Ancient Life on the Great Plains
The Great Plains are well-known for their indigenous traditions but also have a rich history that spans over ten thousand years. Contrary to what some people think, the plains were not a backwater but a rich and flourishing area with a diverse array of cultures that drew in outside influence and people and interacted with their neighbors. Join us as we explore the pre-columbian history of the Great Plains. A big thanks to my patrons for

    That was excellent, it's always nice to get a true picture of something that is of interest. I'm following the work being done by hundreds of people who are seeing huge discrepancies in the official narrative of these times and the people who inhabited the lands. We seemed to be getting a more clear picture of these times but before the great Spanish invasion in the late 1400s , there was another group of humans existing in great comfort and even greater cities. These would be the people who inhabited the great white cities that seemed to be all over the land, especially where great ports could be built and used for the seemingly world wide trade networks that are evident by the use of say Rose Granite for the pillars of many of these grand, Old World structures. I don't believe it can be denied anymore, there was a great civilization all over the world, even in the US of A and, if the Cahokia people would have had a written language, I believe we would have the answers to the many questions we have about the people of those great cities, Who were they ? And, where did they go? Its obvious that their gigantic structures were here along side the cities of Cahokia,, and even the maps of the times, late 1400s, Showed ! these places and listed the people, places, towns, rivers, lakes, and ! Creatures that are no longer around but were ! The earliest maps show, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and maybe lands S. of these areas to be the ancient home of the megalithic giant people.. and most steered clear for 1 reason or another. And yet, there even seems to be an even earlier great civilization, the megalithic structures, All the same world wide rules apply. So if we can figure out Cahokia, we should be able to know something about the Old World people. TPTB don't want us to but i believe it is absolutely imperative that we have answers to these questions, it our history, our future, our truth, 🙏 we can have those things soon. Why is it Soo Dang Important to a select few people of this world to erase this " truth and history" from our collective memories, why. Let the Cahokians Speak ! They Know.

    Pronounce "cordillera" like it's Spanish, because it is. And "refugia" has the stress on the second syllable. The glacier was never south of the Puget Sound, even during the glacial maximum. I think we are forced to assume an early coastal route. We have a confirmed human presence in Oregon 18,000 years ago, and a confirmed presence in New Mexico at over 21kya. Probably there were humans in the PNW at least 1,000 years before New Mexico. This video somewhat neglects the southern part of this region.

    One thing that you kind of touched upon in the video is that maize was mostly grown near a water source. There was no irrigation to speak of. What that relates to is that Plains Natives lived within a couple miles of a fresh water source and seldom lived more than that except when migrating. Think about it, why would anyone live 20 miles from a water source? They would have to lug water 20 miles every day. This means that the Plains was mostly uninhabited by the Native peoples with exception that I mentioned where the people were near water. This may not be a factor in Minnesota that has plenty of lakes but in the Plains this is a big deal since water sources were much more sparse.

    Maize, as a name, is actually not really any more correct of a name than "corn". There were hundreds of native tribes and languages and very few actually called corn maize. Furthermore, we're not even sure that the pronunciation and spelling of "Maize" is exactly correct. So corn is just fine.

    2:49 “His name in his own language meant “one who kills difficulties or fatigue.“ Interestingly, being French, I recognize the “Mon” of “Moncacht” as being French for “My”, so I split his name up, threw it through Google translate, and it means, “I look forward to it” In Haitian Creole. I find it truly difficult to believe his “name” was his native given birth name. The perfect translation tells me the name was given to him by Haitian creoles, who were colonized by the French. I’m only 3m in, I’ll keep watching to see if this fact is addressed.

    Having lived on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations for 21 years there have been people who shared their Clan histories. The Navajo have a history of coming from the North and the Hopi have a history of coming from the south. They Island hopped across the Pacific from Asia. The Navajo elder that told me his story said they traveled across the ice sheets much like the Inuit do now following the game. They went back and forth across the sheet from Asia to North America many times. It was when a crevasse opened up in the sheet they could not go back to Asia. He was of a Zuni Navajo Clan. The Hopi moved north and are related the Aztec/Mayan. I know Mitochondria DNA shows that same pattern. I wonder how many people on the European side of North American also traveled across the ice sheets. I noticed that my son whose grandmother is 100% Swedish has Y DNA matches to the same Q-m242 YDNA of the Native Americans. I do realize it is much harder to find habitation on the ice sheets as opposed to on the land. Keep up the exploration of these ideas.

      No one is saying that they carbon dated the stone itself. When archaeologists say that they've dated a stone object, they are actually dating organic material found with it to figure out when it was deposited.

    Even now, with pictures of The Universe and subatomic particles, we believe that prophets are lords. Not much has changed.
