Set against the sweeping panoramic vistas of the high plains, Indian Relay explores one of the most competitive, dangerous, and thrilling forms of horse racing practiced anywhere in the world today. From the bitter cold of winter to the heat and mayhem of the summer’s championship races in Montana and Idaho, Indian Relay follows teams from three different American Indian communities over nine months, as they prepare for and compete across a grueling Indian relay season — all hearts set on the glory and honor of winning the National Championships. A film by Charles Dye, Indian Relay premieres during Native American Heritage Month on Independent Lens, hosted by Stanley Tucci, on Monday, November 18, 2013, 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings).
