SPECIAL MP3 REBROADCAST TO CELEBRATE NATIVE AMERICANS DAY

I do not share the same enthusiasm for Columbus Day while a number of people celebrate it.
Instead of Columbus Day, I am celebrating Native Americans Day by restoring an over one year old archive of a 5.5 hour special program call Tulpe, which paid tribute to the Native American Indians.
The more I know about the actions of Columbus, the more I do not like that man. Even my students are telling me that he was not nice.
As great as his explorations might be for the Europeans, it was an apocalypse and "genocide" for natives.
If you missed the special program last year or would like to hear it again, below are the links to the complete program Tulpe.
