Description
Program Description
"Bemidji Race Relations is a five-part series documenting the historical and present-day racial problems of the native Ojibwe Indians of Northern Minnesota. The city of Bemidji (population 10,000) is a largely white-owned, white-run community centered among three major Ojibwe reservations. Small as it is, Bemidji is the commercial hub for much of Northern Minnesota; to reservation Ojibwes, it's a city where Native Americans are met with suspicion and mistreatment. This series examines Ojibwe and White attitudes about local law enforcement practices, education, employment and housing, and recalls the 1966 Reservation boycott of the city -- a microcosm of the Civil Rights movement. "While Native Americans in Northern Minnesota have for years expressed outrage and despair over their treatment here, not until Bemidji Race Relations did their voices reach a significant audience on such a wide range of important issues."--1990 Peabody Awards entry form.
