"We Shall Remain" On PBS

[Dinger]

This looks excellent. As a non-Native person, I would be interested on the opinions of Native Americans on this series.


Thank you

2. Geronimo is on there now

I watched that one yesterday.

My late mother was raised in Tucson, Arizona and she used to tell me stories about Geronimo.

She said he was a very "bad Indian" and that everyone was afraid of him. I remember her telling me that no one could ever catch Geronimo and that he was feared forever by everyone.

This film mentions this - that the Apache people in general are not overly proud of Geronimo and that he has left his scar on America.



Some great photography in this episode. Sad story nonetheless.

3. Fantastic series!

I've seen the first three and was totally impressed with both the research and objectivity, i.e., no punches pulled. I learned more in those 3 hours than the past decades of learning and reading some "Native American" history and personal research.
