Our First Peoples have not been awarded the credit for their enormous contribution to blues, jazz, rock, dance,funk, metal. This documentary gives mass props to our nation's unique compositions, musicians, & styles, that the most diverse nation in history has produced. Makes 'ya wanna love on America.
Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me! I DVR'd it, and haven't watched it yet!
I know that American culture has been greatly influenced by native Americans. It is so ingrained that few of us ever think about it. A very high percentage of Americans have at least a little bit of native ancestry, and most are not aware of that fact.
I look forward to watching the documentary later.
That is a stirring documentary. I will have to watch it over and over to get to the essence. There are so many layer. U thought the blues was the origin story of rock, but no, there is another layer that was totally hidden to this foreign woman. i am stunned. that you for posting this.
Yes. We here in the USA are discovering much history that has been omitted due to our Euro centric bias.
