Featuring a NASA engineer, a singer-songwriter and a preservationist, the series works to smash stereotypes as it follows individuals who draw upon Native tradition to build a better 21st century.
Premieres Tuesdays, Oct. 24 - Nov. 14, 2023 at 9 p.m. on KPBS TV / PBS App. Building on the success of the first season, this four-part Native directed series reveals the beauty and power of today’s Indigenous world. Smashing stereotypes, it follows the brilliant engineers, bold politicians, and cutting-edge artists who draw upon Native tradition to build a better 21st century. Each hour reveals a core tenet of Native heritage: the power of Indigenous design, how language and artistry fuel the soul, the diverse ways that Native women lead, and the resilience of the warrior spirit.
