Thought you kind folks might like to know...
Dee gave me her blessing to post this. 
Back in 2010, I was asked by Louisiana Public Broadcasting to co-write, narrate and "star" in a documentary on the Chitimacha people, my people. We filmed it that year and it was broadcast in Louisiana in spring of 2011.
Well, the show, "Native Waters: A Chitimacha Recollection" was nominated for an Emmy (though we didn't win one!) and won a Telly Award, and is going into national syndication this month to small and large public broadcasting stations every where.
The documentary summary and an extended clip (see the right hand column, third from top says "view the extended trailer") can be found at:

Those of you who remember when I used to hang out here regularly may recall when I did two episodes of "Fly Fishing America." There's some fly-fishing in this, too, and no, I can't cast any better now than I did then! But it's also a very relevant study of a people's connection to their environs, and I hope you can catch it in your region.
Best regards,
RS
"And look at Elias Wonder. Yeah, take a gander at that buzzard. Forty years ago he was happy, generous, charitable, tall, dark and handsome. Then he took up the fly rod. Now consider him. Uglier than fresh road kill. Evil-eyed, cantankerous, sullen, mean. An anti-social misfit that causes a groundswell of spleen wherever he goes."
