WGBH’s Powerful New Perspective on the Native American Experience
F
or two decades, WGBH’s American Experience has been introducing audiences to some . of America’s most compelling untold stories, on air and online, winning every major broadcast industry award along the way. We Shall Remain, premiering in April, 2009, expands on this proud WGBH tradition. . The multimedia centerpiece of American Experience’s 21st-anniversary season is the most . extensive prime-time public television project on Native American history ever produced. . It establishes Native history as an essential part of US history in signature American Experience fashion: by telling a seminal story through a creative, meticulously researched lens. The tale of European settlement of North America has been told countless times, “but . never before from the perspective of the land’s original inhabitants,” says We Shall Remain Executive Producer Sharon Grimberg, who plays a key editorial role in overseeing documentaries for the American Experience series. “We Shall Remain tells the story of westward expansion not from the point of view of white people facing west, but of Native people looking east.” Rather than presenting a sweeping, encyclopedic narrative, We Shall Remain focuses on five stories, with Indian voices as their touchstone, taking viewers on a 300-year journey from the so-called first Thanksgiving in New England to the 1973 siege at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. “In introducing these stories, we want to help re-imagine the way Americans think about Native history and contemporary Native communities,” says Mark Samels, Executive Producer for American Experience. “And no project better illustrates the singular role that WGBH and PBS play in today’s media landscape—tackling complex history and bringing it to life.” Funding such a complicated effort always is a challenge. “Increasingly,” Samels adds, “foundations whose missions resonate with our own are playing a critical role.” WGBH’s pitch to the Ford Foundation for We Shall Remain “meshed nicely with Ford’s . commitment to strengthen democratic values, question stereotypes, and build common . understanding,” he continues. “And we were thrilled and grateful when Ford supported our . work with generous grants in 2005 and 2007.” The We Shall Remain initiative—an American Experience production in association with Native American Public Telecommunications, anchored by the five-part PBS series—signals a major . collaboration between Native and non-Native filmmakers, advisors, and scholars. ReelNative, an innovative short film project, allows Native Americans to tell their own stories on film. Nationwide, We Shall Remain community outreach coalitions coordinated by 15 public television stations . will engage schools and libraries, and a companion website, pbs.org/weshallremain, will provide resources well beyond broadcast. “You can’t understand America in the 21st century if you don’t understand the Native . experience,” Sharon Grimberg concludes. “We Shall Remain is a powerful way to explore a critical strand of our history, through Native eyes.” Funding for We Shall Remain is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, Ford Foundation, The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, and Kalliopeia Foundation. Exclusive corporate funding for American Experience is provided by Liberty Mutual. Major funding for American Experience is provided by Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and public television viewers.

They were charismatic and forward thinking, imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute, and, at times, arrogant, vengeful, and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native American leaders from Massasoit, Tecumseh, and Tenskwatawa, to Major Ridge, Geronimo, and Fools Crow valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture. Sometimes, their strategies were militaristic, but more often they were diplomatic, spiritual, legal, and political. We S ha l l R e ma in A p ri l 2 0 09 o n WGBH 2

W
hen we officially opened our Brighton studios to the public last fall, we hoped . our environmentally friendly home would strengthen even further our deep . community ties. One year later, I’m pleased to report that the numbers more than bear that out. As I write, some 20,000 people have come through our doors for nearly 200 events, public screenings . and discussions, tours, live performances, donor celebrations, and more. And that’s testament, indeed, not only to our respect for our community, but to the community’s enthusiasm for our public service mission. That enthusiasm and generosity are what enable WGBH to make a creative difference . with groundbreaking initiatives like We Shall Remain (see cover story). This five-part television series—premiering on PBS stations nationwide in April 2009 in tandem with an ambitious . outreach campaign—will foster a greater understanding of, and respect for, Native history and culture. It’s an enormous collaborative undertaking, just one of a number of such WGBH . multimedia projects now in the works, and it’s possible only because of the support we get . from you, our most loyal friends—never more critical than now. In these pages, you’ll meet some of those friends who are passionate about “giving back” to WGBH. People like Simone Winston, who tells us why WGBH inspires her, and Lo Hartnett, . a familiar face to the WGBH family (on screen and off), whose life-income gift was sparked . by a desire to honor the place that’s given her so much. Thanks to their votes of confidence—and yours—WGBH is moving forward with innovative productions, on air and online, that truly serve the public interest.
“WGBH is moving forward with innovative productions that truly serve the public interest.”

