Highlights
* The pivotal role of the Indians and the Pilgrims in the evolution of democracy and the American mind and spirit.
* The widely-believed misinformation and misconceptions concerning the relationship between the Pilgrims and the Indians.
* The resulting blame, shame, anger and guilt that has America morally paralyzed.
*The inspiring, forgotten, inter-cultural friendship that sits at the founding of the United States – an exception to the human condition then and now.
*The spiritual alignment of the Mayflower Pilgrims and the Indians they lived amongst.
The FIRST FIFTY YEARS film will contribute significantly to the evolutionary experiment in democracy that is The United States of America.
The Past: Historical misrepresentation. The Indians have been stereotyped and marginalized for hundreds of years. Their role in the evolution of democracy has been ignored. Colonization has taken the Indians’ lands and destroyed their culture, resulting in bitterness, resentment, and anger.
The Present: Misinformation has been disseminated about the Pilgrims in a misguided effort to correct the imbalance and honor the Indian. Shame, guilt, ignorance and lack of concern on the part of the whites. Distorted history widely believed. A nation morally paralyzed.
The Future: Restoring the balance. Honor as the healing balm. Recognition and acknowledgement of the role both the Mayflower Pilgrims and the Native Americans played in the evolution of the principles and ideals that were the seeds of free government. The inspiring model of visionary leaders bridging great gulfs of difference to live in peace and friendship.
