6 videos • 782 views • by Penn Museum Penn Museum's Native American Voices Video project, completed in 2011, was conducted over fourteen months with support from the Annenberg Foundation and Gregory Annenberg Weingarten. The project resulted in the creation of Postindian Warriors: Creating A New Consciousness in Native America, five short videos about contemporary Native America for inclusion in the long-term exhibition Native American Voices: The People -- Here and Now, to open at the Penn Museum in March 2014, with an accompanying website. Project Curator Lucy Fowler Williams of Penn Museum co-produced the films with Hopi journalist, Patty Talahongva and a Phoenix based film crew. The project team traveled to four U.S. locations to conduct 25 first person interviews with Native American artists, activists, scholars and youth in their home communities. Five 8 minute films were produced to highlight important themes that emerged from the discussions.
