BEFORE COLUMBUS: NATIVE AMERICANS TELL THEIR OWN STORY (6 PART SERIES)
We are taught about Columbus’s "discovery" of the "New
World," about "America" and its "Indian" populations.
But this hemisphere was inhabited long before Columbus by peoples who did
not call their lands after a European cartographer or themselves after the
Spice Islands in southeast Asia. This series of programs presents the other
side of the "discovery" saga as the native peoples of the Americas
tell their own story of the destruction of their culture and their lands and
of their growing efforts to fight back. It is a one-sided story as they tell
it—for the first time, the other side of the one-sided story the history
texts tell. 6-part series, 23-30 minutes each. (INCLUDES: Invasion - The
Right to Their Own Lands - Temples into Churches - Teaching Indians to be
White - Rebellion - The Indian Experience in the 20th Century)
