Indian Country Diaries: A Seat at the Drum

Documentary Feature

In A Seat at the Drum, journalist Mark Anthony Rolo (Bad River Ojibwe) journeys to L.A., the city that filled his imagination as a child. There he meets many of the thousands of American Indian families who were relocated from poor reservations to the cities in the last half of the 20th century, creating the largest Native American community in the nation — over 200,000 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
