Mon., Nov. 11, 9pm on WKAR-HD 23. 1 | Learn the heartbreaking, inspiring, and largely untold story of the Native Americans in the United States Military.
This film relates the stories of Native American warriors from their points of view: stories of service, pain, courage, and fear. There's more to the story than heroism. The Warrior Tradition dispels the old duality of the Noble Savage/helpless victim that has dominated our cultural portrait of Native Americans for more than a century.
But it’s a more complicated story. Indian warriors have a wide mix of emotions and motives – patriotism, pride, rage, courage, practicality, and spirituality, all mingling with an abiding respect for tribal, familial, and national traditions.
