We shall remain
We Shall Remain | American Experience | PBS
Freely available A stunning documentary about the colonization of native american land by the european settlers. It is heartwrenching at times, beautiful at others. It is shown from the perspective of the native americans, not the colonizers as may previous documentaries on this topic have been. I especially recommend for Avatar fans the #2 episode about the Shawnee alliance. While sadly as we all know, the "indians" lost against the colonizers, they showed a number of attempts of resistance. Episode #2 reminds me very strongly of Avatar "calling the tribes" by a person who had a "divine vision" to defend the land against the aliens.

Only when we loose ourselves in the stories they have the power to control us. Our culture got lost in the wrong story, a story of death and defeat, of opression and control, of separation and competition. We need a new story!"