ova has been a shining star in . the science universe for 35 years. And with some strategic guidance from a new advisory group, the award-. winning WGBH series will continue to . play a leadership role in advancing science education and literacy for the next 35. The secret of Nova’s success? “Our approach is simple,” says Paula Apsell, Senior Executive Producer of Nova . and Director of the WGBH Science Unit. . “We find drama in the stories that reveal the quirky brilliance and undaunted persistence of the people who so often pave the way for scientific progress.” “While our cable and commercial . competitors are tripping over each other for the best tsunami, the scariest shark, or the latest unsolved mystery,” Apsell continues, “Nova takes on the big questions—like string theory, evolution, and epigenetics—and gives them the time and care they require, on air and online.” Ensuring a secure foothold for Nova in today’s exploding media cosmos warrants some tactical planning. And that’s where the new Science Visiting Council comes in. “Given the alarming trends in science . literacy and their implications for our nation’s competitive prospects,” Apsell says, “Nova

Bulletin Outdoors with The Victory Garden
Dear RLS Supporters,
A
A glorious early summer evening brought a spirited group of Ralph Lowell Society supporters together with the creative team (including host and horticulturist Jamie Durie) from WGBH’s . The Victory Garden at Winston Flowers & Garden in Chestnut Hill. TV’s longest-running garden series has taken root with a greener focus, inspiring today’s busy gardeners to “live outdoors� with simple lessons that respect the environment (see For Simone Winston, Mission Matters, page 4).
ttending a Ralph Lowell Society event is an exciting way to meet other supporters, chat with PBS and NPR luminaries, . and stay connected to WGBH. If you were lucky enough to be at any of the RLS gatherings of recent months, you know ďŹ rsthand why our . get-togethers are so popular! We had a terriďŹ c time on a picture-perfect June evening at Winston Flowers & Garden . (see right), with Society member Simone Winston (see page 4) and the Winston family as our hosts. In the spectacular Chestnut Hill setting, the green thumbs among us dug . in for some advice from no less than Jamie Durie, horticulturist and series host of WGBH’s The Victory Garden. Also this summer, WGBH Trustee Silvia Gosnell opened her Cambridge home for a . provocative conversation with Frontline producers Michael Sullivan, Judith Vecchione, and Sue Williams, who shared their savvy about how the Frontline team shapes a season of the awardwinning WGBH independent journalism series. Meanwhile, over at One Guest Street, some curious RLS members went behind the scenes with illustrious Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson (see below right) before a special screening of Nova’s Lord of the Ants in WGBH’s Yawkey Theater. And WGBH has another don’t-miss season in store this fall, packed with programs that reect the impact of our annual support. WGBH productions of note include:
WGBH Trustee George and Assunta Cha with Victory Garden host Jamie Durie
Winston Flowers in abundance in Chestnut Hill
WGBH Overseer Oscar Malcolm and Sandy Stratford
Jamie Durie and Simone Winston
WGBH Overseer Mary Newman, Overseer Advisory Board member Cokie Perry, and Victory Garden Executive Producer Laurie Donnelly

