This film presents a 40 year chronicle of research by Smithsonian scientists, whose work uncovered one of America’s most surprising anthropological mysteries: the story of the early ocean-adapted, Native American civilization that once existed along the now submerged Atlantic coastlines of North America, going back to the last Ice Age. The story, offered with a Native American perspective, places this discovery in the context of the world’s poorly understood, pre-Neolithic maritime revolution and shows how the oceans and their changing environments have shaped the development of cultures over millennia.

The 2019 National Geographic documentary, “Expedition Amelia,” focused on the work of Robert Ballard and his high-tech undersea search around Nikumaroro Island for the Lockheed Electra airplane piloted by Amelia Earhart, who disappeared in 1937 during her attempt to fly around the world. The TV presentation made reference to the terrestrial research that took place simultaneously on the island, but the emphasis clearly was on Ballard, famously the man who located the Titanic. One person who participated in many parts of the 2019 fieldwork was Dr. Jaime Bach. In her Keynote Address, Dr. Bach will share her observations on what actually took place during that expedition and what we have learned from it.
