I made a series of phone calls trying to get information on the
radio series "Spirits of the Present: The Legacy from native America" which
was announced in a recent article. The article said it was on National
Public Radio. Well, after many unsuccessful efforts to find out why noone
knew anything about it, it appears that it is on AMERICAN Public Radio,
based out of Minneapolis, and if people want to know about the series
and the local stations that will carry it, you can call (612) 338-5000.
Hope that helps anyone interested. ---Christina

I have a couple of other sources of information of the program, and will
report any additional details I am able to uncover.
