FYI yes this is a really good advice. If you are not a US citizen do not cross the border for anything you may not return home unfortunately that means I’m not giving any lectures of presentations in the USA in the foreseeable future.

Archaeologist Paulette Steeves is working to rewrite global human history for Indigenous people | Walking with Ancients Recently discovered evidence is changing the story of when humans arrived in the Americas. Steeves isn’t surprised: she believes Indigenous people have been here for more than 100,000 years.

There’s nothing as pleasing as growing your own food and eating it right out of the garden

Humans could have arrived in the Western Hemisphere earlier than we thought Indigenous archeologist Paulette Steeves shows us how an ancient world could have been more complex and more populated than we imagined

Link to an article and map of my Pleistocene-aged sites in the Americas 11,200 -300,000 years before the present. :) canadiangeographic.ca/articles/map...
