- If you were hoping the answer was as easy as say, Navajo, or Cherokee, you might be surprised.
In the United States there are 5 and a half million people who identify as having some
The largest of those tribes is Navajo, which has about 340 000 members.
Next is Cherokee with around 290,000, followed by Chippewa, Sioux, Choctaw and Apache.
However, the first settlers into North America likely arrived long before any of these tribes existed.
A 2-Minute History of Human Migration into the Americas
We don't know for sure when and how people first migrated into North America, and there are several theories on how this happened.
North and South America were the last continents to be inhabited by humans, at least 17,000 years ago, but possibly much earlier.
The most common theory is that Nomadic people from Asia moved across the Bering strait into Alaska and settled there.
At the end of the last ice age, Asia and North America were joined by a land bridge called Beringia. This was because sea levels were much lower then.
Humans settled in Alaska, but couldn't go further south because North America was covered in an ice sheet.
When the ice started to melt, a single group of people moved south through a gap in the ice.
Some believe that all Native Americans, both in North and South America, were descendants of this single group.
So using this theory, Native Americans first settled in north-western Alaska.
Some people have suggested that humans could have arrived by boat, traveling close to the shores down the west coast of the continent.
At first it was thought that people arrived about 13000 years ago. This was because of the discovery of a civilization that was called the Clovis.
For many years the Clovis were thought to be the first Native Americans, but over the last 30 years or so, this has been debunked as older discoveries were made.
Here's a crash course in what we've discovered:
1. Folsom New Mexico - 1908 - 10,000 year old remains of an extinct bison were found with spear marks.
2. Bluefish Caves, Yukon - 1994 - 24,000 year old animal bones discovered with human markings.
3. Santa Rosa Island, California - 1969 - 13,000-year-old human bones discovered, suggesting the use of boats.
4. Monte Verde, Chile - 1997 - 14,000 year old human settlement discovered
5. Hoyo Negro, Yucatán, Mexico - 12,000 year old human skeleton discovered in an underwater cave
6. Paisley Oregon - 2008 - 15,000 year old fossilized human feces discovered in a cave.
7. Friedkin site - Texas - 2011 - 15,000 year old human settlement discovered
8. Anzick, Montana - 2014 - 12,500 year old remains of an infant discovered, believed to be of the Clovis culture.
In fact DNA shows that the infant was closely related to Native North Americans of today.
And we believe the Clovis people are the direct ancestors of 80% of all living Native Americans in North and South America.
Which Native American Tribe is the Oldest?
None of these early tribe still exists. Civilizations rise and fall and the human landscape is always changing. So a 'tribe', as we know it is highly unlikely to remain for thousands of years.
You could ask, which of the current Native American tribes is the oldest? But this question isn't any easier.
Before Europeans arrived, we only have oral records to rely on, and these tends to change over generations.
Legends do tell the story of a great migration, including the crossing of a river, possibly the Mississippi.
Origin stories are an important part of Native American culture, but they don't help us to date Native American tribe.
For example, Cherokee tribal history says they have existed since time immemorial.
The Hopi are known among Native Americans as the 'oldest of tribes'.
We do know that the Hopi village of Oraibi in Arizona could be the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in the United States, at nearly a thousand years old.
We can also use language to trace the movement of Native Americans. Navajo and Apache are part of the Na-Dené language family, and the first Na-Dene speaking peoples entered North American around 10,000 years ago.
But, the question 'which is the oldest Native American tribe' is complex, and it may never have an answer.
Native American origin stories and ancestry are a important part of their culture.
At the same the science and history is constantly evolving and new discoveries will no doubt challenge what we believe today.
Maybe a better question is how do we keep discovering, while at the same time respecting the culture and history of the Native Americans who live here today.
Tohono O'odham tribal member here! Of Arizona. 🏹 respect and love to all my Natives!
Was in Arizona,was seeking my people, when is powwow?🏹
Makes you wonder how much history has been intentionally erased by those who were victors in War. There's probably so much history we are unaware of because it was intentionally erased from existence by victors.
you can't erase archeology Indian wars for hundreds of years before our ancestors came
well saltine, history is written by the victors. I dont know anyone that has been successful, not rich people as success today is living a life comfortable not in comfort, and people today are trying to erase, and re write what is known,so imagine if it wasnt told correctly then will nos history be told true in the future or be tainted by the winners?

