Loved your piece. I teach this to high school students. Only one thing to correct... (teacher syndrome: look for the errors)... Columbus was not looking for a "Northwest Passage" as you mention at 3:23. Rather, as you later mention, he postulated that by going straight to the West he would eventually end up in the (East) Indies. The term "Northwest Passage" came after the exploring nations realized that the West Indies were not in fact the Indies. The American continents were in the way of the westward route. Then explorers such as Hudson and Cartier were hired to find a "Northwest Passage" to still achieve that mythical short route to the Indies.

Many Native Americans from Central and South America are direct descendents of the Oceanian tribes from Indonesia, the Philippines and even the Japanes (Ainu peoples), most of the most important civilizations come from the Maori. Based on recent findings it is even possible that these people form Oceania migrated first and before those Asians who entered by feed via the Bering Strait. Quecha languages and genetics all along the Andean mountains and the Amazon share many similarities, costumes and even the same words and concepts of gods to random tribes on Indonesia. Muisca peoples from Colombia also believed in a fying snake god similar to those dragons that the chinese culture portraits.

Yeah but you couldn't say that the Native Americans 'discovered' America though. The journey from Asia to America across the land bridge during the Ice Age would've taken place over many generations. And they would've been completely unaware the whole time that they had moved onto an entirely different continent, it was all just generic land to them. It's like saying that horses 'discovered' Asia when they travelled across the land bridge from America to Asia during the Ice Age, they didn't realise anything about the idea of continents or the significance of discovering new land.

@@SEB1991SEB The concept of discovery and movement did had a significance for nomad comunities, migration and apropiation of territories was a thing back then as well, so it was pretty much the same or similar as today. I say it because what actually pushes humans to move further and further away into new places is usually climate or conflict, hunter gatherer/nomad cummunities usually circle throgout the same land as long as possible knowing that there's some specific places rich in resources and animals to eat, depending on the season they'll return to these certain specific places, when another group appears or the group disbands then this territory would need to be shared or fought to gain control, just like the nomadic communities who pushed large migrationsinto the roman empire or the native americans in south america who still have disputes over lands, all of this happens unless they just move away in search of new hospitable land and enstablish there, a new world only for them to live in, this was definetively of big significance for these cultures and the future civilizations of their sons, just like when many greek communities were forced to migrate and ended up populating most of the Mediterranean when non owned land started to scarce in their own territory, leaving the seeds for many other civilizations to grow over the same culture bases.

Interesting description of St. Brendon's voyage. Sounds like he took a similar route that Erik the Red & Leif Erikson would take years later heading N-W into Iceland & bypassing Greenland to N. America. Since Scandinavia is much further north, they would travel more directly W than N-W. Tim Severin didn't just cross the Atlantic proving that it can be done with a primitive boat. He also crossed the Pacific on a bamboo raft from Vietnam to the coast of N. America riding the Kuroshio (Japan) Current. He made it far enough to the coast of British Columbia, Canada before being rescued by coast guards when his raft was rotting away. The British Naval Officer Gavin Menzies wrote the book: "1421, the Year China Discovered America". Back in the Ming Dynasty, the 3rd Emperor Zhudi commissioned a fleet of treasure ships to explore the known world. Menzies speculated some of the ships may have landed in America.

@@billrobertjoe First you should reread my comment. Then do things like look at a map and ask yourself why does the US appear to be so much larger than Canada when its much smaller by land mass. Bet my bottom dollar you know very little about Canada or the EU or pretty much anything of any country other than the US. Hey, dont feel bad as our education system is just as bad. The only thing Canadians like many others know about the US is what they see coming out of Hollyweed. Actually the slave trade started in Africa. As long as theres been humans theres been slavery. Take Harris for example. She kept prisoners past their release date as they needed the slaves. Thanks to Obama Libya has open air slave trading. China with the Turkic in forced vital organ donation/slave labor camps where people find notes to rescue them in stuff they buy? Hell, China just had a bunch of sweeter siezed for using slaves. What about Apple? Child labor for Cobalt? The US to have white slaves working textile and tobacco. Many of the white poor people from Europe had to work 2 years as a slave to earn the right to freedom. Then there was Anthony Johnson the first legal slave owner in the US that just happened to be black. The liberals dont like that fact so much.

@@tocarules "why does the US appear to be so much larger than Canada when its much smaller by land mass. " Like the other comment, The Mercator Projection distorts the size of objects as the latitude increases from the Equator to the poles, where the scale becomes infinite. So, for example, Greenland and Antarctica appear much larger relative to land masses near the equator than they actually are. Another example is that Greenland and Africa are roughly shown as the same size, although in reality, Africa is about fourteen times larger. Because it is impossible to project a (roughly) spherical earth onto a flat map without significant distortion. The projection, I think you're talking about is the Robinson Projection which makes America bigger than it actually is.

Columbus sailed west and southwest, not northwest. The Northwest Passage was only a term to describe sailing into the arctic after the discovery of the Americas and the realization that it was not the East Indies, something Colombus did not live long enough to understand. He thought he had reached Asia until his death, although he did realize that the lands were "unknown" parts of the Asian world. He had no idea the Pacific ocean existed to the west of Cuba and the Carribean.

i disagree with you on the statues. we don’t have statues to teach us history, we have them to honor people - so yes, taking the statues of people down who shouldn’t be honored makes sense. and nobody thinks “well if we take this statue down the bad thing that person did never happened”

Given the language connection between Algonquin and Gaelic I think it's safe to say the Gaelic speaking Irish definitely got there fairly early on, lol

In the United States, 4th grade circa 1976, we were still taught that Eric the Red/Leif Erickson discovered the Eastern end of Turtle Island, and the Mongols had discovered the Northwest end over the Straight thousands of years before. Then in the 6th grade we were taught - complete with videos - that the Aztecs and the Mayans had homed the Southwestern section of the continent and that the Umatilla Nation had come to the Southeast from this people, and all intermingled together over centuries and branched out well before Columbus ever existed. To this day, I think Columbus Day is stupid.
