2010 Native Youth Media and Tech Workshops

June 9, 2010 @ 8:00 am - August 9, 2010 @ 5:00 pm

In 2010, we expanded our outreach and traveled to tribes in Oklahoma, Arizona and California. Each tribe produced incredible films that shared genuine insight into their community, their history and their issues effecting them the most.

In June, we partnered with the Ponca Tribe in White Eagle, Oklahoma and worked with several youth on numerous pieces. Ponca youth created films about their history and made several comedic shorts. Check out images from their productions:
