Description
The Warrior Tradition tells the astonishing, heartbreaking, inspiring, and largely-untold story of Native Americans in the United States military. The film chronicles the accounts of Native American warriors from their own points of view- stories of service and pain, of courage and fear. During World War I, not all Native Americans were even citizens of the United States and couldn’t be drafted; yet more than 12,000 Indian men volunteered. Even in an unpopular war in Vietnam, 90 percent of the 42,000 Native people who served were volunteers. The roll call of valor is endless. But there’s more to the story than heroism, and more than one way to be a warrior.
