Jeffrey’s amazing conversation with Karen RedHawk Dallett, an expert communicator on behalf of the International Film Community, The Indigenous Peoples of North and South America, and a creative entrepreneur who has had impact on so many lives and so many issues of our time.

Karen has been in the art of storytelling throughout her lifetime. Born into the Catawba Tribe her great grandmother married a Scotsman and from that point forward storytelling was instilled in her nature when she began acting in theater at the age of 7. Architecture and archeology became her professional focus, as she began to understand societal footprints on the environment. This study brought a focus on cultural storytelling and it’s affects on contemporary indigenous cultures and the environment.

Most recently, Karen owned a bookstore in Park City and from 2002-09 was Utah’s Sundance Resort literary programming coordinator; launched NPR’s program, This Green Earth, which she executive directed and hosted; and created a Native American film festival in New Mexico and has worked with NM film festivals, as a consultant and executive, in Santa Fe, where she now resides.
Currently, Karen is writing and developing indigenous film projects and has recently returned from Cochabamba Bolivia and the World People’s Conference on Climate Change and Protecting Mother Earth and is an active participant in the US Caucus for this group.

We think you will find Jeffrey’s conversation with Karen remarkably informative and comprehensive as a social, economic and spiritual sage articulates so many of the most pressing issues that affect not only the indigenous peoples of the world but humankind as a whole. This is especially true given the incredibly tragic oil spill catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico that highlights beyond a shadow of a doubt the precarious position that humanity is in as the accountability and responsibility for our environment takes the center stage of our cultural and economic public dialogue.

It is a complete delight to hear this conversation with such far reaching importance and historical significance seen through Native American perspective’s rarely given any attention in the media.