My own answer came with all I needed to know.shortly before my aunt died ,she told my mother & I all the tribes that traveled from across the country to come to her wedding . it was very helpful. It was the Cherokee, the Wyandotte, the Powhatan& the Kiowa. I was very glad to get this . She was Blackfoot .. Please everyone , seek out the knowledge of the old ones before its too late .
Im patawomeck, hi cousin
My great grandma was Shawnee
Blackfeet - not Blackfoot.
@@butterflycatyt5917 My great grandpa was Mohawk
@@Jane-Doe.1126 That's so cool!!
I was born and raised in Blackfoot, and Stoney territory even though I myself am Tla-o-qui-aht which is pronounced: klaw-oh-kwee-awt.
Most plains tribes (not going to say all because I only know what I was taught) lived in Tipis and could/would move camp multiple times a year, so its going to be hard to know how old a certain nation or tribe is simply by "a village"
Also on a different note one Nation can have many separate Tribes or Clans, for example I'm from the Tla-o-qui-aht tribe of Nuu-chah-nulth Nation, which is one of 15 tribes. This part doesn't have to do with the video really just thought this needs to be added to my comment is all.
P.S this i what I was taught by the people who raised me, which were the Blackfeet, Cree, and Ojibwe people throughout my childhood, it might not go with everyone's individual or personal teachings.
Probably more accurate than this video. Thank you for sharing. I'm part Shoshone, though I don't know much more other than that. My Grandmother was my last link to that world, since she passed I have no way to find out more.
My two oldest children's father is Cherokee and Irish...I am Italian and Irish. It is interesting getting to know his Native American ancestry, though he said he doesn't know much.

Did they tell you the bad stuff they did as well?
Interesting theory: Native Americans are descended from more than one migration from different places and migrating at different times.
Interestingly, that is not true. Essentially the same dna came from pretty much the same place in two waves. Maybe 3. Nice tey though.
Cherokee oral migration story says we left an island, travelled north then went east toward the sun. It says we crossed the Mississippi and came across the mound builders and became one with them but rebelled after sacrificing us. It is said we have spoken 4 languages. Modern Cherokee being the last
What are the mound builders?
Navajo belief and ceremonies are based on legend of our origin. Our begining starts from a void world; no sun, no moon, and no stars. We then moved up through the first layer of sky to the second world that had light and early animals occupied the second world; the animals and Navajos didn't get along thus, Navajos migrated to the third world. This third world had more of today's animal kingdom all speaking Navajos and more land like we have today...rivers, mountains and trees. Mush went on, including separation of sex, all because men and women folks argued as to which sex is more important. The men said they were and the women rebutted and said they were. To settle the argument all the men moved across a large river and the women folks stayed.
This separation went on for several years till both sides experienced loneliness and eventually made peace with one another and the men crossed the river back to be together again.
Eventually there was a great flood and water started to cover the entire earth. A wise medicineman created a reef that was large and grew tall; the holy man advised all who want to be saved should get on that reef, so all the Navajo people and animals got on that reef. The water continue to rise. Turkey was the last to get on the reef and as the water continues to it created a white form and that form was touching the turkey's feathers...that's why when you see a turkey today they all have color white at the end of their feathers.
When they reached the ceiling of the sky, the created a hole in the sky ceiling and discovered a ruler of water on the present world. They negotiated an agreement to allow the water to recede and the new land dried in four days.
This emergence was NW of present day Durango; the Sierra Peak. Over many centuries all areas south of Sierra peak was developed for Dineh people. This included the four sacred mountains and all present day rivers. The sun, the moon, and the stars were all created in the third world. That's very, very short summary of where our spirits and eventually our present day bodies came from...as to who created the present day Navajo.

You are really not, we got more natives in Mexico than all of the tribes in the US combined, we got about 10 million native americans in Mexico. Also, WE are actually important part of history of the Americas, the aztecs, mayans and olmecs were the first civilizations on north america and all of them started in the center of Mexico. If it werent for the spaniard, the aztecs were probably going to use your “ute” people as sacrifice for the sun god since the were an actual empire with 100k citizens at the time.
@@ericktellez7632 Natives are natives why is it a competition to you? You sound extremely uneducated. Take pride in your heritage and let others do the same, it isnt a competition, and with that ignorance you make our Mexica people look bad. We are all one big family stop hating. Also if you knew anything you would know Utes share roots from the Mexica.

In Nevada, the land used to be covered in water. The natives would live on the modern mountains as they were islands. You can find drawing from the old lakes, and caves by where the shores would of been. The lake was thousands of years ago, it really gives you a perspective of how quickly Europeans changed thousands of years of history.
That is TRUE. The planet was once warmer and colder and NEVADA , Utah. parts of Northern California etc was under water. Ancient Lake Lahontan. ThePyramid Lake cuuthroat trout the pikes peak strain are remnants of that once lake covering much of the eastern sierra basin the . The cutts used to migrate from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid via the Truckee River (modern times 1800-1900's). They are coming back as they found the genetically pure Pikes Peak in a little creek and are reintroducing them. GooGle up Pikes Peak cuttROAT TROUT. Very interesting stuff. I fish the reservation regularly. we are getting fish in the 20 pound range and will break 30 pound fish soon as once there were fish in the 30-40 range.