Frontline: Heat, an investigation of how the world’s largest corporations and governments are responding to the Earth’s looming . environmental disaster (previewed at our annual RLS fall season premiere celebration, now available online at wgbh.org/frontline) Nova/The Bible’s Buried Secrets, a powerful exploration of science, scripture, scholarship, and the beginnings of modern religion (Tuesday, 11/18) T he Unseen Alistair Cooke: A Masterpiece Special about the fascinating, off-the-air life of the beloved WGBH host (Sunday, 11/23)
Indoors with the Professor Emeritus
As we approach the end of the calendar year, I want to thank all of you who’ve renewed your annual support, and send special kudos to those who’ve given beyond your usual contribution. I urge every RLS contributor who is able to consider increasing your giving level now to help WGBH enter 2009 from a position of strength. If you haven’t yet renewed your Society membership, or have any questions about your renewal date, please contact Society Director Zena Lum at 617.300.3806. Thanks for being part of our remarkable group of WGBH ambassadors. I look forward . to seeing you at the next RLS event. . Best regards for a fabulous fall!
E.O. Wilson’s fascination with little creatures has led the distinguished Harvard biologist to some very big ideas over a remarkable half-century career.

For Simone Winston, Mission Matters What are your passions in life?
My true current and surely future passion . is certainly my family. I also love to travel, . to be exposed to new places, people, and experiences. How does WGBH’s public-spirited mission mesh with your own worldview?
WGBH’s “mantra”—Produced in Boston, shared with the world—has prompted me to realize that sympathy, empathy, cooperation, and identification with a diverse range of people can make us all better citizens of the planet we share. You recently hosted a WGBH Victory Garden event at Winston Flowers & Garden in Chestnut Hill (see page 3). What was that like? Simone Winston
W
hen Simone Stedry left her . childhood home in Atlanta to attend Boston College, she couldn’t have known she’d never return to the South. The reason? A New Englander named Theodore “Ted” Winston—who already was out of school and running his family business, Winston Flowers—was to become her husband. Slow dissolve to the present, and the Winstons share a home in Chestnut Hill with their four children: . twins Teddy and Maxine (16), Travis (11), . and Jack (6). Simone, a WGBH Events Advisory Council member, has a robust . calendar of involvement with her children’s schools and other local charitable and educational activities. WGBH’s Diane Carasik Dion caught up with the busy Ralph Lowell Society member in early September, as she prepared her children for the new academic year. What’s on your short list of WGBH favorites?
I listen to WGBH Radio every day and . appreciate hearing perspectives on national and global issues from all over. On TV, I . particularly enjoy American Experience, . historical documentaries like The Jewish Americans, and, of course, The Victory Garden!
My husband and his brother have had a . longstanding relationship with The Victory Garden, and we were happy to open our “home” to the WGBH “family” and . supporters. It was a memorable evening . for everyone! How do you balance your schedule of charitable commitments with raising four children?
It’s a juggling act, but well worth it. What sparked your involvement with the Ralph Lowell Society?
A few years ago, my dear friend Lynn Bay Dayton, a WGBH Trustee and former RLS Chair, piqued my interest. Who could say “no” to Lynn?! I’ve happily continued on, because I’ve grown to thoroughly embrace the WGBH mission. Why have you made WGBH’s Ralph Lowell Society a priority in your philanthropic life?
Over time, Ted and I have focused our . philanthropic attention on a few organizations that we feel “speak” to us, WGBH high among them. These commitments continue to offer us an opportunity to connect with many amazing people in the community . and appreciate our own blessings.

Nantucket by Night . . . A cocktail reception at the Nantucket home of WGBH Trustee Chris McKown and Abby Johnson provided a beachfront backdrop for a celebration of WCAI, WGBH’s Cape and Islands NPR® Station, and its many services to the Nantucket community—as well as an intimate evening with NPR Senior News Analyst Cokie Roberts. Ann Gund, Barbara Hostetter, and WGBH Trustees Marjie Kargman and Maureen Ruettgers co-hosted the late-summer event, at which WGBH President Jon Abbott introduced Roberts, thanking the veteran political journalist for her “terrific NPR Morning Edition reports on WCAI and WGBH.”

