The Native American Voices video project, completed in 2011, was conducted by exhibition curator Lucy Fowler Williams with support from the Annenberg Foundation and Gregory Annenberg Weingarten. Dr. Williams hired Hopi journalist, Patty Talahongva and her Phoenix based film crew, and traveled to four U.S. locations to conduct 25 first-person interviews with Native American artists, activists, scholars, and youth in their home communities. The following films highlight important issues that emerged from those discussions. Portions of these videos are presented in the Native American Voices exhibition.
Highlighting the Native American youth of Bridgeton, New Jersey, Dance With Me: The Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indians of New Jersey reveals this small Tribe's struggles and hopes for its future. The film explores the importance of the Christian Church, recent successes in securing Tribal lands, and the need for Tribal youth to get active to hold on to what is theirs.
