Two Rivers (0:57) 2007

Two Rivers is a documentary about the reconciliation between the white residents of Twisp, a small upscale Washington town and the Methow and Colville Native Americans. The Schmekels realized that Twisp was not a melting pot and started to research the reasons that there weren't any Native Americans living in the community. The Schmekels reached out and invited several tribal leaders to begin a conversation to learn and understand how this came about. The documentary spends some time explaining about the history of the Methow Valley including the settlement by pioneers and the removal of Native Americans to reservations. After a year of living room conversations, more and more participants became involved. These conversations led to an annual reconciliation Powwow between the Twisp residents and the Methow tribe, This is one of the best documentaries I have watched concerning Native American history and today's efforts to right the injustices done to the Native American population. This is a must see documentary which is inspiring, touching and hopeful. It brings forth the message of the power of one to bring about change.
