Description
Program I: Great Indian Leaders.
This award-winning program etches vivid portraits of four extraordinary figures who were willing to die to preserve their way of life. Crazy Horse refused to bring the Lakota people into submission. Chief Joseph led the Nez Perce on a 1,700 mile flight from the United States Army. Geronimo, of the Apaches, used his powers to confound pursuers. Quanah Parker, "Last Chief of the Comanche," and son of a white woman, guided his people between two worlds. This is the poignant and tragic story of the end of the American Indians' way of life and freedom.
Program II: Great Indian Nations.
The award-winning program tells the moving story of six mighty Indian nations; The Iroquois, the most powerful of the eastern tribes, the Seminoles of Florida, the Shawnee, whose Chief Tecumseh formed a confederation of eastern tribes to protect their land, the Navajo of the southwest, the Cheyenne of the Great Plains and the Lakota/Sioux.
