What Native Americans Actually Ate Before Europeans Came

- For Native Americans, putting dinner on the table was a terrifying, oftentimes death-defying, and always full-time job. While many of their foods aren't even around anymore, others have cropped up as trendy new dining options. This is what Native Americans ate every day before Europeans came.
While the Clovis likely weren't the first people to set foot on American soil, they were responsible for some of the earliest settlements, and they were such good hunters they've been blamed for the mass extinction of one of their favorite meals: The mammoth.
The rise of the Clovis does coincide with the downfall of the mammoths, along with other Pleistocene megafauna. Bones found across 19 Clovis sites suggest that while they were eating a lot of mammoth, they were also eating bison, mastodon, deer, rabbits, and caribou.
Their diet depended greatly on what was nearby, and megafauna seems to be the overwhelming preference. Clovis hunters in Mexico stalked the gomphotheres. As seen from this small section of a gomphothere jaw, they were massive, elephant-like creatures. They also went extinct during this period. In the far north they hunted something even more surprising: Camels. Camels roamed wide sections of what's now Canada, until the Clovis likely hunted them to extinction.

Would you have rather been a hunter or a farmer?
Farmer
Grunge farmer, as long as I could also domesticate some livestock
Definitely a hunter!
Hunter.
A farmer ! For sure !
I’m Native American and raised on a reservation,we ate squirrels,rabbits,deer, beef from our cows . We ate a lot of vegetables from the big gardens we had, we had chickens ,fresh eggs food was good and we always had more than enough for everyone
Hi there.. how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe??
@@richardjames3774 hi I’m doing good how are you
I’m good thank you for asking, hope you enjoying your week. Where are you from?
Gosh I see a friendship blooming! Richard and Theresa. 👍 That's cool. Beat me to it. 😎
Totally groovy the circumstances you described, Theresa. Oh how I wish we could all live that way.
I buy alla my stuff at the store, just the way it is now. I am foolish for not continuing my dad's extensive vegetable gardening tradition I learned from him as a boy, and my mother's extensive knowledge of how to preserve that natural bounty. 👍
food is free in free countries ..
Lots of love to native Americans, from India , I get water in eyes, whenever I listen their history
Make sure u get your info from an indigenous native from the USA and not some pilgrim who thinks he knows.
Oh my God what a sensitive baby. Ever heard of slavery does that get water in your eye too? African Americans had to go through worse
@@secretamericayoutubechanne2961 , sorry , I am like this because, I was grown up very far from all this , we see spirits in every thing , my religion give this sensitivity, my village is far from modern world , I am a animistic hindu, you can understand what my grandmother used to say me from my childhood, but now , the more I am knowing about the history and the world ,the more I am loosing sensitivity

@@chaitanyareddymuthyala2967 I’m both African American and Native American what happened during the Atlantic slave trade was terrible not only for African Americans but what happened to Africa as a whole in the following decades and centuries (note Africa has started to bounce back in major ways but it shouldn’t take away from centuries of ate back left by the Atlantic slave trade). But us native Americans also went through hell and back we saw the loss of many of our civilizations and millions of our people. A lot of our native religions practices and cultures have gone extinct. Fortunately for me I live in Arizona the original homeland of my tribe the Anasazi that is so we have been able to retain a lot of our culture. But other tribes weren’t so fortunate. A lot of us African Americans have been cut off from our original African beliefs back in the homeland. If it wasn’t for my family making it important we visit the part of the continent we are originally from I don’t think I’d know a thing about the African in me which is half of me. But I do think native Americans got it a slight bit worse though .
It was a member of the Potawatomi Tribe that introduced me to the Paw Paw fruit. It grows all over the part of Indiana that I was born, and the Potawatomi band is still active in Indiana. A nickname for the fruit where I grew up is "Indiana Banana", due to its resemblance of other bananas.

