Details
Unlock the Hidden History of America!
Before the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod, what was happening in North America? Who was there? What civilizations rose and fell? For years, the answers to these questions have been shrouded in mystery.
At the time of European contact, a diverse world of Native peoples thrived across the continent. What was their backstory? Who were the ancestors of the Sioux? Where did the Navajo come from? What about the Apache, the Comanche, the Cherokee?
They Had Names is the result of a multi-year deep dive into genetics, indigenous histories, archaeology, and linguistics—an ambitious quest to uncover answers to these questions.
In this book, you will explore pre-Columbian links between civilizations of the Old World and civilizations of the New. You’ll read about unexpected connections between Mexico and tribes north of the Rio Grande. You’ll also discover that ancient ruins from North American civilizations still exist, that these ruins tell dramatic stories, and that they can still be visited today.
On this continent, peoples and kingdoms rose and fell, great battles were fought, heroes were enshrined—heroes whose names have been preserved.
Book includes link to interactive map and other supplemental materials.

Testimonials
“
This book represents a watershed moment in the creation-evolution debate. Creation scientists are now taking the lead in solving centuries-old scientific and historical mysteries. You’ll be blown away and encouraged by how the true history in God’s Word, combined with modern scientific techniques, is unshrouding history.

Who were the first Americans? Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson is on a mission to find out. His visits to Native American historical sites draws readers into a world of mystery where many times we’ve had more questions than answers. He then masterfully begins to answer those questions by showing how genetics confirms early accounts of Native American history. His level of discernment, attention to detail, and voluminous research in both indigenous history and genetics combine to provide a foundation for discovering the identity of the first Americans.

As a Cayuga nation member, Iroquois six nations, I have never come across a more clear and concise way of beginning to tell the story of Native American history. I’m thankful to God for the work Dr. Jeanson has done to start telling the true story of how Native America came about.
”“
The author has indeed written a spectacular new and revised history of North American Indians, of the numerous Tribal Nations’ origins and migration theories. There are definitely bridges between many great civilizations such as the Aztecs, the Longhouse Peoples and the Mound Builders, based upon their histories such as the Red Record and linguistic ties, as well as, new scientific methods of tracing Y- Chromosome of DNA.
”“
Prior to my full introduction to the Bible recently, I’m sure I would have discounted the timeline offered in the book. My new belief in the young earth theory makes the information here more relevant and answers a few other questions I had. By using DNA and linguistics Dr Jeanson was able to paint, for me, a better picture of the past.
”“
For many Native Americans, our own history is a mystery to us, yes we have traditional stories of our migration to our heartland, but to translate those stories to current maps & timelines has not been composed in a way that is honest, respectful, and interesting—as Jeanson has been able to accomplish.
”“
…a remarkable historical reference not only for Indigenous peoples curious about the history of Turtle Island and when they arrived here but also for those who seek to understand the true historical migration of the peoples of this land…
”“
This book does what few before can claim: returns Native American histories to their owners, unifies the diverse Nations’ stories across the continent, and offers a humble, yet thrilling, connection to the entire world.
”“
…a paradigm breaking, mind bending book!... Jeanson is a scientist and scholar with a huge curiosity and the gift of quickly learning outside of his core discipline of molecular biology.
”“
Jeanson performed thorough research to present the true history of the Native peoples, encompassing historical, linguistic, ethnographic and linguistic evidence. Jeanson’s book intriguingly traces the movement of various Native tribes across the Americas. It is much like reading a detective novel. This book fills in a knowledge gap in the creation science literature.
