Watching this episode reminds me of so much of each time I go home and visit my relatives. All the facts are there. I am a Native America from within the Navajo reservation. It don't matter what part of it your from, it will be the same or even worst. I live far away from where I grew up and being able to see this episode brings that connection back to me. I am also a person of two tribes. Zuni Pueblo and Navajo. I only know very little about my Zuni culture and I grew up with my Navajo side. Growing up and learning about my culture was always around me. Even then learning the Language was even harder because there was a lot English influence was always . I am older now and I am having a hard time learning it but I haven't given up yet. Just like what was mentioned. It's a hard life with nothing. A lot of people complain in Large cities about how bad their poverty is. I say the average homeless person in theses places are very lucky to have anything when almost every Navajo has nothing at all, has to travel to get it, or has no way of getting there. Consider the city bum to be rich and wealthy...

My great grandmother was full Cherokee, and the "Grandma" in this episode reminded me of her. It also made me reflect and appreciate knowing her, and the culture she brought to our family. It's disheartening to know that people still live in those conditions in America, it's not right.

these values, almost all the first American native tribes that I have pow wowed with have in common. As he left, i too felt tearful, and alone. I have spent many days camping with native Americans. Many years at real Thanksgiving celebrations with the people who invented it to welcome those from the white world. A few "sweats", it does purge. The problems on the reservations I dont know but I do buy as much crafts and art as I can from these pure peoples. I saw a tee shirt at a pow wow somewhere, "fighting terrorism since 1856" or to that concept. Of referring to the trail of tears when they had to leave native lands due to the gold rush. they know our and their history better than anyone and can tell stories to wake you, arouse you or put you to sleep. their trust is still deep and faith unfaltering. My first best friend in Indiana, a real native taught me how to listen to the drum beat, to dance, to laugh and to camp. He could start a fire, rise at dawn and make jokes out of everything. It took years to realize, as I looked back, to remember, that his grandparents were full blooded Indians, as we used to say. The girls i dated, mostly Indian, did not practice, nor really know; but I felt the understanding kindness and other worldly spirits and I soared in dreams and had vision quests during my teen years because of them. There was White Fawn, the most beautiful princess in the school, her father rode an iron horse, a Harley; we just gazed afar at her--all dreaming that she could be with us someday. Little did we know that when we visited the Mounds State Park that we were playing on sacred grounds; but we felt something, deep in our souls that never left; and today I still feel guided by Great Spirit which I believe is embodied by the great Chief: Geronimo, of whom I purchased a large print of him with his rifle, hawk and horses surrounding him. I still have it and look toward him in time of trepidation, like today. they taught me things i cannot speak of and accepted me as one of their own as they do and the 30 days changed the white man in the video and by doing so changed and enlightened the whole of us as the natives know, we, the plants,animals , the earth and the many peoples of the planet are truly one. Ahao. thank you and praise be to all my relatives who themselves were probably guided by natives who walked the path thousands before we even were imagined.these values, almost all the first American native tribes that I have pow wowed with have in common.

Absolutely phenomenal episode.
I was moved to tears at the end with grandma being there all cute and sad.
God bless that woman

Lets stop ignoring the problems affecting the Native American Community today. I hope some Congressman/woman would look into the unemployment, drug-addiction, etc that is happening in the Reservations because as Mr. Spurlock said, "they are part of our culture". They shouldn't be ignored.
