"Lost nation: the Ioway 2" When the Ioway were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands to a reservation in Kansas, Ioway leader White Cloud (The Younger) believed the move would ensure survival for his people. But broken treaties, land loss, the end of communal living, and attempts to diminish their unique language and culture led to the establishment of a second Ioway Tribe and their own "trail of tears." "Lost nation: the Ioway 3" As two separate Nations, the Ioway entered the 20th century amid American Indian policies aimed at Native American assimilation. From the Ghost Dance to the American Indian Movement, the Ioway experienced cultural disintegration and rebirth. Successful land claims in the 1970s propelled both tribes toward greater self-determination and a revival of time-honored Native traditions."--IMDb.