I would think that last question posed could be the most important one to answer. How can we learn more about Native cultures while respecting their beliefs. I would say open a free communication and granting those that are left the right to freely be who they are. That might be a good start. Just hope it's not already too late for that.
It is as they are still being held captive & badly done to in their own land! They live in great poverty & are treated badly as far as work or anything else!
@Fred Forbes I have a feeling he was 100% correct. No matter their Origins Human can be extremely cruel to one another. Which is why I think that fighting that natural instinct is what progresses "civilization".
That right respecting the other heritage is the only way not to.replete the sin of the past👍❤️❤️🙏
so we should respect the comanches culture of removing scalps but not the rest of us? mmmm that'll work. Sorry but you dont get to simplify the answers. First of all I have a problem with the names, where they came from WHEN they came, where did they go.
the first Americans were here after independance from the british. So it became not a race, but a country or a continent. Officialy it is a continent, culturally everyone calls US citizens americans. So since America is a continent it starts with alaska and ends in patagonia so all people from this continent when it was named America are Native Americans. We wont go into the story that they came from russia Which enters another spaghetti type labyrinth.
That is just to start. Property then becomes an issue. WHen did anyone buy the land originally? and where did that concept start (property, which would lead to the comment ondian terrotory. really? or is it just where they were?and di they beat another tribe to gain "property" and make indian kands?
I can go on but it would long and boring somewhat. But we have mixtures of races first, then came nationalities and somewhere in between seems like we merged into Americans or US citizens. Seems like everyone wants to be another nationality but do it in the US and refuse t become an AMerican.
@@JuanGonzalez-cg8fk well the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans cut out the hearts of human sacrifices soooo....... Yes we know most tribes names are what their enemies called them not what they called themselves. There is nothing simple about dealing with other human beings. Every culture has things in it's history that none of us are proud of, but we should still respect each other and our cultures.
Among many tribes of the Northeastern United States, there is a belief that the tribe now called the Delawares ( also known by the name Lenni Lenape ) were the ancestors of the Iroquois, the Powhatten , and many others. They were apparently held in high regard, and the name given to them in various tribal languages translates to The Grandfathers.
This has not been established as fact, although their origin story does seem to describe a journey across the continent to the East Coast.
This idea was widespread enough that in the 19th century, an American who had worked extensively with Native Americans claimed to have found written accounts of this in a pictographic
language which he called "The Red Record" .that he subsequently published. It has not been scientifically confirmed, and there are some doubts as to its authenticity.
My great grandfather was mohawk (Iroquois)
Aho cuz
we lenape started in the east then most went west while some stayed , it’s spoken of within the tribe as being the first people and we had the first contract with the united states govt trading furs , but till recently they didn’t honor our name , so we have just been recognized smh it’s unfortunate
Per my history detective aunt. My 4x grandmother on my mom's side was a Susquahnnock. Story has it she met a Union Soldier, an Irishman who was wounded in a church being used as a hospital. She was a nun? This was in a town called Columbia Pa. She saved his life and they fell in love. They had 7 kids and lived in York Pa.
As my elders say" we have always been here!"
Hey Randolph please check out the Bible with all my research that I've done you probably originate from the tribe of Dan in the Bible and yes you always have been here but read the Bible there's 12 tribes that's where you get all the different nationalities etc in addition please research from the Bible Samson he was first Nations he was given mighty power through his long hair in which he got with a white woman who cuts his hair and lost his power in which father God the creator of heaven and Earth distinctly told him not to mix with unbelievers so check it out I'm on your side God bless you in Jesus name once again that's Dan and also check out Samson in the Bible the Holy Bible share your knowledge with your people God bless you in Jesus name

How many natives here
Oseyo, Many more than are even aware of their heritage. The 5 million figure quoted is probably off by at least a factor of x2. The great pandemic plagues of the 1500's-1700's were the fastest most horrific loss of human lives ever. It is why the land had vast empty areas, when the European's arrived. The tribes of the east that everyone thinks died off, by and large still have descendants living in the same areas. Advances in DNA are proving the previous statement correct. Everyone talks to much of themselves but it is what I know as factual: Mother's grandmothers both were of the southeastern tribes, knew it, and especially in later life made sure to tell the old stories to their grand and great grand children, Father's grandmother knew her heritage but hid it until very late in life when one of her great grandchildren was put upon for being a dirty #$$&*#&4$ etc. Shocking her grandchildren with where her ancestry roots were planted. anyway long story even longer but quickly concluded- My DNA shows more Native American ancestry from my Fathers side of the blanket than my Mothers. We are still here where we have lived for a thousand?//thousands of years.

