The video utilizes both the traditional and the modern. Traditional concerns for the next generation, our bodies and our environment are raised in both historical and current representations. A Cheyenne tribal elder from Oklahoma serves as the audience's guide throughout the video. The video also features American Indian 6th, 7th, and 8th graders from Oklahoma. The issues presented in the video are universal and can be applied to all tribes and bands.

Curriculum Guide
The 7th Generation Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Fetal Alcohol
Effects (FAE) prevention curriculum is designed for American Indian students
in the 6th through 8th grades. The curriculum is designed to be utilized in
conjunction with the 7th Generation video, "Faces Yet to Come.".
This curriculum is designed to be incorporated into grades 6th, 7th, and 8th as a series of ready-to-use activities that support Fetal Alcohol Syndrome prevention efforts through education.
This curriculum combines structure and flexibility. Each lesson includes the presentation of information and experiential learning activities. Students are active participants in the learning process. In addition, students are encouraged to include family members, tribal elders, and community leaders as valuable resources for the learning process.
This curriculum is organized in nineteen lessons. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that the lessons be presented as numbered. Each lesson begins with a Goal and learning Objectives which clearly state the purpose of each lesson and desired student outcomes.
Most of the lessons require little preparation. If materials that are not usually found in a classroom are needed for student activities, Materials Needed will be listed after Objectives. Background Information contains information to be disseminated to the students. This information is presented as a handout to be copied and distributed to each student. Student Activities enhance the learning process and include research projects, experiential learning activities, and class discussion. Evaluation Activities measure learning outcomes.
The bibliography provides a listing of resources used in the development of
this curriculum. Teacher/facilitators are encouraged to add community-specific
resources to this listing for future use.
