InterTribal presents:

17 Years and It All Comes Down to This

Greetings and Good Morning! Welcome to your weekend!

I need to apologize for not being in the studio live. It seems someone in my house has tested positive for covid. Due to Station Policy, I can not come in. Lucky for us I was able to get the show completed and turned in before I began to feel ill.

Today’s show is the last fresh new show of InterTribal. It is my understanding that going forward WRIR will play reruns. I just don’t know for how long.

This show does not begin to express my thanks to all the labels, artists and guests who have appeared on InterTribal. But I would like to thank everyone who has contributed content in any form. No I am not able to name them all, but a few are:

Canyon Records, Makoche Music, SilverWave Records, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, Hondo Mesa Music, Owls’ Nest Studio, Tomahawk Records, Vanguard Records, Capitol Records, and so many other independent labels.

Special Guests: Dennis Banks, Felipe Rose (formerly of the Village People), Mato Nanji, Shelley Morningsong, Gabriel Ayala, Steven Rushingwind, Michael Bucher, Flying Down Thunder and Rise Ashen, Members of Sun Shadows, The late Red Hawk, Steve Wyse, Wayne Silas Jr., Keith Secola, Robert Mirabal, Will Clipman, Cary Morin, Pura Fe, Aaron White, Stoney Creek, Youghtanund, Wolf Creek Cherokee Tribal Members and various other guests.

Thank you to Vanessa for joining me a few times as a very special guest. It was always a pleasure to have you in studio.

Special production and co-hosts: Kalani Pioeh and Little Raven, thanks for all the fun and good times. You made my work a little easier.

Again, my apologies for not remembering everyone over the past 17 years. If you are not named, please know you are still appreciated.

I pray you enjoy this last show. No words of wisdom, just lots of music and some goodbyes. In the end, if it had not be for you the listener, InterTribal would not have lasted as long.

Walk in Peace,
Stay Heathy,

Tall Feathers

The Sun Rising

Welcome to your weekend, welcome to your Saturday!

InterTribal is the show that makes the sun rise.

Greetings to all of you. Today’s show is #5 in our countdown to July 9, 2022, the celebration of 17 years and our last new InterTribal show.

This week, the universe tested my metal to see how determined I was to produce this week’s show. My internet was out all day Thursday and had to use my cellular hotspot just to produce the show. But I hung in and got it done. So here, for your listening pleasure: The Sun Rising.

Walk in Peace,
Tall Feathers

The Rain Song

DUE TO TECHNICAL ISSUES, MOST OF THIS SHOW DID NOT AIR. THE LAST TWO HOURS WILL BE AIRED ON 05/21/2022.

Good morning and welcome to your weekend!

Today is Saturday, May 14th, 2022. That means just 8 more weeks until the Anniversary show of InterTribal. Can you believe it has been 17 years since InterTribal aired for the first time at 6 am, July 9, 2005? It has been an amazing journey. I need to say Thank You to each of you because you made this show a popular Saturday morning wake up show. All the memories I have are fond memories of all the drives into the station, especially during winter. Those were always fun. Then there were the drives from Mid-May to July when the sun would begin to crest the horizon before I arrived at the station. These memories also bring with it all the friends I have made here at the station and out doing radio stuff at the various pow-wows or all my interviews on-air or pre-recorded.

These memories make the following difficult to announce because it is like giving up a part of one’s self. I failed to mention it during this session of InterTribal, but next week, I will be officially announcing the end of InterTribal is near. Bringing this show full circle, I will air the last show of InterTribal on July 9, 2022 from 6 to 9 am. We have just 8 more shows after today’s show. I have tried to find volunteers who wanted to learn radio broadcast production in hopes they would take over the show, and so far have not found anyone. That stated, WRIR is committed to welcoming the next person wanting to host an Indigenous radio show.

Let us not mourn the loss of this radio show, but instead, celebrate the 8 more shows to go. It has been a wonderful journey.

Thank you – Tall Feathers
