Gary Farmer, actor, journalist and founder of Aboriginal Voices Radio, spoke to students last Friday at the University of Montana campus. During a question and answer session, he told the audience he was bewildered that the UM radio station, KBGA, didn’t have any Native programming. Check out the video to hear his comments.

Great story Jodi.
Isn’t it strange when we live right here in town and never even thought about using the campus radio to share so many of the Native events in this community. Thank you Gary Farmer for pointing it out and you Jodi for bringing it to our attention.

The SSCRA of 1940 stated Native American Indians serving in the military will be taxed according to their tribal laws and not the laws of the state in which the tribe is located in,.
This law was not enforced and Indian Military members were ilegally taxed up until 2001. This question should be asked by tribal leaders and president obama should enact legislation to repay and compensate all these veterans or their next of kin.
