The Seventh Generation Fund is pleased to announce the first in a  
series of three trainings that will be offered to Native Communities  
in Northern, Central, and Southern California who are interested in  
utilizing digital media technology to create their own culturally  
appropriate educational materials. The goal is to encourage an  
intergenerational learning environment which will empower youth,  
elders and community leaders to document their own unique tribal  
histories, cultural traditions, languages and critical contemporary  
issues. Participants will aquire the skills to engineer interview  
sessions and produce multi-media presentations for their tribal  
community, public school teachers/educators, Native education  
centers, charter schools, museums, libraries and other appropriate  
groups.
