I'm definitely falling asleep to this 700 times

It's nice that such an in-depth documentary is available to us for free.

So I’m not the only one who falls asleep to history documentaries? Woohoo!!!

I love history and I love getting good sleep. This channel’s videos have been my lullabies recently.

I love that they have people from each area talking about their own culture. It brings such a rich tapestry of life from which to learn and understand. Also this show includes way more than just the Americas. We are a fascinating species.

If it’s one thing I love about the internet is the instant access to FREE In depth information about anything .

I wish I had some kind of time machine so that I could observe ancient people.

I’m always in awe learning about our ancient past and histories❤

For myself this documentary is a most worthwhile 3 hours anyone with interest in indigenous humanities could spend expanding their minds, knowledge & cultural horizons on KZfaq. An absolute visual masterpiece depicting the amazing variety of life ways in the Americas, with such descriptive dialogue and spirituality so eloquently delivered by descendants of pre -contact peoples showing the connectivity that existed early on throughout both our hemispheres. Giving long overdue credit & acknowledgment for the countless contributions the indigenous peoples have retained & given humankind gives me much hope and inspiration. Keep up the fine work in creating such great documentaries to help educate people & especially our children.

This was soooo good!! It took me a few days to watch it completely but i learned a few new things! I am caribbean, and i really wish i could find more documentaries of our natives before that man found our islands. esp from countries outside of pr and dr because there were many natives spread out and were other islands as well. In my parents country we have a statue of anacaona in one of the cities.

Exploring the medieval history of the Americas offers viewers a unique cultural enrichment opportunity. Understanding the origins and achievements of indigenous societies can foster greater respect and recognition of their descendants who are still an integral part of the American fabric today.

The narrators voice is so soothing. It’s like I’m listening to a bedtime story.

Excellent! Very valuable history to preserve. I am sad that many native americans are living so bad today but a little of their ancient culture lives in those who watch these videos and study their history. Peacemaker’s lesson is much needed in today’s World 🙏🏻

Hands down one of the best documentaries I have seen. It is an absolute treat to see the effort that went into this.

This video is amazing. An absolute wealth of information and the dramatisations are quite immersive and cinematic, indeed. A great resource for an historical timeline I've been obsessively creating since last year.

Love the Oral History being passed to intertwine w/ Historical Facts. Oral History on my Native Culture by Ma Dearest b. 1891-2000 who lived 29 years of my life definitely impacted greatly myself in traditions and wisdom pssed on as Great-Granddaughter my native named FIERY EARTHCHILD and Family as a whole. When Covid came, we had her booklet of remedies, recipes, etc . Self Taught Botanist, Medicine Woman Of Wisdom, Hunter and Gatherer etc. Enjoyed watching this documentary, very well done and enjoyed reading many comments. Many families I know, like us were able to hold on to items museums could not showcase behind glass they refuse to trade. Forward this video to others to enjoy. Proud Choctaw Blackfoot Cherokee Descendant.

I could listen to native people tell their stories and legends all day, they're so interesting.

One of the most comprehensive and engaging histories of the americas. More than worth the 3 hours. Brilliant

Beautiful Videos such as this should be mandates in every schools curriculum!

Language carries the essence of cultural beliefs and identity. It's SO important to preserve it, not just for the people whose tradition it is, but for EVERYONE. My heart goes out to people who are doing this important work. What a great series of videos this is! Thank you!

I’m a member of the Choctaw tribe , I don’t live near the reservation and I never learned too much about it it was always just something cool about myself but this has made me definitely want to find out more about the community 🥰

What a powerful message! I've been saying a lot of what you were lately. I've always believed that we are all a part of one and that we are all connected to each other. I really liked the part about learning to listen to our own inner thoughts and prayers. I do feel that we all have the answers to our problems if we can only learn to listen to the good within ourselves and learn how to reject the negative thoughts.

