Today in Humanities class, the students watched part of an episode (the first 53 minutes and 46 seconds, to be exact) of We Shall Remain, a five-part television documentary history of Native America. Produced by American Experience, it is a project which, according to the website, “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.”

The portion – Tecumseh’s Vision – which the students watched told the stories of two Shawnee brothers, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa and their early 19th century dream of and fight for an independent Indian state.