Being native, i can attest that for some reason our metabolisms go bonkers if you eat too much junk/fried foods. perhaps thousands of years with the same diet?
Survival genes used to preserve fat for long stretches without any sustenance. Of course native Americans have some of the best survival genes on the planet and these don't perform well in modern society where our diet consists of (mainly deep fried) carbohydrates that are easily stored as fats.
Indigenous Americans are prone to obesity and substance abuse...Genetics I'd guess.
Low quality foods will do that. Plenty of junk food has low quality dairy products and dairy wasn't part of any native American diet.
@@jeremebonesaw The Samoans have this problem too.
@@hotsauceislethal9430 That is a global problem related to change of life styles, from daily hard physical work to sitting more still, and because of fast food and other industrialised crap. I doubt it has anything to do with Native American genes spesific.
There are tons of different kinds of natives and they all ate different things based on there culture.
natives are specific there are native Hawaiians native Alaskans and more native Americans found all this land first, I am a native American don't ask me what tribe cuz I should not have to identify myself to u and never call any native American and Indian it is offensive.

they all ate straight from nature food

I have never believed that men on foot with spears could hunt an animal to extinction. I believe there were other forces that caused the extinction.
@Dillon Mcconnell the same was true in Eurasia but Mammoths survived there until the time of the pyramids. The claim that Pre Columbians hunted Mammoths to extinction is ridiculous.
Why did Bison survive?
It’s all false. Mammoths were killed for an entire tribe, not just one person! They’re SO HUGE!
They didn’t just have spears, they had bows and arrows as well.
The scientific consensus doesn’t cite hunting as the sole purpose of their extinction. Climate change, hunting, and islandization killed off the Mammoth.
THE FLOOD
Dude, it's pronounced ka-HOE-kia, not ka-hoe-KIA. They lived in a part of Illinois where I lived. In elementary school we went on two different field trips to a state park called "Dixon Mounds" which when excavated turned out to be a Kahokia burial site. When the scientists were finished they left the remains exactly as they were found, built an enclosure over the entire site put in walkways and turned the whole series of mounds into a state park that was open to the public. We had some pretty cool field trips when I was in school but this one was by far one of the top 2 or 3.

Very interesting. Good to hear that when Pueblos engaged in a trial where they ate only native foods, chronic health problems went away.
Wholesome real food does wonders. The typical "food" we have today is nowhere near as healthy as real food. You can still get real food, but most of the real food you can buy is not very nutritious due to the heavy reliance on commercial fertilizers which don't typically pay any attention to micronutrients. Real food should be grown in real soil that is either naturally rich or amended with compost made from real materials and real food scraps. Meat is just refined plants. Refined plants is just refined dirt. If you want the plant to be nutritious to the animal (including us), the soil must be nutritious to the plant.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja There is no such thing as 'real food' all food is food. it is exactly the same. period
and no, no such magic 'health problems disappearing with a different diet' has ever happened, nor can it happen
@@JS-wp4gs you are so wrong. Ancient natives did not eat processed, depleated foods. They ate whole foods. And when ANY of us returns to that way of eating, our health diseases can reverse or be prevented.

@@JS-wp4gs tell that to the Amish
This was fun! Thank youuuuuu!
I'm going to shoot from my hip here... But I have a strong feeling that they ate food
A wise answer, not devoid of irony. Much of the modern American diet is not food at all, but rather substances developed in laboratories to replace true nutrition from natural and organic food sources.
Thay ate what was in front of then
Bullseye
@@pascalrouen not really lmao. Processed foods just means predigested which isn't good but it's still nutrition, too much in fact. That's why raw vegetables are good for you, your body works to release the nutrients and you usually don't get them all, thus making you get less calories and storing as fat. Same with processed meats, granted the preservatives arent usually great for you but it's the quantity in which we eat them.
