Dear Mr. Schellenberg,I am currently showing my high school students, "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee." These are students who others would not bother challenging them with curriculum and content such as this. Why? Because they are students with severe emotional and behavioral disorders. However, I feel that they can achieve academic and behavioral excellence if the bar is set high for them. I give them material they will not find in their textbooks. Their sense of outrage was evident from the outset. They couldn't get their questions out fast enough. If I can get them to remember the past, then maybe they will tell their children, and their grandchildren so we never forget. Ho! Mitakuye Oyasin Dr. Katherine Nell McNeil

Dear Mr. Schellenberg -
I just finished watching the HBO film Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. I wish to express to you how touched I was by your portrayal of Chief Sitting Bull in that film. As a life-long student of anthropology, the stories and histories of aboriginal peoples has been of deep interest to me, so near to my heart that ... while it sounds cliched ... I really have no words to express. I am so deeply ashamed and appalled by the 'whites' treatment of Indian peoples and cultures - and yet I know that this is just a continuing chapter in the story of the human race, for more than 50,000 years. I don't know why I'm writing this to you. I just sincerely wanted to thank you for your portrayal of this great leader.
Respectfully, Annemarie Blue

I'll always remember working with you on the CBC Radio version of "The Diviners" in 1982. You helped me find Christie Logan. Thank you so much. LOVE your work!

Hi August Schellenberg,
My name is Shakeera. I enjoyed watching you in Free Willy. At my school we are celebrating Native American Hertiage Month. It's said to say that not allot of Native Americans participates. Well God bless you.
