Fascinating subject. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have always been interested in the coastal tribes who lived along the coastline and rivers here. The amazing society built on harvesting foods from the ocean. The people who lived here built huge ocean going canoes that were things of beauty. The woodworking skills of these people are incredible. I’ve watched native carvers working at the provincial museum in Victoria carving totem poles and other items.
I have not yet been to the Pacific Northwest, but I have seen photography and exhibits of the woodworking on totem poles and canoes. Thanks for watching!
Yes the round sweatlodges and homes that were sunken into the earth built from redwood are Damm near perfect.. it's just such an fukèd atrocity that banding militias of men up and decided or were paid handsomely to organize these death and genocidal warparties up and down from my knowledge the North Bay Of Marin CTy, CA all the way up the coast at least five different organized militia of men strapped with Melee wepons such as hatchets so not to disturb the Aboriginal Men who throughout the North Coast of California were away at hunt gathering for there Annual Renewel Ceremony so each main salmon gathering river mouth from S.Fork of the Eel then the N.Fork up to the Matteel the Mad river then onto Klamath murdering strictly women children and elders all silently so to be ready to catch the men off guard and drag them into local prisons or lining them up. This entire historical event was to be exposed by a man named Bret Harte who did the right thing and published the account in the San Francisco newspaper, but sadly it was too late ancient lineages and pastimes would be destroyed forever. The Wooley island Massacre, Humboldt County California. A peaceful non waring coastal peoples horrificly basically genocided just over 100years ago
I do agree that the population was much larger than Americans may have been told in the post expansion era. Graham Hancock extensively covers this in one of his books. Certainly the South American Amazon is filled with massive cities as many parts of Central America is as well. Those nations were wiped out by the Spanish though those nations were also post earlier nations lie the Olmec and others which means that the Spanish wiped out nations that had also wiped out previous nations. The North American continent would have also had large pre-European cities as demonstrated by the Moundbuilders but it doesn't appear the North American pre-European population was as large as the Central and Southern Americas was. Plus, the North American populations that existed when the Europeans arrived weren't the original population just like the Central and South Americans.
Natives are people like anyone...some peaceful some warriors...some sided with The Brits 1776...some kept slaves including rival tribes...no better or worse than Europeans
This is exactly the video I wanted to find after watching the 1565- & 1700- videos. Awesome information. Would love to see more, maybe Canada focus? Ha, cheers!
Great videos I enjoy your informative videos. I live in Michigan and always have found the history of the state very fascinating and how it was such a key role in building this country. One particular topic which you might be Interested in researching is the copper Mining of the state and how far back it goes even to Native American trade And usage. Not sure where I Might have read or heard that copper Was found in Europe in bronze age tools that Was scientifically found to come from the copper in Michigan. Also thoughts and ideas on Oak Island history have followed that since I was a boy. Keep up the good work look forward to seeing future videos.
Great job dude on the video, U d i d an amazing job spotlighting some of the sometimes less talked about but so important and revolutionary components of the AmericaS I like how u just lay it on out there mydude. You can tell your videos r coming from an original, well an angle that's yours and urs only so many out here i find be jocking eachothers nuts and whatnot. PROPS AGAIN to ya, keep doing you bro.
Very informative Jeff, thank you! Do you have any book or reading recommendations for north eastern United States, specifically the Pittsburgh region on native American culture/dwellings?
Yes. Some good ones are: 1) The Moundbuilders by Milner 2) Circular Villages of the Monongahela Tradition by Means 3) Native Americans' Pennsylvania by Richter 4) The Iroquois by Snow Go Penguins!
.I don't think the Europeans saw the Indians as technologically advanced because they didn't have the level of technology the Europeans already had. Also, the Europeans knew how to farm they just had more difficulty doing so in the Americas because they had to start from scratch, clear forests, plant and harvest crops which took a few years to become establish farms and as such they mostly starved the first few years during which time they did need the Indians assistance with a steady supply of food. As for European shoes they were sturdier and lasted much longer than moccasins as is still the case today which is why Americans still to this day prefer European developed style shoes to moccasins.
I have a question. I recently came across the idea that the Irish potato famine was a result of a London based laboratory that engineered this famine. In other words the famine was done on purpose because the English wanted to kill off the Irish. Just like they wanted to do the same thing to Scotland - to grow the english empire. Do you think there could be some truth here?
So what? Technological progress isn't linear, it is born out of a society's material conditions. They also didn't have animal agriculture the same way Europe and Asia did, but they did have a sophisticated understanding of earth's motion in the sky, sophisticated architecture, and pretty spectacular plant agriculture.

I love learning about this time in history. I have a feeling I'll really like that book (1491).
They grew corn on sides of mounds and it grow like weeds everywhere, they used fire to clear then grow it everywhere
1481 and 1493 are fascinating books. I saw 1491 reviewed in the Wall Street Journal and checked it out
1491 is an excellent summary of information on America before Columbus.

Millions of natives were here , every river , bay , everywhere they had cities everywhere we have them now
100s of millions of Americans and they had cities everywhere we have cities now
I believe every highway we built was built over the native trails
Natives are people like anyone...some peaceful some warriors...some sided with The Brits 1776...some kept slaves including rival tribes...no better or worse than Europeans
Corn grew so good they had it growing like weeds everywhere
AMAZING insight about corn...N'yawęh.

Excellent! I really recommend the book 1491. An interesting one about the southwest is "Chaco Merdian."

Great education you are providing!!
Much appreciated!
Just look at how many Spanish missions were in Florida

are groups that practice child sacrifice civilized? It is not just about numbers.

Corn, tomatoes? That's all you got?
The Native Americans didn’t even have a wheel! Jeepers!,….think for yourself.
We had wheels. Jeez.

@@meatrace They had no gunpowder, so not "sophisticated" enough I guess. Pretty much sums it up.
egyptian neither, yet they built the pyramids
