Host First Nations welcome guests

Comment:  The first video is an excellent example of how to show the richness and diversity of today's Native people. Check it out.

In Seeing Indians Is Believing, I said even a good movie isn't enough to educate people about Indians. This is about as close as a movie can come to representing the idea that Indians are alive and thriving.

It's fun and catchy, so it's easy to watch. And at only 3:19, the message is short and to the point--therefore effective.

I'd be curious to show this video in a class and test its effectiveness. I bet it would compare favorably to textbooks, presentations, and other forms of classroom learning.
