'Growing Native', New NAPT TV Series
Tulalip Tribes Of Washington Support NAPT's New TV Series With A Major Underwriting Gift
Native American Public Telecommunications, Inc. (NAPT) proudly announces the major support of its newest upcoming television series, "Growing Native", by the Tulalip Tribes (pronounced Tuh'-lay-lup) of Washington.
In August 2010, the Tulalip Tribes gave a $35,000 Charity Fund Award in support of the KCTS Television-Seattle and NAPT's pilot for Growing Native, an exciting, new 13-part television series. Growing Native is a cultural travelogue that explores Native America, its peoples, cultures, foods and Tribal traditions.
The 13 half-hour episodes will take viewers on adventures throughout Indian Country. The series will explore Tribal communities, the Native people who live there and spotlight some of the major cultural events that bring tourism and world travelers to Indian Country.
"We are thrilled to partner with NAPT and our PBS affiliate to promote modern Native American culture," said Mel Sheldon, Chairman of the Tulalip Tribes. "Native American Tribes are an economic, cultural and environmental force in this country. Our own efforts to restore fishing, hunting and gathering in the Northwest have led to innovative programs that benefit the Tribes, the region and the economy. We look forward to sharing this and other Native American accomplishments through this important series," said Sheldon.
In addition to the upcoming broadcast series, NAPT is developing an abundance of educational resources to be available on their soon-to-be-launched educational microsite. NAPT plans to deliver certified, educational content that meets national curriculum standards for the classroom.
"Our goal is to promote accurate information about Native people within public, private and Tribal school systems, in addition to higher education entities," said Brendan McCauley, Project Coordinator for NAPT.
Growing Native will visit places and people who are practicing sustainable aquaculture and agriculture while reclaiming indigenous foods. The series will also showcase the increasing the use of renewable energy. Viewers will be taken on an intimate journey through the beauty of the land--following ancient trade routes across county from the East Coast to the Great Plains and onward into the Southwest and Pacific Northwest--while enriching their lives through the cultural exploration of the footage documented in this new series.
"Growing Native is a fascinating look at how Native Americans have maintained their cultures while borrowing elements of modern society. NAPT is so thankful to the Tulalip Tribes of Washington for their generous support to bring this educational and informative series into living rooms and classrooms everywhere," said Shirley K. Sneve, Executive Director for NAPT.
The benefits of Growing Native are numerous. The series will promote tourism, raise the profile of Indian Country and most importantly, promote accurate stories utilizing Tribal museums and other educational institutions.
