PBS&#8217;s description of the series reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Each hour of\u00a0<em>Native America<\/em>\u00a0explores Great Nations and reveals cities, sacred stories, and history that has long been hidden in plain sight. In America\u2019s Southwest, First People emerge from the earth to build stone skyscrapers with untold spiritual power, and transform deserts to fertile fields. In New York, warriors renounce war and found America\u2019s first democracy five hundred years before the Declaration of Independence \u2013 and later inspire a young Benjamin Franklin. On the banks of the Mississippi, rulers raise a metropolis of pyramids from swampland and draw thousands of pilgrims to their new city to worship the sky. And in the American West, nomads transform a weapon of conquest into a new way of life, turning the tables on European Invaders, and building an empire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kanopy is also offering a collection of over 250 films by and about native peoples. Some selections are derived from\u00a0American Indian Film Festival winners, while others, like\u00a0<em>Songs My Brothers Taught Me<\/em> (2015), star native actors.
