The Warrior Tradition

Returning Home | Lesson Plan Segment

8m 38s

This segment shows the trauma of war and how Native traditions protected veterans during the war and aid their healing once they have returned home. Veterans share their experiences with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and how their culture and traditions have helped them. Learn how the Warrior Tradition helps reintegrate veterans back into their humanity through celebrations that honor and purify.

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.
