The audio version of this story, as was made for air on KFUG Community News. Report by Persephone Rose. Song used is a Tolowa Dee-ni’ Gambling song performed by Loren Bommelyn, Carl James, Sam Lopez, Walter Richards, Sr., & Frederick Scott, Jr.
The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation is excited to announce that they are planning for this year’s Dee-ni’ Day! Save the date – Saturday, September 10th from 10:00am – 4:00pm at the Howonquet Hall Community Center at 101 Indian Ct in Smith River. All are invited to the family-friendly event, which will involve food and craft vendors, cultural demonstrations, indigenous work shows, gambling, touch-a-truck, stick games, and much, much more!
Official flier from the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation.
This is the 15th annual Dee-ni’ day—a day to celebrate the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s people and culture. Originating from their own take on the “Indian Day” observances you may find on the calendar, like October 1st, or the more formally worded Native American Heritage Day, November 25th. These days, different as they are across the nation for the various peoples who celebrate them, have evolved with the modern day cultures of the tribe, a demonstration that these tribes are still here. Honoring this day as their own, Dee’ni Day has become a sort of fair—a cultural carnival of delights where crafts, food, and games are shared with everyone who wishes to partake, whether they are a member of the tribe or not.
To fulfill their hopes on this year’s decade and a half milestone, the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation is seeking people to fill various roles. These roles include a traditional salmon cooks to assist with the 5:30pm dinner and a traditional sand bread cook to assist throughout the day (all tools and ingredients provided, just requiring the hands to work them.) They are also a seeking a stick game organizer to organize a stick game tournament and/or scrimmage, including coordination with Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation Staff on development of gameplay rules that will be applied to various ages and brackets.
Please save the date and join the tribe for this family-friendly event! You can visit their website for more information, to fulfill roles, or to sign up as a vendor at this year’s Dee-ni’ Day, all, once more, at tolowa-nsn.gov.

Have you received COVID-19 booster shot? The list of things that put people at risk of contracting the virus is long, which means that the list of people who need the booster shot is even longer.
Check out our video to understand why receiving a COVID-19 booster shot may be worthwhile for your health. And for more information, visit https://covid19.ca.gov/ .
It’s the kids’ turn to get protected from COVID-19! In Del Norte County, all community clinics and pharmacies are able to vaccinate children from 5-11 years old.
Children can easily contract, spread, and eventually get very sick from the COVID virus, and they could suffer the long term consequences from a viral infection. Luckily, the benefits of a vaccination outweigh the risks for the majority of people.

Expecting mothers are worried about how COVID-19 immunization will affect themselves and their growing baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tens of thousands of pregnant women have been immunized with no complications, and they will pass along antibodies for COVID to the infant while nursing.
Nevertheless, few pregnant women in Del Norte County are immunized against COVID-19. With our high rates of disease transmission and the fact that pregnant women get more sick when they contract the virus, immunization is urgent.

Homelessness SUCKS. Food insecurity, exposure to the elements, and insufficient rest all contribute to that difficult life. And because of these factors, the COVID-19 pandemic is even more threatening to people who are homeless.
Luckily, there are steps an unhoused person can take to protect themselves! Wearing a mask, using hand sanitizer, getting immunized, and safely socially isolating as much as possible are things they can do to help keep themselves safe. Del Norte county has many resources that offer help.
Masks and sanitizers are available at:
-Rural Human Services on 286 M Street
-The Department of Health and Human Services on 880 Northcrest Drive
-Community Assistance Network on 355 Standard Veneer
March, 2022—we gather the many works that have slipped through the cracks from the Redwood Voice Crew, primarily their contributions to local news. Join Persephone Rose, Director of Redwood Voice, and Paul Critz, Station & Program Manager for KFUG Community Radio, for a review of the many recent projects the ever-growing Redwood Voice team have submitted to the KFUG Community News program—stories that are most often sent to broadcast and not heard again. Until now, that is, through the planned-to-be monthly editions of the Redwood Voice Anthology.
On this anthology we’ll discuss and review these stories, as well as give them a place to air in full. The stories in this Anthology include:
