History Of Region’s Indian Tribes Told

“Sovereign Nations,” a two-part documentary about the Indian nations of the Inland Northwest, debuts tonight on KSPS-Channel 7 at 8.

The first hour traces the history of the region’s tribes through the coming of the white man and the devastating wars of 1858.

The second hour, Wednesday at 8 p.m., deals with the establishment of the reservations and the Indian boarding schools. It also deals with tribal gaming and some of the complex tribal issues of today.

This project has been in the works for nearly four years, making it one of the most ambitious projects attempted by KSPS.
