Creek (Mvskoke) Hymns "Mi HvlweTvlofv Min" at OU's Native Voices Over The Airwaves (Nov. 14, 2019)

Broadcast over OU’s WNAD radio station, the Indians for Indians radio show aired from 1941 through the mid-1970s. The show was created and originally hosted by Don Whistler, chief of the Sac and Fox tribe, and continued by OU’s Sequoyah Indian Club. The Indians for Indians Hour was a vibrant blend of Native music and speech on an incredible array of topics, including community life, military service, religion, education, and advocacy for Native rights. It represents an incredible snapshot of United States history as told through Native American experience.
The University of Oklahoma Libraries will open Native Voices Over the Airwaves: The Indians for Indians Hour Radio Show Nov. 14 in Bizzell Memorial Library. Opening events include a reception at 2:30 p.m. in the library featuring remarks by Sac and Fox Principal Chief Justin F. Wood as well as by Donna Williams, who is a granddaughter of Chief Whistler.
A performance inspired by the radio show at Catlett Music Center, 500 W. Boyd St., follows at 7 pm. as a part of the OU School of Music’s Ruggles Native American Music Series. Livestreaming for the performance will also be available for those who can't attend: www.ou.edu/fine...
The exhibition’s opening events are co-sponsored by OU Libraries, the School of Music in the OU Weitzenhoffer College of Fine Arts, the Native American Studies Department in the OU College of Arts and Sciences and the Native Nations Center.
