Discover the forgotten story of how one of North America’s greatest civilizations — the Mississippians — transformed early Canadian societies long before Europeans arrived.

In this 1 hour 3-minute deep-dive, we explore how Mississippian trade networks, advanced agriculture, ceremonial practices, and continent-wide connections reshaped the cultures of ancient Ontario, Quebec, and the Great Lakes region.

From the rise of large fortified villages to the spread of the legendary “Three Sisters” farming system, this episode reveals the real story of how ideas, goods, symbols, and beliefs traveled thousands of miles and changed the course of northern Indigenous history.
