300 Indigenous People of the Americas

History | Registration opens 12/2/25 9:00 AM EST

Who were the indigenous people of what we call “the Americas”? Where did they come from? How did they get here? Why did they migrate here?

Wes Hibbert

Wes Hibbert grew up in Pennsylvania’s southeast corner Bucks County.  After high school he attended Kansas Wesleyan University and earned a BA, and then went to Aquinas College for graduate work.  Wes didn’t think his education was limited in anyway until he realized he knew very little about who originally inhabited North and South America, what they accomplished, how they managed to survive and what family life was like prior to 1492 and even later.
