Following is some information on the broadcast that I have just received
from the producers of the P.O.V. series:
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 1995 14:25:39 -0700
To: native-l@gnosys.svle.ma.us
From: ewagley@pov.org (Elizabeth Wagley)
P.O.V., Public Television's award-winning non-fiction film series, invites
questions, comments, and discussion about LIGHTING THE 7TH FIRE, an
examination of the racism, fear, and misunderstanding that erupted in
Northern Wisconsin when the Chippewa Indians regained the spear-fishing
rights that had been denied them for over a century. The national broadcast
date is July 4th; check listings or call your public TV station for local
broadcast dates and times.
To join an "electronic mailing list" where the film and the issues it raises
will be discussed, send a message to: majordomo@igc.apc.org. In the body
of the message type "subscribe pov-fire."
Filmmaker Sandra Sunrising Osawa documents the experience of the Chippewa
people as they face the harrasment and hatered of an angry community
determined to deny them access to their traditional fishing territories.
Nonbroadcast cassettes are distributed by Upstream Productions, Inc. (420
1st Ave. West, Seattle, WA 98119, phone 206-281-9177 fax 206-284-6963).
This mailing list is one component of P.O.V. Interactive, a model project
designed to explore the potential use of on-line technologies (including an
interactive Web site- http://www.pbs.org/pov) to transform television into a
catalyst for lively and thoughtful interchange. For more information send
