Though most Americans get that the nation needs to switch to greener energy sources, too few may understand what it takes to make the switch. But as shown in Power Paths, a documentary debuting on the PBS series Independent Lens on Nov. 3, 2009, several Indian tribes not only know what it takes, but they have made a lot of progress toward change.Directed by Bo Boudart and narrated by Peter Coyote, the one-hour film examines the complex and often heated debates on energy that take place on Capitol Hill, in corporate boardrooms and in tribal communities. It also pays tribute to grassroots efforts to protect tribal lands, air and water — all considered sacred by Native American people — from the effects of mining and coal burning.

I am glad I found this.As a non-native and student of First Nations History I think that more people that are non-native need to know what is going on regarding our Nations Indian Nations, which is also the Nations Living National Treasure that is so under rated and so invisible to so many. That is wrong, great blog and post.
