  • Wow 1k views. Thanks for watching our video. I did the voice acting for the video and it was not easy to pronounce some of those names.

    Some of us are descended from these Indigenous people and they did migrate. We have a lot of information about our migration, both word of mouth and records. We have dna pointing directions of when and where tribes split and migrated to.
  • The Shawnee also had a large area that went from upper north west corner of Pennsylvania too all the way around Lake Erie up into Michigan and used too war with the Creek Indian Tribe in Georgia over hunting grounds in between! They traded with the Delaware from that area of Delaware State and the Delaware river! Being Shawnee and Delaware we were adopted by the Cherokee, because we had no where to go! Technically I belong too three American Indian tribes! I have a role number with each!

    When I was in the Army I visited Rockingham North Carolina I met numerous native American people that lived there in surrounding Communities Catawba, Cherokee mixed blood natives
  • The Luray native, (with which the town of Luray in Page County) is likely a lost language, though I have to wonder if the language could be a dialect of the (greater) Cherokee tongue(?) The (local surname) "Grandstaff" came about from local history where the historic Edinburg Mill (still standing) was attacked by the Luray obviously in response to a previous skirmish from white settlers (German and later Scots/Irish).

    Thank you. This was beautiful. I love the long houses. The long grass dome huts wete neat looking. I guess women made those, too? They helped on the long houses, right? Didn't the men climb the longhouses to place and weave the grass? Thanks.
  • Thank you for this great video, very informative and interesting. ☮❤🦘🇦🇺
  • My father's side of the family where I get my last name, practically "owned" the state of West (By God!) Virginia! We are a solid mix of Shawnee and Cherokee.

    Thanks for making this informative video. Researched well. Just this on the photos. I know some (many) tribes in the East, and elsewhere, began to "dress for the tourists" and donned Plains style clothing for photographing. Using them here, however, may be reinforcing stereotypes.

    I found some jasper shards while kayaking the Shenandoah river at Flint run.
  • Do you know if LiDAR is being used at all to help find additional Native American locations in the Shenandoah Valley?
  • I am a descendant of Sequoia or his English name George Gist. I am a Gist. Direct descendant of Christopher and Mordecai.

    You can bet that in 1831, Chief Justice John Marshall wasn't using the words Native American even though that's a government created PC word.
  • Hey it's plain and simple put everything back the way you found it you don't dig in our cemeteries and we don't dig up yours

    The Huron were an Iroquois-speaking Nation but they WERE NOT a part of the 5 Nation Iroquois Confederacy. The 5 Nations hunted/hounded/harassed the Huron relentlessly. Traveling hundreds of miles just for the prospect of finding and killing any remaining Huron they had not successfully exterminated already.
