News StoriesRobert Satiacum Hosts "Tribal Talk" on KLAY 1180 AM Thursdays Noon-1pm The airwaves will crackle with life and carry the sparkling high notes of Native American movers and shakers, as they share their opinions, stories and viewpoints with KLAY’s new talk show host: Puyallup tribal member, Robert Satiacum. Beginning Thursday, at noon August 26th, KLAY 1180 AM will debut Tribal Talk, a Native American news and talk show, that goes beyond the headlines and dares to ask the hard questions where other’s have refused to go. Tribal Talk is a weekly program showcasing local and national news makers and leaders, allowing the listeners to take a seat within the sacred circle, and lean in on the conversations that makes differences in the lives of Native communities.
“Until now, news is receive through the media of small tribal papers, or an obscure internet radio station, which usually delivers the news after the fact, or is simply irrelevant by the time you hear or read it” he adds. The opportunity arose during the time Satiacum was organizing the Day of a Thousand Drums, an effort to restore native names to sacred places and sites, and was doing numerous interviews to promote the event. Prior to taking to the air at KLAY in Lakewood, WA one afternoon, he was over heard by station manager Bob McCloskey, talking about the well being of the tribe and his concern for their future. By the end of the discussion, an offer was made, with Satiacum finally accepting after returning from this year’s annual canoe journey to Neah Bay: The Beginning of the Earth. The shows are booked into November, with subjects ranging from casino’s to boarding schools, spirituality to sweat lodges. “The show’s intention is to build relationships through communication and understanding. For too long bridges have been burned, literally, and I believe now is the time to rebuild these bridges in hopes of getting to know our neighbors in the community, putting ‘unity’ in the community”. |
“This is a first of it’s kind on this level” stated Satiacum, when asked if there were other current Native American radio talk news shows carried in major markets in the state. “What makes this a unique opportunity is, the listener will actually be able to hear live for themselves, the one’s making the news, with opportunity to call in and ask questions and get real time answer’s for themselves”, said Satiacum.|
