The Survival of Washington Indians
             
            
            
                Thousands of years after they first walked the earth, Washington Indians remain
                locked in a struggle to protect who they are, what they believe and how they live.
                When the American West opened in the 19th century, legendary battles ensued and
                threatened ancient customs. Follow Washington's original inhabitants through
                a war over land, a clash over culture and a revival of Native tradition in our world
                today.
                
            
            
                “We are celebrating the survival
                    of a people...We're still here.”
