Every Native American Tribe Explained in 22 minutes

Before Europeans arrived, 100 million people lived in the Americas. They built cities, democracies, and trade networks spanning continents—then 90% of them died in just 100 years. In this breakdown, we explore what happened to every major Native American tribe and find out what they are doing today. We look at the "genius power move" of the Iroquois Confederacy that influenced the US Constitution, the "unconquered" Seminoles of the Everglades, and how the Navajo helped win World War II with an unbreakable code. This is the story of national identity, survival, and the 500-year struggle for human rights.
