Native American Entrepreneurs
Like all entrepreneurs, Native American entrepreneurs have vision, strength of purpose, and a willingness to take on risk. But, Native Americans who start businesses face unique challenges, and their culture has given them a unique perspective on entrepreneurship.
NBR uncovers this uniqueness in "Native American Entrepreneurs," a series airing three, consecutive Mondays in April. The series is designed as a companion piece to "We Shall Remain," the definitive, multi-media history of Native Americans from PBS's American Experience. "We Shall Remain" also premieres April 13, 2009.

British and American residents continued to alter the island's geography in subsequent centuries.See how Lower Manhattan has changed -- from 17th century Dutch fortress to 21st century financial center.

Texas's borders enclose over 170 million acres of land -- grassy prairies, harsh deserts, thick woodlands, and 624 miles of seacoast. The region also boasts many types of animals and plants. With these natural advantages, it supported a diverse population of Native Americans.

Spanish explorers first set foot in Texas in the 16th century, as Spain and France competed to claim New World lands. After years of colonization by Spanish- and English-speaking settlers, the region's residents fought against imperial forces for the right to claim Texas as their own.
