Canoes were not just made from hollowed out logs. Your information about that was very accurate. However, the Eastern tribes, such as Ojibway and Mohawk, fashioned canoes from birchbark attached to a wooden frame and waterproofed using a mixture of pine resin, oak charcoal, and fat mixed together and heated to create a flexible but permanent coating that could be applied to seams and holes of the canoe's hull. Large canoes based on that design were used by the Voyageurs to traverse the waterways of N. America in the fur trade. Also, your pictures of "bunk beds" were not found in teepees in the west, but in the longhouses of the Iroquois and Algonquian tribes. These longhouses, created out of logs, branches and hides would house several families who would sleep in the beds that lined the walls. In winter fires for warmth and cooking would be lit in the centre of the longhouse under a smoke hole. Normally, the elderly and other disabled people would occupy the bottom bunks and the younger fit people the top. In a teepee people slept on the floor in bedding made of buffalo skins and blankets. There were no beds in these structures because the nature of the teepee was that it could be dismantled and moved from place to place as the Western plains tribes were mainly nomadic, following the herds of buffalo, and other ungulates. Goldenseal wasn't just used for dental care, it was used for colds and other respiratory tract infections, hay fever, ulcers, and digestive upsets such as diarrhea and constipation. (It is still used for these purposes today by some people.) I would suggest that the creators of this presentation didn't do their "homework" very well seeing how much of their information was not only wrong, but poorly presented as many of the pictures did not represent the spoken words.

When I was five or six (early 1960's) we in Britain knew native American's made birch bark canoes but didn't hear about dug out canoe's until much later. There were a lot of westerns on British TV in 1960's also cartoon and puppet shows, the kids programs were often slightly better researched? Some (I've seen Wagon Train, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman and Rawhide) are still being replayed on US TV Until space program came along 'Cowboys and Indian's' was a favourite game so even when inaccurate, we got a 'history lesson'
Thank you for sharing this information , which I'm aware of though not from the Americas , your info is accurate - more so than the creaters appears to be .
The oldest canoe type boat discovered so far is the Pesse canoe, which is believed to be the world's oldest-known boat and certainly the oldest-known canoe. It was discovered in 1955 during the construction of the Dutch A28 motorway, south of the village of Pesse in Hoogeveen through what was a peat bog. The boat is a dugout-style canoe measuring 298 centimeters long and 44 centimeters wide, and it was formed from a single Scots pine log. Carbon dating indicates that the boat was constructed during the early Mesolithic period between 8040 BC and 7510 BC

“Bane” of their agriculture is a negative reference, it says it’s a distressful, frustrating or annoying aspect of a thing, that can’t be what you meant....
Narrator frequently mispronounces words, often only once or twice, before deciding/stumbling upon the accepted pronunciation of the word. First noticed in #7, "Mouth Wash," the most glaring instance is "or-all (oral) health", and "debet (debt) of gratitoodie(gratitude?). And #9, about the use of bunk beds in "tye-pea's" floor space. Very odd, since he pronounced the word correctly in the previous sentence. This must be an artificial intelligence algorithm trying to learn correct pronunciation on the fly.

Usually if something was invented in one part of the world, it was likely simultaneously invented in another part. For example, the jet engine was invented both by Britain and Nazi Germany. I even heard in school about how injection molding of objects was invented by one African nation as well as Europeans. As the old principle goes, if you can think of it, theoretically anyone else could as well.

They didn't invent the syringe... Feel free to google it, this guy is an idiot trying to attribute things to natives when they had nothing to do with them. They also didn't invent mouthwash
Something else they invented was the inner liner for a tipi. Tipis were used around the world, but the North Americans developed the inner liner which lies on the ground and wraps up the side walls to 3 or 6 feet depending on how much insulation they need. Air would enter from the exterior skin which did not extend to the ground. Since the inner liner was on the ground, the air rose up between the skin and liner and kept going to remove smoke through the top vent.
Thank you for this very informative video, because people need to know where many of todays inventions originated. Not everyone that claims inventions actually invented them.
Canoes were in ancient Europe as well. Also, a flint knife from France at the Topper site on the East Coast was left there 19,000 years ago. And the Windover Pond site in Florida was loaded with European bodies. The Younger Dryas event changed things in the Americas. Now they try DESPERATELY to cover up the European history here. Typical.
