  • 17 years ago
This 1916 Rodman Wanamaker film chronicles the history of the Native Americans of the United States from written history up to the early 20th century. The film begins by highlighting the mythological unknown history of the Native Americans and their deep spiritual connection with the Earth. As the film progresses, it discusses daily life activities of different tribes of Native Americans. It also shows some of the ancient ceremonies performed by the Native Americans, including ceremonies to ask for the blessing of rain. As the movie comes to an ending, it takes into consideration the fact that before white men arrived in North America, there was rarely fighting between Indian tribes. Since white men arrived and began acting aggressively towards native tribes, the Native Americans naturally responded in an aggressive way. Left to the thoughts of the viewers are whether Native Americans have been given true citizenship in America. See the full length: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com
