At the intersection of Native knowledge and modern scholarship is a new vision of America and its people.

Native America is a four-part PBS series that challenges everything we thought we knew about the Americas before and since contact with Europe. It travels through 15,000-years to showcase massive cities, unique systems of science, art, and writing, and 100 million people connected by social networks and spiritual beliefs spanning two continents. The series reveals some of the most advanced cultures in human history and the Native American people who created it and whose legacy continues, unbroken, to this day.

The series explores this extraordinary world through an unprecedented combination of cutting edge science and traditional indigenous knowledge. It is Native America as never seen before—featuring traditional knowledge held by America’s first peoples, history-changing scientific discoveries, and rarely heard voices from the living legacies of Native American cultures.

Native America was produced by a team with Native leadership at every level, created through active input from Native American participants and communities, and filmed by Emmy-award winning cinematographers, including the Rhode Island based production company, Providence Pictures.  Academy Award nominated animators tell Native stories in a whole new light by drawing upon powerful imagery and little known legends. Native American scholars, Faithkeepers, and chiefs make the story intimate by sharing some of their most private, traditions, knowledge, histories and ceremonies.
