“At first glance, the wide sloping field off the western shores of Lake Winnipeg looks like a death metal convention gone very very wrong” — the words this episode of Nat Geo Digital Nomad Robert Reid. He’s reporting from the Viking battle reenactment of Gimli, Manitoba’s annual Icelandic Festival — one of the longest running cultural festivals in North America. In this episode, we explore deep into that Viking heart of New Iceland — From Gimli, to Mountain, North Dakota. Two towns divided by a border, but inextricably linked by their surprising and storied Icelandic roots.

Former National Geographic Explorer and anthropologist Wade Davis calls language the old growth forest of the mind. In other words, language and how we know ourselves within our culture and our people are inextricably linked. And there are few places on the planet where these links are more palpable than Quebec. Still many of my American friends and colleagues just don’t “get” the notion of our two official languages. How it happened and why it stuck. To shed light on that confusion, we send two midwestern journalists, without a lick of French, deep into rural French-speaking Quebec. Food Travelists Sue Reddel and Diana Laskaris have one mission — to ask one big question: Why does Canada have these two official languages and how does that define you as Quebecois? The answers are not always simple, but quest itself is a journey of transformation.

African American roots reaching back to before the American Revolution, the underground railroad and slavery, and gospel traditions almost 200 years old. Think you have a hunch where North Americana is going this episode? You might be surprised. Twenty minutes drive due east of downtown Halifax, on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, over the MacDonald Bridge through Dartmouth and beyond, we find North Preston and some of Nova Scotia’s oldest music traditions. Visitors might expect to hear the lilt of a celtic fiddle, but this is something entirely different. In this episode, we explore the rich and often surprising stories of shared Black history north and south of the Canada/US border.

Say “Summer of Love” and so many images come to mind — “far out” lingo, tie dye and flower power, San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district, the Human Be-In at Golden Gate Park where you’d sway to local bands like the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. But for a time and place that changed a generation, it’s amazing just how fleeting all this was. From what seemed like endless possibilities for 30,000 or so hippies converging on San Francisco, to total collapse in about 10 months. All amid intense political discord over the Vietnam war, heated civil rights battles and what devolved into hard drug abuse. American sociologist, political writer, novelist, and cultural commentator Tod Gitlin called all this a cyclone in a wind tunnel. In other words, too volatile not to self destruct. But what if you took this cyclone of hippie spiritual seekers and draft dodgers out of the charged American wind tunnel of political and racial strife at the time. And what if you transplanted a piece of it into a remote idyllic British Columbian town — what would all this look like some 50 years later?

Think the explorers or the voyageurs opened up North America, finding trade and travel routes? Do you imagine regional indigenous peoples once living in idyllic isolation? Think again. With the help of National Geographic Travel Media Editor Norie Quintos, North Americana explores the massive crossroads of pre-contact North America. Northern Ontario’s Manitoulin Island is a fascinating portal to the Great Lakes first peoples, and their ancient axis across which trade, people and ideas flowed from the far north to the Gulf of Mexico to the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast. And all this millennia before Christopher Columbus. In this episode, meet the Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes flowing across the Canada US border. Hear their fascinating stories on their own terms. Like our host Liz Beatty, you’ll be forever changed.
