In 1989, twenty five adult survivors of various Native American boarding and residential schools in both the United States and Canada gathered at the Alkali Lake Indian Reserve in British Columbia, Canada to attend a four-day intensive workshop on healing the hurt and shame of the demeaning Native boarding school experience. This documentary takes an intimate look at the painful but rewarding healing process. The boarding school system was established, in both the United States and Canada, to forcibly assimilate Native peoples into mainstream society. A major force for breaking the cultures and traditions, this system stripped the Native peoples of role models and skills for healthy parenting and family life, leaving them instead institutionalized with models for low self-esteem and abuse.
"Healing the Hurts" is part of the "First Peoples' TV" series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.

Information Week, 7/22/02, By John Foley
On June 17, the day after Father's Day, I got a book in the mail from my mom, the most wonderful person I've ever known--she raised seven children, six of us boys--but someone whose increasingly conservative views don't match my own. At first I thought it was a gift, but when I saw the book jacket, "Coloring The News: How Crusading For Diversity Has Corrupted American Journalism," by William McGowan (Encounter Books, 2001), I knew better. Mom was sending hard-copy proof to support her side of an argument we'd had a few weeks earlier about the state of journalism or, as she would say, the sorry state of the liberal media. Chalk one up for Mom.
It's not the only time lately I've heard less-than-flattering views of my profession. There's a widening group of Web devotees who think they, through the power of their own observations and unfiltered analysis, can provide a better alternative to the traditional media. They're using electronic publishing tools to create Web pages, called weblogs, or blogs for short, that are heavy on opinion and that link to other Web pages to support their points. Link enough blogs, the thinking goes, and you get a far-reaching network of insightful views that diminishes the need for conventional media.
For most people, though, blogs won't be a replacement for conventional news outlets. It's more likely that bloggers and journalists will use the tools and techniques of weblogging to create complementary informational channels. Freewheeling thinkers and far-flung experts will link to the Web sites of news organizations, creating a real-time, interactive content matrix that's better than the sum of its parts. Journalists such as Dan Gillmor (http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/ siliconvalley/ business/ columnists/ dan_gillmor/ ejournal), a columnist for the San Jose Mercury News, and Andrew Sullivan (http://www.andrewsullivan.com), a writer for the New Republic and other publications, have created blogs, where they work outside the scope of print media, saying different things in new ways to more people.
