  • Pete 7/23/07: "Boozhoo Jean, Chi Miigwech (great thanks) for selecting the Inuit/Indian games for your eclectic program. Native people of North America have much to offer contemporary urban society. However our voices are seldom heard and what little "native news" is covered by print and airwave media is usually derogatory. So it is a pleasure to finally hear some positive coverage of Native American traditional activities. Apane minoseyan omaa aking = 'always go along well here on earth' Mii iw (thats it)."
