NAPT Is Now Vision Maker Media

Lincoln, Neb: Native American Public Telecommunications, Inc. (NAPT), is pleased to announce its official new corporate name: Vision Maker Media.

After a year of study, the Board of Directors approved the name change this past summer.

This new name also includes a new logo: an eagle in silhouette, captured in flight. The eagle is revered in many Native circles as a messenger, protector, and leader. Its feathers are considered sacred, and its reverence extends to modern American symbolism as well as traditional Native American spirituality.

"In February 2013, to coincide with our organization's 37th anniversary, we'll be launching a new website that focuses on serving our multi-client base through defined user needs and an ease-of-functionality user-interface design," said Executive Director Shirley K. Sneve (Rosebud Sioux).
