Episode notes

Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse is back this week with a very special show. He will begin with an untitled musical track featuring Levon and Roselyne Menassian (Armenian) with Duduk, voice and Native flute. Tiokasin will talk about the conference that he recently attended in Portugal.

In the second half-hour, from our extensive archive stretching back 31 years: Darlene and Willard Pipeboy were frequent guests on First Voices ‘Indigenous’ Radio (as it was known at the time) from 1999 through the mid-2000s. Both carried knowledge and common sense of the Lakota and Dakota wichohan (life ways). This interview was drawn from the 2003 archive before Hurricane Katrina in 2005, before the Fukushima nuclear meltdown in Japan in 2011, and other events as the Western world and Earth continue to clash.

Please listen to these two Wakán (note: there is not really a word for “elder” since it is a noun).
