Just watched it - thanks for sharing this.  I knew that the French called them the Nez Perce, but had never heard what they called themselves.

Have you watched DamNation?

Thanks for posting this.  It reminded me of a doc made by a Canadian friend with a similar title, about the struggles of a particular band of the Dene in the NWT:

Another related item: The Seattle Times just posted a great feature story with pics and map of this year's annual inter-tribal Canoe Journey celebration.  Wonderful to see all the tribes building community and reviving their traditions.

Tribal Canoe Journeys represent healing and revival

Beautiful, gb. A project in a local school in my area that includes canoe building and native traditions.