Staying Connected on the Cape and Islands “ A sane and respectful place to talk. A precious community resource. An ear on the rest of the world.”
S
o declared Jay Allison, founder and . executive producer, with the 2000 debut . of WCAI, WGBH’s Cape and Islands NPR® Station. Eight years later, the public radio service has proven to be all that and more. When WGBH joined with Allison to launch WCAI, the goals were both simple and ambitious: bring previously underserved residents the best NPR news programming along with local series and reports that reflect the area’s unique voices and interests. WCAI has come a long way since, on radio and online, providing residents of the Cape, Islands and South Coast a bird’s-eye view of the remarkable region of Massachusetts they share, as well as a window on the larger world, through an inspired blend of local sounds and the best in NPR news and information. Along the way, WCAI has produced such award-winning series as Two Cape Cods: Hidden Poverty on the Cape and Islands, which took home . a duPont-Columbia Journalism Award (one of broadcasting’s most prestigious honors), and . The Price of Paradise: Working Lives on the Cape and Islands, a collection of investigative profiles that won a 2008 regional Edward R. Murrow . Award for best radio news series in New England. And many members of the WGBH family . on the Cape and Islands—year-round residents, those with second homes, and listeners tuning in online—have enthusiastically embraced the public radio service WGBH is providing. “WCAI keeps us connected with one another and the larger community we share,” says Margaret Ruttenberg. The WCAI Founders’ Circle member adds, “My husband, John, and I feel . public radio and television are the only broadcast outlets left that we can trust to be uninfluenced . by corporate ownership.” Anne Gifford, also of . the Founders’ Circle, seconds that. “WCAI makes our time on Nantucket more interesting and . more informed!”
WCAI serves upper Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard on 90.1, Nantucket on 91.1, the lower and mid-Cape (from Hyannis to Provincetown) on 94.3, and is online at capeandislands.org. To learn more about WCAI, contact Susan Loucks at 617.300.2380 or susan_loucks@wgbh.org.

Giving Back to Move WGBH Forward . . . with Impact
W
GBH inspires people who are passionate about our public service mission . to “give back” in a variety of generous ways. Life-income gifts and commitments to the WGBH Endowment are two popular choices. For Lorraine (Lo) Hartnett, a familiar face onand off-screen at WGBH, the life-income gift option made the most sense. The Revere resident began an 18-year WGBH tenure in 1972 as a volunteer in the Zoom mailroom and rose to become WGBH’s director of development. Now an independent fundraising consultant, Hartnett still volunteers her time as . Lo Hartnett on-air talent at WGBH. And still remembers the place that “enabled me to realize a rewarding career—at WGBH in Boston, WGBY . in Springfield, and in the larger PBS universe.” Longtime WGBH supporters, Hartnett . and her husband, Paul, decided a gift annuity . to WGBH’s Becton Fund was an ideal way to . give back to an institution they care intensely about—while simultaneously receiving an income . stream for life.
The Becton Fund, created to honor the legacy of excellence that Henry Becton stewarded during his 38-year WGBH tenure (24 as president), allows WGBH to award fellowships to the next generation of public broadcasting talent. And that’s just fine by Lo, whose generosity will be recognized with a named seat in WGBH’s Yawkey Theater. “Helping to carry on Henry’s legacy, while also seeding future WGBH programs and services,” she says, “is doubly meaningful for this proud alum.” For others interested in providing WGBH with a permanent source of support, a bequest is an appropriate choice. The Talbots are one such couple. Dr. Nathan B. Talbot (1909-1994) was a distinguished pediatric endocrinologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, remembered . by his Harvard Medical School faculty colleagues as a community-spirited man of many talents, . “a dedicated humanist physician and decisive leader who steadfastly lived by his principles.” Together, Nate and his wife, Anne Perry Talbot (1916-2007), made WGBH a philanthropic priority for more than 25 years, citing its “being at the . forefront of truly meaningful public broadcasting.”. The Brookline couple left WGBH a significant
