When the massacre at Wounded Knee succeeded in finally closing America’s western frontier, it also closed the book on nearly 300 years of hostilities and atrocities against America’s original inhabitants. This classic two-part series uses expert analysis, reenactments, maps, period illustrations, and archival photos and film to document the history of the conquest of the U.S. from a Native American point of view—and the cultural persecution that has persisted since the guns and bugles fell silent. 2-part series, 50 minutes each.
