I am pleased to tell you funding has been approved by the TAIP award committee for the development of a video short based on 'Part One' of my new book She Who Was Taken.
My book is inspired by actual events. Names, places and Tribial affiliation have been altered to protect the innocent, the guilty know who they are.
This story is one of success, over coming great odds to have a good life, the impact of the assimilation efforts by U.S. and Canadian policies.
Once the video short is completed, you will be able to view 'Part One' online!

Best, Chholing
