The First Adirondackers | Curiously Adirondack

Follow along as scientists make eye-opening discoveries about pre-colonial Indigenous populations in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Working diligently to challenge the idea that Indigenous people are relative newcomers to the Adirondacks, these researchers use sediment cores from lakes in the region and artifacts found on high ground to reveal a different timeline. Their discoveries support what John Fadden and his family, of the Six Nations Indian Museum in Onchiota, New York, have been telling those who would listen for years: that humans arrived in the Adirondacks at the end of the last Ice Age, and some of their descendants are still here.
