[tstokely at trinityalps.net]

Co-producers Northern California Cultural Communications and KIDE-FM,
Hoopa, California are proud to announce the release of "Dying for Water:
Indians, Politics & Dead Fish in the Klamath River Basin," a Native radio
documentary on the impact and aftermath of the 2002 Klamath River fish
kill. 

"Dying for Water" premiered on KIDE-FM March 11th, followed by a special
edition of Native America Calling, a national program, on the Klamath Dam
relicensing issue. Guests included Ron Reed, Glenn Spain and a PacifiCorp
representative. NAC programs are available from their audio archives at
www.airos.org 

We will be happy to send one or more CDs to list members at no charge,
however, the disks cost $3.87 to produce and mail, so donations would be
much appreciated. So would the names of policy makers or others who you
think should receive a copy. 

We will also be updating our website, www.flickerfeather.org within the
next two weeks. Please send me any sources of information and links to
include on the site. 

Suggestions for sources of potential funding to continue to distribute
"Dying for Water," and produce more documentaries of this kind, would also
be most welcome. 

Check with your local public radio station to see if or when they will be
airing "Dying for Water." Stations that will be scheduling the program
include KHSU & KHSR, (Arcata/Crescent City); KMUD, (Redway); KZYX & Z
(Philo/Ukiah), KZFR (Chico); KRBS (Oroville); KVMR (Nevada City); KPFZ
(Lakeport), KUSP (Santa Cruz), KALW (San Francisco) and KPFA (Berkeley).
"Dying for Water" will air nationally over the Public Radio Satellite
System on the AIROS Network in May. 

The hour long audio program features the voices and songs of the Native
people most affected by the fish kill and on-going Klamath water issues.
Narrated by Merv George, Jr. (Hupa) the program begins with interviews
collected during early October, 2002, and continues the story through the
political manuevering over water flows, the mission to Scottish power
headquarters, and community organizing efforts such as the Annual Salmon
Relay Run founded by students at Hoopa High School. The careful editing,
rich ambience and emotional impact of the storytelling set this production
apart from the usual radio fare. 

Thank you,
