America before Columbus

                                    America before Columbus                                            

 Sounds like it’s going to be about people indigenous to North America doesn’t it.  And it is. But it’s focus is actually on the environment… the land, water, animals, and plants. What it was like in both North and South America – as well as in Europe – prior to Columbus ‘discovering’ the new world.  I found this program to be fascinating. Some of my historical truths were shattered…and some were validated. National Geographic tells this story with the vision of the hawk (the big picture)  –  and with the focus of the mouse (the details).

The viewer is then left with the question –  What can be done  to change our future?

…….If we do not  learn from history – we are doomed to repeat it…….
