In light of this week’s media focus on the events of September 11, 2001, we feel it appropriate to offer an encore presentation of a program created last September, featuring music and words from people representing the tribes native to the New York area.

Long before there was a World Trade Center, for thousands of years before there was a city called New York or a country called the United States of America, indigenous people have lived in the region of Turtle Island now known as the State of New York. The indigenous people of New York State include the Haudenosaunee people who are members of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, and the Shinnecock Nation of Long Island.

This week we feature music and words which express ancient wisdom pertinent to today, from artists representing tribes of the New York area, listening with new ears to music and words recorded long before September 11, and hearing of the Peacemaker who long ago taught the people of the region new ways of harmonious living.

Listen online by going to AIROS, air times for Different Drums as follows; Tuesday 9/10: 10am, 4pm, 10pm, Wednesday 9/11: 4am, Sunday 9/15: 6am, Monday 9/16: 6am. (All Times ET).
