When my sceptical friends talk about ancient man being simple or primitive, I think about how many of us could run a farm. Most of us had a grandfather or great grandfather who planted and harvested crops, had cattle or something, etc. These guys are engineers. Repairing and building their own tools, inventing machines and techniques. How many of us are as smart as men and women of the past. We should have no doubt about ancient peoples ability to navigate and cross the oceans, build impressive objects.

I study biology in Romania and I find this channel super interesting. The Bible makes so much sense. Thank you answers in genesis May God bless you all

I absolutely love it when you say, if we want to learn about the native people "we should ask THEM about their history" instead of assuming, guessing and outright lying, then calling it history.

Grateful for what you do, and for all those at AnswersInGenesis. Keep up the awesome, inspiring work!

My daughter found a large pottery sherd that was identified by a pottery expert as Mid-Late Woodland 5:55. She found it in Lake Michigan, WI. It’s 1/2” thick, red clay fabric with fine inclusions, lightly salt-glazed or rubbed, fired mostly entirely all the way through. There was a slightly-curled lip and it was fairly wide, so it had to have been a great shipping vessel for seed or grain or the like. From about 1 and 1/2 “, there are three bands of equally spaced, small, punctate stabs and slashes, with a horizontal, continuous fine line around what would have been the perimeter of the lip/opening. It’s amazing to own something so old. I debated having a First Nations expert identify it and then I would donate to their affiliation but I am Native American, and it was given to me by my daughter when she was a young girl, and I cherish it. ❤

As a Native American situated in Canada 2023. My ancestors discovered you when my ancestors read the bible in residential schools across the Americas Referring to your title of your KZfaq video ❤ love from Canada and USA kids.. #facts

After months of looking online I did find a used hard copy of the Red Record. It is in good condition. After watching your videos I just had to read it and found it fascinating. Keep up your excellent work.

Answers in Genesis needs to make a Playlist specifically for all of Dr. Jeansen's work. It's hard to find some of his videos in the video feed.

I recently purchased on a whim a book at a thrift store in Caledonia MO. It is the autobiography of Chief Red Fox. It has opened my eyes in a number of ways and this video comes along at the perfect time. Thank you!

It used to bother me of not knowing where I came from. But now all that matters is where I AM GOING But it truly doesn’t matter in Yeshua eyes because when we become believers we are ONE IN HIM. THE TRUE FAMILY OF GOD. I did finally find out my Mothers side were German Jews and my grandmother said there was Blackfoot in the ancestry

As First Nations myself. The movement issue is known by most indigenous people. The one component that many seem to forget is the disease 🦠 issue. Many tribes were killed off when first contact happened.

Love what you have done. I have always been interested in our native people and their history. Thank you for not treating the native as if they don’t know what they are talking about.

Nathaniel, I really love what you are doing here . Keep up the good work 🙂

As others have pointed out I think it is very interesting the the Delaware people came to North America so late in the timeline. The Vikings were here on the east coast by 1000 AD and to think the Delaware came about 900 AD is almost mind blowing. It goes to show the constant state of flux the world was in anciently and how no one can really claim to be the first people here.

This is a great video. I’m glad there is someone doing this. I have known for a few years that there are stories told by different nations or people that have been totally glossed over or blatantly, ignored previously by archaeologists and anthropologists, especially when they were being funded by the Smithsonian or other institutions of so-called higher learning. They continue to uphold and push forward, the narratives of people like Powell , and don’t bother to just asking hey… Where did you come from? One thing I will add is that some of the information that you have about the Navajo called them selves the Dineh… is incomplete. They say that the old people tell them that they came originally from the east. However, there were other people that were from further up north, and already living there out west that were absorbed into the Dineh. So I’m going to differ with you about the whole they came from the north narrative. There is an elder by the name of Walter Brown who has recently come out and started putting this information out into the public. There are other people in his nation who are not happy about this, but the truth needs to be given to people finally. a lot of things are not what we think they are. People who are now in the south started out up north or out west and people who are now in the north or at West ended up coming from somewhere else. Some of the people who lived in south, and Central America came up into North America and conquered and pillaged, and took slaves and returned back down there with those slaves, or in some cases, some of them stayed in North America and settled in the area and became a part of the bloodline here. It’s very confusing and complex. We may never get all the answers but it’s good that you have done this video because that’s a step in the right direction.. the number of first nations, absorbed other peoples that were decimated by war, disease, or encroachment of other groups of people that took their land just like the Catawba nation down in my neck of the woods. They are made up of many other peoples and tribes that were absorbed into their nation. If you ask the history books, they will tell you that many tribes went extinct. This is not true. They were absorbed into other groups, and given shelter and protection, and became one of the clan or the family. This is how people used to do things in ancient Europe as well. Most European Americans do not know their ancestry or where they came from or anything about their ancient ancestors. The North American peoples do remember. Some of them wrote it down. Others inscribed things upon stone or slate or left engravings upon metal. The rest have simply carried the stories down as an oral tradition.