Such a great video! It was not only visually appealing but also very insightful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

This is a good refresher coarse for those of us who participated in school in the 70s and early 80s . This was taught in world history and there were many programs on PBS TV channels , considering there were at most 5 or 7 channels to choose from back theni in Cleveland Ohio. I remember my oldest brother in the 9th grade and my dad helping him build a Inca city model on the dining room table for a class project , they my brother spent weeks on it. My dad made him do the work he just guided him on the layout and accuracy of the buildings.

So many of these chronicles are like fairytales. They portray a culture that never knew hunger or disease until the white man came. However, they are real people with real struggles and you've done a great job of portraying that.

It's great to know I'm not alone! Free, in-depth documentaries like this are truly invaluable. And yes, the diversity of perspectives showcased here makes for a truly enriching experience.

The storytelling skills are amazing. It's engaging from start to finish.

I appreciate hearing from experts with ethnic connection to the peoples discussed in the documentary.

I grew up in central Iowa. We had what was called a potluck. A spinoff from potlatch, idk. It was mainly associated with our church fellowship. We usually had one at least once a month. Each family, brought a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a dessert. Some of the richer folk would bring an added salad dish too. That's a lot of food, especially when the membership on Sunday was pushin' 300+. There were 8 of us kids. The Coster's beat all, in kids.(14? was it). The church provided the tea, coffee, sugar and creamer. We brought our own table setting. But if there were visitors, there was plates, silverware, cups and glasses in the church kitchen. Everybody got something to eat, and then some. Usually by the end of the day, 2-3p, folks started packing up their dishes and headed home. Farm community, many had chores to do, before turning around and coming back at 630p for Sunday night services too. The kids played inside and outside. In the summertime, we'd conqueror the city parks and have our potlucks there too. Until they built a bigger kitchen and gym. That was nicer, and cooler in the summertime. The folks sat around and visited. Doing genealogy, and this was something that came with our ancestor pioneers. Most came from PA, MA, NY, VA, KY, OH, IN, IL, WI states. And monthly potlucks was a common practice with them too. This meal setting was also a common practice for weddings too. Saved gobs on money, but the bride's family provided the cake. When I moved to Oklahoma. Potlucks at the church I went to, sucked. Okie's are stingy when it comes to feeding a crowd. Many show up with fork in hand, but no food! I tried and tried to get folks to bring the three dish meal so everybody could get something to eat. We were also feeding several young, bachelors that could eat a house empty. It was horrible. Loving people though.

This is awesome!!! So much respect for our native brothers and sisters. ❤️❤️❤️

I fell asleep listening to this, and now i can speak the native language perfectly.

Absolutely love early history worldly and America's. Just fascinating. Thank you👌

My mother was descended from the Powhatan/Mattaponi who once called most of Virginia, along the Bay to Maryland, home, and now number less than 300 and are surrounded by the cities of Hampton and Newport News.

Thanks for sharing this amazing documentary! I feel so much part of my indigenous ancestors. ❤🇩🇴❤️🇺🇸🙏🇹🇷🌏

Your passion for history shines through in this video! Keep up the amazing work!

Awesome documentary Beautiful setting and editing Thank you for sharing ❤

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful video. I found it very emotional as a descendant of native America heritage and a someone deeply connected to our natural home. It's a nightmare taking place for far to long. There is no reversal of the destruction that's destroyed everything. People are asleep and dont see or understand the value of the natural world. I die inside everyday because of it.

Very Enlightening

I am a desendant of Aztec.. now were calledNorthern Paiute shoshone mono . We speak uto Aztecan.

Wonderful documentary, Wonderful , thankyou.🌟💖🌟

Fascinating voyage through Native American Culture - absolutely beautiful and important documentary-thank you so much!

Thank you. The great stories of the native cultures. I've learned a lot.

Iroquois is a fabulous and beautiful language and culture. I am 53 and have been fascinated since I was a little boy. Thank you.

Very insightful content. I enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you.

