Native American Heritage Month

wnmu-fm

November is recognized as Native American Heritage Month across the United States, a declaration signed by President George Bush in 1990.  Here in the Upper Peninsula the designation is sparking conversation and events celebrating, honoring and working toward a better system that protects the traditions and culture of indigenous people.  We look at the work being done, the events planned and what it takes to support tribal sovereignty and treaty rights.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
