People of the West

Season 1

People of the West is a ten-part premium docu-drama that tells the history of California through Native voices, from pre-contact life to the present day. The series combines cinematic reenactments, expert interviews, archival materials, and modern visual storytelling to present a continuous, statewide narrative rarely seen on television. Rather than focusing on a single tribe or isolated moment, the series is designed as a comprehensive historical arc—covering creation stories, colonization, genocide, resistance, assimilation, activism, sovereignty, and restoration. Each episode stands alone, while together they form a cohesive long-form series suitable for broadcast, streaming, and educational distribution
