Indian Pride cultural magazine spotlights diverse cultures
INDIAN PRIDE, an American Indian cultural magazine television series will
spotlight the diverse cultures of American Indian people throughout the
country. The 13-part magazine series will focus on a specific theme each
week that will be of interest to all people. Programs will highlight Indian
treaties and sovereignty, spirituality, health and healing, culture and
celebrations, as well as the coverage of critical issues of government,
economic development, politics and education. Each 30-minute episode will
include three distinct segments: mini-documentaries shot on location at
events held on reservations and around other parts of Indian country;
in-studio segments featuring discussion of current issues by nationally-known
American Indian guests; and original and cultural performances featuring
traditional and contemporary artists, as well as storytellers.
A content rich web site at www.indianpridepbs.org
offers educational resources, including lesson plans, and links to other
American Indian web sites.
Prairie Public Broadcasting will premiere its newest local television
production, INDIAN PRIDE, at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum
of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. in January. The broadcast premiere
of the 13-part television cultural magazine is set for Friday, February
2, 2006 at 8:00 p.m. (CT). The show will air Fridays at 8:00 p.m. (CT).
