Avatar

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic elderly man with grey hair in a long braid and a dark plaid shirt, seated at a desk of books in the avatar. Most thumbnails are rendered or painted historical scenes (face-painted warriors, battle paintings, an archival-style portrait); a braided elder appears in 2 of 10.

Format

One narrated Native American history story per video, about 8-16 min: a hook fact or question, a stock storyteller intro, then a numbered list of tribes or names, or one war told in order; ends with an on-screen QR code and description link to a book, plus an end-screen prompt.

Content pillars

• Tribe histories and rivalries: Apache, Comanche, Lakota, Cherokee, Tlingit
• Wars, raids and first contact, including Viking vs Native American
• What schools leave out: omitted and misremembered history
• Records, names and genealogy (1800s enrollment rolls)

Title patterns

• The Most [Feared/Powerful] Native [Tribe/Nation] in History — [Hook]
• [Tribe] [Terror/Hate] | The [Adjective] [War/Blood Feud] [Detail]
• The Native American [History/Lies] [They Cut / Every School Still Teaches]
• [N] [Last Names] Found in Native American Records From the 1800s (Is Yours One?)

Thumbnails

Mostly rendered or painted history scenes: face-painted warriors, battle paintings, an archival-style portrait, sometimes a braided elder, a document or a classroom. 3-5 words of bold caps in white or yellow at the top or bottom, with a red arrow or circle on some.

• Fast start: 12 uploads from Aug 29 to Sep 24 at a median gap of 2 days, each 12-17 min
• One offer path: every description has a book link near the top (skills book in the newest 7, history ebook before); both caption closes prompt a QR code
• A fixed storyteller brand: the same name-and-'old accounts' intro recurs in all 14 descriptions and both caption excerpts
