Organizations offer free streaming of 40 Native films featured on PBS LINCOLN, Neb. – The same year our nation celebrated its bicentennial and President Ford proclaimed a week in Octo- ber as Native American Awareness Week, six Native producers in public television met to charter the Native American Pub- lic Broadcasting Consortium (NAPBC), later known as Native American Public Telecommunications (NAPT) and now Vision Maker Media. It was 1976 when these Native pro- ducers began to cultivate interest among American Indian Tribes to participate in developing their own media, which led to the initiation of several Tribal media projects. One such project from 1986, American Indian Artists, was a three-part series featuring the art and lives of Dan Namingha (Hopi/Tewa), Jaune Quick-To- See Smith (Shoshone/French/Cree) and Larry Golsh (Pala Mission Indian). In those 40 years, our organization has created more than 500 films, awarded $11 million to independent producers and held hundreds of film-screening events across the nation. Our films inspire people to look at the world through indigenous eyes and encourage young warriors to embrace their rich culture as part of their identity. In celebration of Vision Maker Media’s 40 th anniversary, a collection of 40 films will be available for free stream- ing beginning Nov. 1 and ending Aug. 7, 2017. Each week, a different film will be available on visionmakermedia.org and americanarchive.org.
