Native American societies before contact | Period 1: 1491-1607 | AP US History | Khan Academy 

The fact that I’m here from a class and I’m just reading comments is so fun to me-

POV: you are here from a link your teacher gave you

POV: Youre here to avoid actually reading the pages you were assigned

I recommend 1.5 speed

your teacher assigned this to you too?

I’m pretty sure every student is reading the comments instead of listening... Now I have to watch it again...

POV: your reading another POV comment

Anyone here cause of your teacher?😂🤷‍♀️

Thank you for this! So useful to our multi cultural studies.

Considering that the native Americans were insanely smart in regards to plants (medicines/food/complimentary efficient growing patterns), animals (American bison cultivating), terraforming (helping fires to burn large tracts of land) I'm fairly certain they had established patterns that didn't over hunt an area and had long discovered what plants could be transplanted where, and what plants game animals preferred. To the point patches of edible natural vegetation might not have even been by mistake but planted purposefully to attract plentiful game to those areas. Those humans were more then likely planting native edibles in their summer and winter spots and along the trails they frequented. Wiether they did so by just eating berries and pooping, or someone had taken the time to see how plants sprout, and from what they sprouted from, or some combination of the 2, that still constitutes as "agriculture" just on a continental scale. I'm fairly certain they were nowhere near as static as your hunter/gatherer to farmer models.

We've always been here, since Atlantis sunk

Nations of Indigenous Peoples were always here.

Not here for school but still loving it

Came from a link from teacher

I was looking for a video that started with the crossing of the Bering strait from Eurasia. thanks!

teacher sent me here:) anyone else

Ratatatattaa- I came here from a link my teacher gave- SKRRRRRR- hi person- have a nice day-

You Make it so easy

I am doing this last-minute :))) its due in 1 hour

Does anyone have the summary of this video?? for like school or somthin

Ok I came here bc my teacher assigned this to me lol and I am surprised this actually has comments on it-

Good info.

Nice video.

does the boat migration theory really have enough popularity and traction to warrant this kind of mention? It feels revisionist, the best explanation is there were waves of migration and already formed ethnic groups that formed mixed ethnicities etc before reaching the tip of south america, this explains diff haplogroup concentrations and why northern migrations are more similar to siberians. it is possible polynesians or australoid peoples came to peru from rapa nui and then went all the way up to california but it's not at all fully proven they mixed and became a central part of ethnic groups idk how to phrase that. people have been trying to say the natives of the Pacific NW, California, all of Peru are polensians it's hard to say for sure where influence begins and ends imo I'm no expert at all just my two cents

Nice !

It cuts off because I should go to website?

Anyone eles here because you wanna learn about the Native Americans up on the north

Amerindians were already advanced in many ways by themselves excluding gun powder, explosives, And steel weaponry

Mah-eez, Maiz

the first Americans actually arrived in North America around 33,000 years ago

1. When does the story of America Begin? help me pls 2. What is the estimated population of Native people in the Americas by the time of the arrival of the Europeans? 3. Why was the domestication of maze a major development for Native people? 4. How Natives of the Plains adapted to their environment? 5. Who and why created very complex irrigation projects? 6. What region was good for fishing? 7. Why could Cahokia sustain such a large population? 8. In a few words, please explain how did Europeans impacted Native People’s way of life? Class comments

woah thats cool

The question I keep coming up with since there’s this correctness in accurately calling people by what is social and politically acceptable these days. We no longer call the people that existed on this continent Indians, because they inhabit a completely different region of land on a whole different continent. Then there’s the name Native American, which I feel is also incorrect for two reasons. It was mistaken used to name this continent only because Amerigo’s name was the only name on the map he had printed and was use for the geographic area where the Europeans were now living in. Also, this wasn’t the name the locals had been calling the territory they called home. They might be called The indigenous people of the new found continent, then you would add the region that they lived in such as Big Basin. Granted it’s too long of a name to be used on a continuous basis, but then that when an acronym is created. But I’m not one to create a brand name for anything. The name Mexico has been used for a long period of time, although with many various iterations surrounding the name itself. You see there North America with Canada and the US, then there’s Central and South America, but Mexico, I felt like it has been an outsider to all areas with the American name attached to it. But that might be a good thing regarding it’s identity. However, they under the assumption that Spanish is suppose to be their native or primary language. Which it is not. It is the language of their conquerors, the indigenous population had their culture burned and language stripped from their existence violently under the guise of Christianity. Tell me who raped and pillaged whom?

