NATIVE AMERICA CALLING M-F 12-1pm

WEDNESDAY NEWS: The Menu: Troubling wild rice trend, heirloom Cherokee apples, and a prize-winning New Mexico burger
An unassuming café on Isleta Pueblo just won one of the most sought-after culinary recognitions in New Mexico. Isleta Grill is this year’s Green Chile Cheeseburger Challenge Champion for their frybread version of a regional delicacy.
In northern Wisconsin, this year’s wild rice yields are low. The state Department of Natural Resources blames wind damage and heavy rainfall from a series of strong storms. It’s part of a pattern of diminished wild rice harvests in recent years.
Cherokees cross-bred and cultivated apple varieties when they lived in the southeast U.S., but when the federal government forced a majority of Cherokees to move to Indian Territory (Oklahoma), they left their orchards behind. Now one cultural group is reviving those lost varieties of apples along with the history that goes with it.
These are among the topics we’ll hear about on The Menu, a special feature of Native America Calling on Indigenous food sovereignty and stories with Andi Murphy.
GUESTS
Leticia Romero (Isleta Pueblo), owner of the Isleta Grill
Esiban Parent (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe and Purépecha descent), Manoomin Wiidookaage for the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission
Amber Allen (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), project coordinator at the Noquisi Initiative
Elaine Eisenbraun, executive director of the Noquisi Initiative

NV1 Monday-Friday Noon-1pm

 LANGUAGE REVITALIZATION: APPS, GAMES, AND CLASSROOM LESSONS HELP KEEP NATIVE LANGUAGES VITAL

Education advocates are launching a multi-year program to develop a game and to teach the Denaakk’e language in schools. That and another language teaching apps come at a time when almost all federal funding for language revitalization is eliminated. We’ll also talk with a man about his personal journey learning the Cherokee language, an undertaking that inspired him to learn more about his tribal language’s history and importance in maintaining culture.
