Show Notes

Playing a wild, hands-on game of football or singing along to well-known songs with a crowd as you watch your favorite drummer play, or gathering with family for clam bakes and bonfires as you dig your toes into the smooth sand of the New England beaches - do these things sound like what you or other young people today might do for fun? 

Can you believe that they originated with the Native Americans hundreds and even thousands of years ago?  Today we get to go back in time, jumping into the early 1600’s, before any permanent English settlements had been built.  We’ll fly over the Eastern Coast of North America with a momma duck and imagine what the lives of the thriving indigenous peoples looked like; and we might just catch a glimpse of Squanto and Pocahontas when they were little!
