I'm Indigenous i grew up on a foster farm in Ponteix Saskatchewan. In the spring times I worked the freshly plowed fields, walking in front of the tractor picking up rocks big enough to wreck the seeder machine. Placing them in the front loader. I would occasionally find arrow heads and stone rocks that looked like they had been used as tools. I made a small pile. I was 6, 7, 8 years old. I was moved to another farm and lost the rocks I found. As a child i would think about the stones I found. I got comfort from Arrow heads knowing my people were at the same place I was at an earlier time. That i wasn't alone. I know it was wrong what they did to me, but i wouldn't have experienced a lot of different amazing things in my life if I was raised on a reservation. I was in the '60s scoop, thanks, Royal Howlett.
Hugs I'm very sorry for what my people did to your people I grew up not racist but some older family members still were I have opened their eyes over the years in sevral ways many had a change in heart I'm glad you had some good experiences and I'm very glad your ansestors found a way for you to feel not alone I'm glad you listened Much love
I was an Anthropology student at McMaster University in the early 1970s. I wrote a paper on the Sheguiandah site over 50 years ago! It’s great to see how things have progressed.
This OP is 100% able to refute the previous original comment made by an Ancient Aliens fanatic. That idiot is 1 of the right wing looney toons who think all authorities are liars who are "out to get us" and are "hiding the truth". What a bunch of crazies! I sure wish all channels would delete their idiotic comments! Their presence makes it near impossible for us real history buffs to find the truly relevant comments, or to have a conversation. The way those morons fill up the comment sections of all history viideos is terribly unfair to the rest of us! Whenever we see them with their bullshit ranting about scientists and archeologists we need to report them for misinformation. Every single 1 of them!
Extremely touching, we don't realise how much we owe to these ancient people, we are here because they found a way to survive and pass the exercise of survival to us.
Thx for lettings us endure complete misery and suffering. Yeah owe? More like blame. Stop having children. Why I don't have kids ? I don't want my loved ones to have to go through half the hell I have..
Survive - that's the Key word. Surviving is some times Starving and enduring Pain and Disease. Imagine cutting down a tree with a Rock!? Or to boil something, you have to heat rocks in a fire and then put those ash covered rocks in to a Hide Pot !. Life would have truly sucked to Survive. Most people Don't Remember what it was Really Like back then. Rewriting history is the thing Today!
My great grandfather unearthed a Paleo Eskimo Maritime Archaic Rama Chert projectile point. It has zero faults and is translucent. The museum I loaned it to years ago estimated it to be between 5-6000 years old. I would like to bring it back to the Labrador Innu but I am a senior on a pension and could never afford the trip from Ontario. I hope my son will be able to take the responsibility for this. Very interesting video, thank you.
Anishinaabe dude here living in Wiikwemkoong! I'm originally not from this area, but I've lived in Wiky for almost my whole life and I've always been so fascinated with my rez neighbors at Sheguiandah. The amount of history in the area is absolutely mindblowing, and I always feel so proud to see these glimpses into the past, even if this area is not where my ancestors are from. The Lake of the Woods area has a very similar historical and cultural record; there's petroglyphs, rock paintings, and an indescribable amount of unexplored sites strewn around the area waiting to be documented and preserved. This makes me feel so glad that I'm here in Ontario, and that I've always been here. Gichi-miigwech!
We live in GA and find huge arrowheads, axes, spear points and even giant shark teeth on the banks of the Savannah river around Augusta (especially when the water is low) but there are many other places where the ground is littered with more recent artifacts as well. Let's work to learn all we can. Let's welcome new discoveries and not try to hide them. It's so important to know the past because it is essential for being ready for the future. Our ancestors were so much more skilled than we've been told. Each find is like a time machine. It's simply amazing to see so far back in time but we also have SO MUCH more to learn about things that happened not so long ago also. I'm excited to hear each new wrinkle in time. Great video.
The phosphate mine here in north Florida turned up a fist sized piece of mammoth ivory. The young man who found it was excited to show off his find, tho he didn't know what it was. Only when I looked at the broken end was I able to see the growth rings, like tree rings. The piece was the deep black associated with fossils. The truly amazing thing was how heavy it was, for being the size of my fist it weighed more than 2 kilos, nearly 5 pounds
It's quite astonishing how far people travelled. There is a very important archeological site on the Ottawa River not far from where I live which was used as a "toll station" by the people who controlled it going back thousands of years. Basically to pass, you paid a toll. That was one of their gigs. They have evidently found stone implements on that site which come from the Ohio River Valley and I believe they found artifacts in the Yukon which were traced to that site on the Ottawa River. These people travelled thousands of kilometers across some of the most forbidding land on the continent.
I had just been watching a few videos from people who find all types of fossils and rocks, just like you said! So many bones or teeth I wouldn't have even known until he pointed out the spinal discs then I could see them everywhere, before that they just looked like rocks. Oh, and GORGEOUS country side!!
Wow! As valuable as the Osidian and Obsidan trade was to the Black Sea region down to the Mediterranean region. This documentary is a true contribution to all of us, thank you.
Yeah look up Alibates Flint here in Texas. Its been found at sites up in Michigan. It is gorgeous and it shows they were advanced enough trade wise to be able to move from northern tip of Texas all the way to Michigan.
@@SamtheIrishexan in my part of the world, a archeological complex was developed due to the deep stratification of stone tools, and the fact that unique patterned tools and specific chert types were found in multiple areas. Proving the early people here were travelling or trading with people of considerable distance away. I've found ancient points, and I've also used material out of my local area to make my own stone points. Thanks for sharing your story.
awesome ! I'm getting very interested in learning to knap. also have found many artifacts here in the northeast do you have any learning videos possible you could recommend either your own or other people's It would be greatly appreciated . Some of the materials used here in NH was quarts rhyolite and argillite there are a couple of spots known to archeologists that the people quaried thousands of years ago.
@@lifeaccordingtogizzmoroncu9721 Hello, I came across this channel some while ago and it's actually a website too that has lots of knapping materials, tools, and instructions. If you are determined, a decent set of knapping tools can be made up fairly easily too. Getting the stone suitable for knapping is the hardest part unless you live near a natural source of it, like I do 🙂. Other than this one called Hunt Primitive there is another you could search for called Paleo tracks with Donny Dust. Great source of stone point information. He dresses the part too let me mention. youtube.com/@huntprimitive9918?si=oJ1CGhD4phN9FwTV
A site like Sheguiandah is a rare gem. The implications of such ancient human activity in Canada could lead to a major paradigm shift in our understanding of prehistoric cultures.
I have long believed that the land bridge was not the route into the Americas, rather that boats were used. By skirting the ice pack they would have access to food and a refuge from bad weather.
@@ScottyBennitone People should be able to choose what they are called, and in Canada the word "indigenous" is one the most favored terms, along with "The First Nations". If you don't like it that's too bad.
What a great piece! This should be on TV! Thanks for putting this together. You have created a lifestyle that I dreamed about, doing my best to create our little homestead in WV.
Just a few days ago, my husband found a gorgeous arrowhead in a new field of ours. We live on an old farm on 100 acres bordering a river. An archaeologist a few years ago, told us what we find is prehistoric, meaning very old. My favorite find is a little round cooking stone. They heated them in a fire, then added them to liquid to heat it. I never walk this ancient land without thinking about those who were here long ago.
@@brigsmith949 After talking to our state archeologist, she assured us that what we find here scattered on the river, is no longer in situ, and therefore removing them does no harm. About three miles upriver, there is a village site. It is wrong to disturb anything there as each artifact’s placement could contain clues about the inhabitants.
@@karmaleenash2841 also bad luck i always throw them into the river so no one takes them from where they rest. guy on the same river has the biggest collection in canada he died at 40 randomly, just a thought
I'm from Toronto, on a school class hike, the teacher walked us through a farmers field. I looked down by chance and found a spear head. It was in the Bruce peninsula. That was 50 yrs ago. Always wanted to learn the art. Never too late.
@1 That would make a good follow-up video. He did say that the site was likely abandoned when better alternatives like iron became available for tools, meaning trade goods from white settlers. I think that I've read that few native people were living on Manitoulin Island later, but that may be after the settlers came in and cut down most of the trees. I have visited Manitoulin often and wondered what it was like before settlement. Very different, obviously.
I'm from this region. It's fascinating seeing how the rocks I grew up around were used. Edit: I'm from Sudbury, spent a decent amount of time exploring Manitoulin Island & Killarney. Amazing landscapes, with the most peaceful atmosphere.
As a young Archaeology student I got to spend a few months making an archaeological survey of Killarney park during the mid-70's. An absolutely beautiful area. Our base was in Sudbury.
@MikeJones-vb1me Northern Ontario has very little enforcement of any "rules" to be honest. The Provincial motto is "Yours To Discover". Perhaps the specific archeological sites where artifacts have been discovered are under some form of protection. However, the La Cloche Mountain range & Niagara Escarpment on Manitoulin Island are littered with piles of these types of rock all over the place. If you were to do The Crack or Cup And Saucer trails, you would come across many piles of loose rock of these sorts. I never found any artifacts, but I was never aware they used these rocks for tool making until I saw this video!
I would suggest approaching the band(s) on whose land it is on. They may be able to get some for you. If you just want the type of rock not specific to that area surely it's found other places.
I'm sure you been told before about the way you communicate. This is my opinion: the speed, the tempo of your commentary has a great balance. Soft spoken, very clear and easy to follow. something that is very much appreciated by people who has a different first language. ,😁 It is. My oh my, you would be great on tv.
@@scottlanghorst1483 No wonder they never replied! That line of bullshit is a complete pack of lies. Stop watching videos by the Ancient Aliens crowd, Graham Hancock, Brien Foerster, Eric Von Danikan, and the other charlatans. Their thinking is "Why should I waste 10 years getting a PHD, when I can just make stuff up? It's SO MUCH EASIER! And this way I can get rich quick!" Stick to the videos made by reputable organizations, like accredited universities and organizations. And try reading an actual book for once. One by a real expert. Not one about somebody's pack of lies.
@@scottlanghorst1483...their point very closely resemble the bi-facial points found at Clovis. A point was found on the east coast that also resembles the clovis style projectiles
@@scottlanghorst1483 let's examine the evidence... The Clovis culture and knapping style is found across North America. Was considered technologically superior to its contemporaries of the time period. The Solutrean style of knapping and tool sets are identical to Clovis. They have traced Solutrean tools found in the Basque country, to quarries on the East Coast of the Americas. The language of the Basque people (Solutreans) does not have ties linguistically to any language in Europe. Their language does share words with Native American tribes though. The largest population centers for Basque people, outside of the Basque country, are northern Nevada and southern Idaho. Those people are returning to their homeland. After the great flood pushed them out of North America, they migrated to Europe and established a colony in the area between Spain and France called the Basque country. The mainstream migration story of these cultures are presented backwards. There is more evidence of this reverse migration in other cultures as well. The Ainu people of northern Japan are the original samurai and are completely different genetically than the Jomon culture of the rest of the island. Their knapping style and tool sets have been found on the Idaho side of the Snake River in an area known as Coopers Ferry. These are the oldest known artifacts in North America. The Nez Perce (Nimi'ipuu) tribe of Idaho, Oregon and Washington also possessed evidence of a reversed migration. When a legendary Chief of the Nez Perce surrendered to the U.S. Army he presented General Howard with a stone tablet as a peace offering. It was known as the "mystery glyph" as no one at the time could identify the cuneiform it was written in. Chief Joseph said, it was handed down through his family for many generations and was a gift from the people who once dominated the region. It wasn't until 1963, with the discovery of Göbekli Tepe that the mystery glyph had a known origin. The mystery glyph tablet that had been passed down for generations was written in Sumerian cuneiform. The oldest known site of civilization in Europe. 😮 Some little known history I thought I would share with you (and anyone reading this). Fact check this information...you can't make this stuff up 😂
In September 2021, U.S. Geological Survey researchers and an international team of scientists announced that ancient human footprints discovered in White Sands National Park were between 21,000 and 23,000 years old
Plenty of Ancient sites in the Americas blow up this "indigenous" bullshit meme.. in addition if it's so hot today, why are the seashores on this island well above today's levels??
@LAB71 Not anymore. Recently, fossils of terrestial plants inside the footprints were dated and luminescence data was collected from samples of the footprints that confirm the dates. They're 20,000 years old. The science is clear. The mythology around Native Migrations, not so much.
The age of the footprints opens up new areas of research, so the "debate" is actually "We don't know how they got here, and we have no other evidence." Then we can test theories of how they could have been there so early and look for other evidence. This is a great time for archeology! We have DNA and LIDAR etc. to help us out.
Very interesting video would like to see more videos like this.amazing early manufacturing site and Hardest to think and to know is that they didnt have safety glasses to protect eyes from stray flakes flying up..the artistry in these handmade tools are amazing to see.💙🇺🇲🇨🇦
Yeah! A good rendering of history Only that the Anglo World love their lagacy but they don't want them among them, they do the same everywhere they rule they decimate them they want them extinct Like dinosaurs, América, Australia, New Zesland, Hawaii, Africa,, is not glorious! Inglorious bastards 😮
Thank you for this most interesting presentation . One of my friends was from Gore Bay on Manitoulin..so my interest was spiked when Manitoulin was mentioned ...and my passion for archeology.
Glad you liked it! Drop by my website baileylineroad.com for a visit sometime. You'll find lots of stuff there, including tool giveaways, articles and lots of other stuff of interest to hands-on, how-to people. Bye for now and thanks for watching! Steve
Thank you so much for the marvelous background as you walk us through this beautiful park marked with spellbinding art and informative plaques. I'm fascinated by archaeology and native culture and really appreciate the experts that contributed to this video.
West Asia was named after Zeus' mistress - Europ - 600AD.. ..All Humans Are African. people evolved in Africa, from one common ancestor, a couple hundred thousand yrs ago Over time, some people walked out of Africa and spread across the world. The branches of the family that spent thousands of years in colder places without a lot of sun … eventually they lost much of their melanin and turned a bunch of different shades, depending on the conditions where they were. … the king of Portugal had hired Zurara to write a biography of the king’s uncle - Infante Henrique … better known as Prince Henry the Navigator -1st major to exclusively enslave & trade continental Writing in 1453, Zurara chronicles & glorifies Prince Henry’s voyage, a decade before. In describing resulting slave auction back in Portugal, in 1444…Zurara lumped together different-looking captives So Zurara portrayed slavery as an improvement over freedom in Africa, where, he wrote, “They lived like beasts.” They “had no understanding of good, but only knew how to live in bestial sloth.” Zurara’s writings were widely circulated among the elite in Portugal…& their ideas about continental Africans…led the way as human trade expanded among west Asian countries like Spain France & England west Asian Africans [post Zeus' mistress Europ] slave traders [military order of Christ] commissioned the invention of this sort of codified racist idea, of Black people [from south of the Sahara, Africa] 1450s - pink-beige west Asian European Africans fashioned 1682 white in the colonies that became US ruclips.net/video/CJdT6QcSbQ0/видео.html In 1682 … the first legislative body in colonial America The Virginia House of Burgesses passed a law limiting citizenship to Europeans - making all non-Europeans - “Negroes...” aka in English "BLACKS" as the law put it - quote, “slaves to all intents and purposes.” the 1682 law included the first documented use in the English-speaking colonies of the word “white” [vs English European or Christian] to describe [brown to lightest pink-beige west Asian Africans aka Europeans] considered full citizens. Racism is racial prejudice that has been incorporated into the activities and procedures of major institutions, corporations, social systems (such as those related to housing, education, and health), and other arenas of major social activity (such as politics, the media, finance, and banking) Racism serves both to discriminate against ethnic minorities and to maintain advantages and benefits for west Asian Africans colonial government invented "White" Americans ~ descendants of mt-MRCA -- darkest brown to lightest pink-beige All living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers, & through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman -- mitochondrial eve we became a species ranging from the darkest brown to the lightest, pink-beige, and everything in between … shades of brown with an array of yellowish and reddish tinges
not even that!... we call ''History'' the part of the past that is recorded, and written by contemporary historians... everything before that is not ''History'' but Pre-History... and is blurred by theories... that's just a theory... nothing proven or recorded... an assumption... a wish to be... the Americas were Free of humans... until the Asians invaded from the North in several waves... the turms ''indigenous'' and ''native'' are incorrect...
@@user-McGiveragreed on those two words... which is why Canada's use of the term "First Nations" makes a bit more sense, although is still a bit fuzzy... as in the first nations here that we're aware of; obviously not the first ones to have existed there.
@@user-McGiver The ignorance and expression manifest destiny of your comments are troubling and insulting to the peoples who where here first. You discount the theories expressed in the documentary then try to prove your point by expressing yet another theory. Nothing you said is scientifically proven nor relevant unless you're a published and peer reviewed scientist in this field. Which I highly doubt.
My dad recently got into flint knapping with antlers and stones. My Dad and I are traditional bow hunters. So he’s super into the old knowledge of life and hunting.
clovis culture is a racist myth used to rationalize war crimes. meadowcroft and dozens of other sites predate the thawing off the lesser dryas. @@RUclipsr-ep5xx
I know of a place here in New Hampshire that is very much like this place . it has a huge knoll of quarts that is literally surrounded by hundreds of thousands of chips and flakes. certainly not nearly as big as this site but does have many of the same charectoristics . I have known about it for a long time and people hike and hunt around the area but it's never been acknowledged as an archeological site . Watching this documentary has inspired me to contact the state archeologist and show them my spot so as It could possibly be protected for the future. thank you for posting this and it's been added to my bucket list of places I want to visit now!
pretty much everywhere quartz is at the surface. after all they didn't even have horses to run down to wal mart and pick up a chunk. there were probably a few battles over these locations.
The quartzite in this video is a little different from regular quartz. You can't make arrowheads like this from regular quartz. But that place in New Hampshire might not be quartz either. You can tell be the way the rock breaks - the stuff in the video breaks like glass, and work for arrowheads. Those arrowhead making techniques dont work on milky or clear quartz. It'd be cool to hear a follow-up on the New Hampshire place. I'm just south of there, and found all kinds of rocks. I found a small clear quartz crystal in a pocket in a rocky outcropping in a farm field behind my old apartment complex. I noticed white quartz veins in the rocks, and followed them until one opened up a little, and a single crystal had formed inside. It was loose by the time I'd found it. We get calcite veins around here, too. It shatters in chunks rather than like glass (or maybe like "safety glass"😂 not shards, and neither quartz nor calcite flake off with percussion strikes. That's how you can tell for sure). I know where there's marble and alabaster in Vermont, and I wouldnt be surprised if New Hampshire has that too. What you found nay have been an old quarry, just a matter of how old?
Thanks for the wonderful video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music. The judicious use of the music that you chose is pretty good.

