Clash of Cultures

The American frontier was not an empty land — it was home. In this powerful episode, we uncover the story of the Lakota and other Plains tribes who resisted removal, reservations, and forced assimilation. From Custer’s Last Stand to the boarding schools and the Dawes Act, we examine how Indigenous cultures were pushed to the edge — and how they endured. This is not just the story of what was lost, but of what survived.
