When I was younger and ignorant towards God, I used to find history boring. Now I find it fascinating. Specifically what is covered in videos like this. Everyone knows about the more modern war times and the watered-down marxist take on American history. But this is going back to more ancient times of a people that have been largely otherwise ignored. It's true continental American history related to the migration from Babel. It's amazing and I appreciate your work! Answers in Genesis is a true gem.
I am a Native American from the Mono Tribe in North Fork California near Sacramento. I want to learn more about the history of my tribe like how this video portrayed. All I know is that we were a peaceful gathering tribe
Indians whom invaded North America were all about war, kidnapping, terror and slavery. I heard some have insisted only Indians east of Mississippi were violent but history shows a different story. Look into all the 'massacre' sites, it was initiated by the Indians violently attacking white settlers, raping and kidnapping the white women and children, scalping the men, destroying and stealing whatever they could, which lead to military stepping in time and again.
Fascinating! I like your approach of going back to older (less biased and socially engineered) historical accounts. The bottom line is this: “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,” Acts 17:26
Even though their boundaries were set, it is heartbreaking to know that the Europeans came to annihilate and assimilate anyone and everyone who did not believe in their heretical Catholism. The Indian was never afforded the true gospel message.
Listening to this it reminds me of the Louis L'Amour book of Jubal Sackett who traveled in the areas and met a tribe of people fleeing from others. The people he met said there were descendants of the Suns. Louis L'Amour was a traveler and collector of oral stories as well as an author. You may want to contact his estate and see what they have available from his lifetime of travel and gathering.
My grandmother was pure cherokee and she left the reservation when she was young because of how difficult it was. She moved to Missouri and refused to pass on our history. I did find the land they lived on in tn. before the trail of tears. Myself and a friend have been putting our history together again but I would like to go further. I am now passing it on to my sons and grandsons.
My great grandmother was full Cherokee. My grandmother didn't talk about it but we spent many lot of time together and she told me a lot of things that she didn't share with my dad or his brothers and sister. They know of some of this but no detail. Then recently i found out from an uncle that you used to go to an Indian reservation in South Louisiana (I can only assume it's the Chitimacha but could be Tunica-Biloxy) to visit my grandfather's family. A lot of our ancestry on my dad's side of the family is lost but really wanting to do the chromosomal haplogroup DNA test.
The trail if tears makes me so ashamed of the white man. My grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee even if she weren't that still boils my blood for those atrocities against the native Americans. Even then the Government was wiping out white settlers and blaming the native Americans for it to create a narrative and create an atmosphere of fear. That part is something I have believed as a child watching cowboy and Indian movies I always felt like most of the narrative was a lie about the native American. So the white settlers would go along with the Government. I never Said anything to the adults it was just this string feeling I got.
I read this statement somewhere: The children want to remember what the parents want to forget. Sometimes the past is just too painful for our parents to repeat in words. We have to be detectives of history.
I wish I could give multiple thumbs up. I've always wondered about the history of the Native Americans. A lot of my fascination came from knowing I had Native Americans in my lineage. Thank you Dr. Jeanson for doing the hard work, researching historical accounts, and cross-examining it with DNA and accounts from Native American's themselves. Thank you for taking on the monumental task of uncovering the history of the Americas prior to Europeans. May God continue to bless your work and pour the Spirit on you to find answers that show how all of humanity is interconnected.
Prior to Europeans coming native americans knew of 1 creator. Aztecs worshipped multiple gods and human sacrifice was a thing so we don't considered us the same, never have and never will.
@@VincentConti-m5j since when? At whose behest? Andrew Jackson put an end to the Cherokee nation in The south and shipped them to Oklahoma. They were 100% literate and most were and are still Christian. Darwin did more harm to native Americans than anybody else, along with other non European races. Choctaw were also forcefully sent to Texas before Civil War and murdered when oil was found on THEIR property. Don't point the finger unless you can name names and Institutions. I know too many Native Americans to swallow that pill. The USA calvary destroyed so many Pueblo, clans and society's at the behest of bankers and land developers. I can go on and on. If and when Christians have done these things it is certainly odd since so many missionaries were sent to convert and integrate them into U S culture. Catholic schools were set up all over the world but were unfortunately not interested in native autonomy and integration was brutal at times. Especially in Australia, and the South West US. The biggest demoralized of native populations in US is alcohol and unemployment. That is BIA handling of cultural and land issues. WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT. So before you castigate one group over another get your facts straight. My neighbors, classmates, friends, boyfriends, and students were from all over the South West and northwest. My grandmother was a public health nurse for BIA for 25 years. I can go on and on.
@@VincentConti-m5j That’s not true. No one who kills and murders is a follower of or servant of Jesus Christ. Many people claim the name of Christ and say they are a Christian because they were “christened” as a baby (which has no impact at all on adult life choices) a practice which is not able to change a person’s heart, and is not found at all in the New Testament. If you are familiar with the New Testament, you will know that Jesus said His followers will love and forgive their enemies, will be kind never exploit others, and will treat others how they want to be treated. He said that if His kingdom was an earthly power, then His followers would fight; but makes clear that His kingdom is Spiritual, therefore His followers do not fight or use force. In the Gospels Jesus also says that many will claim to know and serve Him, but that at the end of time He will tell them they cannot enter into Heaven, because He never knew them and they are NOT part of His kingdom or family. In the Gospels, Acts and the rest of the New Testament, we see that if someone wants to become a follower of Jesus, they need to repent, turn away from selfishness and sin, be baptized by voluntary immersion, and live a life of loving God with all their heart, strength and soul, and also a life loving and serving others, just like Jesus did. Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church were nearly all Jewish in origin and culture. The church spread, but it was still connected with Hebrew culture for a long time. When the church became a legal entity approved by the Roman Empire, and then became controled by the primarily pagan government, this established government/church hybrid lost it’s Biblical character. After this time, infant baptism was used more frequently as a way for the government to control people through their whole lives. But these were largely counterfeits, and very few true Christians existed during the generations of state churches. There have always been a few who seek the Lord with all of their heart, and find Him. They literally look to Jesus and follow His example in their daily lives. They do not ever oppress or kill others. THESE are the people the Bible calls Christians, Believers and Followers of Jesus. If someone doesn’t actually follow Jesus, then they are NOT a Christian, no matter what they claim.
I’m am Lakota Sioux my great grandfather was a chief (Red Owl). I’ve learned much since being a child growing up in Lakota Sioux nation, most my family being from the Midwest btw. A lot of what is taught like you said is wrong. In my nation and other Native American nations we have account of ones who occupied this land before us were in fact GIANTS aka Nephilim. There are so many stories of tribes battling them account after account in fact. Finding giant skeleton bodies unearthed. In regards to the mounds the native people will tell you they DID NOT build those, it was in fact Nephilim.
It’s amazing how many have stories of giants and nephilim. We went to Montezuma castle several years ago and one of the Native American guides mentioned there were stories of the cliff dwellers disappearing because giants killed them all. There was still corn in the bowls and everything. Very eerie!
Not all of them. My family is Iroquian. I heard that the descendants of the Moundbuilders were the Seminole and that the Lenape and some Iroquians intermarried with them. We fought the Giants also but they didnt build the Mounds ( the majority of them) Now some folk in the Mounds who are 8 ft and under are human. Many people were bigger than now because the environment was better. Now some are 12 ft. And over. Those are the giants. Ive seen the mounds of both. Giants were buried a certain way to keep the peace so to speak. Ive heard of the Walun Olum. I was not lead to believe it is false. Peace.
America covers up America's history because it'd make the bible way more clear for people which satan doesn't want. Giants clearly are stated in the Bible about roaming the earth and a reason why God sent the flood. Sarah winnemucca had giants remains on her dress and has stories of how pauites dealt with some but there's so many stories all over the world on them
Please please please write a book. Native American history and I dont mean to be rude but mythologies (for lack of a bettwr word) are an absolute treasure for America and are very incomplete in literature.
Hi I am half Choctaw from Oklahoma and my mother was full blood Choctaw. My daughter did a DNA test a couple of years ago and was stunned. She has both Indigenous America, both North and Mexico DNA. I remember that my great grandmother mentioned that she was also Creek and that I had the Creek eyes. Not sure what that meant, unfortunately.
If you know that older maps from 1700s had Texas and other areas up the West coast listed as "Mexico" so the descriptions of coming from Mexico might be more accurate than one thinks. I started learning about using old maps when I was doing genealogy. The "county" was named but had been split up onto 12 more newly named "counties" it explained why we couldn't find what we were looking for. Old maps can help massively! Love your work❤!
My (Iroquois) family is from the Ohio River Valley. My dad's family settled along a large tributary of the Ohio River (Beaver Creek) . Known as the longest creek in Ohio, it's banks were dominated by a large number of Cherokee peoples. My Grandmother always talked of her Iroquois heritage and my dad who is now 84 y.o., says he is of the Cherokee Nation. Most elders say there are 5 tribes of the Cherokee Nation, Iroquois being one of them. Very hard to trace family lines,as many were forced to adopt a "last" name. Records have been lost to fires,floods and indifference. Some interesting (area specific) historical documents and (now flooded) archeological history is preserved by the *Carnegie Library of East Liverpool, Ohio. 43920* and the *East Liverpool Historical Society * Native sites, now flooded for the building of locks to move barges of cargo along the river,were photographed , documented and preserved by historical societies prior to the engineering and development. I would speculate other towns along the Ohio River have similar historical preservation archives.
