Genre: Documentary
Written and directed by Ric Burns, The Way West chronicles how the American West was lost and won, from the Gold Rush until the final major battle of the Indian Wars at Wounded Knee. Following the clash of cultures as Native Americans and whites struggled bitterly over the land, this documentary tells the story of conquest and defeat and explores the spiritual dimensions of the struggle for the American West.
Part 1: Westward, the Course of Empire Takes its Way
The Gold Rush sent hundreds of thousands of people rushing across the continent to California and Oregon, the world of Native Americans was turned upside down. The ever-quickening pace of expansion led to a series of bloody confrontations between Native Americans and white emigrants, culminating in 1862's Minnesota conflict and, two years later, the massacre at Sand Creek.
Part 2: The Approach of Civilization
In the four years following the Civil War, railroads reached up and over the Sierra Nevada, and farther into the Great Plains, threatening to destroy the remaining buffalo ranges. This period was marked by the triumph, in 1868, of Red Cloud and Crazy Horse over the U.S. Army on the Bozeman Trail, and the joining, in 1869, of the two ends of the transcontinental railroad.
Part 3: The War for the Black Hills
The struggle over the last unceded territories of Indian domain continued, including the U.S. invasion of the Black Hills in search of gold. This treaty violation, along with the systematic extermination of the buffalo, helped set the stage for a final showdown between the U.S. Army and the tribes of the Great Plains.
Part 4: Ghost Dance
The U.S. cracked down on Native American tribes across the Northern Plains and the Northwest in the aftermath of the Battle of the Little Big Horn in June 1876. Witness the final, desperate days of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull and examine the rise of the Ghost Dance religion and the last, horrendous massacre at Wounded Knee.