Here in southern ontario, food native to this area are, plums, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, peas, wild leek, carrots, sunflowers, cranberries, apples, 2 species of grapes, and popcorn
I would agree with most of these but just need to say... the premise here is pre-contact, Apples were imported from Europe.... and a think a couple more were as well.. I will have to look into a couple of them. well... if i cared enough LOL :D
@@carltonshell1964 you're right. I should have said crab apples lol
Thanks, just don't care for the killing to eat.
@@davidjohnson6548 grapes are endemic to Southern Europe and the Middle East not North America.
A lot of tribes believe that pemmican, and there are other names for it, was their tribes sacred fuel, basically. It was what kept them healthy, strong, fit, cancer and disease free (especially stuff like diabetes which now plauges some tribes). Personally Im a Colorado River native and we have stories no longer than 150 years ago of long distance runners who could arrive to destinations several dozen, sometimes hundreds, of miles away faster than a horse or mule and in better shape. They had strict diets that involved mostly our own form of pemmican using local ingredients as well as strict physical restrictions. It was really just all the antioxidants, richness of nutrients, plus spiritual and physical discipline. Acorn was Chumash and other coastal natives sacred meat along with stuff like chia seeds, buffalo and berries to the plains .... certain ingredients certain tribes used all indeed scientifically proven to have awesome nutritional benefits. There was a lot of beneficial and environmental knowledge to everything we did and used because we had a looooong time to learn our home before settlers came.
The mammoth was more than likely not hunted into Extinction. There is scant evidence for that hypothesis. It is more than likely that change in climate was at fault, given that there is more evidence for that than hunting.
What is the evidence youre speaking of?
@Mike Jackson LOL....sounds like your theory is just as bad as anyone else's too. In time there will be more evidence of what actually happened to the Mammoth so try not to rush into some strange bone theory.
Cahokia- ka-HOH-keya
Diets were a little more varied than you explained, but given your time format I can understand the glossing over the details of environmental differences and tribal differences made varieties in diet.
I have said it once and I will keep saying it. In some ways Foreign diets are detrimental to indigenous people of a particular area, if your genetics are not use to certain foods, it can wreak havoc on your body, this in no way means there are significant differences in between to people. For example, if your genetics and your ancestral diet did not consist of consuming things like milk, or certain cereal grains, or certain sugars, that means your population did not evolve with those types of foods, so yeah it is gonna effect your health in ways science has yet to understand or explain. The lady at the end proved this point.
When I was in anthropology, they said the average food gathering work time for "primitive" peoples was about 4 hrs a day. There were many days they didn't work at all due to weather. Some days were full, and some days were not so busy, and game playing.
Do you know how often they hunted? I mean, was it a period of the month with lots of preparation or was it something they did daily? It seems to me that hunting takes a lot of work and time even today(with modern equipment), i wonder how they did it.
@@MsRiqueman Native Americans dried their food in case the hunting wasn’t successful sometimes.
I question how the anthropology department came up with such convenient numbers. Like "4 hours per day". Ok, an 'average'-?
Does that mean that the mother spent an average of 4 hours a day, or does that mean the mother and her 3 or perhaps more children spent that 4 hours per day processing something into an edible and palatable substance used to be a meal? I can guarantee you the father wasn't involved. Hunting only, and hanging out with the other 'alpha' males.
Text book information used directly as a teaching tool leaves many variables, and too many questions, and to myself is quite suspect to its authenticity. But it's suitable for classrooms. Fits well into the curriculum. I guess. Just don't ask too many questions, and look in the book for all of the test answers, whether or not they seem plausible.😉
You could possibly learn the truth elsewhere, later, if it's important to what you care about. Passing those courses, at the time, is imperative for advancement.
They didn't have a 2100 dollar mortgage to pay either.

No pics of water buffalo standing in for American bison PLEASE !!!
My 8th Ancestor's the Cherokee's we hunted deer , fish , chicken , cow , turkey , and grew veggies and fruits, nuts. & I be both a hunter / farmer.
