What was once a quest for survival in the past has become a struggle to retain a unique Native American culture and language in the present

The year 1540 was a crucial turning point in American history. The Great Indian Wars were incited by Francisco Vazquez de Coronado when his expedition to the Great Plains launched the inevitable 350-year struggle between the white man and the American Indians. From that point forward, the series of battles between the military and civilian forces of the United States and the native American Indians began when blood was shed and ultimately tens of thousands of lives were lost on both sides. The Battle of Tippicanoe, the Battle of Horseshoe Band, all three Seminole Wars and the Battle of Little Big Horn were some of the most important conflicts that led up to the last massacre, the Battle of Wounded Knee, where America’s landscape would be forever changed!

"Native Americans have experienced a history full of oppression and racism. Since the period when Native tribes were found on this continent at the time of its "discovery," the British and American governments disregarded Native Americans as the owners of the land they occupied and used aggressive force to take their lands and destroy their people. This harrowing and compelling compilation of four award-winning documentary programs chronicles the struggles of the Native American culture from the forced relocation known as the Trail of Tears to the current issues faced by American’s aboriginal people." — Back of container

Trail of Tears: "This two-hour documentary explores one of the great historical tragedies of America’s aboriginal people. In 1830, eager to gain access to lands inhabited by Native Americans, President Andrew Jackson enacted the Indian Removal Act which forced the Cherokee Nation to leave their homeland and relocate into unchartered territory. Many of these forced settlers suffered from exposure, disease and starvation and upon arriving in Indian Territory, they arrived with no past and no future." — Back of container

Black Indians: "This award-winning feature examines a minority group that is discounted and often ignored by mainstream media. Sharing a common past, many African Americans and Native Americans have combined to create a unique culture that has meshed the traditions and fine heritage of both. Little known, little documented and often marginalized, this group has become all but invisible at the dawn of the new millennium." — Back of container

Native American Healing: "This comprehensive look at the ancient health and healing methods of American aboriginals uncovers the invaluable contributions that Native Americans made to early frontier living. Early European settlers learned how to use healing plants and herbs from the aboriginal people, and these methods are still important today in maintaining health." — Back of container

Our Spirits Don’t Speak English: "This compelling documentary feature give the Native American perspective on Indian Boarding Schools and uncovers the dark history of U.S. government policy which took Indian children away from their homes, forced them into boarding schools and enacted a policy of educating them in the ways of Western Society. This award-winning film gives a voice to the countless Indian children forced through a system designed to strip them of their Native American culture, heritage and traditions." — Back of container

"Mainay u?(你要成為男人嗎?)""Mainay ku.(我要成為男人.)" "Mainay"卑南族語,"男人"的意思. 想進入巴拉冠男子會所接受教育的男孩,對祖先及兄長的宣誓,對同輩互相照顧所許下的承諾,是卡大地布男孩成為"Mainay"的修煉之旅. 臺東知本卡大地布部落,對成熟男性的養成,藉由巴拉冠會所為中心,來進行傳統的訓練與教育養成. 這在狩獵採集時期,為要保護部落生存領域,部落訓練軍隊所建立的男子會所政治組織制度,現仍在卡大地布部落維持著,成為部落文化教育的根基. 希望藉由影片來訴說部落觀點,祖先所教導的仍是不變的最高品德. 巴拉冠會所在現代社會存在的目的是什麼呢? 2011年開始,臺東縣政府為要開發觀光,要將卡大地布部落世代埋葬祖先的第六公墓遷離部落,這等於是消滅了部落信仰的核心. 部落發起"捍衛祖靈.拒絕遷葬"行動,其中巴拉冠會所在長期的抗爭行動中,成為運動的主力,成功抵擋祖靈之地開挖,遷移,逼迫政府與部落進入對等協商. 對卡大地布部落來說,不只是公墓的遷移,而是文化核心及土地的保衛戰

"在巴拉冠,不是你自己一個人很好,是集體都要很好,都要很強!" 台東知本卡大地布部落,至今保有男子年齡階級傳統組織的集體教育養成,以"達古範"少年會所及"巴拉冠"青年集會所為根基,按年齡階級的不同,教育和訓練部落的男子,每三年晉階一次,隨著歲時祭儀的執行.勞動.服務與付出,學習成為成熟.訓練有素的男子,成為部落的後盾. 這是卡大地布部落文化核心價值的傳承,更是保護部落的力量. 部落男孩約滿8歲進入"達古範"少年會所成為"達古伐古範"階級,滿14歲就晉階為"巴拉冠"青年會所的年紀最輕的"valisen"階級. 這個階級必須勞動.做苦力.服從兄長…等修煉,被青年會所內更高階級的兄長們使喚.完成各種任務…等訓練階段. 這些男孩們卻還是很愛來"巴拉冠"勞動,以能夠光榮的晉階為"valisen"階級,正式進入"巴拉冠"青年會所為榮. 是什麼樣的集體力量和部落思維,讓這群叛逆.調皮的國中階段的男孩們,甘願來"巴拉冠"會所付出勞力.服從聽訓,對"巴拉冠"有著強烈的歸屬感呢? "達古範"和"巴拉冠"的養成和教育的意義,如何在現代社會中展現祂的價值呢?
