  A history of the Native American, retold through archive photographs and narrative. It covers key events in Native American history from the first contacts with Europeans in the 1500s, through centuries of conflict and struggle for land, to life in the territories today. It draws on hundreds of old photographs sourced from archives all over the USA and Canada and investigates the economic, social and spiritual life of the peoples - a traditional Indian childhood; the 19th century boarding schools; belief and superstitions - and maps which highlight shifts and diminishing Native territories.