I have a Cousin, who has been able to make these, Arrowheads that you would NEVER be able to tell the difference between a Arrowhead, that was made thousands of years ago, yet he will make them right in front of you. He makes it look easy, yet some people have the ability and experience and someone can't no matter what. Tells me certain people had their specialty. 😊
Same here and have been knapping for almost 50 yrs now, i stopped selling my pieces decades ago when i found out some people were buying them, then turning around and selling them as authentic pieces of history for hundreds of dollars apiece. I was disgusted by this and have NEVER sold another piece.This "sham" creates a nightmare. Best wishes.
I watched a flint napper made heads. He was so upset at my mention of the Solutrians that he tried to accuse me of theft to make me feel uncomfortable and rally hate against me. I did not know at that time that a narrative shift happened after ww2 that hid the truth and created alternative narratives that support the false out of Africa theory. Thank the good for DNA sequencing that illuminates the massive lies. Science will be given back to the observer, eventually.
@@shanghunter7697You should do a video demonstration on how to make arrow heads and post it on RUclips. Maybe donate some of your works to colleges or museums.
every little piece of the puzzle, no matter how small or insignificantly seeming helps 'paint' a picture or helping form the data-set & characteristics that become the proverbial 'window' into a particular past. Well done!
I am Anishinaabe I was born in the Sudbury District. I hate the old photos of the Indigenous who are drawn naked, or half naked. For a few reasons, there is no way any of us were that, impractical. Being eaten by Mosquito's, or scratched by small brush, branches and or getting burrs on you, or how about how cold it is in Canada.
I’ve spent my life studying oppression, including how humans justify it…all the way back to,ancient times, empire builders common justification/propaganda is to present the victims as primitive, savage, brutal, incapable of embracing “civilization (which often connects to refusal to convert to the oppressor’s religious views), etc. Portraying them as naked, dirty, smelly, having disgusting eating habits, etc., is common throughout written history. The irony is that those engaging in such a portrayal are the least “civil” of all. Nothing brings out human brutality like imperialism and I’m always very suspicious of that kind of language.
Thomas Lee was forced to resign through back-stabbing and ridicule, because he maintained that the stone tools were most likely from as far back as 125,000 years ago. Many geologists agreed on the very old age of the site. I guess Mr. Thomas didn't tow the establishment line.
Is there a source on that? I would like to see it. I think this 50 year old white guy and his team have maintained the status quo for another generation. Thomas L was a rebel. I got to give credit to him for maintaining until he left. Don't believe it, native people have stories that are so old you would not believe.
The hill is between hixton Wisconsin and alma center.Wisconsin on hi way 95 closer to alma center,go there in the spring ,after plowing.the fields are covered with chips,
Interesting, but the last ice age ended around 10,000 years ago, right? - So, either this artifact is a bit younger than that - OR it's WAY older, even PRE-dating the last ice age. The ice sheet during the late glacial period extended into and across the Sheguiandah. Mr. Randall Carlson has a lot of interesting takes on this stuff, by the way.
Agree. The Cordilleran and Laurentide ice sheets covered Canada and parts of the northern USA. The ice began to melt around twenty thousand years go and the land was pretty well ice free around 10, 500 years ago. The ice remaking was the mountain glaciers.
The comments here give me a bad feeling about the video. Too many displays of ignorance, when I'd expect a quality documentary to attract intelligent discussion. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age has been ongoing for the last thirty-four millions years. What you ignorant ones are referring to is the last glacial period. People keep bringing up the Younger Dryas as if it's some magic spell. Usually mentioned by people who listen to what's his face, Hancock, falling for his very deliberate lies. I'd shoot myself, if I caught myself falling for such idiocy.
I'm from Wisconsin we have a hill called Silver mound,when white settlers first came here the hill was being mined by indegus ,people.for tooLs,weapons, A certain rock\stone,could be knaped into tools weapons ,the fields all around the hill are covered with chips,of this stuff,flint ,or chert,I have been there,several times,the hill. Is approximately500 ft about 1\2 way up the hill is the pit where they dug the rock out of the hill,it used to be a like a shallow cave ,we climbed up there,looked around,then years later I went back there,it had caved in.right where we had been,standing,I picked up. A piece of the material ,I still have it in my artifacts, that I have collected through the years.
Wasn't Cananda covered by miles of ice until about 11800 years ago? So how does this site rewrite human history? In the USA there is the Clovis & preClovis dating back at least that far. Then there are the sites in Turkey & surrounding countries dating even further back. Then there are the Bosnia pyramids dating back over 30000 years. A great find no doubt but much later than alot of other sites. Just my 2 coppers.
The Bosnia pyramids are not accepted as 30,000 years old generally. Remember the 'ice free corridor in Canada and the short warm period around 12,500 years ago before the Yunger Dryas.
And remember that RUclips favors the clickbait titles! Just like TV does, or did when anyone watched it, RUclips favors the lowest common denominator. In other words, it caters to the dumbest among us!

