Over the last several months many people at Little Earth of United Tribes here in Minneapolis have been working hard to spread the word about MediaWise® in their community. Several of our tools and resources from MediaWise program through-u-Families Become MediaWise have been translated into Objibway to help in this effort. Topics of concern for parents range from Internet safety and cell phone usage, to violence in movies, TV and video games.
Last Saturday the Institute was honored at Little Earth’s annual Mother’s Day Pow Wow. We say thank you for bringing MediaWise into your community and are grateful for the honor you gave to us. Hundreds of people with their families gathered for a day of dancing and visiting with friends and family. Drum groups from around the region led the day. The MediaWise message has found a good home at Little Earth.
