Vaya Con Muñoz 12.24.16

In Vaya Con Muñoz

We talk with Senior Lecturer on Journalism Ethics at Western New England University Marie Grady about how best the press should cover the Twitter-loving incoming president.
Also, Lawrence Hott, esteemed film critic on WHMP, talks about his documentary, “Rising Voices/Hotȟaŋiŋpi.” It is the story of a passionate, dedicated and diverse group of people – members of the Lakota community and Linguists from outside of the community who are working together to save the Lakota language and restore it to its rightful place in Lakota, and American, culture. Told through the voices of a wide range of Lakota people who share their feelings about their language and the myriad challenges facing their community, the film also incorporates four short films created for Rising Voices by Lakota filmmakers and artists, each one giving a perspective on how finding one’s authentic “language” connects a person to a deeper sense of culture.
Rising Voices offers a snapshot into a day-to-day struggle of one of the biggest Native American nations, and illuminates the devastating problem of ancestral language loss to Native American people. Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/64583470
And we are sung out by Wilkins singing a festive Puerto Rican medley of Christmas songs, “Cantares de Navidad.”
