This series is the saga of five great First Nations chiefs -
Sitting Bull, Pontiac, Joseph Brant, Black Hawk and Poundmaker. Their
stories form a central drama of the history of the North American
continent. Their living descendants are the storytellers. By blending
documentary and re-enactment, the episodes reveal an alternative and
essential history of Canada and the United States. Sitting Bull - Party
1&2: This two-part episode of Chiefs chronicles the life and legacy
of a remarkable Native leader that the US government regarded as a
stubborn and dangerous obstacle. The Black Hawk War: This episode of
Chiefs gathers together Sauk descendants from Oklahoma to revisit their
traditional homeland in northern Illinois and Wisconsin. The Pontiac
Rebellion: This episode of Chiefs brings to life a great Native leader
who demonstrated to the world that the British were not invincible. The
Trial of Poundmaker: In this episode of Chiefs, the role of Poundmaker
is played by one of his direct descendants, Tyrone Tootoosis.
Administrators in the Indian Department, including Sir John A. Mcdonald,
saw Cree leader Poundmaker as an agitator and assumed that the Cree
were in complete collusion with the Louis Riel rebellion. The Worlds of
Joseph Brant: This episode of Chiefs tells the story of a man whose name
still stirs up controversy, especially among his descendants, the
people of the Six Nations. FREE economy shipping to USA and Canada. ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO RETURNS, Exchanges on faulty items only. PLEASE TAKE IT IN CONSIDERATION BEFORE YOU BUY! WITH ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. |
