EPISODES Artist Lisa Kosmo
Native Report sits down with a mother and artist who shares her passion behind her piece that was commissioned by the La Pointe arts committee on Madeline Island, WI. Sihasin The Diné (Din-ah) band Sihasin uses a blend of punk folk and traditional Navajo to create space for others to learn about Diné culture while acting as a call to action for issues such as climate change. Call of the Moose To make a traditional moose call, it takes parts from many different trees. Chi Ma’iingan takes us along as he harvests the different trees and designs a functional moose call. We then enter Chi Ma’iingan’s workshop to watch him put together a working moose call. This is more than a hunt for Herb; he is also passing on this tradition to family. Watch as he scouts the 1854 treaty territories for the perfect hunting grounds. National Coalition of Native American Language Schools and Programs We sit down with Leslie Harper, President of the National Coalition of Native American Language Schools and Programs, which advocates for the use of Indigenous languages as a medium of instruction. Leah Lemm During Leah Lemm’s time working in the radio industry, she found that there wasn’t a variety of voices being heard on the airwaves, so she stepped out of her comfort zone and created her own podcast. She truly believes that everyone has a story to share, and her list of people to interview keeps growing. KBPT Radio Native Report hears from Bois Forte Tribal Community Radio, who hosted an outdoor concert featuring Artists War Bonnet and Sihasin.
“They cover diverse subject matter with an in-depth approach that you don’t see anywhere else.”

“Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your support in allowing us to speak about our experiences with everything cannabis. It has been a tough go, and sometimes we feel the people are not being heard at the legislative level. Very much appreciate your guys’ interest in our operations and the future of cannabis.” – Jeff Brinkman, subject for hemp segment

Almanac North’s Core Conversations PREMIERE: February 24, 2023 DESCRIPTION
Core Conversations is a quarterly public service program that thoroughly discusses core issues impacting our community. The primary goal is to educate, enlighten, and alert our viewers about the big issues surrounding our region and impacting the state. By using the combination of having in- person expert panelists in studio to answer questions as well as in-depth journalistic video segments, the program offers viewers the full scope of an issue. This project is to act as a trustworthy resource that our viewers can use for in-depth, civil, educational discourse on an issue instead of having the 30-second soundbite other news stations provide.