Actually the three sisters method comes from mesoamerica over 5600 years ago and then was adopted through native america. The first canoe and dug outs can from the Netherlands 8200 years ago. So the orgins are Northern Europe. The oldest syringes actually goes back to the Egypians as do bunk beds. Willow bark has been used by many cultures, the Assyrians of the Sumerian period where among the first that we know of. Not to rain on your paraid, but most of these things predate North American. The sun glass, dream catchers, and moccosins are indigenous...
Agreed, I was taught, as a child, that in the Great Lakes area birch bark canoes were unique to the Native Americans, but dugouts were found around the world in various cultures, so not unique to the Americas. I'm not sure who could claim the first use in history. Also, I do believe the bunk bed formation was used in European ships prior to contact with North America.
Yeah it was wild hearing 1000ad for agriculture. I instantly remembered how in the 1800s American Christians were robbing graves and still slaughtering and displacing "savages" as the measured their skulls and what not. No way of ever knowing the full history because of it. this video was about as accurate as Graham Hancock or Von Daniken.
Meso america is the same as native american both north south and Central America indigenous people dnt have lines in the dirt my Cherokee friend smh 🤦♂️
The Taino-Arawaks for the Caribbean created sophisticated seaworthy large canoes that allowed them to colonize all the islands of the Caribbean. The word CANOE is a Taino word.
Absolutely, the Taino, Caribs or Arawaks were a seafaring people that the historians never mention. I read one researcher state that Taino DNA was found as far north as the Carolinas in coastal tribes. They were sailors like the Polynesians, Caribbean people that were originally from the Amazon sailed all over the Gulf, Caribbean and the Atlantic and Florida. The Taino warned the Florida tribes about the Europeans and when the Spanish landed in Floria the natives were ready, it was the Florida tribes (Calusas) that killed many Spanish plus the Governor. There’s a lot of historical facts that are not taught and even hidden.
Some of these are actually invented by other indigenous cultures from different parts of the world, what freaks me out was the round boat that some indigenous tribes had it is is similar to the round boat used in Egypt
They did not invent the syringe either. The syringe can be traced as far back as ancient Egypt. They didn't invent the canoe either, and there have been many types of dream catchers in the form of amulets and idols that were supposed to protect the person from nightmares or the underworld, etc. As far as moccasins go, leather shoes date back as far as humans do and vary from region and terrian.
As an Iroquois, you're welcome. To expand on your telling of the Dreamcatcher legend...they were hung over the bed, yes, but on a wall which would be bathed in the rays of the Dawn which would destroy the bad dreams stuck in the web. As for bunk beds...tipis didn't have them but they were common in a longhouse. The tribes of the Plains were nomadic and therefore had to be able to pack up and move and horses need to take more essential things. To accommodate a larger family the tipi floor plan was larger. Tribes who were hunter/gatherers, such as the Seneca, had longhouses which were permanent dwellings and could afford multiple tiers for sleeping.
"indigenous native Americans"??? "corn was the bane of their agricultural economy"??? The first is excessively redundant. And to paraphrase The Princess Bride, 'bane' very definitely doesn't mean whatever you think it means. I wasn't 2 minutes in before I knew you couldn't write a script. Looking at the other comment I see you can't do research. Back to the drawing board, pal.
Moccasins were sewn together with sinew, most likely from the same animal the leather came from. Plant material? So many corrections in the comment section. I considered subscribing, but not after visiting the comments.
I can’t recall which tribe he was from, but while we were on vacation an American Indian was giving a talk. I do recall that he emphatically said that dream catchers are a fairly new product that has nothing to do with Indian culture.
Mi'kmaq were known for building durable but light canoes using boards to build strong structures with birch boards for structure for canoes. Then, using birch bark for exetrior of the canoe. multipurposes. For travel, fishing and hunting wales and other wildlife from the water. 😊
I learned from a linguistics professor I had that aspirin literally means “headache tree.” Moreover, willow isn’t exclusive to the Americas, which means Native Americans had actually beaten the world to the discovery of its medicinal value; not just happened to have access to an herb that existed nowhere else in the world. I’ve always found the discovery of medicinal herbs interesting. Who just looks at a tree and thinks “Imma strip its bark and brew it into a tea!” or “Imma put that in a pipe and smoke it!” I’m aware that the process of medical herb discovery is more complicated than that, but the notion of someone being all hung-ho let’s drink bark tea is pretty amusing.