I agree, Canada is so rich with history. Grew up along the Niagara escarpment area in the 70's (as a teenager) and found 4 perfect gouge's all side by side on my uncles farm. Same quartzite material and have them on my wall in a beautiful glass and wood shadowbox. Very best wishes to you and yours and hope you have a wonderful, safe new yr dear.
You'll never know anything about our history as long as you have to have a degree(knowledge is different than a degree), funding, permission, permits, etc. The amount of red tape in the name of sacred sites is bs. You should not forget also. The money that pays for the digs, gets to write the story at the end of the day. Just look at what you can't do around that site. Explore. Most major sites discovered in recent times. Was due to someone on an adventure. Ie: Göbekli Tepe

I found this video to be very well done and quite interesting. I do find the title to be rather misleading and a bit"sensational" for such well done, informative and professional work but I am glad that it didnt deter me from watching. The beautiful paleo point is what got my attention! Thanks for posting this!
I agree. Nearly every video has a sensationized titles (and words in the thumbnail pictures) because RUclips favors them. Also idiotic facial expressions.
This is one of the best videos I've come across on RUclips in quite a while. But, there is nothing here that is going to rewrite human history. I learned a lot of this when I visited Manitoulin Island when I was a young teenager in '73
I agree. Good video, very instructive and well documented. The title is, unfortunately, click bait. This stuff has been known and well understood for quite some time and has been part of archaeological courses for the last 30 years. Still, it’s good to know people are discovering this for the first time. But it’s like me discovering for the first time why COVID-19 was called a coronavirus. I new what virus were and that some of them kind on looked like lunar landers. The fact that some viruses have the shape of a crown was new to me but not new to scientists who’s job it is to study virus…
I'm no expert but I feel like we as humans have been here longer than we think I feel our history and Religion has been rewritten many times. The only thing that seems to change for the good is when we realize what has been hidden from us.
Get a fucking grip. Nobody is hiding anything from you. If you got off your butt and stopped watching the stupidity posted to RUclips by idiots like the dispicable Graham Hancock, you would see that very clearly. Try picking up a book written by a real expert, or read 1 of the scientific journals, or even just read a popular archeology magazine, and you will see very clearly that nobody is hiding anything. That's just a ploy for pity by Hancock and his ilk, and to try to raise your emotions, but it's all just to sell his books and videos, so he can avoid getting a real job, because he's not qualified for any real job, and NOBODY on this earth would hire him. Even Joe Rogan can only tolerate him for an hour at a time! Without suckers like you, he won't be able to travel the world 1st class, and stay in luxury hotels. But all of you people are far too lazy to bother looking up the facts. It might require you guys to get up off your couch. And to read things that actually require some effort to comprehend. God forbid that people might actually learn some scientific vocabulary! And then you you guys blame the scientists for the fact you know nothing about any of it, which is the most moronic thing I've ever heard of! Every time I hear somebody make that absurd claim I realize that nearly the entire US is made up of real idiots. By far the most are right wingers who are already used to swallowing the EXTREMELY ABSURD lies told by the orange cult leader. It's time all the right wingers and the ridiculous Ancient Aliens fanatics woke the hell up and faced reality!
We are discovering new information about the human story in history every day. Evidence now shows humans beings have been in the Americas for 23,000 years, at the very least.
Chuckled a little bit when he said flint napping is a lost skill, or only held by a few. My whole scout troop practiced it when I was in Scouts as a kid. We had a few kids that made arrows so impressive you'd think they had grown up doing it.
This doesn't rewrite human history; the research demonstrates that people came here 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, which we already knew. The claim starting at 1:10 that this site "is one of the most interesting archeological sites in all the world" is misleading beyond all reason. It's pretty insignificant and boring compared with Pompeii, Egyptian Pyramids, Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, the list is endless. Lastly, I found Dr. Darrel Manitowabi's talk at the end that the importance of "historical relationships" between communities being more important than the archeology as well as "a metaphor for dispossession from representation and from the landscape" as confusing and as veiled political message that we should all feel guilty for some reason or another, and the locals should get tourism $ from this. Manitoulin Island is such an incredible place to visit, it is so serene, beautiful, and relatively untouched. Everyone should visit that part of Canada, no need for misleading propaganda.

