Moon‑Eyed People: The Cherokee Legend That Became Propaganda

Was the legend of the Moon-Eyed People just Cherokee folklore—or one of the most effective pieces of propaganda in American history? This video explores the eerie tale of pale-skinned, blue-eyed beings said to have lived in the Appalachian Mountains before both European settlers and Native American tribes. Some claimed they were descendants of Welsh explorers, others thought they were victims of war—or even something otherworldly. But what happens when a myth is repurposed to justify conquest, erase Indigenous achievements, and reshape national identity? In this episode, we dig deep into the origins and evolution of the Moon-Eyed People legend—from Cherokee oral traditions and the Prince Madoc theory, to Fort Mountain's mysterious ruins and the sprawling metropolis of Cahokia. You'll learn how the story was twisted and weaponized during colonial expansion and why modern archaeology and genetics paint a very different picture. Was this just legend, or calculated political narrative? If you enjoy ancient myths, folklore, and exploring how stories are used to shape power and perception, you’re in the right place. This channel unpacks mythology through the lenses of psychology, symbolism, and history—revealing what these stories really say about us. 📚 Sources include: Cherokee oral history, 18th-century colonial accounts, and archaeological research from Fort Mountain and Cahokia.
