| The Organization worked on several projects during fiscal 2013. Here are descriptions of the most substantial:A) A grant to Speaking Place supported an unusual collaboration between Linguist Dr. Daniel Suslak of Indiana University, plant geneticist Pablo Zamora of the University of California Davis, and filmmaker Ben Levine. The project had two goals: 1. to document traditional corn cultivation methods in the Totontepec Mixe region of Oaxaca, Mexico using Speaking Place methods; and 2. to explore how linguistic and video data can provide geneticists with clues for guiding molecular analysis. The goal was to discover the role of the farmers traditional methods in genetic expression of desired qualities that make Totontepec corn among the worlds most productive and nutritious varieties. The documentation resulted in new ongoing laboratory experiments. The community feedback sessions with Drs. Zamora and Suslak awakened farmers to act on an impending soil crisis brought on by the use of chemical fertilizers. The project also produced a survey and history of traditional seed types as well as approximately 25 hours of field-recorded video of natural group conversation and activity documenting the yearly corn cultivation cycle. The documentation will become part of a community video archive of endangered language and activities central to the identity of the Mixe people and important for future scientific research.B. The Organization produced a video on health disparities for the Daniel Hanley Center for Health Leadership describing barriers to health care in Maine among three groups: homebound elderly, the Somali community, and homeless teens. This is a training video for medical personnel, as well as community documentation to serve the educational, scientific, and public interest needs of communities, including poor and hard-to-reach constituencies.C. Another project currently in the development stage is the production of a documentary film,Incident at Sipayik. The film will be used for community education, with a goal of eliminating prejudice, violence, and community tensions. | $51,704 | - |