Made me so happy to watch this entire thing. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing amount of knowledge about indigenous people all over the world. All of the science, math, art, navigation, astronomy, and unity that they possessed so early on is mind boggling. I love learning and watch so many documentaries, I have never seen anything like this so thoughtfully put together. Thank you for educating me. What was taken away from the indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States is an atrocity. It’s horrific. I hope that as some of your lands are being returned to you, as some of the bones of and your ancestors, and precious relics have been returned, I pray that the rivers of salmon, and support for your schools to help teach your languages to your will come. Love and prayers ❤️🙏

What a great documentary. This is one to watch over and over

Soooo well done!! ❤

The Australian aboriginals are one of the oldest peoples in the world. But up until the late 1700s they were still pretty much hunters and gatherers living in the Stone Age...

Extremely interesting stuff. Thank you for this!

Can I just say I have been folding laundry and doing chores all while watching this. It was sooooo good!!! Thank you for the wisdom. I definitely googled the weather on the day of my birth, and man it is cool to think of it as our own "weather" 🤩✨ thank you indigenous societies!!! 💖💖💖

The best documentary I've seen about Indigenous Americans. Well done!

very interesting video

Thank you for sharing this video. It was well done and informative.

For those questioning the lack of exploration of slavery back then, always remember every documentary, book and paper u watch or read on history chooses a specific angle to approach a topic. Due to that, sometimes not all topics are explored. It's very easy to verify this by googling any historical period and reading to see what happened during it. There will be differences in information given, how detailed, a topic covered in one article will be missing in the next or just given a nod to and vice versa. It is for this very reason that any history professor worth their salt will insist you research several sources on the same topic so you can obtain the full picture of what happened.

There's a lot of documentaries out there. Not a whole lot as good as these. Great job

Am totally a fall asleep geek to these vids. Play them all night. 😄😜

thank you for such an amazing documentary! 😍🤩very much appreciate the 'world view' segment as it gave me a deeper appreciation of the ancient indigenous societies in the americas by looking at parallel developments in other ancient cultures around the world 🗺most documentaries i've seen would only focus on the subject at hand with little or no reference to what was happening in other parts of the world. i also appreciate the different erudite voices that told the story of their ancient culture, as if bringing to the present the knowledge and wisdom of their ancestors 🙌

Wow thank you for this information love it❗

Great documentary 👏 👍

When I was younger I used to well, not resent living in the USA, but I was kind of jealous of the rest of the world for having the ancient history that we frankly didn't because we didn't come about till a few hundred years ago. However in the past few years I have been absolutely fascinated with America's real history, the history that we buried and try to make people believe they were just nomadic uncultured unintelligent unimportant Savages. Its truly amazing the history that this land really held prior to the Europeans Conquest. Anybody interested in this should certainly read this series 1491 1492 and 1493. Amazing books

The falling asleep to history videos I love, comments.. thought I was the only weirdo! 😆♥️

Excellent documentary...highly recommended and regarded...will watch again for sure 💜🙏 Highly regard the identification and organisation of the repatriation process for indigenous objects 🙏🙏🙏

And these different native people's murdered each others.

Thank you for the video and you’re hard work

Really Nice Work!

love all this information

I loved this so much that I actually watched it while I was eating lunch. I always watch this stuff to sleep, but it is so fascinating, I can’t wait to learn more!

Over 90 per-cent of the codices were burned by the Catholic priest, over 10,000 years of plant knowledge, lost to stupidity, this is a very impressive show.

Evan Adams, I knew that was you within two sentences.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK PUT INTO THIS.

This is an introductory level video but links to further deepen one’s knowledge or to contribute to these communities is missing from the description or a pinned comment.

I enjoy your channel

Definitely a great and informative watch.

Awesome! Very different from my own heritage. I have long been of the opinion that it the height of academic arrogance to dismiss oral history as inherently untrustworthy. Oral traditions often give us a truer picture of our pasts than high-browed “historical documentation”. (I have lots to say on that topic.) Each language provides us with a different window on the world. Further, each language contains within it unique knowledge of the world in which it exists. And all these things exist for a purpose. They are not whimsy. If one can’t see the purpose, dig deeper. Thank you for all the work.

Great documentary, very informative. So much of the history of the Native American's roots of this land has been wiped from history, good to see this information presented to the world. Thank you.

