Tillicum Wawa
Rhonda "Shusli" Baseler
Eugene Johnson
“Tillicum Wawa” is a Chinook Jargon phrase which, loosely translated, means “The people speak”.
Chinook Jargon was a trade language used by Natives in this region before Europeans arrived here. It was a combination of Salish, Nootka, and Chinook languages. After explorers, traders, and other non-natives arrived in this area, French and English words were integrated into the jargon. It was widely used to communicate between people of different tribes, nationalities, and races.
That is why we chose the name. Tillicum Wawa is here to help represent the under-represented voice of the Native peoples of this nation. To be a “voice for the voiceless”.

We discussed a variety of issues, took it a little easy and relaxed on this show after two intense ones. Samantha discussed the 13 indigenous grandmothers and read her memorial to John Talley who influenced many people with "Indian World." We also have a box in the KBOO lobby for donations to the children of Pine Ridge for shoes, clothes, and school supplies requested by Wakiyan, the young warrior who was pepper sprayed at White Clay.

Season of Change
It is a season of change. The world has changed in so many ways in such a little amount of time and there is lots of change happening at this moment. There is lots of activity in the world as the people seek to have something other than the wealth being sucked away to the top, racism (institutional and overt), etc. Things just aren't working too harmoniously and it is up to us to think and act to foment that change.
We had special guest Samantha King in the studio with us as well.

Shusli and Sean |
Doug Schofield of the Winnemem Wintu joined us at Tillicum Wawa: Voices of the People, in a discussion of the War Dance they held on the McCloud River a couple of weeks ago to protect their coming of age ceremony from folks who have no respect for such events. He also gave information on how people can help which can also be found at their website: winnimemwintu.us.
We also talked with Sean Cruz about food security in Indian country, from hunger to obesity, diabetes and other health issues, the history and current issues, and the work he is doing in creating a Native American food co-op.

We are dedicating this week's show, 5/28/10 to Our Mother Earth. In light of all the the autrocities that are occuring to her all the time and especially right now in the gulf of Mexico. The music will reflect our respect and encourage us , hopefully , to pray and know, that the Great One is really in control-always. Let the evil greedy ones see the error of their ways and enlighten them to the world's real needs. The People..
We hope you enjoy the show and the music and take the time to pray, to meditate and to speak up as we have always done well.
Cudos to President Obama for putting a stop on all oil well drilling -on the land, in shallow waters and in the deep seas.! That means Alaska, who were getting equipment in place for more drilling. We must demand the stop be in place until the day comes if or when the companies have the technology to NOT have any leaks at all, and in case something happens, they must have the technolgy to fix it NOW!
But more realistically we need to go to other types of fuel. Electric, solar, wind and horse power, and leave the oil in the ground.
We Natives have always lived in balance with our Mother. And it is up to us to stop the insanity, and disrespect of our Earth.
One can call Our Pres @ 1-202-456-1414, his web is www.whitehouse.gov to send him your thoughts on these matters.
One can call our Oregon Senators: Jeff Merkley@503-326-3386 and at his office in Wash DC:1-202-224-3753: email "senator@merkley.senate.gov". And Ron Wyden@541-431-0610 and his office in Wash DC:1-202-224-5244.Website : www.wyden.senate.gov.
And one can call our Oregon State Rep -Peter DeFazio@541-465-6732 and his office in Wash DC:1-202-225-6416. Website: www.defazio.house.gov.
Our Oregon Governor@503-378-4582. His website: www.governor.oregon.gov. Lets let him know that we won't tolerate any drilling off of our coasts!
Email them with letters of your thoughts and suggestions, or call them to express yourself on this disrespect going on.
We hope you like the show this week. Let us know by posting your "comments" on our "Indian Country" page. Your calls into the studio are great and we love to hear from you!. The station prefers that our listeners post comments on the "comments" tab at our "Indian Country" page. That way they know you are listening. And it will show the need to have an American Indian show, like ours, on the KBOO radio station.
We will be back on in 2 weeks 6/11/10. Another show will demo their shows like we are demoing ours , So we will allternate with us every other week. This next Friday 6/4/10 is a folk music show with Flower Elliott. It should be good also.
We hope you will join us again on 6/11/10 Fri from 1:30-3:00pm
Thank you / Wado , Samantha
