We received 6 new DVDs pertaining to Native Americans. They are: We Shall Remain: America Through Native Eyes (part of PBS and the American Experience). This three part series tells the long history of Native Americans through their own words, photographs and re-enactments. Heartbreaking and Inspiring.
The Trail of Tears: Cherokee Legacy is a documentary narrated by James Earl Jones and endorsed by the Cherokee Nation. Thousands of Cherokees died on their forced march in 1838. They arrived in "Indian Territory" with few children and fewer elders.
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was produced by HBO and tells the story of the Sioux triumph over General Custer and some consequences. Beautifully written and acted.
Finally, Smoke Signals is a modern comedy written by and starring Native Americans . This movie . It is based on several stories by Sherman Alexie.
