Raise Awareness and Help End the Epidemic of Violence against Native Women in the U.S.—Please Share this Video from the Indian Law Resource Center
Native women are murdered at 10 times the national rate; 1 out 3 Native women will be raped in her lifetime, and 3 out of 5 physically assaulted. Even worse, 88% of the perpetrators are non-Indian and cannot be prosecuted by tribal governments. Stand and take action now to restore safety and justice for Native women. Do Something! Visit www.indianlaw.org.
A video poem made for the www.indianlaw.org. Written, performed and directed by Ryan Red Corn. The video was made in the hopes that lawmakers will take notice of the atrocious legal protection Indigenous women have. Call your leaders in Washington today and tell them to DO SOMETHING.

Indigenous in the City - 8th Fire
The 8th Fire debut at the 2011 Winnipeg Aboriginal Film Festival was well attended and very well received. I definitely recommend watching the series beginning in January. A lot of great contributors and a lot of great stories.
“Indigenous in the City” definitely struck a chord with not only Aboriginal Youth, but many non-Aboriginal audience in attendance. The structure of the film spoke to the struggles and legacy of indigenous people in Canada, but it did it in a way that instilled pride and showed hope to the future of relationships of Aboriginal People with Canada.
I am very much looking forward to future documentaries as well as all the new media and online content.

Wapos Bay: Long Goodbyes is a great film! Based on the longtime series on APTN, the movie filled audiences with delight and did not dissapoint. The World Premiere was broadcast across the globe with isuma.tv and had further strengthened the popularity of the family stop-motion animation series.
To watch the movie, tune in to APTN December 3rd 2011 for the Network Television Premiere.
