Those of us in teaching positions are interested always in new materials
that might be useful in our classes. One such is "Lieweila, a Micronesian
story", the original notice for which appeared in "News from Manoa" No 1,
1998, with modifications from the filmmaker, Beret Strong. Please forgive
any cross posting.
******************************************************************************
Lieweila: A Micronesian Story is a new video produced by Cinta Matagolai
Kaipat and Beret Strong. It is the story of the Refalawasch, a Carolinian
culture that migrated to the Mariana Islands and, like other groups in
Micronesia, is struggling with issues of rapid development and cultural
survival. The video, which is also the family story of one of the
filmmakers, Cinta Kaipat, follows the migrations of this group, the choices
they made, and their tradition as navigators and canoe builders. The video
is NTSC format, color, and 57 minutes; $30 for individuals and $150 for
institutions. For PAL format, there is a $10 surcharge. Shipping within the
US Postal Service is included in the cassette price. International air
shipping is $25, with international surface shipping $10. In the Marianas
