Kifaru Productions.
In 1990, they began to realize movies
and television programs about Indians focus on history, and they felt a need
to bring the modern day existance of Indians to light.
They focus on the rights of Indian
religious freedoms, land claims,
health care and several other
rights of todays' Indian nations.

"All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth
Befalls the sons of the earth.
Man did not weave the web of life.
He is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web,
He does to himself."
Chief Seattle, 1854
TRAIL
OF TEARS
During the Trail of Tears, when many American Indians were
starved, mistreated, frozen, and buried as time allowed, many of
our ancestors escaped along the way. They did not sign the
'papers', their names will never be found on the 'rolls', they
were forced to deny their heritage.
Why? During the long walk, the American Indians were treated as
unfertile soil, rocky land of no value. The trail had no
ending.. for many of our people. Others resurfaced and were
believed to be of Spanish descent, Creole, or as I was once
told, Black Dutch.
Where is the Oak Wreath that signifies true home, for those of
us not accepted by our own, or by the white man? Do you know of
the Trail of Tears? Maybe it is time you read of every path
taken, I challenge you not to cry.
