At the half hour she reads a “Native News” segment in Indian Country, the only place you will hear news stories specifically concerning American Indians.
- Living Voices, a short-segment audio series in English and Spanish featuring profiles of Native Americans and Native Hawaiians today, can also be heard occasionally during Native Spirit Radio. Living Voices is a joint production of the Community Services Department and the Film and Video Center of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.