I was going to say how amazing it is how people long ago adapted to the land they lived in. and then he said it on the video . sadly in the western world most of that is lost. I think we have a habit of adapting our environment to suit us. rather than us adapting to our environment.

This is an excellent documentary.

Very interesting guest Mark I could see everything he talked about being ex Air Force and been to Alaska several times for the Salman fishing. Great video Mark thanks again

What a wonderful documentary. Thank you! I am European and have been interested in the culture of the original/first inhabitants of North and South America since childhood. Recently, I have had a DNA test done and to my delight it provided evidence of a connection.

Everyone needs to view this extremely well done video. Yes, history telling does often need repairing as certainly does the European colonial intrusion beginning in 1492. The Indigenous people living here in the United States cause far fewer problems than others who live here. They don't force their beliefs on us or blow our buildings up. I am not indigenous but my late wife was part Ute. We had a special room in our house dedicated to her American Indian ancestors. Let's hope America's new generation of people get the story right this time. But just to be safe you people keep telling it because it is YOUR story. Peace

The myth of the "noble savage" dispelled in the first couple minutes. Nice!

Oh how I envy the sleepers. These history videos apparently relax them so much that they fall asleep. It’s not fair!

Yarrow is the master of organic sulfur. The roman legions used yarrow leaves to bind wounds ,because of its purification and healing properties.

An ancestry test shows that I have Mayan, Peruvian, Colombian, Inca and Aztec ancestors. Also heritage from another group native to Mexico. That is it for Native American, as far as I can remember. The only place my ancestors didn't hail from is Africa (minus the Out of Africa hypothesis).

The National Pipestone Monument is in the southeast part of Minnesota. It is worth visiting. The Indigenous would travel to get their Pipestone from there. It also has a waterfall and a very beautiful path to walk. As you walk the path, the Indigenous still to this day do ceremonial tobacco rituals, you will see beautiful swaths of colored material.

This is great knowledge of History we never get to hear and see...History of Peoples around the world and how they evolved is fascinating!...Thank You!... If anyone can "fall asleep" to this you must be living a unhealthy Sedentary life...

I found an obsidian arrowhead almost 6ft deep in East Kentucky digging a house foundation. I took it to the local small-town museum who I was close with anyways he told me back then many people think those are fake because they cannot comprehend the vast trading network, but it was starting to become more common knowledge. My father found another 3 miles away from mine the odd where incredible 2 super rare finds deep in the earth and so close together we always like to think it was the same guy who dropped it lost it. But the native artifacts in Kentucky ae vast I know tobacco fields where families have pulled out entire collections hundreds of arrowheads plowing every year. It blows my mind to think how many had to be alive to leave so much behind in such small areas that they did not even live full time in.

Please give us _"The Complete"_ history...

Wonderful 👏 👏

I'm absolutely blown away by how these people lived not survived but lived. They were extremely intelligent and skilled they were so in tune with the earth. I'm always in awe by there ways

I love history 🌟 So interesting. Everyone should learn about human history and the Great civilitations before us. We have a lot to learn from them. Contact with nature and not least the respect they had for the earth's resources.

Wonderful compilation! Thank you!

Im a newcomer. Happy to be here. 😁

What a great way to present this information! By having First Nation people present the stories and facts!!!! Smart. I enjoyed every minute of this video

To hear Inuit is lovely! I was born and raised in Alaska. I grew up along side Inuit and other Alaskan native people. I now work at Alaska Native Health Consortium. Preserving the language and culture is so important.

In Americas before 1491: Laws, rituals, spirituality, war, alliances, conquest, marriage, dancing, dominaion, agriculture, peace, unity, love, privileges, medicine, organized violence, cities, elites, peasants, oppression, smoking, politics, cannibalism, human sacrifice, trade, government, mathematics, astrology, ceremony, life, death, and afterlife. Humans doing human stuff. Cool video! Learned most in school, but in varying amounts of detail.

Amazing thank you⚘️

Beautifully done, enjoyed every second of this video.❤
