Native Americans during the Civil War
This is a specialty topic dealing with our Native people during the Civil War. The Civil War touched many lives both in the North and the South, but none more than the twenty-some thousand American Indians who left their homes for the battlefields of the Civil War.
They had hoped that by participating in the fight they might bring some benefit to their people. However, the years of 1861 - 1865 proved to be yet another sad chapter in the tragic history of the Indians since the European colonization.
Join Red Hawk on a magical and difficult journey as he relates the history and stories of the Native people during one of the most troublesome times in our country's history - the Civil War! This program is a must for anyone who wishes to understand the Native culture, how and why the Native people think the way they do, or to broaden your historical knowledge. |
