I wanted to shout out this series because it does such a good job of telling the history of Indigenous persons in the Americas. As a teacher I would be hard pressed to find a better documentary resource for outlining the history of the Americas. The series is produced from an Indigenous perspective. Every scientist or anthropologist interviewed is Indigenous and displays great respect for traditional knowledge. The history of the land is intertwined with the history of settlement in the Americas. An ongoing point of discussion is the relationship between scientific inquiry and traditional knowledge. The reenactments are done in period costuming and I believe the languages spoken are also authentic.
