Surprising Lineages of the Cherokees
Participants in DNA Consultants’ Cherokee DNA Studies proved to have other lineages than just haplogroup A, B, C, D and sometimes X.
The participants’ nonstandard maternal lines confirm the incredible diversity of Cherokees and suggest that various clans came by water from the Old World, not across a hypothetical land-bridge from Asia.

Native American Wit and Wisdom: Words in the Wind
It all began in 1998 with Donald and Teresa Yates’s genealogy website “Lost Indian Tribes Southeast.” Fifteen years later, Panther’s Lodge, as the site was called, became a publisher of books about American Indians. The Big Little Book of Native American Wit and Wisdom, compiled by Anna Kolouthon was one of the first produced, and it was followed by an audiobook version narrated by Robert B. Rees. Now comes a video podcast hosted by Pete Ferrand with highlights like “Being Indian Is,” by J.C. High Eagle, Chief Two White Feather’s Advice, “Remarks on Native American Religion” and the Native American Ten Commandments. Special video footage includes an 1895 Sioux Buffalo Dance performance shot by William K.L. Dickson and part of the Shungopavi Buffalo Dance on January 16, 2009, taped by Hopi student Kelly Kessay.

Seeker
Wow! Gave me insight into aspects of Native history I knew nothing about. Good way to pique my interest. Wonder what the second segment will offer? Give me more.
Do not trust anything on this podcast
What an absolute garbage show. I was intrigued by the title and wanted to give it a listen, only to find that instead of an interesting history podcast, I was being subjected to nonsense claims being made about the Cherokee Nation by someone not only not affiliated with it, but also lacking in basic understanding of how science, DNA, and language works, purporting to “prove” geneticists wrong, and encouraging the racist notion that any white person who wants to can prove that they too are related to a Cherokee princess. There is not enough language in the world to express the level on my eyeroll.
One-of-a-kind science podcast
I listened to the first episode and found it very, very good. looking forward to the next one. There is no content like this anywhere else on the Internet. I may be wrong.