I suggest that people perhaps inadvertently consumed something that was a bit trippy, liked it and thought to themselves, Wow that was trippy I wonder what the next thing does, until they had smoked everything in sight. Same process for infused vegetable matter.
They would have had some sort of help from nature , as what insects or birds eat , people should be able to consume , starting in small amounts úntil releif is obtained .
@@jeremyashford2145Yeshua 's Holy Spirit can guide people to know what is previously unknown to man. It doesn't have to be trial and error or mere happenstance.
when I was a kid I read that a canoe could be traded for a wife I was amazed... I guess the work going into making a canoe may be considered that a man is hardworking and patient. It was not the actual canoe but it was the effort made that allowed a young man a wife
The native Americans were not the only race to "invent" canoes. The Australian aborigines were doing it hundreds of years before the indigenous tribes of America and other countries.
Bead work, clothing from animal skins, pelican for long lasting food used mostly for long distance journeys. This is amazing. Making Jerry is another although this has been done for centuries.
Pizza, I read years ago that the American Indians had a dish of meat and vegetables on a flat bread much like pizza today. The idea was expanded upon by the Europeans and cheese was added but the original concept was the Indian flatbread with meat and veggies.
The (Anglo) writers and narrator don't know the meaning of "Bane": The first piece claims "Corn was the bane of their agricultural economy." "Bane" means awful destructive ruin-er.
This is not AI but rather an automated voicing reader. A true AI presentation would present the same nonsense, if desired, but make the typical viewer think it was the greatest exposition of native American innovations ever seen. That is the danger of AI.
I still have a few Native American blankets. They have stood the test of time. While driving from the East Coast to the West Coast, was able to purchase a Dream chasers. Its amazing how there craftsmanship is so much better than commercial products. I have always like sandals but not I hope I can purchase a few pairs of Moccasins. The USA owes them more respect now than ever before. Anything made from natural materials is better than plastics. I donate to Native Americans charities as a way of respecting their heritage.
I agree, pemmican was a mainstay for winter for many tribes. I also take exception to dreamcatchers, which were invented in the 1970s as a tourist trade item. The entire background story on them is pure fabrication.
1. Companion gardening was used throughout Europe before coming to America but using a lot more sisters than just 3 sisters.. 2. Europeans made boats and canoe like boats long before coming to America 3. Dream catchers are nothing more than trinkets like a rabbit's foot. 4. People around the world have used saps as chewing gum since before recorded history. 5. Moccassins are merely a name, leather shoes have been since leather was figured out. 6. Another thing that was also created by natives of Europe as well to prevent snowblindness. 7. As they said all peoples had their methods of mouth care and mouthwash that were just as antiseptic. 8. These "syringes" were more for pagan ritual than medical use. 9. Bunk beds have been common through the world. But they were never used in Tee Pees but Log long houses. 10. Aspirin was derived from willow trees in Europe and Asia as well.
Many of the comments are more accurate than this vid. The People have been misrepresented and disrespected far too often. Personally, I would like to have more Native Americans active in Congress and in State Politics and maybe healing would begin on this planet. We scream our Leaders are too old, yet the People knew the value of our Elders as do other cultures on earth. Respect and appreciation were important lessons taught to their young. Sadly, people of the USA today do not appreciate what we have in this great country, only what greed demands. This is when society is corrupted, the loss of respect and appreciation is replaced with personal greed and the lust for power that takes over people's lives. The truth is so underrated, yet it is the first step to freedom.
Apparently Indians must have emigrated to Europe, the Amazon, and Africa to teach people there how to survive. That explains why Europeans were able to survive and get to the Americas by using vastly superior technological boats and equipment that the brilliant superior Indians had not managed to figure out yet?
Actually - CORN started out as a GRASS in SOUTH AMERICA over 8 thousand years ago - I was thru selective breeding of the different strains that forced corn to evolve to it's more modern form...Native American tribes were very resourceful. It stands to reason that they would have "created" the same things as other cultures across the globe...
