THE INDIAN WARS NEVER ENDED
MODERN DAY MESSAGE FOR MODERN DAY TIMES

BOULDER, CO- On Monday, March 26th, 2007, attorneys and staff of the Native American Rights Fund will premier its first ever Public Service Announcement at the opening ceremonies of the National Indian Gaming Association’s annual convention and trade show in Phoenix, Arizona. The :60 second PSA, entitled, “The Indian Wars Never Ended,” is part of a greater campaign to generate a renewed awareness to one of Indian Country’s most established and respected non-profit advocacy organizations.

For 36 years, NARF has played a significant role in the progress of Native people’s by providing legal advice and assistance to tribal governments in need. Today, some of those tribes are enjoying an economic renewal with the advent of gaming in the United States. It’s why NARF will celebrate its renewed mission of “standing firm for justice” at the
NIGA event before a live audience of hundreds of anticipated convention attendees.

Featured in the PSA production are NARF Executive Director John Echohawk and members of his legal team, as well as the award-winning hip-hop duo, Culture Shock Camp comprised of DJ, Shock B and lyricist and PS composer/producer, Quese IMC. The cross-generational project represents the symbolic message of NARF as it establishes a modern-day message for modern-day times.
