RE: Native American Heritage month on PBS. I'd like to post the link to my TPT - Twin Cities PBS documentary "Dakota Exile" which we made with the Dakota Oyate on the diaspora of the "D" speakers after the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. It is narrated by Robbie Robertson and features Elders and tribal historians from Minnesota, Manitoba, North & South Dakota, Saskatchewan, Montana and Nebraska.