Ben Franklin loved eating turkey so much, he wanted to make it the national bird.
There wasn't enough people to cause extinction to any species at that time
bullshit, there were millions
@@slimeronio nope
How true. As far as I know people only numbered 100,000 to around 200,000 over all of North America when the Mammoths went extinct. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less but even if there were a million people it still wouldn't populate North America heavily enough to make whole species extinct. New research appears to show that much of the mega fauna in North America was already experiencing decreasing numbers before humans arrived. We don't know for sure why just yet but eventually I hope we'll figure it out. Most global extinction events take many 10's of thousands to hundred's of thousands of years anyway so they could have been in the early stages of the 6th extinction event we say we are currently in.
@@davemeise2192 I agree
Have you seen the reports of UFOs recently? It was dinner time. Was dinner time when the dinosaurs went extinct, and I'm betting its dinner time again....tag your it

Hi there.... how are you doing? Hope you are fun and staying safe?
Nice vid!
Hi. Thanks! Your video snuck itself in my flow! Duck you! Fanks!!
This is largely inaccurate. The staple food for most tribes were mast crops of many kinds. In the southwest it was mesquite beans and pinon, dried, ground and stored to make soups or flatbreads like tortillas. In the northern tier it was acorns (barely mentioned in the vid) and other nuts that were roasted, ground and dried for storage throughout the year. Acorns had to be leached of tannins (mildly poisonous) and then roasted for long term storage. It wasn't until the horse was introduced to the plains that those tribes moved from agriculture (maize, beans, squash, etc) to bison. Of course they all hunted, but meat was a luxury and not seen every day. The staple everyday foods were foraged from the natural world or grown around the village, mostly by the women, then dried for the lean winter months. Arrowheads and lances are made from chert and can be found everywhere, but the wooden implements for farming or woven baskets for storage are long gone which leaves the impression that they were dependent on game animals. That's just not the way it was.
In the east there were massive, semi cultivated chestnut forests . You can almost live off chestnuts completely and anything else was bonus. It's how the early settlers could just go off in the wilderness and live year round.
They stampeded bison off cliffs before they had horses.
This was informative thank you for the video on my people. I’m of Iroquois descend.
We share DNA, the Irish and Iroquois both have Basque DNA in varying degrees. Ours (Irish) is rather high.
Navajo are said to have this DNA also.

Damn right!!
I’m Oglala Lakota, born and raised on the Pine Ridge reservation and we eat and ate mostly meat, there just wasn’t a lot of vegetable farming growing on and the vegetables we did eat were mostly things you could just pick up at the local grocery stores, we ate mostly bison, deer, elk, beef, chicken, rabbit, pheasant and other wild game that we would hunt. Bread, meat and berries were main staples in what we ate, if it could be traveled and preserved well we ate it lol. I’m not exactly sure what other tribes that weren’t on the plains would eat but traveling to Pow Wows always gave us a chance to try foods from other tribes. Pine Ridge and the Badlands were not known for producing many farmed foods.
No Cherokee? Still very interesting video.

Too bad this guy is full of crap and doesn't know what he is talking about. I am indigenous, is he? i am offended by his videos.
I think native Americans weren't that good at proprietorship of the land, they just didn't have the means to destroy it.
They did not understand land ownership.
