Moritz served as senior producer on the project and Echo-Hawk was the producer. According to Moritz, the feature is one of several short subject videos slated to air in recognition of Native American History Month and will be televised on stations around the country.
"This is the story of a mother and father from Colorado who spent seven years collecting eagle feathers which will now be made into a beautiful dance costume for their son," Moritz said. "Amy had the idea and it turned out to be very much of interest to the PBS project."
Funding for the video was made possible by a grant from Native American Public Telecommunications.
Moritz was promoted from associate to full professor in June. She was a news and documentary producer before joining the CU-葫芦娃视频 faculty and currently teaches courses in news and documentary television.
Echo-Hawk earned her bachelor's degree in 1995 from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and is currently working on a master's degree in broadcast newsgathering.
