“Native America” explores the work created by America’s First Peoples. This is a four-part PBS series that reaches back 15,000 years to bring to life a land of massive cities aligned to the stars, sophisticated systems of science, spirituality, art, writing and 100 million people connected by social networks scanning two continents.
“Native America” was filmed in some of the most spectacular locations in the hemisphere, including Chaco Canyon and locations all across New Mexico.
Tune in to watch “Native America” beginning Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. on New Mexico PBS, channel 5.1.
