It was indeed good brought out alot of history that has not been told but one of the things i like best about it was the people were still carrying the woodland self bow, noticed some beautiful authentic river cane arrow quivers.
When the people stopped using the bow and took up the gun that was just another sign of the times and the downward spiral of things to come, i really appreciate who ever made these weapons there is very few bow makers left.

We recorded it to watch when things are a bit calmer. Ken was busy working on his deer hides. And we are both trying to get regalia ready to go to Frisco.
I saw the first episode this past Monday it was really good. The schedule in the Georgia area is:
4-13-09
4-20-09
4-27-09
5-4-09
5-11-09
All dates are on Monday and it begins at 9:00pm each night.
Second episode is on Tecumseh, Third-Trail of Tears, Forth-Geronimo and Last one-Wounded Knee. It seems like it’s going to be a great series.:) Whitehawk
I’ve learned so much already! It’s actually worse than I expected or knew previously. It really is sad. I want to cry for my peoples’ suffering……and at the same time be so proud for their endurance. The human race has much to pay for.
I look forward to the rest of the episodes, and hope to buy the DVDs too. This gives me strength to fight and stand for what is right, and look to the Creator for all that I need.
Didn’t mean to say all that:o……but, thanks again Greywolf for giving us a heads up!!!
sooo……….. is anybody watching the NA concerts after the shows or is that just something WUNC is doing?
Up here in Yankee Land they showed a nice documentary on Schemitzun, which is the Mashantucket Pequot celebration of green corn and dance.
Anyone within striking distance of Connecticut this summer might want to consider this very large gathering. There are typically thousands of dancers, and the Grand Entrance is sure to get anyone’s attention. Personally it leaves me unable to speak for a little while.
Lots of traders, big drums, food, etc.
In NC, after the first episode was a Brule concert. After the second episode was Robert Mirabal- “Music from a Painted Cave”. Both concerts were fantastic. The blend of traditional and contemporary instruments, dance and ideas is a fine example of living in two worlds in harmony.
Cool. Set the vcr for a little more than the show. Hope it got some of the music. Haven’t had time to watch the second one yet. The first was pretty good.
It is a great PBS series. I wish they would have a bit more about the the Carolinas and Virginia are.