AFTER 10 minutes..ONTRIO is stated. "Sheguiandah is an archaeological site and National Historic Site of Canada. It is located on the northwestern shore of Manitoulin Island in Manitoulin, ONTARIO.
Wow! That's really interesting. Tell me more about the points you've found. Local stories from here on Manitoulin Island talk about Aboriginal people making trading voyages south by canoe into what is now the US, sometimes staying away for years at a time. I imagine the Sheguiandah points may have made it down that way. What can you tell me about your finds? Bye for now, Steve

I'm so moved to see such a presentation. It's going to have a real impact through the generations, that the working relationships can be developed so that native peoples understandings and perspective be shared, eventually centered, as people now use the term. It's very hopeful the more these various disciplines adjust and demonstrate what working together can look like. ❤
In east texas, in a small town, a site beside a site is considered 20,000 years old or more in private but in public, the Texas A&M and other college intellectuals that initially investigated refuse to even suggest such heresy.
Unfortunately, in archaeology, that sense of heresy in disputing long held hypothesis is still alive and very much present. In the 90s when the Pre Clovis hypothesis was presented, it was ridiculed and the archaeologists were demonized. Tom Dillehy, who found Monte Verde in Chili, was ridiculed and ostracised for claiming it was 15,000 years old, predating the Clovis First Hypothesis. It took a long time for the attitude of the establishment to change. Now Pre Clovis Is the accepted Hypothesis.
I’ve noticed that there seems to be more native Americans/First people are becoming archeologists than 20-30 years ago. Because much of the time, it’s likely their ancestors it seems more effective and somewhat poetic that they be the ones doing this. Their traditions and stories would seem to give insight. Being a repressed people who have lost so much of their culture and land, it must be nice to have the existence of their people here so much further back than once believed.
Wasn't the Great Lakes formed during the last ice age around 11-15 thousand years ago and wasnt Manitoulin island under 1.5 miles of ice during the last ice age
No. The ice melted in the south around that time but was replaced by glacial lakes. You still had ice up northern Quebec till around 7k. This appear to have been and island and as the water drained and the earth bounced back from the weight of the ice, is slowly « grew ». This site is quite south so as an archaeologist, none of the dates are very surprising except the date advanced by Tomas Lee. We can’t blame him. He was at the very forefront of archaeology as a science that has seen leaps and bounds since the 1950´s.
Fun fact: The indigenous Sámi of Scandinavia: mainly Norway, Sweden, Finland and western most Russia, are distant related to all 1st nations/indigenous Americans as their ancestors the Proto Finns migrated from Siberia Asia to northern Norway during the Last Ice Age. They weren’t the first humans there tho, as they intermixed with the already existing Western Hunter Gatherers who where the 1st Europeans, brown skin and blue eyes, who had migrated into Europe from the Middle East where all Europeans can trace their ancestry on their paternal side. They are indigenous as they didn’t mix with later incoming populations like the Anatolian farmers from ancient Turkey, Yamnaya from Ukraine or the Germanic farmers aka Norse. Their cousins the Finns and Estonians did which is why they aren’t indigenous even though Finno Ugric like the Sámi. The Sámi may not look what most people consider an “indigenous person” to look like, as they are white passing, many with blonde hair and blue eyes, but that’s due to evolution and natural selection because of the harsh climate their ancient ancestors lived in. All this is proven by DNA, linguistic and archaeological evidence… they also experienced and went through similar traumatic events like the indigenous peoples in the Americas had to go through: colonialism, residential schools, their land being stolen by settlers and now threatened by deforestation, mining, and wind mill parks by the government. Many of the different Sámi languages are either critically endangered some even extinct. There’s also still alot of prejudice, hate and racism towards them as indigenous peoples in the majority society, and they face a lot of discrimination. And even though they are modern people now, a fee tribes still managed to preserve their language, culture and ancient traditions that are very akin to the Arctic, Siberia and North America, similar way of dress, religion and way of life. Tho they are reindeer’s herders and fishermen/farmers. Historically nomadic, others who lived along the coast were semi nomadic and did agriculture, and fishing. Remember X thousands of years separates them from their distant American kin, so of course they are neither Native American nor would they look like them. And we’re one of few places that still has the remnants of the Ice Age fauna: Muskox! My mom’s paternal side resides in the only part of the country that has these animals, and I’ve seen them many times.
I wonder about if the black mat layer is clearly present in this place. Which delienates the end of Pleistocene and start of Holocene. If not, is there any theory about why it's missing? Could it be because there was an Icesheet during the time?
Yes, it certainly is interesting to see the similarities between mythologies around the world. Things like that can't happen by accident. Thanks for watching! Steve
I suspect this site fell out of favour for high quality tools a bit earlier than suspected as trade routes opened up and better quality stone was available. I mean that stuff is the best quartz you'll find but it's still terrible in comparison to many other stone types. In my area there's a few pink quartz zones that were clearly used for basic crude tools but whenever someone finds an actual point or well crafted item it's always chert or flint imported from a long ways away. In fact it seems even the copper tools around the great lakes fell out of favour for the same reasons. Good quality stone is far easier to work and became far easier to get a hold of over time as populations increased and more resource discoveries were made. Of course that site could have probably been a go to for lower quality tools right up until more modern times when the flow of good stone was interrupted for whatever reason.
The stone used here is quartzite, not quartz. He said that people came hundreds of miles for this good quality stone. He said that it was likely abandoned when iron became available. That was traded from the white men.
Glad you enjoyed it! Drop by my website baileylineroad.com for a visit sometime. You'll find lots of stuff there, including tool giveaways, articles and lots of other stuff of interest to hands-on, how-to people. Bye for now and thanks for watching! Steve
At one time I taught my self to nap flint I had found some rocks of flint that were fairly easy to flake and I found that smaller points were quite easy to make. It is very hard to make large spear points
Interested to know how there were terraces at around every 50 or so meters on that island. Was it the lifting of land due to glacial retreat? Would that island be far away from land at the time? So many questions!!!
Yes, it’s glacial rebound. I’am not sure how far the island was from the shores but apparently, it was interesting enough to make a dug out canoe and to go there! It does show us that the « Clovis » people where comfortable on the water had where more than just land based big game hunters.
I am an Archaeologist, I remember in the 80's no one dared to challenge the 12,000 year old Clovis barrier. Funny how much science we lost because of ignorance.
Hello, I love hearing more about life on Mother Earth, and being in Ontario is exciting!! What I am wondering is about the fact that Lake Superior is not a lake at all! It has been proven that... it is in fact an old Ocean or Sea! Do you have any knowledge about this information??? This was brought to my attention by those who have examined all the "Great Lakes" in great depths! I find this all so very fascinating!!! Could L. Superior have originally been part of/connected to James Bay? Migwich
I'm not an archeologist but I do know that northern lower Michigan is filled with ancient coral fossils so at some point the great lakes region was definitely a shallow Sea, but connected to James Bay I think that's a stretch.
Michigan ( my home state) has many ancient coral formations as well.as some huge salt deposits. I am sure at some point in history the whole region was an ancient sea.
I live between the escarpment and Lake Ontario and when I was a kid we would find arrowheads in the creek area where we played. As recent as 6 or eight years ago a neighbour was selling arrowheads they dug up in their garden.
chert, jasper, basalt, chalcedony, granite, limestone, slate, quartz, quartzite, and every variation of those base stones, so NOT very few stones, quartz is the most common stone on the planet, it is not rare. 27:48
Ivwas writing a paper on exploring earth before the ice age, great video. Thanks to the Archeologist, we're gaining on information only previously known to be delusional ideals. Many Thank you all for your participation and anticipation in these great histories
The sites in Southern Ontario are everywhere, sand mounds were destroyed along with the bones of the passed on and their artifacts. The sand was used to mix cement in the urban sprawl .
On The Oregon Country Fair property in Veneta Oregon we have the Earliest yet dated Outdoor Ovens along the Ling Tom River. It was a Kayapyla people the Original People of this lands gathering place for over 20,000 years. Eastern Oregon has other ancient sites. My partners family Kayapula has been here in North America for well over 20,000 years. Camus bulbs are still collected and turned into bread by local Original People to thos day.
There are way more than a handful of people who know how to make stone tools today. I and 2 other archaeology classmates were taught by our instructor back in the day. The 3 of us got pretty good at it. Over the years since I have met with many others who have learned it and others that teach it. A quick RUclips search found over a dozen channels that show stone-flaking. Sorry, Dr. Julig you seem to be out of practice on your stone-flaking skills and selection.
Just during the 3/4 of a century that I have been alive the dates of human occupation of the America's has been pushed back numerous times. IMO, only, names like Indian, American Indian, Native American, First Nations, are all colonial terms. I really liked the part in the video where the narrator says that there is a third, competing theory, that people have been there since time immemorial. To my way of thinking, as these dates get pushed back further and further, as archaeologists dare to dig deeper and deeper, as traditional stories are shared and proven, we start to seriously approach an "immemorial" date. Oral histories ARE truth. Their truth is our truth too. I live just a few miles away from several of the earliest examples of Clovis culture, 13,000 years ago, including one of the few Mastadon kill sites. I may know less than John Show but I'm learning all the time.
And who on earth is "noting" historians? They "note" themselves. So, who are "noting"? The boring ones. The average ones. The wrong ones. How do you select the best ones? All you get is fights. History proves it. Quarrel quarrel quarrel. Yuck.
History is a written discipline. Archaeology is artifactual and hypothesis. Archaeology can reinforce a written source of evidence, or disprove it, What this article is all about is Prehistory, and is as such open to debate and conjecture! That is not to say that it is of no value, quite the opposite, but do not confuse the two disciplines.
I can get into it more but, Smithsonian and the power Religion on the planet will not let you change history to the TRUTh... We found Clovis arrow heads 120 feet down and the Archeological Society said they can only go 40 ft, so all his work was abolished and he was denounced from the Arch. Society..
Junipersnow; this extraordinary claim needs more back up. Source, evidence etc. Until then, your claim can't be taken more serious than an flat earthers claim.