Tbird2191, shhh, don't ask. You would't like the answer.
You should look up the Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Pennsylvania. I was disappointed that he didn't mention it in his list of early archaeological sites. It's one of the first discoveries of evidence of people here before the Clovis culture. It's estimated I think around 18,000 years old.
The Chumash and Gabrielino-Tongva peoples were the first human inhabitants of the Channel Islands and Santa Monica Mountains areas. Our peoples are known to have lived here for thousands of years; numerous archaeological sites have been uncovered in the past decade some of which date to 15,000 years.
The Tongva have lineage from the Aztecs

@@matthewsteele5229 it’s sort of hard. You kind of have to go by topic. So decolonialism, histories of individual nations, and so on.
There’s a few great UA-camrs as well like TwinRabbit. They have a fantastic video on writing systems and the myth of indigenous illiteracy.
Stepback History’s series on indigenous peoples (though a bit liberal in that specific one,) as well as his videos on things like the wetsuweten crisis.
Mexie Has a video called “land back” that helps explain that
movement a lot.
One of my favourites is Called Ancient Americas which explain indigenous history outside of recent events all the way back to archaic period and such. There’s a good video that explains why native Americans abandoned metal tools in favour for non metal tools. And others.
However I feel not a lot of stuff captured a lot of issues like the corruption of band council governments and how they’re colonial installed governments and not the ones we actually used. And why poverty and stuff is still so rampant. Why there’s no clean water on reserves or why Indigenous peoples are racialized in American and Canadian Laws. A lot of this stuff you’d have to know someone who’s lived on reserve to know that.
You probably have red hair and blue eyes. It’s alway those with the least connections who cry the loudest about everything like the Red Skins football teams and the Apache Helicopters.
They weren’t riding horses when they arrived 😂
Ben Drollinger, No, they had a penchant for mammoths, followed by mules; the mules increased and multiplied and filled the earth. If you want proof? just look around you.
Nope.They coiuldnt get a horse to stand still on a canoe for the ride.
There was a program on the PBS stations in California called "California's Gold" among other titles. The show went to Calico, a well-known ghost town.

The CHoctaw tribe held thousands of black slaves and fought for the confederacy. Choctaw CHief Greenwood LeFlore owned a 15,000 acre plantation in Mississippi called, "MalMaision" where he enslaved over 400 black slaves picking cotton, tobacco and other crops. The Choctaw also sent thousands of men to fight for the confederacy to preserve their enslavement of blacks. Incas also practiced, slavery, human sacrifice and cannibalism.
One of the most honest videos I`ve come across . What a surprise in this age of propaganda social media .Thank you
Excellent graphics, photos, and videos. The timeline of archaeological discoveries indicating earliest humans in America was valuable and well done. However, your narration was difficult to hear over the background music and the audio from the videos. When you make your next excellent video, please tone down the background noise or increase your voiceover volume. You have a great presentation style, so I will look for more of your videos.
Wrong again, there were very light skinned Indigenous people in Turtle Island, who had both red and blond hair long before Europeans ever showed up
The best approach is to have no music or sound effects where there is narration or any form of talking. It's perfectly fine between segments of narration, but not during narration. It's taken a long time for humans to understand this and, generally speaking, they still don't.

I loved this! It just enriched my knowledge. I would have watched for an hour!
In CA, USA, children of elementary school age in Simi Valley, Ventura County, are given a brief history of the Chumash tribe. Simi = windy, and along with the Santa Ana (Santana's) winds, it definitely suits the area in the Fall. Most commonly taught is the history of those tribes in AZ or NM, perhaps CO. The rich history of tribes in the mid-west or the East coast is something one has to seek out.

Everything is lost until a European discover it! Ironic, eh?
The fuck? It was lost because of the europeans, the mayans, aztecs, tainos and the ones in peru had books and written records, once the spaniards arrived a massive amount of burning and destruction of these records ocurred.

