Like a syllabus for a college course! Thanks for all that you do. It is good to find someone who embraces the idea that some "history," given to us by residents of any country can be nothing more than myth and wife's tales of a morphed image of a greater founding culture. How many of those interviewed after the fall of the place we call Mexico were liars? Is it hard to imagine that they may have laughed their collective fannies off once they were alone at the end of the day? Why would they not mislead those who had destroyed their peoples? Like the myth of the Seven Cities of Gold... that story propelled many to an endless search for something that does not exist.

You're not getting away from Christ by substituting BCE for BC. You need to re-date history before and after someone who is your god. Some examples: BTB/BAB: before and after the Beatles. or, BMM/AMM: before and after Marilyn Monroe. or BBO/ABO: before and after Barak Obama.

Random question for any native people who speak native languages, do names for the places mentioned in this vid, like the great lakes, still exist in your languages, alongside English or French names? E.g. I'm from Wales, and many places, mountains, rivers, forests etc have both Welsh names and English or Anglicized ones; there are even places in England and Scotland that have Welsh versions of their names: Cymru - Wales Ynys Môn - Anglesey Yr Wyddgrug - Mold (note that Y and W are vowels in Welsh and that the dd makes the th sound in That, Though) Caerfyrddin - Carmarthen Caerffili - Caerphilly Merthyr Tudful - Merthyr Tydfil. Llundain - London Caerliwelydd - Carlisle Was curious as to whether native names live alongside European names.

Buffalo Jumps are also called Buffalo Bumps. Bumps are actually a more accurate term because the first ones to come to bluff or cliff edge weren't just running off in death leaps. They would come to a quick halt only to be "Bumped" off the edge by the momentum of the herd behind them.

The North American Bison slaughter was the direct result of a Genocide against the Native American people, the intentional extermination of an entire civilization of an indigenous population, by invading foreigners, for the purpose of permanent occupation and settlement. It also allowed for the conversion of millions of acres of pristine prairie land into farms & ranches for economic profits and to feed the invaders.

I once read that the famous trapper/soldier Christopher 'Kit' Carson was largely responsible for initiating & promoting the strategy of killing the Bison in order to starve the Native North American populations into submission and surrender themselves to the reservations. And in spite of being married twice to Indigenous Women, participated in several attacks that resulted in the brutal butchery of Native Americans, and is responsible for nearly obliterating the North American Bison into extinction. Thankfully, our more civilized neighbors in Canada, didn't participate in the slaughter and we still have Bison today.

Howdy! Such a wonderful video, and extensively researched, well done! Did just want to add a note about agriculture in the area. While traditional western agriculture definitely did not exist on the Pacific Coast, there were many extensive techniques used to select for and support the native food crops that were staples of diet in the region, and these techniques were so advanced that many have argued they classify as agriculture. On a really large scale, the forests of the Pacific Coast boast a wide variety of edible shrubs and trees, so species like Beaked Hazelnut and Service Berry would be noted and competing species would be cleared out, allowing the desirables to form thickets of food producing shrubs. This practice was continued for so long that sections of the landscape would become known for being “the place for Service Berry”, or Huckleberry, or what have you. However the more interesting case of food based land management comes from tidal flood plains, and the prairies of South Puget Sound. There are a number of flowering plants in the area that grow from very starchy bulbs. These include Chocolate Lilly, Rice Root, Tiger Lilly, and most importantly Camas. The first three could often be found in tidally influenced coastal meadows, and these areas would be heavily weeded by hand, in order to ensure a plethora of bulbs would grow beneath the ground. These tuber gardens are still in use by the Squamish, and other tribes today, and produce a shocking number of calories in a very small space. My favorite example however comes from the Prairies, where Greater and Small Camas grew profusely. In a note from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it was said that as the group descended from the cascades into the lowlands, they though they were coming to the ocean, as they could only see rolling open spaces of bright blue as far as they could see, but this was in fact the camas meadows/gardens of the South Puget Sound Peoples. The Nisqually, Chehalis, Cowlitz, and so many more tribes depended on these starchy roots as a staple food, and they were also traded far and wide, with dried camas being found all throughout Washington, and down into Southern California as well, where it does not grow, and must have been traded for. Besides dried salmon, camas was the number 2 tradable food source of the region. The plant was so vital, that the peoples who depended on it literally shaped the entire landscape of the south sound, by burning the prairies every 1-2 years, halting the encroachment of conifers and shrubs, and protecting the camas from being out competed. This practice remained consistent for so long, that Prairie once spread from South Tacoma/Fircrest area, all the way south to Olympia, and beyond to the Willamette Vally. This open space boasted Washington’s most biodiverse ecosystem, Garry Oak Prairie, which provided bountiful food and medicine to those who maintained it with fire. We know that these prairies were maintained by fire, because in the modern age, under a fire regime that only sees fire as a bad thing to be put out, this whole region was taken over by Douglas’s Fir and other trees, turning the prairie into young forest with much less biodiversity. Only about 2% of the historical Garry Oak Prairies of the South Sound still exist today. This is all to say that while traditional “agriculture” may not have been happening on the Pacific Coast, there were most definitely numerous traditions and techniques practiced to control which plants were growing where, and to benefit those that provided food and medicine, which is very similar to agriculture, if not the same thing by definition. Again wonderful video, and this is not a critique on really anything you said, just wanted to provide this extra information :) thanks!

You know, North America has just a rich and colorful history as Egypt, England and South America. Also sadly we know very little about North American native history. So sad that hundreds of not thousand of these historical monuments have already been destroyed or plowed under or pillaged centuries ago. Cahokia should be researched and protected from destruction.

African civilizations like Nubia, Great Zimbabwe, the Mali Empire, and Egypt have long been marred by spurious claims that the ancestors of the native people currently living in these areas could not have possibly created these civilizations, and that they must have been the result of European or middle eastern influence and domination. Indeed, until very recently the mainstream belief was that ancient Egyptian civilization was started by people from the middle east who 'brought civilization' to the native Egyptians--and some people still cling on to this idea. It's incredibly ironic that some people of African descent would then go on to do the same thing to the indigenous people of the Americas.
