Thanks again DW, for another great documentary! A native Californian, I am well versed in my country west of the Rocky Mountains but little about states east of there! This was a great glimpse of life along the Southern Mississippi.

Thank you for making this wonderful documentary. My best wishes to the people of the Choctaw Nation! ❤

A fabulous documentary but would like to have seen much more of the river especially its source.

"It’s important to note that although the mounds were named after the Cahokia tribe of the Illiniwek confederacy who arrived in the 17th century, they were not the original inhabitants. The original name of the city is shrouded in mystery." I lived nearby and attended Shawnee College. I visited the Mounds state park. I remember a historical plaque that read the original people moved away and who they were was a mystery.

Ireland will always be great full to the Choctaw people for their help during the Irish famine. We have built a beautiful monument in their honour.🇮🇪☘️

It was a wonderful documentary shared by an excellent ( DW) .video about a certain Indian tribe's native red Indian cultures. Documentary focused on Chikto tribe culture on Mississippi River ... thanks for sharing

Great documentary. Little sad that music from the Delta was highlighted but a Mumford & Sons song was chosen to play in the background for most it..

I worked for the Louisiana Geological Survey from 1981-1986. And I worked on wetland loss. I wasn't the only one. Hundreds of scientists have worked on wetland loss and deltaic dynamics, mostly since the 60s. There are now other important institutions doing this work. I understand you want to tell a human story, but the guy in his motorized paraglider isn't doing anything new - the delta has been flown and mapped all these decades in a quantitative (but less spectacular) manner. So I'm disappointed in the simplistic way you portrayed this.

Seen a mound like that in Britain, apparently druids built it over centuries of praying to a local god and offerring small amounts of soil.

I think whoever is the author of this documentary did not do a great job. You should have started the doc by giving us details about Mississippi River, it’s history and geography but author has started diving into cultures instead

I wish I could learn about ALL of America's native history. It sickens me that we have all been taught lies and a different way than what actually happened. It's all nothing but a giant cover up that is still being pulled out tooth by tooth.

Man, I think this was the worst DW documentary that I've come across so far. It's great that it showed some highly underrepresented cultures and I suppose you have to talk about the music scene a bit, but it's astounding how much got left out. St. Louis and the area where the Ohio and Missouri rivers meet the Mississippi don't exist and the river's the whole reason why Grant's Vicksburg campaign was so important, but they don't exist, either. There were some mentions about trade, but not about the steamships nor the Sultana disaster, which exploded near Memphis, and Mark Twain's probably the most famous author associated with the Mississippi. And finally, talking about Louisiana's erosion is definitely important, but the Mississippi also carries a ton of agricultural products downstream so uncontrolled algae growth has caused a massive dead zone in the Gulf. But hey, we got to watch a car show.

Disappointing. I live in Southern Arizona in the shadow of the Colorado River. I'd have hoped you would have discussed the headwaters of the Mississippi, it's importance to commerce and trade, recreational uses, it's impact on farming, water rights, etc. Instead they concentrated on vignettes that, for the most part, had little to do with the river.

“…after the civil war, one in every four cowboys was black. But Hollywood wrote them out history.”

While I greatly appreciate many of DW's documentaries I must bring up a point of terminology that can be viewed as problematic at best that of "settlement" by Europeans in the Americas. All of these lands were settled long before Europeans even knew they were here. To claim otherwise is pejorative at best. I am sure this was not the intent and editing will occur in future work.

@GrantDWilliams82

No they weren't. The largest "city" was only the size of a very small modern town. Randomly building a hut a few times isn't "settling." A place. Vaguely waving your hand out towards the horizon and being like "I my dad or my great great grandfather built a temporary hut somewhere over there one time" isn't settlement. Stop diluting words. 99% of North America was never actually settled. No particular part of it ever belonged to anyone in particular, in any meaningful sense.