I'm Indigenous i grew up on a foster farm in Ponteix Saskatchewan. In the spring times I worked the freshly plowed fields, walking in front of the tractor picking up rocks big enough to wreck the seeder machine. Placing them in the front loader. I would occasionally find arrow heads and stone rocks that looked like they had been used as tools. I made a small pile. I was 6, 7, 8 years old. I was moved to another farm and lost the rocks I found. As a child i would think about the stones I found. I got comfort from Arrow heads knowing my people were at the same place I was at an earlier time. That i wasn't alone. I know it was wrong what they did to me, but i wouldn't have experienced a lot of different amazing things in my life if I was raised on a reservation. I was in the '60s scoop, thanks, Royal Howlett.

Anishinaabe dude here living in Wiikwemkoong! I'm originally not from this area, but I've lived in Wiky for almost my whole life and I've always been so fascinated with my rez neighbors at Sheguiandah. The amount of history in the area is absolutely mindblowing, and I always feel so proud to see these glimpses into the past, even if this area is not where my ancestors are from.
The Lake of the Woods area has a very similar historical and cultural record; there's petroglyphs, rock paintings, and an indescribable amount of unexplored sites strewn around the area waiting to be documented and preserved. This makes me feel so glad that I'm here in Ontario, and that I've always been here. Gichi-miigwech!

You inspired me to google LOTW petroglyphs....SO cool.
We live in GA and find huge arrowheads, axes, spear points and even giant shark teeth on the banks of the Savannah river around Augusta (especially when the water is low) but there are many other places where the ground is littered with more recent artifacts as well. Let's work to learn all we can. Let's welcome new discoveries and not try to hide them. It's so important to know the past because it is essential for being ready for the future. Our ancestors were so much more skilled than we've been told. Each find is like a time machine. It's simply amazing to see so far back in time but we also have SO MUCH more to learn about things that happened not so long ago also. I'm excited to hear each new wrinkle in time. Great video.
The phosphate mine here in north Florida turned up a fist sized piece of mammoth ivory. The young man who found it was excited to show off his find, tho he didn't know what it was.
Only when I looked at the broken end was I able to see the growth rings, like tree rings.
The piece was the deep black associated with fossils. The truly amazing thing was how heavy it was, for being the size of my fist it weighed more than 2 kilos, nearly 5 pounds
It's quite astonishing how far people travelled. There is a very important archeological site on the Ottawa River not far from where I live which was used as a "toll station" by the people who controlled it going back thousands of years. Basically to pass, you paid a toll. That was one of their gigs. They have evidently found stone implements on that site which come from the Ohio River Valley and I believe they found artifacts in the Yukon which were traced to that site on the Ottawa River. These people travelled thousands of kilometers across some of the most forbidding land on the continent.
What tribe are you ?
I had just been watching a few videos from people who find all types of fossils and rocks, just like you said! So many bones or teeth I wouldn't have even known until he pointed out the spinal discs then I could see them everywhere, before that they just looked like rocks. Oh, and GORGEOUS country side!!

@@SamtheIrishexan in my part of the world, a archeological complex was developed due to the deep stratification of stone tools, and the fact that unique patterned tools and specific chert types were found in multiple areas.

@@lifeaccordingtogizzmoroncu9721 Hello, I came across this channel some while ago and it's actually a website too that has lots of knapping materials, tools, and instructions. If you are determined, a decent set of knapping tools can be made up fairly easily too. Getting the stone suitable for knapping is the hardest part unless you live near a natural source of it, like I do 🙂.

Just a few days ago, my husband found a gorgeous arrowhead in a new field of ours. We live on an old farm on 100 acres bordering a river. An archaeologist a few years ago, told us what we find is prehistoric, meaning very old. My favorite find is a little round cooking stone. They heated them in a fire, then added them to liquid to heat it. I never walk this ancient land without thinking about those who were here long ago.

@1 That would make a good follow-up video. He did say that the site was likely abandoned when better alternatives like iron became available for tools, meaning trade goods from white settlers. I think that I've read that few native people were living on Manitoulin Island later, but that may be after the settlers came in and cut down most of the trees. I have visited Manitoulin often and wondered what it was like before settlement. Very different, obviously.
I'm from this region. It's fascinating seeing how the rocks I grew up around were used.
Edit: I'm from Sudbury, spent a decent amount of time exploring Manitoulin Island & Killarney. Amazing landscapes, with the most peaceful atmosphere.
As a young Archaeology student I got to spend a few months making an archaeological survey of Killarney park during the mid-70's. An absolutely beautiful area. Our base was in Sudbury.
Is there any way to get some of this material? Or is it all protected?
@MikeJones-vb1me Northern Ontario has very little enforcement of any "rules" to be honest. The Provincial motto is "Yours To Discover". Perhaps the specific archeological sites where artifacts have been discovered are under some form of protection. However, the La Cloche Mountain range & Niagara Escarpment on Manitoulin Island are littered with piles of these types of rock all over the place. If you were to do The Crack or Cup And Saucer trails, you would come across many piles of loose rock of these sorts. I never found any artifacts, but I was never aware they used these rocks for tool making until I saw this video!
@bobbarron6969 Yes Killarney and the surrounding Georgian Bay region has some truly amazing scenery. Very under-rated, extremely peaceful.
I would suggest approaching the band(s) on whose land it is on. They may be able to get some for you. If you just want the type of rock not specific to that area surely it's found other places.
Grew up sheltered by the escarpment. Older brothers found flint arrowheads in plowed fields. Paved over now.

@@scottlanghorst1483...their point very closely resemble the bi-facial points found at Clovis. A point was found on the east coast that also resembles the clovis style projectiles
@@scottlanghorst1483 let's examine the evidence... The Clovis culture and knapping style is found across North America. Was considered technologically superior to its contemporaries of the time period. The Solutrean style of knapping and tool sets are identical to Clovis. They have traced Solutrean tools found in the Basque country, to quarries on the East Coast of the Americas. The language of the Basque people (Solutreans) does not have ties linguistically to any language in Europe. Their language does share words with Native American tribes though. The largest population centers for Basque people, outside of the Basque country, are northern Nevada and southern Idaho. Those people are returning to their homeland. After the great flood pushed them out of North America, they migrated to Europe and established a colony in the area between Spain and France called the Basque country. The mainstream migration story of these cultures are presented backwards. There is more evidence of this reverse migration in other cultures as well. The Ainu people of northern Japan are the original samurai and are completely different genetically than the Jomon culture of the rest of the island. Their knapping style and tool sets have been found on the Idaho side of the Snake River in an area known as Coopers Ferry. These are the oldest known artifacts in North America. The Nez Perce (Nimi'ipuu) tribe of Idaho, Oregon and Washington also possessed evidence of a reversed migration. When a legendary Chief of the Nez Perce surrendered to the U.S. Army he presented General Howard with a stone tablet as a peace offering. It was known as the "mystery glyph" as no one at the time could identify the cuneiform it was written in. Chief Joseph said, it was handed down through his family for many generations and was a gift from the people who once dominated the region. It wasn't until 1963, with the discovery of Göbekli Tepe that the mystery glyph had a known origin. The mystery glyph tablet that had been passed down for generations was written in Sumerian cuneiform. The oldest known site of civilization in Europe. 😮 Some little known history I thought I would share with you (and anyone reading this). Fact check this information...you can't make this stuff up 😂

@@JamesStripling yeah ... having supporting facts doesn't slow down debate. Consensus takes time.
The age of the footprints opens up new areas of research, so the "debate" is actually "We don't know how they got here, and we have no other evidence." Then we can test theories of how they could have been there so early and look for other evidence. This is a great time for archeology! We have DNA and LIDAR etc. to help us out.
Very interesting video would like to see more videos like this.amazing early manufacturing site and Hardest to think and to know is that they didnt have safety glasses to protect eyes from stray flakes flying up..the artistry in these handmade tools are amazing to see.💙🇺🇲🇨🇦
What a wonderful account of both ancient and recent human and natural history.👍
Yeah! A good rendering of history
Only that the Anglo World love their lagacy but they don't want them among them, they do the same everywhere they rule they decimate them they want them extinct
Like dinosaurs, América, Australia, New Zesland, Hawaii, Africa,, is not glorious!
Inglorious bastards 😮

