===“We Shall Remain,” from the American Experience on PBS, is a five-part film series that portrays the crucial role Native Americans have played in American history. Native American people are personalized and their stories unfold in thorough, vivid reenactments. We see the complex cultural, political systems, language, and beliefs that have guided them for centuries. Each film takes a different focus, from the arrival of the Mayflower and broken treaties, to forced relocation, assimilation, modern Tribal activism, and how Tribal enterprise survives today. ===


===**There are teaching guides and student activities for each series. Students can explore the site, develop key questions from topics they are interested in, and design a project that would answer those questions. Students can use timelines to compare and contrast what was happening in the world at key points in time, maps to trace relocation of tribes, and see how tribal lands have changed in the past 100 years. Many topics lend themselves to role play and debate to facilitate discussion of government policies, past and present. Students can also explore Native American tribes in Washington State**, **and see how language, culture and economy exist today.** ===
