Before the Night Comes
Good morning and welcome to your weekend.
Today’s show celebrates the last vestiges of longer days. This coming Wednesday is the official arrival of Autumn with the Equinox, so I thought I would celebrate the beginning of the shorter nights.
This Week in Indian Country again shares two articles:
Two articles pulled from Indian Country Today on the web
1 – Miccosukee filmmaker breaks out in Hollywood
By Sandra Hale Schulman – Published 09/16/2021
2 – Man charged in 2012 death of Native student

Memories
Good morning and welcome to your weekend.
Meteorological autumn has arrived as of September 1st. With it, the daylight shortens. I don’t know about you, but I now need the light on as I start my morning during the week. 8 pm brings darkness. Thus requiring me to turn on the outdoor lights when I take the dog out.
The temperature has begun to visit the lower portions of the thermostat, and we bid farewell to summer.
Today is 9/11 and most of us probably remember waking up to the horror in New York. Later in DC and next in a field in Pennsylvania.
With everything we are dealing with I selected today’s music to create a meditative environment and help us relax. At least, that was the purpose.
This week in Indian Country focuses on the devastation in Louisiana along the Gulf coast.
You can explore the following websites for more details:
- Louisiana’s Houma Nation Was Devastated by Hurricane Ida
- September 5, 2021 published on NPR (Audio Captured)
- Written & Interviewed by Lulu Garcia-Navarro
- Can visit for more information on the United Houma Nation, visit unitedhoumanation.org.
- Democracy Now! Captured Audio with Amy Goodman Interviews Monique Verdin
- Hurricane Ida Slams Native Communities in Louisiana as New Orleans Loses Electricity & Covid Rages
- Story published August 30, 2021
Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the show.

Labored Day Weekend
Good morning and welcome to your weekend.
I want to wish everyone a Happy Labor Day! This coming Monday is the last official holiday of summer. And, one can now say Autumn has arrived. On Wednesday, meteorological Autumn began.
I hope you are enjoying the new segment; “This Week in Indian Country”. Even though it takes me a little longer to produce the show, I believe the segment adds to the program.
This week I focus on events closer to home: Richmond.
On the Pow Wow trail, two pow wows are canceled:
- The Nottoway Indian Tribal Pow Wow – originally scheduled for September 18th & 19th
- Upper Mattaponi Tribal Pow Wow – originally scheduled for October 9th & 10th.
I also share details for the Pocahontas Reframed Film Festival scheduled for November 19th through the 21st. Tickets for the 5th Annual Pocahontas Reframed Film Festival are now on sale. This year’s event takes place
at the VMFA Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, VA. You can check out the complete schedule of events here and purchase tickets here.
Just a reminder this show is pre-recorded for your listening pleasure.
Walk in Peace and stay healthy,

Lions Gate Awaits
Good morning and welcome to your weekend!
InterTribal, the show that makes the sun rise, is here with another installment for your listening pleasure.
I enjoyed putting this show together because I had news and music to share with you.
First – The news:
After 100 years of having been removed from their lands, The Nez Perce returned to a portion of their original homelands and performed a Blessing Ceremony.
You may review the article on the Statesman Journal Website.
Second – The Music:
I am excited to share the music of Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, also known as “X”. He is a vibrant young Earth Guardian who sings hip hop and rap.
Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the show.

What If
Good morning and welcome to your weekend.
Today we celebrate the last day of July. Tomorrow starts the month of August and soon Autumn will become our companion.
Congratulations needs to go out to Carissa Moore for winning the First ever Olympic Gold for Surfing! Carissa is a Hawaiian native and I wanted to mention her this morning. The link above will take you to the article mentioned during my show. The image is also one from both the article and Carissa’s social media.
Please continue to wear your masks and practice social distancing.

835 Plus 1
Good morning and welcome to your weekend!
As of last week, we have spent 835 Saturdays together. Well, give or take the few times I took off due to parent responsibilities or vacationing. Today is Plus 1. Last week, July 10 marked 16 years of InterTribal on WRIR. Today we start year 17.
Today’s show is episode 836. This show contains music old and new with artists you may or may not have heard of. I do hope you will enjoy the blended mix created for you.
Stay dry and remain safe.

InterTribal presents:
July Will Fly
Good morning and welcome to your holiday weekend.
This weekend celebrates our country’s independence. However, all of the 1st Nations People of Turtle Island actually lost their independence after Columbus was found lost at sea. A very sad fact. In addition, because of all the crimes committed against the indigenous people here since that time, most won’t celebrate this holiday.
The music selected for today simply presents a wonderful mix of the original voices of this land.
Walk in Peace,

In the Midst
Good morning,
Welcome to your weekend! Summer is officially here, the grass cutting season is in full swing and we are able to enjoy our time together. We also just finished having the Super Strawberry Moon this past week. So this weekend, we will just enjoy the music. Some new, some not so new.
Last weekend, I was excited to learn of the Leonard Peltier Freedom Riders were riding through Richmond, VA. This past week Sunny Gardner hosted the Freedom Riders at her garden: Epic Gardens. She also had an opportunity to interview the riders. She aired the interview during her show. You can find the interview in our Archive for Lightly on the Ground. Thank you Sunny for your kindness and compassion. See the link below to access more information about this ride.
I want to thank Talia of the LDH for sending me this link to the Events Calendar for Pow-Wows
Pow-Wow Event:
- July 3rd – 27 Annual Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe “Green Corn Dance” Pow-Wow Courtland, VA
Have a great weekend.
