>AIROS Expansion
>
>John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation < http://www.macfdn.org/ >
>has awarded a grant to Native American Public Telecommunications <
>www.nativetelecom.org > to provide continued funding for the premier
>program of AIROS' daily schedule, Native American Calling. The grant also
>provides funds to research and design methods of expanding the AIROS signal.
>
>The AIROS expansion project goal is to deliver the programming to new
>communities and to broaden our audience base. We hope to serve more
>reservation communities; make our services available to Native Americans
>living in urban areas; serve educational institutions studying Native
>American issues and cultures; and reach internet and radio audiences
>interested in Native American news, music and culture.
>
>Do you want to help AIROS expand its services? We need to talk to people
>interested in helping as well as possible collaborators. Can we add the
>AIROS signal to existing audio or interconnection services? What new and
>different technologies can we use to deliver the existing signal? How can
>we work with others to create greater access to AIROS programming? We need
>to talk to public information managers; network or communications
>directors; public information and technical systems developers;
>multicultural or Native American educators; and the agencies and
>organizations serving Native American communities or concerned with Native
>American issues.
>
>If you are able to help, or know people who might, please contact us,
>1-800-571-6885 or airos at unl.edu.

>Listen LIVE 1-2pm EST at www.nativecalling.org

>MON - 1/31: Do You Believe in Miracles?:
>In what some are calling a Christmas Miracle, a Cochiti Pueblo woman
>awakened after being in a coma for more than 16 years. It happened on
>Christmas Eve. Doctors and hospital officials are amazed by her recovery.
>Family members and religious leaders are now singing the praises of divine
>intervention. Join us as we open up the phone lines and ask, "Do you
>believe in miracles?"
>
>TUE - 2/1: Navajo Relocation:
>More than 10,000 Navajo people have been relocated from ancestral lands
>since Congress passed the Navajo/Hopi Relocation Act some 25 years ago.
>This act is still being used to forcibly remove Navajos from their
>traditional homelands on Big Mountain. The Hopi feel that a decision has
>been made and the Navajo must go. Guests include Bahe Katenay, an organizer
>for Navajo Resistors at Big Mountain.
>
>WED - 2/2: Racial Diversity on Television:
>There are still few, if any, visible signs of Native people on the major TV
>networks. Demands have been made, boycotts have been organized, and
>petitions have been signed, but still not much progress has been made on
>securing jobs for people of color in the television industry. Is
>affirmative action the answer? Guests include Sonny Skyhawk of the Lakota
>Nation and President of American Indians in Film.
>
>THU - 2/3: Generation of Orphans:
>The AIDS epidemic in Africa has left a startling total of 10 million
>children without parents, and the number is growing. The United Nations
>Security Council is worried about the implications of a whole generation of
>orphans growing up without parental guidance. Will this create a valueless
>society? What can be done for this dire situation in Africa? And how does
>it affect Native America?
>
>FRI - 2/4: The Power of the Drum:
>To Native people, the drum is more than a mere instrument.  Its ancient
>rhythms are likened to the "heartbeat" of the nations
a universal tongue
>that all people understand.  And in the hands of the knowing healer, it can
>be a means toward wellness.  Join Sharon McConnell and her guests as they
>discuss the healing power of the drum
on the next "Wellness Edition" of
>Native America Calling.
