Native America Calling: New fossil discoveries and Indigenous origins
Monday, October 4, 2021
Newly discovered fossilized human footprints from New Mexico issue another blow to the conventional scientific theory about when humans came to North America.
Many tribes have pushed back against the so-called land bridge across the Bering Strait theory because it conflicts with traditional knowledge. The new fossil evidence could add weight to their case.
Native America Calling will talk with Indigenous archaeologists about the new scientific revelations and inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in archaeological science.Fossilized footprints at White Sands National Park reveal human habitation of North America thousands of years earlier than previously thought https://t.co/npWNQPqrVa Photo: @NatlParkService @uarizona @bournemouthuni @Cornell pic.twitter.com/9VrvJzjqRR
