The first people, the last word
Description
For the first time since their land was taken, many Native American tribes have the opportunity to take over the rights to the land they live on and create a cultural consciousness. The filmmakers travel around the United States, talking to an Indian attorney, a movie director, an artist, a nurse, and others. The question remains - will Native Americans be able to maintain their unique culture now that they are participating in the American dream?
