Is that Mohican, or are we making up words?

Dani McKenzie

It got me to download the app to try. :-)

Extra History

Wark!

I am actually a big believer in value-add types of advertising, especially for smaller scale projects, and have been known to go on rants about it... but I won't today. Suffice to say that it makes me happy, too!

I love these sponsored series. It's not just that we get more Extra History, though that is of course a draw—I also like that some people are looking at this kind of thing as a viable method of marketing. If companies were willing to spend less on banner ads and more on tangential advertising, I think the world would be a better place.

Svennie

Kwe. ;)

Extra History

We like you too!

Matteo Cina

You're good, I like you guys

Extra History

Hope you'll enjoy this one, then!

Extra History

Okay, this time it posted! But yes, broad ideas are perfectly fine for your topic suggestion. Word to the wise: the next topic suggestion will be on or around September 9, so if you want to delay your $10 pledge until the beginning of September, I won't judge! -Soraya

Quick test - are replies broken? I tried answering your question 10 minutes ago but it didn't seem to post.

Jordan Clunn

This is fantastic! I've always wanted my knowledge of the Iroquois to be tested.

Matteo Cina

Hey Extra Credit, quick question. I just became a $10 donor and, in regards to suggesting topics for the raffle, is it just a broad idea like "Italian War of Unification" or do I have to be like, "Italian War of Unification, Garibaldi, 1870"

Extra History

We're only going to be talking about the formation of the Confederacy, so this one will be a story about peace. If I'd had a little more time in the episodes, I would have mentioned lacrosse in passing, but no, it doesn't come up here!

Will you be going in to deatail about the relationship between the Iroquois and Huron? I find it fascinating how most history books paint this picture of all Native American as peaceful people when in fact some tribes were quite hostile. The Iroquois annihilated a tribe because they lost a lacrosse match. Will you be mentioning how much the sport played a roll in their society?

Extra History

Haha, no, you were correct!

Parker

You saying that took a lot of pressure of my shoulders. After I wrote that I was afraid that it was going to be Indian (from India) or Eastern African just because I called it out then I would look like a fool. I'm lucky like that.

Extra History

You are more or less correct! Hiawatha will be the titular character here, but the Peacemaker and Jigonsaseh are his co-stars, and the formation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy is the plot.

Extra History

I will admit, the fact that this was one of the topics they suggested played a definite role in my wanting to jump on it. Sometimes, sponsored episodes let us skip the queue a bit to cover topics that haven't otherwise wound up on our schedule.

Valerie Hofer

Belated, but I'll take it. I'm so glad developers are doing these.

Extra History

Happy Birthday! Wait, is that right?

Marco Honrade

Cool, we are getting a Native American miniseries. Woefully underrepresented in World History let alone US history and even modern day American culture. It looks a scene with Hiawatha, Jigonhsasee and Dekanawida, the Great Peacemaker. I'm guessing it will about unification of the 5 tribes of New York into Iroquois Confederacy.
