"The Life of William Shelton" Documentary

This video is a preview of a documentary titled The Life of William Shelton, a Tulalip Indian. This project was seeking funding via a Kickstarter page, and although the funding period has expired, an update there states that the project will continue as the film's producers seek loans and grants.

Hopefully, the film will be completed, as an hour long documentary would be a fascinating watch and a great tool to spread the word about one of the Pacific Northwest's most undersung heroes.

Emerging Maps: "Bury My Heart at Walmart"

"Bad Indians" by Ryan Red Corn.

I came across this video (made in 2009) during my class work recently, and even though it's not directly related to the Everett area or any local Native tribes, I found it to be a very striking and effective poem/film ... so I thought I'd share it here. Self-expression and the embracing of new and diverse voices is an essential part of new map making.
