Original Patriots: Northern California Indian Veterans of World War II

When America joined the Allies in World War II in 1941, over 25,000 Native American people joined the war effort. Although their stories are rarely told, they are part of "The Greatest Generation." This KEET-TV production, in partnership with Native American educator and author Chag Lowry, shares the stories of three Northern California Native American Veterans of World War II.
