The People of the Great Plains (Part One)
An episode in the TBS series "The Native Americans"
Mostly about the Lakota, Comanche, and Blackfeet. The Crow were mentioned in passing but otherwise ignored. Go figure. Heh.
Very preachy and politically correct.
A little bit of history is included, but it is mostly about the plight of the modern tribes.
Horses were a very important part of the culture of the plains tribes for hundreds of years, but are totally ignored.
A very good treatment of the tribes' relationships with domesticated dogs, though.
There is one very interesting part where a Lakota disrespects the ancient migration from Siberia hypothesis, instead insisting that the Lakota were created in North America and have always been here, since forever.
