Surfing the Great Lakes

Think the explorers or the voyageurs opened up North America, finding trade and travel routes? Do you imagine regional indigenous peoples once living in idyllic isolation? Think again. With the help of National Geographic Travel Media Editor Norie Quintos, North Americana explores the massive crossroads of pre-contact North America. Northern Ontario’s Manitoulin Island is a fascinating portal to the Great Lakes first peoples, and their ancient axis across which trade, people and ideas flowed from the far north to the Gulf of Mexico to the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast. And all this millennia before Christopher Columbus.  In this episode, meet the Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes flowing across the Canada US border.  Hear their fascinating stories on their own terms.  Like our host Liz Beatty, you’ll be forever changed.