Near the La Brea tar pits in san Diego they have found 150,000 year old village sites the natives used the pits to hunt animals stuck in the tar, scientists are fighting this find but the evidence is piling up every year they find older and older bones.
Not 150,000 years old.
A question becomes, did people travel south and leave settlers behind, or was it new tribes pushing a tribe further south. The first one means Alaska or Northern Canada would have the oldest tribe, the second mean the oldest ends up further south
We follow the game animals and birds and fond water fish and some clants stay in spots and others move on far and language change has where far apart and it cool fond fruit and berries lives got better so sweet to find out tribes be the longest of all people in colors it great
Inuit?
What if the New World was settled BOTH from north to south -- and also from south to north, by unrelated Old World ethnicities? This is what happened...
I give the speaker credit for the video, however 90 % is from an Anglo-American Eurocentric World view. I also want to acknowledge that the video mentioned native American language and oral traditions are important. Modern scientists often interpret the fossils , genetics , and other evidence to fit their world view ; then later more of their own findings bring into questions previous 'assumptions' . Just think about 🧐🤔✍🏾
Keep learning and know that an interpretation of a body of evidence 🧾 is not an absolute fact. Best to you.
My G-Grand Father was an enrolled member of the Choctaw Tribe now in Oklahoma. I know for a fact that is true. When I had my DNA analysised it told me I had Native American blood of the Guajida Indians on the peninsula between Colombia and Venezuela, and also Native Americans from Peru. Apparently people I am related to migrated to S. America from the American South where the Choctaw were originally from.
If you really want to go back to where you were originally from, that would be Mongolia! I just had to have surgury for my epicanthic folds, aka Mongolian folds. It's a trait most Indians have to this day, despite mixed marriages.
Good and informative video, Thank You!! Your video provides an outline, a framework, and/or starting point of North and South American Indians people can use to do more or extensive research on their own. There are many great comments here that also provide further information. Thank You to those who did so!! Many shared their American Indian tribe or nation which is wonderful to see as well as the pride they have for their heritage. Thank You one and all for sharing your Indian heritage!! Unfortunately, there are many hateful, racist [overused, I know but unfortunately, true], critical, and judgemental comments as well. Frankly, we all need to learn tolerance and acceptance, learn how to forgive each other for our past sins and mistakes, and remember, America is a nation of immigrants. Our ancestors all came from somewhere else. Some sooner, some later. No, it won't be easy but nothing worth doing ever is. And if it was easy, it wouldn't be worth doing. Thank You and GOD Bless!!
Forgiveness and
Love❤️
What about the mound builders?
We have a lot of undocumented mounds in Ohio deep in the woods
Older still easily comparable to the Megalithic builders.
The Kahokian culture had a big civilization in Mississippi River valley, maybe the melting glaciers flooded them out.
The moundbuilders are much like the temple builders in Central America, and the Inca.
The silver & gold that went back to Spain was when Mexico was Viceroyalty of New Spain.
When Mexico declared Independence in 1821, they stole land from California Indian Tribes, and in 1833, they secularized the California Missions, taking the lands from the Church.
Texas revolted in 1835 ( helped by Indians! ) then the gringo Texans told most of the Indians to leave Texas.
In 1847, gringos got California, Arizona, New Mexico, then kicked-out the Chinese in 1882.
In 1850, the first Governor of California put a bounty for scalps, or heads, of California Indians.
In 1905, Northern California lands were given back to a number of tribes, called "Rancherias" instead of reservations.
So many questions, mysteries, unknowns. Early sites are either washed away or buried deep below us. Someday we may find some answers, but likely just more questions.

"History" is written by those with the biggest printing press.
Since we are all on this planet now, if we could all trace our lineage back far enough we would all belong to the oldest people. The age of our genetics is much older than the age of our various cultures, which come and go over 1,000's of years.
Only Almighty God knows this truth. May He reveal this to me in a dream. I give hats off to the Cherokee tribe.

