  End Of The Trail DVD END OF THE TRAIL was the first honest, soul searching account of an inglorious chapter in American history, the treatment of the American Indian during the great Westward migration. Graphic still photos and narratives gleaned from personal diaries debunk the myths of the Hollywood Western. Sioux, Comanche, Apache, and countless other tribes were stripped of their dignity, religious freedom, and way of life under the onslaught of Manifest Destiny. A procession of broken treaties and misunderstandings escalated into conflicts that ended on legendary battlefields like Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee. Recounted sympathetically by narrator Walter Brennan, this tragic period comes to life through magnificent Images of Native Americans, frontier settlers, U.S. calvary and corpse strewn battlefields as a proud people wage a losing battle to preserve an ancient way of life and protect their sacred lands.
USA, 1967, B&W, 60 minutes.
