We Shall Remain Essay Contest
The Native American Parent Advisory
Committee (NAPAC) is proud to sponsor an Essay Contest in celebration of
the ground breaking PBS miniseries We Shall Remain. We
Shall Remain is a provocative multi-media project that establishes
Native history as an essential part of American history. Five
90-minute documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of
pivotal moments in US history from the Native American perspective.
The Essay Contest is open to all Kyrene kindergarten through eighth grade
students and submissions are due by May 20, 2009. Prizes will be
awarded to the top three essays. Please
