@mark34667 Yes, Angelo Badalamenti has written it. It is called Dark Spanish Symphony. All of his music is quite unique, but this is my favorite piece. You can find more here on YouTube. Regards, Mark

I thought this was a Ken Burns movie, had no idea that it was made in fact by Ken's brother Ric who I never knew existed.

My class is doing an Oregon trail simulation and it's really fun. We should learn about the donner party, because it has stuff to do with pioneers. At least this stuff won't be happening on the Oregon trail!

Is it possible to buy the soundtrack of this documentary? The music is beautiful.

@exxod255 The official statistic is that the population of Native communities which were within travel distance of European settlement was halved every 25 years. This is why there are barely any natives left in the oldest settled areas like the east coast and the eastern islands in the Gulf of Mexico like Puerto Rico. Think about the population of the U.S. going from 300 million to 150 by 2036, and to 75 million by 2061. That's what happened to Natives.

@aaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaaqaa Your comment makes it very clear you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The only arguable case of Indians warring for religion was in the case of the Aztecs, and what the Spanish did to them makes completely pale by comparison their wars prior to European arrival. By disease alone the Europeans did more damage, not counting the atrocities.

I think the main problem was that they weren't wilderness people at all. They were well off city folks who were chasing a rainbow. Too bad. One of America's tragic tales.
