Modern-day Native Americans
Expelling the stereotypes surrounding young Indians living in the United States
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 βstreet wearβ fashion, popular music and their friends. They also face the same problems as many youths living in the United States β 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.
