Tammy and Kelly Rundle's Lost Nation: The Ioway 2&3, two new historical documentary film sequels, have received a media grant from Humanities Iowa via their fiscal sponsor Native Languages of the Americas.
The sequel project continues the Ioway Native American story in 1837, where Lost Nation: The Ioway 1 left off. The two films will be released on a single DVD in 2012. As with Ioway 1, the DVD will feature an alternative soundtrack in the endangered Ioway language.
Humanities Iowa previously supported the Rundles' Lost Nation: The Ioway 1, Villisca: Living with a Mystery and Country School: One Room - One Nation.
