NATIVE REPORT Broadcast Premiere: January 6, 2022 5 Full Episodes • 3 MN Native Arts Segments • 3 MN Native Language Segments 6 Lesson Plans Series made available to all MPTA stations through MN Channel and Nationally through NETA DESCRIPTION: Native Report illuminates and preserves Native culture and traditional ways in our 'Language and Arts' segments. We tackle awareness efforts surrounding the preservation of language! We hear from Native artists, and in season 17 that included one specializing in traditional applique with a style of bright colors and Ojibwe floral designs. IMPACT: Our goal for Native Report’s language and arts segments is to raise awareness and increase appreciation of our region’s Native American artists and raise awareness of efforts to foster Minnesota’s Native languages. Each year, we receive feedback that we are doing just that. “Many people got in touch to tell me that they had seen the story about my book and research on Native Report. They commented on how throughout and informative the segment was…” – Linda LeGarde Grover “Great story. Loved hearing about the art and hearing Herb’s philosophy especially on sacredness in your acts and thoughts.” – Jake Kapsner “Indian Country has so many untold stories that go unheard. Carrying those stories forward builds a better understanding of who we are as a Nation. The best part of being interviewing by Native Report is that we get to control the narrative! Native Report is great platform for Indigenous people to be heard and seen.” – Herb Fineday Jr.
