Native Land – Nomads of the Dawn
Myths, Legends, and the Shaping of Ancient Empires

“Where did we come from? How did the world begin? People of every culture started out asking these same questions. What makes their answers really fascinating is the fact that many of them came up with different answers. These different answers are the basis of the radically different cultures in which we now live.”
Jamake Highwater

Through a tapestry of ritual dance, drama, and storytelling, Jamake Highwater traces the path of the nomads who discovered the Americas and created the complex civilizations of the Aztecs, Incas and other South American tribes. See how the history and legacy of these peoples have survived through their myths and art, and witness the transformation of cave drawings into the dancing frenzy of the hunting ritual.