Fascinating information. The Choctaws are also divided up but they are called clans. A interesting Choctaw clan to look into is the Crawdad, or Crayfish clan. Their clan origins legend is a peculiar one.
Learn from Wayne May. You'll learn that you didn't come from Mexico/MesoAmerica. Your of Jewish decent. All DNA test done in MesoAmerica are of Middle Eastern decent. Look at the structures down the there. Not all Native American Tribes are of Jewish decent but many are. The last thing our government ever wanted to admit, and remains the same, is that many Native Americans are ofJewish decent. So If you have Hapolgroup X DNA your of Jewish decent. If your A,B,C or D your not.
While I greatly respect Dr. Jeanson's work, Is hard to reconcile his avoidance of the integral work of two well known 19th century surveyors / amateur archeologists ( archaeology was really non-existent in the 1830;s), Ephraim Squire and Edwin Davis. They diligently plotted out several dozens of earthworks and Mound structures, that testified of a sophisticated civilization in the heartland and centrally, in the Ohio area, pre-dating the Cahokia peoples.Because of their work, we have detailed documentation of several mound structures, that have since been destroyed and "buried".(looking at you US Corps of Engineers!) IF you are of Iroquoian heritage, you will want to see/ listen to what Wayne May, and Rod Meldrum have discovered about the unusual DNA haplo group specific ONLY to the Algonquian and Iroquois peoples and from where that comes from. We are talking clear back to 600-800 BC ,of a people arriving in boats to the panhandle of Florida who migrated up to Ohio area along the "Great River". During the time of westward expansion, the mounds were so plentiful, that settlers and farmers, before they leveled the mounds for farmland, commonly dug up artifacts, and objects from them testifying of the history of a people that modern scientists have found it more convenient to ignore, rather than challenge the accepted dogma of pre-history America. You will be amazed. Look for Wayne May Rod Meldrum Heartland Model - also see you dot tube channel Michael P - for very clear presentation - I think maybe he presents better than Wayne, but defers to May's Heartland Model.
Dr. i am proud to inform you that I am 85 percent native american, but no knowledge of my ancestors. However your research is great and a light to my native/american heritage. Thank you!
I've been digging into what really was going on in North and South America in ancient times for a few years now. I truly believe many fled here in Biblical times and the truth has been covered up, destroyed and felt I've been spoon fed lies my whole life. Thank you for the hard work in getting these facts and information out there. This is hands down, my newly discovered and favorite channel. ..... absolutely amazing 🙏
I love this guys videos. I love history, and my mother's a geneologist. I like how he's referencing earlier works closest to the sources at their times, rather than some persons book based on another persons book. Just the fact that he's citing his research and not expecting people to just take him at his word is evidence that he is a true researcher.
When it comes to source material please think on this quote about two kinds of fool “This is old and therefore good. This is new and therefore better”. Point being, be sceptical and critical of both old and new sources, with historical records the older can be closer to the key time, but it’s a fallacy to equate older with more accurate.
@@sjl197 I hear what you are saying and agree to critiquing all research material ….but, the closer the material is to the actual date of that history occurring is definitely taken into account and in many instances carries more weight as opposed to the more time that passes between the historical event and the recording of it lends itself to more “legend-making” and myth building so it tends to be less accurate.
Probably the most comprehensive history of the Native Americans during the Spanish conquest that I have ever heard! Thanks Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson. Your work is invaluable!
The earliest Spanish explorers reported vast numbers of people in North America. 70 years later European explorers found a mostly empty wilderness. The waves of disease that swept through North America must have been even more devastating than has been realized to date. Unrecognized because there was literally no one left to tell the tale of what happened.
8/10 people died, 9/10 in some areas. It was total population collapse, because even though only 3/10 died of disease, famine killed the rest. They just couldn't maintain society.
Disease did spread -- but not to the extent we are led to believe. Conversely, disease was brought from America's back to Spain etc. The main fall was interfighting between tribes and later Europeans.
@@robmerrill3460 True. Several diseases from the New World made their way back to Europe. They just didn't have the devastating effect that Old World diseases had in the Americas. In fighting between tribes and even fighting with Europeans doesn't account for the population crash. That happened after first contact but before Europeans were in the Americas in any numbers. The native Tribes and Nations had been just as fractious and warlike as anywhere else in the world from the beginning right up to contact with Europe and after. European, African, Asian, Indo Pacific regions didn't have a population crash like that and they were every bit as war ridden.
I wouldn't be surprised if archaeologists have done to native American artifacts what paleontologists have done to dinosaurs: separate them too much into too many groups based on the smallest minute differences ignoring similarities, because everyone wants to say they made a big discovery. (E.g., naming baby and adolescent dinosaurs as entirely new species.)
One thing you need to take into consideration. During the time of the first Spanish explorer's, the grasslands of Texas extended far into northern Mexico. The desert of today that you see in south Texas and Mexico was lush, and covered with grasses. A few years back I remember reading an account from an early Spanish explorer describing the Chihuahuan desert as being covered in tall grass, and having bison grazing it. What you see today is the results of overgrazing, and poor land management.
born and raised in alabama , moundville is on the black warrior river, but the moundville mounds are the burial mounds of giants. and the people you are looking for are the cherokee, they had the large east empire,in fact much larger than usually reported. they did allow others such as the likely related creeks to live on their land.
lynn967 Question: Did those Giants have 6 fingers & toes? If yes, they originated from the Nephalim who were a mix of evil angels who initially had forced sex with the women in the beginning… Genesis 6! Check it out. Blessings
I am so glad to hear about what you are doing! I’ve always said, why doesn’t anyone ask the Native tribes where they came from?!!! Why are they left out of their own telling of their history?!!!! This is awesome! Can’t wait to get updates on this! ❤
I remember reading in the accounts of the Lewis & Clark expedition, that they came across native peoples who described the great population and trade center called Kahokia, and that they traded freely with another great nation from the region of present day British Columbia called the Black Feet. Lewis & Clark came upon members of the Black Feet and described them in some detail. Amazing history! Keep up the great work!
I lived close to the Natchez Trace and drove it many times. It goes from Natchez MS to Nashville TN. It is worth driving, and do not exceed the speed limit, not even by 1MPH. There are some places where you can see parts of the original trail. I am sure it went further north. They must have had that region well controlled.
I love your work! My uncle teaches Mexican history, he’s got his doctrine and he’s gotta hear this, I hope he’ll give this to his students he works and lives in Asheville North Carolina but he’s originally from New Mexico, and he's of Mexican dissent. his name is Dr. Frank R. Tellez, I'd love for him to talk with you about this. He was married to my aunt so I’m not blood related to him
This is absolutely Incredible work you are doing! May God bless these endeavors as we learn what has been lost. ALL people and their histories are vitally important so we can better understand what joins us all together.
I live in Anadarko, Oklahoma. We are known as the Indian Capital of the Nation since more indian tribes are represented here than any where else in the country. I know, also, there are a great number of Cherokee around the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. I'm giving this as general information hoping it will be of some use to you.
I worked in Anadarko for a while, and the reason so many Natives live near there is because the BIA agency was located there. Natives flocked there because the agency handed out food and blankets (sometimes infected with disease).
Very interesting history. Having lived in Collinsville Illinois for over 30 years, Cahokia Mounds are in the it's city limits. I spent many hours walking the mound grounds and the surrounding area. Not well known is, there were small native camps many miles in all directions from Cahokia mounds where the people hunted, fished and gathered food to support the huge population at Cahokia.
I grew up in Amarillo Texas. Amarillo, being the Spanish word for yellow. I was told that it was because of the beautiful yellow prairie flowers that grew all over that area. It’s interesting to hear that that was listed in the account by those early peoples.
Poverty Point Louisiana is a World Heritage Archaeological Site because of this very topic. The findings suggest that the earliest North American “settlers” were there. Maybe even the first Western Hemisphere settlers! The people there were not farmers, but they also were not nomadic. They were hunter gatherers in one place for over 600 years, some 3,400 years ago.
This is fascinating material. I have Tomahittan ancestry. There isn't much on the Tomahittans except what came from James Needham and especially Gabriel Arthur. My own Tomahittan ancestor came from the Tennessee Valley in the same region that it seems Needham and Arthur had gone. They were often confused with the Cherokee, but Gregory Waselkov identified them as speaking Hitichiti. According to Arthur, they were marauders who plundered villages up and down the Mississippi River as far north as present-day Ohio following any number of feeder rivers and even making forays into parts of modern-day Florida. So the capacity of any of these groups to travel was very good. In light of this, I do wonder as to the contact that these groups had with people from the east coast of modern-day Mexico with regard to trade, intermarriage, or even migration.
"His side of the sun." Probably refers to the side of the equator they're on. So north and south. One Egyptian account describes how an expedition found themselves on the other side of the sun as they sailed down the coast of Africa.
Interesting theory. I have visited Cahokia and Monks Mound from where one can see the St. Louis Arch towards the west. The Cahokia site is in Collinsville, Illinois. This site developed and flourished between the years of 1050 and 1350 which would make them contemporaneous with the Aztec and Mayan city states from the same period. The timelines unfortunately doesn't match the migrations you mentioned. Archeologists arrived at an estimate that Cahokia had been abandoned between 1350 and 1450. I am not an Anthropologist or Archeologist but I agree there are similarities in the way the site is laid out as compared to Mayan sites like Chacchoben. More intriguing to me is if there was a connection with the much older site El Mirador and its people in Northern Guatemala and the people of Cahokia. El Mirador is now believed to be the largest pre-European city in North and South America. El Mirador preceded the Aztecs, Maya, and the Cahokia sites by at least one thousand years and covered an area of over 500 square miles with over 60,000 structures and may have had a population of over a million people. I look forward to more of your videos Dr. Jeanson.
