- A one-hour documentary about the Great Kanawha River in West Virginia, USA, from prehistoric to modern times. It portrays the significance of a river that helped shape American history and create modern America. And it honors those who chose river life and work, and the love they have for their craft and the rivers that sustains them.
What ya wanna know I live along the kanawah river. It’s beautiful in places
I've swam in that river.
That makes two of us my friend
I fell in that river and was rescued!
I've fished in that river.
@@darthchaos5966 My dad did too. He built a small dock near the river and I sat with him watching him fish. I miss that and dangling my bare feet in the river.
Very large river
The way the Indian woman describes the attacks her ancestors attempted against the 'invading white aliens' is exactly how they got that land in the first place. What we know aa native Americans today were not the original land occupiers in North America. The evidence is continuously being unearthed, literally. The history of our land is greatly faded into the psst but archeology is revealing some, slowly. At present, it seems the likelihood of ever knowing substantial facts about those peoples is going to be near impossible ax they were either eliminated entirely or entirely assimilated without carrying forward any lore.
We are simply the current occupiers and as impossible as it would seem, eventually something new will happen here if life continues for centuries into the future. The difference, most likely, is we will leave ample evidence of our history. Unless our end is worldwide & catastrophic. Or the 2nd reign of Jesus begins.

I've lived near the Kanawha River all of my life. Been swimming in it, fell in it, tried to water ski on it, and can't imagine not living near it. I sat with my feet dangling in it, when my dad was fishing from a ramp he made. This river is a thing of beauty when it's calm. One of my most favorite things as a child was to see the multicolored lights reflected at night on this river. Still is.❤ Both my mom's maternal and fraternal lines are connected to the Kanawha River which is quite awesome.
This was a great video. We drove down the Gauley River to the New River and all the way to Charleston. Hope to drive the rest of the Kanawha to the Ohio someday. Wish more documentaries were like this.
