Combine 21 young people and
$75,000 and what do you get? A
tobacco prevention program designed
and produced by Siletz Tribal youth.
These young people are developing
a video, brochure, poster, and Web
site as part of the American Legacy
Foundation tobacco education
media project.
Above: Shane Brown, Toni Wiecks, Kyle Towner, Rhiannon Hamel, Bill
Wadhams, and Apples Lane work on the tobacco prevention video.
Left: DeAnna Pearl and Robbie Williams set up the camera.
This is part of Legacy’s $21 million
grant program to strengthen existing
tobacco prevention and cessation
efforts and create new strategies for
addressing tobacco-related health
disparities among American Indians
and Alaska Natives. The youth and their
projects include:

Several youth spent two days in a
studio in Portland, Ore., recording a
song written by Shane and sung by
Shane and Apples. While these two
were recording, other youth filmed
scenes for the video in a second studio.
Apples stated, “When I was asked
to sing, I thought it was a good idea
because I sing sometimes at school and
at church, but I’ve never really sang
specifically for a good reason such as
this project. I thought it would be a good
way to get the message accross because
a lot of people like music.”
The youth have received a bit of
help from some adults, including
De Anna Pearl, American Legacy Media
Project coordinator; Tom Wiecks from
The Creative Department in Portland;