There’s a bunch undiscovered in Peru and Chile that you can see from google maps I believe we came from south and we’re migrating up which is why the South Americans are much more populated than the northern tribes because passing the Aztec empire they pretty much become nomadic as to down south you see bigger civilizations
Sounds similar to what the People of One Fire RUclips channel says. Some ethnic groups that became part of the Creek alliance claimed to have been Mayan people who moved to the Georgia area after invaders started using their kids as sacrifices. They think that their people did some of the mound building in what is now Georgia.
I am Choctaw, tribal member with traceable ancestry through the trail of tears. I would love to participate and learn more. I will sign up this evening.
Regarding part of what Dr. Jeanson proposes in this video as the pre-Columbian 'Natchez Empire' in the southeastern United States: "The Old Natchez Trace is a historic forest trail within the United States which extends roughly 440 miles (710 km) from Nashville, Tennessee, to Natchez, Mississippi, linking the Cumberland, Tennessee, and Mississippi rivers. The trail was created and used by Native Americans for centuries. Largely following a geologic ridge line, prehistoric animals followed the dry ground of the Trace to distant grazing lands, the salt licks of today's Middle Tennessee, and to the Mississippi River. Native Americans used many early footpaths created by the foraging of bison, deer, and other large game that could break paths through the dense undergrowth. In the case of the Trace, bison traveled north to find salt licks in the Nashville area. After Native Americans began to settle the land, they blazed the trail and improved it further, until it became a relatively well-established path. Numerous prehistoric indigenous settlements in Mississippi were established along the Natchez Trace. Among them were the 2,000-year-old Pharr Mounds of the Middle Woodland period, located near present-day Tupelo, Mississippi. Early European explorers depended on the assistance of Native American guides to go through this territory - specifically, the Choctaw and Chickasaw who occupied the region. These tribes and earlier prehistoric peoples, collectively known as the Mississippian culture, had long used the Trace for trade." [Quoting from the Wikipedia article]
annakimborahpa Very interesting info from the source you chose; if it’s pure truth.. Only The Triune God “The Creator of ALL”k Is Fully Knowledgeable Absolutely 💯%
If you are ever near that area, you can travel the Natchez Trace Parkway that follows along the old trail and is maintained by the US National Park Service. On the nps website page /natr/index.htm are photos, information and a five minute video.
I live in St Louis Missouri, we went on a few field trips to the cahokia, Indian mounds and archaeological digs in Illinois… they have recently found mass graves of children that are believed to have been Sacrificed to the Corn Goddess, the Mounds are aligned with the Sun and stars, and once every 3 years there is an alignment…
This is so extremely interesting! I'm not native, but very curious and excited to know the history of the continent I'm from. We haven't really had ancient history, until now! I've always loved ancient history, and am so interested in this. This seems to me very well researched, I can't wait to listen again when you find out and put together more of this amazing history!
The Red Record is currently unavailable or ridiculously priced at over $500. I have been looking for a copy to add to my family library…as part of our collection of native resources. It’s frustrating how often the best sources of information that conflict with current political correctness is buried like this, effectively censored. As a family including Ogalala Lakota tribal members, it is unconscionable that historical records continue to be withheld from public access.
Great video! I think you are unequivocally correct. Also, the Muskogee language shows a lot of cognates with itza maya totonac and nahautl witch is super interesting stuff to dig into. I had known the Mississippians were muskogee but I didn’t know how interesting the natchez people were!!! Never knew. Now tbh I am wordering who the hopewell people were or if there interaction sphere met with the Mississippian sphere. There are a lot of really interesting burial mounds in Ohio and Michigan and also a lot of cooper from the upper peninsula of Michigan was found in Mississippian mound in Georgia. Its called etowa. It appears to me the hopewell people must have had cultural contact with the Mississippian groups and it could have been very very early contact. I would suppose that the hurons and cherokees or the ho chunk were the decendents of the hopewell who did trade with those groups but it is very hard to tell. The hopewell mounds and circular earth enclosures span from halfway up the west coast of michigan all the way down into ohio and kentucky. Cherokee folk tales suggest they were the arbiters of that great nation and their migration stories match up with it but not much is actually known.
This was a brilliant educational video, very thought provoking. My opinion on many of these enormous stone cities is that when the nomad tribes arrived in any given area, they found these cities covered in grass and trees, then they cleaned them up, restored them and inhabited the area. Then built their own great civilizations.
I once had a neighbor whose daughter was born with 6 fingers on each hand and 6 toes on each foot. 36 years ago I didn't realize that was a sign of the Nephilim.
Thoughtful and insightful presentation. Much Gratitude for your time and willingness to share while staying objective and respectfully requesting input from all interested ✌️❣️💫
The part where they mention there being so many birds they darkened the sky, reminds me of accounts during westward expansion by hunters who had the same experience. Fascinating!
My father was half French Canadian (his mothers side, Nova Scotia, Quebec) and my mother used to tell me he was French Indian. I’m supposing, if accurate, he would have been Iroquois. I wishI knew more about his lineage on that side of my family.
You mentioned the Florida Keys as a possible location for the Isles that were described in the Natchez account. Don’t discount the Chandelier Islands off the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Geographically they are much closer to the Mississippi River valley.
Read the Lewis lamore book Jubal Sackett. It's the story of someone in the 1700s traveling west of the Mississippi and some of the native peoples he meets. There is a group whose leader is called the great son and they are headed west in the book with their eternal fire. Louis L'Amour tried to base his books on as much fact as possible and if you haven't read it I know you will enjoy it
Tubal was apparently in Italy as well. Later on the Semitic I paternal haplogroup moved into Europe as well while the rest are R1a and R1b descendants of Gomer.
everyone who's christian is " by adoption". we all have to accept christ individually and many had no christian upbringing. All of us came from people who at some time were pagans. If you go back far enough.
I’m 4th generation Iroquois (at least) my great grandfather came from Tonawanda, NY he was the last member of our family to have grown up on that reservation.
I grew up in Arkansas, and this got me thinking about what was formerly known as the Toltec Mounds. They say they were built around 600 A.D., and abandoned around the year 1050 A.D.. Now they have changed the name to the Plum Bayou Culture, because they don't believe the Toltecs or Aztecs were responsible for them. Not so sure now.
I have been to the mounds of Illinois and serpent mound in Ohio. I have also seen Poverty point showing people here in the time of Christ. I’m not Indian but I love the Indian people and study their history. I guess I would call me a pioneer.
The Smithsonian admitted to destroying the skeletons from the Mound Builder civilization. Prior to this admission, officials at the Smithsonian were quoted in saying that the skeletons didn't exist, because if they did they would have challenged the status quo of Darwinistic academia.
Adding to the descriptions contained in The Red Record and in this Video, one small piece of what rings with authenticity is from a vary different source - that of a German Officer in North Africa as part of the Africa Corp, and he describes the Bedouin Peoples who were largely nomads, as knowing just where to dig and create temporary wells, and that groups of Bedouin would also carry their crop seed with them and plant crops when stopped - and after the crops matured and were harvested, they could fill in their water source and move on to other locations. The original Indian Tribes West and NW of the Aztec Empire Indians, migrating out of the Aztec general area to escape the ruin and the Spanish enslavement, moved into what is now Southern Texas and across the coastal areas of the present Southern Gulf States, to eventually form the Creek Nation, and along the way in this movement of many years they also stopped and planted corn and other crops, like the Bedouin did.
typical nomadic life style. But, guess what. the SW natives maybe the Hopi or other tribe, whose women wear those side buns. They are exactly like women of certain North African tribe 's hairstyle. Also other aspects of thier lives.
At the very beginning of this, I suspected the Natchez tribe had much to do with this. I lived in Natchez, MS for quite a while and not a whole lot is known about these peoples as they pretty much disappeared. I would suspect that the best source of information on this tribe would be from Dr. Charles Borum. I don't have contact info for him, but he does practice there and should be easy to find.
Bless you and your outstanding work. This is exactly the type of research that Christians should be doing. My knowledge of Native American history is very limited, but I know this history is important because I see so many US and Mexico place names that are words from tribes or tribal languages.
It’s a compelling piece of the historical puzzle covering from 600bc to 400ad. Regardless of weather you believe it is a religious text, it’s worth a read if you’re trying to understand the origins of the Native American people.
@@leechjim8023scientists, and reasoning people in general, don’t run away from a potential piece of historical evidence and especially not from something of potential religious value. They look at it, evaluate it, and come up with their own estimate.
This is fascinating! I like your approach. How can we learn anything unless we listen first and then analyze and compare? Along with DNA, I'm looking forward to learning more.
Love the DNA aspect!!! Did my sweethearts DNA because I knew he was more than half Native….. everyone always assumes he is an Islander. I questioned how much Native because how tall he is. He told me 😂everyone from his town is tall. I was surprised at that. Later met an anthropologist from the Southwest US who claims that there were ancient tribes in North America that have since been wiped out but remnants of their DNA are in some remaining tribes and indicators would be the height of some of the tribal members, tall 6ft plus. I was surprised at her answers but quickly realized how knowledgeable she was when she answered (correctly) some questions my girlfriend was asking her about a tribe near Happy Camp (Northwest US) my friend is a member of that tribe and the anthropologist didn’t miss a beat. My friend said no one with any book learning has ever got her questions right but this anthropologist did. Can’t wait to hear the DNA outcomes! We are cheering you on!!!!
