Next year 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: “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.” But read on; the Declaration may surprise you. It calls the Native peoples of America “merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.”

For generations, stories of Native America have been kept separate and apart from the American story.

Connecticut Public presents “Still Here: Native American Resilience in New England.” This special multi-platform series will feature Indigenous perspectives and take a fresh look at the history of our region. We’ll also meet culture bearers and knowledge keepers who are working to carry Native life forward.

  • Chapter 4: A Native American reverence for water, celebrated with music

    Chapter 4: A Native American reverence for water, celebrated with music
    Nov 14 2025

    A Connecticut singer is taking Native art and culture to new places. He invited Indigenous musicians – as well as one of the world’s most famous cello players, Yo-Yo Ma – to perform at sunrise on the banks of the Connecticut River. The performance highlights Native peoples’ deep connection to nature and water. Water is a source of creation, shaping everything around us: the contours of land, even names that define us. Names like: Connecticut. In Chapter 4 of “Still Here,” we take you to the sunrise performance designed to “welcome the dawn with music.”

    Chapter 3: ‘An unsung hero:’ The story of Tarzan Brown
    Nov 14 2025

    In the 1930s, runner Tarzan Brown twice won the Boston Marathon – and carried the Narragansett tribe’s name out of obscurity and onto a global stage. “He was like an unsung hero for a long time,” his granddaughter says. “It’s just good to see him get the recognition he deserves.” In Chapter 3 of “Still Here,” discover how Brown put his tribe back on the map through endurance running, a tradition that goes back centuries in Native American cultures.
