Podcast of Tillicum Wawa 4-12-12

Unfortunately Candida Kingbird was unable to make the show due to a car accident. Please send your prayers her way and think good thoughts as the accident has sent her into premature labor as well.

So on April 12, Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People had a discussion of domestic violence in Indian Country between Shusli and Eugene using the Amnesty International report "Maze of Injustice" (click on the title to read the document). If you or anyone you know needs help for domestic or sexual violence, please contact the NAYA Family Center. Go to services and "The Healing Circle" for more information from the NAYA website.

We also discussed water issues in Indian Country and played many wonderful and appropriate songs for both subjects.