Amazing! Thank you for covering this, Dr. Nathaniel! I'm Brazilian and our Indigenous history is explained in such a secular way that is hard to track things that really matter. My grandfather was half-indigenous, and the place he grew up got mixed with free black slave groups. They got so mixed that it is hard to trace "pure" indigenous there. Fascinating history!

Just going to add this. In Montana there is the Museum of the Rockies that includes a section dedicated to Native American tribes that were found in Montana, including the Blackfeet. One plaque is called "Origins of the People," and describes their origin myths. The Blackfeet say this: "Old Man, Napi, made the animalsand then molded clay into a human shape and said, 'You must be People.'" Which is definite proof that the Blackfeet retained the core truth of Genesis, despite beimg completely isolated from Israeli history.

Love the historical content and connection to migration over distance. One recommendation: instead of drawing migration lines from arrival point back to point of origin, using an arrow to indicate where the tribes came from, I think the visual conflicts a bit with change over time, to explain migration with clarity. I would recommend drawing migration lines from point of original to next destination/final destination area, with arrows indicating where the tribe arrived later, rather than using the arrows to indicate start point. Learning new information with complex details is difficult enough to retain, and if visual aids do not flow outward from point of origin to latter destination, then it's more difficult to sort out and retain information accurately - especially in regards to changes in position or formation that occurs over long periods of time. Just a suggestion, but overall, great work here in this video.

God bless you Dr. Jeanson! As always, I thoroughly enjoy seeing the fruits of your labor! I think it's monumental!

Fascinating study. I look forward to the next update. I have some ancestry on the maternal side (great grandmother) and have been curious about history of my ancestors. Thanks for putting together this video.

Fascinating. Putting the pieces together for a truly *global* family tree. Love every chapter in your journey. God bless!

Dr., Your work is amazing! I’m for sure purchasing ‘Traced’ from the Answers in Genesis website! I recently watched your video from about a year ago, on what happened to the ancient Romans, and being part Italian myself, found it really fascinating. Thank you for bringing a logical, accurate, and biblical view to our history as mankind!

Thankful for your work! It is great to see people like you with your skills and humility willing to share their work. Keep it up!!

I saw your last video, and I was left thinking there's so much more!! Thanks for the update!

I have both books which are really terrific. This is so very interesting. Thank you, and Answers in Genesis, for the amazing work

Can't wait till you cover the heavner ruinstones. Lots of Hebrew writings there. Thanks for all your work.

Keep up the great work, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson and AIG. This work is of paramount importance and the impact is tremendous. God bless you all

I belive that the phrase "amused myself" probably refers to a way of spending time, not meaning that this person was laughing at his hosts.

I don't know if you already knew this, but I learned from my great grandfather who was part Potowatami that the name Potowatami means "Big nose". Pontiac was a chief and the Potowatami were from Michigan down to Colgate country, that is I believe Kansas. Pomo is my other tribe though small in amount or generations back, but they are a California tribe. I don't know much else about them, but it looks like they were on the Pacific Ocean coast.

I love these videos. I'm mixed Hidatsa. We are in North Dakota, I believe Hidatsa also migrated from Minnesota. Hidatsa had a big part in relation to Lewis and Clark, and Sakakawea on the westward exploration.

I really enjoy your work doctor. Keep it up!

Always fantastic information! I really appreciate the factual information and scientific information. Truly empirical scientific information provided. You are a blessing to many, keep up the great work!

Thanks for your impressive research!

The written language of the Cherokee is very much similar to Hebrew writings

This is so fascinating and answers the faulty assumptions of the common "science" put forth in education. Thank you.

The evil were the Giants

Countless thanks, for sharing this fascinating historical information with us all. My respect and admiration for Native Americans has increased largely. 👍👍 10⭐

This is great! I'm on the roll from my mother's side. Thank you for doing this work.