This is one program that makes so much sense, and is very easy to understand, and appreciate the good that the information can give to so many peoples find their own answers to their ancestorial roots . Thanks much and Blessings.
I think my main concern about the historical account from the Creek is that it flies in the face of other historical evidence we have as it concerns the Spanish and Aztecs. Even though the Spanish had superior technology, their numbers were insignificant and they would have easily been overwhelmed by the might of ther Aztec Empire. The Creek's account comes across to me as someone who was an allie of the Aztec and was trying to place all the blame on the Spanish. If they were part of the conflict, they would have come across warriors from other tribes way more than the Spanish and guns.
I live near De Soto, Wisconsin. The Spanish explorer was said to have come this far up the Mississippi river and the cannons from his ship are said to lay at the bottom of the river near the city that bears his name.
Look up the Kennewick man. He was discovered when some shore was washed away. He is believed to come before the current natives we now know. The fear was that the local tribes may lose government funding. So they made a big issue out of him being found and had him reburied and concrete poured over the top. It was a massive discovery when I was a teen.
I live near. Cahokia mounds,almost within eyesite. It's the oldest city in north America. This place is absolutely amazing. We still find arrowheads all the time.. some people's hobby of collections include thousands
I heard it said that cherokee come from south America and they even used to hunt with blow darts. I cant remember where i heard this tho it was a long time ago. I am not cherokee i am from the North west coast. Tsimshian. I love to study history especially the history of my ancestors.
I grew up in Illinois and believe I can understand why Cahokia was the site for trade and the growth of the area by Native Americans. I spent many hours on the water fishing the waters in and around Illinois. If you look at the location of Cahokia, you are not too far away the Ohio River, you also have the Illinois River and Missouri River which dumps into Mississippi River. The Illinois River to the North just south of Peoria, Il the Spoon River dumps into it. The Spoon River is navigable by canoe. The area I lived in was home to part of the Potawatomi Tribe. A lady I know grew in the area and would sit while her dad farmed and dig into the hill side and collect arrowheads. Her childhood home was about five miles from where I lived, the area was very hilly and a manmade lake was built in the 1970's, the lake was feed by several creeks. On a hillside many arrowheads were found, which most believed was the perfect site to have water available from the creek that feed though the valley. I don't claim to be an expert of Native Americans, but I do feel Cahokia was the perfect place to bring all the tribes together for trading and talks among the elders.
Dr Jeanson, I'd like to refer you to the Book of Mormon and the works of Wayne May, an archeologist. This city of Cahokia is described in the Book of Mormon as Zarahemla. Many of the ancient North Americans were Christians. Wayne May has done tremendous work in discoving how these ancient peoples were the decendents of the people described in the Book of Mormon.
I believe Cahokia came after the time of Zarahemla, and that Wayne May believes it was in the area of Nauvoo. Also, I believe the Doctrine and Covanants states the same. My understanding was that Cahokia was built by a people who came from Mexico. It has been awhile since I researched this.
The University of Alabama press has a book called a history of the Osage people. It describes a suing tribe, migrating from the East Coast through Cahokia and out onto the prairie. Lotta good information there that would tie a lot of your Loose Ends together.
would be very interesting to get you and Wayne May to collaborate on origin stories and timelines. you may be able to assist each other on whom the ancients were and connect places in the stories as his info has a great deal of geographic intuition. Adena culture and Cahokia culture...
@@vendingdudes i was hoping we were past the flat earth days when ones religion was threatened or used to support/denigrate thought. i am hopeful that we are now at a time where science can support faith by finding truth.
My GG grandma said through the family, she was Powhatan, who migrated from VA through generations, to Kentucky. They were the chief line, and integrated into the Cherokee Nation, of Kentucky. Cherokee, means walking people, they were refugees of trauma. They shared a common tongue which is best equates to how Latin was used in Europe.
also notice each story they arrived at the mounds which were already there, the mounds are very old and none of these peoples bult them, they set up civilizations around them
Getting closer… the hopewell are the nephites (Israelites) and the adena are the jaredites from, let’s just call it “The Blue Record,” also known as The Book of Mormon. You said it yourself, “Let’s hear it.” I respect that approach!
@@blusheep2 A basic internet search will provide ample evidence to take the “blue record” seriously, just as much if not more so than the red record. The parallels between the people and timelines in the archaeological record in the heartland of America are mind blowing. Groups like “Answers in Genesis” and others not at all affiliated with the LDS religion are doing the work for us. The way Mr. Jeanson and many others are leaving no stone unturned means things will start to move very quickly now. Be patient, it will get there. As I mentioned before, it’s certainly compelling enough to take the record seriously. Give it a try.
@@aisaxonawiat6484 I think I have but I'm always open to new information. I'm in the middle of reading the BoM. Almost through Alma... what a long book. Wish they had split it up so I would feel like I was making progress. In the book of Alma it mentions swords and scimitars, chariots, swords that are washed bright, synagogues, the word "faith" and a distinctly Latin name Antipas. Can I find any of those relics at the Hopewell locations? Or in the Americas for that matter?
In my view (35 min and 33 seconds on the video) the eastern coast was on the Gulf of Mexico side and the western coast was the pacific side. Knowing their geography that the coasts were roughly parallel, the Suns rule extended up one coast (gulf side) and the ancients extended up the pacific side much farther in latitude or coastal distance. Don’t forget how intelligent these people were. Great work by the way. I enjoy you research findings.
There is a book "Dweller of two planets" by Oliver that covers much of this ancient, undocumented history. The book is essentially channeled information. It was written in there late 19th century and accurately discusses a number of different topics that were not known at that time, but later were found to be accurate. For example, it discusses a great population in South America with many cities connected by water ways and roads. Only within the last ten years has LIDAR proven this statement to be true. It also discusses how the grand canyon was turned in a very short period of time, not over centuries due to glacial effects as generally accepted, but recently a new theory suggests the same. Many more such trivial, yet accurate accounts of North America are documented which makes the story seem very credible. In short, it says survivors from Atlantis colonized North and South America before and after the Great flood. The Inca, which he says means " children of the sun" , went to South America. The chiefs, priests, were also called Inca, the sun, so dinner very familiar verbage. While there is nothing in this book that could be used in an academic research paper, it does seem to discuss in detail many accounts of these immigrants we know as native Americans. You may find some relevant information to help further your research.
One issue I have is the lithic materials do not match up to the account that the Creeks migrated from Mexico. Arrowheads etc will still need to be found along the migration route IMO to make this a firm conclusion.
When I was younger and ignorant towards God, I used to find history boring. Now I find it fascinating. Specifically what is covered in videos like this. Everyone knows about the more modern war times and the watered-down marxist take on American history. But this is going back to more ancient times of a people that have been largely otherwise ignored. It's true continental American history related to the migration from Babel. It's amazing and I appreciate your work! Answers in Genesis is a true gem.

I am a Native American from the Mono Tribe in North Fork California near Sacramento. I want to learn more about the history of my tribe like how this video portrayed. All I know is that we were a peaceful gathering tribe
Love North Fork area, beautiful
Indians whom invaded North America were all about war, kidnapping, terror and slavery.
I heard some have insisted only Indians east of Mississippi were violent but history shows a different story.
Look into all the 'massacre' sites, it was initiated by the Indians violently attacking white settlers, raping and kidnapping the white women and children, scalping the men, destroying and stealing whatever they could, which lead to military stepping in time and again.
I'm from Auberry, went to Big Creek elementary and Sierra Highschool
Fascinating! I like your approach of going back to older (less biased and socially engineered) historical accounts. The bottom line is this: “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,” Acts 17:26
Even though their boundaries were set, it is heartbreaking to know that the Europeans came to annihilate and assimilate anyone and everyone who did not believe in their heretical Catholism. The Indian was never afforded the true gospel message.
Listening to this it reminds me of the Louis L'Amour book of Jubal Sackett who traveled in the areas and met a tribe of people fleeing from others. The people he met said there were descendants of the Suns. Louis L'Amour was a traveler and collector of oral stories as well as an author. You may want to contact his estate and see what they have available from his lifetime of travel and gathering.
So you don't want Northern Mexican, 5 generations in USA male DNA right now?
I just made a comment about the book Jubal sack at myself lol
Smart insight
The Sackett saga is my favorite book collection. I have "Daybreakers" on the truck with me now.
I caught that, too.
My grandmother was pure cherokee and she left the reservation when she was young because of how difficult it was. She moved to Missouri and refused to pass on our history. I did find the land they lived on in tn. before the trail of tears. Myself and a friend have been putting our history together again but I would like to go further. I am now passing it on to my sons and grandsons.
My great grandmother was full Cherokee. My grandmother didn't talk about it but we spent many lot of time together and she told me a lot of things that she didn't share with my dad or his brothers and sister. They know of some of this but no detail. Then recently i found out from an uncle that you used to go to an Indian reservation in South Louisiana (I can only assume it's the Chitimacha but could be Tunica-Biloxy) to visit my grandfather's family. A lot of our ancestry on my dad's side of the family is lost but really wanting to do the chromosomal haplogroup DNA test.
The trail if tears makes me so ashamed of the white man. My grandmother was 1/2 Cherokee even if she weren't that still boils my blood for those atrocities against the native Americans. Even then the Government was wiping out white settlers and blaming the native Americans for it to create a narrative and create an atmosphere of fear. That part is something I have believed as a child watching cowboy and Indian movies I always felt like most of the narrative was a lie about the native American. So the white settlers would go along with the Government. I never Said anything to the adults it was just this string feeling I got.
