Join use as we turn to the pages of several art books that feature the words and work of some Native artists that have made an impact on both tribal nations and the world at large. On this prerecorded edition of Native America Calling, we hear about the work of three Native artists, including Chippewa visual artist David Bradley, Kevin Red Star of the Crow Nation and Lee Marmon of Laguna Pueblo. We learn more about what has inspired them over the years and what art has brought to their life.

Quilting has a rich history in Native America. The craft was first introduced to Native women by European settlers but quilting has evolved in many tribes across Native America. Are you a quilter? How do you integrate your cultural values into the quilts you make? And what role do quilts play in your life and your community? Join us for an encore edition of our conversation earlier this year with quilters like Margaret Wood (Navajo/Oklahoma Seminole) quilter, Emily Proctor (Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians) quilter, Dr. Marsha MacDowell, folklorist and professor of art and art history at Michigan State University and Carla Hemlock (Mohawk) master quilter.

Have you ever seen a film that changed your life? Has a movie ever altered how you see the world? There are some great Native films playing around the country right now. Join us as we preview a few of them. The Cherokee Word for Water is a narrative film that tells the true story of a fight for water in a small Cherokee community. La Donna Harris: Indian 101 is a documentary that chronicles the life of Comanche activist La Donna Harris. We’ll speak with the filmmakers of their films about how they use images to share their message.
