| Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 30 |
 |
| "Bright days and dark days were both expressions of the Great Mystery, and the Indian reveled in being close to the Great Holiness." |
| --Chief Luther Standing Bear, SIOUX |
| The Great Spirit created a world of harmony, a world of justice, a world that is interconnected, a balanced world that has positive and negative, this way and that way, up and down, man and woman, boy and girl, honest and dishonest, responsible and irresponsible, day and night. In other words, He created a polarity system. Both sides are to be respected. Both sides or anything are sacred. We need to do good and we need to learn from our mistakes. We need to honor what takes place in the daytime and we need to honor what takes place in the nighttime. WE learn that we need to learn and we see what we are supposed to see by staying close to the Great Spirit. We need to be talking to Him all the time, saying "Grandfather, what is it you want me to learn?" |
Great Spirit, let me learn today that all things are sacred. Help me stay close to You, my Creator | | | | | |

radio talk show inspiring people from all walks of life to reflect on
Native American issues and how they influence our lives.
Call toll free to participate at 1-800-996-2848
Monday, January 28, 2008 – Modern American Indian Leaders:
A new book called "Modern American Indian Leaders" tells the story of the lives and works of a sample of Native American leaders who have succeeded in changing the course of history and yet have not received recognition for their achievements. In the face of the many trials that Native people have endured in the last few centuries, a surprising number of Native leaders have still been able to emerge and excel in contemporary society. Who is your favorite modern Native leader and why? Our guest is Dr. Dean Chavers, author of the book and a member of the Lumbee Tribe.
Tuesday, January 29, 2008 – The Psychology of Over Eating:
We all know that obesity and its attendant health issues run rampant through Native communities. But is it a lack of will power on Native people's part to eat right and exercise, or is it something deeper, something psychological? If you frequently over eat when you feel down, eat when you are not hungry or have feelings of guilt after you feel you’ve eaten too much - you may be a compulsive over-eater. What kind of help is available for people who suffer from this condition? Guests include Dr. Dennis Norman, Chief of Psychology at Massachusetts General Hospital and a Cheyenne descendant and Wanda, a Native American member of Overeaters Anonymous.
Wednesday, January 30, 2008 – Book of the Month: A Cherokee Ancestry:
Cherokee history has been marked by the formation of different tribes – the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the Eastern Band of Cherokee, and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokees – from the same original people. Author Robert J. Conley's new book titled "A Cherokee Ancestry" is a quick reference for many of the places, things, and people who are connected to this group. Have you ever wondered about the Trail of Tears, or Sequoyah's syllabary? Are you part Cherokee? Robert J. Conley, a member of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee, joins us.
Thursday, January 31, 2008 – An Elderly Workforce:
The U. S. Census Bureau estimates by the year 2013 there will be 81.5 million Americans age 55 or older – a 30 percent increase in this age bracket. When it comes to employment this statistic likely means an increasingly older workforce. When taking a look at this demographic, how does it apply to Native communities? What are the concerns of both elder workers and their employers? Does ageism play a role when an older person is on the job, or applies for a job? Does the answer of where to find more dependable and reliable employees rest on an elderly workforce? Guests TBA.
Friday, February 1, 2008 – 2008 State of Indian Nations Address:
Much like the message coming earlier in the week from President Bush in his State of the Union address, another important message is being sent out from Washington, D.C. The President of the National Congress of American Indians, Joe Garcia of Ohkay Owingeh in New Mexico, will make the State of Indian Nations Address on Thursday, January 31. As we reflect on President Garcia's speech, what are the topics that piqued your interest? What are the most urgent and pressing needs in Native America? Guest analysts include Antonia Gonzales, Host/Producer of National Native News and a member of the Navajo Nation.

| "We grieve more because we have been disconnected from our earth, our first Mother, our spiritual Mother." |
| --Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA |
| Where does all life come from? The Earth. Where does everything return to? The Earth. Where do values come them? The Earth. Many people are lost because they don't know the importance of connection to the Earth. They connect to money, to relationships, to success, to goals. When we are disconnected from the Earth, we have feelings of being sad or lost. When we are connected to the Earth, we feel warm and secure. |
Great Spirit, help me to stay connected to the Mother Earth. | | | |