Absolutely Love your work! God Bless it, and you!

So much amazing information. I’m eating all this up. Leo it coming my friend, you’re work is appreciated!

Great presentation: well organized and presented. Evidence driven, rational thought !!

Menominee is near Eau Claire . In Wisconsin there were Frenchmen that interfaced with these earlier peoples and also had a written language. French accounts my help corroborate this study

Being a Great Lakes resident, it's interesting, the evolution in pronunciation of "Ojibwa". Because the "O" is so muted that it's almost imperceptible, the "jib" sounds more like "chip" and of course ending in "wah". So the closest phonetic pronunciation is "Chip-wah", which is why the Europeans called them "Chipp-ew-wa" (Jibwa).

Great series, love it so far!

I really enjoyed your talk, fascinating subject, I definitely think you are on to the correct history, its more believable than the history that the mainstream promotes. 🇬🇧👍

The indigenous tribes do not take credit for building the mound structures, they claim they are caretakers of them.

Very intriguing. Thank you for this presentation 😊

God bless your work!

Your videos should be required viewing in the education system!

Nice, it’s time. The truth is being told.

Fascinating subject and presentation. Thank you.

*THIS IS VERY EXCITING* History is starting to make sense! God bless you all!

If you put aside dates, looking at your map and the description for the Talegus in the red record. It is a match but not for the Cahokians, for they are too far south. The Talegus or moundbuilders cities and forts were near the great lakes region according to the red record. The only moundbuilders around 200+CE was the Hopewell who are gone by 400CE. The Lenni-Lanape say they inhabited the lands of the Talegus near the great lakes which is Hopewell land. After the Hopewell there are no moundbuilders around the great lakes. The next moundbuilder nation shows up south, down the Mississippi, where the Lenni-Lanape said they drove the Talegus. It all fits, The Hopewell, your map, oral histories of Native Americans, and the red-record.

Fantastic work! Thank you.

Thank you for this. I have wondered for many years!

Outstanding work! Thank you so much.

Question: would you put all your findings in a book??? Especially once you have as much as is humanly possible concerning the people's of the early part of this land prior to and up to, say, the early 1900's. Such a book would be not only of great interest but an incredible read, not to mention educational. I for one would love to have such a book! Please consider it!!

Why haven't you put a link to the last episode in your video description?

I’m from the Potawatomi Tribe in Ontario! I’m thankful for these videos

Thank you for sharing. :)

Thanks very much appreciated. Luke si many here in the usa my great grandma was Cherokee. She died when i was young and little was known about her past. My mother did one of the dna tests that confirmed my great grandma's story but even with that we know nothing really. So i just wanted to say thanks.

Only missed it by about 130 years. The Kensington runestone shows that at least one time there were Europeans that were visiting as far west as Wisconsin or Minnesota I'm trying to remember where Kensington is. I think it's in Minnesota. You also should already have read the observations of William Penn who stated that the Hopewell tribesmen had a unique tendency to follow every single Hebrew customer had tradition that exists within Biblical scripture and known Jewish practices. As for the Hopewell tribe, there is a narrative of their origin. The white man just doesn't seem to know how to walk to them and ask them specifically. Because no less than at least two of the tribes said that they came in boats from the East. And settled in this country and expanded from there.

thank you for your presentation. much enjoyed. God Bless

You have the ability to contact leadership on ANY reservation and find out what their protocols are. You may want to consider becoming more personally involved and put "yourself" out there ✌️💫

I love this channel and I love history. I live in Delaware and there are these plaques that I love to read since I was a kid describing the Indian tribes who lived here in the 1500s called the Blackhawk tribe.

Does the third split you have at 1140 AD correspond to the disappearance of the Anasazi in the southwest around 1200 AD?

Okay, I like this. My daughter will love it. Sent her the link, described what to expect, and she's excited.

Fantastic information thank you!

I live in Northern California, and the tribe is pronounced "Mee-Wok" from my understanding. That's how my Pomo friend produces it. So I'm sure he's right. Great video

So much information good information but I thought my brain was going to explode with the overload of information I’m so glad that you’re looking into the history of the Native Americans

Thank you Dr. I bought your book " Traced" I am enjoying it very much.

Many tribes speak of cannibal giants that were in the land when they came here. Lots of stories of them being killed off, like the Lovelock cave incident. It would be awesome for you to look into the giants, as they were here 1st.

