Still Here: Native American Resilience in New England

We hope you enjoyed our 2026 Annual Film Screening highlighting Afro-Indigenous relationships to land.

2026 is an important year for our country. It marks a milestone in America’s history – 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Our founding document put forward aspirations that have shaped America and inspired the world. But the Declaration may surprise you. It calls the Native peoples of America “merciless Indian Savages.”
For generations, stories of Native America have been kept separate and apart from the American story.

Take a fresh look at the history of our region — and hear today’s Indigenous voices. It’s part of Still Here: Native American Resilience in New England — a special series from Connecticut Public, featuring radio storytelling, in-depth videos, digital stories, pictures and a community conversation.
