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

Poverty in Rapid City

Poverty in Rapid City

This is a video I did for a very good organization here in Rapid City – SANI-T – the Society for the Advancement of Native Interests Today. Since then I’ve been reading Mohammad Yunus’s book – Creating a World Without Poverty – Social Business and the Future of Capitalism. It’s a wonderful book, and points to a whole new direction from that of this video. But I still like this piece. It shows that poverty is not really something that anybody chooses consciously. It’s 10 minutes long, so you might want to get your slippers on before you watch it.
