Past and Present Public Service Campaigns
The American Indian College Fund teamed up with Portland, Oregon-based advertising agency partner, Wieden+Kennedy, to give hope to Native Americans everywhere. In 2006, they launched a new campaign for the Fund called "If I Stay on the Rez" It is a series of five ads highlighting students who have attended a tribal college and plan to use their education on the reservation to help their people. The campaign builds awareness for the preservation of American Indian culture and history through tribal colleges. Richard B. Williams, the Fund president and CEO, says, "The American Indian College Fund video is unique opportunity to see a very important part of Indian country. We are educating the mind and spirit, and this is captured in the video."
In 2009, The Think Indian campaign was created to encourage a new generation to think back to their Native roots, to "Think Indian". This campaign was created once again with Wieden+Kennedy. The idea within the publications that can be found in magazines such as The New York Times Magazine, U.S. News and World Report and has appeared on television and radio, is going back to the roots of Native culture and tradition to help solve modern-day problems for all people. To Think Indian is to combine the knowledge of the past with the technology of today to help in making a better world for Indian Country as well as for the entire world.

Famous quotes containing the words present, public, service and/or campaigns:
“... what is especially insufferable in a woman is a restless, bold, domineering manner, for this manner goes against nature.... [ellipsis in source] No matter what her worth, no matter that she never forgets that she could be a man by virtue of her superiority of mind and the force of her will, on the outside she must be a woman! She must present herself as that creature made to please, to love to seek support, that being who is inferior to man and who approaches the angels.”
—Elisabeth-Felicite Bayle-Mouillard (1796–1865)
“In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“We have in the service the scum of the earth as common soldiers.”

“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
