The first program tells the history of the loss of Indian languages through the United States government policy of sending Indian children to English speaking boarding schools, and of the current revival of education in native languages among the Indians in Wisconsin. The second program explains how storytelling has been the traditional method of passing on the culture of the Anishinabe people, shows hunting and gathering methods, and tells of medicinal, decorative, and functional uses of plants and things in nature. In the third program a young Mohican girl tells that there are eleven Indian nations in Wisconsin and leads an introduction to some of their history and traditional and contemporary customs.