Native Americans were always in America

Hopi lore says the spider lady led them out of the underground caves.

Use 1.75x, shes the slowest talker Ive ever heard

that is intresting.

POV- your here from a video link your teacher sent you

cool vidio kim!!!!

Can someone tell me How are native Americans tribes way of life affected by its region.

They were more in tune with nature and spirit.

I love the way she narrates the whole thing! :) It was fun learning through this video. I enjoyed it, ;)

Who is here from mr Collins?

Make America great again. Like this though.

What grade are you guys because I'm in 4th grade

There were thousands of Tribes in the americas before the colonial genocide of our people. Each tribe having their own language. How could this be possible? Because we were and have always been civilized people who respected and treated each other humanely. HIS STORY is not always history.

I think your math is a little off I believe Europeans meaning Vikings showed up before the 1400 like 500 years before Christopher Columbus

Yea ok

Quick question. If perhaps they came over on boats, did they have knowledge of cultivation before or after they set sail? How long did it take them to domesticate maize? And what did they take with them to eat on the boat ride?

Very nice video!

Remember Native only means to be born in . Indigenous or Aboriginal mean they come directly from the soil... And 15,000 yrs ? Their is no beginning nor ending to this world . We been here for billions of yrs

same here

The Spaniards mixed with North American natives before the Anglo Americans arrived to the west to California.

keep it up:)

Is it me, or does the narrator have a weird, unpleasant cadence to her speech? Very distracting for an otherwise interesting video.

there were a million houma ndns in Louisiana alone

3.49

That's a lot of people that were here 1st!!!

The only reason I can actually stand listening to this is because the woman sounds like Stevie from GMM

THE VOICEW

I wish she did my brothers who went down to the South Americas

It's not clear to see it's.

What about the domestication of the potato?

Indeed, reports of 60-100 million Natives in North America alone. Something they didnt ramble off in history class.

I wonder what the world would look like if there hadn't been colonial interest in the world, and Native American societies advanced without being decimated by colonists - would there be entire different societies?

but where did they come from ?

If anyone wants to checkout a unknown mississippian site I made a video showing one around my families land, its a big rock bluff with red paintings and 2 caves

you are here for work answers

Who else is here from Mr. Hill? -Diego Cedillos

America is the old world.

You never hear The Asias, Europas , The Africas ect … We are America !

One wierd thing who i dont understand is why north americans Native have be more "peacefull" than south or central American ones , aztecs and mayan make many human sacrifice , south americans like Brazilian ones have been more brutal ever they believe If they eat the corpse of the fallen enemys of battle they Will absorve the strengh and Power of their enemy ! Many portuguese scrips Tell that .. TUPI , guarani , tupinambá , tamoios and the most brutal one as been the GOITACÁ tribe who eat any kind of human who they capture .. , its Crazy ancient history ... , The First imigrants who come from beringia dont ever could become this wierd cultural things , they seen to be more "peacefull" maybe they are a diferent human worde of ancient imigracion? Maybe polynesian ? Its a facination part of history

What if native Americans came from theMexico in caves and expanded upwards and south 🤔

How come those calling themselves Indians or Natives NOW aren’t master farmers or productive with ANY produce in natural environment

can someone give me the answers

I could make a pun about domesticating plants into crops, but I think it would be too...lame. But in all seriousness, thank you Khan Academy so much for these videos, and everything else over the years!
