This episode begins with a little story time. Then we try to reach back into prehistory and discover how the Five Nations came together, and where they came from.
Thanks for this. I do not know much about the history of America's indigenous first peoples, so when the topic came up in conversation the other day, I thought I'd look into some of it again. Your video talks about the origins of the Iroquois - nice! And yet, like any take in history, there is always a "before," and I would like to know more about that as well. These peoples who eventually came to their semi-sedentary existence that gave rise to these sociopolitical organizations, well, they had forebears who had ancestors, too. Love history! 😉
Great start to an exciting series. I may have started with V... 😳🤷🏻♂️was hyped to hear you reference the Iroquois history and legend podcast it really is awesome them dudes do a great job. Check out the work of EG Squire. His book aboriginal monuments of New York State is readable online. I think you will enjoy the site surveys of ancient indigenous fortifications all over NY. Made me wanna go on an archaeology hunt in my back yard.
I would love to get in contact. I’m kanienkehaka (Mohawk). My family knows a lot of the philosophy of the kaianerekowa (the tree of peace). We could share a lot

It’s so good to find people with the same fascinations! This is so great! It’s just what I’ve been looking for. I am endlessly fascinated by the indigenous history of all N.America, but specifically around the Great Lakes. The European involvement is interesting in it’s own right.. but the time before they arrived is what really gets me! It was truly another world. The Iroquoian peoples are very cool, because they existed in all these like, chiefdoms, around the lakes. The Wendat are my favourite because I grew up in S. Ontario, but that is a bias I suppose. Among the Algonquians, the Ojibwe are definitely my favourite, because of their epic, victorious wars against the Iroquois and Sioux(during the European period). The Sioux only became a mighty warrior nation of the plains, because they were driven from the Great Lakes region by the Ojibwe.
this is going to be a fun podcast series to! ameican history gets a bad rap for being boring or only really starting when Jamestown was founded and survived, when in acruality, you expand the scope out from its extremely anglo focus and towards the other europenas that were trying to colonize the continent, the various native american tribes and confederacies and nations that existed and still exist today, and of course the truly weird stuff that never gets mentioned in APUSH.
I've heard a story of war party's as far as south America and brang some gautamolia people back that is how bad the five tribes were for the thirst of blood was

We started in NY and the other tribes tried to move in but we're mostly absorbed or eating because the five tribes were that brutal, gorilla warfare and cannibalism was everyday for us
