Description: The Native American Wrestling Experience looks at the contributions to wrestling by the indigenous peoples of North America. Since the arrival of Europeans, the indigenous peoples of North America have been fighting to save their heritage, a heritage that includes ceremonial and ritual-based athletic contests that involved a wrestling match or two. Experience legendary stories passed on from generation to generation, including "Father of the Indian Corn," and Sioux warrior Chief Gall and his wrestling match with Cheyenne warrior Roman Nose. Even the destructive Indian Boarding school period saw some positive changes within the Native American community. Some of wrestling's most well-known coaches, including Cliff Keen and David James, and athletes who overcame obstacles, including Mark Branch and Ray Miller, are featured.
