The youth of Rosebud made the video "More Than That" in response to the ABC special Hidden America:  Children of the Plains.  The ABC special sparked outrage in Indian Country.  This is the Rosebud youth's response:



Team Esoterica:
Write about
 a tradition, hardship, insecurity, ect you see present in your life

How does
 the language of the video contribute/ limit/ shape future generations?

Target audience

Why did the
 Plains Indians feel compelled to make a response video

What are
 the dangers representing a group’s tradition/ history instead of showcasing their agency/ individuality

Difference
 between generations - how do hope and futurity look differently for different generations? How do you see this in the videos?​







Additional Questions (from Dr. Gómez):
What story does each video tell?
Why does the first story end with the word warrior?
Have you heard that story before? Where?
What story does the second video say bout the future?
Where are the generations, and what are the relationships between generations, in each story?
