[OR_Archaeology] TAC features China ethnic groups

[Meara Butler]

 Please excuse cross posting
*****************************************************************************************

Friends and colleagues: China is home to many indigenous cultural groups,
which tend to receive little attention from the world outside China.
Addressing this need, we have collaborated with partners in China to bring
you *The Soul’s Paradise: Congjiang*, the latest video feature on our
nonprofit streaming-media Web site, *The Archaeology Channel* (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org).

Ethnic minority groups in Congjiang, a beautiful place in southeast China,
face a serious dilemma.  People are poor and work hard to earn a living and
at the same time have a rich cultural heritage threatened by modern
influences.  The Beijing Cultural Heritage Protection Center and UNESCO are
implementing the China Culture and Development Partnership Framework to
assist ethnic minority groups in their cultural, socio-economic and
political life and empower them to manage cultural resources and benefit
from culture-based economic development.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  We
urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we
reach out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