I read this statement somewhere:
The children want to remember what the parents want to forget.
Sometimes the past is just too painful for our parents to repeat in words. We have to be detectives of history.
@@ronniebuchanan6575 What evidence exists that the government was attacking the white settler's?
In what part of Tennessee did they live ?
I've often wondered what natives lived on my property.
I wish I could give multiple thumbs up. I've always wondered about the history of the Native Americans. A lot of my fascination came from knowing I had Native Americans in my lineage. Thank you Dr. Jeanson for doing the hard work, researching historical accounts, and cross-examining it with DNA and accounts from Native American's themselves. Thank you for taking on the monumental task of uncovering the history of the Americas prior to Europeans. May God continue to bless your work and pour the Spirit on you to find answers that show how all of humanity is interconnected.
These people are known to Latter-day Saint people as lamanites and they didn't all die off. Their society changed and they became tribal.
Thank you. Your exactly right on who these people are/were. He needs to study Wayne May, Bruce Porter who put there life into this.
Prior to Europeans coming native americans knew of 1 creator. Aztecs worshipped multiple gods and human sacrifice was a thing so we don't considered us the same, never have and never will.
So you're Caucasian?

Your work is amazing! Keep up the good work.

Public schools only care about changing your childrens gender and morally corrupting them. Not teaching the truth.
Seriously!? Christians put the end to them!!!!
@@VincentConti-m5j Too who ?
@@VincentConti-m5j since when? At whose behest? Andrew Jackson put an end to the Cherokee nation in The south and shipped them to Oklahoma. They were 100% literate and most were and are still Christian. Darwin did more harm to native Americans than anybody else, along with other non European races.
Choctaw were also forcefully sent to Texas before Civil War and murdered when oil was found on THEIR property. Don't point the finger unless you can name names and Institutions. I know too many Native Americans to swallow that pill.
The USA calvary destroyed so many Pueblo, clans and society's at the behest of bankers and land developers. I can go on and on. If and when Christians have done these things it is certainly odd since so many missionaries were sent to convert and integrate them into U S culture.
Catholic schools were set up all over the world but were unfortunately not interested in native autonomy and integration was brutal at times. Especially in Australia, and the South West US. The biggest demoralized of native populations in US is alcohol and unemployment. That is BIA handling of cultural and land issues.
WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT. So before you castigate one group over another get your facts straight.
My neighbors, classmates, friends, boyfriends, and students were from all over the South West and northwest.
My grandmother was a public health nurse for BIA for 25 years. I can go on and on.

That’s not true. No one who kills and murders is a follower of or servant of Jesus Christ. Many people claim the name of Christ and say they are a Christian because they were “christened” as a baby (which has no impact at all on adult life choices) a practice which is not able to change a person’s heart, and is not found at all in the New Testament.
If you are familiar with the New Testament, you will know that Jesus said His followers will love and forgive their enemies, will be kind never exploit others, and will treat others how they want to be treated. He said that if His kingdom was an earthly power, then His followers would fight; but makes clear that His kingdom is Spiritual, therefore His followers do not fight or use force. In the Gospels Jesus also says that many will claim to know and serve Him, but that at the end of time He will tell them they cannot enter into Heaven, because He never knew them and they are NOT part of His kingdom or family. In the Gospels, Acts and the rest of the New Testament, we see that if someone wants to become a follower of Jesus, they need to repent, turn away from selfishness and sin, be baptized by voluntary immersion, and live a life of loving God with all their heart, strength and soul, and also a life loving and serving others, just like Jesus did.
Jesus, the Apostles and the Early Church were nearly all Jewish in origin and culture. The church spread, but it was still connected with Hebrew culture for a long time. When the church became a legal entity approved by the Roman Empire, and then became controled by the primarily pagan government, this established government/church hybrid lost it’s Biblical character.
After this time, infant baptism was used more frequently as a way for the government to control people through their whole lives. But these were largely counterfeits, and very few true Christians existed during the generations of state churches. There have always been a few who seek the Lord with all of their heart, and find Him. They literally look to Jesus and follow His example in their daily lives. They do not ever oppress or kill others. THESE are the people the Bible calls Christians, Believers and Followers of Jesus. If someone doesn’t actually follow Jesus, then they are NOT a Christian, no matter what they claim.
I’m am Lakota Sioux my great grandfather was a chief (Red Owl). I’ve learned much since being a child growing up in Lakota Sioux nation, most my family being from the Midwest btw. A lot of what is taught like you said is wrong. In my nation and other Native American nations we have account of ones who occupied this land before us were in fact GIANTS aka Nephilim. There are so many stories of tribes battling them account after account in fact. Finding giant skeleton bodies unearthed. In regards to the mounds the native people will tell you they DID NOT build those, it was in fact Nephilim.
It’s amazing how many have stories of giants and nephilim. We went to Montezuma castle several years ago and one of the Native American guides mentioned there were stories of the cliff dwellers disappearing because giants killed them all. There was still corn in the bowls and everything. Very eerie!
Jesus had the "sermon on THE MOUNDS" ...
Not all of them. My family is Iroquian. I heard that the descendants of the Moundbuilders were the Seminole and that the Lenape and some Iroquians intermarried with them. We fought the Giants also but they didnt build the Mounds ( the majority of them)
Now some folk in the Mounds who are 8 ft and under are human. Many people were bigger than now because the environment was better. Now some are 12 ft. And over. Those are the giants. Ive seen the mounds of both. Giants were buried a certain way to keep the peace so to speak.
Ive heard of the Walun Olum. I was not lead to believe it is false.
Peace.
America covers up America's history because it'd make the bible way more clear for people which satan doesn't want. Giants clearly are stated in the Bible about roaming the earth and a reason why God sent the flood. Sarah winnemucca had giants remains on her dress and has stories of how pauites dealt with some but there's so many stories all over the world on them
Please please please write a book. Native American history and I dont mean to be rude but mythologies (for lack of a bettwr word) are an absolute treasure for America and are very incomplete in literature.
Learning actual history is so refreshing.
Jesus! He's accepting a forgery cheaper than the Book of Mormon!

If you know that older maps from 1700s had Texas and other areas up the West coast listed as "Mexico" so the descriptions of coming from Mexico might be more accurate than one thinks. I started learning about using old maps when I was doing genealogy. The "county" was named but had been split up onto 12 more newly named "counties" it explained why we couldn't find what we were looking for. Old maps can help massively! Love your work❤!
Texas has a million counties and they are tiny it seems. very hard to look up legal things that way unless you know the exact county.
As a homeschooled mom, I'd like to say thank you! I've looked for resources to teach my kids about this exact topic. Keep up the good work.
My (Iroquois) family is from the Ohio River Valley. My dad's family settled along a large tributary of the Ohio River (Beaver Creek) . Known as the longest creek in Ohio, it's banks were dominated by a large number of Cherokee peoples. My Grandmother always talked of her Iroquois heritage and my dad who is now 84 y.o., says he is of the Cherokee Nation. Most elders say there are 5 tribes of the Cherokee Nation, Iroquois being one of them.
Very hard to trace family lines,as many were forced to adopt a "last" name.
Records have been lost to fires,floods and indifference.
Some interesting (area specific) historical documents and (now flooded) archeological history is preserved by the *Carnegie Library of East Liverpool, Ohio. 43920* and the
*East Liverpool Historical Society *
Native sites, now flooded for the building of locks to move barges of cargo along the river,were photographed , documented and preserved by historical societies prior to the engineering and development.
I would speculate other towns along the Ohio River have similar historical preservation archives.
Fascinating information. The Choctaws are also divided up but they are called clans. A interesting Choctaw clan to look into is the Crawdad, or Crayfish clan. Their clan origins legend is a peculiar one.
Ahem the Cherokee are an Iroquian tribe not the other way around😂.
But hey at least we are not Shawnee😂😂😂😂😂
Learn from Wayne May. You'll learn that you didn't come from Mexico/MesoAmerica. Your of Jewish decent. All DNA test done in MesoAmerica are of Middle Eastern decent. Look at the structures down the there. Not all Native American Tribes are of Jewish decent but many are. The last thing our government ever wanted to admit, and remains the same, is that many Native Americans are ofJewish decent. So If you have Hapolgroup X DNA your of Jewish decent. If your A,B,C or D your not.
I’ve found that the Book of Mormon ties this together
While I greatly respect Dr. Jeanson's work, Is hard to reconcile his avoidance of the integral work of two well known 19th century surveyors / amateur archeologists ( archaeology was really non-existent in the 1830;s), Ephraim Squire and Edwin Davis. They diligently plotted out several dozens of earthworks and Mound structures, that testified of a sophisticated civilization in the heartland and centrally, in the Ohio area, pre-dating the Cahokia peoples.Because of their work, we have detailed documentation of several mound structures, that have since been destroyed and "buried".(looking at you US Corps of Engineers!)
IF you are of Iroquoian heritage, you will want to see/ listen to what Wayne May, and Rod Meldrum have discovered about the unusual DNA haplo group specific ONLY to the Algonquian and Iroquois peoples and from where that comes from. We are talking clear back to 600-800 BC ,of a people arriving in boats to the panhandle of Florida who migrated up to Ohio area along the "Great River". During the time of westward expansion, the mounds were so plentiful, that settlers and farmers, before they leveled the mounds for farmland, commonly dug up artifacts, and objects from them testifying of the history of a people that modern scientists have found it more convenient to ignore, rather than challenge the accepted dogma of pre-history America. You will be amazed. Look for Wayne May Rod Meldrum Heartland Model - also see you dot tube channel Michael P - for very clear presentation - I think maybe he presents better than Wayne, but defers to May's Heartland Model.
