Hello all,

In answer to the  last post, I'd be happy to
*try* to share some of the teaching materials
from the Rabbit Proof Fence DVD I have for
interested parties (I'll be putting my computer
skills to the test!).  I don't think I'd be
violating any copyright--since the articles are
reprints from the newspapers and since (I assume)
the whole idea of including teaching materials is
for the film to be used and discussed (as we are
doing), though the materials seem to be aimed at
a pre-university level student.  Anyone
interested should contact me off the list.

Rebecca
