect. = having a curiosity about them.
Who are you?

I’m finding this series of videos very interesting... I identify with more and more in each video... I think I’ve always been a Quaker deep down...

Two compliments:
For this remarkably educational QuakerSpeak video series. I am a sometime attender in Wooster, Ohio.
And THANK YOU for so effectively holding the two sides, white interest and native disenfranchisement, in tension. The speaker didn’t go into detail, but if folks watching and reading are interested in more history, research the Walking Purchase.

Thank you so much. I think you defined it so beautifully with 'When two worlds meet'. Not only two different worlds but our interior worlds. For you Native Americans and Quakerism, for me Haiku and Quakerism. Well done.

Fully aware. Hella long memory, especially when religions are involved. Fancy that.

The Jesuit reduction in and around Paraguay is something you should consider as something similar and longer lasting, though it was eventually destroyed by the rich and powerful.

For the most part yes but William Pen was different he did not kill any Native Americans.

People including the native American Indians conquered other tribes and nations. They were not exactly civilized themselves.

The Native Americans were problematics persons and they fought with many other people becuase they feel very stressed with the civil war and they are the people who consist one of the more than five hundred (500) distinguished tribes that still endure as sovereign states with the United States' present geographical boundaries, and the Quakers were pacific persons and they live civilized all the time and the enjoy the life and were kind with the other people and they help them too, they teach the other people to read the bible and they always were a servicial too.

You are barking up so many misconceptions. We have sovereign nations and we honored the sovereignty of other tribes. We didn't fight that often, as we had ceremonial games we played in place of fighting such as Kabutcha Toli' and other games. Please stop.