Dr. i am proud to inform you that I am 85 percent native american, but no knowledge of my ancestors. However your research is great and a light to my native/american heritage. Thank you!
I've been digging into what really was going on in North and South America in ancient times for a few years now. I truly believe many fled here in Biblical times and the truth has been covered up, destroyed and felt I've been spoon fed lies my whole life. Thank you for the hard work in getting these facts and information out there. This is hands down, my newly discovered and favorite channel. ..... absolutely amazing 🙏
I love this guys videos. I love history, and my mother's a geneologist. I like how he's referencing earlier works closest to the sources at their times, rather than some persons book based on another persons book. Just the fact that he's citing his research and not expecting people to just take him at his word is evidence that he is a true researcher.
When it comes to source material please think on this quote about two kinds of fool “This is old and therefore good. This is new and therefore better”. Point being, be sceptical and critical of both old and new sources, with historical records the older can be closer to the key time, but it’s a fallacy to equate older with more accurate.
@sjl197 yeah absolutely!
@@sjl197 I hear what you are saying and agree to critiquing all research material ….but, the closer the material is to the actual date of that history occurring is definitely taken into account and in many instances carries more weight as opposed to the more time that passes between the historical event and the recording of it lends itself to more “legend-making” and myth building so it tends to be less accurate.
that a perfect definition of the bible
Probably the most comprehensive history of the Native Americans during the Spanish conquest that I have ever heard! Thanks Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson. Your work is invaluable!
The earliest Spanish explorers reported vast numbers of people in North America. 70 years later European explorers found a mostly empty wilderness. The waves of disease that swept through North America must have been even more devastating than has been realized to date. Unrecognized because there was literally no one left to tell the tale of what happened.
8/10 people died, 9/10 in some areas. It was total population collapse, because even though only 3/10 died of disease, famine killed the rest. They just couldn't maintain society.
Disease did spread -- but not to the extent we are led to believe.
Conversely, disease was brought from America's back to Spain etc.
The main fall was interfighting between tribes and later Europeans.
Imagine hostile invaders carrying disease and parasites from their filthy cultures. There is nothing new under the sun.
Not true. His Story is all fake and a lie.
@@robmerrill3460 True. Several diseases from the New World made their way back to Europe. They just didn't have the devastating effect that Old World diseases had in the Americas.
In fighting between tribes and even fighting with Europeans doesn't account for the population crash. That happened after first contact but before Europeans were in the Americas in any numbers. The native Tribes and Nations had been just as fractious and warlike as anywhere else in the world from the beginning right up to contact with Europe and after. European, African, Asian, Indo Pacific regions didn't have a population crash like that and they were every bit as war ridden.
I wouldn't be surprised if archaeologists have done to native American artifacts what paleontologists have done to dinosaurs: separate them too much into too many groups based on the smallest minute differences ignoring similarities, because everyone wants to say they made a big discovery. (E.g., naming baby and adolescent dinosaurs as entirely new species.)
Yes, they all want to make a name for themselves and truth matters little. They make sure ALL points away from creation.
Dinosaurs? You mean, dragons?😊
One thing you need to take into consideration. During the time of the first Spanish explorer's, the grasslands of Texas extended far into northern Mexico. The desert of today that you see in south Texas and Mexico was lush, and covered with grasses. A few years back I remember reading an account from an early Spanish explorer describing the Chihuahuan desert as being covered in tall grass, and having bison grazing it. What you see today is the results of overgrazing, and poor land management.
that 's good news, as it means it can be restored, it can actually grow that grass back.
Love the work you are doing, Nathaniel, bringing light to this important history!
I am of Cherokee descent on both sides of my family and it goes back to the early 1805+ era! I would be glad to help with this research!
born and raised in alabama , moundville is on the black warrior river, but the moundville mounds are the burial mounds of giants. and the people you are looking for are the cherokee, they had the large east empire,in fact much larger than usually reported. they did allow others such as the likely related creeks to live on their land.
lynn967 Question: Did those Giants have 6 fingers & toes? If yes, they originated from the Nephalim who were a mix of evil angels who initially had forced sex with the women in the beginning… Genesis 6! Check it out. Blessings
Your research is a treasure,thank you.
I am so glad to hear about what you are doing! I’ve always said, why doesn’t anyone ask the Native tribes where they came from?!!! Why are they left out of their own telling of their history?!!!! This is awesome! Can’t wait to get updates on this! ❤
I remember reading in the accounts of the Lewis & Clark expedition, that they came across native peoples who described the great population and trade center called Kahokia, and that they traded freely with another great nation from the region of present day British Columbia called the Black Feet. Lewis & Clark came upon members of the Black Feet and described them in some detail. Amazing history! Keep up the great work!
I lived close to the Natchez Trace and drove it many times. It goes from Natchez MS to Nashville TN. It is worth driving, and do not exceed the speed limit, not even by 1MPH. There are some places where you can see parts of the original trail. I am sure it went further north. They must have had that region well controlled.
I love your work! My uncle teaches Mexican history, he’s got his doctrine and he’s gotta hear this, I hope he’ll give this to his students he works and lives in Asheville North Carolina but he’s originally from New Mexico, and he's of Mexican dissent. his name is Dr. Frank R. Tellez, I'd love for him to talk with you about this. He was married to my aunt so I’m not blood related to him
The school narrative is bull crap. You gotta use the real stuff from the real people!🎉
This is absolutely Incredible work you are doing! May God bless these endeavors as we learn what has been lost. ALL people and their histories are vitally important so we can better understand what joins us all together.
I live in Anadarko, Oklahoma. We are known as the Indian Capital of the Nation since more indian tribes are represented here than any where else in the country. I know, also, there are a great number of Cherokee around the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.
I'm giving this as general information hoping it will be of some use to you.
My great great grandmother on my mother's father's side was full blood Cherokee. I know it doesn't mean much to most but I claim it nonetheless.
Oklahoma was "Indian territory" until 1907.
I didn’t know Indians came from there 😆😆
I worked in Anadarko for a while, and the reason so many Natives live near there is because the BIA agency was located there. Natives flocked there because the agency handed out food and blankets (sometimes infected with disease).
Very interesting history. Having lived in Collinsville Illinois for over 30 years, Cahokia Mounds are in the it's city limits. I spent many hours walking the mound grounds and the surrounding area. Not well known is, there were small native camps many miles in all directions from Cahokia mounds where the people hunted, fished and gathered food to support the huge population at Cahokia.
I grew up in Amarillo Texas. Amarillo, being the Spanish word for yellow. I was told that it was because of the beautiful yellow prairie flowers that grew all over that area. It’s interesting to hear that that was listed in the account by those early peoples.
Texas has the prettiest wildflowers. I've lived all over the country, and TX tops them all.
I grew up in Borger TX there is lots of rich history of indigenous occupation in that area.
Poverty Point Louisiana is a World Heritage Archaeological Site because of this very topic. The findings suggest that the earliest North American “settlers” were there. Maybe even the first Western Hemisphere settlers!
The people there were not farmers, but they also were not nomadic. They were hunter gatherers in one place for over 600 years, some 3,400 years ago.
This is fascinating material. I have Tomahittan ancestry. There isn't much on the Tomahittans except what came from James Needham and especially Gabriel Arthur. My own Tomahittan ancestor came from the Tennessee Valley in the same region that it seems Needham and Arthur had gone. They were often confused with the Cherokee, but Gregory Waselkov identified them as speaking Hitichiti. According to Arthur, they were marauders who plundered villages up and down the Mississippi River as far north as present-day Ohio following any number of feeder rivers and even making forays into parts of modern-day Florida. So the capacity of any of these groups to travel was very good.
In light of this, I do wonder as to the contact that these groups had with people from the east coast of modern-day Mexico with regard to trade, intermarriage, or even migration.
"His side of the sun." Probably refers to the side of the equator they're on. So north and south. One Egyptian account describes how an expedition found themselves on the other side of the sun as they sailed down the coast of Africa.
Creationists actually have the bead on history. Very nice!
Interesting theory. I have visited Cahokia and Monks Mound from where one can see the St. Louis Arch towards the west. The Cahokia site is in Collinsville, Illinois. This site developed and flourished between the years of 1050 and 1350 which would make them contemporaneous with the Aztec and Mayan city states from the same period. The timelines unfortunately doesn't match the migrations you mentioned. Archeologists arrived at an estimate that Cahokia had been abandoned between 1350 and 1450. I am not an Anthropologist or Archeologist but I agree there are similarities in the way the site is laid out as compared to Mayan sites like Chacchoben.
More intriguing to me is if there was a connection with the much older site El Mirador and its people in Northern Guatemala and the people of Cahokia. El Mirador is now believed to be the largest pre-European city in North and South America. El Mirador preceded the Aztecs, Maya, and the Cahokia sites by at least one thousand years and covered an area of over 500 square miles with over 60,000 structures and may have had a population of over a million people. I look forward to more of your videos Dr. Jeanson.
There’s a bunch undiscovered in Peru and Chile that you can see from google maps I believe we came from south and we’re migrating up which is why the South Americans are much more populated than the northern tribes because passing the Aztec empire they pretty much become nomadic as to down south you see bigger civilizations
Sounds similar to what the People of One Fire RUclips channel says. Some ethnic groups that became part of the Creek alliance claimed to have been Mayan people who moved to the Georgia area after invaders started using their kids as sacrifices. They think that their people did some of the mound building in what is now Georgia.
