"The Coyote Who Stole The Stars"
The Coyote Who Stole the Stars is a short, cultural film that was made by some of
the youth in Grand Ronde last summer with the help and supervision of the Northwest Film
Center and the Grand Ronde Tribe.
The project included two days of video instruction, four days of filming, and three
days of editing. The kids camped out and filmed on Spirit Mountain one night.
The film was featured last month at the Northwest Film Festival in Portland. Those
youth who participated in making the video are: Amelia Haug, Tana Ainsworth, Tamara
Ainsworth, Samson George, Solomon George, Tashina Kennedy, Teresa Henry, Diana
Robertson, Charles Kneeland, Brandon Robertson, Bryan Kinslow, Krystal Schmid, Dustin
Billings, and Winema Wolf.
The film was produced by the Tribal Human Services Division and the Northwest
Film Center.
Special thanks to all the adults who helped: Cultural Consultant Bill White Eagle
Wilson, Sharon Genasci, Vernon Kennedy, Duane Many-Hides, Bonnie Tom, Dan Leone,
Kit Devine, Jerry Brandon, Jess Robertson, Gary George, Thomas Ainsworth and Shawn
Hostler.
