Dispersion and dissipation are inherent to electromagnetic wave propagation in metamaterials. We show that these inherent limitations can be overcome by a self-induced transparency pulse that stably propagates through a metamaterial sparsely doped with resonantly absorbing dopants. This pulse has the form of a hitherto unexplored backward soliton. We discuss the observable signature of this soliton.