No they were like hippies super into like nature and like camping and like moving around and observing the beauty of the natural landscape
There was a study on Vancouver island British Columbia on a First Nation band, The band members had heart issues, over weight, Diabetes and other health issues,, after years of growing up eating western food with a lot of it High cholesterol , They went back to their traditional diet ,Which was being from the Pacific Ocean was shell fish , many varieties of Fish like Salmon , cod Halibut and others, their health improved and lost weight be more healthy
I have had this theory for years There are also some natives in the southwest. The part of the tribes in the US eating processed food--very hi incidence of disease, those in Mexico on a traditional dies are healthy with no diabetes, obesity I also think our genetics are such that we should eat basically types of food our ancestors ate 200 years ago , as people who culturally had no dairy now have trouble with dairy as an example
I've been studying this for years. Living closely with First Nations communities in BC. There is definitely a gut biome difference. Partly due to genetics and the development of our gut biome from our mother. I went to a lecture once, with the woman who discovered FAS. She discovered it due to First Nations being particularly susceptible due to the generational lack of alcohol drinking mom's throughout the ages. Us Europeans have been dealing with drinking dirty water a long time .... Truely fascinating - and the disgusting processed foods aren't any better for us either , I'm glad to hear there was acceptance to return to a traditional diet and that the elders became healthier! We need them and their knowledge!
Sounds like the native Americans diet.Was pretty healthy compared to modern day foods.

revival? ever been to a rez? we never stopped eating them.... Also there are some tribal lands, among the Muskogee and Seminole at the very least, that still live very traditionally. Even going as far as building traditional housing and only eating what you catch that day..
Nice Video, However you missed a lot of facts and foods. For example, you barely mentioned the most important staple across the Americas, Acorn... Acorn Flour was the base for most pre-contact recipes along with wild rice for ALL the tribes and for as far back as archeology can take us, yet you mention it as a foot note as something the Yurok "also used". Acorn Flour was used as a flat bread and used as an ingredient in other dishes. Also Asi (Black Drink) was the ceremonial drink of the Lamar people.. (The actual "mound builders" which INCLUDED the Kahokia), some of their descendants, who you called the "Fort Walton Culture", where called the "Mississippi River Basin Peoples", and are now known as the Mvskoke peoples (Muskogee Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Hitchiti, and Mikasuki among others) Asi was the same thing as Casina with Casina being a thinner drink, for regular consumption. Many if us Mvskoke still drink it to this day.
Most Native American foods ain't around anymore? LOL, 60% of the world's crops is Native American bred and cultivated and 75% of the world's ingredients and foods as a whole is Native American influenced. But I agree with the last segment, yes much of the health problems such as diabetes of Natives is linked to westernized food (well more so the diet for poor people) with it's high amounts of unnatural sugars such as high fructose corn syrup, glucose in breads and trans fats, when the Natives go back to a more traditional based diet they become more healthy. The Natives are still genetically getting used to Eurasian and African foods to this day.
Interesting story and video
A lot of those native on the east coast were farmers
And in the the southwest and Mexico
Informative (even if some information was wrong: IDK)---and surprisingly, made me _hungry_ in the middle of the night! One thing I do know is wrong: "where the devil did you get your pronunciation for _Cahokia?_ It's pronounced "Ca-HOKE-ia." Just sayin'. Stay safe, everybody.
I live in the foothills of Appalachia in Tennessee. When my people came Cherokee use this is a hunting ground they did not claim it as theirs but there had been permanent settlements here by the people before the Cherokee. They were gone when my people came but you can tell some about there Lifestyle by looking at the old firepits. It looked like their mine stay was the little snails that live on the bottom of the river that and small game like rabbits raccoons possums. Which they thoroughly consumed even down to the bone marrow. You can find the shattered bones and the shells of the snails by the thousands all around there fire pits.
@Buster Cheeks I'm in Warren County Tennessee. I live on the bank of the Collins River. There's evidence of their lifestyle in many cave entrances and Rock overhangs and the fertile Flat River bottoms.
Damn! The Clovis civilization must've been quite substantial to have have eaten through megafauna!!!
Millions ? That's a whole lot of animals. Whole species?
I don't know about that!
@Sam Rima, its a theory, not hard evidence, but i see a lot of people latching onto this, as if its been proven. Its freaking crazy, how some people can hear something and run with it like its been proven.
Maybe some of this is true, Natives in BC Canada planted "Indian gardens" a potpourri of vegetables, herbs and medicinal's along travel routes. The coastal Haida would paddle to what is now California for a fun bit of battle and slave taking. Not the desperate people portrayed here
Yep
What about the corn they showed Brits how to grow due to the fact they were starving? They should have left them alone.
