Welcome To Tribal Impressions in depth selection of Native American history and documentaries on DVD. I have to tell you and you will certainly agree with me that the history books are distorted and have it wrong after you watch some of this material. The first two series in this section tell you the history of Americana from the eyes of Native American Indians, not white man. History books often portray the Native American as an uncivilized band of blood hungry killers but the fact remains that Native Americans had great civilations and great cities in the United States long before Europeans ever came to America. Native Americans, at first; welcomed the people from across the sea in peace until these foreigners decided to steal their lands. True history will show that Native Americans were a very peaceful people and it was the white man who repeatedly forced Native Americans on to smaller and smaller tracks of land then broke about every agreement and treaty that was made. These first two series, We Shall Remain and 500 Nations are a great contribution to the real history of the United States and by watching them, you will understand the popular slogan that Native American people have been fighting terrorism since 1492. You will find some sample videos from these two series displayed below. The first video right below that titled Black Americans An American Story is also a story generally left out of white man's history books.

We Shall Remain (DVD)
American Experience
Five Part Series
They were charismatic and forward thinking, imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute, and, at times, arrogant, vengeful, and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native American leaders from Massasoit, Tecumseh, and Tenskwatawa, to Major Ridge, Geronimo, and Fools Crow, valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture. Sometimes, their strategies were militaristic, but more often they were diplomatic, spiritual, legal, and political. From PBS s acclaimed history series, American Experience, in association with Native American Public Telecommunications, We Shall Remain establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. These five documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective, upending two-dimensional stereotypes of American Indians as simply ferocious warriors or peaceable lovers of the land.

500 Nations (DVD) Series
Hosted By Kevin Costner
500 Nations is an eight-part documentary on four discs that looks back at life in North America before the arrival of the Europeans. It follows the struggles of the Indian Nations as the continent is reshaped by this contact. The series opens with the tragic events at Wounded Knee in 1890, then travels back to the pre-Columbian continent. The final disc concludes with the U.S. government’s attack on native ways resulting in the disbanding of communal lands. The Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889 grabs up remnant land given decades before to tribes as a perpetual home. The stunning box set comes with a booklet with each chapter listed for easy reference. The booklet as well as the box set itself are full of beautiful color illustrations as well. A CD-ROM comes with the set and also has numerous graphics and inter-active slide shows. Hosted by Kevin Costner, this is the best and most comprehensive documentary on Indian history ever produced. Region one. Closed Captioned.
The story of the Black Indian brings to light a forgotten part of American history. The cultural and racial fusion of Native and African Americans is discussed with a number of individuals whose lives have been affected by their blended backgrounds including historians from different universities who are all Black Indians themselves. The history of the European invasion and the role of the Native population is revealed with paintings, photographs and documents. The devastation and obliteration of the identity of both groups is unraveled in this very moving and well produced documentary narrated by James Earl Jones. It explores what brought the two groups together, what drove them apart and the challenges that they face today.

Geronimo and the Apache Resistance (DVD) $23.95
It was said that Geronimo, the legendary Apache, had magical power–that he could see into the future, walk without creating footprints, even hold off the dawn to protect his own forces.
In 1886, the United States government mobilized 5,000 men–nearly one quarter of the entire US Army–to capture Geronimo and his band of 39 followers. For decades, these Apaches had resisted the advance of pioneers and other threats to their traditional way of life, fighting attempts by the federal government to confine them to reservations.
This documentary, describes the events that finally led Geronimo and his followers to surrender in 1886. It is the story of a tragic collision of two civilizations, each with startlingly different views of one another. Geronimo fought the longest, becoming one of the most famous, feared and misunderstood Indian warriors in our history. 1 hour. Region One.

Apache Indian Resistance - Geronimo
A short explanation of the Apache Native American Indian resistance that happened in the Southwestern United States around the 1860s. There was an active slave trade in the south west that most people are unaware of. The western states were very important in the Civil War for the North. Gold from California and Silver from Nevada helped finance the war against the South. The Indians were in the path of the expanding valuable mineral hunt and settlement. One tribe that fought this expansion were the Apaches. First the Mescalero and then the Chiricahua. The Apache bands were led by Cochise, Victorio, the Chiricahua band was led by famous Geronimo. Geronimo led the most famous Native American resistance and it cost the U.S. government over $40 Million dollars to kill 100 Indians. Geronimo was caught and forced to live in the Southeast where many of the Apaches died. Geronimo died as a captive in 1909 in Oklahoma, far from his mountain home. The speakers are Bob Haozous, a Chiricahua artist and Grace McNeley a Navajo cultural leader.

With the fierceness of his belief, he almost succeeded, managing to massacre Colonel George Custer's Seventh Cavalry, driving back the army and foiling the white man's plan to surround his village.

Native American Medicine (DVD) $23.95
Naturopathic medicine and diagnosis have been with us for thousands of years. From the earliest recorded time, medicine men from the world over used their senses of touch, sight, sound, smell, taste and intuition to assess a patient's condition before selecting a remedy or therapy.
Today, Native Americans live in a modern world, and many have blended their traditional beliefs and customs with Christianity. This interaction of natural mystery and modern life is an on-going process, but there is a feeling among many, that what has been lost is greater than what has been gained.
This program shows how we are still able to reforge the link between modern naturopathic medicine and the ritual ceremony and spiritual traditions of Native American Medicine. Region One. 60 mins.
The proper name for the people commonly known as the Sioux is Oceti Sakowin, (Och-et-ee•shak-oh-win) meaning Seven Council Fires. The original Sioux tribe was made up of Seven Council Fires. Each of these Council Fires was made up of individual bands, based on kinship, dialect and geographic proximity. Sharing a common fire is one thing that has always united the Sioux people. Keeping of the peta waken (sacred fire) was an important activity. On marches, coals from the previous council fire were carefully preserved and used to rekindle the council fire at the new campsite. This great nation was created by a people who had their own system of government and a livelihood. It was forever changed by settlers and trappers. The Oyate, the people, tell their own history and sustaining culture in this hour-long documentary, Oceti Sakowin: The People of the Seven Council Fires. Music by Lakota flutist Kevin Locke.

However, the potential to harvest the riches of all the western plains, especially gold, soon proved more important to the nation than honoring the treaty.

Narrated by Peter Coyote, it explores the history and diversity of competition dancing as well as traditional dancing.

Many dances that are competition dances at pow wows were first developed within this show which ran until the 1920's. The origins of many dances including the Sun Dance are revealed as well as dances that are never performed at pow wows.60 minutes.
