The project will contain music from the performance by Native American Church peyote singers Verdell Primeaux and Johhny Mike on Cdand the CDROM tracks include a photographic gallery from the performance of 16 images and 3 short video clips from 1) Dana's footage in the performance, 2) Mike MacDonald's footage of Primeaux and Mike and 3) The complete 4 minute piece by Christian from Skylight / Vision tapes. Video clips are between 3 and 6 minutes. In addition there will be an essay by Lakota elder and anthropologist Dr. Bea Medicine concerning the peyote practice of the Native American Church within the modern Lakota and an essay by myself contxtualizing the work in performance art historical terms. For use of this tape we can offer you a credit for Skylight, Vision and Dorothy Christian with logo on the CDROM portion as well text credits as on the cover of the CD, in the CDROM itself and in the publicity. This is the third project of ours that Christian has covered for Skylight (the earlier two on Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun and Laura Wee Lay Laq) and we very much appreciate her interest in our programming. Thank you for your agreement. Sincerely Yours Glenn Alteen
