We've only been in business since '82. I know a lot of stations out west, they've had radio for quite a while — quite a bit longer than us — and I think it's been more influential for them in that aspect out west. However, I think it's been important here as well, I mean, since we've been on the air. For example, we have an Honor the Earth Powwow. It's probably the biggest powwow in Wisconsin, and we've got a lot of people, a lot of elders, can't make it to the powwow. So, we go there every year, and we broadcast the powwow live, and that's what we air through the weekend. We preempt all of the programming, and people appreciate it — not just tribal elders, but there's people that are, you know, people that aren't from around here that are in their cabin and it exposes them to our culture. I think that's one thing important that our station does as far as importance to the Indian people, is we act as a liaison between the reservation and the outside world. And I think it's helped over the years, that both groups are more accepting of each other when they have some common ground and help to understand each other and have some commonalities. I think that's one thing the station has done, and we're going to continue to do that, and it makes me proud to be a part of it.
