Indigenous Series: Remember Who You Are

Tonight on the Remember Who You Are Indigenous Series, we explore James Adair's groundbreaking 1775 work, The History of the American Indians — one of the most significant and controversial books ever written about the Indigenous peoples of the southeastern United States. Adair was an Irish-born trader who lived among the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Catawba nations for nearly 40 years, from 1735 to 1768, traversing the territory from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. His firsthand observations produced what many modern scholars consider the most detailed and valuable primary account of southeastern Indigenous cultures from the 18th century. What makes this book so fascinating — and so relevant to our series — is Adair's central thesis: that the Indigenous peoples of America are descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel. He presents 23 detailed arguments comparing Indigenous customs, religious practices, language, and rituals to those of the ancient Hebrews. While mainstream academia has largely dismissed this thesis, the cultural evidence Adair documented — covering gender roles, religion, warfare, marriage customs, language, and ritual purity — remains an extraordinary record that continues to fuel important conversations about Indigenous identity and origins. Perhaps most telling: American colleges refused to allow this book into their institutions for over 150 years. It was published in London in 1775 but didn't make it into U.S. academic settings until the 1930s. What didn't they want students to know? Join us as we dig into what Adair saw, what he recorded, and why this book still matters today. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
