Watch Communities Of The Past

Monuments and statues are reminders of a community's past. American Indian history is introduced via a survey of the homes built by tribes in the Pacific Northwest, the Eastern Woodlands, the Great Plains, and the Southwest. This program reviews the changes brought by the Pilgrims, how the colonists established Williamsburg, and how settlers advanced into the West. Holiday traditions such as Thanksgiving and piatas are traced through the movement of people throughout America.
