Native American Renaissance Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: There are currently almost 10 million Native Americans in the United States. Once confined to reservations and condemned to poverty, they are proudly reclaiming their culture.

In North Dakota, the Fort Berthold tribe is profiting from the oil craze. Thanks to black gold, the Indian reservation has been transformed into a small American town with infrastructure and health insurance for all. A symbol of the new Indian success story, Sean Sherman was named one of the 100 most influential personalities of 2023 by Time magazine. In his gourmet restaurant, recipes are made exclusively from ingredients that were present in the United States before the arrival of European settlers in the 17th century. Johnny Tail Feathers is trying to reconnect with his roots by reintroducing the sacred bison to the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana.

From the vibrant, shimmering pow wows that bring together thousands of natives in New Mexico to the new oil Eldorado of the Dakotas, we plunge into the America of the Amerindians.