Indians are from India. The word is Indigenous.
@@carlosmante Originally Christopher Columbus thought he had found "India", or rather, islands east of India. Yeah, I like the idea of connecting "Indian" to "indigenous" now, sound enough alike that would work.
Words and phrases can change as we learn more. For example, historians no longer use "A.D." and "B.C." (latin for "in the year of our Lord", and "Before Christ"). Proper use is now C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before the Common Era).
Another example: Chinese sounds don't translate well into English. In my lifetime the capitol of China (in English) has gone from Peking to Peiping to Beijing.
I love factoids! 😉
P.S. Highly recommend "Pastwatch: the Redemption of Christopher Columbus". Science fiction, time travel, to change what Columbus did. Vitally important as his arrival in the "New World" sent all humanity on the track to destruction. People from that future come back to fix things.
Spoiler alert:
Ending:
About 60 years after Columbus "disappeared" on his western voyage, a fleet of 1,000 combined Mayan / Incan ships arrive in Spain. 🤣🤣
P.P.S. Yes, I know, Mayans died out and were replaced by Aztecs. But part of the changes the time travelers made (the time travelers went to several different times to change things) were to keep the Mayans strong so Aztec (sun / blood worshippers) never become dominant. That is, in this scifi book.
P.P.P.S. --- No. I'll stop myself. --- 😁
@@veralenora7368 Columbus was a rapist, kidnapper, murder, torcher, thief, read an unbias book not burned by the Catholica cult and you will agree.
I have commented before, and the narrator mentioned that there are no written records. Most people read and wrote images to give a general idea of events. How well they might be preserved depended on who guarded them and was responsible.
Another problem is that when a tribe settled into a village, it had to be located near running water and with sufficient fish and game to sustain the people. That would indicate a river outlet near the sea. As the glaciers melted, the level of the ocean rose, forcing those people inland. The remains of the original village would have been washed away. Safe to estimate 15K to 20K. But that does not take into consideration the possibility of migration from Europe because there would be land bridges from that part of the world also. They may not have been permanent?
Yes I've seen some excellent documentaries on ice Bridge from Europe to the americas, and then swamplike conditions that were "canoeable".. this was supported by geological finds of foliage and insects in sea rocks. I don't recall who made the films now.
I wold like to add to the narrative that the first people we call indians in America came from Northern Spain, the Basque area. The ice wall extended down to Spain and across the Atlantic Ocean to America. Hunters, hunting for seal travelled the wall by boat, reached America, saw the plentiful game available, and brought their family's. Thirty thousand years ago. Asian American indians were late comers. They waited for the ice to melt. How Zen of them.
There is no human can sailed through atlantic 😑
@@zairatulumierah9436 They didn't sail, but paddled near the ice wall. Stopping where they camped, hunted for fish and seals, or other aquatic life. I believe they did this because the hunting in Europe was dramatically reduced. they were forced to move. Starvation is a potent driver. It seems the East coast Indian tribes are different looking from most of the other Indians on the continent.
Here a twist, How about the Natives came from here. Then traveled to Asia and populated it there.
They were the first people who discovered America before Columbus’s discovery to America because he thought he was in India. But I didn’t know I was from Asia
@@internetproduction5446 Mormons believe all peoples originated from USA and moved to other countries from there. Don't understand why that theory is never examined.

Look into the spirit cave and hidden caves of the western Paiute tribe of Nevada. They found a mummy, bows, arrows, spears, baskets, and much much more in these caves. It is the oldest site as of now. It is from a time when Nevada and much of the Great Basin was an inland sea with the mountain ranges being islands. This is why Nevada now is filled with high mountains right next to salt flats from the ancient sea (this is also why Death Valley is below sea level)
The geologic and fossil record suggest that the Western inland sea disappeared many millenia before humans arrived on the scene. But, there was a lake drying up, Bonneville?
No the island sea was around at at the time of humans. It was dried up 5,000years after the first humans

When my Yuchi ancestors came on a ship, having gotten separated from biblical King Solomon's fleet on their way to get gold to cover the Jerusalem temple in approx 945 BC, they found 3 main Indian groups: Alyeska (Eskimo), Dogon cliff dwellers (from northern Africa), and a group from the time of Egyptian Pharaoh Kienne who ruled in 1700's BC and was called 'ruler of the foreign land's. The Yuchi coined the word Algonquin to represent all non-Yuchi people. (Yuchi were a mixture of Hebrew and either Philistine or Canaanite I forget which, who sailed together on Solomon's ship and started their tribe in America and carried on Hebrew customs and holidays which surprised early pilgrims. They sang and praised God around their campfires and my Grandma from Bell County Oklahoma was a Godly woman. I am so inspired by her memory. And the rest DNA tells you who showed up later. Since the Flood occurred in 3100's BC you can guess it took awhile as people multiplied and when 'Phoenicians' started sailing far in about 2200's BC. You can guess who the Phoenicians were, sailing around the Mediterranean and...near north Africa and Egypt and Middle East, and then off to find what was ancient America from what was known about preFlood people... So there you have it, from myself a studier of all things. God bless you.

Cherokee's came from the south. The Delawares aka Lenape of Manhattan NY are the Grandfather Tribe. All tribes descended from them, thus their name The Grandfathers.
Well that’s cool not very informative but my grandmother who was prejudiced against by her Caucasian neighbors and called a prairie Dog or a prairie (racial slur which I won’t give the ghosts who disrespected her the power or the privilege of typing that word), or even remembering their existence and give them power beyond the grave, my Grandmother told me that the first people who walked upon the land which is the body of Mother Earth encountered other people some from the Heavens and some from other lands seeking refuge after a great catastrophe or cataclysmic event, and she said that in the land there dwelt Spirits of the Earth, some good, some evil, and some that were indifferent to the plight or success of man, and that magic ruled the land in the valleys and the high mountains of the breasts of Mother Earth, and that they lived in harmony with all that dwelt in the land and warred among themselves from time to time but in general they got along as neighbors do until the white man came with his diseases and his death dealing forked tongue lying ways and his evil technology which is how they were able to defeat all the tribes through deception and lies, and that someday the ghost dancers would drive them from the land and that peace would again be upon the land and that we would live in harmony again and that her grandmother would smile down upon her from the Heavens and that she would make her delicious flatbread

