The American Indians-an excellent record
I found this video (wish it was on DVD) and excellent synopsis of what happened to the American Indian tribes as America was growing and fighting wars with England and France. <

>It made me think just how would I feel to be given some land and constantly moved off it with bogus treaties. The maps and Indian quotes were very good. Some of the words attributed to the Indian quotes were too literary for Indians of that time to use...but this is a well done and well worth the time to watch and learn.

Well intentioned, to the point of sanctamonius.
If we've heard too much of the white man's slant on the history of Native Americans, this well-intentioned, but hopelessly biased documentary will make up the difference. Always the Indians point of view, always the rightious victims. And, at less than 50 minutes per tape, way overpriced. Buy or rent "The Way West" or "The West" for a more balanced, and much better done, perspective.

Fitting the Pieces Together
There is so much history written about this subject, and I am researching my own Ancestors at this time. I was so confused about it all, and I got upset reading about the removeals, so I decided to watch my copy of Ancestors. It started where I left off in the book, and I was gripped from the very beginning. It is like seeing the bible come to life! This series beginner has answered many questions, and brought many more, but it has mainly put part of my puzzle together. I want to own the whole series! Perfect in every way, and you can tell everyone's heart was in the making of this film.
