Ep#2: Episode #8002: "The Lost Colony of Roanoke, Virginia". My students had so many questions today in 8th Grade, about how this colony sounded by John White could just vanish completely, over the course of three years. They asked questions like "Wouldn't there be skeletons", and "How could it just be gone?"

Students describe the cooperation and conflict that existed among the American Indians and between the Indian nations and the new settlers. 1. Describe the competition among the English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Indian nations for control of North America. 2. Describe the cooperation that existed between the colonists and Indians during the 1600s and 1700s (e.g., in agriculture, the fur trade, military alliances, treaties, cultural interchanges).

In this podcast we look at some of the recent findings by archaeological digs, what we know, and what we might know more about in the future.
