>From the award-winning PBS series AMERICAN EXPERIENCE comes WE SHALL
REMAIN, a provocative multi-media project that establishes Native
history as an essential part of American history.

At the heart of the project is a five-part television series that
shows how Native peoples valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands
and fought the extinction of their culture -- from the Wampanoags of
New England in the 1600s who used their alliance with the English to
weaken rival tribes, to the bold new leaders of the 1970s who
harnessed the momentum of the civil rights movement to forge a
pan-Indian identity. WE SHALL REMAIN represents an unprecedented
collaboration between Native and non-Native filmmakers and involves
Native advisors and scholars at all levels of the project.
