August 24, 2006By . Thursday, August 24 - Corn Husk Art:
Not wasting the gifts of nature is a common trait among Native Peoples. And so it’s easy to see how Native cultures who grow corn have also found other uses for cornhusks. Some cultures use cornhusks in their cooking; others use it in their art. Dolls have been fashioned from cornhusks and decorated with pine needles and other items found in nature. How is the art of cornhusk doll making being practiced today? Guests include Judy Jourdan/ (Oneida) Instructor & Artisan/ Oneida Nation in Wisconsin and Laura Morrison (Muscogee Creek) Arts & Education Department Manager/Chickasaw Nation

August 2006By . Friday, August 18 - Native in the Spotlight: Linda Lomahaftewa
When the Institute of American Indian Arts opened its doors in 1962 Linda Lomahaftewa was one of its first students. Her creativity was groomed and upon graduation she went on to seek more education in the area of Fine Arts. She accomplished that mission when she graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute with both her Bachelors in Fine Arts and her Masters in Fine Arts degrees. After a few teaching positions, she returned to her old high school and began teaching. She has influenced several up and coming Native artists. Her own work is world renowned. She is inspired from both her Hopi and Choctaw cultures. Today her work is in public collections from Arizona to Washington, D.C. and Alberta, Canada. As this year’s Santa Fe Indian Market kicks off we salute one artist who has been a part of Indian Market for more than 25 years. Linda Lomahaftewa is our August “Native in the Spotlight.” Recommended by Little_Running_Deer, 8/28/2006.

August 2006By . Thursday, August 17 - What Makes Indigenous Art, Indigenous?
What is Indigenous Art? It’s an age-old question that centers around how an artist self-identifies and a concern about being pigeonholed. Several artists have attempted to address this question through an exhibit called, “Relations indigenous dialogue.” How can art do more than please the buyer? Do Native artists have an extra responsibility to save culture and challenge leadership? As the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts prepares to kick off its annual Santa Fe Indian Market we take a look at the dialogue going on between some prominent Native artists and the resulting exhibit, “Relations Indigenous Dialogue.” Guests are Bob Haozous (Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache) Sculptor, and Joseph Sanchez (Taos Pueblo) Exhibits Curator/ Institute of American Arts Museum.

August 2006By . Tuesday, August 15 - Repairing the Pipeline:
Crude oil prices soared quickly at the news of massive corrosion in the BP Prudhoe Bay pipeline. The company says it will now have to shut down the oil operation and replace most of the pipeline. That’s expected to cost an estimated $170 Billion. This shutdown will have a major effect on American consumers and especially Alaska Natives. The Prudhoe Bay site is the nation’s largest oil field. What are the residual costs or hidden costs to Alaska’s Native Peoples? Guests are Dr. Dorothy Pender (Inupiaq) Pipeline Engineering Supervisor/ Alyeska Pipeline, and Nels Anderson (Yupiq) member of the Alaska Rural Energy Action Council.

By . Friday, June 20, 2008 – Fuming About Gas Prices:
We’re all feeling pain at the pump these days. Gas has hit record high prices and is only going to get more expensive in the foreseeable future. Are high fuel costs causing tribes to cut back on travel? Is it having an impact on CHR services, elderly meal delivery programs, or for those tribes that offer such services, tribal public transportation programs? Are individuals forced to get more creative to get to their destinations? Have you started carpooling, bicycling or using mass transit to ease the strain on your wallet? If so, you’re not alone. Guests TBA. Recommended by Little_Running_Deer, 6/14/2008.
