PBS's American Experience aired the first episode last night of its new five-part series on Native American history, We Shall Remain.
None of us know as much as we should about native history. I don't think it's enough just to know that the white man murdered them for their land. Details are important.
Dedicating ourselves to five Monday nights of educational television is a chance to right the wrongs of our forefathers. If you can't even do that, the episodes are available online.
If you like your massacres a little more modern, American Experience did an amazing show on the life of crazy Jim Jones (of course, he's from Indiana), his church and the mass suicide at Jonestown. It's frightening.
