PROGRAM SCHEDULE for 9/23 - 9/27:
MON - 9/23: Tribal languages are vanishing. Many are teetering
on the verge of extinction. Experts contend the best way to
preserve our native tongue is through intense daily use. Is it
too late to save our dying languages? Nancy Richardson of the
Karuk Tribe and Darryl Kipp of the Blackfeet Nation join us.
TUE - 9/24: Drive-up windows are everywhere. Drive-up food,
drive-up banking, even drive-up liquor...all for the sake of
convenience. Picking up an ice cold six-pack of beer is as easy
as buying a burger and fries. Is convenience contributing to
more drunk drivers? Guests include a representative from MADD.
WED - 9/25: The ultimate form of revenge is murder. Crimes of
passion generally involve the lovers themselves. But in twisted
acts of rage, a few unstable parents target their children. What
drives a person to this ultimate form of madness? Sociologist
Dodd Bogart will help us examine the deviant mindset.
THU - 9/26: Cuts to legal aid creates anxiety in Indian Country.
But creative reform is keeping the system afloat. How has the
legal aid system managed to turn a negative into a positive?
Guests TBA.
FRI - 9/27: Wellness Edition: Native infant death rates,
including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, have dropped
dramatically, but they still rank higher than other ethnic
groups in the country. What can we do to protect our children?
Guests TBA.
