Culture and Connection_ An Intersection of Indigenous Excellence
Show Details
In this mini-documentary, two special events highlighting Native American culture last summer, a coastal jam at Milwaukie High School and a powwow at Happy Valley Middle School, are the centerpieces of a discussion of the importance of keeping Native history, traditions and culture alive and flourishing and supporting and valuing the Native students in our schools.
The coastal jam, powwow and documentary were created in partnership with the Native Wellness Institute, North Clackamas Schools and Clackamas ESD and made possible by a generous grant from the Oregon Department of Education as part of the American Indian/Alaska Native Student Success Plan. Documentary was produced, directed and edited by Austyn Steelman with photography and creative direction by Tomás Karmelo Amaya.
