Link TV 4Real: Pawnee Nation

by on Jan.07, 2011, under JOURNAL: Nature, art, cultural perspectives

In this film, actor Casey Affleck and hip hop artist Sol Guy visit the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. They meet Crystal Echo Hawk and NVision, an outreach organization working on and off the rez to empower Native youth by reinforcing traditional values.

The guests interview tribal members and hang out with the local kids, getting different perspective of what it means to be a Pawnee. They get a crash-course in Pawnee history from the time of the removals, to the boarding school era, to the issues being faced by modern reservations.

About Me

I am a freelance artist living in Arkansas, US, specializing in historical portraits of American Indians. I blog about the portrayal and influence of Native Americans in art, history, and the media.

I am fascinated by history and world cultures, ancient and modern, and particularly indigenous peoples. My other interests include wildlife ecology, environmental issues & sustainability, journalism, photography, web design & development. I enjoy music and reading (see my book list here).

You can see some of my pastel work, and my drawings in charcoal and graphite, by visiting my online Gallery.
