We Shall Remain, Episode 1: After the Mayflower

"A provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential Episode of American history. In 1621, Massasoit, sachem of the Wampanoags of New England negotiated a treaty with Pilgrim settlers. A half-century later, as a brutal war flared between the English and a confederation of Indians, this diplomatic gamble seemed to have been a grave miscalculation. Directed by Chris Eyre." -- Product Description
