Part 2 of a two-part series on the oral traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Rim. This show looks at the issue of self-determination through the words and stories of four cultures who have had to struggle to keep their cultures intact. Groups featured are the Nisqually people of the Pacific Northwest, native Hawaiians, the Seri people of the Sonoran Desert in northern Mexico, and the Aleut people of Alaska's Pribiloff Islands. "Storytellers of the Pacific" is part of the First Peoples' TV series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
