Tamara Thompson

So the integrity thing fell through.

Then this feeling happened again last year.

I was literally like, this woman approached me.

And I was like, oh, this feels like that.

Right.

Back this thing that happened in 2017.

Yeah.

And all of a sudden I was like, no, no, no, no, no.

Glad I said no.

After I said no.

The next week, this woman launched a book.

Guess who she co-hosted it with?

The gentleman from 2017.

I was like, whoa, that intuition like plays into, no, you know, like crazy stuff happens.

Over the last several years, the Wisconsin Historical Society says it's found a total of 16 ancient canoes lurking at the bottom of Lake Mendota in south-central Wisconsin.

Tamara Thompson is a maritime archaeologist who helped lead those discoveries.

She suspects that, for millennia, Indigenous people returned to that section of the lake.

She says they may have been stashing their boats for later by burying them under sediment near the shoreline.

What we're seeing really is a parking lot.

The cluster of canoes includes a red oak vessel discovered earlier this year.
