Yeah, yeah. Okay. Suit. Oh, Business. The West Portal Elementary School in San Francisco. This morning, a lesson in humanity. 10 Indian youngsters living on Alcatraz came to visit their counterparts, going to school here. The glare of television, camera lights and

00:01:20.220 - 00:01:35.320

fourth grade first encounters contributed to something of a mantle of shyness covering the initial proceedings. But it was not expected to last, as the Indian Children and the youngsters taught by Mrs Gilda Sullivan began to get to know one another. And that was really the idea

00:01:35.320 - 00:01:59.690

behind it all. We wanted the the Children to meet Children from other cultures, especially California Indians. Uh, my classes followed the activity on Alcatraz with a great deal of interest. And especially since, uh, we're studying the history of California and California's first first peoples. The Indians,

00:01:59.700 - 00:02:16.940

00:02:55.320 - 00:03:10.110

What do you want your Children to get out of this meeting. And what do you think the Indian Children will get out of this day? Well, I want my Children to look at anyone from a different culture, cultural background as a person. Uh, and I hope

00:03:10.110 - 00:03:27.660

that the other Children will, uh, Indian Children will be able to know that boys and girls of any any neighborhood or of any community are boys and girls first of all, and have much in common more in common than differences. Paddle Brian Eyewitness news, San Francisco.
