Civilization

With the closing of the western frontier began the new Indian Wars: the systematic cultural persecution of the Native Americans. This program documents the struggle of the scattered indigenous nations to reclaim and retain their language, history, and identity in the face of historical revisionism, coercive evangelism, and forcible assimilation. Indian rights advocate Vine Deloria, Jr.; members of the Oglala, Hunkpapa, and Sans Arc Sioux; and others describe the misguided practices, unscrupulous dealings, and outright cruelties of the United States against them and their peoples—and reveal an indomitable will to be who they are.
