About this product
The story of the North American indigenous peoples is a story of loss, hardship, violence, betrayal, and misappropriation. It is also a story of community, spirituality, diversity, honor, and resilience. Long before Christopher Columbus stepped foot on what would come to be known as the Americas, the expansive territory was inhabited by Indigenous people known as Native Americans. In this historical program, we discuss the colonization of North America and the founding of the United States along with the early discrimination against Native Americans. Native American Indians are a unique civilization with a rich ancestry stemming back over dozens of centuries. Their societies of tribes, nations and traditions once dominated American soil. Today, Native Indian Heritage is being reborn with ancient languages once again spoken, tradition and culture replenished and although scattered in reservations throughout the country, their heritage and culture continues. During the first half of the 19th century, the United States population witnessed a near five-fold expansion due to high birth rates and a rising tide of immigration from Europe. Westward migration exploded as Americans searched for new land and opportunities. The Native Indigenous were relocated to reservations (some of the most rural areas of the United States) and the tribes of the once dominant population of the United States were reduced to a handful of Indian Reserves. The importance of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses in Europe (not native to North and South America) became food and transportation and provided Native Indians with horses which changed their entire culture from farmers to hunters and gatherers. It has been over 500 years since Columbus made that fateful encounter with the natives of the new world. Despite all of the positive changes that have come for American Indians in the last half of the cent

A contemporary drama about a man (Hanks) who is isolated and forced to transform himself in order to survive both physically and emotionally.
Native American Indian women have been the foundation and spirit of their culture for centuries. Their role in the tribal communities not only assumed the more conventional matriarchal responsibilities within the tribe but also spearheaded the collection of materials and construction of homes for all members, an incredible feat especially given their era. The men revered these women as sources of life and fortitude, providing them with a sense of balance and harmony in their lives. In this program, we explore the lives, challenges, successes and accomplishments of several awe-inspiring Native American women from past and present times. These include the legendary Ponochantas, the revolutionary singer-songwriter and Academy Award winner, Buffy Sainte-Marie, as well as Deb Haaland - who etched her name in history by becoming the first Native American woman to hold office as US Secretary of Interior in 2021. Furthermore, we will shed light on numerous other powerful and influential Native American women who have left an indelible mark upon society. Featuring Susan LaFlesche Picotte (First Female American Indian Doctor), Lozen (Native Warrior), Pocahontas (Historic Native Personality), Deb Haaland (Congresswoman), Sharice Davids (Congresswoman), Buffy Sainte-Marie (Activist Musician, Composer, Academy Award Winner), Wilma Pearl Mankiller (First Female Indian Tribal Council Chief), Joy Harjo (US Poet Laureate), Quannah Chasinghorse Potts (Fashion Model), Nicole Mann (NASA Astronaut), Ashley Callingbull (Miss Universe), Deb Haaland (US Secretary of the Interior), Eloise P. Cobell (Activist), Matika Wilbur (Photographer/Author).
