MONDAY, APRIL 15, 2002 Two Indian filmmakers from Bolivia have received an award for promoting the use of video technology in their country. Iván Sanjinés, from the Quechua Tribe, and Jesús Tapia, from the Aymara Tribe, were presented the "Taos Mountain Award" this past weekend at the Taos Talking Picture Festival in New Mexico. The two have been showing films made by indigenous people in Latin America. The National Museum of the American Indian is sponsoring the cross-country film tour. The museum has a program dedicated to indigenous media throughout the western hemisphere. In addition to the Bolivian artists, the Taos festival featured a discussion about Native stereotypes in the media. Chris Eyre of "Smoke Signals" fame, Apache comedian Drew Lacapa and Aboriginal media mogul Gary Farmer took part. Get the Story:
