TUCSON, Ariz., Sept 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Native Nation Building, the acclaimed ten-part television and radio program developed by the Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy (NNI) at The University of Arizona (UA), is now available for purchase in CD or DVD format.
Featuring roundtable interviews with accomplished Native political, business and community leaders as well as noted scholars and educators, the program chronicles the growing number of nation-building success stories currently taking hold across Indian Country and explores the roots of those successes.
"Native Nation Building shares with Native people, as well as the general public, the governance and development lessons that NNI has learned through two decades of community-based research with Native nations," said NNI director Manley A. Begay, Jr., a citizen of the Navajo Nation.
"The series examines where, how, and why nation building is currently taking place in Native communities, in particular the fundamental issues governing Native nations' efforts to exercise their sovereignty, restore their economic vitality, and shape their own futures," said Begay.
Native Nation Building examines how Native nations are building effective governments, developing strong economies that fit a variety of cultures and circumstances, solving difficult social problems, and balancing cultural integrity and change -– just a few of the challenging questions facing contemporary American Indian, Alaska Native, and Canadian First Nation governments.
The series, which debuted in January, is being broadcast on tribal radio and public television and radio stations across North America. The CD version (audio) of the series is available for $20 for individuals or $40 for organizations, and the DVD version (video) is available for $35 for individuals or $70 for organizations.
The series was produced by NNI in conjunction with the UA's KUAT MultiMedia, with financial support from the Morris K. Udall Foundation, Flintco Constructive Solutions, and the Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation's Economic Development Corporation.
