María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

  • Tribal Visits Report
    Site Visit Report January 2018 Hopi Education Feasibility Study www.public-works.org 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hopi Tribe is a federally-recognized government comprised of a union of self- governing Hopi villages located on the Hopi reservation in northern Arizona. There are seven tribally-controlled schools on the Hopi Reservation. After receiving a Tribal Education Department (TED) grant from the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), the tribe contracted with Public Works LLC to conduct a feasibility study to help the tribe improve education in Hopi schools. The feasibility study included a review of promising practices in tribal education. To that end, between July 2017 and January 2018, the Public Works team conducted extensive research on other tribes’ education activities, conducted visits to eight tribes and one school, and held telephone interviews with two tribes. The tribes and schools included: • Standing Rock Sioux, North Dakota • Coeur d’Alene, Idaho • Nez Percé, Idaho • Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Montana • Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico • Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico • Eastern Band of Cherokee, North Carolina • Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians • Santa Fe Indian School, New Mexico • Gila River Indian Community, Arizona • Navajo Nation, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah These tribes and schools were chosen due to their relevance to the Hopi’s objectives for a comprehensive educational system. Based on our preliminary research, each tribe used a model or strategy that could inform the Hopi in their decision-making process. For example, using a Sovereignty in Education (SIE) grant, the Gila Education Department River is moving forward on plans to unify its three tribally-controlled schools.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.
