  1. The video could be corrected by saying that the Hudson Bay was discovered by Henry Hudson FOR Europeans for the first time in 1610. Native Americans had known about Hudson Bay for probably thousands of years already. Contemporary history always gets that wording wrong.

  3. @gridmanone. This is best explanation I could find for the origin of the name of the Niger River is below. I get the sense that you didn't even bother to research this subject which is too bad though maybe you have since your post. At any rate in other words the name origin is uncertain. So get over yourself. "Unknown (possibly from Berber for River Gher or local Tuareg word n-igereouen meaning "big rivers"[1]) Or it may be a direct translation by Leo Africanus from Arabic bilād as-sūdān (بلاد السودان) "Land of the Blacks", into Latin (Niger "black")". from Wikipedia
