The Coeur d'Alene Tribe of Idaho recently launched RezKast, a Native version of the popular video-sharing site YouTube.

RezKast features videos from about 200 active posters, said Valerie Fast Horse, the tribe's director of information technology. The offerings are comedic, serious and thought-provoking.

"I really like this site because you don't have to wade through all the clutter," Hope Mathews-Herrera (Comanche/Wichita) told the Associated Press. "There is a certain comfort zone here. It's the only truly interactive site out there that is actually for natives by natives, an actual nation."

RezKast is part of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe's commitment to information technology, said Fast Horse. "We want to use technology to preserve our culture and language," she told the AP.
