The Warrior Tradition

Image of Native Americans and Stereotypes | Lesson Plan

18m 29s

Stereotypical images of Native Americans have existed for centuries. Discover the rich history and diversity of Native Americans and how it can provide an understanding of the warrior tradition. Native American service in World War I and II changes perceptions. Navajo Code Talkers use their language as a strength for the nation, despite American efforts to eliminate Navajo through assimilation.

Warrior Tradition has been made possible by a major grant from The Corporation for Public Broadcasting: A private corporation funded by the American people. With additional funding provided by The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, Independent Health and Arizona Humanities.
