You can listen to an episode of Native America Calling online featuring the Stronghold Society at http://www.nativeamericacalling.com/
The Heartbeat of Native Skate Parks: The scrape of skateboard wheels gripping cement and plywood formations that Native boarders just can’t seem to get enough of, captivates the imagination while stretching the possibilities of physics and physical agility. Not only is skating on the Rez and in the city a test of skills, it’s also a path to new discovery and focus. For some, it’s a way to be in line with a healthy life while still enjoying what it means to be young. So just what is the connecting line between culture and skating? How are tribal communities changing the lives of their youth with offering venues for this sport including tribal built skateparks? Guests: Mike Hugues (Shoshone-Bannock) and Walt Pourier (Oglala Lakota)… and Crazy Joe Mesteth Oglala Lakota get ready to rock!!
