Mythbusting the feds!!! and some historical facts about them Anishnabie!!!

We we are not busting on the feds...not us...not the Aboriginal Voices...so you know if Steve "the PM" Harper is reading this...please dont unleash the power of office out on our little show that reaches millions...thanks to the Itunes, yes that is right mr harper we are now published to the masses that use the itunes to get there daily quota of music and podcasts and well what ever else they like to do its call free society, maybe you should look it up...anyways back to the myths...seems the minister of indian affairs was spouting off about the indian problem in canada and that its not that of a financial one because canada already gives the indians 9 billion smackeroos...I could tell you more but the fine folks at the AFN did a nice job on their pamphlet...you should check it out...its PDF and every thing...

$9 billion myth

seems we are preempted tonight!!!

The show tonight is being asked to sit down a stretch, so that the homeless coalition can have a 24 hour telethon for well the homeless...seems that the southern portion of ontario will be participating in some form or another...The CFRC has donated the airwaves for this cause...so if you feel moved then please donate...and by donate I mean just about anything...money, your time maybe some food...it all helps...

ps.
oh yah seems that all you Book donators out there have to stand and give yourself a round of applause, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario James K. Bartleman's book drive reached over 100,000 books...putting a total of over 700,000 previously enjoyed books in the hands of Northern Ontario First Nations Communities...

Snow, The Northern Cree and the Juno's how does it all relate?

well despite the call for the mother of all snowstorms tuesday night...we still got together Doug and I to send out the Aboriginal Voices program...speaking of the Woodland Cree, the pow-wow group the Northern Cree and the fact that they is nominated for a Juno (Canada's highest musical honour much like the U.S.A Grammy's)...anyways, I am not for certian but I think the Juno's may drop the ball and not have any Aboriginal(native, indain, indigenous person take your pick) play the live broadcast, or give the aboriginal music award away at "ceramonies held late last week"...
so I figure we put a stop that sort of business...

send an email the power is yours...

Hockey Night in Canada on CBC

Hockey Game on FEB 3rd, 7 p.m. Pacific Time

Please tune into the CBC for the hockey game at 7 p.m. (PT) on
Saturday, Feb 3rd, Calgary @ Vancouver , as the National Anthem will be
sung in Cree, by a 12 year-old girl from Saddle Lake First Nation.

Her name is Akina Shirt and, apparently, this is the first time the Anthem will be sung in another language beside English and French, at a national hockey
league game.

Tis sad I think that we have to have a "first time" for singing/speaking our first nations languages on a national stage in Canada such as the "Hockey Night in Canada"

But I also would like to stand with the rest and congratulate Akina Shirt on her accomplishment!!

way to go...

Interview with Cheryl Mitchell Golf Pro

Yep this is an interview from a while back, and Doug impressed me with his knowledge of the game.

Cheryl Mitchel is a First Nations women from South Western Ontario who happens to be a Golf pro, and also happens to hit the bean further then my friend Dave and quite frankly further then I care to walk in a day...but I suppose we should expect nothing less from a Golf Pro.

sit back and enjoy yourself with the sounds of Cheryl Mitchel Golf Pro...