I like your comment, way more than the video. And I believe your Grandmother and what she said. In the book, Black Elk Speaks, Black Elk says some of the same stuff your Grandmother said. Black Elk was Sioux. It is a fantastic read if you ever want something to read and confirm your Grandmothers words. The book is famous and considered a document of Black Elk's life. I read it back in the 1970s. I belong to the Cherokee tribe. My Grandmother on my white side grew up and lived among the Cherokees most of her life. She married my Cherokee Granddad, who was on the Dawes Roll. Although she was a white woman, she knew a lot of the folklore, if it was just folklore. She told me things that were supernatural in nature, and a person's Grandmother doesn't lie to their grandchildren. I miss her a lot, and she has been gone since, 1978. I will see her again. I really loved what you wrote.
The Hopi started out living around where Washington D.C./ Virginia area. They have a tribal story that is supported by other tribes that Jesus walked with the Hopi for over 300 years. This story put them at odds with the first Christian settlers and the Hopi was forced west to avoid extermination. The tribes along there migration protected them from their pursuers by closing in behind them. This narrative came from a friend of mine who is a full blooded Menomonie Indian which lives in Northern Wisconsin and which is the only tribe to have sent a warrior to every war this country has ever been in dating back to the British and then the US.
American are not the same anymore. they evolved faster than any Nemo.

Interesting random fact. The Atlas mountains in northeastern Africa match the geology of part of the Appalachian mountains, which match the geography of a range of mountains in north east Europe. (I used to know the name of the range, but I've forgotten.)

The reason no one can solve the mysteries of history, is because we don’t separate time and context efficiently.
If you take just one target at a time and search with context, time duration and consider the variables that come from those aspects you can find who is who pretty easy. You can follow Cheruski to Cherokee pretty easy. I’m tracing Italian “Indians” into 17th century Americas right now and it’s pretty awesome. I’m making links between the republic of Massa from 14th century and the folks that hitched a ride with Columbus train etc..

They were mostly what we call the Menominee if you are talking around Point Wisconsin in that area. Most of the Tribes were smaller parts in the Menominee tribe in Wisconsin, kind of how you have the Lakota and Dakota tribes that are both a part of the Sioux Tribes.

@@celticrose2 If you're interested in world tribes, I strongly recommend "An Outline of History" by H.G. Wells.

An easy, interesting read as you might expect from the man who also wrote "Time Machine."
Starts with the formation of the Earth! Volume 1 spends a lot of time on historic tribes of Europe and Asia. Wells originally ended at W.W. I. Then he did two updated editions as time passed. It was such a phenomenally important book, scholars continued to update it until 1971. Used copies are still available.
I just finished volume 1, end of the Roman Empire, collapse of Europe, but China is doing just fine. He hasn't mentioned the Western Hemisphere yet. Wells was not a fan of the Romans, lots of criticism. Surprised me!

It’s said that the Hopi have the Oldest villages in the U.S.
their story says they were around before the Great flood and we’re taken into the center of the earth and once the flood was gone they came out of the Grand Canyon and resided in the Mesas where they continue to live now.
According to Genisus, there was only one language during and after the flood. A group of people in Shinar built a high city in attempt to reach the heavens which God found offense. God intercepted, by babbling the language to where they could no longer communicate with one another, and scattered them around the earth centuries ago. Interesting not only the Hopi but other ancient peoples tell of a flood with their own twist to the story. Later there are the lost tribes of Israel. Seafaring has been around since biblical times. Remnants of the ark have been found in Turkey. Religious beliefs are also similar to peoples a world away with origins in Mesopotamia. Egypt and Aztec have similar religious hierarchy and pyramids were built in both places. In America, pyramids are not in the north. They are south in Mexico City and Guatemala and those areas. We don't know the past Native American origins, but perhaps the Bible gives us a clue.

