Two Rivers

Some 10 years ago, almost by accident, a handful of whites and Native Americans in the Northwest began meeting together to find out why relationships between Natives and non-Natives were virtually nonexistent outside of courtrooms.

"Two Rivers" documents their discoveries, as they grappled with the radical differences between the two cultures and faced the pain and anger Indians feel because of racism, hypocritical and greedy American policies, and the serious harm Indian schools have inflicted on Native families and culture.

The results of this groups' work together is astonishing and touches people on both sides. It's changing lives, impacting communities and affecting race relations in the Northwest, perhaps even across America.

Dove Review

This is an educational documentary about a group of people that leads a discussion with the Native Americans, whose tribes and families once owned the land that this Northwestern community now owns. Through the many interviews and discussions the group learns friendship and they overcome misleading information that history has portrayed. This results in the group connecting and heals the wounds caused by the past.

Over the years in America there has been a lot of talk and discussion regarding racial discrimination. In all those discussions the one culture that is never talked about much is the Native American culture and the terrible way they have been treated. This documentary will enlighten and encourage the healing process for all of America.

Although this is an important documentary, due to some of the intense pictures, I believe that it may frighten young children unless it is discussed with them. Dove awards the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for 12+.
