- Summary:
- Did you know that a seafaring American tribe explored the Eastern shores of North America, and maybe more, over 7000 years ago? Or that these ancient Americans rivaled their European contemporaries in navigational skills, millennia before the Vikings? The Mystery of the Lost Red Paint People follows U.S., Canadian, and European scientists, researching from the barrens of Labrador-where archaeologists uncover an ancient stone burial mound-to sites in the U.S., France, England, and Denmark, and in the fjords of northernmost Norway, where monumental standing stones suggest links among seafaring cultures across immense distances. This film represents the earliest presentation, in any medium, to synthesize these new discoveries and attempts to draw a picture of these northeastern sea peoples who lived during what archaeologists refer to as the Maritime Archaic period.
