Summary: | Soros Documentary Fund
People living on Indian reservations are among the poorest in the United States, and despite laws of Tribal Sovereignty, they have very little control over their "ancestral lands," especially when they must come up against large corporations who view the Natives as easily exploitable people sitting upon huge reserves of energy. This is a documentary about four different Native American tribes and the hardships they must face as they try to protect their land, culture and people. It is a tale that puts in perspective the Native American experience, from a historical and modern point of view.