The native american who taught the pilgrims how to plant was actually educated in Europe. Unfortunately many European settlers took up the more normal native farming methods of slash and burn then move on abandoning centuries of land husbandry practiced by most European farmers.
@@shermanhofacker4428 the British in America didn't know what corn was.
There weren’t millions of Clovis - they didn’t push anything into extent ions- glaciations and or tectonic events were the more likely culprit - and you could throw in a couple of large meteor strikes -
Thank God you know the real story bahahahahaha
So glad you were around 15,000 years ago to let us hear your experience based knowledge
Loved this video. My ancestors were in better shape than we will ever be in the world of pharmaceutical greed
AFAIK, buffalo are not native to the Americas. They're native to Africa and Asia. Bison, OTOH, are native to the Americas. Methinks you meant bison not buffalo when talking about the Pueblo culture.
Bison is sometimes called buffalo.
At 1030 you are showing a European cave painting. Those are horses and aurochs that never existed in North America
Yet again I have to correct the use of the term 'corn'. In English it literally means 'seed' as in 'acorn' ie 'Oak seed'. The correct word you should be using is 'maize'.
When the first settlers encountered maize they had no specific word for it, but recognised it as a grain, ie a type of corn.
The Folsom did NOT hunt Bison with bows and arrows!!! Folsom points were hafted onto atlatl darts.
Bad information, You're stating that a few thousand or let's few 100 thousand Clovis killed all the mammoths in North America with spears? Then after they killed all of them they killed all the camels too? Do some reading. Research the Younger Dryas period.
Wrong period. Younger Dryas period ended 11,600 years ago and bison antiquus went extinct 10,000 years ago (most of the woolly mammoths 10,500 years ago)
Truth B Known you should probably pay closer attention to the video instead of just trying to find things wrong with it.
@@steveswangler6373 just believe, never question.
Far too many minor errors were made in this narrative. Place name pronunciation and extinction being high on my list. That whole cannibalism being common thing in the Chaco area is extremely suspect.
I agree that a competent editor would have caught some of the things mentioned. My nitpicking tends to have issues with the same incorrect or lazy graphic choices. Bison and "Buffalo" are words used interchangeably when talking about Bison., Graphics showing South Asian Water Buffalo should not be used. When using the term "fish" you could do better by showing a variety of native fresh and saltwater species rather and a generic slide of a couple of European introduced and invasive Carp. Do better.
This gentleman never mentioned the sport of shooting bison (to extinction) from moving trains.
I am of native descent. I eat allot of what we always ate. Good food don't get old. If you like it,,

Yea and rabbit. Deer,, trout,,, etc,
Europeans began to come into the Georgia/Florida area around 1200 CE? That sounds a little early to me, except for a limited foray by Leif Eriksen. I thought the colonization began in earnest around the early 17th century.
Actual colonization and western settlement didn’t start until the early 1600’s, you’re correct. However, outlying travelers and adventurers from Europe and Asia had made contact with the American continent long before that.
@@jaredschmidt8013 That makes sense. Thanks for the info.
Clovis people were in florida 5k plus years before "natives". Clovis people are from France. Therefore the "natives" from Eurasia are the true colonialist. Europeans killed off by the "natives" are indeed the real native americans.
Thanks for the informative upload! Interesting outcome for the Pueblo Diet experiment!
The average USA diet is the culprit of many chronic diseases.
I am stunned by the inaccuracies.
Everyone here thinking tribes couldn't have possibly hunted species to extinction has never been hungry or seen what a single wind turbine can do to bird population.
Referring to the foods that would help the Native Americans to relieve ailments caused by their modern diets, they showed a photo of a cape buffalo at 9:37 which is from Africa. It is highly unlikely that meat from this large herbivore would be available.
