ANCIENT SEA PEOPLES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC
Directed by Ted Timreck
Available for school and library collections: bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/aspon.html
From Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Ted Timreck, ANCIENT SEA PEOPLES OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC explores North Atlantic maritime cultures at the end of the last Ice Age, focusing on the ancient history of maritime adaptation in the Atlantic.
Covering decades of research, the film is a culminating story of the gradual discovery of this ocean adapted Native American civilization and the recognition that their cultural remains can extend out onto the now submerged continental shelf of the Atlantic Coast. The program places this indigenous culture in a Circumpolar context comparing their surprising sophistication with other ocean adapted peoples of the North Atlantic. The documented research with Native interpretation chronicles the slow but inexorable change in scientific thinking about culture, climate, and connection across the northern Circumpolar World that offers a new perspective on early Native American history.
