Cathy Duchamp introduces us to the "Duwamish - Seattle's Landless Tribe", by getting inside their hearts and heads. The actualities are clear, forceful and insightful. We learn of the tribe's losses through discrimination and their hope for the future due to members' determination. There are several references to males of the tribe, but all the voices in the story belong to women who are moving the tribe forward.
Duchamp uses ambient sound to bring tribal culture and history to the listener. While the piece focuses on a tribe in Seattle it's very airable elsewhere. I'm thinking of using it myself and look forward to hearing the other 3 parts of the series.
