InterTribal presents:

Good morning and welcome to your weekend.

Today we celebrate the Winter Solstice and anticipate the Holiday of Christmas. I can remember when I was a child I used to write greeting cards that had Yuletide written on them. I also remember asking my mother about Seasons Greetings. What it meant and why would it be used.

She explained, if you wish to give a holiday greeting to a stranger, but you did not know what holiday they celebrated it would be polite to say “seasons greetings”. “It was a sign of respect”, she said. Today people get so up in arms about people who say “Happy Holidays”. These are not statements of war against your beliefs, these statements are signs of openness and welcoming the existence of  those who believe different than you.

Happy Holidays to each and everyone.

Walk in Peace,
Tall Feathers

Good morning and welcome to your weekend.

I don’t know about you but I feel as though the year is racing to its conclusion. In two weeks it will be Christmas morning, and in a week after that we will be starting the year off with InterTribal on January 1, 2022.

Once again you will find holiday songs sprinkled throughout the show.

Happy Holidays everyone.

Walk in Peace,

Tall Feathers

Good morning and happy weekend!

The community fire is lit and the show is packed full of music. December has arrived and thus it is time for some holiday music.

The Dominion Holiday Parade is marching down Broad street at 10:15 am. So come out and enjoy the festivities.

Walk in Peace,

Good morning and welcome to your weekend.

This Saturday is the last one we have in November. Thanksgiving has been honored and many people went out bargain hunting yesterday.

The music selected to day brings a mix of fun, somber, and holiday cheer. Now that the threshold for holiday music has been crossed, playing as much or as little holiday music is fair game.

This past week Joanne Shenandoah left this world and joined the ancestors. While many of us are mourning Joanne’s death I wanted to begin to plan a tribute show soon. So stay posted for the details soon.

Today there won’t be an official This Week in Indian Country. Instead I hope the music will speak for itself as a reflection of the history on this land.

Blessings to each and everyone of you.

Good morning and welcome to your weekend!

Now that the temperatures have fallen below freezing, I think it is time to invite your to gather round the community fire. This is the weekend before Thanksgiving. I understand there is much happening to prepare and many will soon begin their travels or your guest’s arrival is expected soon.

My hope is the selected music will help you start your day with a smile on your face. So, grab that cup of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, get your muffins in the oven and the eggs in the frying pan as the music provides the mood of your morning.

Today News and Information is listed below.

The 5th Annual Pocahontas Reframed Film Festival enters its second day at the VMFA. Visit the website here for more details and get your tickets here.

This Week in Indian Country we will hear two stories:

Aliyah Chaves interviews Steven Peters, Creative Director of Smoke Sygnals on the Indian Country Today news network. The segment is called A Wampanoag retelling of Thanksgiving.

Next, Mark Trahant interviews both Jodi Archambault and Jourdan Bennett-Begaye regarding the White House Summit.

You may watch the entire news broadcast of the stories shared in the show by clicking the links above or visit Indian Country Today.

Feel free to submit local indigenous news that you would like to see included, email Katie Tall Feathers at: [email protected] to share the details.

Walk in peace and Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

InterTribal presents:

Good morning and welcome to your weekend.

This past week we celebrated Veteran’s Day. A time to recognize all the brave men, women, and the families who served this nation.

Today’s show was created with this celebration in mind. Not so much the selection of music with warrior or veteran in the lyrics or titles, but rather, blending the selection of music in such a way that one may find it enjoyable and entertaining. You may discover some new to me musical artist with many having just released new music.

This Week in Indian Country will not be included in this episode of InterTribal. Family issues as well as animal issues made it very challenging to create the show.

I do want to add that movement is being made to add Jess to the show as a co-host and co-producer. So there is much to look forward to in 2022.

InterTribal presents:

Good morning and welcome to your weekend!

This is the first Saturday of November and the chilly weather has arrived. Time to strike the fire and warm up the community fire circle. I also want to share with you that November is Native American Heritage Month.

Today I will play the final segment of the Felipe Rose interview. This has been a very surreal time for me. I keep thinking about when I was in high school dancing to disco and enjoying the music of The Village People. Felipe Rose is an Icon in the music industry.

Remember, tonight is when we turn our clocks back one hour.

Walk in Peace

Good morning and welcome to your weekend!

The last Saturday in October has finally arrived and with it, All Hallows Eve. Today’s show was created with this in mind. The music, though not Halloween specific, is focused on the spirits, ancestors, and remembering our loved ones who have journeyed on ahead of us.

In today’s fourth segment of my interview with Felipe, we learn about what he has been doing during Covid-19 lockdown. Felipe created a Podcast called; Disco Chronicles. This podcast can be found on YouTube and is filled with talented people who played various roles in the era of Disco. Click the link below for to explore the channel for yourself.

Today I also announce some exciting news regarding the direction of this radio show.

Thank you for all the love and support you provided during WRIR’s Fall Fund Drive. Remember it is not too late to donate.

Walk in Peace,

Good morning and welcome to your weekend!

WRIR is in the midst of our Fall Fund Drive and I cannot wait to get me new Tee Shirt.

With the pandemic, once again in full swing, I am unable to be in the studio at this time. This saddens me because there usually is so much activity with fans stopping in to say “hi”.

This week’s show is 16 years in the making. Felipe Rose, formally of the Village People, finally found time to sit down with Tall Feathers for an interview. They spoke about what he is doing and how he arrived to where he is now in his life. Today, InterTribal is sharing three segments of this interview with you, and will follow in two weeks with more of the interview.

InterTribal presents:

Good morning and welcome to your weekend!

This week’s audio production was high paced, stressed, while also very exciting. Fund Drive time is always very active and requires many of our volunteers to get involved. The same is true even during a pandemic.

Those of us who preproduce our shows need to curate them with positive and upbeat tempos. This Fun-drive I have a very special guest who, through the magic of technology, will join me prerecorded on the October 23, 2021 show. This special guest is revealed during today’s show.

This Week in Indian Country provides two stories sourced from Indian Country Today. This weeks segment introduces you Ashley Callingbull and Meghan Sullivan. Both are interviewed by Mark Trahant.

Be sure to plan for donating during InterTribal. I will have some extra treats for you when you do.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Walk in Peace,
Tall Feathers
