Native Americans have played an important role in the US military and despite a contentious relationship with the federal government, their service in America's armed forces outpaces other groups. Why would Indian men and women sacfrifice so much for the very government that took their homelands?
The answer is something called "the Warrior Tradition", which is also the name of a WNED-produced documentary which debuts nationwide on PBS tonight and pays tribute to their stories, their culutre and heritage.
WBFO's Michael Mroziak spoke with Larry Hott, producer and director, and D.J. Vanas, an Air Force veteran and member of the Ottawa Tribe, about The Warrior Tradition, which debuts Monday, November 11 at 9 p.m. on WNED-TV.
