Radio station helps keep rural reservation communities connected by sharing stories
Alfred Walking Bull isn't a morning person. Still, for nearly a year now, he's been waking up before sunrise on Friday mornings to host Grand Entry on KFAI, a community radio station in Minneapolis.
"I don't hear a lot of Native music on the air," Walking Bull said. "Particularly pow wow music."
Walking Bull is one of several volunteer hosts of Native programs at KFAI. He grew up on the Rosebud Reservation in western South Dakota. He didn't hear pow wow music on the radio back then because there were few Native-owned stations at the time.
