I have really enjoyed being a co-host,co-producer on the native american show "Tillicum Wawa" on KBOO these last few years, along with Shusli, Eugene, Louisand our wonderful engineer - Kurt. It's been a real pleasure and a fulfillment of my contirbution to the world and the Native world in particular.
I've been volunteering at KBOO for 25 yrs off and on.Starting with John Talley on "Indian World" for 22 years. He was my mentor and friend. He encouragement through my life. What a blessing to have know you all!!
I've made some really great friends!,I've learned alot about our "Indian World" and have enjoyed bringing you, along with the rest of our crew, some of the best and most up to date info on what is going on in our world.
Native news is blacked out on the three major networks- ABC<CBS<NBC! That is why Native programming is so important. Please don't hesitate to apply to KBOO to start a new Native program!!
And don't forget to go to the Powwows and bring your friends and family. It is important to keep us together and to show others that we are all still here!! oho
It is time for us to move on.
Wado, thankyou,
Donadagohuhi , until we meet again!!Etsi Yona (freemamabear@yahoo.com)

Gonna miss you guys
<p>One of my favorite shows, and IMHO one of the most important on KBOO. You guys made it personal, local and direct. Always informative, enlightening and very responsive, gentle and forgiving to callers -- I thank you for that.</p><p>Sadly, the replacement show (Wisdom of the Elders) is way too much like NPR/CPB for my liking.</p><p>'Til we meet again, Adios Amigos......</p><p>Jim</p>
Thank you for your encouragement again!

sorry!
<p>I'm sorry to hear that your show was cancelled. I think that you should continue your work and maybe someone else will give the time to re-vamp and keep the torch lit!</p>
