Beverly Singer (Tewa and Navajo)
is an award-winning documentarian whose video productions have
explored the subject of wellness among women, children, and Native
communities. Active in media for two decades, she is a founding
member of the Native American Producers Alliance and author of
a book on Native American independent filmmaking, Wiping the
War Paint Off the Lens, to be published in early 2001. Singer
says of Native media today, "I am so encouraged by recognizing
that ... really strong aesthetic tribal images are starting to
come forward." Singer was recently named Director of the Alfonso
Ortiz Center for Intercultural Studies at the University of New
Mexico in Albuquerque.