@@baileylineroad Thanks for your reply and will check out your website ! Lucille
My father was born on Manitoulin and we used to visit my grandmother in Gore Bay every summer.
I lived on manitoulin Island from 89 - 02 ... beautiful place
@carolynking5470 my dad was born in mindemoya
Thank you so much for the marvelous background as you walk us through this beautiful park marked with spellbinding art and informative plaques. I'm fascinated by archaeology and native culture and really appreciate the experts that contributed to this video.
What makes them "experts"?
@@usmcmustang2972 You're asking me? Lol. In my view, usually it's practice, lived experience or focused study.
It does not rewrite history. It rewrites our understanding of history.
West Asia was named after Zeus' mistress - Europ - 600AD.. ..All Humans Are African.
people evolved in Africa, from one common ancestor, a couple hundred thousand yrs ago Over time, some people walked out of Africa and spread across the world.
The branches of the family that spent thousands of years in colder places without a lot of sun … eventually they lost much of their melanin and turned a bunch of different shades, depending on the conditions where they were.
… the king of Portugal had hired Zurara to write a biography of the king’s uncle - Infante Henrique … better known as Prince Henry the Navigator -1st major to exclusively enslave & trade continental
Writing in 1453, Zurara chronicles & glorifies Prince Henry’s voyage, a decade before. In describing resulting slave auction back in Portugal, in 1444…Zurara lumped together different-looking captives
So Zurara portrayed slavery as an improvement over freedom in Africa, where, he wrote, “They lived like beasts.” They “had no understanding of good, but only knew how to live in bestial sloth.”
Zurara’s writings were widely circulated among the elite in Portugal…& their ideas about continental Africans…led the way as human trade expanded among west Asian countries like Spain France
& England west Asian Africans [post Zeus' mistress Europ]
slave traders [military order of Christ] commissioned the invention of this sort of codified racist idea, of Black people [from south of the Sahara, Africa] 1450s
- pink-beige west Asian European Africans fashioned 1682 white in the colonies that became US
ruclips.net/video/CJdT6QcSbQ0/видео.html
In 1682 … the first legislative body in colonial America The Virginia House of Burgesses passed a law limiting citizenship to Europeans
- making all non-Europeans - “Negroes...” aka in English "BLACKS" as the law put it - quote, “slaves to all intents and purposes.”
the 1682 law included the first documented use in the English-speaking colonies of the word “white” [vs English European or Christian] to describe [brown to lightest pink-beige west Asian Africans aka Europeans] considered full citizens.
Racism is racial prejudice that has been incorporated into the activities and procedures of major institutions, corporations, social systems (such as those related to housing, education, and health), and other arenas of major social activity (such as politics, the media, finance, and banking)
Racism serves both to discriminate against ethnic minorities and to maintain advantages and benefits for west Asian Africans colonial government invented "White" Americans
~ descendants of mt-MRCA -- darkest brown to lightest pink-beige
All living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers, & through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman -- mitochondrial eve
we became a species ranging from the darkest brown to the lightest, pink-beige, and everything in between … shades of brown with an array of yellowish and reddish tinges
not even that!... we call ''History'' the part of the past that is recorded, and written by contemporary historians... everything before that is not ''History'' but Pre-History... and is blurred by theories... that's just a theory... nothing proven or recorded... an assumption... a wish to be... the Americas were Free of humans... until the Asians invaded from the North in several waves... the turms ''indigenous'' and ''native'' are incorrect...
@@user-McGiveragreed on those two words... which is why Canada's use of the term "First Nations" makes a bit more sense, although is still a bit fuzzy... as in the first nations here that we're aware of; obviously not the first ones to have existed there.
@@user-McGiver The ignorance and expression manifest destiny of your comments are troubling and insulting to the peoples who where here first. You discount the theories expressed in the documentary then try to prove your point by expressing yet another theory. Nothing you said is scientifically proven nor relevant unless you're a published and peer reviewed scientist in this field. Which I highly doubt.
@@lazaruslong92you may be right in your words but you speak from a bitter place.
My dad recently got into flint knapping with antlers and stones. My Dad and I are traditional bow hunters. So he’s super into the old knowledge of life and hunting.
Congratulations Kemosabe!
You and your dad should do some videos on napping and making arrows.
I live on Florida Treasure Coast. The local park has an info board saying there has been 16k years of human habitation in that area
The White Sands footprints have been reliably dated to approximately 22,000 years. Humans have been in the Americas for a long time.
So, pre-Clovis.

I know of a place here in New Hampshire that is very much like this place . it has a huge knoll of quarts that is literally surrounded by hundreds of thousands of chips and flakes. certainly not nearly as big as this site but does have many of the same charectoristics . I have known about it for a long time and people hike and hunt around the area but it's never been acknowledged as an archeological site . Watching this documentary has inspired me to contact the state archeologist and show them my spot so as It could possibly be protected for the future. thank you for posting this and it's been added to my bucket list of places I want to visit now!
pretty much everywhere quartz is at the surface. after all they didn't even have horses to run down to wal mart and pick up a chunk. there were probably a few battles over these locations.
I wonder if there's gold there?
Gold is often found in quartz deposits.@@victorhopper6774
The quartzite in this video is a little different from regular quartz. You can't make arrowheads like this from regular quartz. But that place in New Hampshire might not be quartz either. You can tell be the way the rock breaks - the stuff in the video breaks like glass, and work for arrowheads. Those arrowhead making techniques dont work on milky or clear quartz. It'd be cool to hear a follow-up on the New Hampshire place. I'm just south of there, and found all kinds of rocks. I found a small clear quartz crystal in a pocket in a rocky outcropping in a farm field behind my old apartment complex. I noticed white quartz veins in the rocks, and followed them until one opened up a little, and a single crystal had formed inside. It was loose by the time I'd found it. We get calcite veins around here, too. It shatters in chunks rather than like glass (or maybe like "safety glass"😂 not shards, and neither quartz nor calcite flake off with percussion strikes. That's how you can tell for sure). I know where there's marble and alabaster in Vermont, and I wouldnt be surprised if New Hampshire has that too. What you found nay have been an old quarry, just a matter of how old?
Thanks for the wonderful video, and a huge thanks for not ruining it with crappy background music.
The judicious use of the music that you chose is pretty good.
Thank you for highlighting this quarry site. It is always interesting to see how and when these sites were utilized 🏹🏹

I have a Cousin, who has been able to make these, Arrowheads that you would NEVER be able to tell the difference between a Arrowhead, that was made thousands of years ago, yet he will make them right in front of you. He makes it look easy, yet some people have the ability and experience and someone can't no matter what. Tells me certain people had their specialty. 😊
Same here and have been knapping for almost 50 yrs now, i stopped selling my pieces decades ago when i found out some people were buying them, then turning around and selling them as authentic pieces of history for hundreds of dollars apiece. I was disgusted by this and have NEVER sold another piece.This "sham" creates a nightmare. Best wishes.
I find the real ones in the ground.
I watched a flint napper made heads. He was so upset at my mention of the Solutrians that he tried to accuse me of theft to make me feel uncomfortable and rally hate against me. I did not know at that time that a narrative shift happened after ww2 that hid the truth and created alternative narratives that support the false out of Africa theory. Thank the good for DNA sequencing that illuminates the massive lies. Science will be given back to the observer, eventually.
Lol
@@shanghunter7697You should do a video demonstration on how to make arrow heads and post it on RUclips. Maybe donate some of your works to colleges or museums.
every little piece of the puzzle, no matter how small or insignificantly seeming helps 'paint' a picture or helping form the data-set & characteristics that become the proverbial 'window' into a particular past. Well done!
I am Anishinaabe I was born in the Sudbury District. I hate the old photos of the Indigenous who are drawn naked, or half naked. For a few reasons, there is no way any of us were that, impractical. Being eaten by Mosquito's, or scratched by small brush, branches and or getting burrs on you, or how about how cold it is in Canada.
Dude I'm a fossil hunter in Texas and you are so right! You do not want to be naked in scrub brush
Cave men knew not to be naked in Canada.
I hear you the propaganda machines and schools think we are stupid. ..ON many things especially WW2 lies

I’ve spent my life studying oppression, including how humans justify it…all the way back to,ancient times, empire builders common justification/propaganda is to present the victims as primitive, savage, brutal, incapable of embracing “civilization (which often connects to refusal to convert to the oppressor’s religious views), etc. Portraying them as naked, dirty, smelly, having disgusting eating habits, etc., is common throughout written history. The irony is that those engaging in such a portrayal are the least “civil” of all. Nothing brings out human brutality like imperialism and I’m always very suspicious of that kind of language.
Thomas Lee was forced to resign through back-stabbing and ridicule, because he maintained that the stone tools were most likely from as far back as 125,000 years ago. Many geologists agreed on the very old age of the site. I guess Mr. Thomas didn't tow the establishment line.
Is there a source on that? I would like to see it. I think this 50 year old white guy and his team have maintained the status quo for another generation. Thomas L was a rebel. I got to give credit to him for maintaining until he left. Don't believe it, native people have stories that are so old you would not believe.
The hill is between hixton Wisconsin and alma center.Wisconsin on hi way 95 closer to alma center,go there in the spring ,after plowing.the fields are covered with chips,
This is amazing, how the ancient ones were super smart, and found ways to make a good life thru tools and thinking .
Thank you.
next time I am in Ontario I 'd like to visit their museum ,very informative video thanks !
Interesting, but the last ice age ended around 10,000 years ago, right? - So, either this artifact is a bit younger than that - OR it's WAY older, even PRE-dating the last ice age. The ice sheet during the late glacial period extended into and across the Sheguiandah. Mr. Randall Carlson has a lot of interesting takes on this stuff, by the way.
last ice age ended at 12,900 years at younger dryas boundaries
So great too hear about the ancient history of this country and its people thanks so much very interesting.
Agree. The Cordilleran and Laurentide ice sheets covered Canada and parts of the northern USA. The ice began to melt around twenty thousand years go and the land was pretty well ice free around 10, 500 years ago. The ice remaking was the mountain glaciers.
The comments here give me a bad feeling about the video. Too many displays of ignorance, when I'd expect a quality documentary to attract intelligent discussion. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age has been ongoing for the last thirty-four millions years. What you ignorant ones are referring to is the last glacial period. People keep bringing up the Younger Dryas as if it's some magic spell. Usually mentioned by people who listen to what's his face, Hancock, falling for his very deliberate lies. I'd shoot myself, if I caught myself falling for such idiocy.
@Henry-nw3vj Irrelevant to the topic
I'm from Wisconsin we have a hill called Silver mound,when white settlers first came here the hill was being mined by indegus ,people.for tooLs,weapons, A certain rock\stone,could be knaped into tools weapons ,the fields all around the hill are covered with chips,of this stuff,flint ,or chert,I have been there,several times,the hill. Is approximately500 ft about 1\2 way up the hill is the pit where they dug the rock out of the hill,it used to be a like a shallow cave ,we climbed up there,looked around,then years later I went back there,it had caved in.right where we had been,standing,I picked up. A piece of the material ,I still have it in my artifacts, that I have collected through the years.
Wasn't Cananda covered by miles of ice until about 11800 years ago? So how does this site rewrite human history? In the USA there is the Clovis & preClovis dating back at least that far. Then there are the sites in Turkey & surrounding countries dating even further back. Then there are the Bosnia pyramids dating back over 30000 years. A great find no doubt but much later than alot of other sites. Just my 2 coppers.
Read the description lol
The Bosnia pyramids are not accepted as 30,000 years old generally. Remember the 'ice free corridor in Canada and the short warm period around 12,500 years ago before the Yunger Dryas.
And remember that RUclips favors the clickbait titles! Just like TV does, or did when anyone watched it, RUclips favors the lowest common denominator. In other words, it caters to the dumbest among us!

