This section is a celebration of Native joy, creativity, history, and wisdom expressed on media. All the authors, directors, poets, artists and musicians are Native except for a few non-Natives who are included for their understanding and support of the Native world view. Angie Debo, Ron Parks, Howard Zinn, Keith Basso, and Jerry Mander always represent Native people as fully realized equals. Enjoy these amazing achievements of artistry, insight, and wit.