There were bull boats as well that were round and were probably made from hides fixed onto a frame of wood and were only about waist deep at most with those and only had one paddle to maneuver them
Thank you for making these “fun facts” to the general public! Most people doesn’t understand that the 1st Nation tribes are our remarkable creation. With them we trained and taught them the basics of everyday needs, responsibilities and care for the lands they live on. Hence the REASON why feathers are a part of their CLOTHING! In this country, South America, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Islands are the most noted lands of 1st Nation Tribes. They were the ORIGINAL “Wall Street” brokers, they excelled in TRADES, their farming techniques produced positive food crops and like China & India, they are known in the skills of MEDICINE. Basically, they were like the 1st clinics (set-up, due to the MALES responsibilities as Care Takers, so extra care facilities were constructed for such use). In this country, they were the richest tribes, next to the Middle East “Oil” production. It was on their lands (Texas). Because they focused on intense labors such as farming, Medicinal Supplies, etc. their resources of Oil wasn’t tapped until proper structures could be made to hold, control discharge flow of the Oil. Simply said….they didn’t have time to plan out sketches because they were attacked and robbed from their lands. In addition to such wealth was PRECIOUS METALS, these was used in items necessary for specific use, aside of females would use in clothing accessories or for males as a rank attire. 1st Nation had always been trained by Celestials (ANGELS) to focus on priorities and important tasks, to learn and MASTER, to teach the generations for prosperous growth and abundance. Key features we ANGELS tend to teach humanity. If only this current era of a country learned to value the resources that were available on these lands, the current health problems, diseases would of been controlled and a systematic way of cycled crop production, multi-use gadgets, etc would have been an advantage in the USA. Much like China’s gadget systems, recycled product flow. I send a special message and a Whole Hearted Thank You for the things you created and achieved that finally makes it into this video that gives NOW an understanding of an “Indian’s” life. Something that all grade text books in USA schools deliberately left out such great importance that mattered so much and was the origins of many things known today. BLESS YOU for the diligence, the perseverance in your tribes to continue the teachings as much as possible so that your HISTORY is not forgotten! 🫶🫶🫶👏👏👏🏆😇
European farming knows similar to the three sisters. Carrots and Onions get planted besides each other because the carrot fly does not like the onion smell and the same for an onion fly that does not like carrots smell. There is more but i am not a farmer.
I enjoy the narrators "creative" pronunciations of common words. Some educated live person might want to edit the audio before publication. I will probably not revisit this site.... Martha....
It’s funny how all these native tribes are supposed to be peace loving , spiritual people that lived in harmony with nature. What a joke they were vicious,blood thirsty,power Hungary, and very vengeful people. I learned all this from an Apache shaman. I did a 4 day vision quest/life course, whatever it was pretty intense. Hallucinations,throwing up, and sweating,ended up running around naked in the snow
You'd think they would help Native AmericanTribes more from All they taught invader's of other countries and Just took their Land 😢 To this Day. Some are below poverty 😢😢
Historical records of the bartering and distribution of corn, beans, squash seeds, etc. are never mentioned. How did tribes trade between themselves and others including pioneers acquiring seed.
5:15 I wouldn't categorize dream catchers as an "invention". They're at best a form of art, akin to paintings or sculptures, and at worst, they're akin to snake oil. Their practical application is limited, primarily appealing to certain Native American groups and a few hippies. They don't represent a patentable innovation, nor have they significantly enhanced the world by their presence.
Corn was not the "bane" of their agricultural economy. A bane is a nemesis, or a hated condition.
You are correct, but I'm pretty sure the non-human narrator meant "boon" not "bane". Cheers.
Chickle😂
Yes it's about the same as listening to NPR. LOL@@michaelheurkens4538
@michaelheurkens4538 corn was part of their down fall, as a lack of protein hurt them.

There is nobody like the native Americans in their knowledge of herbal remedies.
As an Iroquois, you're welcome. To expand on your telling of the Dreamcatcher legend...they were hung over the bed, yes, but on a wall which would be bathed in the rays of the Dawn which would destroy the bad dreams stuck in the web. As for bunk beds...tipis didn't have them but they were common in a longhouse. The tribes of the Plains were nomadic and therefore had to be able to pack up and move and horses need to take more essential things. To accommodate a larger family the tipi floor plan was larger. Tribes who were hunter/gatherers, such as the Seneca, had longhouses which were permanent dwellings and could afford multiple tiers for sleeping.
