Native-American

LOOKING TOWARD HOME

DVD0228
Native Americans living in major cities sustain their cultural identities and traditions, far from their tribal homelands. Narrated by Conroy Chino of the Acoma Pueblo, this resource explores how government relocation programs in the 1950s enticed significant numbers of Native Americans to leave the reservation for life in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. The story is told through their eyes and of subsequent generations as they maintain their tribal identity far away from the culturally nurturing climate of the reservation. Chino explores issues facing Native people in urban environments, illustrating the importance of access to adequate health care, education, and the strong sense of community and cultural identity needed to thrive in big cities.
