Internet Wisdom Education Expansion
What we have accomplished:
The Internet Wisdom Education Program (i-WE) has made great progress on achieving its original goals. Six of the Natural Way Speaker Events have been converted into DVD documentary format and some of our DVD’s include speaker interviews. In addition, the website has been redesigned for easy navigation and informative entertainment. Also, YouTube excerpts of our documentaries can be viewed by everyone. The videos are being donated to schools and non-profit organizations and are also available for purchase by anyone who is interested. Our target DVD donations include Native American Schools, Health and Substance Recovery Centers, Earth-based and Wilderness Awareness curriculums and Cultural Awareness education.
Our Goals:
DVD sales will benefit the Natural Way Program further supporting our financial sustainability. As our website expands we will continue to develop new i-WE documentaries from our growing body of recordings of the Indigenous Voices Speaker Series. One of our most important goals so to create a website that is enjoyable for all age groups and navigable by all skill levels.
i-WE is currently placing 5-10 minute excerpts of our finished DVD’s on YouTube. Once all of the YouTube highlights are in place, more bandwidth through our host server will be required in order to make the entire documentaries available online. This will necessitate further website development and higher maintenance costs.
Eventually, we intend to broaden our scope to obtain material for internet Wisdom Education. To fulfill our mission we will travel to where the Indigenous Elders, Spiritual Leaders, Story Tellers and Speakers are living and working. Because many of our elders and their knowledge are dying without the opportunity to pass on their teachings to future generations, we can then increase the pace of the i-WE documentary process.
