Modern-day Native Americans

Megamix

Available for over a year

Expelling the stereotypes surrounding young Indians living in the United States, we talk to two girls from an 800-strong reservation about their lives. Our findings? Just like most young people, they love 鈥榮treet wear鈥� fashion, popular music and their friends. They also face the same problems as many youths living in the United States 鈥� drugs and alcohol. Yet belong to a tribe of less than a thousand people means they feel "everyone is family" and are very proud of their Indian culture. Also on the show, we check out communal life on a modern-day Kibbutz; and visit the TT (Tourist Trophy) races on the tiny British island, the Isle of Man.
