PROGRAM SCHEDULE for 9/9 - 9/13:
MON - 9/9: The fascination with Native Americans is stronger
abroad than here in the states. Foreigners are flocking to catch
a glimpse of real live Indians. Why is there such an overseas
obsession with native life? Guests include international
traveler Ralph Zotigh of the Kiowa Tribe.
TUE - 9/10: Volumes of information about native people are being
collected and stored onto databases. This information will soon
be available on the Internet. Are these databases helpful or
detrimental to native families and individuals? Data gatherers
Carl Waln and Henrietta Stockel will join us.
WED - 9/11: In a remote area of the deep South, the Mississippi
Choctaw are quietly flourishing. How have these people pulled
themselves out of poverty and depression? Can jobs and cash save
a culture from extinction? Choctaw Chief Philip Martin will help
us seek the answer.
THU - 9/12: Black outs and power outages are realities we all
must tolerate. We've become so reliant upon electricity...are we
prepared for life without it? What alternative power sources
are being developed? Guests include Anita Blue of the Turtle
Mountain Chippewa reservation.
FRI - 9/13: Wellness Edition: As native people move from their
birthplaces to cities, available Indian health services can
become a key factor in a family's financial survival. Should
native people expect free health care anywhere in the country?
Guests TBA.
