Forgotten Peoples covers the human cultures that disappeared, peoples who survived for thousands of years before contact, disease, colonization, or time erased them.

The Lucayans were gone within 25 years of Columbus. The Timucua went from 200,000 people to functionally extinct in 150 years. The Calusa, the Tequesta, the Taíno, the Beothuk, all of them disappeared through the same pattern: disease first, then enslavement or displacement, then the deliberate erasure of everything that remained.

The channel goes further back too, Paleo-Indians hunting mastodons on a continent now underwater, Neolithic cultures that built massive civilizations before Egypt, and the earliest humans who walked a world we barely recognize, including Homo naledi and the Denisovans.

Research-driven. One forgotten people at a time.
