Video - Native Americans, from earliest arrivals up to Aztecs.
Video is over 1 hour long, but so informative for an overal view that it is worth watching all at once if you have the time, or saving it to watch in segments. You can just skip the annoying YouTube commercial interruptions as I did..
Thus is a comprehensive documentary of the first people in the Americas, from the earliest arrivals up to 1491, before Europeans. Takes you into the world of those first Americans, what their environment was like, how they survived, and their adaptations and innovations.
Describes early developments in the stages labeled by anthropologists into 3 periods: Paleo (first arrivals), Archaic (spread through the continents with adaptations and changing tool cultures), Woodland (post glacial period). After that, tribal identies and groupings developed and developments varied by regions. Those developments are also covered, from early villages, first agriculture to the first known civilization (Caral in Peru).
Includes ancient Great Lakes Copper Culture (4000 to 6000 years ago), Adena, Hopewell, and Mississippian Cultures, Pueblo and Zuni ancestors, arrival of Navajo (Dine), origins and migrations of Lakota and Dakota, Maya, and Aztec civilizations.
