Chiefs Series 1 5of6 The Trial Of Poundmaker
Chiefs: Series 1
The six-part series is the saga of the great leaders, warriors and diplomats of the First Nations whose stories form a central drama of the North American continent. A blend of documentary and dramatic re-enactment, bringing to life the power, spirit and mystery of the First Nations, the films also seek to separate the myth from the men, to tell the story of leaders who could be equally Machiavellian and magnanimous, cruel and foolish as well as brilliant and brave.
Part 5: The Trial of Poundmaker
Thayendanegea, or Joseph Brant, was a Mohawk military and political leader in the 18th century, based in present-day New York. Closely associated with Great Britain during and after the American Revolution, he met the most famous figures of his day, including George Washington and King George III.
