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)
