Smoke Signals has started a new podcast on the hosting website Spreaker.com. The podcasts can be heard at www.spreak- er.com and then search for “Smoke Signals podcasts.” “I think that pod- casting will augment and complement the news coverage offered to the Grand Ronde Tribal mem- bership by Smoke Signals,” said Editor Dean Rhodes, who hosts the podcast shows. “I can see us highlighting news that occurs between our current publication cycle, which is the first and 15th of each month, and also conducting more in-depth inter- views with Tribal employees and Tribal members to complement stories that appear in the Tribal newspaper.” So far, podcasts have delved into Tribal efforts to help lamprey re- covery, the quick transition from Tribal employee to Tribal Council member, the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855 and Tribal Council member Kathleen George’s service on the state Environmental Quality Commission. The most recent podcast features Cul- tural Resources De- partment Cultural Advisor Bobby Merci- er discussing the 16th annual Agency Creek Round Dance that will be held 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 9-10, in the Tribal gym. Tribal Lands De- partment Manager Jan Looking Wolf Reibach, a multiple Native American Music Awards recipi- ent, granted Smoke Signals blan- ket permission to use his Native flute-oriented music in the podcast. Reibach’s new compact disc, “Flute Medicine,” is the topic of the fifth podcast that was posted on Wednesday, Jan. 24. “We will eventually ramp up to posting a weekly podcast,” Rhodes said. “As we start, I would suggest Tribal members keep checking out the Tribe’s Facebook page or visiting the Spreaker site for new shows.” For more information about the podcast, suggest show ideas or submit a podcast for use, contact Rhodes at 503-879-1463 or dean. rhodes@grandronde.org.
