Monday, July 7, 2008 - Mechanics of Addiction:
When it comes to the question of what causes drug addiction or alcoholism, there has been ongoing debate. One emerging school of thought is that people who are suffering from physical or emotional pain find relief from their discomfort in a drink or drug. The greater the discomfort the more importance a person places on relieving it and the greater value he or she places on the drink or drug. As the abuse gets stronger and becomes addiction, there are only three eminent outcomes: death, prison or sobriety. What is addiction? Invited guests include Gary Smith, Executive Director/Narconon Drug Rehabilitation Center.
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 - Voices on the Wind:
Alternative energy: we've been hearing about it all over the place. But, did you know tribes and tribal enterprises are already utilizing alternative sources of power? The wind is considered by some, to be the lowest impact producing energy source. Some tribal radio stations and other Native enterprises are taking advantage of the power provided by gusts, breezes and gales to provide their electricity. Guests include Melanie Janis, Oglala Lakota KILI Station Manager, from Porcupine, S.D.
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 - Music Maker: Mc Clellan, Robedeaux and Stoner:
Brian Stoner, Jeff McClellan and Kyle Robedeaux have joined together to give thanks to all of those who have brought the Peyote Way to their life, through song. In their latest release, "Blessings," the Peyote songs from the Southern Plains continues to carry on a strong Native tradition while providing encouragement on one's own journey. With the rhythm of water drum and gourd, the center of their singing is firmly rooted in the spiritual traditions of the Native American Church. Guests include one of the group's singers Brian Stoner of the Ponca and Cherokee tribe of Oklahoma.
Thursday, July 10, 2008 - Tribes That Never Surrendered:
There is a false notion that all Native American tribes surrendered to the U.S. by the time the Indian Wars ended. A new book called "They Never Surrendered" by author Ron Papandrea uncovers the lost band of Lakota Sioux who chose to remain expatriates rather than surrender. Many other tribes, like Seminole and Kiowa, share similar stories of never officially surrendering to any U.S. authorities. What is your tribe's story when it comes to how your tribal war against the United States ended? Invited guests include J.D. Williams (Cheyenne River Sioux) descendant of Minneconjou Chief Black Moon.
Friday, July 11, 2008 - Longest Walk II:
