Submitted by rick on Sat, 03/13/2010 - 19:47.

Native Lens teaches digital filmmaking and media
skills to indigenous youth as a form of self-expression, cultural preservation,
and social change. We believe in Native youth telling their own stories
about life, culture, and community, and understand the power of this process
to change peoples’ lives. Native Lens is engaged in strong partnerships
with multiple tribes and Native organizations/schools to offer on-going
workshops to Native youth both on and off reservations. In addition we
offer consultations and workshops for teachers, schools, and organizations
interested in utilizing digital storytelling and youth media in their
community.  read more »
