The First World Map
Throughout history, maps and charts have captivated individuals. From ancient civilizations etching maps on clay to the creation of the atlas, the art of cartography has steered explorers, sailors, and warriors. Early societies and the Greeks played a role in the evolution of maps. European expansion commenced in the 8th century BC with the founding of colonies. Homer's Odyssey offered a glimpse into the familiar world of the Mediterranean. Seafarers such as the Phoenicians ventured beyond the Mediterranean, reaching distant lands. The ship has served as a crucial instrument for exploration for millennia. Ancient maritime wisdom has vanished. The South Sea islanders sail without compasses or charts. Arabian seafarers navigate solely by the stars. The Vikings navigated without maps and accomplished significant explorations. The Vikings raided Western Europe and the Iberian Peninsula before establishing new empires. They were the first Europeans to cross the North Atlantic and settle in Iceland, Greenland, and possibly as far as New England. The Vinland Map, illustrating the Viking's journey across the Atlantic, is suspected to be a forgery. During the Middle Ages, geographical knowledge was restricted and influenced by religious convictions. Venetians, surrounded by the sea, were adept navigators and initiated global exploration. Marco Polo's factual narrative of his travels to China became widely recognized.

Our Native American Brothers and Sisters
The era of Native American boarding schools represents a dark period in American history, characterized by the policy of assimilation. The goal was to eradicate all aspects of native culture. The infamous motto was to 'kill the Indian and save the man'. Native children made desperate attempts to flee from these institutions, often left confused about their own identities. They were forced to conform to Anglo standards (British led) and others coming from Mainland Europe, with their hair long dark cut especially the young females which goes against their native customs and beliefs, and traditional clothing such as animal skin, fiber, and woven cotton was replaced by unknown European military-style uniforms. The impact of European explorers on Native American life was profound, ill, and unwelcome by far and large, leading to a shift in governance and cultural practices which were vanishing by every passing week. Richard Henry Pratt's assimilation ideology paved the way for the establishment of harsh Indian boarding schools, such as Carlisle in Pennsylvania, Haskell in Kansas, and Sherman in California.

The Lost Ancient Red-Paint People
The search for the secrets of the vanished red-paint civilization continues. Unearthing clues in Maine and Labrador sheds light on ancient societies in North America. The ancient culture near the Arctic Circle challenges preconceived notions about Native American history. Speculations by antiquarians on the origins of ancient stone ruins and mounds in America led to theories of a lost civilization. Historian Hamlin proposed that these ruins could have been constructed by Europeans before Columbus, potentially the Lost Colony of the Vikings. In the 19th century, antiquarians developed theories about an advanced civilization in America based on the sophisticated mound builders. Moorhead's discoveries and hypotheses significantly influenced the understanding of the red-paint people. Despite the absence of skeletal evidence, Moorhead's findings contributed to the acknowledgment of a highly developed culture. His prediction of long-distance trade was eventually validated with the uncovering of the stone source in Rama Bay. The rediscovery of artifacts belonging to the Red Paint People in Maine, particularly at the Nevin site in Blue Hill Bay, showcased bone artifacts embellished with intricate geometric patterns.
