Haawka, Miiyuyum, Miyaxwen, Miyaxwe. Thank you for tuning in and showing your support for our news broadcast in 2023. This program has been primarily funded by the dedicated volunteer hours of the Condor Visual Media staff and a fellowship program provided by our partners at CSA.
Tribal Nations News is dedicated to highlighting the truths within our diverse Tribal Nations in Southern California. Throughout this endeavor, we have documented and produced 30 short videos, aired one broadcast episode, and provided hands-on training to one apprentice, equipping them with the necessary skills to create their own videos.
We strongly believe in providing education and news without advertisements. Our commitment to truth and inclusivity remains unwavering. As we continue to invest in and expand this venture, we welcome and value guidance and constructive criticism. Navigating the complexities of our diverse communities is not an easy task, but it is a privilege to document and preserve remarkable moments in time. The actions we take today will be remembered as history a hundred years from now, and as the saying goes, you are the ancestors of the future, so let us do what is right.
Our fellow and TNN Co-Director, Levi Anthony Hill, has been learning alongside the co-owners of Condor Visual Media, Andrew James Pittman and Lisset Valencia-Pittman. Levi initially volunteered for three months and then transitioned into a fellowship program with a grant from the Climate Science Alliance. Levi has demonstrated significant growth in camera operation and video editing skills. He is a proud member of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel.
