1491s : Wounded White Warrior Savior Photographer

If you've been following my blog for a while you will know that I have been educating myself about Indigenous history and issues. I'm just nearing completing the University of Alberta Indigenous Canada course.

In the final module (#12), which talks about Indigenous art, they introduce a comedy troupe called 1491s. I visited the 1491s YouTube site and found this hilarious gem... Wounded White Warrior Savior Photographer. Hope you enjoy.

Casey Eagle Speaker talks

Last week I went to a talk that Casey Eagle Speaker (Sorrel Horse) gave on Native spirituality at the Wild Rose United Church. A two-part series, the talk on Wednesday was about beliefs. The next one in two weeks will be about ritual.

Casey Eagle Speaker has given these talks before and I found videos posted on YouTube. They are worth watching. Session 1 is pretty much the same as the talk he gave at Wild Rose. I haven't watched Session 2, yet.

Very cool basic video on What is Photography... More findings while trolling the Net for free courses.

A Quick History of Photography

Spent the day trolling the Internet for free online courses and found a bunch of interesting basic lessons on YouTube's Creative Commons.  This is the first one... A Quick History of Photography.

Much of this I've already learned in courses I've taken at ACAD and SAIT.  So, in essence, I've just saved you hundreds of dollars. : )
