Speak Dog, Speak!

I've been working on our original website Oyate Ta Olowan.We've been working on adding digital downloads to the site, but it's still a challenge. Oyate is a public radio series that we did on traditional Native American music. We did 52 half hour shows and traveled over 100,000 miles collecting music from all over the Americas. It was a while ago, but people still seem to love it, so we keep offering the shows for sale.

It's all a part of our little press Many Kites Press. Life is so amazing, and so full, but we keep on trucking. I hope things are going well for all of you, and that continue to create wonderful things. Later, Milt Lee



Neurogenocide: an overview

Neurogenocide: an overview

We are working on a rather large project on the history of education, the path of learning, and the school systems in the United States.  When it is completed, it may end up being a series of several hours, but that will become clearer as we move along.  Today, I thought I would post a short demo reel of some of the folks that we have interviewed over the last year.  This will give you an idea of where we are going, but please understand that this does not include any of the pieces that show how long it takes to learn “anything”, and it also does not include any of the students that have suffered from Neurogenocide, and it certainly does not include any of the school rooms where neurogenocide is happening, and of course it does not include all the wonderful things that we want to show folks about how education could be done – that would let people grow up excited about learning, and totally engaged in the process of learning.
