The Canary Effect
Unified Carpinterians kick off their Native American education series by supporting the Native American Awareness Club and its presentation of Chumash art and music, along with the screening of The Canary Effect, including a panel discussion
When: Friday, June 20, 2008, 6 p.m.
Where: Carpinteria Arts Ctr., 855 Linden Ave., Carpinteria, CA
Cost: Not available
Age limit: Not available
Categories: Citizen's Alert
Description: The evening will begin with a blessing/prayer ritual by an elder of the Chumash tribe. There will be a clapper sticks presentation and a variety of Chumash art will be on display. A panel discussion is scheduled for 7:15 p.m., followed by the showing of “The Canary Effect,” an award-winning documentary on the historic realities of American Indians, at 8:15 p.m. And as Native American custom dictates, refreshments will be provided.
“This issue (misuse of Native American imagery) is not a local issue but a national one,” said co-organizer Frank Arredondo of the Native American Awareness Club. “This imagery has negative connotations outside of the local community and it facilitates a negative perception. That is something that is damaging nationwide.”