I agree, Canada is so rich with history. Grew up along the Niagara escarpment area in the 70's (as a teenager) and found 4 perfect gouge's all side by side on my uncles farm. Same quartzite material and have them on my wall in a beautiful glass and wood shadowbox. Very best wishes to you and yours and hope you have a wonderful, safe new yr dear.
You'll never know anything about our history as long as you have to have a degree(knowledge is different than a degree), funding, permission, permits, etc. The amount of red tape in the name of sacred sites is bs. You should not forget also. The money that pays for the digs, gets to write the story at the end of the day. Just look at what you can't do around that site. Explore. Most major sites discovered in recent times. Was due to someone on an adventure. Ie: Göbekli Tepe

I found this video to be very well done and quite interesting.
I do find the title to be rather misleading and a bit"sensational" for such well done, informative and professional work but I am glad that it didnt deter me from watching. The beautiful paleo point is what got my attention!
Thanks for posting this!
I agree. Nearly every video has a sensationized titles (and words in the thumbnail pictures) because RUclips favors them. Also idiotic facial expressions.
Several times we see what an archeologist would call a folsom point
Great program about this remarkable archeological site.
This is one of the best videos I've come across on RUclips in quite a while. But, there is nothing here that is going to rewrite human history. I learned a lot of this when I visited Manitoulin Island when I was a young teenager in '73
I agree. Good video, very instructive and well documented. The title is, unfortunately, click bait. This stuff has been known and well understood for quite some time and has been part of archaeological courses for the last 30 years. Still, it’s good to know people are discovering this for the first time. But it’s like me discovering for the first time why COVID-19 was called a coronavirus. I new what virus were and that some of them kind on looked like lunar landers. The fact that some viruses have the shape of a crown was new to me but not new to scientists who’s job it is to study virus…
I'm no expert but I feel like we as humans have been here longer than we think I feel our history and Religion has been rewritten many times. The only thing that seems to change for the good is when we realize what has been hidden from us.
Get a fucking grip. Nobody is hiding anything from you. If you got off your butt and stopped watching the stupidity posted to RUclips by idiots like the dispicable Graham Hancock, you would see that very clearly. Try picking up a book written by a real expert, or read 1 of the scientific journals, or even just read a popular archeology magazine, and you will see very clearly that nobody is hiding anything.
That's just a ploy for pity by Hancock and his ilk, and to try to raise your emotions, but it's all just to sell his books and videos, so he can avoid getting a real job, because he's not qualified for any real job, and NOBODY on this earth would hire him. Even Joe Rogan can only tolerate him for an hour at a time! Without suckers like you, he won't be able to travel the world 1st class, and stay in luxury hotels.
But all of you people are far too lazy to bother looking up the facts. It might require you guys to get up off your couch. And to read things that actually require some effort to comprehend. God forbid that people might actually learn some scientific vocabulary! And then you you guys blame the scientists for the fact you know nothing about any of it, which is the most moronic thing I've ever heard of!
Every time I hear somebody make that absurd claim I realize that nearly the entire US is made up of real idiots. By far the most are right wingers who are already used to swallowing the EXTREMELY ABSURD lies told by the orange cult leader. It's time all the right wingers and the ridiculous Ancient Aliens fanatics woke the hell up and faced reality!
We are discovering new information about the human story in history every day. Evidence now shows humans beings have been in the Americas for 23,000 years, at the very least.
Anyone can make someone like yourself, believe anything you want to believe ...
@@usmcmustang2972oh stop being such a stick in the mud
Of course religion has been rewritten. It is in the hands of scam artists and grifters. No God. Just scams.
Chuckled a little bit when he said flint napping is a lost skill, or only held by a few.
My whole scout troop practiced it when I was in Scouts as a kid. We had a few kids that made arrows so impressive you'd think they had grown up doing it.
Phil Harding from Time Team seems to be a pretty good flint napper.
This doesn't rewrite human history; the research demonstrates that people came here 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, which we already knew. The claim starting at 1:10 that this site "is one of the most interesting archeological sites in all the world" is misleading beyond all reason. It's pretty insignificant and boring compared with Pompeii, Egyptian Pyramids, Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, the list is endless. Lastly, I found Dr. Darrel Manitowabi's talk at the end that the importance of "historical relationships" between communities being more important than the archeology as well as "a metaphor for dispossession from representation and from the landscape" as confusing and as veiled political message that we should all feel guilty for some reason or another, and the locals should get tourism $ from this.
Manitoulin Island is such an incredible place to visit, it is so serene, beautiful, and relatively untouched. Everyone should visit that part of Canada, no need for misleading propaganda.

There are no pyramids in the Grand Canyon!@@32clove
@@32clove they are almost as old as the oldest pyramid in the world, the weirs came about 700 years after the oldest pyramid.
In east texas, in a small town, a site beside a site is considered 20,000 years old or more in private but in public, the Texas A&M and other college intellectuals that initially investigated refuse to even suggest such heresy.
Dimwits.
Unfortunately, in archaeology, that sense of heresy in disputing long held hypothesis is still alive and very much present.
In the 90s when the Pre Clovis hypothesis was presented, it was ridiculed and the archaeologists were demonized.
Tom Dillehy, who found Monte Verde in Chili, was ridiculed and ostracised for claiming it was 15,000 years old, predating the Clovis First Hypothesis. It took a long time for the attitude of the establishment to change. Now Pre Clovis Is the accepted Hypothesis.
I’ve noticed that there seems to be more native Americans/First people are becoming archeologists than 20-30 years ago. Because much of the time, it’s likely their ancestors it seems more effective and somewhat poetic that they be the ones doing this. Their traditions and stories would seem to give insight. Being a repressed people who have lost so much of their culture and land, it must be nice to have the existence of their people here so much further back than once believed.

Wasn't the Great Lakes formed during the last ice age around 11-15 thousand years ago and wasnt Manitoulin island under 1.5 miles of ice during the last ice age
No. The ice melted in the south around that time but was replaced by glacial lakes. You still had ice up northern Quebec till around 7k. This appear to have been and island and as the water drained and the earth bounced back from the weight of the ice, is slowly « grew ». This site is quite south so as an archaeologist, none of the dates are very surprising except the date advanced by Tomas Lee. We can’t blame him. He was at the very forefront of archaeology as a science that has seen leaps and bounds since the 1950´s.
Fun fact: The indigenous Sámi of Scandinavia: mainly Norway, Sweden, Finland and western most Russia, are distant related to all 1st nations/indigenous Americans as their ancestors the Proto Finns migrated from Siberia Asia to northern Norway during the Last Ice Age. They weren’t the first humans there tho, as they intermixed with the already existing Western Hunter Gatherers who where the 1st Europeans, brown skin and blue eyes, who had migrated into Europe from the Middle East where all Europeans can trace their ancestry on their paternal side. They are indigenous as they didn’t mix with later incoming populations like the Anatolian farmers from ancient Turkey, Yamnaya from Ukraine or the Germanic farmers aka Norse. Their cousins the Finns and Estonians did which is why they aren’t indigenous even though Finno Ugric like the Sámi. The Sámi may not look what most people consider an “indigenous person” to look like, as they are white passing, many with blonde hair and blue eyes, but that’s due to evolution and natural selection because of the harsh climate their ancient ancestors lived in. All this is proven by DNA, linguistic and archaeological evidence… they also experienced and went through similar traumatic events like the indigenous peoples in the Americas had to go through: colonialism, residential schools, their land being stolen by settlers and now threatened by deforestation, mining, and wind mill parks by the government. Many of the different Sámi languages are either critically endangered some even extinct. There’s also still alot of prejudice, hate and racism towards them as indigenous peoples in the majority society, and they face a lot of discrimination. And even though they are modern people now, a fee tribes still managed to preserve their language, culture and ancient traditions that are very akin to the Arctic, Siberia and North America, similar way of dress, religion and way of life. Tho they are reindeer’s herders and fishermen/farmers. Historically nomadic, others who lived along the coast were semi nomadic and did agriculture, and fishing. Remember X thousands of years separates them from their distant American kin, so of course they are neither Native American nor would they look like them. And we’re one of few places that still has the remnants of the Ice Age fauna: Muskox! My mom’s paternal side resides in the only part of the country that has these animals, and I’ve seen them many times.
I wonder about if the black mat layer is clearly present in this place. Which delienates the end of Pleistocene and start of Holocene. If not, is there any theory about why it's missing? Could it be because there was an Icesheet during the time?
Bloody amazing how native people's mythologies tell so epically like sumerian Babylonian or Greek.
Yes, it certainly is interesting to see the similarities between mythologies around the world. Things like that can't happen by accident.
Thanks for watching!

