WE SHALL REMAIN PBS event


Just a reminder that the PBS series We Shall Remain starts this Monday, April 13th. This series presents Native American history as an integral part of how the United States was shaped. Paul Chaat Smith, Author and Curator, says "Stories about people, places, and events in our lives help us understand who we are. Sharing these stories helps us value the histories of our communities and appreciate our identity as Americans. Through an unprecedented collaboration between Native and non-Native filmmakers and advisors, We Shall Remain brings us the stories of Native Peoples - histories that have long been distorted or denied. At the heart of these narratives, we hear the perspectives of Native men and women who have resisted and endured invasion, diseases, war, and assimilation campaigns to eliminate their languages and cultures."

I saw a preview for this series last Sunday after Masterpiece Theatre and it looked like it was going to be really good.
