3Generations – “Native Silence” (25 Min) February 2013 - March 2013
The Emancipation Proclamation, voting rights for women, and the Civil Rights Movement
have all improved the lives of minorities in this country. This progress, however, has
bypassed Native Americans, who have suffered heavily since the arrival of Europeans.
Most Americans are unaware of the huge problems that face these communities.
This short film/documentary tells the story of one family, their struggle to regain their
traditions and spirituality, and the hope they feel for the future.
