Description

Three-part series describing the Indian experience in the Americas during the past 500 years. This video tells the real story of Columbus's "discovery" of the Americas, which began the process of land seizures and attacks against Native people that continues to the present, including the flooding of Cree lands, destruction of the Florida Everglades of the Seminole, and the clearing of the Amazon rainforest of the Panara in Brazil.
