  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore the rich and complex history of pre-Columbian North America, challenging the old narrative that it was an "empty" land before European arrival. We'll dive into the lives of the dynamic Algonquian and Iroquoian peoples of the Northeast, the impressive Mississippian mound builders, and the master architects of the Pueblo in the Southwest—societies that flourished for centuries. Along the way, we'll highlight figures like Chief Tascalusa and examine the rise and fall of powerful civilizations. We also look at the profound impact of European exploration, from the fur trade to the devastating spread of disease.

    Join us as we uncover the hidden stories of North America's past, recognizing the resilience and influence of pre-Columbian cultures—legacies that continue to shape our world today.
