AGAINST THE CURRENT | A Short Documentary About the Culture of Indigenous People | BYkids

Native American teen activist 17-year-old Daunnette Moniz-Reyome shares her family's journey to retain the sacred rituals and values of their culture in the wake of centuries of loss due to disease, war and government policies. The effects of this cultural and physical devastation continue to reverberate through the lives of today's Native Americans, especially young people, who grapple with oppression, poverty and racism.
