The prestigious Santa Fe Indian Market draws over 1,000 Indigenous artists from more than 200 tribal nations each year, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists from Canada. But this year, economic policies from the Trump administration have complicated things for those traveling from north of the border. We'll chat with a few artists. Also on the show: India and China will restart direct flights, and mortgage rates dip, but not enough to boost demand.
The Daily Signal - Parental Say in Children’s Education Is Key Concern Among Virginia Voters
“Things Take Time”
The Mirriam Webster Dictionary defines the word ‘campaign’ as: a connected series of operations designed to bring about a particular result. There is no definition of how many of those operations it might take to achieve a goal. Such is the case of school choice in Virginia.
In 2012, after years of trying to convince legislators to follow the lead of states like Florida, Arizona and Nevada to offer ‘money-follows-the-child’ voucher programs (Nevada has since reversed their voucher program), Virginia created the Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credit to help generate tax-advantaged contributions to a state managed program where approved students could use the scholarship to pay to attend a school of their choice. Not the same, but a step in the campaign.
In 2021 with the election of Winsome Earle-Sears as lieutenant Governor, the school choice movement had a vocal proponent who teamed up with the Virginia Education Opportunity Alliance to bring real choice to the legislators with the political upside of Conservative Republicans being the heroes in the low-income inner-city neighborhoods. That effort was done in by rural representatives whose constituents didn’t have many choices in their sparsely populated counties.
Now, with the advent of Micro-Schools and Co-operative schools as we detailed in a previous column, perhaps now is the time. The Heritage Foundation partnered with Fabrizio and Lee to conduct a focus group of likely voters to see their feelings on education, choice and the role of the parents. We talked with Jonathan Butcher of the Heritage Foundation about the results.

Native America Calling - Wednesday, August 20, 2025 – Building community through radio
Since the technology was first made publicly available in the U.S. more than a century ago, radio has endured repeated predictions of its demise. Even with the explosion of digital streaming and on-demand podcasts, the nation’s top ratings firm finds at least 82% of Americans listen to traditional, terrestrial radio each week. We’ll mark National Radio Day by talking to Native people who have a passion for the medium, including the host of the longest-running Native radio show in Texas, a radio reporter who covers Indigenous affairs in Oklahoma, and an Alaska teenager who built his own internet radio station in his bedroom.
GUESTS
Sarah Liese (Turtle Mountain Chippewa and Diné), Indigenous Affairs reporter at KOSU
Albert Old Crow (Southern Cheyenne), Cheyenne and Arapaho tribal council coordinator and host of “Beyond Bows and Arrows”
Colton Prince (Athabascan and Iñupiaq), owner of 98.5 Music Alaska
