We Shall Remain
WE SHALL REMAIN is a groundbreaking mini-series and provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. Five 90-minute documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective.
The series 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.

On February 27, 1973, fifty-four cars rolled, horns blaring, onto the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Within hours, some 200 Oglala Lakota and American Indian Movement activists seized the few major buildings in town, and police cordoned off the area. Demanding redress for grievances—some going back 100 years—the protesters captured the world’s attention for 71 gripping days.
