Defending the Fire - 3 Horsemen

Defending the Fire

Defending the Fire is the true story of Native American Warriors from first contact to the present. While European and American warriors are idolized for building empires and enslaving the conquered, Native warriors are often characterized as violent aggressors. Through centuries of denial of rights and broken promises, Native people have fought to protect their people, lands, and culture. Despite poor treatment by the United States Government, American Indians enlist in the armed forces in numbers that far exceed their percentage of the population. The courageous Indian men and women who continue to stand by their country answer the question: Why fight?