"indigenous native Americans"??? "corn was the bane of their agricultural economy"??? The first is excessively redundant. And to paraphrase The Princess Bride, 'bane' very definitely doesn't mean whatever you think it means.
I wasn't 2 minutes in before I knew you couldn't write a script. Looking at the other comment I see you can't do research. Back to the drawing board, pal.
I was going to mention that "bane" was used wrong. Glad someone else did.
Very interested in American Indian culture
Owe a depth of gratitudeee to the native American ideas.
Moccasins were sewn together with sinew, most likely from the same animal the leather came from. Plant material? So many corrections in the comment section. I considered subscribing, but not after visiting the comments.
Corn was their "bane" of their agricultural community? Do you know what bane means?
Overall, great video. Some of then I knew, some not
good video, very interesting!!
I can’t recall which tribe he was from, but while we were on vacation an American Indian was giving a talk. I do recall that he emphatically said that dream catchers are a fairly new product that has nothing to do with Indian culture.
Mi'kmaq were known for building durable but light canoes using boards to build strong structures with birch boards for structure for canoes. Then, using birch bark for exetrior of the canoe. multipurposes. For travel, fishing and hunting wales and other wildlife from the water. 😊
I learned from a linguistics professor I had that aspirin literally means “headache tree.” Moreover, willow isn’t exclusive to the Americas, which means Native Americans had actually beaten the world to the discovery of its medicinal value; not just happened to have access to an herb that existed nowhere else in the world. I’ve always found the discovery of medicinal herbs interesting. Who just looks at a tree and thinks “Imma strip its bark and brew it into a tea!” or “Imma put that in a pipe and smoke it!” I’m aware that the process of medical herb discovery is more complicated than that, but the notion of someone being all hung-ho let’s drink bark tea is pretty amusing.
I suggest that people perhaps inadvertently consumed something that was a bit trippy, liked it and thought to themselves, Wow that was trippy I wonder what the next thing does, until they had smoked everything in sight.
Same process for infused vegetable matter.
Props to all the hominids that came before us!
They would have had some sort of help from nature , as what insects or birds eat , people should be able to consume , starting in small amounts úntil releif is obtained .

Thank you for your wonderful presentation!!! I Love it very much & will rewatch it❤❤❤
AMAZING.. I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THAT... ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE TRULY AMAZING... THANKU
when I was a kid I read that a canoe could be traded for a wife I was amazed... I guess the work going into making a canoe may be considered that a man is hardworking and patient. It was not the actual canoe but it was the effort made that allowed a young man a wife
"Gratitudy" lol 🤦🏼♂️
The three sisters started in Mesoamerica , way before the tribes further North started to use this method.
Cleaning the dreams out of the dream catcher at the end of the month is a huge pain .
Especially the wet dreams.
The native Americans were not the only race to "invent" canoes. The Australian aborigines were doing it hundreds of years before the indigenous tribes of America and other countries.
Twelve tribes, knew how to make Canoes, rubber boots also😊 etc,.. Potatoes, toys
Bead work, clothing from animal skins, pelican for long lasting food used mostly for long distance journeys. This is amazing. Making Jerry is another although this has been done for centuries.
Pelican? Do you mean pemmican?
@sarahstrong7174 yup, thanks
Also jerky.
@@sarahstrong7174yes
Cultures around the world did all these things.
Pizza, I read years ago that the American Indians had a dish of meat and vegetables on a flat bread much like pizza today. The idea was expanded upon by the Europeans and cheese was added but the original concept was the Indian flatbread with meat and veggies.
The (Anglo) writers and narrator don't know the meaning of "Bane": The first piece claims "Corn was the bane of their agricultural economy." "Bane" means awful destructive ruin-er.
I liked each of them but are there not more?? Just curious 😊. Loved the video and the education. I hope to see more. Soon 😊
Nothing ruins a video quicker than an AI mispronouncing half the words. 😠
Man bro can’t get perfect AI so what I wold like to see you get better AI
And all the misinformation... I bet it was written by AI, too.
