"The innate drive to become an artist is a way of life that has
compelled me to be nothing other than an artist. We are
experiencing a new generation of progressive American Indian artists
who are utilizing today's worldwide mediums of art...to express and
preserve the dignity, the traditions and beauty of our Indian
people." - Randy Kemp

In The Footsteps of Yellow Woman
26 minutes • 2009
“In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman” © 2009 is a 26 minute film by
a teen director (Camille Manybeads Tso) exploring her Navajo
ancestry. She imagines what it would be like to be her
Great-Great-Grandmother, Yellow Woman, who lived through the Navajo
Long Walk of 1864 – 1868.
The re-enactments were performed by the descendants of Yellow Woman and filmed in many of the places where the historical events actually took place.

Repeal Coalition
Repeal Coalition is a grassroots immigration organization that is fighting for the freedom of all people, to live, love and work anywhere they please. By working directly with effected communities we promote community empowerment and resistance against ALL anti-immigrant laws.
Each of us is connected to and dependent on all humanity, collectively and individually. In a world that keeps trying to push us apart, we need each other more than ever. Now is the time to stand in solidarity with one another and go forward to work to make the world a place where our humanity is no longer threatened by those who wish to keep us apart.
It is with this in mind that we ask you to join us February 25th-27th for the 10th Annual Teach-In: Solidarity Through Knowledge & Action.
We are planning even more panels, workshops and plenary sessions with emphasis on alliances and agency, indigenous perspectives, sustainable living, border issues, and organizing strategies for social justice in the Southwest and globally.
Scheduled speakers include Camilo Pérez-Bustillo from Mexico City Autonomous University and Nancy Meyer from 9-11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows (relatives of 9-11 victims working for peace and social justice). We also look forward to the 4th year of programming planned by youth groups for children ages 3 - 17.
