PBS did a documentary on the Pine Ridge reservation, Homeland. "HOMELAND is the rich and engaging story of four Lakota Indian families from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This emotionally compelling film weaves a portrait of a spiritual leader, a grandmother, a community activist and an artist over the course of three years. HOMELAND follows these families as they face the harsh realities common to most American Indian reservations - alcoholism, unemployment and scarce housing. With their family loyalty, spiritual devotion and keen sense of humor, they work to build a better life for their children and future generations." http://www.pbs.org/itvs/homeland/story.html

More and more information on American Indian tribes and nations is available on the web. Much of this information is written for teaching children of the tribe about their language and culture. Be careful when you google a topic, because there's a lot of Indian wannabe hooey out there, as well.
