2007 Keynote Videos
James Loewen - Author/Historian/Sociologist
Click below for a preview of the DVD available on NAI's online store.
James Loewen spent two years at the Smithsonian surveying
12 leading high school textbooks of American history, only
to find an embarrassing blend of bland optimism, blind nationalism,
and plain misinformation, weighing in at an average of 888
pages and almost five pounds. He is a best selling author
who has written Lies Across America: What Our Historic
Sites Get Wrong. He also wrote Lies My Teacher Told
Me: Everything Your High School History Textbook Got Wrong, a book that
has sold more than 800,000 copies and continues to inspire
K-16 teachers to get students to challenge rather than memorize
their textbooks. The Gustavus Myers Foundation named his
new book, Sundown Towns, a Distinguished Book of 2005. He
discovered through his research that many communities were
(and some still are) “Sundown Towns” that kept
out blacks and other groups for decades.

Erica Wheeler is an award-winning songwriter and experienced
workshop facilitator. She has four critically acclaimed CDs
to her credit and has been featured on NPR’s “All
Things Considered.” Her music charted for four weeks
in the top ten on Billboard’s Gavin Americana Chart.
Touted in the press as the next Mary Chapin Carpenter, Erica
writes songs that are full of sharply detailed portraits
of the American landscape and the lives lived there. “All
Music Guide” noted that her songs combine the “literary
sensitivity of New England with the spiritual vision of the
American West.”
The galleries included here include a sampling of photos submitted by participants of the 2006 National Interpreters Workshop, November 7-11, 2006. Special thanks to those who shared their photos.

Richard Louv: 2006 NAI Keynote Video
In his
keynote address at the 2006 NAI National Workshop, Richard
Louv directly links the absence of nature in the lives of today's
wired generation to some of the most disturbing
childhood
trends: the rise in obesity, attention disorders, and depression.
he brings
together a body of research indicating that direct exposure to nature
is essential for healthy childhood development and for the physical
and emotional health of children and adults. More than just raising
an alarm, Louv offers practical solutions to heal the broken bond.
