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.
