Sally Jenkins, sports columnist and feature writer for the Washington Post, talks about her book The Real All Americans. This story is about the origins of football and the controversial events at the Carlisle Indian School. Chris and Emmy award winning documentarian Perter Gilbert discuss the 1912 Native American football team led by Jim Thorpe and coach "Pop" Warner and how they defeated the U.S. Military Academy on the fields of West Point. This story shines a light on the monumental contributions and sacrifices Native Americans brought to the game. Jenkins also addresses the present state of football, derogatory mascots, and the effect of concussions on football culture.
