Before the Inuit. Before the Pueblo cities. Before the great trade networks of later centuries. Across the northern half of the Americas, very different societies were adapting to some of the most challenging environments on earth. In this episode we explore: • The Dorset culture of the Arctic — among the most skilled cold-climate hunters in ancient history • The rise of complex chiefdoms among the hunter-gatherers of the Pacific Northwest and California • Early farmers and mobile societies across the Great Basin, Southwest, and Plains • The continental trade networks moving shell, obsidian, copper, jade, feathers, and more across vast distances Long before famous civilizations appeared, the Americas were already deeply connected.