I often think that he should collaborate with people like Richard Thornton and Chief Joseph River Wind. They are keepers of their history.
I am Choctaw, tribal member with traceable ancestry through the trail of tears. I would love to participate and learn more. I will sign up this evening.
Regarding part of what Dr. Jeanson proposes in this video as the pre-Columbian 'Natchez Empire' in the southeastern United States:
"The Old Natchez Trace is a historic forest trail within the United States which extends roughly 440 miles (710 km) from Nashville, Tennessee, to Natchez, Mississippi, linking the Cumberland, Tennessee, and Mississippi rivers. The trail was created and used by Native Americans for centuries.
Largely following a geologic ridge line, prehistoric animals followed the dry ground of the Trace to distant grazing lands, the salt licks of today's Middle Tennessee, and to the Mississippi River. Native Americans used many early footpaths created by the foraging of bison, deer, and other large game that could break paths through the dense undergrowth. In the case of the Trace, bison traveled north to find salt licks in the Nashville area.
After Native Americans began to settle the land, they blazed the trail and improved it further, until it became a relatively well-established path. Numerous prehistoric indigenous settlements in Mississippi were established along the Natchez Trace. Among them were the 2,000-year-old Pharr Mounds of the Middle Woodland period, located near present-day Tupelo, Mississippi.
Early European explorers depended on the assistance of Native American guides to go through this territory - specifically, the Choctaw and Chickasaw who occupied the region. These tribes and earlier prehistoric peoples, collectively known as the Mississippian culture, had long used the Trace for trade."

Very interesting info from the source you chose; if it’s pure truth.. Only The Triune God “The Creator of ALL”k
Is Fully Knowledgeable Absolutely 💯%
If you are ever near that area, you can travel the Natchez Trace Parkway that follows along the old trail and is maintained by the US National Park Service. On the nps website page /natr/index.htm are photos, information and a five minute video.
I live in St Louis Missouri, we went on a few field trips to the cahokia, Indian mounds and archaeological digs in Illinois… they have recently found mass graves of children that are believed to have been Sacrificed to the Corn Goddess, the Mounds are aligned with the Sun and stars, and once every 3 years there is an alignment…
This is so extremely interesting! I'm not native, but very curious and excited to know the history of the continent I'm from. We haven't really had ancient history, until now! I've always loved ancient history, and am so interested in this. This seems to me very well researched, I can't wait to listen again when you find out and put together more of this amazing history!
The Red Record is currently unavailable or ridiculously priced at over $500. I have been looking for a copy to add to my family library…as part of our collection of native resources. It’s frustrating how often the best sources of information that conflict with current political correctness is buried like this, effectively censored. As a family including Ogalala Lakota tribal members, it is unconscionable that historical records continue to be withheld from public access.
You might try looking it up on Internet Archive. It may be available as a free download since it should be part of the public domain by now.
Great video! I think you are unequivocally correct. Also, the Muskogee language shows a lot of cognates with itza maya totonac and nahautl witch is super interesting stuff to dig into. I had known the Mississippians were muskogee but I didn’t know how interesting the natchez people were!!! Never knew. Now tbh I am wordering who the hopewell people were or if there interaction sphere met with the Mississippian sphere. There are a lot of really interesting burial mounds in Ohio and Michigan and also a lot of cooper from the upper peninsula of Michigan was found in Mississippian mound in Georgia. Its called etowa. It appears to me the hopewell people must have had cultural contact with the Mississippian groups and it could have been very very early contact. I would suppose that the hurons and cherokees or the ho chunk were the decendents of the hopewell who did trade with those groups but it is very hard to tell. The hopewell mounds and circular earth enclosures span from halfway up the west coast of michigan all the way down into ohio and kentucky. Cherokee folk tales suggest they were the arbiters of that great nation and their migration stories match up with it but not much is actually known.
This was a brilliant educational video, very thought provoking.
My opinion on many of these enormous stone cities is that when the nomad tribes arrived in any given area, they found these cities covered in grass and trees, then they cleaned them up, restored them and inhabited the area. Then built their own great civilizations.
I once had a neighbor whose daughter was born with 6 fingers on each hand and 6 toes on each foot. 36 years ago I didn't realize that was a sign of the Nephilim.
annamineer2521 Yes! Thanks for your additional information. I’d learned this during BSF International Bible Study. Amen
Thoughtful and insightful presentation. Much Gratitude for your time and willingness to share while staying objective and respectfully requesting input from all interested ✌️❣️💫
The part where they mention there being so many birds they darkened the sky, reminds me of accounts during westward expansion by hunters who had the same experience. Fascinating!
My father was half French Canadian (his mothers side, Nova Scotia, Quebec) and my mother used to tell me he was French Indian. I’m supposing, if accurate, he would have been Iroquois. I wishI knew more about his lineage on that side of my family.
Possibly Mohawk from that area.
"French Indian" would likely mean that he was Metis. They trace their descent from a certain number of families.
I can't wait to watch the upcoming videos in this series. Incredibly fascinating.
You mentioned the Florida Keys as a possible location for the Isles that were described in the Natchez account. Don’t discount the Chandelier Islands off the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Geographically they are much closer to the Mississippi River valley.
Dutchsince has a video about odd findings in the Keys.
Read the Lewis lamore book Jubal Sackett.
It's the story of someone in the 1700s traveling west of the Mississippi and some of the native peoples he meets.
There is a group whose leader is called the great son and they are headed west in the book with their eternal fire.
Louis L'Amour tried to base his books on as much fact as possible and if you haven't read it I know you will enjoy it
Tubal was apparently in Italy as well. Later on the Semitic I paternal haplogroup moved into Europe as well while the rest are R1a and R1b descendants of Gomer.
Mixed Cherokee and Scots/English here, my father's family came from West Virginia, Christian by adoption.
everyone who's christian is " by adoption". we all have to accept christ individually and many had no christian upbringing. All of us came from people who at some time were pagans. If you go back far enough.
@@cobainzlady Of course you are right.
Back in my highschool days, I did take an American History class and enjoyed it and agree, if it isn't taught in today's highschools, it should be.
I’m 4th generation Iroquois (at least) my great grandfather came from Tonawanda, NY he was the last member of our family to have grown up on that reservation.
I grew up in Arkansas, and this got me thinking about what was formerly known as the Toltec Mounds. They say they were built around 600 A.D., and abandoned around the year 1050 A.D.. Now they have changed the name to the Plum Bayou Culture, because they don't believe the Toltecs or Aztecs were responsible for them. Not so sure now.
Great video. Thank you so much. May God bless your work!
I have been to the mounds of Illinois and serpent mound in Ohio. I have also seen Poverty point showing people here in the time of Christ. I’m not Indian but I love the Indian people and study their history. I guess I would call me a pioneer.
Very interesting. Definitely didn't learn most of this in school. Thank you very much.
The Smithsonian admitted to destroying the skeletons from the Mound Builder civilization. Prior to this admission, officials at the Smithsonian were quoted in saying that the skeletons didn't exist, because if they did they would have challenged the status quo of Darwinistic academia.
Never heard of this. humm?

Hi Nagaland from southern New Zealand ❤
My mother grew up in Nagaland in the 1930's. Spoke Khasi and cooked authentic Indian vegetarian foods. Wonderful.

Hi Nagaland and Southern new Zealand, from west Papua Indonesia ❤️
You are a researcher powered by the Holy Spirit!! Hallelujah!
Adding to the descriptions contained in The Red Record and in this Video, one small piece of what rings with authenticity is from a vary different source - that of a German Officer in North Africa as part of the Africa Corp, and he describes the Bedouin Peoples who were largely nomads, as knowing just where to dig and create temporary wells, and that groups of Bedouin would also carry their crop seed with them and plant crops when stopped - and after the crops matured and were harvested, they could fill in their water source and move on to other locations. The original Indian Tribes West and NW of the Aztec Empire Indians, migrating out of the Aztec general area to escape the ruin and the Spanish enslavement, moved into what is now Southern Texas and across the coastal areas of the present Southern Gulf States, to eventually form the Creek Nation, and along the way in this movement of many years they also stopped and planted corn and other crops, like the Bedouin did.
typical nomadic life style. But, guess what. the SW natives maybe the Hopi or other tribe, whose women wear those side buns. They are exactly like women of certain North African tribe 's hairstyle. Also other aspects of thier lives.
History just gets more fascinating.
There is a book that is an ancient record of the principal ancestors of the native Americans ! You have to seek it out if you want to know .
At the very beginning of this, I suspected the Natchez tribe had much to do with this. I lived in Natchez, MS for quite a while and not a whole lot is known about these peoples as they pretty much disappeared. I would suspect that the best source of information on this tribe would be from Dr. Charles Borum. I don't have contact info for him, but he does practice there and should be easy to find.
By the way, the Natchez tribe were mound builders. Emerald Mound is still open to view a few miles north of the town.
Bless you and your outstanding work. This is exactly the type of research that Christians should be doing. My knowledge of Native American history is very limited, but I know this history is important because I see so many US and Mexico place names that are words from tribes or tribal languages.
The book of the Mormon is an interesting read!
False prophecy!!! Run away!!!
It’s a compelling piece of the historical puzzle covering from 600bc to 400ad. Regardless of weather you believe it is a religious text, it’s worth a read if you’re trying to understand the origins of the Native American people.
