Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery. Journey with author Nathaniel Jeanson through the native ruins and heritage sites of pre-colonization America as you unpack who the first Americans were and where they came from.

At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee? With color charts, maps, and diagrams, dig into the evidence that explores the migration of these people groups across the 4,000 years of human history.

They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.

• Group and individual study
• Church libraries
