I love the radio show, especially to hear the elders. I only just discovered it. I'm learning Jalagi. I wish I knew more so I could understand the Cherokee conversations better. Such lovely stories, experiences, people... God bless the families of the elders passing on. Dodadagohvi.

That's what my old folks from Arkansas said "We were all poor and so we didn't know it was anything different than that, that's just how we thought the whole world was."
