| |  | History of Native Americans, A |
|  | | |  More than 300 different Native American tribes had common beliefs, traditions and experiences, and in many ways their history is a shared experience. This program examines the impact of European colonization on Native American tribes, including co-existence and trade, the struggles over land ownership and the effects of European imports like guns, horses, alcohol, religion and disease. It also covers the policies of the U.S. government, the forced removal of Indians in the Trail of Tears, the Indian Removal Act and the Indian boarding schools that diluted tribal cultures and shared beliefs. Today, all of the tribes face a similar, ongoing struggle to maintain their culture, language and traditions in the modern world. Part of the multivolume Indians of North America Video Collection. |
