Episode 6 - Close Encounters of the Columbian Kind

Exploring the history of European and Native American contacts - 1003 to 1890. A new podcast and other web-based materials, based upon the product of your humble author's research of actual historians, archeologists, anthropologists, geneticists, and others.  Some of this stuff comes from legends, oral histories of Native and European civilizations, scientific analysis of genetic populations, anthropological and archeological references, written history and of course our own speculation as to human nature, common sense and our experience.  All of this in context, we hope.
