The Lost People of the Baja
The Pericu of Baja California, Mexico
| Length: | 45 min |
| Released: | 2009 |
Canadian paleo-pathologist Eldon Molto leads the search for clues of the mysterious Pericu people of Baja California, Mexico—a fierce, independent tribe that disappeared more than a century ago after exposure to European disease. But using DNA to analyze their bones, Molto pieces together the story of the Pericu and makes a surprising discovery about these vanished people’s still-living descendants.

"This very well-done film from The Adventurers series shows how physical anthropology can be applied to both historical problems, like the life, ways, and genetic survival of a 'lost' society, and to modern problems like solving crimes, identifying remains, and answering questions about identity."