Definitely a archaeological extravaganza
Although the Anishinaabe are currently resident in this area, never forget the Huron. (Wyndotte).
I suspect this site fell out of favour for high quality tools a bit earlier than suspected as trade routes opened up and better quality stone was available. I mean that stuff is the best quartz you'll find but it's still terrible in comparison to many other stone types. In my area there's a few pink quartz zones that were clearly used for basic crude tools but whenever someone finds an actual point or well crafted item it's always chert or flint imported from a long ways away. In fact it seems even the copper tools around the great lakes fell out of favour for the same reasons. Good quality stone is far easier to work and became far easier to get a hold of over time as populations increased and more resource discoveries were made. Of course that site could have probably been a go to for lower quality tools right up until more modern times when the flow of good stone was interrupted for whatever reason.
The stone used here is quartzite, not quartz. He said that people came hundreds of miles for this good quality stone.
He said that it was likely abandoned when iron became available. That was traded from the white men.
History is so important. It is the dust of what we are today. 🇨🇦

At one time I taught my self to nap flint I had found some rocks of flint that were fairly easy to flake and I found that smaller points were quite easy to make. It is very hard to make large spear points
Point taken
Shame old crafts are kept alive by so few or lost completely. My dad was a shipwright when no tools were electric/battery powdered.
Excellent!
Interested to know how there were terraces at around every 50 or so meters on that island. Was it the lifting of land due to glacial retreat? Would that island be far away from land at the time? So many questions!!!
Yes, it’s glacial rebound. I’am not sure how far the island was from the shores but apparently, it was interesting enough to make a dug out canoe and to go there! It does show us that the « Clovis » people where comfortable on the water had where more than just land based big game hunters.
Am facinated with ancient people we are older than what the educational systems are teaching
Because some nutcases with no education believe in aliens, or pretend to, and used that to get rich? Sorry! Try again!
I am an Archaeologist, I remember in the 80's no one dared to challenge the 12,000 year old Clovis barrier. Funny how much science we lost because of ignorance.
Hello, I love hearing more about life on Mother Earth, and being in Ontario is exciting!! What I am wondering is about the fact that Lake Superior is not a lake at all! It has been proven that... it is in fact an old Ocean or Sea! Do you have any knowledge about this information??? This was brought to my attention by those who have examined all the "Great Lakes" in great depths! I find this all so very fascinating!!! Could L. Superior have originally been part of/connected to James Bay? Migwich
I'm not an archeologist but I do know that northern lower Michigan is filled with ancient coral fossils so at some point the great lakes region was definitely a shallow Sea, but connected to James Bay I think that's a stretch.
Doesn't a sea have to be at "sea level"? Otherwise isn't it just a giant lake?

Michigan ( my home state) has many ancient coral formations as well.as some huge salt deposits. I am sure at some point in history the whole region was an ancient sea.
@@sid7088 An Ocean or Sea also has to be connected to the Oceans, and must also therefore be saltwater. Lake Superior is most definately NOT!
17:40 there is a gorgeous profile on that piece
I live between the escarpment and Lake Ontario and when I was a kid we would find arrowheads in the creek area where we played. As recent as 6 or eight years ago a neighbour was selling arrowheads they dug up in their garden.
🤫 government will be looking to profit from your nieghbors HARD WORK and research 🤮
Wonderful video! Thank you!
After this video I must come and visit.
chert, jasper, basalt, chalcedony, granite, limestone, slate, quartz, quartzite, and every variation of those base stones, so NOT very few stones, quartz is the most common stone on the planet, it is not rare. 27:48
Quartz is a mineral, not a rock. Quartzite Is a rock.
Quartz is found in all igneous felsic rocks. Granite, obsidian, Rhyolite etc...
My Uncle is a archeologist, he wears shirts that are too small also!! 😊
I have done the tour of this site. It is fascinating!
That's some lovely quartzite. Nice material
Ivwas writing a paper on exploring earth before the ice age, great video. Thanks to the Archeologist, we're gaining on information only previously known to be delusional ideals. Many Thank you all for your participation and anticipation in these great histories
6:50 Quartzite does not form from liquid magma.
Its quartz predecessor forms from magma, that cools & solidifies. When the quartz is reheated and cools, quartzite is formed.
@@charleshash4919Can also form from highly compacted sandstone, I believe.
@@bobfoster687 In any case, it's metamorphic, not igneous.
Really well done. Thank you!
And now we have 22 thousand year foot prints in NM.
The sites in Southern Ontario are everywhere, sand mounds were destroyed along with the bones of the passed on and their artifacts. The sand was used to mix cement in the urban sprawl .
On The Oregon Country Fair property in Veneta Oregon we have the Earliest yet dated Outdoor Ovens along the Ling Tom River. It was a Kayapyla people the Original People of this lands gathering place for over 20,000 years. Eastern Oregon has other ancient sites.
My partners family Kayapula has been here in North America for well over 20,000 years.
Camus bulbs are still collected and turned into bread by local Original People to thos day.
So cool that we are still gathering there 20,000 years later! I’ve been attending for the last 3 decades. It’s truly an essential event.✌🏻☮️
Did they know that lady with the long skull head?
Great show. Thanks for
There are way more than a handful of people who know how to make stone tools today.
I and 2 other archaeology classmates were taught by our instructor back in the day. The 3 of us got pretty good at it. Over the years since I have met with many others who have learned it and others that teach it. A quick RUclips search found over a dozen channels that show stone-flaking. Sorry, Dr. Julig you seem to be out of practice on your stone-flaking skills and selection.
Just during the 3/4 of a century that I have been alive the dates of human occupation of the America's has been pushed back numerous times. IMO, only, names like Indian, American Indian, Native American, First Nations, are all colonial terms. I really liked the part in the video where the narrator says that there is a third, competing theory, that people have been there since time immemorial. To my way of thinking, as these dates get pushed back further and further, as archaeologists dare to dig deeper and deeper, as traditional stories are shared and proven, we start to seriously approach an "immemorial" date. Oral histories ARE truth. Their truth is our truth too. I live just a few miles away from several of the earliest examples of Clovis culture, 13,000 years ago, including one of the few Mastadon kill sites. I may know less than John Show but I'm learning all the time.
So sad that the arriving Europans had no sense and no respect for history or other peoples different from themselves.
Populations have been manipulated 😢.
FYI, this is in the province of Ontario, sitting on Lake Huron.
Nothing has been "rewritten" as much as human history by noted scientists.
And who on earth is "noting" historians? They "note" themselves. So, who are "noting"? The boring ones. The average ones. The wrong ones. How do you select the best ones? All you get is fights. History proves it. Quarrel quarrel quarrel. Yuck.
Possibly
Who wrote the first time ?

History is a written discipline. Archaeology is artifactual and hypothesis. Archaeology can reinforce a written source of evidence, or disprove it,
What this article is all about is Prehistory, and is as such open to debate and conjecture!
That is not to say that it is of no value, quite the opposite, but do not confuse the two disciplines.
I can get into it more but, Smithsonian and the power Religion on the planet will not let you change history to the TRUTh... We found Clovis arrow heads 120 feet down and the Archeological Society said they can only go 40 ft, so all his work was abolished and he was denounced from the Arch. Society..
Junipersnow; this extraordinary claim needs more back up. Source, evidence etc. Until then, your claim can't be taken more serious than an flat earthers claim.
@@sidekickbob7227 I dont give a fk what you think and Im not here to be your friend.... My grandma was born on a reservation and one of my life goals is to resurrect the stories she knew and prove she was no Savage like your people called here. You do the research A- hole. Im working with reservations and elders, not your universities or lying Archeologist Society. .... its not in your history books.

@@sidekickbob7227 Thanks for saving me some work! That's what I came here to say. Plus, anyone who writes that badly can't be taken seriously. They are so unclear that their comment makes no sense at all, in addition to lacking any verifiable facts at all.
The shaping is caused by concordal fractures..formed by the internal lattuice cristal structure.
FYI: The pyramids are between 10,800 and 11,200 years old based on the water erosion present. During the younger drias period.
This is meant as a compliment. Every time I see flint/stone napping artifacts, especially in the UK, I always wonder if Phil Harding was there! Now, in Canada, I’m going to be wondering if YOU were there! 😂
Thanks for your note and compliment, and for watching my videos!
Bye,
