What role did Indigenous people play in the American Revolution? And what was happening in present-day Arizona while a war for independence was raging in the east?
Join Arizona PBS & the Heard Museum to look back at the founding of the United States nearly 250 years ago. We’ll explore Indigenous voices of the late eighteenth century, east and west, including stories of American revolutions that predate “the” American Revolution.
This program will feature selections from Arizona PBS’ new digital series WHAT HAPPENED IN AZ and excerpts of the new documentary series by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (premieres Nov. 16), along with a panel discussion featuring local leaders.