Thank you for all you do, AIG 🙂🙏✝️ May the Lord continue to bless you in all things

thanks for the presentation. Would love to have you include all of north america that includes mexico and central.

Fascinating overlooked history.

Awesome work!

I am part Cherokee and my grandmother was full Cherokee and she used to tell us that Cherokees were one of the lost tribes of the 13

I am a descendant of Odawa and Ojibwe bloodlines. A number of my maternal great-great-great-grandparents were pure blood natives. One, Paw-zhe-daw-naw-quot, was a chief of the Beaver Island Band of Odawa Native Americans in Michigan prior to the Latter-Day Saints takeover and attempted Christianization of the Natives on that island, resulting in many families leaving. I largely descend from Odawa blood, but it is all mixed. According to tradition, the Odawa, Ojibwe and Potawatomi were once a mighty people known as the Anishinaabe. We came from the east and were known by our neighbors as the "People of the Dawn Land". Our ancestors say we were a part of the Abenaki people or dwelled among them. Then seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would have to leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west to strange lands in search of an island in the shape of a turtle. This island will be linked to the purification of the earth. Such an island was to be found at the beginning and at the end of their journey. Along the way they would find a river connected two large, sweet water seas. This river would be narrow and deep as though a knife had cut through the land (St. Lawrence River). They would stop seven times to create villages, but they would know that their journey was complete when they found food growing on the water. If they did not leave, there would be much suffering and they would be destroyed. They would be pursued and attacked by other nations along the way, so they must be strong and ready to defend themselves. The Second Prophet told them they could recognize the Second Fire because while they were camped by a sweet water sea (Niagara Falls) they would lose their direction and that the dreams of a little boy would point the way back to the true path, the steppingstones to their future. The Third Prophet said that in the Third Fire the Anishinaabe would find the path to the lands prepared for them and they would continue their journey west to the place where the food grows upon the water (Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin). The Fourth Prophet was two who came as one. The first told them to expect a race of people who had light skin. The future of the Anishinaabeg would be known by the face the light-skinned people would wear. If they came in brotherhood (the French) there would be a time of wonderful change. New knowledge would be joined with the old knowledge and the two peoples would join to make a mighty nation (Canada). If they come carrying a weapon and if they seem to be suffering, beware (the British). Behind this face is greed. You shall recognize the face of death if the rivers are poisoned, and the fish are unfit to eat (America). The Fifth Prophet said that in the time of the Fifth Fire there will be a struggle between the way of the mind of the light-skinned people and the natural path of spirit of the many nations of natural people. As this fire loses its heat there will come among the people those who promise great joy and salvation. If the people accept this promise and abandon the old ways, the struggle will continue for many generations. This promise is false, and it will nearly destroy those who accept it. The Sixth Prophet told them that in the time of the Sixth Fire it would be clear that the promise accepted during the Fifth Fire was false. For those who were deceived by this promise will take their children away from the teachings of the elders. The elders will lose their purpose in life and many will become sick and die. Many people will be out of balance and the cup of life will become the cup of grief. The Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come when there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die. Much of the forests and prairies would be gone so the air would begin to lose the power of life. The way of the mind brought to the red, black and yellow nation by the white nation would bring danger to the whole earth. In this time, there will be a new people who emerge from the clouds of illusion. They will retrace their steps to find the treasures that had been left by the trail. The stories that had been lost will be returned to them. They will remember the Original Instructions and find strength in the way of the circle. Their search will take them to the elders and the new people will ask for guidance. But many of the elders will have walked the Path of the Souls to the Star Web. Many elders will have forgotten their wisdom and will not be able to help. Some of the elders will point in the wrong directions and others will remain silent because of their fear. Some elders will be silent because no one has asked them for their wisdom. If the New People will find trust in the way of all things, in the circle, they will no longer need the selfish voice of the ego and they can begin to trust their inner voice. Wisdom will be once again found in dreams of the night and of the day. The sacred fire will once again be lit. The light-skinned people will be given a choice between two paths. If they choose the right path, the Seventh Fire will light and the Eighth Fire and final fire of brotherhood and sisterhood. If they choose the wrong path, remaining on the path of the mind, then the destruction they brought with them will come back to destroy them. The people of the earth will experience suffering and death. Along the Great Salt Water in the East, life was full and rich for the people, the Anishinaabeg. After the Seven Prophets came to them, there were many large gatherings to discuss their predictions. Many people did not want to move away from their homes with their families and begin a long migration through strange lands. Some unselfishly supported those who believed in the power of the prophecies and were ready to follow because they thought it was in some way part of the Creator's Plan (Possibly, the earliest Ojibwe). One group supported the plans to follow the Megis into the unknown lands of the setting sun, but they pledged to stay and care for the eastern fire of the people. These people were the Wa-bun-u-keeg', (Wabanaki) the People of the Dawn. Five hundred years later they would be among the first to be caught in the death and suffering by the light-skinned people that had been promised. By the time of the Fourth Fire, their homes, families and villages were torn apart and they would be scattered, lose their roots and their dominion. Today, these people are the Abenaki. These are my people. The U.S. government does not recognize their sovereignty as a tribal entity. Many Abenaki have moved to Wisconsin and Michigan to rejoin their lost relatives in hopes to start the Seventh Fire. Today, the O-dah-wahg' are the called the Ottawa, or Odawa. They were responsible for providing the people with their food and supplies and were known as the Keepers of the Trade. The O-day'wah-to-me are called the Potawatomi. They were responsible for tending the fire and hearth, they were known as the Keepers of the Fire. The Ojib-way are called the Ojibwe, commonly known by another name, the Chippewa. They were known as the Keepers of the Faith. As a proud descendant from the Ojibwe, we have kept faith.

