March 14, 2010 Unnatural Causes: Becoming American This episode of the PBS series looks at how recent Mexican immigrants, though typically poorer, tend to be healthier than the average American. But the longer they're here, the worse their relative health becomes. This is known as the "Hispanic Paradox." Is there some thing about life in America that is harmful to health? Conversely, what is protective about new immigrant communities that we can all learn from? March 21, 2010 We Shall Remain: Utes and Navajos At the 2009 Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly, which was held in Salt Lake City, delegates learned that the American Unitarian Association was one of the Protestant denominations that accepted the request of the United States government to take over the management of American Indian reservations and agencies. Four Unitarian ministers were assigned to work with the Utes at two agencies within their reserva tion. Their mission was to "meet the Indians in a humane, Christian spirit, saving them from trickery, robbery, intemperance, and other vices of frontier life; and to present to them the better phases of a Christian civilization." (See more in the Winter 2009 issue of the UU World.) Our video presentation will highlight the histories and current situations of the Utes and Navajos in productions made for the local Utah PBS airings of the national We Shall Remain series.
