Editorial Review:
They were charismatic and forward thinking, imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute, and, at times, arrogant, vengeful, and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native American leaders from Massasoit, Tecumseh, and Tenskwatawa, to Major Ridge, Geronimo,
and Fools Crow, valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture. Sometimes, their strategies were militaristic, but more often they were diplomatic, spiritual, legal, and political.
From PBS s acclaimed history series, American
Experience, in association with Native American Public Telecommunications, We Shall Remain establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. These five documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective, upending two-dimensional stereotypes of American Indians as simply ferocious warriors or peaceable lovers of the land.
We Shall Remain Reviews:
We Shall Remain 
2009-10-17 - I am ashamed to say I haven't viewed the complete series,yet. But I know I won't be disappointed. I had hoped to find all of the PBS series titled "How the West was Lost," but I guess it is out of print, & insted found the background music, on a DVD, from "Amazon." What a thrill!
Amazon, as usual, is efficient & unbelievably quick in sending out anything I have purchased from them. Whether it be coffee, books, CD's, or DVD's.
If you are interested in learning more about Indians,(when did I become a Native American) which I have been since birth, from the Indian viewpoint...order this series NOW. Thanks for reading my review. Hope you'll enjoy it as much. Happy hunting.
Great documentary 
2009-10-13 - Bought this movie to study about Native American's for my college class and I liked it so well, my whole family watched it.
excellent & from a different viewpoint 
2009-09-29 - This is an excellent film series told from the viewpoint of the natives in America.They were strong and beautiful, but they could not stop the flood of people from Europe. The first episode about the arrival at Plymouth rock is so different than what I learned in school. It showed me how quickly treaties and pacts can change in just a generation!
When you see Geronimo with 29 people against 9,000, you have to be in awe of the man. He rode in the presidential parade as a hero, but the US government never let him return to his homeland.Sad story.
I also am concerned for the tribes in Brazil today. I googled a map of where Christians have been spreading the "true" religion. Very sad indeed. Let the tribes there have their own religion and way of life. Have we learned nothing?
This series should be shown in high schools & colleges today!
We Shall Remain 
2009-09-28 - There are so many things brought to light in this narrative that we certainly didn't learn in school! It's heart-wrenching & wonderful.......we loved it. I would highly recommend this series to your family.....but, it's a bit gruesome in parts, so probably not a good idea for the younger ones.
Great series 
2009-09-06 - The first DVD set I purchased was defective. I was able to exchange it for a properly working set.