This is not AI but rather an automated voicing reader. A true AI presentation would present the same nonsense, if desired, but make the typical viewer think it was the greatest exposition of native American innovations ever seen.
That is the danger of AI.
Excellent video I learned a lot of interesting things from this thank you thumbs up from me
I still have a few Native American blankets. They have stood the test of time. While driving from the East Coast to the West Coast, was able to purchase a Dream chasers. Its amazing how there craftsmanship is so much better than commercial products. I have always like sandals but not I hope I can purchase a few pairs of Moccasins. The USA owes them more respect now than ever before. Anything made from natural materials is better than plastics. I donate to Native Americans charities as a way of respecting their heritage.
Canoes! I'm sure you would find them all over the world
I learned many new things. Imagine if those European fore-conquerors never came to the western hemisphere.
Sounds like these tribes need some Royalties .
How about pemmican? I thought for sure, that would have been mentioned.
I agree, pemmican was a mainstay for winter for many tribes.
I also take exception to dreamcatchers, which were invented in the 1970s as a tourist trade item. The entire background story on them is pure fabrication.
Thank you!
My wife and I planted Lacota squash one year. We had em everywhere! 😋
You forgot the hammock! Still used today all over the world.
1. Companion gardening was used throughout Europe before coming to America but using a lot more sisters than just 3 sisters..
2. Europeans made boats and canoe like boats long before coming to America
3. Dream catchers are nothing more than trinkets like a rabbit's foot.
4. People around the world have used saps as chewing gum since before recorded history.
5. Moccassins are merely a name, leather shoes have been since leather was figured out.
6. Another thing that was also created by natives of Europe as well to prevent snowblindness.
7. As they said all peoples had their methods of mouth care and mouthwash that were just as antiseptic.
8. These "syringes" were more for pagan ritual than medical use.
9. Bunk beds have been common through the world. But they were never used in Tee Pees but Log long houses.
10. Aspirin was derived from willow trees in Europe and Asia as well.
Many of the comments are more accurate than this vid.
The People have been misrepresented and disrespected far too often.
Personally, I would like to have more Native Americans active in Congress and in State Politics and maybe healing would begin on this planet. We scream our Leaders are too old, yet the People knew the value of our Elders as do other cultures on earth. Respect and appreciation were important lessons taught to their young.
Sadly, people of the USA today do not appreciate what we have in this great country, only what greed demands.
This is when society is corrupted, the loss of respect and appreciation is replaced with personal greed and the lust for power that takes over people's lives.
The truth is so underrated, yet it is the first step to freedom.
Don't omit the important contribution of tomatoes, potatoes spicy peppers, maise,juniper berry, pine nuts, and more.
The Clovis point yep that's interesting look into it.
Fascinating. By the way, the first image of canoes is not native American, it is Indigenous Maori of New Zealand
They also invented the sewing needle, ceramic bowel, blankets, boots, hair bands, and jackets.
Very cool.
Nonsense. Did the Europeans arrive naked or were they wearing clothes and boots?
hardly , neanderthals had all of that
Apparently Indians must have emigrated to Europe, the Amazon, and Africa to teach people there how to survive. That explains why Europeans were able to survive and get to the Americas by using vastly superior technological boats and equipment that the brilliant superior Indians had not managed to figure out yet?
Very cool and informative thank you
You forgot the Indian Casinos.
Thank you
Just where would we be without dream catchers or chewing gum?
I shut 'er down when they started in on the 'dream catchers' as an 'invention'. Before they could claim witch doctors as an invention.
All of them!
Actually - CORN started out as a GRASS in SOUTH AMERICA over 8 thousand years ago - I was thru selective breeding of the different strains that forced corn to evolve to it's more modern form...Native American tribes were very resourceful. It stands to reason that they would have "created" the same things as other cultures across the globe...
Fascinating video, to bad it's delivery is ruined by the AI narrator!
There were bull boats as well that were round and were probably made from hides fixed onto a frame of wood and were only about waist deep at most with those and only had one paddle to maneuver them
I was told the 'toll house Cookie's was developed by a native American woman who cooked at the same.
this is an Aztec method named “MILPA” before the “gringo tribes
Forgot Popcorn.