Unless the real natives actually came from Africa and brought them. 🤔
Tbh the foods from the Americas were so good (and hardy) that they are used in nearly every cuisine in the world now.
Peppers, tomatoes, corn, squash, potatoes. They are part of the traditional foods of many countries now. We think of tomato sauce as Italian but tomatoes came from the Americas.
Not to mention blueberries, tobacco, chocolate, coffee, and vanilla.
Interesting because I just watched a video by a doctor who spoke about these very things regarding the harmful attacks on our guts from the processed foods and how corn is especially bad now from all the contaminated effects it has.
Honestly I'd love to try this diet of non-gmo hormone free fresh unprocessed food
there is nothing wrong with gmo foods. most foods we eat have been genetically modified. as shown in the section of the video talking about corn. ever eaten a banana? gmo.
instead of being spooked by pseudo scientists and letters, look into things first. you'e been eating genetically modified foods your entire life.
@@steveswangler6373 GMO equals grown veggies with pesticides and toxic ingredients. Not to mention the health problems resulting from this processed and altered food. I discovered long ago that eliminating all gmo’s and eating healthy solved some of my health problems. You are really what you eat.
@@steveswangler6373 GMO and hybrids are not the same
Keto never eat Soy
You can just break out your wallet lol
So has anyone found camel fossils in Canada before ??
We're finding out that there was a lot of cannibalism going on around Mesa Verde even in times of Plenty when there is plenty of game in 1020. The modern-day natives consider them to be the ancient ones so they didn't know anything about them either
James Audubon travels documenting birds ... lots of wildlife back then
So there were millions of Clovis? Please
Better question is, what did Europeans ate before meeting the Native Americans lol
In America? Nothing 😉
Bread,beef,pork, fish and many other things
Each other lol
the other half of the mammots
@@thingol--_1 😝
The last 20 seconds was the most interesting...you should do a story on that.
folsom did not use bows and arrows. They used atlatl darts. The Bow and Arrow came much later to North America.
Use BC and Ad when dating, please.
All the same. BCE and CE referring to Before Common Era and CE. Makes more sense to everyone, especially to non-Christians. Actually, I've often thought the best benchmark for dating would be the moment Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon. A first that pretty much pinpoints a time reference. Even better than StarTrek's Stardate.
Thank you ! I was going through the comments to see if anyone else felt the same way -- if there are 2 if us, there must be more out there
@@Scharpy1
HUH ?? NOPE.
finally a video of my people
I'm a full blooded Choctaw
YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS BLAME EVERYONE ELSE FOR EVERYTHING WRONG WHEN IT ACTUALLY WAS YOU WHO HAVE DESTROYED SO MUCH .THE INDIANS ONLY KILLED WHAT THE TRIBE NEEDED AND USED EVERY PART OF THEIR KILL .THEY WERE FINE UNTIL YOU ALL ARRIVED .THERE SHOULD BE THE NATIVE INDIANS SHOULD BE TELL THEIR OWN STORY ,LIKE ALWAYS YOU ALL TELL EVERYONE ELSE'S STORY . WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ANYONE ELSE'S HISTORY.WHEN YOU NEVER LIVED IT.
@@dorothytemple4195 calm down, try getting new batteries.
@@stevenortiz2493 YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL .
@@dorothytemple4195 Haha your culture is dead you are just pretending now in Finland we have real natives. Hahahah
@@stevenortiz2493 don’t worry about Dorothy’s punkass 😭. We get what you are saying ‼️
The black drink was drunk by these Indians daily. Yaupon holly contains caffeine. Yes they also used it in purging ceremonies. I really enjoyed this vid😊
I love history about the Native Americans just about anybody else too but I love their religion it's about nature and respect and also they ate wild plants that were very good for you and I am part native American probably from the south west. 👍
The names given to these tribes is arbitrary and divined from a colonial culture. There were hundreds of tribal names and all of the people they are talking about are their ancestors.
