Native American Indian Heritage Month

From Wind & Rhythm | 58:30

The description “Native American” has been in use for the past couple of decades. It was a description suggested by the US government, and as you might imagine wasn’t universally accepted by the indigenous people of this continent as of the 15th century. There is no surprise that the friction between us is deeply rooted, and hearing music that honors, well for the purpose of this program, native Americans, is simply the composers’ attempt to honor them.

Dreamcatcher_small

The mission of Wind & Rhythm is to build a community of individuals who love wind bands; to grow a wider audience for the music bands play; and to provide a venue for band members and directors to speak about their art.

To accomplish our mission we produce both on-air and on-line programming that invites listeners to reconnect with their roots as members of bands; encourages listeners to participate in community music-making; and provides for listeners an opportunity to hear the best bands in the world.

Winona LaDuke

From American Public Media | Part of the The Promised Land series | 54:00

Winona LaDuke has spent decades working on issues of renewable energy, health, and environmental justice on northern Minnesota's White Earth Reservation and beyond. Outspoken, engaging, and unflaggingly dedicated, LaDuke introduces host Majora Carter to the pine forests, lakes, and windswept plains of her land. She talks about harnessing wind power, improving nutrition, preserving heritage crops, and a mandate to protect the land inherited from her ancestors.

Winonathumb_small

Winona LaDuke sums up the dichotomy: “Native peoples are the poorest population in North America, yet our lands are home to a wealth of resources.”

And the two-time Green Party vice presidential candidate and National Women’s Hall of Fame inductee is trying to make the most of those resources. Winona is behind many projects on the White Earth Reservation, including a wind energy project, a biodiesel ice cream truck, and the reservation's first radio station.

Winona LaDuke is founding director of White Earth Land Recovery Project, a nonprofit organization created in 1989 in order to recover land for the Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe) people. She is also program director of Honor the Earth, a national advocacy group encouraging public support and funding for native environmental groups.

Dealing With Diabetes

From Capital Public Radio | 54:03

November is American Diabetes Month and this award-winning program tells first-person stories from the Type 2 diabetes epidemic. Health Care Reporter Pauline Bartolone profiles challenges faced by an African American mother, a Native American amputee and a Hmong family. Their stories illustrate the importance of culturally based approaches.

Carolyn_small Dealing With Diabetes: Three Stories of Ethnic Communities Coping with an Epidemic

Winner of 2 Awards in 2012:
Edward R. Murrow Award for News Documentary
The AHJC Award for Excellence in Health Care Journalism in the Public Health category

It's estimated that about 25 million American adults have diabetes, a disease that's preventable in most cases. Type 2 diabetes is hitting hardest in communities of color, where access to health care and health choices can be limited by income, education and geography. For many people in these communities diabetes isn't just a diagnosis, it shapes who they are and how they live their lives. Some are simply coping with the disease, trying to manage its impact. Others are evaluating the choices they've made in life with the goal of getting healthier today and in the future. And a few are teaching, trying to help family, friends and neighbors make better health decisions.

Among California's African American, Native American, Latino and Hmong communities, a diagnosis of diabetes can have life threatening consequences. This multimedia program examines how three ethnic communities in California are dealing with diabetes and how culturally-based approaches to health care are lengthening and saving lives.

Moyers & Company Show 345: The Bare Knuckle Fight against Money in Politics

From Moyers & Company | Part of the Moyers & Company series | 23:59

Two college professors leave academia for the rough-and-tumble world of electoral politics. What did they learn? This week on Moyers & Company.

Bill_image_small_small

In this turbulent midterm election year, two academics decided to practice what they preached. They left the classroom, confronted the reality of down-and-dirty politics, and tried to replace moneyed interests with the public interest. Neither was successful – this year, at least – but on this week’s edition of Moyers & Company, they discuss with Bill Moyers their experiences and the hard-fought lessons learned about the state of American democracy.

 Lawrence Lessig teaches law at Harvard, is director of that university’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics and founded the University of Chicago’s Center for Internet and Society. A well-known Internet activist and campaign finance reform advocate, this election cycle, he started Mayday.US, a crowd-funded SuperPAC to end all SuperPACs. Its mission, Lessig says, is to reduce the influence of money in politics and make it politically toxic to oppose campaign finance reform. Lessig’s six congressional picks in truly competitive races went down to defeat in the midterms, but he told a reporter, “The fight to root out corruption in our politics is one of the most important in our time, and we will continue to pursue it with fierce urgency.”

 Zephyr Teachout is a professor of constitutional and property law at Fordham Law School and this year became a political candidate – going up against incumbent New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary. She received more than a third of the vote and carried 30 of the state’s 62 counties, surprising everyone – including Cuomo. Her new book, “Corruption in America,” is a history of the corrosive influence of money in politics. In it she writes, “What America now faces, if we do not change the fundamental structures of the relationship of money to legislative power, is neither mob rule nor democracy, but oligarchy.”

Thanksgiving- Gratitude

From Canadian Broadcasting Corporation | 54:00

Two words: Thank you. They sound simple enough. But there is always more to a topic, phrase, or ritual than one might think.

Now she has turned her scholarly eye towards gratitude. The result is a book called The Gift of Thanks: The Roots, Persistence and Paradoxical Meanings of a Social Ritual.
