Producer: Jim Bruchac (Abenaki)
Grades: All
Price: $10.00

Jim may or may not consider it a compliment to have it said that he sounds a lot like his father. His rendition of these traditional Abenaki and Iroquois stories gives lie to the belief that you have to have brightly colored illustrations or fast-moving images to capture a child's attention. Youngest listeners (and adults, too) will tune right in to these, especially when they hear the animal sounds. Jim Bruchac makes a great Red Squirrel, also ants....

Sexism in Language (1999-2000)
Length: 20 minutes
Price: $89.95

Telephone: (800) 257-5126
Website:http://www.films.com

This program shows how sexism and antisexism may be contained in language--in song lyrics, conversations, newspaper reports, written conventions and satire. In many cases, gender bias in language is extremely subtle, but this subtlety does not detract from its ability to influence the thoughts and perceptions of speakers and listeners. Indeed, bias that is never consciously recognized may be the most damaging.
