PROGRAM SCHEDULE for January 25-29, 1999
MON - 1/25: Bringing Native Food Crops to Market:
There are numerous native agricultural producers in this country growing
high quality organic food crops. Their biggest obstacle however is bringing
their goods to the marketplace and the commodities program. How can we
bring Native food crops to market? Guests include Clayton Brascoupe, program
director for the Traditional Native American Farmers Association.
TUE - 1/26: Adolescent Promiscuity:
Sexual encounters and discovery for today's young adults can be a dangerous
endeavor. With so many new sexually transmitted diseases, an untimely
encounter during a moment of passion can prove to be deadly. How can our
young adults learn the ways of the birds and the bees in these times of
lethal sexual diseases? Invited guests include youth organizers Michael
Spears and Nathan Chasing His Horse.
WED - 1/27: Book of the Month: "Essie's Story":
This is the life story of Esther Burnett Horne, a Shoshone woman who
dedicated her life to becoming an accomplished and inspiring educator in
Indian boarding schools. Her experiences as student and teacher have enabled
her to provide a detailed, authentic portrait of boarding school life.
Guests include Esther Burnett Horne and co-author Sally McBeth.
THU - 1/28: Economic Impact of Tribal Development:
Opponents of Indian economic development contend that it's detrimental to
the surrounding non-native economies. But a new study conducted in
Washington State shows that the exact opposite is true. When will
Indian-owned enterprises escape the stereotypes that non-native enterprises
and the public at large have placed upon them? Guests include Debora Juarez,
director of the Governors Office of Indian Affairs in Washington.
FRI - 1/29: Chemical Dependency:
Addiction to cocaine, heroin, even crack, is very serious and certainly
deadly. What leads one down the dead end road to chemical dependency? On
this "Wellness Edition" of Native America Calling, Sharon McConnell and
guests will explore Chemical Dependency in Indian Country.

PROGRAM SCHEDULE for January 1-5, 1999
MON - 2/1: First Americans in the Arts Awards:
It's the Native version of the Academy Awards, the Emmys and the Grammys all
rolled into one. This is Indian Country's most glamorous event and it is
being held in Hollywood, California. What was your favorite Native movie in
'98...your favorite music...your favorite actors and actresses? Guests

TUE - 2/2: Current Events:
In Connecticut, the Mashantucket Pequots have formed a political action
committee or PAC. In D.C., the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan has
purchased a house on Embassy Row. In Yellowstone National Park, buffalo are
still in danger of being slaughtered. And in Minnesota, new governor Jesse
Ventura is threatening to cut all Indian Education funding.
WED - 2/3: Tribes vs. Tobacco Companies:
Tribes from throughout Native America were left out when the tobacco
industry handed out $206 billion to states for smoking-related health costs.
Now tribes are taking it upon themselves to get their fair share from
tobacco companies. Will the industry cough up the cash? Invited guests
include Navajo attorney Albert Hale and Cherokee Principal Chief Joe Byrd.
THU - 2/4: BIA Trust Funds Mismanagement:
Some call it the biggest debacle in the history of the U.S. federal
government. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has allegedly mismanaged or lost
billions of dollars held in trust for tribes and individual members. Now,
the special trustee appointed to clear up the mess has quit in protest.
Invited guests include Dom Nessi of the BIA.
FRI - 2/5: Ear Diseases/Deafness:
It's easy to take hearing for granted, but what would you do if you couldn't
hear? Join Sharon McConnell and guests for a discussion about the various
ear diseases affecting people as well as how prevalent deafness is in Indian
Country.