These ancient people don’t seem to have journals, logs or diaries. Most of their history seems to be figurative imagery from someone’s recollection.

I'm 44% Native and I'm very interested in this.

My Amish neighbors informed us they are the only Amish who can prove to have an American Indian ancestor: sure enough, I researched and quickly found the story. Very interesting!

My kids are 1/2 Navajo their father was 4/4. Unfortunately he passed away but my kids can be involved if u need more ppl. I have 2 sons and a daughter. I’m very fascinated with all the work you have done so far! So interesting! God bless

Did you have a longer video on the eschatology and spiritual battle aspect?

Great stuff.

In case you didn't realize it, the US government has always illtreated and maginalized the native peoples. Canada does the same thing to its native peoples, the are treated horribly from my understanding. So thank you for cutting through the garbage and bringing the truth to light of our native peoples. They deserve to have their heritiage remembered.

Now apply the heartland/Hopewell model to The Book of Mormon, and you'll have real complete picture.

Fascinating!

Thank you ❤

Ask the Mohicans why they hold the alligator as their most sacred animal and they'll tell you it's because that is the first animal their ancestors saw when they came to this land in boats.

Sup, love your contribution to genetics with biblical perspective Nathaniel!!

Thanks, Answers in Genesis.

Fascinating

I am Blackfoot- Kainaih or Blood. We have a history called the "winter count".

You need to work out the Canadian Maritimes Potawatomie tribe and their movement (with French and British invasion into Canada) westward into Ontario and eventually into Wisconsin and then of all things down into Iowa reservation. My aunt (of such Iowa Potawatomie Indian chief heritage) and French intermarriages, had her own family movement all the way to Washington State, where our Wisconsin-heritage English familly came in WW II, and uncle married her.

Santa Clarita, CA students learned Tatavium history. - Since this was the area that the Tatavium used as their trading hub.

Have you guys seen any of Navajo Traditional Teachings content? Very knowledgeable and speaks about Christianity as well.

I think most native people would say they where here in the americas from there benginings. This is why they dont want anyone to dig on there lands becauae it would show other people there before them.

Amazing video! Question, what is the most accurate genetic test to determine where my family comes from? I grew up thinking my family was Native American on my mothers side but because she grew up in a place and time where that was something you didn't outright say, they never really knew the truth of where they came from (my mothers sisters and brothers). They all have Native American features and grew up in New Brunswick Canada. I would love to finally figure this out if possible. I appreciate your response in advance

That is fascinating about the Algonquin tradition of their people arriving from across the sea. Mound 72 at Cahokia has several notable individuals including the one referred to as "Birdman" who was laid to rest on a bed of over 20,000 marine shell disc beads arranged in the pattern of a Falcon. The shells perhaps a tribute/honor of their past maritime origin.

Thank you for giving me a wider view of American history. Looking back on the history I recall. We have a very European based view on history of every part of the world. Because the top is the focus of that history. 😢 a very narrow view. But only so much can be taught and absorbed in a day. Most education is limited to the school buildings
