Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People

On Thursday, November 11, from 6pm to 7pm, "Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People" will air its pilot program on KBOO, 90.7fm. "Tillicum Wawa" is Chinook Jargon for "The People Speak." The program will present interviews from local indigenous peoples, indigenous peoples around the world, as well as news, views, updates on sacred site issues, etc. The program is meant to show that Indians are still alive today, and have many different facets. "Tillicum Wawa" we hope will connect Indians to one another as well as to non-indigenous people. "Tillicum Wawa" is produced by Vicki "Redwillow" Creel, Rhonda "Shusli" Baseler, and Eugene Johnson. The first show will feature field interviews and commentary with a special guest, Robert Miller, author of the new book "Discovering Indigenous Lands: The Doctrine of Discovery in the English Colonies." Robert Miller is a lawyer who teaches law at Lewis and Clark College and has written the book, "Native America, Discovered and Conquered: Thomas Jefferson, Lewis & Clark, and Manifest Destiny." We will be discussing his books as well as the Doctrine of Discovery and its effects on Indians, past and present. "Tillicum Wawa" will also have a feature "The Angry Indian Minute," inspired by the "APA Compass" feature, "The Angry Asian Minute." So tune in for the pilot program of "Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People," on Thursday, November 11, from 6-7pm, on KBOO, 90.7fm. KBOO can also be found at kboo.fm, where you can listen live on your computer.