It is my understanding that the "Sioux" never called themselves that. This was a word that surrounding tribes called them. The two tribes I am aware of among the "Sioux" were the Lakota and Oglala. This was from foggy memory from years ago when I was reading about the REAL cause of the near-extinction of the buffalo (Yeah, I know, but everyone else calls them that.). It was NOT the buffalo hunter. Anyone with a command of grade school arithmetic knows that (estimated population of up to 2 billion buffalo). This would require a skirmish line from Canada to Florida and the output of all the ammo factories for years. It was the White man, but not the buffalo hunter. White man's cattle carried bovine diseases ( e.g., hoof and mouth disease) the buffalo had no resistance to. Pictures of dead buffalo along railroad right-of-way extended well beyond rifle range.
Not only that but a lot of white settlers and army slaughtered many buffalos so the Plains tribes would not hunt for food. And also the whites wanted hides for various things. There is a famous picture of white hunter standing next to many many buffalo skulls and many many piles of buffalo hides. So unfortunate they nearly wiped out the spieces.
@@scarletred1497 :
This may explain eradication of local populations of buffalo. Generally, the near-extinction was due to bovine diseases. Simple grade school arithmetic proves this.
@@andybreglia9431 I'm way past simple grade school history. I focus only on current up-to-date research/history on this topic. Don't undermine the effects that early white settlers and US Calvary did to the animal population especially the buffalo and wolves.
@@scarletred1497:
I've seen the picture. How many skulls were gotten by hind hunters and how many were from found dead from bovine diseases? I've seen pictures of dead buffalo along railroad tracks misascribed to shooters with dead far beyond rifle range. A pandemic of bovine diseases accomplished this. Railroad track layers took what they needed to feed the crew, cavalry took what they needed to fill their ladders. Hide hunters took a lot, but nothing near the two billion buffalo.
Kennewick Man dated at around 9000 years old is pretty much the father of western Native Americans.
I'm Apache, Navajo and Yaqui on my pateram side.
Cherokee from the Maternal side.
I was recently told by a Michuacan Indio, Yaquis are off descendants of the Mayan.
A Gentleman in South Dakota, I believe, has DNA listed at 18,000 yrs.
Mine, through 23&me is 9,000 years.
Mikmaq is a really old tribe. They crossed the ice bridge on the east coast through upper canada and Nova scotia. 😊
We were already here.think of Pangaea once the lands separated we went with the land
There were no humans, not even apes in age of Pangea. The only animals still here from that time are Crocodiles and Sharks.
Humans evolved from chimpanzee branch of Great Apes, and they apes evolved in Africa.
Australopithecus was an early ancestor to Homo Habilus, then Homo Erectus, then Homo Sapiens.
All current humans trace back 180,000 years to an Ethiopian woman "Mitochondrial Eve", she is everybody's Mom.
Humans migrated south, or north, or east.
Those going to South Africa became Maasai, Pygmy, Hadza, Khoisan, the oldest human haplogroups.
Humans going north had a mutation become Neanderthalus.
The 2 types of humans mated, and Neanderthalus went extinct. Humans going north to less daily sunlight, also had mutation of melanin reduction, so they would absorb more sunlight.
Humans going east toward India, Malaysia, China had the Denisovan mutation.
Some went south to Papua New Guinea, before the Denisovan mutation, and over to Australia, retaining more original African DNA.
The Denisovan mixed people became Asiatics, some made it over into Alaska during last Ice Age, and filled the Americas with their first people, the Native Americans.
Once humans invented long distance sailing ships, we began to find each other, but could not understand we are all related.
DNA science proves we are all related.
@@AmigoKandu good theory but just a theory not fact.natives were born here of this land.we were here when all that was going on.we have a different gene in our DNA than others
@@gooyeehooyee4385 Pangea Tribe, finally met one!
All them Black men being released from prison since DNA proved them innocent?
DNA is real science, amigo.
@@AmigoKandu tribal creation stories
@@gooyeehooyee4385 That's all cool, religion is "faith in that which is unseen".
But, DNA is seen, it is real. Some Americans have been reunited with their tribes back in Africa when DNA tests matched them to living relatives in Africa today.
After 300 years, and not knowing their family roots, these people are now reunited, by DNA Science.
There are remains and artifacts that were found on my Rez that date back 10,000+ years. Its sacred land now and is left alone in honor and respect for the ancestors.
Lance what is your nation
So great at least this video agree we exist
Eastern shoshone
It's like asking "which is the oldest European nation".
Propably all people belonged to own tribe/nation before they spread around the continent and developed different lifestyles and culture.
The Pyramid Lake Paiutes have 10,000 year old petroglyphs the oldest petroglyph found in North america
I flyfish Pyramid lake 100+ days a year for lahontan cutthroat trout and drink with my Indian buddies at the bar at Pyramid Lake for 25+ years.
@@freesoul3371Have you ever caught a cuicui fish before?
@@andyrose1 Yes many, at times they may strike a fly that we use for the cutts. They must be released.
p.s. The Lake is doing GREAT, the massive 20-30+ pound cutthroat trout are back.
Apache dawg tuning in here🤟🏾
Got here in the 13th century from Canada, bunch of Athabaskan speaking dudes split into Navajo and Apache
Thank you.
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you’re fine and staying safe??