Thank You for this. It would help a lot to equalize the mid and high frequencies for the Narrator, to make the track less harshly pitched
Thank you for making these “fun facts” to the general public! Most people doesn’t understand that the 1st Nation tribes are our remarkable creation. With them we trained and taught them the basics of everyday needs, responsibilities and care for the lands they live on. Hence the REASON why feathers are a part of their CLOTHING! In this country, South America, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Islands are the most noted lands of 1st Nation Tribes. They were the ORIGINAL “Wall Street” brokers, they excelled in TRADES, their farming techniques produced positive food crops and like China & India, they are known in the skills of MEDICINE. Basically, they were like the 1st clinics (set-up, due to the MALES responsibilities as Care Takers, so extra care facilities were constructed for such use). In this country, they were the richest tribes, next to the Middle East “Oil” production. It was on their lands (Texas). Because they focused on intense labors such as farming, Medicinal Supplies, etc. their resources of Oil wasn’t tapped until proper structures could be made to hold, control discharge flow of the Oil. Simply said….they didn’t have time to plan out sketches because they were attacked and robbed from their lands. In addition to such wealth was PRECIOUS METALS, these was used in items necessary for specific use, aside of females would use in clothing accessories or for males as a rank attire. 1st Nation had always been trained by Celestials (ANGELS) to focus on priorities and important tasks, to learn and MASTER, to teach the generations for prosperous growth and abundance. Key features we ANGELS tend to teach humanity. If only this current era of a country learned to value the resources that were available on these lands, the current health problems, diseases would of been controlled and a systematic way of cycled crop production, multi-use gadgets, etc would have been an advantage in the USA. Much like China’s gadget systems, recycled product flow. I send a special message and a Whole Hearted Thank You for the things you created and achieved that finally makes it into this video that gives NOW an understanding of an “Indian’s” life. Something that all grade text books in USA schools deliberately left out such great importance that mattered so much and was the origins of many things known today. BLESS YOU for the diligence, the perseverance in your tribes to continue the teachings as much as possible so that your HISTORY is not forgotten! 🫶🫶🫶👏👏👏🏆😇
You praise an AI generator
Pure savages and I don't believe a word of any of this bullshit.
TY for the VIDEO 😊 PEACE
European farming knows similar to the three sisters. Carrots and Onions get planted besides each other because the carrot fly does not like the onion smell and the same for an onion fly that does not like carrots smell. There is more but i am not a farmer.
That's companionate planting.
ALL VERY INGENIOUS
I enjoy the narrators "creative" pronunciations of common words. Some educated live person might want to edit the audio before publication. I will probably not revisit this site.... Martha....
LET THE SPIRIT WITH THEE ALL TRIBES
❤❤❤
I am a Germanic Tribesman
I can only think of the bow and arrow
Great information but the announcer misspronounced some of the words .
It’s funny how all these native tribes are supposed to be peace loving , spiritual people that lived in harmony with nature. What a joke they were vicious,blood thirsty,power Hungary, and very vengeful people. I learned all this from an Apache shaman. I did a 4 day vision quest/life course, whatever it was pretty intense. Hallucinations,throwing up, and sweating,ended up running around naked in the snow
wow, 4 whole days, that makes you an expert then
You'd think they would help Native AmericanTribes more from All they taught invader's of other countries and Just took their Land 😢 To this Day. Some are below poverty 😢😢
Historical records of the bartering and distribution of corn, beans, squash seeds, etc. are never mentioned. How did tribes trade between themselves and others including pioneers acquiring seed.
There were extensive trading networks and trading routes. Some of these routes the now used by US highways.
Again, the Australian aborigine would chew on the sap of specific trees to keep their mouths fresh during their long treks between water/food sources.
I guess baby seal skin's make really soft and water proof mocasins
The pump, reciprocating drill was invented by native americans.
5:15 I wouldn't categorize dream catchers as an "invention". They're at best a form of art, akin to paintings or sculptures, and at worst, they're akin to snake oil. Their practical application is limited, primarily appealing to certain Native American groups and a few hippies. They don't represent a patentable innovation, nor have they significantly enhanced the world by their presence.
they do look good at garage sales along with velvet fluorescent paintings
You misused the term “bane” when describing maize (corn).
Canoes were also made on the East Coast tribes.
