Embark on an archaeological adventure as Dr. Thomas Guderjan takes us beneath the surface of East Texas to reveal a history rich with the legacies of the Caddo Indians, French explorers, and Spanish conquistadors. In our latest episode, we uncover the secrets of the Gallant Farm in West Nacogdoches County, an enigmatic site that whispers tales of colonial coexistence and cultural entanglement. Our journey through the dense woodlands unearths the challenges of preservation, while the Caddo Mount State Historic Site stands as a vibrant educational symbol of the enduring Caddo spirit.
Step into the world of Native American legacy where East Texas's soil is imprinted with the footsteps of the Caddo people. We weave through opportunities for you, our listeners, to engage with the past—from international archaeological programs to local field schools—and encourage artifact finders to connect with experts, contributing to the historical mosaic of the region. Through vivid personal reflections, we embrace the Caddo's artistic excellence, their journey in language revitalization, and the indelible mark their history has etched upon my own identity. Listen and honor the living descendants of a culture that continues to enrich our understanding of America's diverse heritage.
