This documentary profiles six of the major Native American tribes that were defeated and subdued as part of the settling of the United States.
With reenactments, clarifying maps, artwork, and landscape scenery, this program features the Iroquois, a confederacy comprised of several Indian tribes: the Seminoles in Florida, who welcomed escaped slaves and fought three major wars with the United States before meeting their ultimate defeat; the Shawnee, fierce Ohio Algonquians who allied with the French against the British; the Navajo, a farming people who today are the largest remaining Native American tribe; the Cheyenne, a nomadic Plains Indian tribe that depended on the American bison for sustenance; and the Lakota Sioux, the dominant Sioux tribe comprised of the bands called Oglala, Brule, Hunkpapa, and Minneconjou.

This is the story of how Blacks and Natives band together to survive in America.

Sooner or later, people approach me and want to know my family past. I am made up of many peoples but the main branches of my past shows that I am Cherokee and some Western Africans (from Benin, Togo, and Nigeria).

When I person leaves Africa and for generations live in France, are they africans or Frenchmen? They are Frenchmen. In America, an indian once leaves the reservation is Black or White. They are Americans but does not belong to any previos group of people. They way as American expands westard into the Pacific, Asia, and the middle east, the defeated people that they left behind cannot organize against the Federal Government.
