“Black Indians: An American Story” brings to light a forgotten part of Americans past — the cultural and racial fusion of Native Americans and African Americans. Narrated by James Earl Jones, the film explores what brought the two groups together, what drove them apart and the challenges they face today. A society that wants to build the future must know its past, its real past, as it was.

But what if that past had been lost, forgotten, hidden, or denied?

“Black Indians: An American Story” explores the issue of racial identity among Native Americans and African Americans and examines the coalescence of these two groups in American history. Discounted, and often ignored by mainstream America, these minority peoples have often shared a past. However, with their heritage ignored and their contributions denied they are all but invisible at the dawn of the new millennium.
