Hi Randy,
Wondering if you will be showing your film other than PBS. I just finished going to the San Diego Film festival last weekend and thought I'd love to see it at this Festival next year. This years documentary winner was "Semper Fi". Have you heard of this film? Congratulations on this film and looking forward to seeing your film. (when I was a child before coming to the US I placed in an orphanage for almost 2 years so this film has a personal meaning to me).

Congratulations!!
Creator Sharon A. Fox on August 31, 2011
My good friend is Sacheen Littlefeather and if she had not filled me in on some of the history surrounding some of the issues dealt with in this film I would still be ignorant of this very sad time in our shared history. Thank you so much for putting all the love, time and passion into this wonderful story. I really wish you well and wish you many blessings. Peace, Sharon
Creator Randy Vasquez on August 31, 2011
Thank you Dianne. I'm beginning to see at another new level how big this subject matter actually is made apparent by some of the supporters responses. Sometimes in the heat of making a film one can lose sight of the scope.

Creator Dianne Riley on August 30, 2011
Walter and Randy - So brilliant, what you are doing! Congratulations and thank you for bringing us along!!! Hopefully the funds will continue to come during the time remaining and I'm looking forward to the success that flows from there ...Peace...

Congratulations!
Creator Randy Vasquez on August 28, 2011
Thank you so much Christina! It's looking good. Much appreciated. Walter's story will make this world a better place. Simple as that.
Creator Christina Hernandez on August 28, 2011
Have been posting the link constantly on both facebook & twitter! Hope goal is met in time!
Creator Randy Vasquez on August 27, 2011
Christina!
Thank you so much for your support! JAG was a great experience for me and meeting, such a classy lady, was such a blessing. This film will have an impact when it airs on PBS. The story of the Indian boarding school abuses and the part they played in attempting to end their cultures speaks to many things today.
Thanks for spreading the word at this point, 5 more days! It's crucial.
Take care,
Randy
Creator Christina Hernandez on August 27, 2011
Hi Randy! First found out about kickstarter w/ Catherine Bell's project. (Of course, JAG fan here) Think this is a cool way to raise money for projects while getting your fans involved. Just found out about your project this morning on Facebook. Just put a pledge in towards it. Wish I could give more but what I gave is about as high as I can go right now. I hope the goal gets met & this interesting story gets told. I pretty much like all things history so I would be interested in seeing your project get told. Have passed on the link on both twitter & facebook several times.
Creator Caleb Dunlap on August 26, 2011
Randy, I support this project, this purpose, and the process of healing. My grandparents and great-grandparents all were sent off to boarding schools. Whether a person had a good or horrific experience...the overall story of the brutality and reality MUST be told. Chi miigwech (thank you very much in Ojibwe) to Walter for having the courage to share your story. May this be a part of your great legacy. This pledge is on behalf of Caleb & Jared Dunlap...members of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, UCLA Native Graduates of 2009, and most importantly the carriers of the history of our own family and their boarding school experiences. May we all process this, progress, and heal as a people.
~Caleb & Jared Dunlap
Ps. Would love to have coffee & red velvet cake with Walter & Jane someday when I am in the area.
Creator Angie Wickers Cummins Farmer on August 26, 2011
Momemtum picking up !!! YAAAAAAA !!!!
Creator Angie Wickers Cummins Farmer on August 25, 2011
Gracious offer from Walter & Jane. Can't match but may do a little more if possible. I too would like to see this on PBS. Cake & coffee does sound tempting.
Creator Nancy Bierfeldt on August 24, 2011
Well, I tried to match Walter and then some, primarily because I would love to see this come to fruition--I won't hold Jane to the coffee and cake if I ever get back out there to visit you both!
Creator Randy Vasquez on August 24, 2011
Hey Walter!
Thanks so much for the $50, though you've gone above and beyond the call of duty. I will post your suggestion on my facebook and my next email blast, etc. and challenge everyone. Thanks for the great idea. Randy
Creator Walter Littlemoon on August 24, 2011
Hi Randy - Let's see if someone might match my donation in return for an afternoon at our home - a piece of Jane's Red Velvet Cake and a cup of coffee. I'd be happy to answer any of their questions and to give them a tour of the area.
