This student directed project honors the teaching and life of Daniel Brown. It was produced through SHI’s program Sharing our Stories: Voices on the Land, which provides literacy-based, artist residencies in 4th and 5th grade classrooms with Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian languages and cultural values forming the basis of instruction. Through the program, students integrate visual, performing, and digital arts with traditional knowledge and learn to create videos such as this one.
Through a collaboration with SHI, project director Linda Frame, 5th grade students, and Wright worked with filmmaker Scott Burton to produce this mini documentary. The students were integral to the project, as they operated cameras, and conducted and gave interviews, and assisted with postproduction. We think that together they created a gem that allows people to witness the magic that happens when cultural icons such as Daniel Brown weave Tlingit culture into schools.
Directed by Evee Hoochstoeger, Sachiko Marks, and Tytus Elledge (USA)
