  • where to find government information;
  • how to obtain tribal membership, enhancing one's sense of belonging and heritage;
  • how and where to research the Dawes Rolls;
  • benefits offered thorough official Native American status; 
  • how to participate in tribal elections;
  • valuable internet sites; 
  • and listing of over five hundred U.S.. federally recognized Native American tribes.

This film was narrated by Gregg Howard and was a winner of the 1997 Telly Award and two Crystal of Excellence Awards.
