Another crop that could've been used is pumpkins which are said to have originated in South America. Sweet potatoes, (camotli) also originated there and came north through migration and trade. A food that used to be huge in precolumbian times was amaranth Huauhtli in Nahuatl and Kiwicha in Quechua which, as you can imagine, spread wide. Chia is another one that was huge and it's still big in the southwest U.S. tribes but it's mostly forgotten in Mesoamerica in spite of placenames like CHIApas.

yes, philomelodia, you bring up very good points, which i might incorporate into future lectures. thanks.

He conveniantly leaves out the migration through Siberia, over the land bridge, and into Alaska. This is further proven by the Olmecs, who predate the Mayans, that lived in the area around the Gulf of Mexico. They carved giant heads (over 3 meters high) out of basalt that have distinct asian characteristics.

[anahuacwarrior]

first it was african, now the olmec's have "asian characteristics"! can't you people get the story straight. by the way, you left out "martian" and the lost tribes of israel, too. all that baseless non-sense is a way of saying that "indians" are too stupid to have done any of this themselves. your name suits you well, you have no class.

Fox news sucks

A good message for most of it, but what's with the genetic anthropology at the end? An awkwardly colonial European way of categorising people. Celebrate the diversity of the indigenous cultures, just as Europeans have diversity - don't lump them together based on biological similarity. You don't need to pretend you're all the same culture, due to some genetic similarity, to be united in getting recognition.

What happened to the Oto-Manguean  language branch? That's where the Zapoteco comes from.

@agentc73 indigenous to the continent.with the right to migrate.

[nicantlacaroots]

@anahuacwarrior so where do you think we nican tlaca came from?

Xanahuia, Carlos!

I just wanted to politely ask if you can provide the sources where you get your information from, and post them on the video description. I think the video is very important to the building of our language, and I could truly use the sources to further expand our knowledge.
