No, not really. There was discussion about the extreme measures used to forcibly convert Native peoples to Catholicism in the 17th Century, but nothing after that -- certainly nothing about the depth and breath of Native religions.
It will be interesting if later episodes deal with the hysterical reaction to the Plains Indians' Ghost Dance.
Why? What happened?
Yanno what else was odd? Nothing about Asian immigrants' religions, nor about the Hawaiian people's.
I guess as it is, it's worth watching but it certainly is incomplete. Not really typical PBS quality in that regard.
Well, the show is titled "God in America", not "Religion in America", so it might just be that those things aren't within their topic focus.
