Description (dc): The Indians for Indians radio show was broadcast from OU’s WNAD radio station from 1941 through 1976. Created by Don Whistler, who was chief of the Sac and Fox Tribe, the show was an intertribal forum for Native self-expression. Recordings of approximately 200 of the broadcasts have been archived in OU’s Western History Collections. In 2018, the OU Libraries received a Council on Library and Information Resources Recordings at Risk grant to digitize these recordings and make them accessible online. Please note that a few recordings are restricted pending consultations with Native communities regarding potentially sensitive content.
