The High Chaparral, which aired from 1967 to 1971 on NBC, centers on Big John Cannon and his dream to carve a ranch out of the Arizona territory.  The show is historic because it cast Latino and Native American actors in roles that broke stereotypes, a first for the television industry during the time of the Civil Rights movement.
