Wow - that is awesome news - I would love to get a look at that doc - there are so many stories to be told - I am ecstatic that we as Native people are finally becoming comfortable enough to allow the world to see the real us - when we take the time to document us this way - we are preserving our history for many generations - we are allowing the 7th generation to truly understand what we are living - and how - without speculation - along with the rest of the world - kudos to those students..... blessings to each and every person that made that happen.. keep up the great work.
