Overview

""A 15,000-year conversation between evidentiary science and the unblinking memory of a continent."" Before the ""conquest"" and before the ""frontier,"" there was the arrival. Gathering Fire is the definitive story of the first peoples to enter the Americas-a sequence of understanding that tracks the ingenious strategies and enduring values that allowed for a successful 15,000-year migration and adaptation to a new world. In this modern work of scholarship, we move beyond the ""whitewash"" of traditional history by giving equal weight to tribal oral histories and scientific evidentiary data. Ben Potter, PhD, a leading anthropological archaeologist from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, ""sets the table"" with the latest archaeological analysis, while Indigenous voices provide the lived context of a culture that has never forgotten its origins. Gathering Fire is more than a history book; it is a dialogue between equals, reconstructing the ""Peopling of the Americas"" as an active, ongoing story of human consciousness and environmental integrity.
