Gary Farmer against drunk driving

NDNs don't let NDNs Drive DrunkPublic Service Announcement aimed at American Indians, and other indigenous peoples, against drunk driving. Features actor Gary Farmer (from Sherman Alexie's movie Smoke Signals), who is legendary for his lead role in the film Powwow Highway.

Comment:  I believe the narrator is Floyd Red Crow Westerman.

At one point the narrator says alcohol "has killed more Indians than war, disease, and crime." Well, maybe, except for the war and disease part.

I'm pretty sure disease is the no. 1 killer of Indians in US history. War may be no. 2, although you probably could make a good case for poverty. I doubt alcohol is higher than no. 3 or 4.

Carole, though I would like to see that commercial, my equipment reports that no update software is available on real player to run the commercial. Since I don’t know how to switch default players (to writer fella, a computer mostly is a large, oversizes and complicated typewriter), how would I get to that website and watch the commercial there?

Nowadays People are more addicted to the drugs and alcohol because of their worries in day today life. They don’t know how they are going to be affected by addiction.

Depending on the complexity of the problem, you should be prepared to spend perhaps weeks, or even months, analyzing and responding to it. Carefully studying a problem before responding helps you design the right strategy, one that is most likely to work in your community. You should not blindly adopt the responses others have used; you must decide whether they are appropriate to your local situation. What is true in one place may not be true elsewhere; what works in one place may not work everywhere.
