E-raamat: From the Red Record to the Red Path: The Story of an Ancient Migration

This story of ancient America was written to illuminate the significance of a very ancient American history, to clarify the existence of a precolonial history of the people in this region of the world. It is a long-overlooked subject that has been demeaned and trivialized since the very beginning of contact between Europeans and North America.This writing adds story as well as history to a symbolic record written, beginning thousands of years ago, known as the Red Record or Wallam Olum. It is the Red Record of the Red Path into North America. This story includes an overland migration of the same people that would become known as the Cree. Their story has been long overlooked.This route led them south on the Mackenzie River from the Northwest Territories, into the Central Canadian prairie provinces. This migration route would become the northern Cree migration.The Lenni Lenape route over the coastal ranges down to the northwest coast of North America. This route was a war-filled passage that led them south to the Columbia River. The Lenape took this route into what would become the northern United States.This story begins in the primordial mists of time. It will take the reader through landscapes of time and disappearing worlds. There, then, would be an ancient march into the present with many trials and tribulations. It is an epic that must be read.Due respect should be given to David McCutchen, the translator and author of the annotated version of the Red Record, a.k.a. the Wallam Olum.
