Film Description:
A Great Lakes documentary reveals how a Native American tribe, the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi in SE Michigan, is adopting scientific methods to preserve and protect their traditional culture and the river on which it relies. While never removed from their ancestral lands, the Pokagon are seeing their way of life fractured by development. (30 min.)
