#1 The Americans Before Columbus Part 1

On October 20, 2022, I re-recorded this episode, which was first published on January 3, 2021, with a few small tweaks and interjections. This is that version. This is the first substantive episode of The History of the Americans Podcast. For an introduction to this podcast series, please check out “Introductions and such,” which includes a short introductory podcast. This episode is a high-level look at how the European and European-American view of the indigenous peoples of North America has changed over the last five hundred years, and why it has changed.