@@leechjim8023scientists, and reasoning people in general, don’t run away from a potential piece of historical evidence and especially not from something of potential religious value. They look at it, evaluate it, and come up with their own estimate.
@@leechjim8023 have you read it?
A fascinating work of pure fiction.
This is fascinating! I like your approach. How can we learn anything unless we listen first and then analyze and compare? Along with DNA, I'm looking forward to learning more.
good to see your breadth of knowledge on such an interesting topic!
Love the DNA aspect!!! Did my sweethearts DNA because I knew he was more than half Native….. everyone always assumes he is an Islander. I questioned how much Native because how tall he is. He told me 😂everyone from his town is tall. I was surprised at that. Later met an anthropologist from the Southwest US who claims that there were ancient tribes in North America that have since been wiped out but remnants of their DNA are in some remaining tribes and indicators would be the height of some of the tribal members, tall 6ft plus. I was surprised at her answers but quickly realized how knowledgeable she was when she answered (correctly) some questions my girlfriend was asking her about a tribe near Happy Camp (Northwest US) my friend is a member of that tribe and the anthropologist didn’t miss a beat. My friend said no one with any book learning has ever got her questions right but this anthropologist did. Can’t wait to hear the DNA outcomes! We are cheering you on!!!!
This is one program that makes so much sense, and is very easy to understand, and appreciate the good that the information can give to so many peoples find their own answers to their ancestorial roots .
Thanks much and Blessings.
I think my main concern about the historical account from the Creek is that it flies in the face of other historical evidence we have as it concerns the Spanish and Aztecs. Even though the Spanish had superior technology, their numbers were insignificant and they would have easily been overwhelmed by the might of ther Aztec Empire. The Creek's account comes across to me as someone who was an allie of the Aztec and was trying to place all the blame on the Spanish. If they were part of the conflict, they would have come across warriors from other tribes way more than the Spanish and guns.
Will be buying the booked tracked soon! Very interesting information in these videos
I live near De Soto, Wisconsin. The Spanish explorer was said to have come this far up the Mississippi river and the cannons from his ship are said to lay at the bottom of the river near the city that bears his name.
I lived in Red River, NM for 5 years! It was awesomely beautiful & the Red River ran right through town! ❤😊
Look up the Kennewick man. He was discovered when some shore was washed away. He is believed to come before the current natives we now know. The fear was that the local tribes may lose government funding. So they made a big issue out of him being found and had him reburied and concrete poured over the top. It was a massive discovery when I was a teen.
I found an article in Seattle Times that scientists were finally able to match some of his DNA with the Colville Tribe.
In 2016.
Scientists say the skeleton is 9000 years old. I take that for what it's worth. Just sharing what I found. Thanks.
heatherjohnson1569 Interesting! Thanks for sharing 😮sounds like Nephalims joined the tribe? They were brought in the beginning of The Bible!
Columbia River near Kennewick, WA.
I live near. Cahokia mounds,almost within eyesite.
It's the oldest city in north America.
This place is absolutely amazing.
We still find arrowheads all the time.. some people's hobby of collections include thousands
I heard it said that cherokee come from south America and they even used to hunt with blow darts. I cant remember where i heard this tho it was a long time ago. I am not cherokee i am from the North west coast. Tsimshian. I love to study history especially the history of my ancestors.
I grew up in Illinois and believe I can understand why Cahokia was the site for trade and the growth of the area by Native Americans. I spent many hours on the water fishing the waters in and around Illinois. If you look at the location of Cahokia, you are not too far away the Ohio River, you also have the Illinois River and Missouri River which dumps into Mississippi River. The Illinois River to the North just south of Peoria, Il the Spoon River dumps into it. The Spoon River is navigable by canoe. The area I lived in was home to part of the Potawatomi Tribe. A lady I know grew in the area and would sit while her dad farmed and dig into the hill side and collect arrowheads. Her childhood home was about five miles from where I lived, the area was very hilly and a manmade lake was built in the 1970's, the lake was feed by several creeks. On a hillside many arrowheads were found, which most believed was the perfect site to have water available from the creek that feed though the valley. I don't claim to be an expert of Native Americans, but I do feel Cahokia was the perfect place to bring all the tribes together for trading and talks among the elders.
Arrowheads to me might suggest more than talking was happening here. Maybe a contested area?
Dr Jeanson, I'd like to refer you to the Book of Mormon and the works of Wayne May, an archeologist. This city of Cahokia is described in the Book of Mormon as Zarahemla. Many of the ancient North Americans were Christians. Wayne May has done tremendous work in discoving how these ancient peoples were the decendents of the people described in the Book of Mormon.
I believe Cahokia came after the time of Zarahemla, and that Wayne May believes it was in the area of Nauvoo. Also, I believe the Doctrine and Covanants states the same. My understanding was that Cahokia was built by a people who came from Mexico. It has been awhile since I researched this.
@@teresawhitney3387 You are correct and I stand corrected.
It is all pretty fascinating! It will be really interesting to find out where the Book of Mormon lands really are. However, I love what Wayne May says
The University of Alabama press has a book called a history of the Osage people. It describes a suing tribe, migrating from the East Coast through Cahokia and out onto the prairie. Lotta good information there that would tie a lot of your Loose Ends together.
would be very interesting to get you and Wayne May to collaborate on origin stories and timelines. you may be able to assist each other on whom the ancients were and connect places in the stories as his info has a great deal of geographic intuition. Adena culture and Cahokia culture...
If he finds out Wayne May's religious affiliation....hoo boy!
@@vendingdudes i was hoping we were past the flat earth days when ones religion was threatened or used to support/denigrate thought. i am hopeful that we are now at a time where science can support faith by finding truth.
My GG grandma said through the family, she was Powhatan, who migrated from VA through generations, to Kentucky. They were the chief line, and integrated into the Cherokee Nation, of Kentucky. Cherokee, means walking people, they were refugees of trauma. They shared a common tongue which is best equates to how Latin was used in Europe.
also notice each story they arrived at the mounds which were already there, the mounds are very old and none of these peoples bult them, they set up civilizations around them
I think we've been lied to on a lot of our history, im glad you are coming out and doing this
A cliff hanger??? Wow!! I can't wait!!
Thank You! I have Enjoyed this GREATLY. I hope you will be able to stick with this, and grow THIS more and MORE!
Getting closer… the hopewell are the nephites (Israelites) and the adena are the jaredites from, let’s just call it “The Blue Record,” also known as The Book of Mormon. You said it yourself, “Let’s hear it.” I respect that approach!
Amen to that!!!!!
Prove that claim. Just finding an organized people group in America doesn't make it a specific people group told about in a book.
@@blusheep2 A basic internet search will provide ample evidence to take the “blue record” seriously, just as much if not more so than the red record. The parallels between the people and timelines in the archaeological record in the heartland of America are mind blowing. Groups like “Answers in Genesis” and others not at all affiliated with the LDS religion are doing the work for us. The way Mr. Jeanson and many others are leaving no stone unturned means things will start to move very quickly now. Be patient, it will get there. As I mentioned before, it’s certainly compelling enough to take the record seriously. Give it a try.
@@blusheep2...... you should delve into it and see what is there.
@@aisaxonawiat6484 I think I have but I'm always open to new information. I'm in the middle of reading the BoM. Almost through Alma... what a long book. Wish they had split it up so I would feel like I was making progress. In the book of Alma it mentions swords and scimitars, chariots, swords that are washed bright, synagogues, the word "faith" and a distinctly Latin name Antipas.
Can I find any of those relics at the Hopewell locations? Or in the Americas for that matter?
In my view (35 min and 33 seconds on the video) the eastern coast was on the Gulf of Mexico side and the western coast was the pacific side. Knowing their geography that the coasts were roughly parallel, the Suns rule extended up one coast (gulf side) and the ancients extended up the pacific side much farther in latitude or coastal distance. Don’t forget how intelligent these people were.
Great work by the way. I enjoy you research findings.
Great River may have also been the Rio Grande, it used to be much broader and early steam ships could transit in it.
Another fascinating video. Thanks
Very interesting topic. I enjoy learning the history of North American culture.
In WA state, there are a plethora of place names from Native Americans. The name "NATCHEZE" with variant English spellings is used often
I wonder if the Natchez were the Mayans who were pushed out by the Uto-Aztecan group sweeping down from the North.
There is a book "Dweller of two planets" by Oliver that covers much of this ancient, undocumented history. The book is essentially channeled information. It was written in there late 19th century and accurately discusses a number of different topics that were not known at that time, but later were found to be accurate. For example, it discusses a great population in South America with many cities connected by water ways and roads. Only within the last ten years has LIDAR proven this statement to be true. It also discusses how the grand canyon was turned in a very short period of time, not over centuries due to glacial effects as generally accepted, but recently a new theory suggests the same. Many more such trivial, yet accurate accounts of North America are documented which makes the story seem very credible. In short, it says survivors from Atlantis colonized North and South America before and after the Great flood. The Inca, which he says means " children of the sun" , went to South America. The chiefs, priests, were also called Inca, the sun, so dinner very familiar verbage. While there is nothing in this book that could be used in an academic research paper, it does seem to discuss in detail many accounts of these immigrants we know as native Americans. You may find some relevant information to help further your research.
I recommend reading the Book of Mormon for detailed history
One issue I have is the lithic materials do not match up to the account that the Creeks migrated from Mexico. Arrowheads etc will still need to be found along the migration route IMO to make this a firm conclusion.
