The Blackfeet Flood
Season 3
Episode 21
More than fifty years after a devastating flood, Butch New Breast returns home to face the ghosts of his past. In 1964, Swift Dam broke and swept through Montana’s Blackfeet Reservation - uprooting homes, killing dozens, and signaling the end of a way of life for many Native families. Half a century later, Butch confronts the tragedy, and tries to remember “what it means to be Blackfeet.”
