2007 - North American Union :
A lot of politics are being played when it comes to passing new U.S. immigration laws. What are the real issues impacting this red hot, national debate? What factors are influencing our lawmakers and how do they decide to vote? Could a new immigration bill be a prelude to an economic union between the U.S. , Canada , and Mexico ? Guests are Roberto Rodriquez, writer of Column of the Americas, and Jerome Corsi, author of a new book called The Late Great USA: the Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada.

2007 - Repatriation vs. Berkeley :
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) provides a process for public institutions, museums and universities to return cultural items like human remains, funerary objects and other sacred objects. But for some institutions, like the University of California-Berkeley, which holds the second largest collection of Native items in the country, repatriation could deplete their research material. Who will win this tug of war? Guests are Teara Farrow, Cultural Resources Manager for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla and cultural specialist Lalo Franco of the Wukchumni Tribe of California .
Wednesday, August 1, 2007 - Let Your Hands Do the Talking :
Our hands are good for a lot of things. They allow us to complete a variety of tasks, but can they tell a story or provide the stage for a heated conversation? For hundreds of years Native Americans have let their hands do the talking through sign language. At one time sign language was used out of necessity in order to communicate with other tribes. So what are its current uses? How are tribes keeping sign language from being lost? Guests include Wayne Plume, a Blood First Nation sign talker and Dr. Lanny Realbird, a Crow educator at Little Bighorn College.
Thursday, August 2, 2007 - Benefits of Breastfeeding :
Medical experts directly link breastfeeding to good health. They have found that babies who are breastfed are less likely to have ear infections, diarrhea, colds and the flu. Traditionally this method of nurturing the child was the only way. As mothers keep on with this tradition, what are their children gaining? Can breastfeeding a baby keep it from having to deal with obesity? Can breastfeeding help curb type-2 diabetes? Guests include Sue Murphy of the Pima Indian Medical Center Breastfeeding Promotion Program in Arizona .
Friday, August 3, 2007 - The Black Caucus & Tribal Sovereignty :
The controversial vote to remove descendants of African slaves, called Freedmen, as citizens of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma may jeopardize the sovereignty of all tribes. Disgruntled Freedmen approached members of the Congressional Black Caucus to restore their citizenship and one member, Rep. Diane Watson of California , is threatening to cut millions of dollars in federal funding to the Cherokees and now the House Financial Services Committee has voted to cut HUD funding to the tribe. Have the Freedmen pushed this issue into the danger zone? Guests TBA.