When you are saying CE are you meaning AD? Why don't you say AD then?
Because AD stands for Anno Domini , or The Year of our Lord. It has religious overtones, while CE , or Current Era is neutral.
It's PC bullshit that never really caught on. And I'm an atheist saying this.
@@automnejoy5308 I agree with you. Pure PC bullshit and we as a nation can do with less bullshit.
The world became a richer place with the adoption of crops cultivated in the pre-Columbia Americans:
Avocados, vanilla, chocolate, cassava, cashews, cranberry, chili peppers, peanuts, pecans, papaya, persimmon, pineapples, potatoes, beans, maize, maple syrup, squash, sunflower, tomatoes, tobacco and much more.
This is so interesting.
I wish I can say interpreting food history for myself ,
But we Filipinos would have to go to ancient ancient times to find Any sign of unique culture and independence, since we've always been a culture mixed with others from Asia and eventually Europe and America
Native Americans were the greatest group of people God ever created, damn good hunters too , I live next to a reservation in the upper peninsula of Michigan and have many good friends and buddies from the rez, lots of good hunts and cook outs, love those guys man!
Or evolve
Kept my attention until he pronounced "Cahokia" wrong, then took the rest with a grain of salt....still interesting though.
Your information on the extinct of mammoths was NOT the killing by the Native Indian but asteroid hiting north America about 12,000 years ago.
My mother told me that the caribs would eat the tainos if captured as a ceremonial event . They believed that if they ate their enemy it would give them strength and power.
Wow, that is something else!
We've come a long way!
No we haven't
Wish we were still there now
Next what Native Americans ate before Eskimos came
Inuit, not Eskimos.
Inuit not that. Word it has a bad history
Eskimos are funny 🤣
I loved this, thank you. However, I am descended from Cherokee and live right next to the Cahokia mounds near Saint Louis, Missouri. You are pronouncing it incorrectly.
Why does ever movie I see with native Europeans try to dispute native legitimacy in America they always think that natives would have wiped all the species of animals off of North American continent.
Anasazi is actually an insult. It means enemy ancestors and it's what the Navajo called the Pueblo Natives.
Yeah but it sounds cool and when you say Anasazi we know who were talking about we're talking about the ancient puebloans
If you know that much you should know that we're quickly finding out they were cannibals
@@secretamericayoutubechanne2961 yes, the tell tale marks on human skulls that only come from boiling in a pot. Also butchering marks on human bones.
@@secretamericayoutubechanne2961 it does sound cool except it is an insult and heaven forbid we not be politically correct! 🤣
@@blanchekonieczka9935 that's right the name should stick because it sounds a lot cooler than saying ancient Pueblos. Anasazi sounds cool and when you say Anasazi we all know exactly who we are talking about at exactly what time. We're talking about the people who were at Cliff Palace in 1120. The Navajo didnt come around till later even if thec word is derived from Navajo, it may mean ancient Unknown people, or Ancient Ghosts. So get off it Bitch. I'll see you out there in the field this summer, I'll be all around Mesa Verde in my van. I'm a native of Colorado, and also a ColoraDo writer.
or Read the book '1491' by Charles Mann - First Nations domesticated 60% of the World's food, why First Nations didn't have to sail away for new lands and food.
Natives showed them to hunt and farm. In winter and times of famine natives helped as well.
That's strange the Oneonta only occasionally elk. Lewis and Clark found elk in great abundance west of Mississippi. Larger and more abundant that deer.
Poverty Point Mounds are just a few miles from my house in NE Louisiana little is known about these people they have not come up with a tribe name yet
$5 foot-longs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They all ate before Europeans came, or they would have died before it happened.
Did they eat Hormel chili?
No way were those large animals hunted to extinction, they roamed in massive herds
Such good hunters . Wow . Surprised you didn’t say the colonist hunted the mammoths into extinction.
