Indian Country Diaries is a two-part series for national public television that explores issues facing contemporary Native Americans in both urban and reservation settings. The 90-minute documentaries feature compelling narrative stories weaving themes of identity, sovereignty, health, assimilation, religion and more into a fascinating portrait of a people too often invisible both on television and to American society in general. Along with the planned outreach campaign and website, Indian Country Diaries will spark a national dialogue among indigenous peoples as well as between Natives and non-Natives to consider how culture, place and history shape identity.
