Part of the "Odyssey Series: American Indian Collection," this historical documentary depicts the lifestyles of several tribes of Native Americans, including the Navajo nation in Arizona and New Mexico, the Lummi tribe in Washington state and the Onondaga in New York, as they try to adapt to modern life while maintaining their cultural heritage. Interviews with tribal members provide an overview of the growing concerns of the Onondaga, Navajo, and Lummi, revealing that they maintain a wary co-existence with the larger American society. The program documents external and internal forces that threaten their national sovereignty. A brief history of political activism features archival footage as well as more in-depth examinations of how Indian institutions are designed to resist outside solutions to internal strife.
