The story of how North America was discovered and tamed is told through two sets of eyes: the native Indians and the European newcomers. The series, which received a Finalist Certificate at the New York Festival, is a magnificent hotchpotch of paintings, photographs, old songs played on period instruments, contemporary Indians voicing the words of their ancestors, and magnificent wildlife filming, revealing the shifting balance between man and nature.
