Sacred Lands, White Man’s Laws

In the middle of a university campus in California lies a sacred site for traditional Native worship, where ceremonies have taken place for generations, and the age-old creation story of the Tongva people originated. The university intends to build a shopping mall on the sacred site, while the Indian people are determined to stop them, using ancient ceremonies and prayers to their ancestors to help them win a complex legal battle. The program also offers an exciting view of the traditional style of ‘opelu fishing from above and beneath the crystal blue waters of Hawaii. (60 minutes)
