Dave and others interested in videos focussing on aboriginal communities.

I just returned from an Even Start meeting where I met Jacqueline C. Tagaban,
an Early Childhood Development Specialist in Juneau, Alaska.  She and her
colleagues have made 12 of the most beautiful videos that you will ever see.
Twelve more are in the editing stages, and 12 more after that are in the
planning stages.  The ones that are completed include a series called Parent's
Journal: Pregnancy and Childbirth; Baby's First Year: Growth and Development;
Toddler Care; Toddler Development.  Family Feathers includes Preschool and
Early Education; Social Development; Literacy and Multigenerational Grief.  All
the videos are focused on Native People of Alaska.

They have not begun to sell these outside their home state yet, but they will
be ready soon to offer these to others.
Here is an address where you might inquire:
Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska
320 West Willoughby Ave  Suite 300
Juneau, Alaska 99801

All the best,
Meta Potts
Glendale, AZ
