KBOO Cancels Mitakuye Oyasin Radio Show In Portland OR USA
The hosts of a radio show called “Mitakuye Oyasin” in Portland, Oregon got a notice from the manager that the show is being canceled on a pretext that the previous host claimed the name of the show to be a trademark, which is not true and will rise lots of objections if there is such an attempt.
Here is the link to the site of the radio station hosting the show

This show is going to be the second indian show closed for some unclear reasons.
The show is really very interesting, it brings up many important issues and gives lots of food for thought.

(7.) I would like to speak on the behalf of the show Mitakuye Oyasin which is said to be canceled on some strange pretext. I’ve been the follower of the show for half a year and grew to become a great fan of it. The show is unlike many others, and rises the issues that I heard of only there. I’m sure that the show is extremely benefetting all over the world as well as your community in Portland, Oregon, USA. ~Alexander Caksi, Smolensk region, Russia
(8.) We are your audience from Moscow, Smolensk, Vorkuta, Armavir Russia, Kishinev, Moldavia, and Riga, Latvia. We’ve been following one of your evening radio shows Mitakuye Oyasin for about a year now, regardless of the time or language differences. As a matter fact it has been recommended and adopted by our English learning students who have found it not only helpful for learning a language, but quite enjoyable, exciting and insightful into indigenous cultures from the other hemisphere, with traditional songs and stories.
With regards to such a program we have learned to understand the true meaning of being “we are all related” and could draw attention of the people from this part of the world to the problems of your people.
In our understanding the “Mitakuye Oyasin” show is a collective representation of all North American indigenous nations, all peoples, not to exclude the host and guest of the show.
It has now been brought to our attention by inquiry that the Mitakuye Oyasin show has been canceled due to inadequate, despot, if not fascist, management. As far as we are concerned, the show is popular and has audience not only in three of our countries, but include broadcasting to Germany, Spain, Italy and Ireland and many others also.
Thus, the show being so popular not only in Portland, Oregon, USA, we can conclude that it was not a matter of its profitability or lack of popularity with the audience. It is our opinion, and it is a shame that a good and interesting show can be closed on some uncertain reasons, and all that is happening in the country that claims to be the nurturing cradle of democracy and justice.
