‘Twas the day before Christmas and all across the rez…everyone is hoping…even the tribal prez.

Hoping for a safe…peaceful holiday season. Excited children can hardly wait for tomorrow morning. Husbands franticly scour the malls and trading posts for that last minute gift. But what about family members who aren’t close to home?

Wondering how to share holiday cheer with relatives and friends? NAC opens up its phone lines, so that its listeners can send their season’s greetings and best wishes over the airwaves! Join us as we give you an opportunity to give that special holiday radiogram.

Tuesday, December 25: Christmas Day

Well, it is finally here. Children and those young at heart have been waiting for this morning for months.

Christmas morning is here! All that’s left to do is unwrap those presents, share the day with family, and enjoy the communal feast! And let’s not forget giving thanks for family and remembering those who are less fortunate.

We at NAC want to contribute to the spirit of peace and giving, with our gift of music to entertain you and season’s greetings from tribal leaders from around Indian Country. Merry Christmas, season’s greetings and a reminder to keep the Creator in our hearts, from NAC.

Wednesday, December 26: NAC Listener Suggestions

The year is practically over and we’ve talked about everything from sacred sites to stereotypes, politics to poverty, race, religion and raising kids.

With the great diversity of issues happening in Indian Country and the wonderful variety of listeners who tune us in, we try hard to cover it all. But there’s always something we missed.

Join the staff of Native America Calling as we ask you, the listeners, for your suggestions on topics we need to talk about. This is your chance to let the host and producers of Native America Calling know what you want to hear on your electronic talking circle.

Thursday, December 27: Sundance Film Festival

The acclaimed Sundance Film Festival is just weeks away and this year Robert Redford continues his commitment to featuring Native and Aboriginal filmmakers.

This year, seventeen Native films from the U.S., Canada and the South Pacific will be featured - the most ever!

Some films are made entirely in native languages. There is also an “experimental section” that features works that push the envelop in film making.

Two feature films will also premiere at Sundance: “Skins” by Chris Eyre and “The Business of Fancydancing,” by Sherman Alexie. Guests include Bird Runningwater, Programmer for the Sundance Film Festival.

Friday, December 28: Lacrosse

Lacrosse is fast becoming not only a high school or college sport, but is attaining the professional level. To call it only a game or sport minimizes the history of this medicine game of Haudenosaunee heritage.

A gift from the Creator to bind communities, to promote health and strength, and to ensure the continuance of heritage, lacrosse is seeing a re-emergence, in part due to the Iroquois National Men’s Team. But what is the passion that draws lacrosse participants? And how does playing a game honor the Haudenosaunee people?

Guests include Ron Doctor, Coach of the Iroquois Men’s Team; Tony Grey, a member of the Iroquois Men’s Team; and Clark Tall Bull, Coach and Founder of Native Lacrosse, Inc.
