Lamar Associates was recently awarded a contract by the Bureau of Indian Affairs Indian Police Academy (IPA) to develop an online accessible training session. At present the dropout/failure rate for Indian Country cadets is unacceptable, and to address the situation IPA has contracted with Lamar Associates to develop an online session to acquaint potential cadets with the entrance criteria, academy training activities, expectations, lodging, cafeteria and general rigors of cadet life.
The video portion of the project is being shot and edited by Cedar Sherbert (pictured). Cedar is the 2008 Rollin and Mary Ella King Native Artist Fellow at the School for Advanced Research (SAR) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. An accomplished Kumeyaay filmmaker, he has created several critically acclaimed films and won awards at the Los Angeles Film Festival, imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival, and the American Indian Film Festival, among many others.
We are pleased to have Cedar working with us on this most important project.
