AMERICA'S GREAT INDIAN LEADERS
Four stories of extraordinary courage. Four leaders who came forward, willing to die to preserve a way of life. As the 19th Century moved toward a close, Native American nations saw their rich heritage coming to an end. Advancing expansion, broken government promises, and hatred by the military establishment left them little land or territory. Four Native Americans emerged, not just to fight for territory, but to protect their people and culture. Crazy Horse, "Sacred Warrior of the Lakota," refused to bring his people into submission. Chief Joseph, "Guardian of the Nez Perce," led his people on a 1700 mile flight from the U.S. Army. Geronimo, "Brilliant Medicine Man of the Apaches," used his powers to vanish and reappear, confounding pursuers. Quanah Parker, "Last Chief of the Comanche" and son of a white woman, guided his people between two worlds, white and Indian. It's all here, a poignant, tragic episode in American History.
AMERICA'S GREAT INDIAN NATIONS
A moving story of six mighty Indian Nations and how their cultures and struggle became an important part of American History. The Iroquois - the most powerful of the eastern tribes, the Seminoles of Florida, who took freed slaves into their own nation, the Shawnee, whose Chief Tecumseh formed a great confederacy of eastern Indian tribes to protect their land, the Navajo of the southwest, who were led by their Chief Manuelito in an undeclared war against the U.S. Army, the Cheyenne of the Great Plains, who were victims of the savage Sand Creek massacre in 1864, and the Lakota Sioux, whose leaders led the momentous Battle of Little Big Horn. Rich Landscapes, dramatic reenactments, historical photographs and haunting music combine to make America's Great Indian Nations a compelling look inside six of the most powerful, feared and honored tribes throughout American history.
