The PBS documentary series Native America explores the splendor and ingenuity of the world created by America's First Peoples. Combining modern science with Native knowledge, the series shines a spotlight on these ancient cultures and the communities that still thrive today.

Join us for a screening of the episode "New World Rising" which explores how Native Americans resisted conquest. This episode combines scholarship and indigenous voices to provide a balanced history of the Comanche.

After the screening, join a conversation with Executive Producer Julianna Brannum who will discuss her work, motivation and approaches for sharing Native American history with a national audience. Following the discussion, tour original exhibitions to truly appreciate Comanche contributions to the Texas identity. This program is held in conjunction with the exhibition Becoming Texas.
