Award Given to Radio Program Featuring Peltier Book
For the third year in a row, "Different Drums" has been honored with a
"Goldie" award by the Alaska Broadcasters' Association.
The 1999 "Goldie" honored an episode of the weekly show which featured
readings from the prison writings of Native American political prisoner
Leonard Peltier.
The award-winning program will be repeated on the internet and uplinked by
satellite for access by public radio stations several times during the week
of November 16-23, 1999. The program features readings from the book "My
Life is My Sundance - The Prison Writings of Leonard Peltier" and
conversation about the Peltier case by editor Harvey Arden, former writer
for National Geographic and author of several books documenting the wisdom
of Native American traditional elders. Music composed by Native Americans
and others in honor of Peltier is also included in the program.
The Peltier issue is the subject of a current month-long demonstration
capaign near the White House in Washington DC. Peltier's supporters, who
include Amnesty International, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Danielle Mitterand and
former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, are calling for President Clinton
to grant executive clemency to Peltier.
"Different Drums," a weekly one-hour program of contemporary Native
American music and issues, which is distributed to public radio stations in
the United States and Canada by the American Indian Radio on Satellite
Network, is created in Homer, Alaska by producer Tricia King.
"Different Drums" has garnered six state and national awards within its
first three years of production, also having received, in addition to the
two previous Goldies, a Silver Reel from the National Federation of
Community Broadcasters, the Communicator Crustal Award of Excellence, and a
First Place Award from the Alaska Press Club.
