  • Big ups to this one! My favorite videos are on the Calusa in Florida and the nations of the PNW. These are both high-quality materialist history that demonstrate how fundamentally divergent some North American societies were from the old world developmental path. Both of these built complex class societies with only marginal use of agriculture, instead developing marine/freshwater resources to the point that they achieved the material abundance necessary for higher levels of social organization. It’s absolutely fascinating stuff and has no real parallels outside of North America that I’m aware of.
