Due to one technical difficulty after another as well as when I have time to make it to KBOO there aren't any computers available with Audio, I will no longer be podcasting "Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People." I apologize for any inconvenience. The frustration of one technical setback after another has finally gotten to me, and I have given up on the idea for now.
After a caller called in and told us of the occupation at
Glen Cove in Northern California near Vallejo, Shusli did some leg work and got an interview with Corrina to discuss the situation. A group of people are blocking the construction of a park that will desecrate a shell midden and burial site.
Here is a link to the video of
